Chapter 427 (1/2)
Qin Ran found it funny and did not know whether she should laugh or cry as she said, “Enough. You two should stop messing around. Let’s talk about something formal. Ye’zi, please take good care of Qin Sheng and keep in touch with me after you arrive in Ningbo. By the way, Qin Sheng, you should not always bully Ye’zi. I can’t promise you that Ye’zi won’t give you a beating.”
Qin Sheng said smilingly, “Sister, I am an honest and obedient person. Why would I bully Ye’zi? Moreover, Ye’zi is a beauty who is supposed to be held gently in one’s hands.”
Qin Ran glared at Qin Sheng and said, “You are so flirtatious.”
On the contrary, Nan Gong replied solemnly, “Sister Ran Ran, rest assured that I won’t let anything happen to him. However, I can’t promise you what I will do if he isn’t obedient to my arrangement.”
Qin Ran chuckled and said, “All right. You are a couple of quarrelsome friends. Set out now and get back to Shanghai early.” She had to rush back to the company to attend a meeting before 9:30 a.m. She feared that she would have to stay in Shanghai for a long time this time. Everything was in full swing in Beijing. It was said that the old guy had gone to Mount Wutai yesterday.
Though Qin Ran could not understand what on earth had happened, she could feel that the stormy crisis was going to fall upon them. Otherwise, her father would not have gone to Mount Wutai to disturb her Eldest Uncle.
Originally, Qin Ran had intended to accompany Qin Sheng to Ningbo, who was more eager to question the elders of the Lin Family in person and ask them how qualified the Lin Family was to look down upon the son of the Qin Family. Unfortunately, she had pretty urgent issues to attend to in Shanghai. Even Wu Han, who was supposed to go to Beijing to work after the Lantern Festival, had been summoned over by Qin Ran to be her temporary assistant in Shanghai.
It was not until Qin Ran gave them more advice that she got in the car and left. She believed that Qin Sheng could handle the issues in Ningbo well. Moreover, she had prepared a helper in Ningbo for Qin Sheng. To say the least, her Small Aunt was ready to back him up. In Qin Ran’s opinion, a negligible Lin Family should not deserve much attention from the Qin Family and cost them such great efforts.
After Qin Ran left, Nan Gong, who was not polite to Qin Sheng anymore, said enigmatically, “Grand Young Master, let’s go.”
Qin Sheng, who was not anxious to take his leave, said, “Hold on. Another friend is still on his way.”
Nan Gong glared at Qin Sheng agitatedly and said, “Who else are you waiting for? Why are you so picky?” She had known that she would not come across anything good once she came from abroad. It turned out that her guess had been true. Before she had time to pay a New Year’s Call to the Old Master in Beijing, she had been sent to Shanghai to protect Qin Sheng. If she had known her mission beforehand, she would have chosen to delay her journey back home for several days.
Qin Sheng was silent. Anyway, he would avoid talking to Nan Gong as much as he could, lest they fight with each other when there were disagreements between them. After all, he could not beat this violent woman.
Lao Chang arrived by taxi soon after and saw Qin Sheng standing by the Jeep Wrangler from afar. However, he was somewhat surprised that there was another woman by his side. Of course, Chang Baji did not know that this woman was one of the pivotal figures who had saved Qin Sheng in Huang Mei Town last time.
After Chang Baji arrived, Qin Sheng ordered him directly, “Get in the car and set off.”
It was Nan Gong who was driving. After all, it was only two hours’ drive. The driver could be rotated on the way. After Chang Baji got in the car, Qin Sheng introduced Nan Gong and Chang Baji to each other briefly. Nan Gong, who was not a stranger to Chang Baji at all, got Qin Sheng’s point after she saw Chang Baji. With this man by their side, they would have one more guarantee on their journey to Ningbo this time. After all, they had no idea what they might experience.
