Facing the Problem Alone
The weather forecast said that a typhoon would come soon. Qin Sheng still remembered the typhoon he had experienced in college. It should be the most powerful typhoon in Shanghai in the past 20 years. At that time, everyone stayed in the dormitory and did not dare to go out, for fear that they would be blown away by the typhoon. However, Su Qin's gastritis broke out, and she was in so much pain in the dormitory.
Although it was noon, it was still dark outside. The wind was blowing hard, and the rainstorm was coming, as if doomsday was coming.
Su Qin's roommates wanted to call Qin Sheng, but Su Qin insisted on not letting them. In such a weather, accidents could easily happen. She did not want Qin Sheng to take risks for her, so she could only endure it.
However, illness came like a landslide. It was not easy to endure it. In the end, Su Qin's roommates could not stand it anymore, so they called Qin Sheng. When Qin Sheng received the call, he was ready to rush out without hesitation. After several other people in the dormitory asked him what was going on, they finally decided that Xia Ding would drive and Cao Yufeng would accompany him. Only then did they let Qin Sheng send Su Qin to the nearest hospital.
This city was still the same city, but those people were not the same people anymore. Those stories had also been scattered with the wind. As people walked, they also disappeared. Actually, many old friends who had been with each other day and night had already seen each other for the last time. Since then, they had disappeared in the vast sea of people.
When Xia Ding went to Shanghai last time, he told Qin Sheng that there would be a classmate gathering in Shanghai in a period of time. All the classmates were familiar with him at that time. Xia Ding said that he would go to join in the fun and see if he could break up a couple. Qin Sheng happened to be back in Shanghai this time, so he suddenly wanted to join in the fun at that time.
Qin Sheng and Lin Su arrived at Sinan Road just after 10 o 'clock. In fact, Qin Sheng liked the feeling of staying in the old district of Shanghai for a long time. It seemed that this was the real charm of a city, unlike Pudong, which only had skyscrapers, which were breathtaking at first glance. No wonder those tycoons liked to live in garden houses in the old district. Qin Sheng thought that when he was old, he could also buy such a house in Shanghai and come here for a few months every year. It was actually quite good.
During this period of time, Lin Su was almost always wearing professional attire. Today, she could finally wear something more relaxed and comfortable. She wore a simple printed white T-shirt, white jeans, and high-heeled sandals. The most important thing was that she and Qin Sheng were wearing couple attire. When she was shopping, she also bought a set for Qin Sheng. Although Qin Sheng was not in Shanghai during this period of time, Lin Su bought a few sets of clothes for him when she went shopping with her best friend.
To be honest, Qin Sheng was quite happy in the past 30 years. When he was young, Auntie Wang bought clothes for him. When he grew up, Auntie Wang and Xin Xin often bought things for him when they went shopping. Later, he had Su Qin, who did not care about him as much as Auntie Wang did. Now he had his sister, Lin Su, and so on. Anyway, he never had to worry about wearing clothes.
The green parasol trees, the mottled old walls, and the rusty iron gate told the stories of each family. The towering trees in the courtyard hid many secrets. Every time Qin Sheng walked to the door of such an old foreign-style house, he would always think about how much history these green bricks and gray tiles had witnessed. People came and went endlessly. The only thing that did not change was listening to the stories of each family. They were neither sad nor happy, and they would still be the same even after 10 or 100 years.
In the living room of the old foreign-style house, the old lady had been waiting for a long time. Hearing that Qin Sheng had returned to Shanghai, the old lady was as happy as a child. She had packed up early and waited for Qin Sheng and Lin Su to come over. When the servant went to buy vegetables, she even reminded them to buy fresh vegetables and so on, which made people laugh.
Zhu Qingwen had also come over with the child. They were chatting with the old lady, but the governor wasn't around at the moment. He would only be able to come over at lunchtime. After all, he was a busy man. To walk this path, one had to give up a lot of things. If one wanted to go further, one had to give up even more things. As for what they had obtained, everyone had their own answer.
Before Qin Sheng and Lin Su came in, the nanny said to the old lady, "Old Lady, they are here."
Hearing this, the old lady stood up with a smile. The wrinkles on her face seemed to have disappeared a lot.
Qin Sheng and Lin Su did not dare to let their grandmother welcome them. They walked over quickly. The old lady held Qin Sheng's hand and shouted, "Oh, why did you lose weight again? Are you not used to the climate in Beijing? I was wondering why you went to Beijing. Shanghai is more comfortable than Beijing. I like staying in Shanghai. "
The old lady knew that Qin Sheng had stayed in Shanghai for a long time. He had only stayed in Beijing for a few months. Therefore, she said that Qin Sheng was not used to the climate in Beijing. At this time, the old lady had no time to care about her granddaughter-in-law. After all, she had not seen her grandson for more than a month. During this period, Lin Su had come over two or three times. The old lady felt that since they were family, she did not need to be so polite.
Therefore, the old lady held Qin Sheng's hand and talked for a long time. Then she paid attention to Lin Su beside her and praised her with a smile. It was enough for her to be treated like this by the old lady. Lin Su greeted the old lady with a smile. In the end, she was pulled away by her small aunt, Zhu Qingwen, who said that the old lady missed her grandson and asked Qin Sheng to chat with her for a while.
As soon as Qin Sheng sat down, the old lady gave him fruits and snacks. Qin Sheng did not dare to refuse. They chatted while eating. The old lady asked him what he was going to do in Beijing. Then she asked him why he had been there for so long. Then she asked if he would go there again. She kept asking questions like a child. Qin Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was so touched that he had nothing to say.
Grandma really loved him. It was not until more than half an hour later that the old lady let Qin Sheng go. Then she chatted with Lin Su. At this time, Zhu Qingwen went to the kitchen. Qin Sheng followed her into the kitchen. In the kitchen, the housekeeper had just started to prepare lunch. Qin Sheng and Zhu Qingwen helped to wash and cut the vegetables. Then they talked about these casual topics.
"I did not expect that you could really persuade your aunt." Zhu Qingwen was a little amused. She knew the temper of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Qin Family. She had seen it before. It was really difficult for her to listen to the advice of the Zhu Family.
Qin Sheng replied honestly, "We did not persuade her. It was Uncle who persuaded her. She still believes in Uncle. Uncle quite agrees with your advice."
"Oh, that uncle of yours is willing to come out of retirement?" Zhu Qingwen was very surprised. She knew that Qin Sheng had gone to find Qin Changxing, but she did not know that it was Qin Changxing who had persuaded Zhao Anzhi. Zhu Qingwen was not unfamiliar with Qin Changxing. He was an influential person in the past. It was just that he made people sigh a little.
If Qin Changxing had not gone into seclusion because of the matter of the Qin Family, maybe today Qin Changxing alone was enough to make people not dare to look down on the Qin Family. Maybe Qin Changan would not have taken this path. Everything was fate. Inadvertent things could change many people's lives.
Qin Sheng shook his head and said, "Uncle has not come back yet. I just called him."
"If your uncle had come back, you would not have so much pressure. Alas." Zhu Qingwen let out a long sigh and said, "Forget it. Let's not talk about this. How long are you going to stay in Shanghai this time?"
"I don't know yet," Qin Sheng said. He really had not thought about this problem.
Zhu Qingwen did not say much. She smiled and said, "Then don't rush back. There is nothing to do when you go back. Just take it as a quiet time in Shanghai. Maybe there will be a result about your family soon. It will not be too late to go back then."
Qin Sheng thought for a moment and said casually, "I am a little worried about the Chang 'an people. If we are not there, I am afraid that they will be too unscrupulous. At that time, the Chang' an people will be in a mess. Will it make the Qin Family worse?"
Zhu Qingwen chuckled and said, "Don't worry. You don't have to worry about this at all. First, those people are not as anxious as you think. At the same time, don't look down on them. After so many years in Sijiu City, they have this awareness. Second, even if they do something, it will never have anything to do with the Qin Family. Many people are watching. As long as you don't interfere with the Chang 'an people's affairs, it will be fine. "
Qin Sheng nodded silently. He believed that Small Aunt could see further than them. After all, Small Uncle and Small Uncle were behind her. They stood at a high enough position.
At noon
As soon as the meal was on the table, the old lady asked everyone to sit down for fear that her grandson and granddaughter-in-law would be hungry. Of course, Qin Sheng sat beside the old lady. Before he moved his chopsticks, he heard the whistle outside. Qin Sheng knew that Small Uncle's husband was coming, so he stood up in a hurry and went out with Lin Su to welcome him.
Before coming to the old lady's place, Qin Sheng had already told Lin Su that Small Uncle would also come today. Lin Su was somewhat nervous. After all, it was the first time for her to meet Small Uncle, and it was also the first time for her to have such a close contact with a governor on such an occasion, who was in charge of Shanghai, the most economically developed city in China.
Qin Sheng smiled and said that there was no need to think too much. Today was just a family gathering, and Small Uncle was just Small Uncle. Although Qin Sheng said so, Lin Su still felt a little nervous.
Downstairs of the old foreign-style house, Zhu Zhangshun had already gotten out of the car and walked to the old foreign-style house unhurriedly. The driver and the secretary were still waiting in the car. They had long been familiar with this place. Zhu Zhangshun looked up and saw Qin Sheng coming out with his girlfriend. He smiled and waved his hand. This time, Zhu Zhangshun looked quite approachable.
Qin Sheng called softly, "Uncle."
Zhu Zhangshun nodded with a smile and patted Qin Sheng's shoulder gently. Then he looked at Lin Su, who also called him Uncle. Of course, he knew Qin Sheng's girlfriend. After all, his wife, Zhu Qingwen, often mentioned her. This beautiful girl was relatively reserved in front of Qin Sheng, just like most girls. It seemed that there was no difference between them except that they were beautiful and had a good temperament. However, Zhu Zhangshun also knew that she was outstanding enough and was now the helmsman of Lin's Group. If she had not been absolutely powerful, Lin's Group would not have handed over such a big group to this girl. Therefore, Zhu Zhangshun quite appreciated Qin Sheng's girlfriend.
"You are Lin Su, right?" Zhu Zhangshun asked very kindly.
Now Lin Su was already half a member of the Zhu Family. In ordinary days, when she met the old lady and Zhu Qingwen, she would call them Grandmother and Small Aunt. Therefore, when she met Zhu Zhangshun, she naturally called him Small Uncle. Otherwise, she might not be used to calling him other names.
Lin Su was no stranger to this Small Uncle. It was just that she had seen him on TV and online news before. This was the first time that she had seen him in person. His natural aura made her feel a little restrained. She could only smile and nod.
"Don't be nervous. I am just your Small Uncle," Zhu Zhangshun said with a smile. Of course, he understood Lin Su.
At this time, Qin Sheng helped to resolve the situation. "Uncle, lunch is ready. We are just waiting for you. Grandmother and Small Aunt are already waiting."
"Then let's go in," Zhu Zhangshun said with a smile. Then he strode inside.
Qin Sheng gently held Lin Su's hand and then joked in a low voice, "Our Big President Lin can also be nervous."
"You still say that?" Lin Su stared at Qin Sheng and said. She hoped that when she met Qin Sheng's uncle again in the future, she would not be so nervous. Maybe in the future, she would meet more important people like him. It seemed that she needed to continue to train.
The atmosphere of lunch was very warm. Zhu Zhangshun behaved very casually at the dining table. He did not dare to put on airs in front of the old lady. It should be known that when he first talked to Zhu Qingwen, Old Master Zhu had a lot of opinions about this. The old lady said a lot of good things about him. Therefore, Zhu Zhangshun had been very filial to the old lady all these years. The old lady was also very satisfied with this son-in-law. Especially after Zhu Zhangshun went further and further away, the old lady felt that she did not choose the wrong person back then. It was just that Zhu Zhangshun became busier and busier, so the number of times he came to see the old lady became a little less. The old lady did not have any opinion about this, because business was more important.
With Zhu Zhangshun around, not to mention Lin Su, even Qin Sheng did not talk much. Fortunately, the old lady and Zhu Qingwen did not want to make the atmosphere awkward, so they took the initiative to talk about a lot of topics. Only then did the two young people gradually get used to it. Qin Sheng talked more towards the end.
After lunch, Zhu Qingwen and Lin Su accompanied the old lady to chat in the living room. As expected, Zhu Zhangshun called Qin Sheng to the balcony on the second floor. Qin Sheng followed behind Zhu Zhangshun, feeling a little uneasy. This was the first time he faced this Small Uncle alone.
