Those years, those jokes, those scum

Chapter 230: Brilliant Life, Nothing Can Replace It 5

You said, will people help their real blood relatives or will they be more willing to help people they have been with for many years?

After all, people are emotional animals. A person who has been around for more than 20 years, and a person who suddenly appears. No matter who it is, at least in the early stage, people will tend to be familiar with the person. Unless this person is very unpopular.

Leng Nuan thought. Qin Shuangjiang didn't belong to the second category. But her situation didn't seem to be much better than hers.

The people in the room looked at her with curiosity and inquiry. And they looked at Qin Shuangjiang with disgust and wariness. Even though they were all polite.

Because tonight was just a family dinner for the Qin family, there was no fanfare. Those present were all direct relatives of the family.

Qin's father was the fourth child in the family, with two older brothers, a sister, and two younger brothers. However, one of them settled abroad and the other served in the military, so they did not come today.

The Qin family used to be a well-known and wealthy family. However, due to the extravagance of his grandfather and father, by the time of his generation, the Qin family had already been in name only and heavily in debt. Although the Qin family had many sons and grandsons, the family tradition was not careful. The elders were not capable, and the younger ones were too young, so no one could step forward to take on the responsibility. So Qin's father, who was only in his teens, half voluntarily and half forced by morality, took the position of head of the family.

As the saying goes, good bamboo comes from bad bamboo shoots. Qin's father, who was only a teenager, relied on his unique vision and bold actions, took advantage of the country's good policies, and in just five years, the shaky Qin family came back to life. Then he met his wife while studying abroad, and with Lu Bohan, a capable wife, and the Lu family's huge resources and connections, the Qin family really stood up.

But because of this, the Qin family, who had few skills but many rules, envied and disliked this strong and capable third daughter-in-law. As a result, they also disliked Qin Shuangjiang since childhood.

"Today is a family dinner, everyone, don't be too reserved." Old Master Qin spoke from the main seat. After he picked up his chopsticks, everyone followed suit. During this time, no one spoke. In the huge room, there was only the sound of servants bringing plates and dishes, and even the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding during meals was very quiet. It was clearly a scene of fine wine and delicious food, but it gave people a sense of weirdness.

"Old Four, when are you going to change the household registration for this child?" After finishing the meal, although Mr. Qin was referring to Leng Nuan, his eyes were actually looking at Qin Shuangjiang next to her. The implication was that this "outsider" who came from nowhere should not occupy the Qin family's things.

Hearing this, Leng Nuan suddenly realized a new problem. If she changed her surname to Qin, would she be Qin Nuan in the future? Qin Leng Nuan? Thank you, she didn't want either.

He didn't know what his father, who had been a playboy all his life, was thinking. Qin Haoyue quickly rolled his eyes while holding the frame of his glasses, and replied, "It's already being processed."

Lu Bohan, who was originally unhappy, was amused by her husband's behavior, and the pent-up anger in her heart also dissipated. Forget it, as long as no one bullies her daughters, she will turn a blind eye tonight.

"Since you have made up your mind, just handle it yourself. I am too old to care." Old Master Qin was not very interested in this drama. After all, no matter who was real or fake, she was just a girl. In addition, the fourth son was the head of the family now, so he had to give him some face.

So, before he left, he symbolically gave Leng Nuan a high-quality jade pendant as a token of his recognition of his granddaughter.

After the old man left, the atmosphere became a little more natural. The men of the Qin family went to the study, leaving a bunch of women around Leng Nuan curiously. However, with Lu Bohan in the small living room, they did not dare to ask some sharp questions.

"What do you do for a living, kid?"

The one who was holding Leng Nuan and asking questions was Qin's second aunt, Zhang Lan. Her words and actions showed kindness and care, but the shrewdness and calculation in her eyes were not concealed from Leng Nuan. It was also possible that this fair and tender face made her forget that the girl in front of her was not an eighteen or twenty-year-old white flower who had not experienced society.

"Temporary worker." After thinking about his resume in the past half of his life, Leng Nuan answered truthfully.

"..."

"Kid, you must have suffered a lot outside these years." Zhang Lan paused for a moment and continued.

"It's not hard. My parents are so good to me. Second aunt, where did you come to this conclusion?" Leng Nuan blinked and asked innocently.

"..." I really raised you well. You looked smart, but I didn't expect you to be such a fool. Zhang Lan let go of her hand awkwardly, and the smile on her face became a little strange. She quickly found an excuse and said, "I'll go to the kitchen to prepare some refreshments for everyone."

Lu Bohan and Qin Shuangjiang, who were sitting opposite each other on the sofa, tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Qin Shuangjiang has seen what sincerity is today. There are not many people in the Qin family who can work, but there are a lot of people who can stir up trouble. And Zhang Lan is one of the best. After more than 20 years of getting along with Lu Bohan, she has not been able to do anything to him, but the weird look has made the young Qin Shuangjiang suffer a lot. It is rare to see this smooth-talking person suffer a setback today. Don't mention how happy she is, and even her perception of warmth and coldness has improved a little.

Because of Leng Nuan's behavior, the others no longer dared to speak rashly. They were afraid that this person would kill the conversation as soon as he opened his mouth. And with Lu Bohan watching them, they gave up their original plan and contacted each other when they were alone. So, the smoke of war that had not yet begun, because of their cooperation, turned out to be a happy place.

"Third brother, I advised you at the beginning. Fortunately, this was discovered. Otherwise, when you get old, you will find out that it is not your own child..." Qin Haotian, the eldest brother of the Qin family, shook his head, looking regretful. "You should have another son while you are still young."

"What my eldest brother said is that no matter how successful a man is, if he doesn't have a son, he will have no descendants." Qin Haoming, the second son of the Qin family, echoed beside him. He looked like he was thinking about you, but you didn't listen to his advice.

"Haha, I'm doing fine. I have a lovely and beautiful daughter, and another excellent and capable daughter." Everyone has different ideas and concepts, and Qin Haoyue didn't want to argue with his brother. He tried to smooth things over and skipped the topic.

"Let's not talk about anything else, Fourth Brother, this company's matter..." Qin Haoming threw out the topic and waited for someone to serve as a gun for him.

"Yes, Fourth Brother, this company belongs to the Qin family after all. Shuangjiang is capable, but she is a woman after all, and she will get married sooner or later. I didn't quite agree with it before, and now she is not even a member of the Qin family. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to let her run it?"

Qin Haoyue's eyes darkened, and he said seriously: "Brother, the company's affairs have their own rules and regulations, not to mention that the board of directors is not a decoration. You don't have to worry about this."

"Yes, big brother, the third brother is not a person without sense of propriety. Come on, come on, it's rare for us to get together, let's have a drink tonight." Qin Haoming jumped out to act as a peacemaker. He took one of them in each hand and walked towards his own bar.

This night was really a great harvest. At night, Leng Nuan stood on the balcony on the second floor and couldn't help sighing. Qingming's father, a courageous mother, and a capable little sister. With this combination, what else can she do? ! She felt that it was not impossible to be a rich third generation who lived a life of idleness and waiting for death!

"Don't worry, we don't have much interaction with them on weekdays. We only get together on a few important holidays." Qin Shuangjiang saw Leng Nuan standing alone outside the balcony of the villa. Thinking that she was not used to such things, he kindly comforted her.

"Well, I'm fine. You and my parents are here." When Leng Nuan thought of his bright future, his smile was particularly bright.

Seeing this smile, Qin Shuangjiang couldn't help but smile too, and his tense mind relaxed. Because this eye-catching smile was full of trust.

Perhaps, she and her will get along well in the future. Looking at the bright moonlight in the sky, Qin Shuangjiang had such an idea in his mind.
