Xie Hen had clarified this matter because he did not want to bring trouble to Qin Sheng.
Those girls did not expect Xie Hen to stop and talk to them. One had to know that back then, Xie Hen had been very cold and aloof to the girls. He had never paid any attention to them.
For a moment, they were flattered. “Yes, I’m sorry. We thought wrong.”
Xie Hen nodded and left with one hand in his pocket.
“Campus Hunk Xie actually stop to talk to me. But, are you serious? Are they just friends?”
“Friends can also become lovers, but let’s not discuss this matter for the time being. We don’t want to upset the campus hunk.”
“What you said makes sense, but I always feel that Campus Hunk Xie likes the campus belle. Look at the way he looks at the campus belle. I wouldn’t believe it even if he said he doesn’t like her. He clarified this matter to us because he doesn’t want to bring trouble to the campus belle. That’s too considerate.”
“Right, don’t look at the campus hunk who doesn’t like women. Isn’t it better this way? He’s very clean. Being liked by him is too blissful for the campus belle.”
“…”
Xie Hen wasn’t clear about the discussion of these girls.
He returned to the classroom for class and was absent-minded. Even when Fang Ke talked to him, Xie Hen ignored him.
Fang Ke could see that Xie Hen was in a bad mood, so he didn’t dare to disturb him anymore.
In the afternoon, Qin Sheng stayed in the laboratory.
The next morning, she also went to the laboratory. At noon, Qin Sheng tidied up and went to the cafeteria.
On the way, Old Master Lin stopped her.
Ever since he met Qin Sheng last time, Old Master Lin Hao had fallen in love with Qin Sheng. However, he was stubborn and unwilling to admit it, so he could not bring himself to come and look for Qin Sheng.
He had thought that Lin Haocheng would bring Qin Sheng back to the Lin family.
Unexpectedly, he had waited for more than a week and still hadn’t seen her.
Thus, he couldn’t hold it in any longer and personally came to look for Qin Sheng.
When Qin Sheng saw Old Master Lin, she raised her eyebrows and asked, “Grandfather, what’s the matter?”
Old Master Lin coughed. “I’m here to thank you. Sheng Sheng, right? Can I call you that?”
Qin Sheng nodded. “You can call me anything.”
“You can call me Grandfather. My surname is Lin,” Old Master Lin said bluntly.
Qin Sheng’s heart trembled. “You…”
She had thought of meeting other members of the Lin family besides Lin Haocheng, but she had not expected it to be so soon.
“Let’s talk, shall we?”
Old Master Lin and Qin Sheng found a quiet place.
Old Master Lin sat on the bench while Qin Sheng stood to the side in silence.
Old Master Lin sighed and said, “Sheng Sheng, I’m sorry. I haven’t looked for you all these years. I think I should tell you about what happened between Lin Shuya and the Lin family.”
Qin Sheng lowered her eyes and looked at the tip of her shoe.
“Lin Shuya is my daughter. She has been spoiled by my family since she was young. She was charmed by Qin Hai less than a year after she went to university. I sent people to investigate Qin Hai. Qin Hai is a vain man. He was not pure when he was with Lin Shuya.”
Old Master Lin’s eyes were red. “At that time, my family tried to persuade Lin Shuya, but Lin Shuya was stubborn. When the Lin family was in danger, Lin Shuya would often go back to the Lin family to withdraw money. In the end, she even wanted to take 10 million yuan.”
Qin Sheng was very surprised. She knew that Lin Shuya was not clear-minded, but she did not expect Lin Shuya to help outsiders trick her parents.
“At that time, the Lin family had no money, and we couldn’t gather 10 million, so we could only sell the house. At that time, I gave Lin Shuya two choices. One was to leave the Lin family with 10 million, and the Lin family would have no relationship with her in the future. The second choice was to break up with Qin Hai.”
