Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations Zhu Qingwen was almost 60 years old. Although she had experienced the joys and sorrows of life and death, she tried her best to tell Qin Sheng the news in a calm tone.
But she was her biological mother after all. Although she was over 90 years old and had reached the end of her life, Zhu Qingwen still found it hard to accept that she had to face this moment.
Humans are like this. Everyone knows the truth and we use it to comfort others. But only when it happens to us will we understand the feeling.
After hearing the news, Qin Sheng's mood instantly fell to the bottom. He didn't expect to hear this news as soon as he came back. How could he face his grandmother?
"Auntie, I'm sorry. I was wrong. It's all my fault. I made grandma's condition worse." Qin Sheng murmured with his head lowered in self-blame.
Zhu Qingwen was no longer angry at Qin Sheng. She was just a little resentful. When she heard that Qin Sheng was back, she was very happy.
Zhu Qingwen patted Qin Sheng's shoulder gently and said, "Sheng 'er, it has nothing to do with you. The doctor said that the old lady's body was weak. It's already a miracle that she could hold on until now. Or maybe it's because of your disappearance that the old lady has been holding on until now. She's waiting for you to come back."
Zhu Qingwen and the rest of the Zhu family didn't blame Qin Sheng. The old lady had reached the end of her life three years ago. If Qin Sheng hadn't gone missing again, the old lady might have left them that year. After Qin Sheng went missing, the old lady had been hanging on with her last breath, waiting for him to come back.
So this matter had nothing to do with Qin Sheng.
"Auntie," Qin Sheng said shakily.
Zhu Qingwen shook her head and said, "So, it's not that we don't want you to see the old lady. It's just that the old lady's body really can't bear the torment. We're all afraid that after seeing you, she'll die. So you have to understand us."
Qin Sheng felt an inexplicable pain in his heart, but he still said firmly, "Auntie, I understand."
Zhu Qingwen continued, "Alright, you haven't seen the old master yet, right? Then accompany Ruyu to see him. This time you've really done wrong. No matter what the old master or others say about you, you have to bear it, because Ruyu has suffered more than you in the past three years. Do you understand?"
Qin Sheng nodded heavily and said, "I understand."
However, Qin Sheng quickly asked, "Where's my uncle? Didn't he come today?"
Zhu Qingwen laughed and said, "If your uncle were here, would we be sitting here chatting? He won't be in Beijing recently and will only be back next week. But what I said just now is what he wanted to tell you. "
Qin Sheng nodded silently. After a moment of hesitation, he asked, "Auntie, can I peek at Grandma through the window when she's sleeping?"
Zhu Qingwen thought for a while and said, "Let's wait until tonight. I will tell the hospital."
With his aunt's words, Qin Sheng was completely relieved. Even though he could not meet his grandmother, it seemed that it was enough to see her from afar.
After coming out of the teahouse, Qin Sheng directly went back to the siheyuan of the Qin Family to get his things. He couldn't go to visit the Old Master empty-handed. The gift might not be enough, but the person's will was more important. If he took something and showed a better attitude, the Old Master might scold him less severely. After all, no one would hit a smiling person.
Song Ruyu had informed the Song Family, which caused a great disturbance in the Song Family. Everyone thought that the Qin Family and the Zhu Family were deceiving the Song Family. Unexpectedly, Qin Sheng came back alive.
Everyone in the family was happy and angry at the same time. They were happy that Qin Sheng did not die. Ruyu's three years of waiting had been worth it. She no longer had to listen to those mean words behind her back. The two children had experienced so many setbacks, and they had finally achieved the right result.
The reason for her anger was very simple. What on earth had he been doing in the past three years? Why hadn't he come back earlier? He had made Ruyu wait for three whole years. Did he know how much Ruyu had suffered for him?
Song Ruyu had not returned to the Song Family since she returned to Beijing yesterday afternoon. She had been staying with Qin Sheng. She had long regarded herself as the daughter-in-law of the Qin Family, and so did everyone in the Song Family.
When Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu arrived at the siheyuan of the Song Family, Old Master Song and the rest of the Song Family were already waiting for them. However, there were only Old Master Song and Song Ruyu's parents.
The last one was Song Hesheng.
This brother-in-law, who had caused so much trouble for Qin Sheng in the past, obviously would not let Qin Sheng off this time. Qin Sheng had made his beloved sister suffer so much.
Back then, Qin Sheng and Song Hesheng had almost fallen out because of this marriage. They had even fought fiercely. Qin Sheng had thrown Song Hesheng into the swimming pool in front of everyone, which could be said to have made Song Hesheng lose face.
After that, Song Hesheng had been grounded by Old Master Song. Since then, Qin Sheng had never seen Song Hesheng again.
When Chang Baji parked the car at the gate of the Song Family's siheyuan, Qin Sheng saw a man in a polo shirt standing at the gate before he got out of the car. At this moment, the man was staring at their car with a gloomy face. Although they had not seen each other for more than three years, Qin Sheng still recognized him instantly.
Song Hesheng.
As expected, he had been waiting for him.
Of course, Song Hesheng had been waiting for Qin Sheng. Otherwise, how could he have come back directly from the unit? After all, he was now a leader at the level of a ministry, department or bureau. He was very busy every day. How could he be idle and stand at the gate to enjoy the wind?
When Qin Sheng had an accident, it could be said that it had caused a great disturbance in Sijiu City. This disturbance had lasted for three years. Qin Sheng, who was not there, certainly did not know how many people's lives had been changed by this disturbance. But Song Hesheng, who had witnessed and experienced this disturbance, still had a lingering fear.
For example, he had been affected. Originally, according to the Song Family's plan for his official career, he should have been transferred from the ministry to a prefecture-level city in the south as a deputy mayor. Normally, it would not take long for him to become a regular official. This year, if there was no accident, he should have been the secretary of the municipal party committee.
But now he was still in the ministry. If he went out now, he could only be the mayor. If he wanted to be the secretary, he would have to spend more time. For no reason, he was a step slower than others.
He had been affected by the Song Family, who was behind him. What about the others?
At that time, countless families and big shots had taken action. The Song Family, the Zhu Family, and the Qin Family had all fought in close combat, in exchange for this not bad result.
But as the person involved, he had inexplicably disappeared for three years.
As for other things, Song Hesheng did not want to say anything more. In the general trend, most people were floating duckweed, and he was just a chess piece.
But for his sister, Song Ruyu, Qin Sheng's disappearance made her wait for three years, which also made her bear a lot of pressure.
Today, Song Hesheng wanted to ask why.
This had nothing to do with the original grievances between him and Qin Sheng. He had long forgotten those things, and he was not so narrow-minded.
He had also acquiesced in the marriage between Qin Sheng and his sister.
But he had to make Qin Sheng give him an explanation, because he knew that his sister definitely did not care about these things, but he did.
Qin Sheng slowly got out of the car and faced Song Hesheng. He had not seen his brother-in-law for three years, and it seemed that he had matured a lot. His aura was also much stronger than before. It was estimated that he must have been promoted.
At this time, Song Hesheng also got out of the car. He stared at Qin Sheng, trying to suppress him with his aura.
Qin Sheng said in a low voice, "Today, if you want to fight, I will not fight back."
Song Ruyu also got out of the car. She was most afraid that Qin Sheng would have a conflict with her brother, Song Hesheng. She hurriedly ran over and stopped Song Hesheng. "Brother."
Qin Sheng gently pulled Song Ruyu away and signaled her with his eyes to not care about anything. Today, it was only between him and Song Hesheng, and he would not resist whatever Song Hesheng wanted to do.
Of course, Song Hesheng knew that his sister would stop him. He laughed at himself and said, "I am not violent, and I don't want to beat you. I just want to ask why, on behalf of the Song family and Ruyu. Why did you disappear for three years?"
Qin Sheng let out a long sigh and said, "I also want to know why. When I found out that I was Qin Sheng, it was already three years later."
Song Hesheng did not know what Qin Sheng had experienced in the past three years, and Song Ruyu had not had time to tell him.
Therefore, when he heard this answer, he was stunned and did not know what it meant. Then he looked at Song Ruyu.
Song Ruyu explained, "Brother, I will tell you later. Don't make things difficult for Qin Sheng today."
Song Hesheng shook his head and sighed helplessly. Just now, he had been very aggressive and wanted to ask why, but seeing his sister like this, he could not bear to do so.
Therefore, Song Hesheng could only smile bitterly and say, "Fine, fine, I won't ask why."
"However, Qin Sheng, you should know how Ruyu has been living in the past three years, so don't let her down. If I find out that you have wronged her, I will never let you go," Song Hesheng said immediately after that.
That's it?
Qin Sheng was very surprised. He did not expect that his brother-in-law would be so generous this time. He had been ready to be beaten, but Song Hesheng did not even scold him. Was this still the old Song Hesheng?
Moreover, it seemed that Song Hesheng had agreed to let him and Ruyu be together. Three years ago, Song Hesheng would rather die than agree to this marriage. He had even tried to obstruct them, causing both sides to shed all pretenses of cordiality and fight.
Was there any conspiracy?
However, no matter what, Qin Sheng should thank Song Hesheng. Everything he had done was for Song Ruyu.
Therefore, Qin Sheng said firmly, "Don't worry, you won't have a chance."
