Chapter 542: 505 Full of the Old Man Everywhere (1 update)

Beijing, the Sun Family.

Sun Qing had stayed at home with Elder Master Sun for two days. Today, the elder planned to meet some friends for tea and chess and was about to go out. Since her eldest grandson, Sun Yang, still had not contacted them, Elder Master Sun worried that Sun Qing might be bored alone at home and suggested she make a proper appointment with Bai Dingxian.

Now that they were together, they should genuinely bond and strengthen their affection. What was the point of her staying at home all the time, keeping company to an old man like him?

"No need, if he doesn’t need my company, why should I shamelessly impose myself? Isn’t that right? You should go out and enjoy your tea and opera. I’ll familiarize myself with the company’s operations at home. After the New Year, I’ll be going back to work at the company, won’t I?"

"You’re being so well-behaved? Not going back to Hua City with your bestie? You don’t find grandpa naggy, meddling in everything?" Elder Master Sun felt especially reassured knowing that Sun Qing had become sensible.

In truth, these couple of days didn’t make much difference, but knowing that she would return to head office after the new year, she would certainly be busy for a while then, adapting to the pace of the head office. At that time, it could be difficult for her to even have a proper romantic relationship.

As her grandfather, not an exploiter like Sun Papi, he still hoped Sun Qing would go find Bai Dingxian, go shopping, date, watch a movie, or buy some stuff.

"You just realized that today? Alright, will you be back for lunch? I’ll make you a delicious and smooth beef soup, how about that?"

"The old guys planned to eat out originally, but since my Qingqing wants to cook for grandpa, I’ll come back for lunch."

"Alright, let’s go, I’ll see you out."

Sun Qing escorted Elder Master Sun to the car, her heart and eyes full of the old man.

"Go back inside. It’s cold. If that Bai Family boy takes the initiative to ask you out, don’t stand on ceremony, just go on the date, and don’t worry about grandpa."

"Okay, I got it. Please go now, and come back early."

"Alright."

After the car left, Sun Qing waited until she could no longer see the back of the vehicle before she went inside.

Upon entering, the Butler approached her, "Miss, would you like tea or coffee?"

"Please make me a cup of coffee, thank you."

"Miss, you’re too polite."

After Sun Qing went upstairs, she opened her laptop to find many unread emails, most of which were junk or promotional, nothing useful or anticipated.

Once the coffee arrived, she held the cup in her hands, standing on the balcony, gazing out into the distance, not quite sure what she was looking for.

Big brother, where exactly are you? Is there really no signal where you are?

This New Year’s, aren’t you worried about grandpa, or your sister?

The more she thought about it, the more Sun Qing felt something was amiss. Her brother was not that kind of person; even if he had gone to a mountainous area with no signal, he would’ve found the shortest opportunity to get in touch with her and grandpa to let them know he was safe.

This time, as the New Year was almost over, there was still no news from Sun Yang.

Could it be that her brother...?

With that thought, Sun Qing started to feel increasingly anxious. She wanted to talk to Tang Su about this.

Otherwise, she was really afraid she would frighten herself to death all alone.

That’s when the Butler knocked on the door again, "Miss, there’s a visitor."

"A visitor? What visitor?" Sun Qing noticed the Butler’s unnatural expression. If it had been a guest welcomed by her grandfather or herself, the Butler would not look like this.

The Butler’s grave and uneasy demeanor indicated that this visitor was not particularly welcome.

"It’s... Mister Sun’s family." The Butler finally admitted, though seemingly reluctant to say it was the Elder Master.

Sun Qing understood – was Sun Zhengliang showing up at her doorstep with his wife and children?

Huh, what a coincidence that you arrive just after Grandpa leaves, thinking she’ll be easy to talk to?

"I’ll go down and have a look."

"Yes, Miss." The butler’s furrowed brows relaxed.

With the old master gone, he, as the butler, truly didn’t have the courage to drive the Sun Zhengliang family out.

**

Downstairs, Sun Zhengliang and Shi Yaqin together with their son and daughter, were sitting uncomfortably in the Sun Family’s living room.

Hearing Sun Qing coming downstairs, with the slippers making a clattering sound, Shi Yaqin’s heart skipped a beat, and Sun Wanting nervously glanced at her brother, Sun Yifei.

In her memory, Sun Qing, her elder sister, was not someone to be trifled with. When they were very young, their parents took them to visit their Grandpa, big brother, and big sister. At that time, Sun Qing, who was only in her early teens, could make their mother cry.

In her heart, she was afraid of Sun Qing, her elder sister.

Even though she had grown up a bit now, she was still very scared of Sun Qing.

"Qingqing." Sun Zhengliang got up when he saw Sun Qing coming, and Shi Yaqin signaled to their children to stand up as well.

Sun Qing looked at the glass coffee table where four teacups for guests were placed, with the tea still seven parts full; it seemed they hadn’t taken a sip.

Right, did they even feel entitled to drink the Sun Family’s tea?

Shi Yaqin gave birth to three children for Sun Zhengliang, two sons and a daughter. They were once a happy family of five. However, it was as if fate intervened, their eldest son passed away before reaching adulthood.

The current Sun Yifei was actually their second son.

When Sun Zhengliang was young, he was a well-known painter, incredibly passionate about his art. Sun Qing heard from Grandpa that her mother was a woman with delicate thoughts and a romantic soul.

Sun Zhengliang painted all day, and if it weren’t for pressure from both sets of parents to have children, perhaps Sun Yang and Sun Qing might not have come into this world.

Sun Qing’s mother couldn’t stand Sun Zhengliang locking himself away in his studio to work on his ’rubbish’ paintings; she didn’t appreciate Sun Zhengliang’s art.

Back then, Sun Zhengliang had not yet made a name for himself, and indeed his paintings did not seem different from trash.

The couple often quarreled. After one such argument, Sun Qing’s mother got on the road enraged and ended up in a tragic accident.

Later, among the belongings Sun Qing’s mother left behind, they found her medical report: carcinoma in situ—the untreatable kind.

This meant that even without the car accident, Sun Qing’s mother would not have lived much longer.

That accidental car crash, in a way, spared Sun Qing’s mother a lot of pain.

However, Sun Qing and Sun Yang were young at the time; these things, Sun Xingguo did not fully disclose to his children. Later on, not even a year after his daughter-in-law’s death, his son got together with Shi Yaqin and got her pregnant.

That was what ultimately led to the irreparable rift between father and son. Sun Xingguo asked Sun Zhengliang to take the woman he loved and their unborn child and leave the Sun Family, while he painstakingly raised his grandchildren on his own.

Over the years, out of love for his grandchildren, Sun Xingguo adamantly refused to forgive Sun Zhengliang and accept Shi Yaqin.

However, Sun Qing remembered that when Sun Zhengliang and Shi Yaqin’s eldest son, Sun Yuan, passed away, Grandfather locked himself in his study, sighing with grief.

Sun Yang, like their father, loved painting and cherished the freedom like the wind. Yet, Sun Yuan was more like their grandfather, determined from a young age to take on the burden of helping to manage the family business.

Sun Qing could understand the pain her grandfather felt when faced with the untimely death of Sun Yuan.

It was precisely because of Sun Yuan’s death that Sun Qing’s hatred for this family diminished somewhat, though more for her grandfather’s sake.

Even if her hatred had lessened, the father-daughter bond between her and Sun Zhengliang had, in her heart, never existed.
