Chapter 456: Why Did You Come?

Yu Xi felt that Master Sheng was speaking strangely today.

What did this have to do with Young Master Qin? And when was God Ling planning to dance with Young Master Qin in the first place?

God Ling had merely come in to have a bite to eat. She was only here to take a break.

She had been on the plane for over ten hours. Then, she had been on an hour car ride to get here.

It was likely that the place that she was going to live in didn’t have any food yet.

Compared to getting takeaway or going to a restaurant, wasn’t this more convenient? There was ready-made food over here. It could save her the time and effort.

It was as simple as that.

“I’m not going to dance with Qin Chuan,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Huh?”

“I’m not planning to dance today,” Jian Yiling replied again. She didn’t like to dance in the first place.

The last time that she danced was three years ago. She had only danced that time because Zhai Yunsheng had dragged her along.

In the past three years, she hadn’t danced again.

Yu Xi hurriedly explained the situation to Zhai Yunsheng: “Master Sheng, God Ling just got off the plane today. It was a long journey for her. Plus, she’s wearing clothes that are inappropriate for the dance floor…”

Qin Chuan also sensed that there was some misunderstanding: “Master Sheng, did you misunderstand something?”

Both Yu Xi and Qin Chuan’s words indicated that Jian Yiling was not the one who was going to dance with Qin Chuan for his first dance of the night.

If it wasn’t Jian Yiling… Then who was the person that was said to be very important and special to Qin Chuan?

At this moment, a middle-aged lady entered the banquet.

Although the woman’s appearance didn’t stand out a lot, she gave people a comfortable feeling. Her looks could withstand careful appreciation.

As Qin Chuan saw that there were no more problems on Jian Yiling’s side, he said a few more words to her before he walked towards the middle-aged lady with quick steps.

“Mother,” Qin Chuan greeted. He took his mother’s hand and invited her to dance.

Qin Chuan was recognized by the Qin family. However, his mother hadn’t been recognized by the members of the Qin family.

In the eyes of outsiders, Qin Chuan’s mother was nothing. She didn’t mean anything to them.

And thus, Qin Chuan had brought his mother along to such a grand occasion that was organized by the Qin family. He wanted to introduce his mother to everyone.

The person that was wrong back then was not his mother. Instead, it was that heartless man.

His mother was not a mistress. Rather, it was the man who went back on his words and married someone else. That man had let his mother down.

So why should his mother have to bear the brunt of the criticism?

And thus, Qin Chuan made it clear that he would only return to the Qin family if they were willing to acknowledge his mother.

In the end, the Qin family had compromised. They allowed Qin Chuan’s mother to attend public functions. However, she was not to be recognized as the wife of the Head of the Qin family.

Qin Chuan had revealed to everyone that he was going to invite a special lady to dance with him for his first dance.

And that special lady was his mother.

His mother had given birth to him and raised him. She had been the one who gave him life.

He wanted her to be able to stand in front of the crowd.

And thus, the puzzle had been solved. It had nothing to do with Jian Yiling.

Zhai Yunsheng slowly turned his head to look at Jian Yiling.

Jian Yiling was also looking at him.

Once again, their eyes met.

It was clear that Jian Yiling hadn’t understood where Zhai Yunsheng’s irritation and anger had come from.

In fact, Zhai Yunsheng did not quite understand where his emotions had come from either.

When he saw her appear, complicated feelings began to surface…

Then, Zhai Yunsheng asked in a low voice: “Why did you come?”

Was it because of Qin Chuan?

Qin Chuan arrived in Beijing today. She had also arrived on the same day.

Timing-wise, they had arrived on the same day.

“Something came up,” Jian Yiling replied.

“Qin Chuan?”

“Hmm?” Jian Yiling asked. Her eyes appeared incredibly confused.

“Did you come to the capital because of Qin Chuan?” After saying that, Zhai Yunsheng turned his head away. He didn’t want to hear her say yes.

Three years had passed and she had grown up. It wasn’t impossible for her to like someone else.
