Chapter 298 - 298: Third Brother Is Just Telling You That Qin Lu Is Too Shameless
After a small episode, the atmosphere relaxed.
Dinner was very enjoyable.
Shen Junqing’s eloquence and his charming style, which didn’t irritate people, made him more easily become the center of attention compared to the aloof and reserved Qin Lu. People found him likable.
Due to the fact that he might be her eldest grandson’s potential competitor, Old Madam Qin was relatively distant towards him.
But after a meal, Qin Shiyu and Shen Junqing got along quite well.
They even exchanged WeChat contact information.
When Nan Yan accompanied Shen Junqing and Qin Lu as they left, Old Madam Qin called Qin Shiyu over.
“Shiyu, do you have a favorable impression of that Shen Junqing?”
Qin Shiyu blushed and said, “Grandmother, what are you talking about? I just met Shen Third Young Master for the first time, and we happened to get along well!”
“Then, it means you don’t dislike him,” Old Madam Qin said with a serious tone. “Shivu, young people should interact with peers more. You see, you don’t even have any friends of the opposite sex around you. Your eldest brother has also said that this Shen Junqing is not bad. In the future, you can chat with him more.”
Qin Shiyu.
Qin Shiyu’s face was full of question marks.
Then, as if realizing something, she said in disbelief, “Grandmother, tell me the truth, are you doing this because you think Yanyan and Shen Third Young Master have a good relationship, and you’re afraid he will become an obstacle on Big Brother’s path to pursuing Yanyan, so you deliberately pushed your granddaughter out?”
Old Madam Qin:
Ahem…
She did think that way.
However, she didn’t necessarily want Qin Shiyu and Shen Junqing to develop into what Qin Lu and Yan Yan had.
Young people should make more friends, and that was a good thing in itself. If she could divert Shen Junqing’s attention away from Nan Yan, that would be even better…
But she couldn’t admit to this.
“What are you thinking?” Old Madam Qin glared at her. “I’m just suggesting that you make more friends your age. As for matters of the heart, it’s up to you to decide.”
Old Madam Qin’s attitude towards her grandchildren’s relationships had always been laissez-faire.
As long as the person chosen could stand on their own and was someone they liked, she didn’t care about things like social status or family background.
Because with the Qin family’s background, there was no need to use marriage alliances to win over other families.
Qin Shiyu bit her lip and tentatively asked, “Grandmother, if I really decide to date Shen Third Young Master, will you not stop me?”
Old Madam Qin: “It’s just dating, not getting married. I won’t stop you.” Qin Shiyu:
Fine, she understood. Her grandmother’s intention was simply to remove the obstacles for her older brother.
When it came down to it, she was just a pawn in this game.
But…
Qin Shiyu thought that Shen Junqing was indeed an interesting man.
So why not give it a try?
Due to Old Madam Qin staying at the old mansion, Nan Yan came home earlier from school every day.
And each time, it was Oin Lu who picked her up, and then they would return to
the old mansion together. After having dinner there, he would go back to the
hotel on his own.
Shen Junqing, seemingly intentionally causing trouble for Qin Lu, began joining for dinner every evening since that day.
With more interactions, Shen Junqing and Qin Shiyu’s conversations became more casual.
On this day, as usual, Nan Yan accompanied Qin Lu and Shen Junqing as they left the old mansion.
Qin Lu went ahead, and after Shen Junqing drove out, he stopped by Nan Yan’s side and rolled down the car window.
Nan Yan knew he had something to say, so she walked over to him.
Shen Junqing lazily propped his arm on the car window, his eyes filled with a frustrated and mocking tone. “Sis, that guy Qin Lu is really devious.”
“Hmm?” Nan Yan didn’t quite understand the meaning behind Shen Junqing’s words.
“Never mind. Third Brother just wants to tell you that Qin Lu is too shameless.”
To divert his attention away from Nan Yan, he even used his own younger sister. That’s really shameless!
Nan Yan:
She knew that Qin Lu was quite shameless, but why did Shen Junqings words sound like he had something else in mind?
“Third Brother, it seems like you have a strong opinion about him.”
“Hmph… Well, right from the start, I didn’t like him.”
Nan Yan was speechless.
If he had such a strong opinion, yet they could still cooperate, it was quite interesting.
“Remember the promise you made to Third Brother. After you’re done with your busy schedule, we should go have some fun.”
Nan Yan nodded expressionlessly, “Hmm.”
Then she suppressed her emotions and asked, “Third Brother, have you been too free these days?”
Coming over for dinner every day and competing with Qin Lu felt like he was eating and living here.
Shen Junqing rolled his eyes playfully and said, “What do you mean by too free?
It’s just that you’re not available, so Third Brother can only come to find you.”
“But tomorrow, Third Brother has something to do, so I probably won’t have time to come.”
“Oh…”
Tomorrow was Saturday, and she also had to go back to the capital.
Old Madam Qin and Qin Shiyu were going back with her.
If she didn’t return soon, the Qin family over there would probably go crazy.
After saying what needed to be said, Shen Junqing waved to Nan Yan and stepped on the gas, driving away from the old mansion.
Nan Yan watched the car leave before turning back to find Old Madam Qin and the others.
After Shen Junqing left the gate of the old mansion, he saw a black Rolls-Royce parked by the side of the road and couldn’t help but sneer.
He had already guessed that this guy was waiting for him here. He drove over, parked the car, and got out.
“Young Master Qin, were you waiting for me on purpose?”
Shen Junqing had a faint smile on his face and an air of nonchalance that was deeply charming.
His hand rested casually on the car behind Qin Lu, and from a distance, it looked like he was leaning against the car to confront Qin Lu.
However, in reality, the two of them weren’t face-to-face. There was a gap of at least twenty centimeters between them.
Qin Lu slowly exhaled a puff of pale smoke, then flicked the ash off his fingertips and crushed it. He then leaned into the car to retrieve a neatly bound document. “These things are for you.”
“What things?”
Shen Junqing took them and opened them casually.
Under the streetlight, he could see the contents of the documents clearly.
The nonchalant smile on his face gradually faded away.
“Why are you giving me this?” Shen Junqing looked at Qin Lu with seriousness and gravity.
“In consideration of Yan Yan’s face, I’m doing you a favor,” Qin Lu’s handsome face carried a hint of coldness. “At market price, I’m giving you a twenty percent discount. Remember to make the payment.”
“Okay, I’ll transfer the money to you shortly,” Shen Junqing gladly accepted his terms. He packed up the documents and smiled faintly. “Regardless, thanks for this.”
“In appreciation of your help this time, I won’t tell Yanyan next time that you’re shameless.”
Qin Lu’s initially indifferent expression instantly turned dark, and he reached out to grab the documents back. “Give me back what’s mine.”
“You said it, it’s mine now. Young Master Qin, next time we meet, I’ll treat you to a meal as a thank-you.”
“Get lost.”
Qin Lu coldly replied with a single word, then got into the car and slammed the door shut, leaving Shen Junqing in a cloud of exhaust fumes..
