Chapter 594: I have a good impression of her, but not to the point of liking her.
"He was born not long ago," Old Master Qin replied, still remembering what happened back then. "I don't know the specific reason why he died, but Junyi and his wife buried him themselves."
He had his doubts too.
But everyone knows that he buried the child himself.
He could only check if Lin Tan's mother or ancestors had any connection with Junyi's side.
In retrospect, it was simply a matter of looking alike.
"I see." Jiang Ruan knew it was unlikely after hearing this.
After that, no one discussed the topic again.
After dinner.
Lin Tan then left with Qin Mo.
Watching them leave, Grandpa Qin sighed to Jiang Ruan, "Do you think Lin Tan likes Qin Mo?"
Jiang Ruan: "I have a good impression of you, but not to the point of liking you."
"Does Qin Mo have a chance?" Old Master Qin asked again.
Jiang Ruan: "I don't know."
She is not Lin Tan and cannot provide an answer.
Even the person experiencing it may not know the answer until the very last moment.
"Lin Tan seems like a good girl," Old Master Qin said seriously. "It would be good for Qin Mo to be with her."
"It's rare that you would put aside your social class prejudices," Jiang An said as he returned from his business outside.
She knew how much the old man cared about social status.
In the past, if they had known that Qin Mo liked someone with absolutely no background, they would have suppressed him no matter what.
Now they're actually praising it as pretty good.
"You've taught me that love is priceless." Old Master Qin's voice softened, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions. "Qin Mo has been single all this time. It's rare for him to meet someone he likes. I can't just break them up."
“That’s good,” Jiang An said.
"Are you upset that I interfered in your relationship with Li Zhishen?" Old Master Qin asked.
“There’s nothing to be surprised about.” Jiang An had a clear understanding of things. “If you don’t fight, they will disperse on their own.”
Old Master Qin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
Jiang An didn't say anything more and went inside.
At the same time.
Lin Tan's side.
When Qin Mo learned that she was going to stay in a hotel, he instinctively tried to persuade her to stay: "I also have a spare room at my place, and it's not too far from where you work. If we stay together, we can look out for each other."
Lin Tan stared at him.
Qin Mo asked, "What's wrong?"
Lin Tan: "You haven't given up yet?"
Qin Mo: "What?"
Lin Tan: "Me."
"No." Qin Mo said directly, without beating around the bush. "All these years I've only loved you. Although you said you're not the Lin Tan you used to be, the Lin Tan of the past has shaped who you are now."
"Qin Mo..." Lin Tan hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping herself.
“You don’t need to say anything, I know.” Qin Mo stopped the car and turned to look at her. “I’m not in a hurry for you to respond, nor do I force you to be with me. I just hope that if I can help you, please do so.”
Lin Tan looked at him.
It would be a lie to say I didn't experience any emotional fluctuations.
Anyone would be affected if someone they used to like said these things to their face.
But she truly couldn't give Qin Mo a response.
All she wants now is to get back on her feet as soon as possible and create a world for herself that no one can shake.
She had no interest in romance; all she wanted was to work hard and strive for success.
"This isn't helping you, it's helping me," Qin Mo said again.
A hint of doubt flashed in Lin Tan's eyes.
Qin Mo said, "I want my feelings to be put into practice. I want to be useful to the girl I like, instead of just saying I like her, care about her, and love her, but doing nothing."
"So that even if you still don't like me someday in the future, at least I won't have any regrets." Qin Momo looked at her with his dark eyes, "because I tried my best."
Lin Tan didn't know how to respond to this for the first time.
Sometimes you really feel helpless when you encounter someone who is too sincere.
"It's not appropriate for me to stay at your place," she refused.
"Then you can stay at the place I found for you." Qin Mo hoped he could be of use to her. "It's close to the company, and it's convenient to go to other recording studios in Haicheng."
Lin Tan: "You collect the rent."
Qin Mo hesitated.
Lin Tan looked at him and said seriously, "I hope we are equals, instead of me constantly taking."
Qin Mo: "50% off."
Lin Tan smiled and said, "Okay."
After receiving her agreement, Qin Mo's tense heart relaxed slightly, and his mood also eased considerably.
That evening.
The hotel where Lin Tan stayed.
In order to take her to that apartment the next day, Qin Mo simply stayed next door to her.
Seeing that President Qin, a man of great stature, was staying in a king-size bed room instead of a presidential suite, Lin Tan couldn't quite describe her feelings, so she simply told him, "You don't need to stay here. I can manage on my own."
Qin Mo: "It's nothing."
Lin Tan: "Or would you like to stay in the presidential suite upstairs?"
Qin Mo: "This environment is quite nice."
Lin Tan was somewhat conflicted and didn't know how to offer advice.
In a sense, she didn't want Qin Mo to suffer for her sake.
“When my grandfather was raising me, he made sure I didn’t become spoiled, so he let me experience the life of an ordinary person for a while,” Qin Mo said truthfully. “That’s why I’m not very picky about where I live.”
Lin Tan asked, "Were you raised by Mr. Qin?"
"Yes." Qin Mo nodded. "My mom took care of me for a while when I was three years old, only for a few months. After that, I basically stayed with my grandpa."
Lin Tan nodded.
I didn't ask any more questions.
The two chatted for a while longer before Lin Tan went back to her room to sleep.
Knowing she couldn't persuade Qin Mo, she didn't try again.
Lying in bed staring at the ceiling, I felt a strange, indescribable feeling welling up inside me.
They had clearly agreed not to get too involved with Qin Mo.
However, things still developed beyond her control.
In the end, she suppressed all her emotions.
Since we're here, let's make the best of it.
Since he couldn't push Qin Mo away, he could only try to grow up quickly so that when she no longer needed his help, he could focus on his own things and worry less.
After figuring it out, she went to sleep.
Qin Mo, however, couldn't fall asleep for a long time.
He could sense Lin Tan's politeness towards him, but he was powerless to change the situation.
He wanted to message Jiang Ruan to ask her something, but after picking up his phone, he put it down again.
If it's a matter between two people, then let's not involve a third person.
Jiang Ruan was busy at the moment.
Two days ago, she went to her second uncle to ask about the evidence. Unlike last time, he didn't say there was none directly. This time, he said, "It seems like there is some. Let me think about it."
I thought about it for two days.
No.
I just called her.
“I do have some evidence you mentioned,” Qin Muchi said in his usual tone, “but I’m not sure if it can be used as evidence for conviction, and most importantly, whether it will implicate me.”
Jiang Ruan asked, "What is it?"
Qin Muchi: "Audio recording of the discussion about this matter."
Jiang Ruan's heart immediately filled with hope: "Can I take a look?"
"No," Qin Muchi said, not hiding anything. "How would I know if you would send me in too after you read this? I was involved in this too."
“I won’t go back on my promise to you,” Jiang Ruan told him again. “Even if you went too far in the recording, I will not hold you responsible because you provided evidence and were willing to testify in court.”
Qin Muchi did not reply immediately.
He was thinking.
Should we hand it over or not?
