Three years ago, her sudden amnesia indirectly proved to be connected to Qin Yun. But considering Shang Jue's identity, Qin Cha had doubts.
Back then, she planned to discuss cooperation with Shang Jue. If she married him, it seemed unlikely Qin Yun could have made that happen.
Could Qin Yun really have been so kind as to set her up with Shang Jue? If she had succeeded in cooperating with him, his identity could've helped her a lot.
"Nonsense! How could you think that about your sister?" Qin Mingyuan scolded sternly.
Qin Yun saw Grandpa was angry and reluctantly apologized, "Grandpa, don't be mad. I just said it without thinking. I know I was wrong."
After dinner, Qin Mingyuan looked at Qin Cha and said, "Xiao Cha, come with me."
After saying this, Qin Mingyuan turned and went upstairs.
Qin Cha had a headache. She knew Grandpa wouldn't believe her just now.
"It's okay. Second Brother is here. If Grandpa gives you trouble, call me secretly and I'll come up right away."
Qin Mo patted his sister's shoulder. No matter what happened, he would protect her without hesitation.
Qin Cha smiled and followed Qin Mingyuan upstairs to the study.
"Speak up. What happened to you these past three years?"
Qin Mingyuan didn't give Qin Cha a chance to react, staring at her with deep eyes.
He'd sent people to look for her for three years but never found her.
The subsidiary company Qin Cha was in charge of was also getting worse and worse.
He knew this granddaughter well.
She cared about KPIs more than anything else. How could she abandon the company and disappear for three years?
Qin Cha wasn't the kind of person to neglect her family for work. At this point, she had to be honest.
"Three years ago, I had an accident and lost my memory. Some bad things happened." She calmly told her grandfather everything that had happened over those years but hid Shang Jue's identity, describing him as an ordinary person.
If Grandpa knew about Shang Jue, he'd definitely break his legs.
But in the end, Shang Jue didn't owe her anything.
Everything before was her own wishful thinking, and she had brought it on herself.
She only hoped the two of them wouldn't have any further involvement in the future.
After listening quietly to Qin Cha's story about her life over the past three years, Qin Mingyuan's old face showed pain. His gaze softened from stern to gentle as he looked at Qin Cha.
"These years have been tough on you. Who's the man that caused you all this trouble? Tell Grandpa. I won't let him off easy." Qin Mingyuan's eyes grew fierce and his voice sharpened.
As Qin Cha expected, if she told everything about Shang Jue, Grandpa definitely wouldn't forgive him.
But she kept it hidden, not because she still cared for Shang Jue, but because she truly wanted nothing to do with him anymore.
Her child was growing every day, and she needed to stay far away from Shang Jue.
"Grandpa, don't be angry. That person is long forgotten by me. I don't want any contact with him anymore. Let's just say I was blind and mistook him for someone else these past three years. Let it all just pass with the wind." Qin Cha spoke sincerely, trying to calm Grandpa down.
Qin Mingyuan's expression grew serious as he thought for a moment, but in the end, he gave in.
"Alright, if you don't want to say, then don't. But from now on, don't have any contact with that kind of person. He's not worthy of you."
If he were younger, he'd never have let the man who made his granddaughter suffer so much off the hook.
But as he got older, he became more understanding.
Since Qin Cha had let it go and didn't want to bring it up again, Qin Mingyuan respected her choice.
Seeing Grandpa agree, Qin Cha finally relaxed. She thought maybe this matter would just end here.
"By the way, Grandpa invited a young and promising man to our house today. I'll introduce you to him. If you like him, Grandpa can help you two get together."
With this sudden change of topic, Grandpa was actually setting up a blind date for her.
Qin Cha: "..."
Isn't this a bit sudden?
She wanted to refuse, but Qin Mingyuan didn't give her a chance to speak and walked out of the study by himself.
"Go change your clothes, dress nicely, and come down. He should be here soon."
Qin Cha had a headache but followed him.
She didn't want to waste time on a boring blind date.
Besides, she wasn't interested in getting married now, and her current situation definitely didn't allow her to jump into a new relationship so quickly.
"Grandpa..."
Just as she was about to follow him downstairs, Qin Cha saw Chen Bo leading a man inside.
Qin Cha was shocked.
Shang Jue?!
She reacted fast and immediately turned around to hide in a corner.
How could Shang Jue show up at the Qin family?
Could the "young and promising man" Grandpa mentioned really be Shang Jue?
...Turns out Grandpa's eyesight had gotten worse with age.
"Mr. Shang, hello. I'm Qin Yun. Nice to meet you."
Seeing Shang Jue, Qin Yun's eyes lit up, but her smile stayed elegant, sweet like a friendly neighbor's little sister.
Qin Cha glanced at Qin Yun from her hiding spot and instantly understood her intentions. She was lost in thought.
Qin Yun seemed to have feelings for Shang Jue.
If Qin Yun liked him, then how could she have pushed Qin Cha into Shang Jue's arms back then?
So, where was the flaw in all this?
Shang Jue shook hands with Qin Yun calmly but sensed something was wrong.
He lifted his eyelids and coldly stared in the direction where Qin Cha was hiding.
Qin Cha immediately pulled back, her brows furrowed, unsure if Shang Jue had seen her.
"Hello, Mr. Qin," Shang Jue said politely, pulling back his gaze. "I admire young people like you, Mr. Shang. If you don't mind, I'd like to introduce someone to you."
Qin Mingyuan looked up toward the second floor but didn't see Qin Cha. He gave Chen Bo a look and said, "Go call the young lady down."
Qin Yun clenched her fists.
It's Qin Cha again!
