Chapter 393 Grandfather Song

For Qin Changan, considering his status, the Spring Festival was a great trouble due to the tradition of paying the New Year visits . He didn’t need to visit many people, but there were quite a lot of people who were eager to meet him . The Spring Festival holiday time was only a few days’ long, so it was impossible to meet all of them, and he had to refuse some of those visits . Usually, Qin Changan went out to pay his visits in the early morning and went home at noon to entertain his guests . The first day of the New Year was significant . It was his present status that allowed him to arrange that day by himself . He had to buzz here and there for the whole day when he was young .

Since Qin Sheng was back, Qin Changan could let his son represent him to entertain the guests . That way, he also declared to everyone that his son was back and was taking his position .

His business rivals had been teasing him for he had no sons to inherit his mantle . Qin Changan was looking forward to see their reactions .

Humans were born to have a desire to excel . Qin Changan couldn’t wait to see his rivals and show off .

Qin Sheng was willing to be arranged by Qin Changan, paying the New Year visits, entertaining the guests and working in his company . That time, Qin Sheng was tame about it .

Qin Sheng was not going to refuse . He didn’t care that much . Though it was delayed, he was sure he deserved it . Additionally, he needed the power to take revenge for Qingyang .

Qin Ran and Qin Sheng prepared some presents and went out . Gongsun arranged an Audi car, which was rather low-profile . There were unspoken rules about the choice of presents and cars for different people, when paying the New Year visit . Gongsun, who had been in charge of all the affairs in the Qin Family for a couple of years, knew about those rules and always followed them, never making any mistakes .

Qin Ran knew a little about the Song Family . Though she didn’t get in touch with the young generation of the Songs often, she visited Grandfather Song along with her father every year . Someone from the Song Family had introduced her to an excellent young man from his family . Qin Ran had met up with the man some times, but they didn’t enter a relationship then . She had sworn that she wouldn’t get married before she found her younger brother . More importantly, she was not content with the man, who had been expected by lots of people .

It disappointed others that Qin Ran and the young man from the Song Family didn’t get married . And then a young lady from the Songs was introduced to Qin Sheng . That lady was as excellent as her cousin, who had a short story with Qin Ran . They had an informal engagement many years before . But the Old Master Song was pleased with it . Qin Changan didn’t say a word about the engagement for it was decided by the two Old Masters . And he didn’t say a word about the fact that Qin Sheng already had a girlfriend .

Qin Changan didn’t want to interfere on Qin Sheng’s relationships with women . He knew about Qin Sheng . Too much interfering might trigger Qin Sheng’s unpleasant feelings and even confrontations, which would worsen their relation . Qin Sheng and Lin Su were deeply in love, and they had experienced a lot of ups and downs . It was impossible for Qin Sheng to abandon Lin Su and choose another woman from the Songs .

But Qin Changan was in a dilemma, for he didn’t want to offend Old Master Song, who had been thinking about that engagement . The only thing Qin Changan could do was to keep silence . Anyway, marriage required the agreement from two sides . He hoped that the young lady from the Songs wouldn’t fall in love with Qin Sheng, and then he would have a reason to talk with Old Master Song .

Qin Changan was clear about the situation . The young lady from the Songs was extraordinary and picky . Honestly, Qin Sheng, at present, was not good to her .

Qin Ran didn’t understand Qin Changan . She knew that Qin Changan was satisfied with Lin Su . Lin Su had been good to Qin Sheng and supported him, to which the Qin Family had no reasons to refuse . Qin Sheng used to be not good enough for Lin Su, but things were currently different . When Qin Sheng was down, Lin Su didn’t leave him and tried her best to support him . How could he abandon her after becoming prosperous?

It was morality .

After listening to Qin Changan, Qin Ran understood her father . It was a real dilemma and there were no better plans . Nobody dared to offend Old Master Song, the senior big shot .

Their only hope then was for the young lady from the Songs to dislike Qin Sheng .

It took only ten minutes to drive from the Qin Family’s siheyuan to the Song Family’s . Qin Ran was familiar with the route . Qin Sheng sat beside her, with his mind wandering . He considered that visit as a mission . He just went to finish that .

“The Song Family and our Qin Family have been getting along well . I heard from Old Dad that grandpa helped Old Master Song twice at critical times . That’s why the Song Family has been good to us,” Qin Ran told the family story to Qin Sheng . She preferred to call their father “Old Dad . ” After all, their father was really getting old .

Qin Sheng nodded, showing that he was listening to her . A new story had just begun . The Qin Family had been prosperous for several decades . The wealth, relationships and other resources would not be given to him easily . He couldn’t take those for he was Qin Changan’s son . And Qin Changan was unable to give Qin Sheng everything, only because Sheng was his son . Qin Changan also experienced those obstacles . He had overcome incredible difficulties when he was young to earn the acknowledgement from the others .

The Song Family’s siheyuan was located in a Hutong alley behind Jingshan . That area was similar to that of the Qin Family’s . Only rich and powerful people lived there . The Qins’ siheyuan had been rebuilt into a two-floored modern house . Conversely, the Songs’ was rather low-profile, maintaining its original and more mysterious style .

It was still early in the morning, but many people were going to and fro . It was the first day of the Chinese New Year . People were busy paying the New Year visits on one street after another . The Hutong alley where the Song Family lived was not narrow . There were two cars parking beside the gate . Qin Ran pulled over, and Qin Sheng got off the car, taking with him the presents they had prepared .

Qin Ran pointed at the grey iron gate and said, “Here we are . We should stay for half an hour . ”

They rang the doorbell . There was a surveillance camera set next to it, and people inside the house checked their identities . Then, a middle-aged man opened the door shortly after .

“Uncle He, happy New Year,” Qin Ran said and smiled to the man approaching .

The man squinted and smiled . “The Old Master is waiting for you . ”

The man nodded to Qin Sheng and took over Qin Sheng’s presents, but asked nothing about who the young man was . Although Qin Sheng was uninvited, the man was still polite to him . The Songs’ house had no casual guests .

The middle-aged man didn’t say other words . He was familiar with Qin Changan, but not with Qin Ran .

Qin Ran said to Qin Sheng with low voice, “He used to be Grandfather Song’s secretary and had worked with him for many years . It isn’t easy to meet Grandfather Song . But with his help, things would be different . ”

That was an unspoken rule in China since ancient times . That man had to be fully trusted by Old Master Song and he had the similar position Uncle Gongsun had in the Qin Family . But what surprised Qin Sheng was that there were policemen guarding the siheyuan . Who on earth was Old Master Song?

The structure of the Songs’ property was similar to that of the Qins’ . They entered the gate, walking to the front yard . There were three cars . They then went along the corridor to the central yard; one main room and two wing-rooms beside it were found . The yard was clean, with flowers and other plants here and there .

At that moment, Old Master Song was sitting at the center of the living room in the main room . He wore a Chinese tunic suit . Three men sat around him . Two of them were at around Uncle He’s age, at their fifties or sixties . The other one was younger than them . He seemed to be at his thirties .

“Someone’s coming . ” Old Master Song was over ninety years old . He was still hale, rather than being blind or deaf like other elderly people .

Other people also heard the sound of steps and paid attention to it . They went there with their important mission .

Uncle He opened the door, drawing their attention . He smiled and said, “Old Master, Ran’s here . ”

Qin Ran and Qin Sheng went into the room after the man . Qin Ran smiled and relaxed . She was familiar with the Songs . When she noticed the young man, she was surprised and felt awkward .

Qin Ran was born and had been brought up by a rich and powerful family . She had seen and gotten along well with a lot of big shots from all walks of life . So, that scene didn’t give her much pressure .

But Qin Sheng was different . He was nervous since he was experiencing that for the first time . The Song Family, which was highly thought of by Qin Changan, was incredibly strong . Before entering the room, Qin Sheng kept taking deep breaths to calm down .

But it turned out to be useless . When he walked into the living room, he felt as if something heavy was placed on his shoulders in one second . The attention from all the people there was aimed at Qin Sheng, telling him that they already knew who Qin Sheng was .

Qin Sheng was shocked by the elderly sitting at the center . He recognized the elderly man in a second and froze .

Most young people might have no idea of that elderly man, but not Qin Sheng . He had seen that face several times on TV, and had never expected to see the man in person .

At that very moment, Qin Sheng fully realized the power of the Qin Family . His imagination was limited by his vision before that day .
