She hadn't come back for three years, yet the old man didn't blame her at all, he even spoiled her this much.
The talent just came back for a meal, and without hesitation, he couldn't wait to introduce Shang Jue to Qin Cha.
What was the reason for this?
Clearly, the person the old man cared about most every day was her.
Chen Bo immediately went upstairs and turned the corner to see Qin Cha standing in the corridor, looking lost in thought.
"Young lady? What are you doing here? Grandpa asked you to come down and greet the guests."
Qin Cha tugged the corner of her mouth. "Chen Bo, tell Grandpa that I'm feeling a little unwell and don't want to come down because of motion sickness."
Seeing that Qin Cha really looked a bit off, and since he always doted on her, Chen Bo hesitated for a moment before reluctantly saying, "Then you should go back to your room and rest. Should I call a doctor to come check on you?"
Qin Cha shook her head. "No need. I'm just tired and want to rest for a while."
Chen Bo made sure she didn't have any serious problems before going downstairs and saying, "Mr. Qin, the young lady isn't feeling well and has gone to bed."
Qin Mingyuan knew right away that Qin Cha was lying.
What a silly child!
"Grandpa, why don't we sit down and talk? Mr. Shang, please have a seat," Qin Yun said, her lips curving slightly when she heard Qin Cha refused to come down.
Qin Cha was arrogant and looked down on even Mr. Shang, but she wouldn't miss this perfect opportunity.
"Mr. Shang, may I ask what kind of tea you like? Would you prefer black tea?" she asked softly.
Shang Jue kept a blank expression and nodded indifferently, but he never actually drank the tea Qin Yun handed him.
He had a cleanliness obsession and didn't like strangers handing him things.
"Mr. Shang, have you eaten dinner yet? If not, I can make a reservation for you at a restaurant and invite you later," Qin Yun looked at Shang Jue eagerly.
Qin Mingyuan glanced at Qin Yun but said nothing.
Whether Qin Cha or Qin Yun, they were both his granddaughters.
Qin Cha didn't like it, but if she could become Qin Yun, it would be a good thing.

Upstairs
Qin Cha didn't go straight to her room but stayed to eavesdrop on the noise downstairs.
Seeing Qin Yun fawn over Shang Jue, she was even more sure that the person who pushed her into Shang Jue's arms wasn't Qin Yun, or that something went wrong in between.
With Qin Yun's petty mind, how could she have done nothing to take advantage? But as for how she lost her memory, Qin Cha still doubted Qin Yun.
"Sister?"
Suddenly, Qin Mo appeared silently behind Qin Cha, nearly making her scream.
"Second brother, what are you doing sneaking around?"
"Who's sneaking?" Qin Mo pinched his little sister's soft cheek without hesitation. "Who knows if Grandpa will suddenly call Shang Jue over? If I didn't hide, wouldn't he have found me? Grandpa wants to matchmake you two?"
Sure enough, Second Brother was reliable at critical moments. Qin Cha smiled flatteringly, "As expected, Second Brother is useful when it counts."
"Nonsense, your Second Brother is always useful. Come on, go back to your room first. If Grandpa calls you down again later, I'll help you block him."
At the same time, Shang Jue noticed something and looked up toward the second floor again, spotting a familiar figure.
His brown eyes turned cold. Qin Cha?
Not only that, Shang Jue also noticed Qin Mo's figure.
What made him unhappy was that Qin Mo had actually hugged Qin Cha closely, and the two looked like newlyweds, even their eye contact was full of smiles, until they walked into the bedroom together.
The last thread of rationality in Shang Jue's mind snapped.
He clenched his fists, and his gentle smile gradually turned cold.
He and Qin Cha hadn't officially divorced, yet she was already eager to throw herself into other men's arms one after another!
He really had to wonder if all her previous deep affection was just an act.
Nameless anger boiled inside Shang Jue, but his face showed no emotion.
"Mr. Shang, I've booked a nice restaurant. How about we leave after you finish talking with Grandpa?" Qin Yun looked at the perfect man beside her, Shang Jue satisfied all her hopes for a partner.
She was determined to get him.
Qin Yun worried Qin Cha might appear at any moment and steal her man, so she decided to take the initiative.
"No need, I'm not very hungry. Thanks for the offer," Shang Jue declined Qin Yun's invitation bluntly. He didn't like women who were too aggressive.
Qin Yun wasn't satisfied with the rejection, so she stayed by Shang Jue's side and refused to leave.
Seeing Shang Jue uninterested, Qin Mingyuan cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Shang, please come with me to the study."
Without hesitation, Shang Jue stood up.
Qin Yun looked at her grandfather unhappily but didn't dare say anything.
Assistant Li shook his head helplessly.
Shang Jue's charm was just too irresistible, and he was used to situations like this.
