Chapter 444 - Compromise (1/2)
Lin Su and Lin Yue were chatting away in the bedroom of the suite, temporarily forgetting about what was happening outside between those men. Though Lin Su could have said something, she’d rather allow Qin Sheng to make the decision, and she knew he could handle this.
Lin Yue still had a couple of questions about Qin Sheng’s incredible changes, but hesitated to ask. “Sister, on our way here, Dad said he would always leave it to me to decide my relationship and marriage and I can marry whoever I want. Maybe it’s due to Qin Sheng, I think.”
Lin Su flashed a small smile. “Lin Yue, no, he is not that influential. Second Uncle has always been open-minded about your matters. I think he’s worried about you, lest there be a repeat of what happened to me.”
Lin Yue shook her head and said, “Sister, to be honest, I’m not as brave as you, who confronted the whole Lin Family. If I were you, I might have given in to the family very early on, and I might not have such a capable husband as Qin Sheng to make me dare to give up everything for him.”
Lin Su held Lin Yue’s hand and said with a smile, “Nonsense. You’re still so young and have a long way to go. You’re such a beautiful young lady, and will eventually encounter your loved one. You know, when I saw him for the first time, I’d never imagined that I would give up everything for him one day in the future. Life is full of unexpected things, after all.”
“I hope so.” Lin Yue sighed, thinking about her own worries. She almost lost her expectation for the rest of her life due to witnessing Lin Su’s matters, but felt quite relieved after her father said that.
“Sister, I really wonder what happened to Qin Sheng, he almost became a different person. Since what happened a few days ago to the family, things became weird. You know, with Eldest Uncle’s temper, he should have hit Qin Sheng for his harsh and rude attitude, but he didn’t, even a couple of days later, he still didn’t. I know my father came to you today for the purpose of settling down the conflicts.” Lin Yue described her suspicion carefully.
Even Lin Su didn’t have a picture of the whole story, so she just said, “It’s hard to say. My husband-to-be is a real legendary person, he’s had so many unbelievable experiences. You’ll know about that later. This could be very easy to understand, just the law of the jungle, the most basic principle of the world.”
“Geez, forget it. The only thing I care about is that you and Qin Sheng are all good and have some babies. I’m expecting to be aunt.” Lin Yue erased the sense of puzzlement on her face and offered an innocent smile then.
Lin Su laughed. It had been several years since she met Qin Sheng, fell for him, and started a serious relationship. They overcame ups and downs together over the past two years, and finally overcame the barrier of her family. Now it was time to think about marrying.
Lin Su preferred to have a proper schedule for her life, timing her education, relationship, career, and then marriage. She liked the steady feeling of doing things step by step to gain a sense of safety and a better life.
Lin Su had attended lots of friends’ weddings. Every time she saw others in wedding gowns, showing off their brilliance, she just imagined her own wedding. Would she feel much too excited and shed tears, or be calm and easy as she always was? She had no idea until now, but she felt like tasting the sweetest honey.
The two sisters’ minds were both wandering in different directions. Lin Yue’s mind came back first due to the sudden silence outside. “Sister, it’s too quiet, so…”
“Let’s go and have a look.” Lin Su held Lin Yue’s arm and stepped outside, only to see Qin Sheng enjoying the tea in the living room.
Lin Yue looked left and right, “Brother-in-law, where’s my dad?”
“He already left.” Qin Sheng turned to her and smiled.
Lin Yue was puzzled and annoyed. “He forgot me? What’s wrong with him?”
“Maybe he just wanted you to accompany your sister longer. It’s time for lunch, you can have lunch with us and go back home after.” Qin Sheng giggled.
Since Qin Sheng didn’t want to eat out, they ordered food to be delivered to their suite. They chatted and had a few laughs over lunch. Qin Sheng tried to persuade Lin Yue to go to Shanghai with Lin Su, but she was afraid of her family, so Qin Sheng promised to handle this for her. He knew that the Lin Family would never say no to him again.
Lin Changting and Lin Ze were waiting at home anxiously for Lin Changhe’s news, which would influence the future of the Lin Family—to struggle to continue on, or to end right there and become a paragraph in a history book. It all depended on the result of the negotiation between Lin Changhe and Qin Sheng.
When they heard the sound of Lin Changhe’s car enter the yard, Lin Ze, who was waiting in the yard, rushed up to it and asked Lin Changhe the moment he got out, “What is it? Second Uncle?”
Lin Changhe had a cloudy face and didn’t answer. He had to consult his elder brother first and ask for his agreement.
Because Lin Changhe was silent, Lin Ze thought the negotiation had broken off. He was hopeless since if Qin Sheng insisted, the Lin Family would be really finished.
When his Second Uncle left from the back door, his father, Lin Changting, had persuaded those people surrounding the Lins’ house to go, buying them another two days to consider. Lin Ze was scared by those people since the Lin Family had never experienced such difficult times.
And his father, Lin Changting, was busy answering the phone call one after another. Every time his cellphone rang, Lin Ze felt too tense and almost developed a phone-phobia so that he had no choice but to turn off his own cellphone.
