Chapter 369 Too Naive

The name of this bar was also very interesting. It was called Dayin (Big Camouflage), which gave the idea of ‘hiding in the city is far better than hiding in the forest’. After all, this bar was hidden in the city area. The guests in the restaurant outside definitely did not know that there was still a high-class bar hidden behind.

The bar’s space was not tiny. The decoration was very unique, as well. There were three pool tables in the middle, and large sofa seats lined the windows. Four-seaters were scattered all over. On the north side against the wall was the bar counter. The whole wall was filled with all kinds of alcohol in the wine cabinet. As long as you could find the name for it, they had it. There were two bartenders, one male one female. They were both good looking. After all, those who could come in were not ordinary people, and the owner was not short of this sum of money.

On the right was a corridor leading deeper into the bar. There was a cigar room, a red wine room, and three small private rooms. However, those had to be reserved in advance, and there must be more than six people using them. First come first served, regardless of status.

At this moment, Qin Ran and Qin Sheng were the center of attention of the whole bar. They did not care about these playful looks. Qin Ran continued to lead Qin Sheng forward. Her best friends since childhood were playing pool.

These childhood friends were none other than those who had accompanied Qin Ran to Shanghai to trample the place. Other than Fan Dezhi, who had not come, Zhang Da, and Ma Weiyang were both there. The other two were also Qin Ran’s good friends in the same social circle.

Seeing Qin Ran bring Qin Sheng over, they were not shocked at all as they had already heard the news. They put down their clubs and walked towards the siblings slowly. Ma Weiyang wore a grey tight sweater that showed off her perfect figure. She asked, “The sun has risen from the west! Our Big Miss Qin is going to announce important news. I have waited all these years for this, I can finally retire from my role as best friend.”

Zhang Da held up a wine glass beside him and squinted his eyes while echoing, “Ranran, you’ve kept a good secret, we didn’t even find anything amiss! Good job!”

A slightly younger man teased, “Sister Ran, quickly introduce us to our brother-in-law! I’m so lucky to be here today!”

There was a young man at the back who did not talk. He was in sportswear and seemed like he did not fit in. He just observed Qin Sheng from head to toe and felt that it was not like what everyone thought. This was not how Sister Ran did things.

“Can’t you guys tell?” Qin Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry. This bunch of people was too unreliable. Qin Sheng did not explain either, just letting them to misunderstand. Anyway, this was his biological sister, there was no taboo about it.

Ma Weiyang whispered, “What? What are we supposed to see?” “Do you need us to say that you’re a perfect pair made for each other? Ranran, why have you become like this?”

Zhang Da frowned slightly and said, “Ranran, stop teasing us. Introduce us.”

Others did not say a word, they waited for Qin Ran to give her final answer. Qin Ran took a deep breath and pulled Qin Sheng alone as she took one step forward. “Since you guys are all so dumb, I can only reveal the mystery. Let me introduce to you, this talented, young gentleman is called Qin Sheng. He is my younger brother, my biological younger brother. The brother whom you all know.”

That one sentence was like five peals of thunder going off in the sky. Everyone was shocked to the core.

Ma Da and Ma Weiyang were shocked because they knew of Qin Sheng’s existence. This was Qin Ran’s deepest scar. Back then, her mother’s passing and her brother going missing had been a great hit to her. She had stayed quiet for a long time. This bunch of friends had used countless methods to help her recover. All these years, no one had brought it up.

However, all these years, Qin Ran still remembered what had happened back then, especially her brother. She had been worried about him the most. Everyone knew why Qin Ran had not dated nor gotten married. She had once said that if she could not find her brother, she would spend the rest of her life alone.

When Fan Dezhi had gotten married, he had drunk too much and completely let go of his lingering affections for Qin Ran. However, he had also hoped that she could let go of these things as well and chase after her own happiness. Although he could not give her happiness, at least, he wished to see her happy.

However, Qin Ran’s answer had still been very firm. She would not get married unless she had found her brother. Fan Dezhi had been so pissed that he had almost cursed. Qin Ran had left on the spot. Zhang Da and the rest had nearly ended up in a fight with Fan Dezhi. If it had not been for the crowd that had held them back, Fan Dezhi’s wedding would probably have had to be pushed back.

However, it had already been more than 20 years since the incident. Everyone had not had not have high hopes anymore. After all, the Qin family was not an ordinary family. After failing for so many years, the hopes would definitely be diminished slowly. Hence, everyone had been pitying Qin Ran from the bottom of their hearts.

Hence, at this moment, Zhang Da and Ma Weiyang could not believe it at all. This man was Qin Ran’s younger brother who had been missing for so many years? This was too mind-blowing. It was like a miracle. They stared at him intensely. The more they looked at him, the more they realized the two siblings did resemble each other. Besides, they knew Qin Sheng when he was young, so some memories started to become more evident.

Hence, their gazes and expressions changed from the shock and dumbfoundedness at the beginning to confusion right away and finally, surprise and excitement.

As for the other two, they were still dumbfounded as they had never heard that Qin Ran still had a younger brother. They all knew her to be the only daughter of Master Qin.

“Ranran, he’s really that brother of yours?” Although Ma Weiyang had already recognized him, she still could not believe it. This was definitely a big piece of news, it was enough to blow up their small circle.

Qin Ran replied with a smile and full confidence, “If he’s fake, he shall be replaced.”

Hearing this, Ma Weiyang pounced herself onto Qin Sheng. Before Qin Sheng could react, she had already wrapped her arms around him tightly and given him two fierce kisses on the cheeks. She might as well give him a long kiss. Those who did not know might think that he was her long-lost brother.

“Oh my, my little Shengzi, Ponytail Sister missed you so much! You evil-hearted guy, you finally want to come back,” Ma Weiyang shouted excitedly. There was no doubt in her relationship with Qin Ran. All these years, they had experienced rain and storm together. They knew each other much better than their parents. When they had been little, every time Qin Ran had been upset, Ma Weiyang would cry with her. This was the same, even when they were grown-ups. Hence, Ma Weiyang had also had genuine feelings for Qin Sheng. This was why she hugged him so excitedly and broke into tears. She was truly happy for Qin Ran. This tough-fated woman was finally free of torture.

“Oh my god, big news,” Zhang Da mumbled to himself. He had to quickly call and notify that bunch of friends. They could not miss such a lively scene. Probably not many of those whom he called would believe him.

Qin Sheng was a little overwhelmed by the overly-excited Ma Weiyang. This older sister was hanging onto him like a koala bear. She had an extremely hot figure, and her boobs were in intimate contact with his chest. However, her snot and tears made him somewhat uncomfortable.

Qin Ran felt that there were many people in this place, and it was messy. It was not ideal for them to stay for long. Before the rest could figure out what was going on, she said to Zhang Da and the rest, “Let’s talk in the private room, this is not a good place.”

Zhang Da then realized what she meant and quickly ran to the bar counter to give orders to the attendant. Luckily, there were not many guests tonight, so the private rooms were empty. The crowd then changed location. On the way, Ma Weiyang wrapped her arm around Qin Sheng’s, like a close couple that would not let go. Qin Sheng did not know whether to laugh or cry.

After Qin Ran’s group entered the private room, the public in the lobby then retrieved their gazes. Earlier on, they could not hear clearly what was going on as it was too noisy. However, anyone could tell that the young man that Qin Ran had brought along was not simple. Otherwise, why would that bunch of people be so excited?

If Qin Sheng had paid attention, he would definitely have noticed a familiar face sitting by the window. It was his classmate, Wei Li from Hangzhou. It was a pity that he had not had the time to notice others. After seeing Qin Sheng, Wei Li did not get up to greet him. He observed Qin Sheng silently. He had not expected to meet him here. This was a spot for the wealthy, the owner of this place was not an ordinary character. If it was Han Xu, he would have gone up to Qin Sheng directly to say hi. He did not care about all these.

Wei Li felt lucky that he had not said hi to Qin Sheng, because based on what happened today, he seemed to be gradually unveiling Qin Sheng’s mysterious facade.

Wei Li looked towards his friend and asked, “Brother Zhao, who were all those people?”

The man named Brother Zhao also noticed that he had been staring there. He did not understand. “You know them?”

“I know that guy who came in afterward, he’s a classmate at a Tsinghua Advanced Class that I’m attending recently. I don’t know the others,” Wei Li answered truthfully.

Brother Zhao said thoughtfully, “That bunch are regular guests here, their relationship with Boss Li is not simple. They have a very strong background as well. If you can become associated with them, it would be greatly beneficial for you in the future.”

Wei Li was surprised. “How strong? Stronger than you and Third Sister?”

Brother Zhao glanced at the woman next to him. He laughed and shook his head. “A whole new level.”

Hearing this, Wei Li became excited instantly. He subconsciously found a way to become associated to that group of people. He smiled and stood up. “Should I go say hi?”

Brother Zhao and Third Sister said not a word and let him be. If he could become associated, it would be beneficial to them as well. They were just worried that the kid would be rejected. However, it was not a bad thing for him to try getting rejected.

Sijiu City was not Hangzhou City. There were some social circles that one could never squeeze themselves into it no matter what. The entry requirements were too high. The first-time-visiting Wei Li had even thought that this was just like Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai, where one could become associated just because they knew each other.

He was too naive…
