Chapter 452 - Qin Sheng’s Family Background Was Gradually Uncovered (2/2)

Xue Qingyan replied in a low voice, “I have been staying in Shanghai all the time and only go back to Hangzhou if there are some emergencies. Since you’ve come back to Shanghai now, we can meet each other frequently in the future.”

As a sole elder on the scene, Zhu Qingwen was in charge of how the atmosphere of the family dinner ran. She, who was in a good mood, said, “Don’t keep standing there. Let’s sit down and talk.”

Zhu Qingwen took the initiative to invite Lin Su to sit by her side. Qin Sheng sat next to Zhu Jiayou. Before he sat down, Zhu Jiayou whispered in his ear in a low voice, “Cousin, it did not occur to me that you would be such a master of hitting on girls. How did you abduct my beautiful sister-in-law? Please impart more experience to me, your younger cousin, in the future.”

Qin Sheng did not know whether he should laugh or cry as he said, “My charisma works. You can’t get it by learning.”

Not only had Qin Sheng strangely answered Zhu Jiayou’s question but also he had taken his underserved gain for granted, which made Zhu Jiayou speechless. Following that, Zhu Jiayou burst into laughter.

Zhu Qingwen frowned and said, “Jiayou, what are you muttering about?”

Zhu Jiayou replied in a hurry, “Mom, nothing at all. My cousin told me a joke.”

What Zhu Jiayou had said hit back at Qin Sheng smartly. Admittedly, Zhu Jiayou was quite quick-witted. Qin Sheng, who had been short-changed, did not bother to pay attention to him.

Lin Su was the only guest among all the people on the scene today. Zhu Qingwen smiled and said, “Lin Su, Auntie ordered several dishes at random. You can check the menu and see whether anything is your favorite. No outsiders are here today. You don’t need to act reservedly.”

Lin Su replied politely, “Auntie, I am the same as Qin Sheng. We are not particular about food. Whatever your arrangement is, it’s fine for us.”

After Zhu Qingwen, who was not persistent on the kind of petty issues like this, heard what Lin Su had said, she called the waiter over and told him to begin serving the dishes that she had ordered in advance. The atmosphere was somewhat cold at first. Although everybody was trying to take Lin Su’s mood into account, they did not know how they should start.

Zhu Qingwen took the initiative to speak. “Lin Su, Qing Yan told me that you worked in Shanghai before, right?”

Lin Su replied frankly, “Yes, Auntie, I worked in Shanghai before and left here after I ran into Qin Sheng later.”

Zhu Qingwen said thoughtfully, “Then you have gone through a difficult journey. You must have suffered many hardships while standing by the side of Sheng’er. Did he bully you? If so, feel free to tell me. I will teach him a lesson for you.”

Lin Su turned her head back and glimpsed at Qin Sheng as she replied sincerely, “Auntie, Qin Sheng is quite good to me. Between me and him, it should be me who does more bullying. The best fortune in my life was encountering him.” After they went through many ups and downs, Lin Su was more certain that her choice at that time was the most correct one she had ever made. Qin Sheng was destined to accompany her to finish the latter half of her long journey of life.

What Lin Su said made Zhu Qingwen feel quite comfortable in secret. After all, everybody liked to hear good words about their children. Although Qin Sheng was not her biological son, ever since her sister had passed away, Zhu Qingwen had considered both Qin Ran and Qin Sheng as her biological children. Based on her attitude toward Qin Ran, it was clear that even though she had been separated from Qin Sheng for many years, she had a deep affection for both of them.

Zhu Qingwen replied randomly, “Lin Su, don’t spoil him. The lad probably is so happy in secret. In my opinion, he does not deserve you.”

What Zhu Qingwen said made Lin Su somewhat nervous, fearing that Zhu Qingwen’s words had a hidden meaning. After all, many people had thought they were not a match previously. Consequently, Lin Su replied, “Auntie, when it comes to the relationship between men and women, there is no such thing as to whether they are a match or not. As long as they like each other, everything should be fine. Other things don’t matter at all.”

Zhu Qingwen nodded smilingly and said, “You are such a considerate child.”

At that moment, the waiter began to serve the dishes. Zhu Qingwen, who could not focus on talking with Lin Su specifically, stared at Xue Qingyan. Consequently, Xue Qingyan took her place sensibly right away to talk with Lin Su.

At that moment, Zhu Jiayou asked Qin Sheng why he had gone to Ningbo, where he had many friends. If he had known that Qin Sheng would be there, he would have asked his friends to entertain Qin Sheng well.

Qin Ran said smilingly, “Your elder sister-in-law was born in Ningbo. You don’t need to arrange anything for them.”

Instead of being silent, Lin Su cut in on their conversations at times. However, she paid more attention to Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt, Zhu Qingwen, whom she constantly thought she had met somewhere. However hard she tried, she just could not remember where. After all, she had not been in Shanghai in quite a while.

As Zhu Qingwen lowered her head and stared at her cell phone, Lin Su stared at her angular profile and remembered who she was all of a sudden, making her astounded. It turned out that she was Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt. Lin Su had happened to know that her husband had just been promoted before the New Year holiday and he held a leading position in Shanghai City now.

At last, Lin Su gradually uncovered the mystery behind Qin Sheng’s family background…

The reason why Lin Su had recognized Zhu Qingwen was that back when she had been in Shanghai previously, Zhu Qingwen had been invited to a charity party by one of the tycoons in the charity organization. Since Zhu Qingwen had been an important guest at that time, they had taken her seriously.

However, it did not occur to her that the woman would be Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt and his Small Uncle would be a tycoon whom nobody dared to look down upon. “Then what about Qin Sheng’s other relatives? For example, his father?”
