Chapter 453 We Will Get Married in Half a Year
Back in Ningbo, Qin Sheng had told Lin Su some information about his family members randomly, for example, his grandpa, who had been a prestigious leader, had passed away many years ago; he had a super-rich tyrant boss who was mysterious; his uncle was a general who had three stars embedded on the shoulders of his uniforms; his Small Uncle was popular in the political field in Shanghai; and so on.
However, never had Qin Sheng told her the specific identities of his relatives. Since what he had said was vague, Lin Su could not figure out who they were, let alone their specific identities. However, after she recognized who Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt was today, she gradually figured out who Qin Sheng’s specific relatives were in an instant.
Since the middle-aged woman, whose temperament was extraordinary, was Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt, of course, his Small Uncle was the tycoon who had just taken charge of the municipal government recently. Since the family name of Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt was Zhu, if Lin Su dug deep into her family background based on her husband’s family background information, it would be self-evident who Qin Sheng’s grandpa was. Following that, it would be clear who Qin Sheng’s uncle was.
As Lin Su summarized the clues one after another, she learned the specific identities of those so-called tycoons in Qin Sheng’s previous words. Moreover, she understood more how magnificent Qin Sheng’s family background was, as well as why Qin Sheng had been able to mobilize so many resources in Ningbo.
However, the only thing Lin Su didn’t know was who Qin Sheng’s father was. After all, those people she had thought of didn’t have much connection with Qin Sheng’s father. Lin Su could not figure out the identity of Qin Sheng’s father at the moment.
Nobody noticed the subtle change of the looks in Lin Su’s face and eyes. Even though Lin Su had been mentally prepared early on, she was somewhat astounded after she found out who Qin Sheng’s relatives were. Back when she had just known Qin Sheng at the beginning, he had been an ordinary man without any outstanding family background. However, when it came to the family background, Qin Sheng stood at the top level of the pyramid now. There was a huge difference between his current family background and his previous one. Nobody would dare to imagine this kind of situation would happen in reality.
Zhu Qingwen, who noticed that the confused look in Lin Su’s eyes, asked with a smile, “Lin Su, what are you thinking about? Why didn’t you eat some food?”
It was not until Lin Su heard what Zhu Qingwen said that she came to her senses and replied, “Auntie, it occurred to me suddenly that I met you in Shanghai previously.”
Zhu Qingwen replied thoughtfully, “Oh? When? Why didn’t I have any impression of you?” Her reply was a polite one. Since she participated in some academic and philanthropic activities frequently, it was no wonder that Lin Su had met her previously. Moreover, as a professor at Fudan University, she had imparted her knowledge to many students.
Lin Su replied honestly, “Last fall. The charity organization under the charge of Uncle He held a party in Yuerong Manor. You were also there. It just so happened that I was one of the organizers of the charity organization. So I met you at that time.”
Zhu Qingwen replied half-playfully, “Oh, that was last year. I am too old to keep everything in my mind. However, since we will meet each other every day in the future, I won’t forget you again.”
Instead of helping Lin Su connect with others on the scene, Qin Sheng let Lin Su take the initiative to talk with his Small Aunt and others. In his opinion, the kind of direct conversation like this could draw those conversing closer. Moreover, females would surely have more topics in common.
Most interestingly, Qin Ran, Xue Qingyan, and Lin Su all specialized in financial investment. What they talked about was quite interesting. Since Zhu Qingwen knew the economic situation as well as the development of the industry quite well, they had an in-depth conversation.
Qin Sheng was busy chatting randomly with Zhu Jiayou. Since he would show Song Ruyu around in Shanghai a few days later, Zhu Jiayou, a local rich playboy in Shanghai, would know more about Shanghai than Qin Sheng.
At last, the atmosphere was not as cheerless as it was in the beginning. After they started a conversation, they talked about whatever they wanted. In order to sit closer to Lin Su, Zhu Yi swapped seats with Qin Sheng directly.
Qin Sheng looked helpless. Xue Qingyan said half-playfully, “All sufferings have their rewards. You finally get the rewards.”
Qin Sheng sighed emotionally as he replied, “Kind of. I hope everything can be fine in the future.”
At that moment, Zhu Qingwen, who suddenly thought of the topic from the start of the family dinner, said, “Lin Su, since you and Sheng’er have been together for a long time as well as gone through many ups and downs, when do you plan to get married? Although Sheng’er’s mother, my sister, passed away many years ago, as your Small Aunt, I surely need to worry about you more.”
Everybody on the scene stared at Lin Su subconsciously and waited for her answer, thinking that Lin Su’s answer might not disappoint them. After all, right now, the difference between her identity and that of Qin Sheng had been transformed fundamentally.
However, Qin Ran felt somewhat nervous. Although her Small Aunt was urging Qin Sheng and Lin Su to get married, her old man might not necessarily agree with her. Based on the current situation, since her father had taken the initiative to pave the way for Song Ruyu, he was more inclined to ask Qin Sheng to choose Song Ruyu over Lin Su. However, in order not to make the relationship between him and Qin Sheng worse, which had reached a deadlock, he did not put pressure on Qin Sheng.
It was unknown whether it was because Lin Su had drunk some red wine or she felt somewhat shy that she was slightly blushing. She lowered her head slightly and stared at Qin Sheng as she said, “Auntie, in my opinion, anytime is OK. However, it depends on Qin Sheng’s thoughts.”
For any woman, getting married was the most anticipated and beautiful moment in her life. Lin Su was no exception. She had known Qin Sheng for several years and had been together with him for a year and a half. They had experienced whatever should take place in reality. Or to be more exact, they had experienced more than others. Speaking of the friends surrounding Lin Su who were of the marrying age, they had either gotten married because of their age or gotten things ready before they officially got married. Consequently, Lin Su certainly had thought of getting married as well. However, never had she taken the initiative to bring it up to Qin Sheng. After all, when it came to getting married, she would rather care about Qin Sheng’s opinion more than put too much pressure on him. She had done so previously, knowing that Qin Sheng had kept many things in his mind; for example, he intended to work hard, rise up high in society, and have an outstanding career before taking getting married into account. Although Qin Sheng had not confessed some of his thoughts to Lin Su, she had well known in secret that Qin Sheng wanted to prove himself, show others that her choice was right, and provide her with a happy and comfortable life before he brought up the thought of getting married.
Men and women had their respective considerations. For Lin Su, as long as she could go on her life’s journey with Qin Sheng, she would be satisfied. If she had considered the external conditions, she would not have chosen Qin Sheng previously. She really did care about what Qin Sheng’s thoughts were.
After Lin Su finished her words, everybody on the scene understood her opinion. Zhu Yi could not help saying, “Cousin, since Susu said so, you should state your position clearly.”
Zhu Jiayou joined in the fun as he said, “Cousin, when will you get married? I’m ready to be your best man. Since I’m so handsome, I certainly would not disgrace you.”
Qin Ran stared at Qin Sheng peacefully. Of course, she had hoped that Qin Sheng could get married as soon as possible. After all, she only had one brother. However, deep inside her heart, she felt somewhat contradictory. The look in Xue Qingyan’s eyes was disappointing. Even so, she also hoped that the lovers could be united in wedlock.
