Let out a Breath of Resentment
(Second update, a new month. Please get a guaranteed monthly ticket. Thank you, everyone)
Qin Changan knew that Qin Ran was very capable. Not to mention her small circle, it was just a matter of time for her uncle to find out about these things with his power. Moreover, his uncle's husband was a big shot in Shanghai's political circle. Therefore, he definitely could not hide it from her. Otherwise, if she found out about it, the relationship between father and daughter, which had been eased with great difficulty, would become stiff again.
Qin Changan could not tell Qin Ran face to face. He was really afraid that his daughter would not save him face. Therefore, he could only let Gongsun, who knew the inside story, tell Qin Ran.
Qin Ran frowned at the beginning. From how Qin Sheng was bullied by Yan Chaozong to how he was in danger several times in a row, how he was framed by Yan Chaozong and the others, to how he almost died on Mount Jiuhua and recovered after being seriously injured for half a year, Qin Ran's tears instantly flowed out. She finally understood why she felt that her brother was so mature that night. She also felt that he was under a lot of pressure, as if he was very tired.
After experiencing these things, how could he not be like this?
In the end, Qin Ran, who clenched her fists and had tears all over her face, completely exploded. She shouted this sentence angrily. Obviously, she was questioning Qin Changan. He is your son. He is already like this. Don't you feel sorry for him? Do you have to wait for him to die before you do what a father should do?
Qin Ran had not been so sad for a long time. She could not understand what Qin Changan was thinking. She squatted on the ground and cried bitterly. She felt sorry for her brother more than anyone else. She felt sorry for her brother being bullied. She felt sorry for her brother being so seriously injured. She felt sorry for her brother who was so strong. She felt sorry for her brother who was still smiling and looking forward.
But the more her brother behaved like this, the more she felt sorry for him.
"Mom!" Qin Ran cried pitifully while hugging her head. She hadn't cried so sadly for a long time. Even when she saw her younger brother after so many years, she only smiled and cried because that was happiness. But now, she was really heartbroken.
Gongsun was somewhat at a loss. He did not know what to do. Qin Ran's calling of "mom" made him completely lose his sense of propriety. He felt sorry for Qin Ran the most. He knew how painful it was for her to call this.
Gongsun could not help but blame Qin Changan in his heart. "You insisted that I tell her. Why should I tell her? I should hide it from her as long as I can. What should I do now?"
"Ran Ran, don't cry. I know you care about Qin Sheng, but your father has his own difficulties. Besides, it's not like your father didn't help Qin Sheng vent his anger." Gongsun squatted on the ground and patted Qin Ran's back to comfort her.
Qin Ran cried like a child who would never grow up. If her mother knew that her brother had suffered so much, she would feel so sad. She said with grievance, "I miss my mother. My mother will definitely protect me and my brother. Boohoo."
These words made Gongsun feel even worse. He really didn't know what to do. He could only shout into the room, "Master, are you going to do something? What should we do?"
In the study room, Qin Changan lit a cigarette. He had not tasted the smell of cigarettes for a long time. He sighed helplessly. In the end, he did not say anything or come out. He just let Qin Ran cry outside. As a father, how could he not be distressed? However, there were some things that he had to be so cruel.
After a long time, Gongsun finally comforted Qin Ran and stopped crying. He was really thankful. If she continued to cry, he really didn't know what to do.
"Qin Changan, if you don't care about him, I will go to Grandma and Uncle." Qin Ran, who was stubborn, stood up and wiped away her tears. She directly said this and prepared to leave the siheyuan.
Gongsun was scared out of his wits. If Qin Ran really went to the Zhu Family, it would be a big deal. At that time, he didn't know how to end it. Qin Changan's good intentions would also be in vain.
Consequently, Gongsun directly pulled Qin Ran and said, "Ran Ran, stop fooling around. Calm down, calm down. Listen to what I have to say and then you can make a decision, okay?"
"What else is there to say?" Qin Ran said with grievance.
Gongsun said earnestly, "It's not what you think. You don't know what happened later. It's not that your father didn't do anything. During this period, the Yan Family, the Lin Family, and the Ye Family were not living well. This was all done by your father. Do you know why your father didn't stand out directly? It's not because your father didn't reconcile with Qin Sheng, but because he couldn't do so."
"Why?" Qin Ran was a little confused.
Gongsun said firmly, "Because this is Qin Sheng's grudge, not your father's. It must be handled by Qin Sheng. If one day you reconcile with each other, Qin Sheng will take the initiative to ask your father for help. At that time, your father can only stand out. Do you understand?"
Hearing this, Qin Ran finally calmed down and could not help but fall into deep thought.
"There are men's rules in the world of men. You have to think from Qin Sheng's point of view, not on your side," Gongsun continued.
Qin Ran did not say anything. She pondered over Gongsun's words. After a long time, she understood. She wiped away her tears and said, "I know, but I won't let him live so well."
After saying this, Qin Ran directly drove away from the siheyuan. Gongsun was a little helpless. He really didn't know what trouble Qin Ran would cause. At this time, Qin Changan finally came out.
Gongsun hurriedly ran over and said, "Master, why do you have to do this? What should we do now?"
Qin Changan said thoughtfully, "Let her go. She will have a sense of propriety. To say the least, no matter how big a disturbance she causes, I will stand behind her. I will never let her get hurt. As long as she can vent out her anger, it will be fine."
This was what a father should do …
In the early morning, when Qin Changan and Gongsun just came back from the alley, the Eldest Master of the Chen Family mentioned by Gongsun came to visit. As long as Qin Changan lived in the siheyuan, he would take a stroll in the alley most of the time. He still liked the atmosphere of old Beijing. The neighbors were walking around. However, there were many big shots living in this alley, so he could only walk a little farther. The advantage was that he did not have to worry about the security environment at all.
The housekeeper had already made tea. Qin Changan walked into the living room and said with a smile, "What brings you here, Lao Chen? How have you been?"
"You are so busy. When will you think of me? If I don't come today, I don't know when I will see you again." Chen Luohe, the Eldest Master of the Chen Family, said disapprovingly. His driver and bodyguards were arranged to stay in the side room.
Chen Luohe's face was thin and angular. His eyebrows were very thick, and his eyes were shining. It seemed that he was not an ordinary person. He was holding a pair of high-quality walnuts in his hands. They were Lion Head Walnuts produced in the fourth building, which were the most valuable among the walnuts. Of course, the Eldest Master of the Chen Family was not short of money.
Although the Qin Family and the Chen Family had a deep relationship, and the Old Master of the Chen Family and the Old Master of the Qin Family were also close friends, the juniors of the Chen Family seldom talked to each other. After all, the relationship between the fathers and the juniors was the relationship between the fathers and the juniors.
Qin Changan chuckled and said, "No matter how busy I am, I can't be as busy as you."
Chen Luohe shook his head and sighed bitterly. "Let's not flatter each other and be modest. There is a huge gap between our levels. If I say these things in front of you, I will be humiliated."
"You are flattering me." Qin Changan picked up the teacup and said politely, "Old Chen, what brings you here today?"
Chen Luohe smiled and said, "You don't come here for nothing. I definitely have something to tell you. But it's not about me. It's about the Qin Family."
Qin Changan asked with interest, "What's the matter that you need me to come here in person?"
"Old Qin, other people might not know about the Qin family, but how could our Chen family not know about it? Back then, Old Master Qin took away our grandson, and our Chen family knows it better than anyone else. Today, we came to find you because of your son," said Chen Luohe slowly.
Qin Changan's expression changed slightly. "What do you mean?"
Chen Luohe smiled and explained, "Two days ago, a friend of the Old Master in Hangzhou asked about his whereabouts. I asked him a few more questions. It seemed to be about the descendants of the Qin Family. Since they came to the Chen Family to talk about the descendants of the Qin Family, it must be about the Qin Family. I could only think of your son. That's why I came here to inform you."
Qin Changan said thoughtfully, "Really?"
"Why would I lie to you? As for the details, the friend of the Old Master didn't tell me. He said that he could only tell me after seeing the Old Master. I don't know where the Old Master is at all. So I thought that if you went there, he might tell you." Chen Luohe told Qin Changan the truth. Obviously, he had a selfish reason to tell Qin Changan. If Qin Changan really found his son, he would obviously remember this favor. He and Qin Changan were not at the same level at all. He needed Qin Changan for many things. This favor might be a coveted benefit.
Qin Changan did not expect that Chen Luohe had already known about Qin Sheng's matter. At present, he had been keeping this matter under control. If Chen Luohe really knew about it, it would be a little troublesome. At least he did not want this news to be leaked now. Otherwise, it would be a little troublesome.
So Qin Changan made a prompt decision and said, "Old Chen, may I know the name of your friend?"
"Liu Xinghai, a famous man in Hangzhou. Of course you can find out," Chen Luohe said with a smile.
Qin Changan nodded quietly and said, "Old Chen, thank you."
"There is no need for such polite words between our two families. Okay, since I have told you everything, I will not disturb you, busy person. I will leave first." Chen Luohe said satisfactorily. He had done what he should do and was only waiting for the return.
Qin Changan replied, "Then I will not keep you. Gongsun, send Old Chen off for me …"
"Grandpa Chen, please," Gongsun said respectfully.
After Gongsun sent Chen Luohe off and came back, Qin Changan directly ordered, "Go to Hangzhou."
First, Qin Changan went to Hangzhou to find out the ins and outs of this matter. Then he would destroy the source of the news. He must not let others know. Second, he wanted to see Qin Sheng, which was also a kind of compensation to Qin Sheng.
