Was this a Feast at Hongmen?
Before the meeting, Song Hesheng thought that as long as he could make the Qin Family give up this marriage, he would not mind humbling himself to Qin Ran. However, he did not expect that after the meeting, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense. Qin Ran's attitude made Song Hesheng very uncomfortable. Song Hesheng could not bear it and had to fight back. The two sides parted on bad terms.
After all, they had always quarreled and never got along peacefully. Otherwise, when the Qin Family was at its peak, the elders of both sides could not get together no matter how hard they tried. If they had been together at that time, there would not have been this marriage between Qin Sheng and Song Hesheng. The Song Family and Song Hesheng would naturally do their best to help the Qin Family.
Qin Ran did not have any good words for Song Hesheng. She had guessed why Song Hesheng wanted to meet her. Song Hesheng had never liked the Qin Family, especially after they broke up. Qin Ran also knew that Song Hesheng did not like Qin Sheng. How could he agree to this marriage? That was why they met.
Unexpectedly, Song Hesheng's attitude was so arrogant. Originally, he was asking for help from others, yet he was still acting high and mighty. He even mocked and humiliated the Qin family and Qin Sheng. How could Qin Ran bear it? Naturally, she had to retort.
The two of them left the cafe at the same time. Song Hesheng was full of anger. Qin Ran was not kind to Song Hesheng. It was estimated that they could not even be friends in the future. Before Qin Ran left, she said, "Hey, Song Hesheng, let me tell you, our Qin Family is determined to get Ruyu's daughter-in-law. I'll see how you can stop her."
After saying that, Qin Ran swaggered off. Song Hesheng was so angry that he almost had a mental breakdown. This time, he really wanted to go against the Qin Family. He didn't believe that he couldn't stop this marriage. As long as Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu didn't get their marriage certificate, he would have a chance.
…
In the evening, Qin Sheng showed up as scheduled. Zhao Anzhi prepared a lot of gifts for him, but they were not excessive. They were all basic etiquettes. If the gifts were too extravagant, the Song Family might be disgusted. After all, the Qin Family was not a nouveau riche, but a big family that had been in Sijiu City for hundreds of years.
Moreover, this was not a betrothal gift. The Qin family would definitely not be stingy on that day. Moreover, Zhao Anzhi had prepared a gift for their first meeting. She would definitely not be stingy when she officially met Song Ruyu.
Zhao Anzhi had already made up her mind. After Qin Sheng went to the Song Family, she would ask him to bring Song Ruyu home in two days. This was a joyous occasion for the Qin Family. After so long, there was finally something good. Zhao Anzhi would take it as a chance to improve her luck.
When Qin Sheng arrived at the residential area where Song Ruyu's parents lived, Song Ruyu was already waiting at the gate of the residential area. It didn't look like an ordinary residential area. Qin Sheng asked the others to wait outside while Chang Baji and the others helped him carry the things down. Seeing so many things, Song Ruyu frowned and said, "Why did you buy so many things?"
Song Ruyu wore her hair in a ponytail as usual. She wore slippers, sports pants, and a short-sleeved shirt. Her parents complained that she was too casual, but Song Ruyu didn't pay attention to them. She wore whatever was comfortable for her.
Qin Sheng was dressed more formally. He replied, "I can't come empty-handed. But these are all prepared by my aunt. She said that it's my first time visiting your house, so I must be polite."
Song Ruyu shook her head and smiled bitterly. "Well, it's up to you."
Chang Baji and Brother Wu accompanied Qin Sheng and Song Ruyu into the residential area. They carried the things and Song Ruyu and Qin Sheng walked in front. When the guard saw Song Ruyu holding Qin Sheng's arm, his eyes almost popped out. He knew that the daughter of the Song family was very outstanding. It was said that many people came to propose marriage, but the Song couple did not like them at all. He didn't expect that she would bring her boyfriend home today. How could the guard not be surprised?
Therefore, it didn't take long for the entire residential area to know that the Song family's daughter was taken. Many families in the residential area would sigh. However, judging from the extravagance of the Song family's boyfriend, he was obviously not from an ordinary family.
Chang Baji and Brother Wu walked Song Ruyu and Qin Sheng downstairs. Qin Sheng carried all the things. Song Ruyu wanted to share some of the burden, but Qin Sheng refused. He couldn't let Song Ruyu's parents have a bad impression of him. After all, he didn't know how strong the Song family's resistance was. He didn't know how to deal with this Hongmen Banquet.
After Song Ruyu rang the doorbell, the Song couple, who were already restless, looked at each other. Song Ruyu's mother quickly walked to open the door.
After opening the door, Song Ruyu chuckled. "Dad, Mom, Qin Sheng is here."
Song Ruyu's mother hurriedly greeted them. "Oh, Qin Sheng is here. Come in, come in."
"Hello, Auntie." Qin Sheng greeted her nervously.
He had always thought that this was a Hongmen Banquet, so the more enthusiastic Song Ruyu's parents were, the more worried he was. If Song Ruyu's parents had treated him coldly, Qin Sheng would have thought it was normal. After all, he had stolen their daughter. He had been treated like this when he was in the Lin family.
"Why did you buy so many things? What a waste." Song Ruyu's mother complained when she saw the big and small bags in Qin Sheng's hands. However, she still accepted them politely. She even reprimanded Song Ruyu and asked her to lead Qin Sheng inside.
Song Ruyu's father was sitting on the sofa. As a man, he had to be dignified. Moreover, he used to be a leader. Therefore, after Qin Sheng entered and greeted him, he just said casually, "Sit down."
After Qin Sheng sat down, Song Ruyu poured a glass of water for him. Her father stared at Qin Sheng for a while and said, "The last time I saw you was during the Spring Festival. We didn't talk much."
Song Ruyu's mother muttered, "What's there to talk with an old man like you? You scolded Qin Sheng a lot when he was a kid. Do you remember?"
Song Ruyu's father said casually, "That was many years ago. I don't remember."
Qin Sheng just smiled and didn't say anything.
Song Ruyu's mother sighed with sadness as she said, "When you were little, you always cheated on Ruyu. I didn't expect that you would be together when you grew up. Your mother liked Ruyu the most and even said that she would let Ruyu be her daughter-in-law. It's a pity that your mother can't see it. But if she knew, she would be happy." She had a good relationship with Qin Sheng's mother at that time because both of their families lived in the same courtyard and they often met each other.
Song Ruyu's father said angrily, "What are you talking about?"
Song Ruyu's mother replied, "I'm just saying. You don't want me to talk about it."
Song Ruyu's father snorted and said, "Besides, we haven't agreed yet. How can we become the daughter-in-law of the Qin family?"
Song Ruyu's mother retorted, "Both Old Master and Ruyu have agreed. What's the use if you don't agree? If you're so smart, you can find a son-in-law that both the Old Master and Ruyu agree with. Don't you know how old our daughter is? Even if you don't worry about her, I will. "Song Ruyu's mother retorted.
Song Ruyu's father didn't expect that his wife would stand on Qin Sheng's side so quickly. Was this the legendary mother-in-law who liked her son-in-law more and more? This was the first time. When Qin Sheng first heard the news, his wife was very against it. How could she change her attitude so quickly?
Song Ruyu was used to her parents' quarreling. Sometimes she found it interesting. However, she liked quiet and didn't want to listen to her parents' nagging. So she lived outside early. Her parents often criticized her for this.
Qin Sheng was a little surprised. He thought it was a Hongmen Banquet. He didn't expect that Song Ruyu's parents would fight with each other after they entered the house. Was it a smokescreen?
Song Ruyu's father had to say, "All right, all right. I can't argue with you. Go and cook."
Song Ruyu's mother happened to be absent today. Song Ruyu's mother also wanted to cook by herself. It was not until then that she remembered that it was late. She went to prepare dinner first. They could talk about it later when they were having dinner. After all, there was still a lot of time.
After Song Ruyu's mother left, Song Ruyu also left to help. Although she didn't know how to cook and the food she cooked was not very delicious, it was good for her to help. Qin Sheng's father happened to have a chat with her.
Qin Sheng was not familiar with Song Ruyu's father's temper, so he didn't know how to talk to him. However, Song Ruyu's father took the initiative to ask, "How is your family now?"
Hearing this, Qin Sheng said slightly seriously, "There is no new progress so far. But we have prepared a team of lawyers. Anyway, the Qin family has to face it."
Song Ruyu's father sighed and said, "When your father chose this path, I tried to persuade him, but he didn't listen. Now he is in trouble. He has attracted too much attention these years."
Qin Sheng replied quietly, "There are many things about the Qin Family that I may not know. However, if he is really guilty, this is the price he should pay. The Qin Family has no complaints. However, if it is someone else who set him up, the Qin Family will also persist to the end."
"How do you know that?" Song Ruyu's father asked in reply.
Qin Sheng thought for a while and replied, "As long as there are interests, there will be intrigues. Moreover, the Chang 'an family has internal and external troubles."
Song Ruyu's father didn't say anything more. After all, there were too many aspects involved. He knew that he had to write the inside story. At this time, he asked, "The Qin family and the Song family are old friends. You don't have any complaints that the Song family didn't help you, do you?"
"No, it's reasonable. The Zhu family didn't help me. I don't have any complaints." Qin Sheng answered truthfully.
Song Ruyu's father was very happy that Qin Sheng said so. As for what he was thinking, he didn't know.
At this time, there was a sudden cry from the kitchen. It turned out that Song Ruyu's mother had hurt her hand while cutting vegetables. The two men hurried to get up and go in. Fortunately, it was not serious. Qin Sheng helped to deal with it. Song Ruyu's father complained for being so careless. It seemed that he couldn't cook anymore and could only go out to eat.
At this time, Qin Sheng said, "Let me do it."
Song Ruyu's parents were a little surprised. They didn't expect that Qin Sheng could cook. They subconsciously looked at their daughter and asked Qin Sheng with their eyes.
Qin Sheng was half an expert in cooking. Naturally, he said confidently, "Don't worry." Song Ruyu didn't believe him.
However, Song Ruyu's parents didn't agree at first. They didn't agree until Qin Sheng persuaded them. How could he miss this opportunity to show off?
In this way, what was supposed to be a Hongmen Banquet turned out to be a feast for the Song family.
…
While Qin Sheng was in Beijing, Lin Su, who was far away in Shanghai, didn't have a good time. Everyone found that Lin Su was a little absent-minded these days until Xue Qingyan found her …
