Strongest Counterattack

Chapter 451 “Am I More Beautiful?” “Aren’t You?”

Since Qin Sheng had dared to go to Ningbo, it meant that he had made up his mind that he would not avoid anybody. After all, such a great scene had been made. Those enemies of Qin Sheng’s must have known what he had done in Ningbo. Even so, Qin Sheng would not give a damn about them at all, whom he had to get revenge on sooner or later. However, currently, Qin Sheng did not have time for them. If they took the initiative to confront him in person recklessly, he would not mind dealing with them conveniently at all.

Qin Sheng was no longer what he used to be, who had had no choice but to defend himself passively. Currently, Qin Sheng took control of the initiative to launch an attack. Moreover, the difference between his capability and that of his enemies had been transformed qualitatively. Right now, it was Qin Sheng who had the upper hand.

Yan Chaozong had known that Qin Sheng had come back and that it was Qin Sheng who had caused all the trouble in Ningbo. At that moment, the gang members in Hangzhou were investigating what had happened in Ningbo as well, especially Third Master Wu, who had been living on Mount Putuo for a long time exclusively. Since such a great issue had happened under his nose, of course, he was greatly concerned.

It was not until 4 p.m. that the old lady woke up in the old-style villa on Sinan Road. Qin Sheng, who was free and at leisure, was chatting with the medical staffers there, inquiring about how it was going with his grandmother’s health condition, which was his greatest concern currently. After all, he was unwilling to see the kind of situation taking place in which his grandmother would part from him when he had hardly just reconciled with her.

Two pairs of medical staffers took care of the old lady by changing shifts every other day, who were all experienced and senior nurses from Ruijin Hospital. It was a young woman in her 30s named Xu Lan who was on duty today. Although she was not quite good-looking, she looked quite well preserved. Most importantly, she had a mild temperament.

According to Xu Lan, the blood pressure of the old lady was quite high and something had gone wrong with her heart. Organ failures took place in her body gradually. If her health condition did not worsen, it would be no problem at all for her to live on for several more years. However, nobody could be confident about some things.

The health condition of Qin Sheng’s grandmother was worse than what he had anticipated. However, Qin Sheng was clear about how his grandmother was doing now, making him feel more assertive that he should pursue his future career in Shanghai so that he could have more time to accompany his grandmother, who would not need to always keep him in her mind then. For Qin Sheng, the family connection was the most important thing. He felt especially so while facing his grandmother’s current situation. He did not want to be regretful anymore. After all, he already had many regrets in his life so far.

After his grandma woke up, Qin Sheng chatted with her in the living room and also massaged her shoulders.

With such a filial grandson by her side, the old lady grinned with happiness and said smilingly, “Sheng’er, when did the girl, Ruyu, leave?”

Qin Sheng replied evenly, “She left soon after you fell asleep this afternoon due to some emergency. However, we exchanged contact numbers with each other. I will show her around in the future.”

The old lady nodded quietly and said, “The girl is the Old Master Song’s favorite. You have to take care of her well on my behalf. To be honest, if you did not have a girlfriend, I would be happy to bring you two together. After all, it would be a legendary story if our families cemented the old ties because of your marriage.”

As Qin Sheng heard what his grandmother had said, he did not know whether he should laugh or cry as he replied, “Grandma, don’t confuse who my partner is by mistake. How could I deserve Ruyu?”

The old lady replied unhappily, “What do you mean, Sheng’er? Are other girls from other families out of your league? They should feel happy in secret for being married to you, Sheng’er.”

In the elder’s eyes, their descendants were always the best. Of course, the old lady also thought so. After all, both the family background of the Zhu Family and Qin Family were there. It was true that nobody in Sijiu City dared to say that Qin Sheng did not deserve the girl in their family.

Qin Sheng kept talking with the old lady until it was 5 p.m. Since Chang Baji was waiting for him at the entrance, he greeted the old lady before he left. The old lady was somewhat unhappy, who insisted that Qin Sheng should not leave before he had dinner. It was not until Qin Sheng told her that he had asked others, including his Small Aunt, to eat outside that the old lady agreed to let him go.

In Shimao Riviera Garden, Song Chu and Tan Jing had helped Lin Su choose what she was going to wear at the dinner tonight. In the end, they had gone to the Shanghai International Finance Center and spent only an hour there before they had completed the mission. After all, Lin Su was a born beauty, who would look quite beautiful no matter what she wore.

As Song Chu stared at Lin Su, who was ill at ease, she did not know whether she should laugh or cry as she said, “Susu, you have been together with Qin Sheng for so long a time. There is nothing for you to worry about since you are going there to meet the elders of his family. Moreover, you are so beautiful that his family members will surely be satisfied with you.” She wondered why Lin Su had acted like this. Based on Lin Su’s reaction, it was clear that she loved Qin Sheng sincerely.

Tan Jing, who was sitting by the side of Lin Su, echoed her agreement, “Yeah. Feel free to meet the elders of his family relaxedly and boldly. Nothing will take place.”

Lin Su let out a sigh as she said, “If not for what happened before, I wouldn’t be so anxious now. However, the reason I am somewhat afraid is that his family members know how my family treated Qin Sheng in the past.”

Song Chu replied thoughtfully, “What you said does make sense. To be honest, any elder from any family would be somewhat resentful if they knew how your family treated Qin Sheng. However, seriously, it did not occur to us that Qin Sheng would turn out to be a secretive super-rich kid of a tycoon. Previously, we all thought he did not deserve you. Nobody could know the situation would turn the other way around. Susu, I admire your insight sincerely. Both Tan Jing and I are inferior to you when it comes to insight. However, what I am curious about is why Qin Sheng did not tell you about his family background before. If he had done so, he would not have gone through what happened later.”

Lin Su smiled gently as she replied, “When it comes to some things, you don’t know them well. Life is filled with surprises. He probably did not know what would happen to him at that moment either.”

Song Chu asked with great interest, “Susu, what on earth does Qin Sheng’s family do? Both Jingjing and I know what happened in Ningbo. What happened to Lin Songhao is astounding, let alone what happened to your family.”

Tan Jing, who was displeased with what Song Chu had said, snorted and said, “Song Chu, what is the point of these questions? What matters is that Qin Sheng should be nice to Lin Su. They’ve ended up happily now.”

Lin Su replied casually, “I don’t know either. I probably will know it in the future.”

As the women talked with each other, Qin Sheng opened the door and walked in. After he saw both Song Chu and Tan Jing were there, he was somewhat surprised. To be honest, he was not resentful toward them, who were Lin Su’s two besties. He understood what they had done in the past. After all, all they had done was for the good of Lin Su. They had expected Lin Su to find someone who was her match and deserved her.

After Qin Sheng walked in, he greeted them smilingly as he said, “Well, you two beauties are also here.”

Regardless of how Song Chu had treated Qin Sheng previously, she had changed her attitude toward him completely after that day in Ningbo. Consequently, she teased Qin Sheng smilingly as she said, “Qin Sheng, Great Handsome Qin, although you took Susu from us a long time ago, you still did not treat us yet.”

Qin Sheng replied quite casually, “Haha, haha, these are all petty issues. I wonder when you two great beauties are available. Feel free to choose the date and location. All I need to do is to pay the bill. Since Lin Su just came back to Shanghai, you should take care of her in the future.”

Song Chu replied conveniently, “Then we should rip you off. Never should we be taken advantage of by you.”

Tan Jing, who felt that the time was almost up, frowned slightly, stood up, and said, “Song Chu, time for us to leave. We should not stay here, interrupting them from acting affectionately with each other.”

Song Chu, who was mature and sophisticated, replied, “Susu, then we will leave first. Let’s ask each other out later.”

Lin Su nodded smilingly. After that, she and Qin Sheng walked them out...

After they went back to the living room, Qin Sheng stared at Lin Su, who was meticulously dressed, and smiled as he said, “Honey, why do I feel that you’re suddenly much more beautiful than you were a few days ago?”

Lin Su played dumb on purpose and said, “Am I?” Of course, she would not tell Qin Sheng that she had specifically asked Song Chu and Tan Jing to go shopping with her at the Shanghai International Finance Center for the sake of dinner tonight.

Of course, Qin Sheng knew what was going on. It was clear that Lin Su took the family dinner tonight quite seriously. He replied playfully, “Aren’t you?”

It was almost 6 p.m. at that moment. Instead of delaying any longer, they left and headed for the restaurant where his Small Aunt had booked dinner tonight. It turned out that the restaurant was located along the way to East Gate, which Qin Sheng had visited some time ago. After all, whether it was the dishes or the environment there, the restaurant was good. Moreover, they were quite familiar with it.

At that time, everybody was there except for Qin Sheng and Lin Su. Qin Ran and Xue Qingyan sat on the left side of Zhu Qingwen. The two seats on the right side of Zhu Qingwen were vacant, which were reserved for Qin Sheng and Lin Su. Zhu Qingwen’s daughter and youngest son, who turned out to be Qin Sheng’s elder female cousin and younger male cousin, sat across from her.

At that moment, everybody was chatting with each other smilingly. Of course, the topic of their conversations focused on Qin Sheng and Lin Su.

Although everybody on the scene was familiar with Qin Sheng, some of them, including Zhu Qingwen, who had never seen Qin Sheng’s girlfriend in person, were quite curious about her.

Zhu Jiayou said in a seemingly casual way, “Mom, in your opinion, the girlfriend that my elder cousin found previously, is she acceptable? How about you introduce a new one to him?” Although he did not speak all of his thoughts out, he thought others on the scene should understand what he was thinking about. After all, his elder male cousin had been a nobody previously. Consequently, the girlfriend that he had at that time would not naturally be extraordinary. However, he had a different identity now. Ordinary women surely would not deserve him. Even if he liked his girlfriend so much, the Qin Family and the Zhu Family might not necessarily be satisfied with her.

Zhu Yi said smilingly, “Silly brother, you don’t need to bother to speak these things out. In your opinion, why did our mom set up such a dinner tonight? It surely is to help your elder male cousin check on his girlfriend. If his girlfriend did not even pass the test of our mom, it would not be necessary for her to meet Grandma and Uncle.”

Zhu Jiayou nodded quietly and said, “Oh, it’s like that.”

Zhu Qingwen, who looked distinguished, natural, and graceful, smiled and said, “You should stop guessing randomly. Sheng’er’s girlfriend won’t disappoint you. If she did not deserve Sheng’er, Ran Ran wouldn’t have agreed to let me see her.”

Zhu Jiayou and Zhu Yi looked at each other and thought, “That’s how it is. It’s clear that we thought of the issue from too simple a perspective.”

Qin Ran smiled gently and said, “Although I do know some things, I am not quite familiar with Lin Su. On the contrary, Qing Yan had many communications with her before. They should know each other well.”

Of course, Xue Qingyan knew why she had been invited to the family dinner tonight. It was because she was familiar with both Qin Sheng and Lin Su. In that case, she could help break the ice so that Lin Su would not feel too awkward.

After Xue Qingyan contemplated for a few seconds, she replied, “If we put the family background aside, Qin Sheng and Lin Su should be a golden match in many people’s eyes. However, in my opinion, when it comes to the relationship, we should not only take these things into account. The love between them matters the most. I know how difficult it is for Qin Sheng and Lin Su to be who they are today. They have gone through many setbacks and hardships. Although Qin Sheng and Lin Su sacrificed and gave up many things, they stuck with it to the end. That is the reason why they can be who they are today. If we evaluate their relationship from the perspective of the family background, even though the family background of Lin Su is not as good as that of Qin Sheng right now, back when Lin Su had made up her mind to choose Qin Sheng, there was a huge difference between their family backgrounds at that time. Consequently, everybody around her opposed her choice at that time, thinking that Qin Sheng did not deserve Lin Su at all. Even so, Lin Su proceeded to stick to her choice without hesitation. Never did she feel regretful. That is the most commendable thing about Lin Su.”

After Xue Qingyan finished her words, Zhu Jiayou and Zhu Yi finally understood why their mother had intended to see Qin Sheng’s girlfriend in person. It seemed that their mother had known everything about Lin Su.

Just then, Qin Ran said, “I agree with Qingyan. I also admire Lin Su the most for what she had done for Qin Sheng. In the past years, Qin Sheng had suffered many hardships as well as gone through many things. Even so, never had Lin Su turned her back on him. Instead, she had been standing behind him persistently all the time. She gave up the whole world for the sake of Qin Sheng. Consequently, I think other things do not matter at all.”

After Zhu Jiayou heard Qin Ran’s words, he could not help himself and said, “It did not occur to me that the love story of my elder male cousin and elder sister-in-law would be filled with twist and turns. Then, I would like to see her.”

Hardly had Zhu Jiayou finished his words when Qin Ran’s mobile rang. She stood up smilingly as she said, “They are here.”
