Chapter 458 - Back to Beijing (2/2)

The old lady said happily, “This child is so considerate.”

After they had lunch, Qin Sheng drove Song Ruyu to the railway station. On the way, Song Ruyu asked, “When will you go back to Beijing?”

Qin Sheng replied casually, “Tomorrow, if everything goes well. That’s because the classes for advanced studies, which I attend at Tsinghua University, will start the day after tomorrow. Being the ambitious young man that I am, I’ve never skipped a class. I’m completely devoted to my studies.”

Song Ruyu replied gently, “Then, I will treat you once you’re done with your studies in Beijing.”

Qin Sheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he said, “Sister, you’ve already treated me four times in the past three days. Why are you planning to treat me again in Beijing?”

Song Ruyu smiled cutely and replied, “The situation in Beijing will be different. I will be a host there.”

What Qin Sheng said was just a joke. He accepted Song Ruyu’s invitation gladly. Even so, he was thinking about how he should communicate with her brother. Based on what had happened that day, Qin Sheng could tell what kind of social position Song Ruyu’s brother took in Sijiu City’s social circle.

After Qin Sheng saw Song Ruyu off, he drove back to Pudong in a hurry. By the time he arrived at Pudong, Hao Lei had arrived in Shanghai along with Tang She from his hometown in Zhejiang. Originally, Tang She was supposed to have a steady career in Hangzhou. However, due to his involvement in Qin Sheng’s issue, he had ended up miserably, making Qin Sheng feel somewhat guilty.

After Hao Lei helped Tang She complete the check-in procedure, they finished lunch together with Chang Baji. Following that, they chatted away in the room, waiting for Qin Sheng’s arrival.

After Qin Sheng opened the door and walked in, Tang She stood up somewhat excitedly. Never did it occur to him that Qin Sheng and his brothers would keep him in their minds. After all, they had been incapable of defending themselves at that time, eventually having been driven out of Hangzhou city. Even so, Tang She never regretted the choice he had made at that time. Everyone needed to be responsible for their choices regardless of the result. Moreover, back when he was in Hangzhou, he wouldn’t have risen from the bottom of Poly International without Qin Sheng’s appreciation.

Tang She, clueless about how to start the conversation, had no choice but to say, “Brother Qin.”

Qin Sheng walked over; he hugged Tang She and said in a deep voice, “Brother, you don’t need to say anything else since I knew everything about you. Let bygones be bygones. The good days are just starting. You don’t need to pay attention to any other things during this period. All you need to do is to recover well from your illness. Once your health is back to normal, we will rush back to Hangzhou to have our revenge.”

Tang She’s blood started to boil once he heard what Qin Sheng said. Of course he would seek revenge against those bastards who had broken his arm.

Qin Sheng added, “Tang She, when I was besieged on all sides, there were only a few ones, including you, accompanying me on my life’s journey. I will skip how Brother Lei and Lao Chang helped me at that time. After all, our relationship is there. However, to be honest, it didn’t occur to me that you would stand by my side without hesitation. Nor did I expect that Gu Xiaobo would betray me. Since you stood by me, I will certainly promise you a glorious future.”

Tang She, who was moved by what Qin Sheng had said, replied somewhat incoherently, “Brother Qin, I wonder how qualified I am to be treated by you like this. I just did what I should do. That’s all.”

Qin Sheng patted Tang She on his shoulder as he said, “As the saying goes, it is the most warm-hearted thing to help people in their time of need. I know it clearly in my mind.”

At dusk, Qin Ran didn’t ask Lin Su to continue working overtime like other colleagues usually did, possibly knowing that Qin Sheng would go back to Beijing the following day and also anticipating Lin Su’s obsessive work ethic. Instead, she ordered Lin Su to go home directly after work.

By the time Lin Su arrived at the Shimao Riviera Garden, Qin Sheng had already made dinner ready and was waiting for her; it consisted of four dishes and one soup, indicating that he was certainly a good household man. Ages had passed since Lin Su had enjoyed the dishes cooked by Qin Sheng. She felt somewhat surprised once she saw the sumptuous dinner.

Feeling somewhat concerned about Lin Su, Qin Sheng said, “I will go back to Beijing tomorrow. While I’m there, I will probably visit Xi’an once. You have to take care of yourself when I’m gone. Please contact my sister or my Small Aunt if there’s any issue.” Based on Qin Sheng’s guessing, the group of people, including Yan Chaozong, might already be aware that he had returned to Shanghai and knew his whereabouts.

Lin Su replied gently, “Sister arranged two bodyguards for me; they will pick me up before and after work. I will stay at the office at other times. Nothing should go wrong.”

Qin Sheng replied thoughtfully, “It’s better to be on alert. After all, Yan Chaozong is in Shanghai now. If it weren’t for my sister who can’t leave the business in Shanghai behind, I would eagerly take you back to Beijing so that I wouldn’t have to worry about these things.” Based on the Qin Family’s social status in Beijing, if Yan Chaozong dared to make trouble there, he would certainly bring about his destruction.

Lin Su held Qin Sheng’s hands and replied, “Got it. You should go back to Beijing with peace of mind.”

Of course, they had an unforgettable night, since they would be separated for some time.

In the morning, it wasn’t until Lin Su went to work that Qin Sheng took Hao Lei and Chang Baji with him and headed for Beijing. As the previous grudge and resentment needed to be resolved and the unknown crisis befell, Qin Sheng felt that the responsibility resting on his shoulders was heavier.
