Sooner or Later
Dugu Qingning was a little uneasy when he asked this question. He was worried that if he offended Qin Sheng, he would not be able to be friends with him in the future, let alone cooperate with him.
It was not because he was too cautious, but because it was possible. After all, he did not know what kind of person Qin Sheng was. If Qin Sheng was really sensitive, he might really get angry. Dugu Qingning had experienced this kind of thing before, so he was a little worried.
However, Dugu Qingning had to ask this question, because it was definitely not a small matter. If the Dugu Family chose to deal with Third Master Wu, they would definitely pay a high price. After all, Third Master Wu's influence in Zhejiang was deep-rooted. If he ended up empty-handed in the end, then the Dugu Family's situation would become even worse. Then, the elders would definitely blame him.
He did not want to be a sinner of the Dugu Family, so he had to know the answer. If he could represent the Dugu Family, could Qin Sheng represent the Qin Family?
As for Qin Sheng, he was not angry at all. He could understand Dugu Qingning's thoughts. If Dugu Qingning had agreed casually, Qin Sheng would have been a little worried.
Actually, when Dugu Qingning asked this question, Wei Li was also startled. It did not occur to him that Dugu Qingning would be so rash as to ask this question without discussing it with him at all. If Dugu Qingning was really angry, even he would be implicated.
Fortunately, Qin Sheng did not get angry and answered truthfully. After hearing this answer, Dugu Qingning nodded with a satisfied smile. From Qin Sheng's answer, he could tell that Qin Sheng was indeed very confident. Of course, whether he could really believe Qin Sheng or not depended on what Qin Sheng would do next.
Dugu Qingning let out a long sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Master Qin, are you angry that I asked this question?"
Qin Sheng held the teacup and said calmly, "If I'm so stingy, you don't need to cooperate with me. This is the same as me asking Wei Li whether you can represent the Dugu Family or not. We must be honest with each other, so that we can cooperate happily and avoid any problems in the future."
Dugu Qingning also said happily, "Then I hope we can cooperate happily. I also hope that everything in Hangzhou will go smoothly."
Qin Sheng stood up and took the initiative to shake hands with him as he said, "Happy cooperation."
For the rest of the time, they talked about trivial things. Wei Li asked about Qin Sheng's work in Shanghai. Qin Sheng smiled and said that he was in charge of the restructuring of several financial companies of the Chang 'an Department in Shanghai, so he was quite busy on weekdays. He might not be able to handle it in a short time.
Wei Li said to Dugu Qingning with a smile, "In that case, we can often go to Shanghai to visit Lao Qin. I'm quite familiar with Shanghai."
They had lunch in this tea garden. As the host, Dugu Qingning took the initiative to entertain Qin Sheng. He had prepared some exquisite Hangzhou dishes and many refreshments. As expected, Cai Yu stayed for lunch, while her classmates went back to school in advance. Wei Li took the initiative to create opportunities for the two of them. Qin Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. He did not want to get involved in any more romantic affairs.
Cai Yu was sitting beside Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng took the initiative to ask her, "How is it? Do you have any works today?"
Cai Yu blinked and said, "Yes, but I can't let you see it."
Qin Sheng found it funny and said, "What works? You can't let me see it?"
Cai Yu's words had aroused Qin Sheng's curiosity. After thinking for a while, Qin Sheng said, "If you let me see your works, I might introduce you to a master in the painting and calligraphy circle. It seems that the master's independent courtyard is in Meijiawu. I think the people in the China Academy of Fine Arts should know who this master is, right?"
The master Qin Sheng was talking about was naturally Mr. Liu, a big shot in the painting and calligraphy circle. Qin Sheng had visited Mr. Liu many times before, but they had not contacted each other since the accident. If he had time in Hangzhou this time, Qin Sheng would also find time to visit him.
Cai Yu was a top student in China Academy of Fine Arts and a disciple of several masters. How could she not know Mr. Liu's name? In recent years, Mr. Liu's paintings and calligraphy works had been sold at high prices.
Cai Yu was surprised and said, "You mean Mr. Liu?"
Qin Sheng smiled faintly and said, "Even you know it. Then will you let me see it? I'm a semi-professional and can give you some comments. "
Cai Yu curled her lips. It seemed that she did not believe Qin Sheng's words. After hesitating for a while, she decided to say, "I'll let you see it. You can't make fun of me."
Qin Sheng was surprised and said, "I won't."
When Cai Yu took out the work she had just sketched, Qin Sheng finally knew why Cai Yu had not allowed him to see it. It turned out that Cai Yu's work today was about him. The content was the scene when they had been chatting on the observation deck just now. She had only simulated Wei Li and Dugu Qingning, and mainly described Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng didn't know what to say. Was he so charming? Why did this girl pay so much attention to him now? Did she really like him? Didn't she know that this kind of love was doomed to be fruitless?
Wei Li also saw the works and muttered, "Cai Yu, I'm a little jealous. You're too partial. Why is Qingning and I so vague?"
Cai Yu had a headache. If she had known this, she would not have taken it out. She had to explain in a hurry, "Brother Wei, don't think too much. I've painted too many works for you. I'm afraid you're all tired of them."
Wei Li found it funny and said, "You're good at talking."
After lunch, Qin Sheng waved goodbye to Wei Li, Dugu Qingning, and the others. Cai Yu watched Qin Sheng leave reluctantly until Qin Sheng got in the car and drove out of the tea garden.
Dugu Qingning sighed and said, "Yu 'er, I've tried my best. The rest is up to you." It could be seen that Cai Yu might have fallen in love with Qin Sheng.
Wei Li took the initiative to persuade her, "Cai Yu, it's okay if you like him. Don't take it seriously. Otherwise, you're the one who will be hurt. He is destined to be in a different world from you. Let bygones be bygones."
Cai Yu didn't know what to say at the moment. She stood there feeling a little wronged. Maybe as Brother Wei said, it was destined to be impossible. It was just her wishful thinking. Moreover, he already had a girlfriend, who was prettier and more outstanding than her.
After Qin Sheng left the Dugu Family's manor, he went to Jiuxi Rose Garden Villa. Since it was not far away, he wanted to visit Cao Da's family. They had been separated for more than half a year.
After a few cars arrived at Jiuxi Rose Garden, Brother Wu found a way to get the security guards to let them drive directly into the community. In the end, they stopped at a distance from the Cao Family's villa. Qin Sheng got out of the car and walked over. Yang Daniu and Brother Wu followed behind him. The others stayed in the car.
When Qin Sheng walked to the entrance of the Cao Family's villa, the door of the villa was unexpectedly open. On the lawn in the courtyard, Cao Da's concubine, Mi Na, was playing with her daughter, Cao Yu. There were also servants and nannies of the Cao Family accompanying them. It was a happy and warm scene.
Mi Na was still so sexy and charming. She was wearing a tight dress, showing off her perfect figure. This was something that the first wife could not compare with. Maybe she had already gotten over it. At least with Mi Na at home, Cao Da would not go out to fool around. Otherwise, she would not be at ease.
As Cao Yu was playing, she suddenly saw Qin Sheng. This little girl was quick-witted and naturally recognized Qin Sheng. It was just that she had not seen Qin Sheng for a long time, so she was more or less unfamiliar with him. She stood there and stared at Qin Sheng, looking silly and adorable. She was really cute.
Mi Na, who was playing with her phone, found her daughter standing there in a daze. She smiled subconsciously and asked, "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
Yu 'er heard her mother's voice and turned around. Then, she pointed at Qin Sheng, who was not far away. However, she did not say anything.
Mi Na looked in the direction her daughter had pointed out with a face full of curiosity. As expected, she saw Qin Sheng slowly walking over. Mi Na's smiling face froze in an instant. She covered her mouth and stared at Qin Sheng, as if she couldn't believe what she had just seen.
Qin Sheng walked over slowly and said, "Second Aunt, long time no see. You are still so beautiful."
Mi Na still did not come back to her senses. She replied in a daze, "You, you are, Qin, Qin Sheng. Why, why are you, back?"
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Second Aunt, why can't I come back? I haven't seen you for more than half a year. This time, I had to go back to Hangzhou for something, so I came to see you on the way. Is Uncle Cao around? "
Mi Na did not know how to greet him, because it was too sudden. She did not expect that Qin Sheng, who had disappeared for a long time, would suddenly appear in front of her. It was too unbelievable. No wonder even her daughter was standing there in a daze just now.
Mi Na pointed in the direction of the villa and said, "He, he is inside …"
"Second Aunt, then you play with Yu 'er first. I'll go in and see Uncle Cao first." Qin Sheng smiled and nodded. Then, he walked straight into the villa.
Yang Daniu and Brother Wu stayed in the yard and did not go in rashly. Naturally, nothing would happen to Qin Sheng here.
Mi Na stood there and watched Qin Sheng walk away. She still could not believe it. She thought that she had seen the wrong person.
In the living room of the villa, Cao Da was reading the news on his phone. During this period of time, he had been very relaxed. Anyway, his business had been sold to others, and he only had a little family business left. Now, he did not have to worry about anything. He just had to wait for his son to graduate and take over.
When Qin Sheng walked in, Cao Da did not hear him. He was getting older, and his hearing was getting worse.
The nanny recognized Qin Sheng and wanted to greet him, but Qin Sheng signaled her not to speak.
Then, Qin Sheng slowly walked into the living room and saw Cao Da looking at his phone. More than half a year had passed. Uncle Cao did not seem to have changed much except that he had become older. Qin Sheng took a deep breath and then called out to Cao Da, who was watching the news, "Uncle Cao."
Cao Da was shocked when he heard the voice. He was about to complain about who did not know the rules, but when he looked up and saw that it was Qin Sheng, Cao Da was instantly stunned.
Qin Sheng?
However, Cao Da's reaction was not as slow as Mi Na's. He quickly came back to his senses. He was not surprised that Qin Sheng would suddenly come back, because it would happen sooner or later. He had been waiting for this day, because he knew that Qin Sheng was not dead.
Therefore, Cao Da just smiled and said, "You're back."
