Chapter 4
Su Qingyin was raised by the old master since childhood, so how could he not know her temperament? Su Qingyin has been showered with love and affection since she was little, possessing a cheerful and lively personality. Usually, she is the one accompanying the old master, making him happy, and it has never been seen that she has had a falling out with anyone.
As Su Qingyin ran out of the house, she felt frustrated; she didn't even have a mobile phone in her pocket, completely devoid of any money. Where could she possibly go?
Su Qingyin hesitated for a moment before slowly making her way into the room
Su Qingyin still held onto Qin Shuang's clothing, her tear-filled eyes scanning the situation. Seeing that the rain had indeed passed and the sky had cleared, she wiped away her tears and responded cheerfully, "Alright, I will visit often"
Su Qingche was just about to stop her when Su Qingyin took off running. Su Qingche, who was quick, didn't even have time to react; when she reached out to grab her, she only managed to touch the corner of her clothing, and then she saw the door behind her slam shut with a "bang".
Upon thinking of this, Master Qin felt a shiver run through him
Su Qingyin was the first to notice the twitching at the corner of his mouth, and she disdainfully rolled her eyes. Taking advantage of the two elderly individuals in front of her bonding, she quickly reached out and gave his waist a sharp twist.
The old gentleman was still in the living room discussing recent political matters with Su's father, when suddenly a door slammed upstairs. Frowning, he saw Su Qingyin running down with red eyes and immediately shouted: "What is going on? Why can't you behave yourself?"
At that time, it was after the college entrance examination when students were filling out their applications. Su Qingyin's major in journalism differed significantly from her mother's envisioned major in astronomy. Su's mother hoped that Su Qingyin would study the same field as her, so that she could assist her in the future. Moreover, the astronomy department at University A is the best in the country, and it even offers benefits for studying abroad in the future.
Master Qin raised an eyebrow and said, "Otherwise, do you think there are no talents in my family to knock on the door?"
That being said, the old gentleman is still wise; he probably wouldn't have the heart to break his ribs before bringing him here.
However, Su Qingyin felt utterly indifferent towards the twinkling, intangible object in the sky, and naturally, she was unwilling to be manipulated. Moreover, since the old man had already expressed his agreement, her opposition would hardly be effective.
Su Qingyin stood coldly under the light, watching Su Ma's trembling lips and ashen face, and suddenly felt an overwhelming sense of grievance. "Aside from giving birth to me, have you ever raised me? Don't come to educate me every time something happens; is this when you finally feel like a mother? You have no right to criticize me if you haven't taught me."
Qin Shuang did not feel this way before, but now he does not know why, he always feels that this girl's matters are intricately connected to him.
Su Qingche had no idea that the little girl was taking shortcuts; in just a few moments, she had run far away, prompting Su to urgently call Qin Shuang.
The streets were bustling with people as she made her way through from the park, heading towards the crowded areas. However, as she wandered aimlessly, she felt increasingly despondent, eventually squatting by the roadside and bursting into tears
Su Qingyin is packing her things, as school will start in a few days. She plans to return to school early
Over time, Su Qingyin no longer pressed the issue, but instead visited Qin Shuang's home every few days, often indulging in desserts or afternoon tea, as if they were family.
During dinner in the evening, it was rare for Su Qingche to be present, and both Dad and Mom had also returned home
Su Qingyin threw the hanger heavily onto the suitcase, saying, "If every time you come back you can only lecture me, then you might as well not come back at all and stay in your laboratory with your data instead"
Su Qingche almost roared as soon as the call was connected, directly shouting: "Hurry up and find Su Qingyin, the person has disappeared"
"If you don't want to see me, then get out." Su's mother glared, looking at Su Qingyin with a look of disappointment and frustration.
Su Qingyin saw that Qin Shuang was truly about to leave this time, and she couldn't help but have the thought of slipping away as well. Her eyes darted around, but in the end, she decided to stand down.
Qin Shuang's face turned pale, and her brows furrowed even tighter, "What is going on?"
Old Master Su has never shied away from this issue, and he has explained it clearly to his granddaughter
Su Qingyin paused for a moment, glanced at Su Ma, and then cleared her throat to say: "I am going back to school"
As soon as Su's mother entered, she saw that the wardrobe had been turned upside down, and a surge of anger immediately erupted.
She wandered aimlessly on the street for a while, not knowing what to do. She couldn't remember anyone's number and couldn't go anywhere.
Qin Shuang could not help but laugh; he had been accustomed to seeing Su Qingyin being dealt with harshly by Old Master Su since he was young. If it were not for the special circumstances, he would have surely mocked that wretched girl at this moment. However, given the current situation—he had not even opened his mouth to speak, and he estimated that he would be beaten to death with a stick.
Seeing her attitude, Su's mother felt her anger rising even more, but after holding it in, she still spoke in a cold tone: "There is still some time before school starts, why are you going over so early? Other children from out of town are not as eager as you..."
Now that I know she is missing, it was almost instinctive for the car to make a U-turn and head towards the courtyard
Su Ma is a researcher, and the number of times she returns home is few and far between. Her relationship with Su Ba is not particularly good, let alone Su Qingyin, who was raised by her grandfather since childhood
He could not help but recall the image of Su Qingyin, with red eyes, knocking on his door in the past, and his gaze grew increasingly profound.
Since then, after Su's mother returned to the courtyard, she has always given a cold shoulder. Coupled with Su Qingyin's estrangement from her, she does not know how to make amends with Xiao Yin, and instead, she has become even more entrenched in the research lab.
Su Qingche's expression suddenly darkened; she glanced at her mother and quickly chased after her.
Currently, I had a falling out with Su's mother and had a quarrel, then I ran to Old Master Qin in tears
Su Qingyin almost nodded, realizing that she only dared to knock on the door after knowing that Old Master Qin had gone out, unaware that Qin Shuang was present.
Su Qingyin was indeed startled and moved back a little, her face showing signs of tension
Although Master Qin Er was covered in injuries, he still looked dashing in his long sleeves. After being severely beaten by Old Master Qin, he felt dejected and just wanted to find a place to drink some wine
Old Master Qin knew that Su Zhe could not swallow this grievance, and a plan formed in his mind, causing him to smile and say, "Xiao Yin, remember to come and play with Grandpa Qin when you have time"
Old Master Su let out a heavy grunt, and his expression grew increasingly unpleasant
Su Qingyin was not afraid of him; she stuck out her tongue and stood there playfully.
Every time Su Qingyin argues with her mother, she only has one move: to storm out the door
However, Su's mother gave her a thorough look from head to toe. It was not appropriate to express her displeasure at the dining table, so she waited until after the meal to go to Su Qingyin's room to have a conversation with her
They had known about this matter for a long time, and now seeing their daughter sitting here safe and sound, they also breathed a sigh of relief
That night, only Qin Shuang was at home. He happened to return to the courtyard and, upon opening the door, saw Su Qingyin curled up against the doorframe, which left him momentarily stunned
Since this afternoon when Su's mother returned, she has not given her a good expression. She naturally knows that her mood is not good, but it is normal for Su's mother to be in a bad mood
Su Ma did not expect Su Qingyin to bring this up, and she was immediately angered, "How can you speak like that? Is it reasonable for you to have a justification after making a mistake? Am I not even allowed to say anything?"
Upon thinking of this, Old Master Su slammed the table, feeling pained at the sight of his precious granddaughter's grievance. "Qingche, hurry and find someone, bring them back, and your grandfather will protect you." After saying this, he then instructed a nearby servant to go upstairs and invite Madam Su down.
Su Qingyin turned around, her gaze transformed. Looking at Su's mother, she suddenly swept everything on the table to the ground, saying, "I do not want to see you"
Su Qingyin was also taken aback, clearly not expecting it to be Qin Mo who opened the door. In that moment, she even forgot to cry, staring blankly at him with her head raised, "Oh, how come you are at home..."
Qin Shuang almost couldn't hold back, forcefully suppressing her emotions, and turned her head to glare at her fiercely
Father Su also frowned, but Su Qingyin did not pause for a moment, rushing out as if she had suffered a great injustice
In a moment of distraction, Qin Shuang gazed at the girl's collarbone and was reminded of that enchanting night, when in a state of emotional turmoil, he had even nibbled on this young lady's collarbone
When grandfather gets angry, he is even more terrifying than brother
When Su Ba saw Su Qingche chasing after him, he then asked in a deep voice: "What happened?"
While driving to the bar, I noticed Su Qingche's call, furrowing my brow, pondering whether something had happened to Su Qingyin, and quickly answered the phone.
She looked at her with a stern expression, tidying up this side and pulling at that side, making the room increasingly messy. Finally, she fixed her gaze on the suitcase and asked, "Where are you going?"
When she was young, Su Qingyin often pestered Old Master Su, asking, "Grandfather, where is my mother? Why doesn't she accompany me every day like Brother Qin Shuang's mother does with him?"
Old Master Su seemed to have discerned her thoughts and cast a warning glance at her.
What he said was still ambiguous, but both the old man and Su's father fell silent with a grim expression upon hearing it
Only this Su Mu does not get along with Su Qingyin at all
The comforting words from Old Master Su had yet to be spoken, and the person had already vanished without a trace.
Qin Shuang glanced at her and immediately understood the situation, stepping aside, "Come in."
If you think any further, it will not be as simple as just getting beaten up; it is likely to end in being ground to dust and having your bones crushed.
Hearing the commotion, Su Qingche happened to see this scene and couldn't help but frown slightly, "Mom ..."
Old Master Qin was waiting at the door. When he saw Qin Shuang coming down, a hint of a smile finally appeared in his eyes. "Alright, we will head back first."
His impressions from the previous occasions have become somewhat vague, but he has always remembered the last time until now
Su Qingche saw that the old man was present and did not dare to overstep, "Xiao Yin has some conflicts with her mother"
Old Master Su has always been dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law. Shortly after Su Qingyin was born, she was handed over to a nanny for care. Concerned, Old Master Su had the child brought over so that he could look after her himself
Su Qingche is currently not in the mood to discuss these matters with him, her eyes red with anxiety. "First, let's find someone; she ran out without taking anything."
Old Master Su's gaze also lingered on Second Master Qin. Upon seeing the little girl behind him with swollen eyes from crying, he felt a pang of heartache. Consequently, he directed an even harsher expression towards Qin Shuang, saying, "I will not see you off."
She has not seen this beast for a long time
When she feels wronged, he instinctively feels the need to defend her
Master Qin II now had a clear understanding in his heart, estimating that this girl had quarreled with her mother
Su's mother instinctively slapped her, neither too hard nor too soft, causing Su Qingyin's face to slightly turn away in disbelief
Su Qingyin actually rarely quarreled with her mother, and she only remembers three instances of it.
Qin Shuang turned her head to glance at Su Qingyin upon hearing this, then raised her hand to ruffle her hair, saying, "Your brother Qin Shuang has already taken care of it, what is there to be afraid of?" After saying this, she provocatively glanced at Su Qingche behind her, then turned around and went downstairs with Su Qingyin, one after the other
