Something was up …
(Looking for monthly tickets, looking for collection)
Compared to Huarun Nine Mile Bund, Green City Huangpu Bay was more magnificent and beautiful. Presumably, this mansion on the Bund facing Pudong was also worth a lot of money. Qin Sheng could not help but wonder when he would be able to have his own kennel. This was not the first time he had thought about it.
After buying some fruits, Qin Sheng waited at the entrance of the residential area. The security seemed to be very strict. After a while, Xue Hao ran out and said, "I thought you wouldn't dare to come."
"It's not the 18th level of hell, what's there to be afraid of? Unless your aunt is a tomboy version of Hannibal?" Qin Sheng threw the fruits to Xue Hao and said.
Xue Hao followed behind Qin Sheng. Now, in his eyes, Qin Sheng was like an otherworldly master hidden in the streets in novels. Especially when he fought against the heroes in the KTV last time, he felt that Qin Sheng's momentum was similar to Zhao Zilong's in Changban. After that, he helped him deal with the big trouble, so that he could not only sleep peacefully in school, but also made the goddess look at him in a different light.
This was Ms. Cheongsam's new home. She owned a few properties in Shanghai and was currently living in Green City's Huangpu Bay. Xue Hao entered the house with the key in his hand. Ms. Cheongsam was cooking in the kitchen. After changing his shoes, Qin Sheng sized up Ms. Cheongsam's mansion. He wondered how many men in the world were treated like him.
"Aunt, we're back!" Xue Hao placed the fruits on the table and shouted to the kitchen.
Ms. Cheongsam came out of the kitchen with a spatula in her hand. Today, Ms. Cheongsam only wore a gray short-sleeved shirt and yoga pants. Her hair was coiled up and she wore an apron. To Qin Sheng, this was a different kind of feeling.
No matter how much "Miss Xue" criticized Ms. Cheongsam in his heart, Qin Sheng still had to be respectful on the surface, lest Ms. Cheongsam bully him in Shangshan Ruoshui in the future. This was not something that Wang Haichao and Yu Fengzhi could compare to.
"Qin Sheng, you're here. Sit in the living room with Hao and watch TV, I'll be ready soon." Xue Qingyan wiped the sweat off her forehead and smiled.
Qin Sheng smiled politely, "Miss Xue, do you need my help?"
"You can cook?" Xue Qingyan was doubtful, but in today's society, there were many men who could cook and Xue Qingyan had seen many of them.
Qin Sheng said modestly, "The children of the poor take charge of the household early. They have to support themselves, right?"
Xue Qingyan glared at Qin Sheng and walked into the kitchen. "Alright, stop talking nonsense. Go and watch TV. Dinner will be ready soon."
Qin Sheng and Xue Hao sat in the living room. After a while, Xue Qingyan washed some fruits and brought them out. "You must be hungry. Have some fruits first."
"Thank you, Miss Xue." Qin Sheng quickly stood up and took it.
"This is not Shangshan Ruoshui. You don't have to call me Miss Xue. I'm older than you. Just call me Sister Xue."
"Uh …" Qin Sheng could only reply, "OK, Sister Xue."
"That's more like it. Let's watch TV."
Xue Hao picked up a movie with the remote control. Qin Sheng sized up Ms. Cheongsam's boudoir. It had three bedrooms and two living rooms. The minimalist American style matched Ms. Cheongsam's temperament.
"My aunt is pretty good, isn't she? She's good in both the living room and the kitchen. If you get a daughter-in-law like her, your ancestors will be blessed," Xue Hao said proudly. He knew that his aunt had a lot of suitors, but it was a pity that she was not interested in any of them. His grandfather was very anxious about this. Xue Hao's aunt had a lot of admirers.
Qin Sheng picked up an apple and started eating. He glanced at Ms. Cheongsam's back and asked curiously, "What does your aunt do for a living?"
"Take a guess." Xue Hao deliberately kept Qin Sheng in suspense.
Qin Sheng cursed in a low voice, "F * ck you. Ultraman vs. Zhang Sanfeng."
"Hahahaha." Xue Hao was amused by Qin Sheng's scolding. He then explained, "My aunt is the general manager of an investment company. They have two listed companies. What do you think? Is she good enough for you?"
"Good enough for me? Are you out of your mind? I don't have a car or a house. I'm just a loser. How dare you ask me if your aunt is good enough for me? Are you sure you're not here to humiliate me? "Qin Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Xue Hao acted like an experienced person and said, "Vulgar. You're so vulgar. Is my aunt the kind of woman who looks at her family background? If she was, she would have been married a long time ago. There are many men who are richer, more capable, and more powerful than you. My aunt likes a man's character. If she likes a man, she would not look down on you even if you were a beggar by the roadside. "
"That's easy for you to say." Qin Sheng could not be bothered to talk nonsense with a little kid. It was as if whatever he said, his aunt would be whatever he said. Qin Sheng knew his place.
After chatting with Xue Hao for a while, Xue Qingyan took off her apron and came out of the kitchen to tell Xue Hao that dinner was ready. Qin Sheng quickly ran into the kitchen to help, only to find out that Ms. Cheongsam was not making Chinese food. Instead, it was Western food. There were steak, pasta, salad, and so on. Qin Sheng only wanted to ask if these things could fill him up.
"I like to eat simple at night. Chinese food is too greasy, so I made some Western food. Are you used to it?" Xue Qingyan asked casually.
What else could Qin Sheng say? He could only say, "I'm used to it. I'm not picky about what I eat, as long as it's edible."
"It seems that you don't trust my cooking skills," Xue Qingyan said half-jokingly.
Qin Sheng knew that he had said something wrong. He said awkwardly, "No, no."
"Did you drive?" Xue Qingyan asked.
"No!"
"Can you drink?" Xue Qingyan continued to ask.
Qin Sheng hesitated for a while, not knowing what Ms. Cheongsam meant. In the end, he nodded and said, "As long as you don't make me drunk, I can still drink a little."
"Then drink some." Xue Qingyan got up and went to the wine cabinet to take a bottle of 2005 White Horse. She liked red wine more. She was familiar with the series of major regions. When she had nothing to do, she would drink by herself.
Xue Qingyan only drank half a bottle of red wine and stopped drinking. After all, she had only met Qin Sheng a few times. It was impossible for her to drink more with him.
"Auntie, I want to drink too." Xue Hao did not drink, but he always felt that it was not manly for him to drink.
Xue Qingyan stared at Xue Hao and said, "Of all the things a kid should learn, he should learn how to drink. Don't drink."
"Auntie, I'm not young anymore. Just one glass," Xue Hao begged.
Xue Qingyan helplessly poured him a glass. Boys would become men sooner or later. A man who did not drink would be in vain.
"Qin Sheng, first of all, thank you for your help last time. If you had not arrived in time, Xue Hao might have been in trouble that night. Secondly, I would like to formally apologize to you. I was a little impulsive that night. I hope you don't mind." Xue Qingyan did not have any makeup on today, except for her lipstick. When she was at home, she basically did not have any makeup on.
Her words made Qin Sheng feel a little embarrassed. He raised his glass and smiled. "Sister Xue, you're too polite. This is just my job. You don't have to do this. If you need anything in the future, you can tell me directly."
"You don't have to do this. There are no outsiders here. If you continue to be so polite, I won't cook for you next time." Xue Qingyan stared at Qin Sheng and shook the red wine glass in her hand.
Qin Sheng felt that Ms. Cheongsam was acting strange today. Logically speaking, there was no need for a big shot like her to be so polite to him. Could it be that she had found out about his relationship with Jiang Xianbang? That should not be the case. Even so, there was no need for her to be so polite. Qin Sheng could not figure it out.
"Alright, I'll listen to you. But I also want to say that you don't have to be so polite with me." Qin Sheng took a deep breath and said calmly.
"That's more like it. Come," Xue Qingyan smiled and raised her glass. She clinked glasses with Qin Sheng and Xue Hao. She raised her head slightly and took a sip, leaving a bright red lipstick mark on the glass. When the red lips separated from the glass, Qin Sheng's eyes were attracted. He felt that there were many times when women were extremely seductive and sexy. They did not need to be naked. All they needed was a casual action, like this moment.
Xue Hao, who was watching from the side, saw Qin Sheng's silly look and quickly gave him a kick. What an embarrassment. How dare you say that you are not interested in my aunt. Look at you, you're almost drooling.
Only then did Qin Sheng come back to his senses. Ms. Cheongsam did not notice that he had lost his composure.
"Qin Sheng, Hao said that he admires you very much. You graduated from Fudan University and are so good at fighting," Xue Qingyan said thoughtfully. "There are some things that I don't know if I should ask."
"Sister Xue, you said it yourself. You don't have to be so polite," Qin Sheng laughed.
"Let's eat first. We can talk while eating," Xue Qingyan waved her hand. She took a bite of the salad and then asked, "You are a top student from Fudan University. From the time I met you until now, I realized that you are not stupid. On the contrary, you are very smart. Why are you working in Shangshan Ruoshui? If you have something that is difficult to say, just pretend that I didn't ask. "
Qin Sheng put down the fork in his hand and smiled. "It's nothing difficult to say. It's just a choice. After I graduated from Fudan University, I did not go to work directly. Instead, I traveled for two years and only returned to Shanghai last month. Firstly, I was short of money. Secondly, I wanted to find a job and reintegrate into the city. That's why I went to Shangshan Ruoshui."
Qin Sheng's explanation was half true and half false.
"Oh, I see. No wonder." This explanation was reasonable. Xue Qingyan did not think that he was lying to her. She then continued to ask, "Where are you from?"
"I'm from Xi 'an." Qin Sheng smiled bitterly.
Xue Qingyan felt that Qin Sheng's smile was a little bitter. She did not know what was going on. She asked again, "How are your parents? Do you have any other siblings?"
Xue Qingyan was a little like a household check. However, she had to find out who the strangers around Xue Hao were. After all, Xue Hao's identity was special. She would ask Qin Sheng first and then send someone to investigate Qin Sheng. Only then would she know if Qin Sheng was lying.
"I was an orphan. I have no parents. I have five siblings. They were raised by my grandfather. He passed away two years ago," Qin Sheng said honestly.
This answer surprised Xue Qingyan. She did not expect Qin Sheng to have such a miserable life. Xue Hao was also stunned. This …
"Sorry, I didn't mean anything," Xue Qingyan said awkwardly.
Qin Sheng shook his head. "It's okay. I'm used to it after so many years."
At this time, the quick-witted Xue Hao suddenly got up and said that he had a stomachache and needed to go to the bathroom. He ran away after saying that. He felt that the atmosphere was more suitable for his aunt and Qin Sheng to get to know each other better. After all, most women had innate maternal love.
Xue Hao's sudden departure gave Xue Qingyan, who had wanted to talk to Qin Sheng after dinner, an opportunity to do so. She said slowly, "Qin Sheng, the reason why I invited you over for dinner is because I need your help with something else."
