Chapter 449 - What Can He Do Now? (2/2)

Once she saw Qin Sheng, the old lady almost forgot Song Ruyu, who was sitting beside her on the sofa, and Qin Ran, who she didn’t see for the past two days. She struggled to rise and said, “Oh, my Sheng’er, you’re finally back. I missed you so much.”

Qin Sheng immediately trotted over to his grandmother and held her arm. “Grandmother, I just left for a few days. I’m here now.”

“I’ve been waiting for you for over 20 years. I’m just afraid that you won’t come back once you leave,” the old lady couldn’t help saying. Qin Ran and Song Ruyu were both amused by the old lady’s childish words.

Qin Sheng tried to stop her. “Grandmother, come on, I won’t go anywhere. I’m staying in Shanghai for you.”

Then she pulled Qin Sheng to sit down, still squeezing his hand. Her great love and care made Qin Sheng moved. His elderly grandmother thought about him every day, calling him to ask about his daily routines. But he regretted that his grandmother was in such a bad health condition. His sister mentioned that last time when his grandmother was in the hospital, the doctor even gave a Critically Ill Notice, suggesting that she almost died. He just hoped that he could give more of his time to his grandmother.

“Sheng’er, let me introduce to you, this is…” The old lady pointed at Song Ruyu.

Qin Sheng broke in, “Grandmother, we’ve met before.”

“Ah? You’ve met?” The old lady didn’t expect that because Qin Sheng had just come back to their family.

Song Ruyu explained, “Grandmother, we met when he went to pay a New Year’s Call at my home.”

“Oh, well.” The old lady thought, “It must have been my son. How could he make Sheng’er so busy just after he came back? Why so hurried?”

Qin Ran asked, “Ruyu, why are you here in Shanghai? If you had informed me, I would have gone to pick you up at the airport.”

“Sister Ran Ran, I didn’t know that you were in Shanghai, I thought you were in Beijing. I came to Shanghai for my own business and dropped in to pay the New Year’s Call. I haven’t seen her in a long time.” Song Ruyu’s voice was soft and mild, and her innocent eyes also gave her a unique look.

Qin Ran said, “You rarely leave Beijing. How long will you stay in Shanghai?”

“I’ll take care of all my things tomorrow. I am staying for a few days. I’ve been in Shanghai before but never traveled around.” Song Ruyu, in fact, didn’t like modern big cities like Shanghai, but preferred quiet and remote towns.

Qin Ran said, “Oh, so Qin Sheng has enough free time now and can show you around. He had been in Shanghai for a couple of years and attended university in Shanghai.”

Before Song Ruyu answered, Qin Sheng was astonished and said, “Sister, you…”

“What? You don’t want to entertain our beautiful guest? A rare opportunity, you know.” Qin Ran was unhappy about Qin Sheng’s reaction.

Song Ruyu, though she had a good impression of Qin Sheng and would like to know more about him for some reason, sensed that Qin Sheng was not willing at once and said, “Sister Ran Ran, I’m all right. I just prefer being alone.”

The old lady always liked and cared for Song Ruyu. “Ugh? No way. Let Sheng’er go with you. I’ll be afraid for your safety if you’re alone.”

The old lady turned to Qin Sheng then. “Sheng’er, take good care of her for me, or I’ll let you know that my love can be tough.”

Qin Sheng was not sure what his sister meant, but he couldn’t refuse his grandmother and just said, “Grandmother, I’m quite all right with it, but maybe she would feel uncomfortable.”

“And you, Ruyu?” the old lady asked with an exploring smile.

Song Ruyu nodded and smiled. “I agree with you.”

Qin Sheng didn’t expect that Song Ruyu would agree. But what about Lin Su? She had just arrived in Shanghai. If he left her alone and went to accompany another woman, especially a beautiful young woman, Lin Su would definitely be irritated.
