Chapter 478 - A Misunderstanding (2/2)

Hearing Qin Sheng’s words, Yaya finally had a bit of a smile on her face as she said dubiously, “Really?”

Qin Sheng smiled and teased her, “Yes. I never lie. Especially when talking to such a beautiful sister.”

Yaya happily hugged Qin Sheng again right away. “Brother! I finally have a brother.”

Yaya’s words reminded Qin Sheng of the scene when he had seen his senior sister back then. At that time, he had muttered in secret that he finally had a senior sister and that he would never be lonely and miserable in the future. Thinking of how his senior sister doted on him so much later, he could relate to Yaya’s feelings. So he hugged Yaya affectionately as he said, “Yes. I also have a sister. Being your brother, I will protect you in the future.”

Kinship was something that wouldn’t be diluted by time and distance. Although this was the first time Qin Sheng had met Yaya, Qin Sheng could immediately get used to his new role after making sure that Yaya was his junior sister.

After this happy encounter, they had endless words to say to each other. As Zhao Anzhi asked Qin Sheng about his situation over the years, Qin Sheng also asked about their situation. Qin Sheng was even more touched after learning that they returned from abroad this time after knowing that he had returned to the Qin Family. Zhao Anzhi had been living in Canada, and they had not made many trips back to their homeland.

Chang Baji and Hao Lei both had taken the initiative to leave sensibly. It was somewhat inappropriate for them to be present while Qin Sheng was reunited with his family members. Anyway, they had gotten used to Qin Sheng’s life. After all, the Qin Family where Qin Sheng had come from was really awesome.

After chatting about those trivial matters, Qin Sheng was ready to pay his respects to his grandfather. He seemed to be in a good mood. After all, he suddenly had an aunt who loved him and a beautiful and lovely sister. The Qin Family would be livelier.

Zhao Anzhi and Yaya, who had already paid their respects to the Old Master, stood on the side and watched. Qin Sheng knelt down, lit incense sticks, poured a glass of wine, and kowtowed. Then he sighed and said, “Grandfather, I used to think all the time that I was an orphan abandoned by my father and my mother and that I was the most miserable child in the world. I don’t think that’s the case anymore. On the contrary, I feel that I’m much more blessed than most people. That is because I have parents and a senior sister. And now I have an aunt, an uncle and a beautiful junior sister. Grandpa, I don’t know why you took me away from Beijing back then. But I’m sure you had your own reasons. I’m convinced of this because I feel that in all the world you were the only one who would never harm me. Grandpa, don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”

Qin Sheng had originally wanted to have a good chat with his grandfather. However, it seemed that there was no chance for him to do so at the moment. After all, his auntie and junior sister were still there and he couldn’t keep them waiting. Moreover, Qin Sheng was somewhat shy to say some words to his grandpa while in front of others.

After paying his respects to his grandfather, Qin Sheng left with his auntie and Yaya. Zhao Anzhi wanted to go to the place where he had been living with his grandfather. So, Qin Sheng drove them to the old house in her Q7, while Chang Baji and Hao Lei drove behind them.

Compared with the appearance it had when Qin Sheng paid a visit before the Spring Festival, the old house seemed to have been cleaned up; even the weeds in the courtyard were gone. Every corner of the old house had been tidied up and also the wooden fence had been renovated. Only the three old rooms remained untouched. Qin Sheng didn’t know who had cleaned up the place; his best guess was that it had been the villagers doing.

Yaya was a little surprised. “Brother, did you and Grandfather use to live here?”

Yaya grew up in Canada with a naturally good environment. She, who had never seen this kind of house, was shocked upon learning that her grandfather and brother had lived in such a modest place.

Qin Sheng nodded faintly. “It was actually pretty good in the past. It’s just that this house has been vacant for a few years and it looks a bit old and tattered.”

Zhao Anzhi sighed. “I do understand why the Old Master would live here. It’s just that you suffered.”

“Auntie, I don’t feel bitter at all,” said Qin Sheng, shaking his head straightaway.

Zhao Anzhi could imagine what kind of life Qin Sheng had led with the Old master during his childhood. While he had lived in Beijing, he had been favored by many family members. And both the members of the Qin Family and the Zhu Family loved Qin Sheng dearly, fearing wronging him in the slightest. However, after following the Old Master to Xi’an, he led a vastly different life. Zhao Anzhi wondered how Qin Sheng had gotten used to it.

“You’re a silly boy,” Zhao Anzhi said helplessly.

Qin Sheng thought of his uncle who had become a monk at Mount Wutai and asked with great concern, “Auntie, how is Uncle doing?”

At the mention of Qin Changxing, Zhao Anzhi was a bit disappointed. She said very impatiently, “Let’s not talk about him today.”

Zhao Anzhi’s words made Qin Sheng feel somewhat puzzled; he was already curious to know why his uncle had become a monk. He wondered about what had pushed his uncle to decide becoming a monk. After all, his uncle had a wife as well as a child.

Qin Sheng sighed. It seemed that he would have to discover those past events of the Qin Family in a slow manner.
