What a Pity
Song Ruyu asked for leave to come to Shanghai that day. She was supposed to go back the next day, but the leader knew that she was in Shanghai, so he arranged for her to deal with something. Since her company had a lot of cooperation in Shanghai, Song Ruyu stayed in Shanghai for a few more days.
Song Ruyu would go back to Beijing the next day. She hadn't contacted Qin Sheng recently. She heard that the old lady had been discharged from the hospital, so she decided to visit the old lady before she left.
Perhaps no one had expected such a scene to happen, whether it was the old lady, Zhu Qingwen, Qin Ran, or Song Hesheng. He didn't stop Song Ruyu from coming to Shanghai because he wanted her to meet Lin Su. In this way, Song Ruyu wouldn't want to marry Qin Sheng. However, Song Ruyu didn't see Lin Su these days. He didn't expect to see her at the old lady's place before she left.
Song Hesheng knew what Song Ruyu was thinking. She didn't like Qin Sheng very much. She just wanted to fulfill the promise in his grandfather's heart, which was also a sore point in his grandfather's heart.
His grandfather always thought that the Song family owed the Qin family. Therefore, when Qin Changan started his business, Old Master Song helped him a lot. However, the Qin family gradually deviated from the Song family, so Old Master Song kept a distance from them.
However, this didn't affect the relationship between the two families. Therefore, Old Master Song made the marriage between Song Hesheng and Qin Ran. However, the two young people didn't like each other, so Old Master Song didn't say anything.
In the end, there was only the seemingly joking marriage between the two old masters. Song Ruyu knew clearly that it was a promise that her grandfather couldn't let go of. Therefore, after knowing that Qin Sheng was back, Old Master Song took the initiative to make the marriage happen.
However, Old Master Song wasn't too anxious. He just wanted the two young people to get along with each other slowly. When the time was right, he would make the decision directly.
Based on the influence of the Song Family, be it Qin Changan or Qin Sheng, they would definitely not reject this marriage. Everyone knew that marrying the granddaughter of the Song Family would be a big gain. Moreover, this precious granddaughter of his was originally very outstanding. This was a well-known fact. There were more than one or two families in Sijiu City who wanted to form a connection through marriage. There were also too many families who wanted to pursue or had pursued his precious granddaughter.
Therefore, Old Master Song didn't think it was a problem.
Grandfather Song also had other considerations. His precious granddaughter had reached the age of marriage, but she didn't seem anxious at all. Although she had a lot of friends of the opposite sex, they didn't have romantic feelings for each other. It was as if she hadn't considered marriage at all. He didn't know what she was thinking.
In the old foreign-style house of the Zhu family on Sinan Road, Shanghai was a bit stuffy after the rain. The old lady was weak and did not dare to blow in the air conditioner, so Zhu Qingwen bought several electric fans and put them in the living room and the old lady's bedroom.
In fact, there were only a few people in the Zhu family today. Except for the medical staff and the nanny, only the old lady, Wu Yajun, and Zhu Qingwen came over. No one else came to disturb the old lady. They all knew that the old lady still needed to rest during this period.
Wu Yajun had been in Shanghai for a while. Old Master Song had been discharged from the hospital and was ready to go back to Beijing. Wu Yajun had been working very hard during this period. She accompanied the Zhu family's old lady almost 24 hours a day. As the only daughter-in-law of the Zhu family, she had been very competent. The Zhu family was quite satisfied with her.
Song Ruyu sat next to the Zhu family and chatted with the Zhu family. Zhu Qingwen and Wu Yajun sat opposite them, watching them chatting with a smile, peeling fruits and pouring tea for them. They appreciated the Song family's granddaughter very much. After all, she was so excellent that many of her papers had been included in the internal reference list. Some big shots praised her for being as outstanding as a man.
It was said that her teacher intended to train her. Now, she was the actual person in charge of a department, but she kept a low profile.
Apart from the actual salary, she didn't even mention the specific position. If she hadn't politely refused, her teacher might have asked her to go directly to the local government to become an official.
Song Ruyu had only one reason at that time. She only wanted to do theoretical research quietly in the next ten years. She didn't want to be disturbed by other things, especially if she wanted to work in a local government or a ministry.
Although it was theoretical research, Song Ruyu had traveled to many places in the country in the past few years to combine theory with concrete practice. For example, last year, in order to complete a paper on how to accurately help the poor in different areas and how to avoid certain practical problems, she had spent almost half a year doing research outside.
From the slums in the eastern coastal cities to the ordinary villages in the less developed cities in the central regions, and finally to the remote mountainous areas in the western poor provinces and cities, her courage and patience were enough to make people give her a thumbs-up.
In the end, this thesis was directly sent to the desks of several key leaders by her teacher. Then, it was signed and distributed to the various provinces and cities for discussion. One of the leaders directly called Old Master Song and said, "Old Master Song, your granddaughter is amazing."
Old Master Song was so happy that he talked about it with everyone he met for several days. However, he was already used to it, because his granddaughter's growth had always been accompanied by all kinds of honors. What was rare and precious was that she had always been down-to-earth and had never been proud or confused about it.
Everyone was very clear that Song Ruyu, who was less than 30 years old, was still very young and had a bright future.
Therefore, many people thought highly of the Song Family. Old Master Song was really well-prepared. Now everyone was looking forward to seeing who would go further in the future, Song Hesheng or Song Ruyu.
Because Song Ruyu was so outstanding, both Qin Changan and Qin Ran wanted Qin Sheng to have more contact with Song Ruyu. In this way, Qin Sheng might have a chance to make a choice. They sincerely believed that no matter how outstanding Lin Su was, she couldn't be compared with Song Ruyu.
Otherwise, based on their understanding of Qin Sheng's temperament and their love for him, how could he do such a thing? Because it was very likely that Qin Sheng, who had just come back, would be particularly disgusted. If that happened, he might even directly leave the Qin Family.
After all, Lin Su had gone through thick and thin with Qin Sheng all the way to where he was today. If Qin Sheng abandoned Lin Su, he would really be worse than an animal.
Therefore, not only the Qin Family, but also the Zhu Family thought so. When Qin Sheng came back, they thought about it. Later, Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu became more frequent, so they were more expectant about it. Moreover, the Song Family and the Qin Family had been friends for generations. The pavilion closest to the water enjoys moonlight first.
However, compared with the Qin Family, the Zhu Family was more rational. Qin Sheng's choice was the most important. No matter what choice he made, they would absolutely support him and would never force him to do anything.
This was also the reason why Zhu Qingwen treated Lin Su more seriously than his own daughter after they met. Because Lin Su was Qin Sheng's girlfriend, he had to treat Lin Su well so that Lin Su would treat Qin Sheng better.
Today, no one in the Zhu Family expected that Song Ruyu would suddenly come to visit the old lady in Shanghai. Therefore, they could not control how things would develop. Now that Qin Sheng was about to arrive, they could not possibly see him off, could they?
Thinking about it carefully, maybe it was also a good thing. They would not think so much in the future. Taking a step back, Song Ruyu was so excellent that she might not like Qin Sheng. It was just their wishful thinking.
"Ruyu, you've been to Shanghai a lot recently. Are you busy with work?" The old lady was very concerned and handed Song Ruyu an orange at the same time.
Song Ruyu was probably the perfect daughter-in-law in the eyes of all the elders. She was even prettier than celebrities. She also had the temperament to back her up.
Not to mention the temperament of obsession, she was capable and had a strong family background. The Song Family's background was not small.
Therefore, whether it was the Qin Family or the Zhu Family, it was reasonable for these people to think so. Perhaps the elders of the big families in Sijiu City also thought so.
Song Ruyu felt a little guilty this time. She came to Shanghai for Qin Sheng. Although she also had a job, she could not say that she came for Qin Sheng. She had to nod and said, "Yes, Grandma. We have a project cooperation with the Institute of International Studies of Fudan University and a project with the municipal government. Therefore, we have been to Shanghai a lot recently."
Zhu Qingwen, who might know more about this, said with a smile, "Mom, maybe you don't know that Ruyu's teacher is from Fudan University, so we have a lot of cooperation with Fudan University these years."
Of course, Zhu Qingwen knew Song Ruyu's teacher very well. He could be regarded as Zhu Qingwen's senior. They had met when they were in Fudan University and had been in contact with each other these years. However, they met less often.
After all, this senior had a smooth career after entering Jing City. Now that he had reached such a high position, not everyone could meet him.
However, when this senior had returned to Shanghai last year, Zhu Zhangshun had been elected to the municipal government. They had a family dinner in private.
The old lady smiled casually and said, "Oh, I see. But Ruyu, you are really amazing. Your grandpa has praised you a lot."
Song Ruyu smiled embarrassedly and said, "Grandma, my grandpa has always been like this. You must know better than me."
"Hahahaha, you are too modest." The old lady couldn't help but laugh when she heard this.
Song Ruyu said obediently, "Grandma, I will go back to Beijing tomorrow. Take care of yourself. I will accompany grandpa to visit you later. He said he hasn't seen you for a long time and wants to have a good talk with you."
"Oh, I'm fine. Go back and persuade your grandfather not to make trouble. We are so old, don't cause trouble for the children," the old lady said in a hurry. They were all old bones. If there was an accident, no one could afford it.
Song Ruyu smiled and said, "Grandma, we can't persuade grandpa. Maybe your words will work."
"Okay, okay, okay. I will call him later. You don't have to worry about it." The old lady was very relieved. After all, there were fewer and fewer old guys.
Since Qin Sheng already had a girlfriend, the old lady gave up on this idea. She thought differently from others. If Qin Sheng did not have a girlfriend, it would be possible for them to be a matchmaker. However, Qin Sheng already had a girlfriend, so she did not think about these things anymore.
However, the old lady was still very concerned about Song Ruyu's feelings. She smiled and said, "Girl, you are not young anymore. Do you want me to introduce a boyfriend to you?"
Many people had asked this question, so Song Ruyu knew how to answer it. She smiled and said, "Grandma, I don't want to think about it now. Maybe I haven't met the right one yet. I will find him when the time comes."
The old lady let out a long sigh and said, "Alas, it is a pity that Qin Sheng already has a girlfriend. Otherwise, I would think you two are quite suitable. What a pity."
As soon as the old lady said this, Zhu Qingwen and Wu Yajun were stunned at the same time. They didn't expect that the old lady would bring up this topic so directly. They didn't know whether the old lady did it intentionally or not.
However, after thinking about it, Qin Sheng and Lin Su were about to arrive. Anyway, they would see each other in a while.
But they didn't notice that after hearing the old lady's words, Song Ruyu's face was obviously a little stiff and her eyes were a little disappointed. Then, she felt relieved and relaxed. But all this happened in the blink of an eye, so no one noticed it.
