Chapter 54 — The Qin Family Calls

　　As the topic of Qin Jiran's life experience continued to spread, the result was contrary to what the w.a.n.g family had hoped for. They had a feeling that they had lost the bait along with the fish. Currently, the public held a very high opinion of Qin Jiran, as well as the Su family. Although the w.a.n.g family was the main instigator, they felt as though they had nothing to do with the affair!

　　Then, three days after the news went out, the other instigator finally showed a reaction. It was not a public reaction; rather, Old Master Qin had his a.s.sistant give Qin Jiran a call.

　　Old Master Qin, named Qin Enci, was Qin Jiran's biological grandfather. Although the old man was very ill, he was still clear-headed. After he was informed about the news, he had investigated and confirmed Qin Jiran's ident.i.ty before deciding to contact him.

　　Actually, it wouldn't be accurate to say that Old Master Qin hadn't known about what his son did to Qin Jiran all those years ago. He did, but he had done nothing to stop it. Qin Zhenyi's conservative and prideful personality had been inherited from him, after all, so he naturally wouldn't have tried to prevent Qin Zhenyi from trying to hide the existence of an illegitimate son.

　　But now that the old man was on his deathbed, his att.i.tude had changed. He wanted to see Qin Jiran, a grandson who was a stranger to him, at least once in his life.

　　Qin Jiran was somewhat surprised when he received the call because although he had guessed the Qin family would contact him, he hadn't expected the first person to be the old Master Qin.

　　To go, or not to go? Qin Jiran hesitated for only a moment before rejecting. He really didn't want to be involved with the Qin family in any way or degree.

　　"Heh, if that old man Qin was actually sincere, it wouldn't have taken him this long to think of finding you," Su Yanyi automatically defended him. She was sitting nearby and had heard the entire conversation.

　　"I know." Qin Jiran wasn't stupid, so naturally, he had figured it out too. However, he was still very touched by her concern, and the current her seemed so cute that he suddenly got an urge to hug her.

　　But in the end, an urge was still just an urge, and not something he dared to actually act upon.
