Most people knew that it was easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality.
But in this life, climbing from the bottom to the top was as difficult as ascending to the heavens, but falling from the top to the dust was as easy as lifting one's hand. It was just that not everyone could bear the feeling of falling from the bottom, let alone Xu Xingwei, who had been pampered since he was young.
If they were the kind of people who started from scratch, rose to the top, and then fell back down, they were originally small characters. Even if they fell, they would have a higher starting point than before. As long as they could adjust their mentality, they would be able to start all over again.
However, Xu Xingwei couldn't. His starting point was the ending point of others. He had never experienced the hardships of the bottom. Now, as his family fell, his life was getting worse and worse, like the fallen leaves in autumn, getting more and more miserable and withering. Especially this kind of slow cutting of flesh with a knife was the most uncomfortable.
He couldn't go up, and he couldn't go down.
Those who used to be at the same level as him had abandoned him, not to mention those who mocked and ridiculed him. He couldn't get along with those who used to be inferior to him. He couldn't lower himself to be a bootlicker. Sometimes, dignity and face were more important than anything else. This was Xu Xingwei's situation.
Fortunately, he had two or three real friends. Otherwise, Xu Xingwei would really sigh about the fickleness of the world.
However, who could he blame for all this?
Xu Xingwei used to be insufferably arrogant and looked down on everyone.
The Xu family was too self-righteous. They thought that they could overthrow the Qin family and control the Chang 'an System by following the Sixth Uncle and finally enjoy the benefits.
Unfortunately, his table manners were too unsightly.
Although Qin Sheng wasn't clear about Xu Xingwei's situation, he could roughly guess it. Even Master Long was struggling at death's door, not to mention the Xu family.
Xu Xingwei, who used to be his rival, was now in such dire straits. Qin Sheng was not interested in Xu Xingwei at all. Xu Xingwei, who was arrogant and domineering in front of him, had disappeared. What Xu Xingwei feared most now was that Qin Sheng would take revenge on him, right?
However, at least for now, Qin Sheng didn't have time.
The next evening, Qin Sheng took Song Ruyu to the airport to pick up Uncle Lin, Auntie Wang, and Xin Xin. Uncle Lin and Auntie Wang still lived in Xi 'an. After all, they had lived in this place for so many years and no one was willing to leave easily. Moreover, old people preferred a familiar environment. However, Song Ruyu would go to Xi' an to visit them every once in a while, which was what Qin Sheng should do.
Song Ruyu did everything she could. Every week, she would call Lin Xi and Wang Li two or three times to take care of them. Sometimes, and sometimes she would take them to Beijing. After all, Xinxin was also in Beijing.
As for Xinxin, she chose to return to Shanghai to work after finishing her postgraduate studies at Tsinghua University. She didn't stay in Beijing or Xi 'an, which surprised many people. No one knew why Xinxin didn't want to stay in Beijing.
She had to spend. to be. Life. Two were were in Life in Beijing. she was. by. She didn't show. and Life. without a way. Back to her home, she had felt.
Besides, the Zhu Family and the Song Family were not easy to deal with.
Song Ruyu had found Xinxin's supervisor in person. She used to be the Vice President of the Student Union of Tsinghua University, so she was very familiar with those leaders and professors. Besides, those old professors liked her very much and were willing to help her. Besides, Song Ruyu had a powerful background and was now in a department with real power.
Song Ruyu often came to Tsinghua University to visit Xinxin. She often took her out for meals and shopping.
She made a lot of friends, so her life in Beijing was not too boring.
Apart from Song Ruyu, Qin Ran and Qin Jing also treated Xin Xin as their biological sister. Every weekend, they would take Xin Xin to their home and buy all kinds of food and clothes for her. Qin Ran was worried that Xin Xin might not be used to living on campus, so she renovated a house near Tsinghua University in advance and let Xin Xin live there.
As for Qin Jing, she and Xinxin were best friends. The two girls were about the same age, so they could play together. Qin Jing often stayed at Xinxin's place instead of going home.
Therefore, Xinxin had been very happy in Beijing during the past two years. She had integrated into Qin Sheng's life circle, except that Qin Sheng was not there.
However, no matter if it was Xinxin or others, they would not talk about Qin Sheng when they were together, so that they would not be sad.
Now Qin Sheng was finally back. When Xinxin heard the news, she flew from Shanghai to Xi 'an as soon as possible. Then she took her parents to Beijing to reunite with her brother.
At the domestic arrival gate of the Capital Airport, Qin Sheng held Song Ruyu's hand and waited quietly for Uncle Lin, Auntie Wang, and Xinxin to come out. Today, Song Ruyu was dressed very elegantly. She was really the kind of wife that everyone imagined, so many people turned their heads to look at her. However, all her thoughts were on the man beside her.
As for Qin Sheng, although he had disappeared for three years, he was happy that his family and friends were all fine.
Finally, Qin Sheng saw Uncle Lin, Auntie Wang and Xinxin walking out slowly. Uncle Lin and Auntie Wang walked in front, and Xinxin followed behind with her suitcase.
Although Uncle Lin and Auntie Wang were a little older than before, they seemed to be much more energetic than before. After all, they no longer lived like before. Now, they lived a leisurely life without so much pressure and worry.
What about Xinxin?
She had grown up, matured and became beautiful. Every child would become an adult. Xinxin was no longer a little girl who loved to cry. She had become a strong woman in a company of the world's top 500.
Qin Sheng walked quickly to the exit. At this time, Lin Xi, Wang Li and Xinxin also saw Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu behind.
When the family met again, no one said any sad words. They just hugged each other tightly.
There were smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes.
As long as they could reunite, that was enough.
Seeing this scene, Song Ruyu could not help but feel a little emotional.
On the way back to the Qin Family's West Mountain Villa, they sat in the same business car in order to chat more. They had a good time talking and laughing on the way.
Lin Xi, Wang Li and Xinxin did not mention what had happened in the past, nor did they ask Qin Sheng about what had happened in the past three years. They did not complain or reprimand Qin Sheng, as if the past three years had been erased.
Lin Xi and Wang Li already knew that Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu were going to get married. After all, they were Qin Sheng's adoptive parents. Whether it was the Qin Family or the Zhu Family, they would take the initiative to inform them and invite them to come early to prepare for the two children's weddings.
After all, Lin Xi and Wang Li had been looking forward to this day for many years. If they did not attend it in person, they would feel somewhat disappointed and regretful. After all, they had watched Qin Sheng grow up and raised him as their own son.
Qin Sheng sat in the front passenger seat. Lin Xi and Wang Li sat in the middle. Xinxin and Song Ruyu sat in the back. The two little sisters talked about their private topics. After all, they were very familiar with each other now.
Qin Sheng said half-jokingly, "Xinxin, I heard from your sister that you are a postgraduate in Tsinghua University.
At that time, the number of boys chasing after you will line up from the gate of Tsinghua University to the gate of Peking University. Do you have a crush? "
"Brother, why do you ask this as soon as you come back?" Xinxin complained.
Qin Sheng said with a smile, "I'm your brother. It's natural for me to care about you. Besides, you're not young anymore. It's time to think about marriage."
Xinxin directly said, "Brother, you'd better take care of yourself first. If you give birth to a little nephew or niece for me, I'll get married immediately. How about that?"
Qin Sheng really wanted to say, "I've already fulfilled your wish for you. Your little niece is already more than two years old."
But how dare he?
However, since Xinxin could ask this, it was obvious that she did not know about Yuan Yuan. After all, many people knew about it.
When they returned to the Qin Family's villa, Qin Changxing, Zhao Anzhi, Qin Ran, and Qin Jing were already waiting for them at the door. They had always been very respectful to Lin Xi and Wang Li. After all, they had raised Qin Sheng for so many years. It could be said that the Qin Family was greatly indebted to them.
As soon as they got out of the car, Qin Jing ran over to say hello to Lin Xi and Wang Li. Then she directly hugged Xinxin, who was behind them, and shouted, "Big girl, I missed you so much."
Xinxin said happily, "Erya, I missed you too. You stood me up last time. This time, I'll treat you to a big meal."
Qin Jing secretly kissed Xinxin and said happily, "Oh, I got it. I'll treat you to the best."
Because Qin Jing's nickname was Yaya, they called one Big Girl and the other Erya, which showed how close they were.
At this time, Qin Changxing and Zhao Anzhi had already greeted Lin Xi and Wang Li with a smile. Gongsun, who still stayed in Beijing, was also here today. He also greeted Lin Xi and Wang Li. This scene was really lively.
Everyone talked and laughed into the villa. At this moment, the dining room had already prepared a sumptuous dinner. They directly went to the dining room and sat down according to the host and guest.
To be honest, Qin Sheng had not been so lively for a long time. Everyone present was his family and friends, and they were also people who cared about him. How could he not be happy?
Qin Changxing and Zhao Anzhi naturally sat on the main seats. Except for Lin Xi and Wang Li who sat on the left, the others also sat casually. There were not so many rules.
Qin Changxing had prepared several bottles of Maotai and red wine. How could they not drink in such an atmosphere tonight?
Qin Changxing had abstained from drinking for many years in Mount Wutai. However, after returning to Beijing, he did not have so many taboos. When he saw his old friends, he would take the initiative to drink a few mouthfuls. Since he was already back, he did not care so much.
Moreover, as long as there was Buddha in the heart, there was Buddha everywhere.
Everyone filled their glasses. Qin Changxing stood up with a smile and said, "Today's scene is really rare. On behalf of the Qin Family, I thank Lao Lin and his wife for taking care of Qin Sheng for so many years. Welcome to Beijing again. Secondly, Qin Sheng finally came home safely. If he did not come back, I did not know how to face so many people. Finally, of course, the marriage of Qin Sheng and Ruyu. Today, we wish them a happy wedding in advance. I hope they can hold hands and grow old together. Cheers. "
The others looked at Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu at the same time and said their heartfelt blessings.
"Cheers."
Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu looked at each other and also raised their glasses and drank up.
To be honest, seeing such a scene, Qin Sheng was really touched.
In the future, he would definitely not be so impulsive. Since so many people cared about him, he could not let them worry.
