This was the first time that the Old Lady and Qin Sheng would have such a formal chat. It should be called a conversation. The Old Lady did not treat Qin Sheng as a child, but as a man of the Qin Family who could be completely responsible for her. So in the end, Qin Sheng had to bear all the consequences by himself.
Qin Sheng was also very clear about this point. Therefore, he did not treat himself as his grandmother's beloved grandson to fool around. Instead, he listened to the old lady's lecture obediently and then made the final choice, a choice that concerned the future of the Qin Family.
Now, the old lady had come up with a solution. What would Qin Sheng choose?
Qin Sheng had asked what he should have asked. In the end, he asked what if he refused?
The old lady's expression changed slightly, but it was within her expectation. After all, she just gave Qin Sheng a choice. She was not completely sure that Qin Sheng would definitely agree. Even if Qin Sheng did not agree, the old lady would not be surprised. Deep down, she hoped that Qin Sheng would not agree.
The Qin Family was the Qin Family, and Qin Sheng was Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng did not need to tie his life to the Qin Family. He could completely separate from the current Qin Family. In this way, he would not have any regrets. Even if the Qin Family was gone, there was still the Zhu Family. Qin Sheng would still be Qin Sheng. Maybe one day when Qin Sheng stood up again, he would be the Qin Family.
After the old lady came to her senses, she stared at this young but experienced grandson meaningfully and said, "If you refuse, you are still my grandson. However, the Zhu Family and I will not interfere with anything of the Qin Family from now on. You and your sister should not blame the Zhu Family for being ruthless. Whatever happens to the Qin Family, it is our business."
After hearing this, Qin Sheng understood the old lady's meaning. This was the only and last chance that the Zhu Family would give to the Qin Family. If the Qin Family refused, the Zhu Family would not interfere with anything from then on.
"I see, Grandma," Qin Sheng said lightly.
The old lady said calmly, "Sheng 'er, you can choose now. I hope you will not regret whatever choice you make."
The old lady wanted to say a lot of words, but she finally felt that she could not be too kind at this time. The more she said, the more hesitant and indecisive Qin Sheng would be. In the end, Qin Sheng would be the one suffering. It was better for him to make a choice directly and bear the rest slowly.
How could Qin Sheng make a choice in such a short time? He said with a little pain, "Grandma, can you give me some time? Let me think it over. "
The old lady was already very pleased that Qin Sheng said that he would consider it. She was afraid that Qin Sheng would agree without hesitation. In that case, this grandson of hers would be too heartless, because he had let down a woman he could not let down.
Consequently, the old lady did not reject him. Instead, she agreed directly and said, "Okay, I'll give you enough time to think about it. You can tell me when you've made up your mind."
"Thank you, Grandma," Qin Sheng said lightly.
The old lady was not used to her grandson's politeness. She took Qin Sheng's hand and said after a moment of hesitation, "Sheng 'er, in fact, I hope you can refuse. You don't have to bear so much pressure. Life is a lifetime. I hope you and your sister can be safe and sound. As long as I'm here, I won't let anyone bully you. What do you think?"
"Grandma, I'll think about it carefully," Qin Sheng replied in a euphemistic way. He knew what his grandma meant. In fact, this was indeed a choice. However, could he really give up the current Qin Family? Give up on the aunty who has been struggling to support this family? Give up that innocent and adorable little sister? If it were his sister, what would she choose?
The old lady knew that Qin Sheng was in a dilemma. He needed to think it over before making a choice. Consequently, she said no more. She stood up slowly and said, "Sheng 'er, I've said what I should say. The rest is up to you."
Qin Sheng quickly supported his grandma and said, "Grandma, I know."
"Well, let's go out. Don't let them wait for too long," the old lady said casually.
Qin Sheng supported the old lady and walked out slowly. The old lady's footsteps were a little unstable. She was indeed mentally exhausted because of the Qin Family's affairs these days. Zhu Qingwen and Qin Ran, who were outside, heard the squeaking sound of the door opening. When they saw the old lady and Qin Sheng coming out, they hurried over to support the old lady.
Zhu Qingwen was too embarrassed to ask what they had talked about, but she and Qin Ran were very concerned about this issue. The old lady said directly, "Erya, it's getting late. Let's go back."
Zhu Qingwen nodded with a puzzled look. Until now, she had not figured out why the old lady had come to the Qin Family. Was it just to see Qin Ran and Qin Sheng? What on earth had she talked about with Qin Sheng?
Qin Ran and Qin Sheng did not keep their grandma and small aunt for long. They walked them out of the siheyuan in person and watched them leave the alley at the door. Then they turned around and went back to the Qin Family. This scene was seen by many people hiding in the dark. At least the old lady did not care. She just wanted these people to see it and tell them not to bully her grandson and granddaughter.
After Qin Sheng and Qin Ran returned to the Qin Family's siheyuan, Qin Ran could not wait to ask, "Qin Sheng, what did Grandma talk about with you?"
Qin Sheng did not want his sister to know about this. This was his own choice. There was no need to pressure his sister. If his sister knew about it, it might cause more trouble. For Qin Sheng, it was simple to say yes or no.
Qin Sheng explained, "Sister, we didn't talk much. Grandma just told us some things about the Qin Family and advised us not to be so persistent. We can live our own life. At that time, if others still bully us, Grandma will protect us."
Qin Ran felt that something was wrong, but she could not tell. She could only say, "Really?"
Qin Sheng held his sister's shoulder and said, "Sister, when did I lie to you?"
"That's good." Qin Ran finally believed him.
It was almost lunchtime, but Qin Ran and Qin Sheng were not in a hurry to leave. They did not leave until they had lunch in the Qin Family's house. Qin Sheng said he was a little tired and wanted to rest. Qin Ran did not care about him. After Qin Ran left, Qin Sheng went into the study and did not come out until the evening.
After accompanying the old lady home, Zhu Qingwen finally could not help but ask, "Mom, what did you talk about with Sheng 'er today?"
"Nothing much. I'm just chatting with my grandson," the old lady explained with a smile.
Zhu Qingwen did not believe it at all. She took a deep breath and said, "Mom, although I don't know what you want to do, I think even if you want to do something, you should discuss it with us. After all, we are a family. You have to think about Big Brother and the others."
"What can I do as an old lady? I didn't ask for favors from the leaders, nor did I interfere with the relevant departments' investigation. What are you worried about? "The old lady said calmly.
Zhu Qingwen still did not believe it. "Mom, I always feel that you are planning something big."
"Planning something big? Do I have that ability? You are really good at thinking. All right, I'm tired from all this. Help me back to my room to rest. "God was not willing to talk about these things. When Qin Sheng made his choice and the Song Family gave their response, she would naturally tell others about it.
Zhu Qingwen was really helpless. She could not get any information from the old lady. She did not want the old lady to be too tired, so she had to help the old lady back to her room to have a rest. Then she reported to Big Brother what had happened today.
Everything seemed to be calm, but the outside world was already turbulent. The news that the old lady of the Zhu Family suddenly returned to Jing City and went to the siheyuan of the Qin Family today spread like wildfire. It was well-known that the old lady of the Zhu Family had lived in Shanghai for many years. Now she suddenly came back at such an old age and went directly to the siheyuan of the Qin Family. One should know that the old lady of the Zhu Family had never been to the siheyuan of the Qin Family.
These two pieces of news shocked everyone who paid attention to the affairs of the Qin Family. Maybe the Zhu Family and the Qin Family did not care about or imagine how powerful the two pieces of news would be. But the outside world had already been in chaos.
The Sixth Uncle was the first to bear the brunt of this news. In everyone's opinion, the Zhu Family was involved in this and the Zhu Family was going to turn the tables for the Qin Family. Now everyone's opponent had changed from the declining Qin Family to the rising Zhu Family. Everyone was in a panic. What should they do?
The result of the Chang 'an Family, which was supposed to be settled, suddenly changed again. Some people who were ready to enter the arena to grab the cake stopped at this time. They did not expect that the Qin Family had a backup plan. The real trump card had not been played yet. They could not help but feel lucky that they did not act impulsively. Otherwise, they would have offended the Zhu Family.
Therefore, everyone was now watching the show, waiting to see how the Sixth Uncle and his group would fight with the Zhu Family. The Zhu Family was not the Qin Family. Many people could guess how powerful the Zhu Family was.
There were no outsiders today. All the people present were the real big shots of the families who could directly make the decision. However, the atmosphere at this moment was not right. Everyone was silent and had different plans in mind.
"I already know what happened this morning. I guess you all have your own judgment. Now tell me, what are you going to do?" The Sixth Uncle asked politely, but he was also a little panicked. His previous judgment was that the Zhu Family would not be involved in this. After all, the Zhu Family had too many scruples and would not take action. Moreover, the relationship between the Zhu Family and the Qin Family was so bad that it was unnecessary for them to get involved.
However, the current situation surprised him. The old lady of the Zhu Family had returned to Beijing. They were going to take action for real. The Sixth Uncle's plan was disrupted in an instant.
He was also very clear that a crisis was coming. It was not only an external crisis, but also an internal crisis. These big shots of the families had already made their own plans. None of them would face the Zhu Family directly.
Just as the Sixth Uncle was thinking, the Li Family took the lead and said, "Sixth Uncle, everyone, since you are not willing to take a stand, I will take a stand first. In the future, the Li Family will not participate in the affairs of the Chang 'an Family."
As expected, the Li Family was really straightforward.
