Chapter 416 What?

If Qin Sheng didn’t tell, Zhu Qingwen had no idea of the close relationship between Xue Qingyan and her nephew . And she didn’t expect that Xue Qingyan had helped Qin Sheng so much for which she was grateful to Xue Qingyan . Since that Qin Sheng mentioned, she asked more details, and said if Qin Sheng had time after the Spring Festival holiday, they should meet up with Xue Qingyan, chatting away . He had not met Xue Qingyan for long time and it would be a surprise for Xue Qingyan .

In fact, Zhu Qingwen and Xue Qingyan were not that familiar with each other . Xue Qingyan’s brother and Zhu Qingwen’s husband were both government officials first in Zhejiang Province and then were transferred to Shanghai . They had been colleagues for a long time and they joined in the same faction in the government, getting along well with each other . That was why Zhu Qingwen and Xue Qingyan had contact .

They had met up for a few times in Hangzhou and became closer when they moved to Shanghai . They sometimes participated in some activities, or hung out and drank coffee together . But they were not girlfriends who could talk about anything, and still had some suspicion to their friendship .

Knowing Qin Sheng’s things, Zhu Qingwen had some new ideas of Xue Qingyan . Last night when she got home, she called Xue Qingyan asking her where she was and when she had free time . Xue Qingyan happened to be in Shanghai and was free . She was hiding from somebody . Then they made it on today’s afternoon .

Zhu Qingwen was busy with entertaining guests at home in the daytime, and this was responsibility in the big family . Though Zhu Changshun had reached such a high level as a government official, he still couldn’t escape from social activities . The number of visitors increased a lot since he got a promotion before the Spring Festival . After all, there were some people he couldn’t refuse .

After all the guests left, Zhu Changshun went out . Zhu Qingwen then contacted Qin Sheng and Xue Qingyan respectively, informing them of the place she booked for dinner .

She booked a Shanghai restaurant in Dongdaming Road only accessible to VIPs such as high-leveled government officials and rich people . It only had boxes for frequent visitors . Zhu Qingwen chose this place for its quiet environment and privacy .

Zhu Qingwen arrived first . The restaurant owner came to welcome her, chatting away and having a few laughs . Since her husband was at the top of the pyramid of Shanghai, almost all people were eager to flatter her for some benefits . It was a great fortune for the restaurant to have such a distinguished guest .

The restaurant owner was a middle-aged woman dressing luxuriously, having an elegant and graceful aura . She was a successful businesswoman, had a brisk business and was highly sociable, praised a lot for her sophistication by others .

When Qin Sheng and Qin Ran arrived, the restaurant owner had left . Before she left, Zhu Qingwen asked her to inform the box in advance when Xue Qingyan arrived .

Qin Ran took a seat . “Small aunt, what are you and Qin Sheng planning? Why do you hide from me?”

Zhu Qingwen smiled . “Qin Sheng didn’t tell you? I thought you’d already known . ” For one thing, Qin Sheng wanted to meet this sister who had helped him a lot, after all, he was totally different now . For another, Zhu Qingwen wanted to deliver her gratitude to Xue Qingyan for caring for Qin Sheng .

Qin Ran was particularly curious . She urged Qin Sheng to answer . “Come on . What’s the matter? Why do you hide from me?”

Qin Sheng said, “It’s not a big deal . I wanna meet up with a sister who has helped me a lot, and my small aunt knows her . I wanted to let Small Aunt ask her out after the Spring Festival holiday, but she’s in Shanghai now, so we make it on today . ”

“Oh, I get it . I’m expecting it . I’m curious about the woman who you are honest to call her sister . ” Qin Sheng was kind of jealous since she didn’t like Qin Sheng called other people “sister” . She hoped it was a special title for her .

Qin Sheng couldn’t help but smile . “Sister, you’re jealous . Sister Qingyan really helped me a lot . She even took revenge for me secretly after I escaped from Shanghai . ”

“Oh, well,” Qin Ran thought and said, “Small Aunt, how did you get to know her?”

Zhu Qingwen smiled and explained . “Sheng’er said that we used to meet because of Qingyan . But I had no idea of who he was at that time, so I was unable to recognize him . Anyway, Qingyan was good . Her father was a leader in Zhejiang province . He has retired, but was still influential . His brother got along well with my husband . They used to be colleagues in Zhejiang, and they still work together now in Shanghai . ”

Qin Ran recalled and said, “Xue? I know who she is . She is not easy . I’m quite surprised since she did help Qin Sheng . ”

“She’s coming . ” Zhu Qingwen giggled .

They chatted for a few words . Zhu Qingwen asked something about their New Year call visits . About 10 minutes later, the restaurant owner came in, telling them Xue Qingyan arrived .

“Sheng’er, find somewhere to hide yourself . ” Zhu Qingwen gave Qin Sheng a glance . Qin Sheng had told her that he wanted to give Xue Qingyan a surprise and she agreed .

Qin Sheng gave her sister a glance, saying nothing, and went out of the box . He would stand by the box door, waiting for Xue Qingyan . He couldn’t wait to give his Ms . Cheongsam a big surprise .

After Qin Sheng went out, it didn’t take a long time before the box door was opened again, and the restaurant owner led Xue Qingyan in . “Miss Xue, here’s your box . ”

The restaurant owner didn’t come in . Xue Qingyan said “Thanks”, and she left . Xue Qingyan walked into the box, greeted to Zhu Qingwen . “Sister, sorry for being late . A guest came when I was about to leave . ”

Xue Qingyan dressed herself up, with curly long hair, light makeup, grey suit, coat, and a customized handbag without logo attached . She was even more charming than Qin Ran .

Qin Ran met Xue Qingyan for the first time . She eyed this young lady and nodded . The first sight gave her quite a good impression . But Qin Ran was still wondering why she became friends of Qin Sheng and helped him . Did this young lady fall in love with her younger brother?

Zhu Qingwen and Qin Ran both stood up . Though they didn’t have to do that much out of courtesy due to their family backgrounds, they were still polite to Xue Qingyan for Qin Sheng .

“It’s OK . We just arrived . Did Old Master Xue celebrate the Spring Festival in Shanghai?” Zhu Qingwen asked politely .

Xue Qingyan sighed . “Well, I’ve done a lot for that . My brother is always busy . I tried really hard and finally persuaded my grandfather to come . ”

“People all become stubborn when getting old . ” Zhu Qingwen said and smiled .

Xue Qingyan took a seat and laid her handbag and coat on a chair beside . She eyed Qin Ran . “Sister, who is this?”

Zhu Qingwen pretended like she forgot to introduce . “Oh, this beautiful young lady is my niece, my elder sister’s daughter . She heard a lot about you and admires you very much . She came to Shanghai recently, so I brought her here . For your information, you two both work in the investment area . ”

Xue Qingyan was surprised for the fact that this lady was Zhu Qingwen’s niece . She stood up and shook hands with Qin Ran, chatting for a few words . Qin Ran was a bit uncomfortable since her small aunt said she admired Xue Qingyan . She just heard of Xue for the first time and the Qin Family was among the tops in the areas of business and investment .

But she bore that since Xue Qingyan helped Qin Sheng .

Then the talk went on smoothly . Xue Qingyan and Qin Ran both worked on the area of investment, and had countless topics . Women were easy to make friends once they began chatting away .

When it was time, since Qin Sheng was still waiting outside, Zhu Qingwen said, “By the way, Qingyan, I went to Shangshan Ruoshui a few days ago, and I heard that you quit?”

Xue Qingyan sighed . “Hum, sister, I quit for a long time . Shangshan Ruoshui has changed too much . ”

“What’s wrong? I thought it was nice . I was so impressed by a young man, Qin Sheng, but I’ve never seen him since then . ” Zhu Qingwen put forward the topic .

Xue Qingyan heard the name and recalled some memory, with a sense of sadness in her eyes . She sipped the tea and said, “Qin Sheng? He left Shangshan Ruoshui two years ago . He’s good, and I’ve been appreciating him and treating him as my younger brother . But he’s not a lucky person . Why do you mention him?”

Zhu Qingwen had a strategy to deal with Xue Qingyan’s questions . “A friend of mine knew him . He wonders how Qin Sheng went on, so I’m asking you . ”

Xue Qingyan offered a bitter smile and shook her head . “Sister, don’t mention him anymore . I’m really sorry for him . He treated me as his sister, but I was unable to help him when he got into trouble, and I had no idea of him now . ”

The atmosphere went down at once, while Xue Qingyan’s words made Zhu Qingwen and Qin Sheng feel better about her . The words showed that Xue Qingyan had real feelings toward Qin Sheng .

Zhu Qingwen giggled for her trick and said, “I’m not saying anymore, but my friend also comes today, and he’s going to talk with you . ”

Xue Qingyan was surprised and knew nothing about what would happen .

Qin Sheng, who was outside the door, heard this and knew that it was time to appear . He took a deep breath and opened the door, walking down to them slowly .

Xue Qingyan heard the sound and eyed the door . She was so astonished the moment she saw Qin Sheng walking in that the cup in her hand dropped down to the floor into pieces .
