Chapter 451 - Am I More Beautiful?” Aren’t You?” (2/2)

After Qin Sheng walked in, he greeted them smilingly as he said, “Well, you two beauties are also here.”

Regardless of how Song Chu had treated Qin Sheng previously, she had changed her attitude toward him completely after that day in Ningbo. Consequently, she teased Qin Sheng smilingly as she said, “Qin Sheng, Great Handsome Qin, although you took Susu from us a long time ago, you still did not treat us yet.”

Qin Sheng replied quite casually, “Haha, haha, these are all petty issues. I wonder when you two great beauties are available. Feel free to choose the date and location. All I need to do is to pay the bill. Since Lin Su just came back to Shanghai, you should take care of her in the future.”

Song Chu replied conveniently, “Then we should rip you off. Never should we be taken advantage of by you.”

Tan Jing, who felt that the time was almost up, frowned slightly, stood up, and said, “Song Chu, time for us to leave. We should not stay here, interrupting them from acting affectionately with each other.”

Song Chu, who was mature and sophisticated, replied, “Susu, then we will leave first. Let’s ask each other out later.”

Lin Su nodded smilingly. After that, she and Qin Sheng walked them out…

After they went back to the living room, Qin Sheng stared at Lin Su, who was meticulously dressed, and smiled as he said, “Honey, why do I feel that you’re suddenly much more beautiful than you were a few days ago?”

Lin Su played dumb on purpose and said, “Am I?” Of course, she would not tell Qin Sheng that she had specifically asked Song Chu and Tan Jing to go shopping with her at the Shanghai International Finance Center for the sake of dinner tonight.

Of course, Qin Sheng knew what was going on. It was clear that Lin Su took the family dinner tonight quite seriously. He replied playfully, “Aren’t you?”

It was almost 6 p.m. at that moment. Instead of delaying any longer, they left and headed for the restaurant where his Small Aunt had booked dinner tonight. It turned out that the restaurant was located along the way to East Gate, which Qin Sheng had visited some time ago. After all, whether it was the dishes or the environment there, the restaurant was good. Moreover, they were quite familiar with it.

At that time, everybody was there except for Qin Sheng and Lin Su. Qin Ran and Xue Qingyan sat on the left side of Zhu Qingwen. The two seats on the right side of Zhu Qingwen were vacant, which were reserved for Qin Sheng and Lin Su. Zhu Qingwen’s daughter and youngest son, who turned out to be Qin Sheng’s elder female cousin and younger male cousin, sat across from her.

At that moment, everybody was chatting with each other smilingly. Of course, the topic of their conversations focused on Qin Sheng and Lin Su.

Although everybody on the scene was familiar with Qin Sheng, some of them, including Zhu Qingwen, who had never seen Qin Sheng’s girlfriend in person, were quite curious about her.

Zhu Jiayou said in a seemingly casual way, “Mom, in your opinion, the girlfriend that my elder cousin found previously, is she acceptable? How about you introduce a new one to him?” Although he did not speak all of his thoughts out, he thought others on the scene should understand what he was thinking about. After all, his elder male cousin had been a nobody previously. Consequently, the girlfriend that he had at that time would not naturally be extraordinary. However, he had a different identity now. Ordinary women surely would not deserve him. Even if he liked his girlfriend so much, the Qin Family and the Zhu Family might not necessarily be satisfied with her.

Zhu Yi said smilingly, “Silly brother, you don’t need to bother to speak these things out. In your opinion, why did our mom set up such a dinner tonight? It surely is to help your elder male cousin check on his girlfriend. If his girlfriend did not even pass the test of our mom, it would not be necessary for her to meet Grandma and Uncle.”

Zhu Jiayou nodded quietly and said, “Oh, it’s like that.”

Zhu Qingwen, who looked distinguished, natural, and graceful, smiled and said, “You should stop guessing randomly. Sheng’er’s girlfriend won’t disappoint you. If she did not deserve Sheng’er, Ran Ran wouldn’t have agreed to let me see her.”

Zhu Jiayou and Zhu Yi looked at each other and thought, “That’s how it is. It’s clear that we thought of the issue from too simple a perspective.”

Qin Ran smiled gently and said, “Although I do know some things, I am not quite familiar with Lin Su. On the contrary, Qing Yan had many communications with her before. They should know each other well.”

Of course, Xue Qingyan knew why she had been invited to the family dinner tonight. It was because she was familiar with both Qin Sheng and Lin Su. In that case, she could help break the ice so that Lin Su would not feel too awkward.

After Xue Qingyan contemplated for a few seconds, she replied, “If we put the family background aside, Qin Sheng and Lin Su should be a golden match in many people’s eyes. However, in my opinion, when it comes to the relationship, we should not only take these things into account. The love between them matters the most. I know how difficult it is for Qin Sheng and Lin Su to be who they are today. They have gone through many setbacks and hardships. Although Qin Sheng and Lin Su sacrificed and gave up many things, they stuck with it to the end. That is the reason why they can be who they are today. If we evaluate their relationship from the perspective of the family background, even though the family background of Lin Su is not as good as that of Qin Sheng right now, back when Lin Su had made up her mind to choose Qin Sheng, there was a huge difference between their family backgrounds at that time. Consequently, everybody around her opposed her choice at that time, thinking that Qin Sheng did not deserve Lin Su at all. Even so, Lin Su proceeded to stick to her choice without hesitation. Never did she feel regretful. That is the most commendable thing about Lin Su.”

After Xue Qingyan finished her words, Zhu Jiayou and Zhu Yi finally understood why their mother had intended to see Qin Sheng’s girlfriend in person. It seemed that their mother had known everything about Lin Su.

Just then, Qin Ran said, “I agree with Qingyan. I also admire Lin Su the most for what she had done for Qin Sheng. In the past years, Qin Sheng had suffered many hardships as well as gone through many things. Even so, never had Lin Su turned her back on him. Instead, she had been standing behind him persistently all the time. She gave up the whole world for the sake of Qin Sheng. Consequently, I think other things do not matter at all.”

After Zhu Jiayou heard Qin Ran’s words, he could not help himself and said, “It did not occur to me that the love story of my elder male cousin and elder sister-in-law would be filled with twist and turns. Then, I would like to see her.”

Hardly had Zhu Jiayou finished his words when Qin Ran’s mobile rang. She stood up smilingly as she said, “They are here.”
