Chapter 453 We Will Get Married in Half a Year

Back in Ningbo, Qin Sheng had told Lin Su some information about his family members randomly, for example, his grandpa, who had been a prestigious leader, had passed away many years ago; he had a super-rich tyrant boss who was mysterious; his uncle was a general who had three stars embedded on the shoulders of his uniforms; his Small Uncle was popular in the political field in Shanghai; and so on.

However, never had Qin Sheng told her the specific identities of his relatives. Since what he had said was vague, Lin Su could not figure out who they were, let alone their specific identities. However, after she recognized who Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt was today, she gradually figured out who Qin Sheng’s specific relatives were in an instant.

Since the middle-aged woman, whose temperament was extraordinary, was Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt, of course, his Small Uncle was the tycoon who had just taken charge of the municipal government recently. Since the family name of Qin Sheng’s Small Aunt was Zhu, if Lin Su dug deep into her family background based on her husband’s family background information, it would be self-evident who Qin Sheng’s grandpa was. Following that, it would be clear who Qin Sheng’s uncle was.

As Lin Su summarized the clues one after another, she learned the specific identities of those so-called tycoons in Qin Sheng’s previous words. Moreover, she understood more how magnificent Qin Sheng’s family background was, as well as why Qin Sheng had been able to mobilize so many resources in Ningbo.

However, the only thing Lin Su didn’t know was who Qin Sheng’s father was. After all, those people she had thought of didn’t have much connection with Qin Sheng’s father. Lin Su could not figure out the identity of Qin Sheng’s father at the moment.

Nobody noticed the subtle change of the looks in Lin Su’s face and eyes. Even though Lin Su had been mentally prepared early on, she was somewhat astounded after she found out who Qin Sheng’s relatives were. Back when she had just known Qin Sheng at the beginning, he had been an ordinary man without any outstanding family background. However, when it came to the family background, Qin Sheng stood at the top level of the pyramid now. There was a huge difference between his current family background and his previous one. Nobody would dare to imagine this kind of situation would happen in reality.

Zhu Qingwen, who noticed that the confused look in Lin Su’s eyes, asked with a smile, “Lin Su, what are you thinking about? Why didn’t you eat some food?”

It was not until Lin Su heard what Zhu Qingwen said that she came to her senses and replied, “Auntie, it occurred to me suddenly that I met you in Shanghai previously.”

Zhu Qingwen replied thoughtfully, “Oh? When? Why didn’t I have any impression of you?” Her reply was a polite one. Since she participated in some academic and philanthropic activities frequently, it was no wonder that Lin Su had met her previously. Moreover, as a professor at Fudan University, she had imparted her knowledge to many students.

Lin Su replied honestly, “Last fall. The charity organization under the charge of Uncle He held a party in Yuerong Manor. You were also there. It just so happened that I was one of the organizers of the charity organization. So I met you at that time.”

Zhu Qingwen replied half-playfully, “Oh, that was last year. I am too old to keep everything in my mind. However, since we will meet each other every day in the future, I won’t forget you again.”

Instead of helping Lin Su connect with others on the scene, Qin Sheng let Lin Su take the initiative to talk with his Small Aunt and others. In his opinion, the kind of direct conversation like this could draw those conversing closer. Moreover, females would surely have more topics in common.

Most interestingly, Qin Ran, Xue Qingyan, and Lin Su all specialized in financial investment. What they talked about was quite interesting. Since Zhu Qingwen knew the economic situation as well as the development of the industry quite well, they had an in-depth conversation.

Qin Sheng was busy chatting randomly with Zhu Jiayou. Since he would show Song Ruyu around in Shanghai a few days later, Zhu Jiayou, a local rich playboy in Shanghai, would know more about Shanghai than Qin Sheng.

At last, the atmosphere was not as cheerless as it was in the beginning. After they started a conversation, they talked about whatever they wanted. In order to sit closer to Lin Su, Zhu Yi swapped seats with Qin Sheng directly.

Qin Sheng looked helpless. Xue Qingyan said half-playfully, “All sufferings have their rewards. You finally get the rewards.”

Qin Sheng sighed emotionally as he replied, “Kind of. I hope everything can be fine in the future.”

At that moment, Zhu Qingwen, who suddenly thought of the topic from the start of the family dinner, said, “Lin Su, since you and Sheng’er have been together for a long time as well as gone through many ups and downs, when do you plan to get married? Although Sheng’er’s mother, my sister, passed away many years ago, as your Small Aunt, I surely need to worry about you more.”

Everybody on the scene stared at Lin Su subconsciously and waited for her answer, thinking that Lin Su’s answer might not disappoint them. After all, right now, the difference between her identity and that of Qin Sheng had been transformed fundamentally.

However, Qin Ran felt somewhat nervous. Although her Small Aunt was urging Qin Sheng and Lin Su to get married, her old man might not necessarily agree with her. Based on the current situation, since her father had taken the initiative to pave the way for Song Ruyu, he was more inclined to ask Qin Sheng to choose Song Ruyu over Lin Su. However, in order not to make the relationship between him and Qin Sheng worse, which had reached a deadlock, he did not put pressure on Qin Sheng.

It was unknown whether it was because Lin Su had drunk some red wine or she felt somewhat shy that she was slightly blushing. She lowered her head slightly and stared at Qin Sheng as she said, “Auntie, in my opinion, anytime is OK. However, it depends on Qin Sheng’s thoughts.”

For any woman, getting married was the most anticipated and beautiful moment in her life. Lin Su was no exception. She had known Qin Sheng for several years and had been together with him for a year and a half. They had experienced whatever should take place in reality. Or to be more exact, they had experienced more than others. Speaking of the friends surrounding Lin Su who were of the marrying age, they had either gotten married because of their age or gotten things ready before they officially got married. Consequently, Lin Su certainly had thought of getting married as well. However, never had she taken the initiative to bring it up to Qin Sheng. After all, when it came to getting married, she would rather care about Qin Sheng’s opinion more than put too much pressure on him. She had done so previously, knowing that Qin Sheng had kept many things in his mind; for example, he intended to work hard, rise up high in society, and have an outstanding career before taking getting married into account. Although Qin Sheng had not confessed some of his thoughts to Lin Su, she had well known in secret that Qin Sheng wanted to prove himself, show others that her choice was right, and provide her with a happy and comfortable life before he brought up the thought of getting married.

Men and women had their respective considerations. For Lin Su, as long as she could go on her life’s journey with Qin Sheng, she would be satisfied. If she had considered the external conditions, she would not have chosen Qin Sheng previously. She really did care about what Qin Sheng’s thoughts were.

After Lin Su finished her words, everybody on the scene understood her opinion. Zhu Yi could not help saying, “Cousin, since Susu said so, you should state your position clearly.”

Zhu Jiayou joined in the fun as he said, “Cousin, when will you get married? I’m ready to be your best man. Since I’m so handsome, I certainly would not disgrace you.”

Qin Ran stared at Qin Sheng peacefully. Of course, she had hoped that Qin Sheng could get married as soon as possible. After all, she only had one brother. However, deep inside her heart, she felt somewhat contradictory. The look in Xue Qingyan’s eyes was disappointing. Even so, she also hoped that the lovers could be united in wedlock.

Zhu Qingwen said, “Sheng’er, what do you think?”

Qin Sheng did not keep anything in the dark as he replied honestly, “Small Aunt, ever since the moment I met Lin Su, I have been looking forward to the day I get married to her. Consequently, we will get married sooner or later. However, I would like to get some things done before getting married.”

Lin Su, who understood what Qin Sheng had said, looked somewhat disappointed. Qin Ran was somewhat relaxed. Others did not overthink it. However, following that, Qin Sheng said, “Well, we won’t get married until at least half a year.”

After Qin Sheng disclosed the detailed period when they possibly would get married, Lin Su smiled instantly. The look in her eyes was gentle and expectant. However, Qin Ran became nervous. What Qin Sheng had said meant only half a year remained. She would accept whatever choice Qin Sheng would make half a year later gladly.

As Zhu Qingwen heard what Qin Sheng had said, she smiled radiantly and said happily, “Well, then as your Small Aunt, I should be prepared in advance. Your wedding will be the most important thing in our family this year, which should be done perfectly.”

After they were done discussing Qin Sheng and Lin Su’s marriage, the family dinner was about to come to an end. Since Qin Sheng and Lin Su had just come back to Shanghai today, Zhu Qingwen had not arranged any follow-up. After all, they had been troubled greatly by what had happened in Ningbo.

On the way back to Shimao Riviera Garden, Lin Su was in a good mood because it turned out that the atmosphere of the family dinner was not as tense as what she had imagined, and what she had expected had not taken place at all, making her completely relieved. It was clear that Qin Sheng’s family members were quite satisfied with her. Otherwise, they would not have asked when they would get married. Meanwhile, Qin Sheng’s family members were amiable and easy-going, making Lin Su less concerned.

After they got back to Shimao Riviera Garden, Qin Sheng lay on the couch and said randomly, “Honey, from now on, this is our home in Shanghai. I will accompany you to go shopping tomorrow so that we can furnish our house beautifully.”

Lin Su replied amusedly, “We don’t need to buy anything else since sister has prepared whatever we need in the house.”

Although Lin Su had only met Qin Sheng’s sister twice, she thought of her as a sophisticated and extremely smart woman. Lin Su thought that she needed to get along with Qin Ran well in the future.

Qin Sheng, who was complacent, replied smilingly, “My sister loves me the most. You can enjoy happiness and fortune with me in the future.” After all, nobody had cared about him at all previously. But now, he was a treasure of both the Zhu Family and Qin Family. Of course, the family members in those two families would certainly like Lin Su better because of Qin Sheng.

Lin Su glared at Qin Sheng and said roughly, “You are showing off.”

Qin Sheng stood up, pulled Lin Su into his arms, and threatened her with a smirk on his face. “What did you say?”

Lin Su replied disapprovingly, “Nothing at all.”

Qin Sheng turned around, pressed Lin Su on the sofa, and smiled nastily as he said, “It seems that as your husband, I should implement the family law.”

Lin Su sensed what Qin Sheng was going to do and begged for his forgiveness in a hurry. “Honey, I was wrong.”

Qin Sheng smiled unscrupulously as he said, “It is too late to admit your mistake now.”

After Qin Sheng finished his words, he kissed Lin Su’s tempting lips eagerly. By the time Lin Su came to her senses, she had been indulged in Qin Sheng’s kisses. Following that, she responded gently to Qin Sheng’s teasing. Since they were a long-time married couple, they were quite familiar with these things related to intercourse between men and women. Soon, a heavenly and tantalizing sound rang out across the room.

By the time the sunshine shone on Qin Sheng’s face, Lin Su was not by Qin Sheng’s side. Since they had been making love with each other crazily until midnight, Qin Sheng was exhausted. However, he had gotten a reward, which was that Lin Su was no longer as reserved as before. However, Qin Sheng still needed to educate her more gradually.

Since Lin Su had told Qin Ran yesterday that she would register at the company today, of course, she kept her promise in mind. When the dinner was over yesterday, she had talked with Qin Ran and exchanged the specific contact method with her. So right now, Lin Su was on her way to work.

Back when Chang Baji had sent them home last night, he parked the car in the underground garage. However, on her first day to work, Lin Su neither drove nor ordered a taxi. Instead, she went to the company by bus, as she had done in Shanghai previously. After all, she had kept in mind the public transport system information in Lujiazui.

The company was located in the World Financial Center. It was not until Lin Su arrived at the entrance of the World Financial Center that she dialed through her sister’s number. Qin Ran, who had arrived at the company, asked Lin Su to wait there for a while, saying that she would send someone downstairs to pick her up.

Soon, Qin Ran’s secretary found Lin Su. After she greeted Lin Su, she led her into the World Financial Center and took the elevator up to the floor where the company lay directly.

The company of the Qin Family in Shanghai occupied three entire floors of the World Financial Center, indicating that the scale of the company’s business was quite large. Moreover, the company here was just a subsidiary of the Qin Family in Shanghai. Compared with the headquarters on Jianguomen Dajie Street in Beijing, the company in Shanghai was not worth mentioning.

After Lin Su went out of the elevator, of course, she saw the name of the company, which was universally known in the financial industry of China. She subconsciously thought of those rumors behind the scenes of the company as well as the extremely mysterious tycoon.

It so happened that the family name of the mysterious tycoon was Qin. Lin Su could not help guessing the identity of the tycoon.
