Now?
Gongsun, the butler, called the hotel to arrange a private room. Qin Ran took Qin Sheng to the hotel's Chinese restaurant and did not let anyone follow them. Firstly, she was afraid that Qin Sheng would feel uncomfortable. Secondly, she wanted to be alone with Qin Sheng, otherwise, their relationship would not improve.
Handsome men and beautiful women were always the focus of any place. When Qin Sheng and Qin Ran appeared in the Chinese restaurant, they did attract countless people's attention. Qin Ran was a good-looking and elegant beauty. Even if her brother was ugly, he would not be that ugly. After all, his family genes were there. Moreover, Qin Sheng was not ugly, but he was not particularly handsome. He just had a unique charm, which was an advantage that men of the same age did not have.
It was too depressing in the private room. Besides, Qin Sheng was afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward when he was alone with Qin Ran. He was even more afraid that there would be awkward silence. Finally, he chose a seat by the window. There was no one else around, except for their table. Outside the window was the night view of Tsingtao. They could see the bright lights of the city and the stars of the Olympic Sailing Center in the distance, which made Qin Sheng feel more or less comfortable.
"What do you want to eat?" After they sat down, Qin Ran put her coat and bag on the chair next to her, took the menu from the waiter, and asked with a smile.
Qin Sheng grew up in Xi 'an, of course, his favorite food was noodles. He did not stand on ceremony, because he was indeed a little hungry. After all, he had not eaten since last night. So he replied, "It would be best if there are noodles. If not, there should be steamed buns."
The waiter did not know whether to laugh or cry when he ordered dishes in the Chinese restaurant of a five-star hotel. However, he was a waiter of a five-star hotel after all, and he still had this kind of quality. Moreover, he could tell that these two were either rich or noble, so he still kept smiling.
Qin Ran did not say anything. She liked Qin Sheng to be honest in front of her, so she ordered a bowl of noodles for him. However, she thought that it would not be so authentic. Then she ordered four dishes and a bowl of rice.
"Do you have a lot of things to ask?" Qin Ran stared at Qin Sheng and said with a smile. Since she returned to the hotel, she had been smiling. She had not been so happy for many years.
Qin Sheng nodded and looked a little serious.
Qin Ran continued, "What do you want to ask? Just ask. As long as I know, I will definitely tell you."
Qin Sheng said bluntly, "Ever since I could remember, the only relative I had was my grandfather. Since I was young, my grandfather and I depended on each other. Later, we had foster parents. Now it has been more than 20 years. So when you suddenly appeared and told me that you were my sister and that I had parents, I didn't quite believe it."
This question was expected, so Ran said with a smile. "I knew you would ask this question. I have also thought about it." I have a, "Qin said. This is also why I met you in Xiamen and Hangzhou previously. It's just that I wanted to get to know you first and then tell you the truth. But later, I felt that no matter how I told you, it would be hard for you to accept it in a short period of time. That's why we met like this today. "
After saying that, she took out her wallet from the bag beside her and took out the photo that she had treasured for many years. She slowly handed it to Qin Sheng and said, "This was taken when you were young, before you left Beijing. Grandpa took us to the Forbidden City. You definitely don't remember it, but you must know the little boy in the photo. I will tell you a lot about my childhood and show you a lot of photos. If you still don't believe me, you should believe in science. Nowadays, DNA testing technology is very advanced. "
Qin Sheng took the photo in doubt. This was a yellowed color photo. The background was the square in front of the Hall of Supreme Harmony in the Forbidden City. The sun was shining brightly and there were no clouds in the sky. A seven or eight-year-old girl was holding the hand of a three-year-old boy. The girl's face was red. She looked a little shy in front of the camera. The innocent little boy was not restrained at all. He showed his white teeth and smiled brightly.
"This is me?" Qin Sheng asked to himself naturally. The photos of him when he was young were taken after he came to Xi 'an. The age difference between him and this good photo was three or four years. Children grew up faster, so there was still some gap. But the outline could still be distinguished, so Qin Sheng was a little surprised.
Qin Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You can deny it."
Just as Qin Sheng was in a daze, Qin Ran reached out to hold his arm. Under Qin Sheng's astonished gaze, she took off the old Shanghai watch on his wrist, which had been worn for god knows how many years.
Qin Ran looked at the watch and said, "Do you know the story of this watch?"
Qin Sheng said thoughtfully, "I just heard from Grandpa that this is the only gift my mother left for me. So I always wear it."
"Well, this watch was indeed left for you by my mother. But this watch was originally Grandpa's, and this watch is a little special. No one can buy it even if they have money. This is a custom-made watch made by the Shanghai Watchmaking Factory for high-level officials and above. Later, Grandpa gave it to my mother, and my mother left it to you. No one else has this honor. "Qin Ran said slowly. She knew everything that Qin Sheng did not know.
The information revealed in this sentence shocked Qin Sheng a little. First of all, he confirmed the origin of this watch. He had already begun to believe that Qin Ran was his sister. He began to look forward to the woman who had left him the only gift, which was his biological mother. Secondly, the story of this watch. It was a custom-made watch for high-level officials, so his grandfather was at least a high-level official, or even higher. His mother's identity was naturally a member of the red faction. As for what she did, it was unclear. What about his father? Thinking of the speculations about the Qin family today, Qin Sheng became more and more curious about his real identity.
Qin Sheng slowly digested this information. It was really shocking to him. But he still had questions, so he continued, "I want to know why I was taken away by Grandpa. Or is this Grandpa not my biological Grandpa, but someone else that I have never known? "
Qin Sheng's question made Qin Ran a little happy, because Qin Sheng seemed to have begun to accept his new identity. This was a good start.
She explained slowly, "You don't have to doubt this. This Grandpa who has been with you for more than 20 years is not only your Grandpa, but also my Grandpa. It's just that in my memory, I don't have much of an impression of Grandpa, because at that time, he was not in Beijing most of the time. Even my parents rarely saw him. Similarly, I more or less hate him, because he took you away and caused me to be separated from you and your brother for more than 20 years. "
Qin Sheng let out a long sigh and was completely relieved. This was because the thing that he was most worried about did not happen. This Grandpa who had been with him for more than 20 years was his biological Grandpa. After all, in terms of feelings, of course, he was closest to his Grandpa. If this Grandpa was not his biological Grandpa, as he thought, it might be really difficult for Qin Sheng to accept it, and he would not be able to recover in a short time.
Qin Ran said honestly, "As for why Grandpa took you away, I still don't know until now. If you want to know, you can ask our Dad when we go back to Beijing." She really did not understand what had happened in the past. She had asked Qin Changan many times, but Qin Changan's answer was always vague.
This answer made Qin Sheng somewhat surprised. He stared at Qin Ran for a while and did not continue to ask.
Qin Ran asked with a smile, "Do you have any more questions?"
Of course, Qin Sheng had a lot of questions. How could it end like this? He continued to ask, "When did you know that I am your brother?"
Qin Ran said calmly, "I only found out when you were in Xiamen. That's why I went to Xiamen to look for you."
Qin Sheng frowned and said, "Then why did you know the truth and reconcile with me at that time?"
Qin Ran sighed. She knew that Qin Sheng would definitely ask, but she had already thought of a solution. Since it was Qin Changan's arrangement, she would push everything to him and let him explain to Qin Sheng. Hence, Qin Ran replied, "Because our Dad did not allow me to reconcile with him. He said that he had other arrangements. That's why we did not reconcile until today."
This answer did not satisfy Qin Sheng, because he had sorted out the logic of what had happened before and after. Hence, he said, "No, we met once in Yuerong Manor in Shanghai."
"Did we? Why didn't I know? " Qin Ran said in surprise. After thinking for a long time, she really could not remember meeting Qin Sheng in Shanghai. Hence, she frowned and said, "I only found out that you are my brother when you were in Xiamen. So if we really met before, I definitely did not know who you are."
This explanation seemed to make sense. Qin Sheng nodded silently. That time was just a passing, maybe Qin Ran really did not remember.
Qin Sheng shook his head and frowned as he said, "It's still not right. You said that you only found out my identity in Xiamen, but Zhuang Zhou saved my life in Mount Jiuhua. If not for him, I would have died in Mount Jiuhua. How do you explain this? Everything can't be so coincidental. How could he appear in Mount Jiuhua? Obviously, when I was in Shanghai, he knew my identity. That's why he secretly watched me and only appeared in Mount Jiuhua, "Qin Sheng said, shaking his head and frowning.
Qin Ran really admired this brother of hers. Obviously, he had sorted out everything. It was too difficult to fool him. She could only say, "I can only say that when I knew your identity, it was when you were recuperating in Xiamen. As for when Uncle Zhuang found out and how he saved you, I really have no idea. You may have to ask him when you go back to Beijing."
"Okay, I have another question." Qin Sheng did not expect that Qin Ran did not know about this. He did not know whether it was true or not. But since Qin Ran had already said that his father in Beijing, whom he had never met before, knew, he could ask him directly. There was no need to go through so much trouble.
"Go ahead," Qin Ran said calmly.
"How did you know I was in Tsingtao? How did you know about me and the Song Family? "Qin Sheng's questions were very straightforward. He did not need to hide.
Qin Ran laughed and said, "This question is relatively easy to answer. Because the identity you used was made for you by Uncle Zhuang. As long as we use the system to check, we will know where you are. So it is very easy to find you."
Qin Ran did not dare to say that Zhuang Zhou and Nangong had been secretly protecting Qin Sheng. This was because Qin Sheng had experienced too much during this period and suffered too many setbacks. Moreover, his friend had died because of him.
If Qin Sheng knew the truth, he would obviously be angry. So before she met Qin Sheng, she, Gongsun, and Zhuang Zhou had discussed countermeasures. They had to know what could be said and what could not be said.
Qin Sheng did not say anything. This explanation was indeed very simple. Now it was the age of the Internet with advanced technology. Everything needed an identity. As long as he used the system, he could indeed know his location.
Seeing that Qin Sheng was deep in thought, Qin Ran asked casually, "Is there any problem?"
Qin Sheng shook his head. Qin Ran knew too little. Only her father knew everything. Consequently, Qin Sheng could not wait to figure out the ins and outs of everything. He did not like the feeling of being played by others. Consequently, he said without hesitation, "Let's go to Beijing."
When Qin Ran heard these three words, she was directly stunned. After a long time, she opened her mouth and said, "Now?"
