When Qin Sheng arrived at Wangjing, Qin Ran had already come out with a few friends. They had talked about everything that needed to be talked about. Although as Qin Ran's friends, Ma Weiyang and the rest also hoped that the Qin Family could get through this crisis as soon as possible, they knew very well that this was not a trivial matter. It was also not the storm that the previous big shots were involved in. The Qin Family was probably in trouble this time.
However, friends were friends after all. They would only hope for their friends to be friendly and not for their friends to be in a worse state. That would only be watching their friends make a fool of themselves. They would never take advantage of others when they were down. If it was within their abilities, if others were to take advantage of them, they would still stand up for their friends.
"Ran Ran, are you really not going to have dinner with us tonight? Although you have been busy recently, some things can't be rushed. You have to reduce your stress. I'm afraid that you won't be able to handle it if the pressure is too great, "Ma Weiyang said earnestly. As her best friend, she was really worried about Qin Ran.
Yi Hao added, "Sister Ran Ran, we're just having dinner together. I'll send you back after that."
Qin Ran did not drive today. The driver drove her home after dropping her off. Qin Sheng said that he would pick her up to meet her aunt after he was done with his work. Hence, they had to stand up for dinner.
Qin Ran looked back at them and laughed. "I know you're worried about me, but I really have something to do tonight. Qin Sheng will pick me up soon. He sent me a WeChat message just now."
Before Qin Ran's voice died away, Qin Sheng's two cars had already arrived downstairs of the building. He saw everyone from afar. After the car stopped, he quickly walked over to greet everyone. Now, Qin Sheng was even more stressed than Qin Ran. Ma Weiyang did not make fun of Qin Sheng. If it were in the past, she would definitely flirt with him.
"Qin Sheng, I don't have any requests for you. I just hope that you can take good care of your sister. Don't let us worry." Ma Weiyang patted Qin Sheng's shoulder.
Qin Sheng smiled and replied, "Sister Mawei, don't worry. I will."
"Then we won't keep you. Let's meet again next time." Ma Weiyang looked at the siblings and said with a heartache.
Qin Ran said goodbye to Zhang Da and Yi Hao and followed Qin Sheng into the car. After a while, the two cars left Wangjing. After they left, Ma Weiyang and the rest were still standing by the roadside. They were not in a hurry to leave. They seemed to have something to say.
"Do you think the Qin family will be able to overcome this crisis?" Ma Weiyang mumbled to herself. In fact, she had heard a lot of news from the old man, but some of it was not good to tell Qin Ran. It was not that she could not say it, but she was afraid that it would make Qin Ran more pessimistic.
Zhang Da let out a long sigh and said, "It's difficult. Master Qin is not like the others. The scope of his involvement is a little wide. If we really touch Master Qin, I'm afraid many people will be in trouble. It's just that they don't know it yet."
"Sijiu City hasn't been peaceful recently," Yi Hao muttered to himself, especially in the financial system. After a few big shots who held the power of life and death got into trouble, who knew how many people would be implicated. Those seemingly glamorous and beautiful local tycoons would eventually be stripped of their underwear. Who knew how many people would have to run away?
As a matter of fact, Master Qin got into trouble here. Master Qin and the Chang 'an Group had been the aircraft carrier of the domestic capital industry for the past few years. If this aircraft carrier sank, who knew how many people would suffer. In fact, as some people had guessed, when the big shot who was in charge of the insurance industry got into trouble, the Chang' an Group was already in danger. Master Qin had been running around for this matter, but he did not expect that he would be so deeply involved that he would not be able to overcome it in the end.
Ma Weiyang glanced at Yi Hao and said, "Haozi, you're still young. Don't be so old. Will you still be able to find a wife in the future? Who would like an old man like you?"
"Sister, do we still lack a girlfriend?" Yi Hao said disapprovingly. With his family background and appearance, he did not know how many women would chase after him.
Ma Weiyang said impatiently, "I'm talking about a wife, not a girlfriend. Do you dare to bring any woman home? Believe it or not, your grandpa will break your legs. I know your grandpa's temper. "
"Okay, okay, okay, I beg for mercy. Let's go for dinner. I'm starving." Yi Hao quickly changed the topic. If he quarreled with Ma Weiyang, he would lose immediately. What's more, it would be easy for her to hold a grudge against him. Who could guarantee that she would return the favor one day?
The place that Small Aunt had booked for dinner tonight was at Donglaishun. She said that she missed the hot pot in Beijing. She was already on her way there. Originally, she would arrive in Beijing at eight o 'clock. Maybe she thought it was too late, so she changed it to the afternoon.
On the way to Donglaishun, Qin Sheng told his sister about the result of today's meeting. Needless to say, he did not mention the Zheng Family, but he mainly talked about the He Family and Old Master He. He wanted to see if his sister knew about the He Family's background. After all, his sister grew up in Sijiu City, unlike him, who knew nothing about Sijiu City.
Qin Ran said quietly, "This Zheng Family is a little strange. But I haven't heard of them. I can ask others later." She was also very angry about the Zheng Family's attitude. Maybe they thought that the Qin Family wanted to ride on the Zheng Family's coattails. They thought that the Qin Family could not survive anymore, so they came to the Zheng Family. They did not know that the Zheng Family was nothing in the Qin Family's eyes. They just wanted to see what the guardian family left by their grandpa was like.
Qin Sheng chuckled and said, "Sister, there is no need to be angry with the Zheng Family. Since even you don't know them, I guess they are just a little rich and can't help us much. It's better to keep a distance from them. Let's talk about the rest later."
Qin Ran said casually, "Well, you are right. Then I will listen to you."
Qin Sheng followed up and asked, "Sister, do you know anything about the He Family? I feel that the He Family is not simple. They should have known the Qin Family's identity long ago. These years, they have been contacting First Uncle. They know that the Qin Family is in danger, but they chose to take the initiative to get involved. "
When Qin Sheng mentioned the He Family, Qin Ran already wanted to say something. At this time, she said meaningfully, "This Old Master He is not simple. What do you think of the He Family? I will tell you later. Anyway, the He Family may really be able to help the Qin Family. "
Qin Sheng did not expect that his sister would have such a high evaluation of the He Family. It seemed that today's trip was not in vain. The He Family did not let him down, nor did they let the Qin Family down. He said calmly, "Well, I will continue to contact the He Family. We will talk about the details when the time comes."
Qin Ran asked casually, "What about the other family?"
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "Not today. I will make an appointment for tomorrow."
When they arrived at the restaurant on Qianmen Street of Donglaishun, Small Aunt was already waiting for them inside. This restaurant was close to the Eight Alleys and Liulichang. Not far away was the Temple of Heaven Park. After dinner, they could stroll around.
Zhu Qingwen was waiting for the sister and brother in the private room. She was alone and did not bring anyone else. After the Qin Family was in trouble, the whole Zhu Family seemed to have a tacit understanding to keep silent. No one took the initiative to call the sister and brother. It was not that they did not care about them. On the contrary, they cared about them more than anyone else. However, when it came to such a big matter, if there was no elder's order, they did not dare to make decisions on their own.
Pushing the door and entering, the sister and brother did not seem to know how to greet their Small Aunt. They just called her Small Aunt obediently. It seemed that they were more distant than in the past and were not so close. Zhu Qingwen also felt it. She did not know if they were too tired these days or if they were angry at the Zhu Family.
"Sit down first." Zhu Qingwen asked the sister and brother to sit down and took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for them. She cared about them.
Then Zhu Qingwen called the waiter to order. Qin Sheng and Qin Ran casually ordered two dishes. The rest was ordered by Zhu Qingwen. After all, she wanted to eat Donglaishun's hot pot. Although she came to Beijing many times, she was always in a hurry every time. Most of the time, she went to dinner arranged by others or treated others to dinner. She rarely had the chance to eat hot pot.
In the past, when they were in Beijing, there was a Donglaishun Hot Pot restaurant near the Zhu family's house. Their parents would take them there almost every month, so they liked the taste very much. Later, after they moved to Zhejiang, they rarely had such opportunities.
After ordering, Zhu Qingwen looked at Qin Ran and Qin Sheng and said, "I haven't seen you for a few days. You two have suffered a lot. If the old lady saw you like this, she would be very distressed."
Qin Ran asked tentatively, "Small Aunt, does Grandma know?"
"Not yet. I'm hiding it from her. I don't dare to let the old lady know. Who knows what kind of trouble it will cause? How will we deal with it then?" Zhu Qingwen did not hide anything. She told them the truth. If the old lady had an accident because of her relapse, it would not be worth it. No one could bear the responsibility.
Qin Ran breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good. Grandma can't stand such a big thing."
"What? Do you have resentment against us? You didn't call us for such a long time and didn't discuss with us. Are you drawing a line with us or not contacting us in the future? "Zhu Qingwen looked at the sister and brother and asked deliberately.
Qin Ran shook her head first and replied, "No. We know that Small Aunt, Uncle and you are very busy. We didn't want to disturb you. We can solve these things by ourselves."
"You still say you don't have resentment? Can you really solve it? "Zhu Qingwen chuckled.
At this time, Qin Sheng said, "Small Aunt, we understand."
"Although we understand, we still have resentment in our hearts." It seemed that Zhu Qingwen would not let go of this matter.
Qin Ran and Qin Sheng looked at each other and smiled helplessly. How could they not have resentment? Such a big thing was shouldered by the sister and brother. Although they could understand it, they still had resentment in their hearts.
"This time, it is not only my idea to meet you, but also the idea of your uncle and uncle. They are afraid that you don't know how to face and deal with this matter, and finally let you sink too deep. So they asked me to come to Beijing to meet you." Zhu Qingwen went straight to the point and said the purpose of this trip, which could be regarded as relieving Qin Sheng and Qin Ran.
Qin Ran was a little surprised, and Qin Sheng was even more stunned. It did not occur to him that Small Aunt came with the attitude of the Zhu Family.
Qin Sheng asked eagerly, "Small Aunt, what do you think we should do?"
"One word, wait," Zhu Qingwen said meaningfully.
Wait?
Qin Sheng and Qin Ran looked at each other, as if they did not understand what she meant.
