Reborn: I'll Never Fail My Childhood Sweetheart Again

Chapter 546 - 206: How About Letting Qin Shiqing Get Along Peacefully with the Other Girls? (Part 3)

Su Zelin and Qin Shiqing were just starting university and traveling far from home for the first time; their families were tearful messes, filled with all kinds of bittersweet emotions, endless farewells, and endless advice, worried that their kids would struggle to adapt to the new life at school or face hardships.

By junior year, both families were quite calm.

Su Jianjun outwardly appeared reluctant, but inside he was overjoyed.

Finally, the kid is off! Now I can have the computer all to myself!

Despite his happiness, Old Su pretended to be serious and earnestly advised, "Zelin, drive carefully, smooth sailing ahead. You now have a company vehicle, so it’s convenient. You can easily come home during National Day and New Year."

Su Zelin nodded, saying, "Sure, I was actually considering whether to come back this National Day and New Year!"

Su Jianjun was taken aback.

Whoa, hold on, I was just talking casually.

This kid, why does he take it seriously!

"Of course, what I meant was career comes first, right, the shop might be busy during National Day and New Year, huh?"

Old Su cleared his throat; he was saying it purposely for his wife.

He knew Zhao Lixia really cared about their son’s job; during the summer, the New Era flagship store appeared in TV ads, and she bragged about it to everyone she met.

So the tigress wasn’t about to let Su Zelin delay his career.

Sure enough, Zhao Lixia immediately advised, "Son, mom hopes you come home often too, but business at the company can’t be delayed. You’re in your third year now, only two more years before you graduate. New Era is a good company, and the boss appreciates you. You should cherish this opportunity, don’t disappoint their expectations, strive to climb higher before graduation!"

I appreciate myself?

The slacker was amused by the Empress Dowager.

But on the other hand, when should I reveal to the family that I’m the founder of New Era?

If Dad, Mom, and the Qin family next door find out I’m the founder and major shareholder of New Era, I wonder how they’d feel.

Qin Shiqing teases me all day calling me Boss Su, her expression would be interesting, haha.

Hmm, better to wait a bit longer.

If I really spill the beans, it won’t be easy to trick Dad anymore.

If Dad knows I have money, he might even reverse the game!

"Got it, Mom, don’t worry, I’m on top of things!"

Actually, Su Zelin was just teasing Dad, but he would remain busy in the second half of the year and wouldn’t have time to go home during National Day or New Year.

Zhao Lixia was quite assured of him.

He’s already a store manager at a major company, overseeing dozens of people.

Next door in the Qin family, Liu Sufen was holding Qin Shiqing’s hand and whispering in the courtyard.

"Daughter, you need to be proactive; they say when a woman chases a man, it’s like a veil!"

Liu Sufen seemed brainwashed by New Era’s TV ads, spending the whole vacation instilling the idea that Qin Shiqing should win over the boy next door, worried that this son-in-law might slip away.

"Mom, my ears have calloused from all this!"

Qin Shiqing laughed helplessly.

"Daughter, don’t blame Mom for nagging, but if you’re not proactive, that little witch named Huang will be! Can’t you see she always visits the Su family, buying this and that, being all courteous without a reason!"

Liu Sufen glanced next door, lowered her voice, "Old Su and Lixia are something, always letting her come by."

"Alright, you can stop nagging too."

Qin Daqing couldn’t stand it.

Though he knew Huang Panpan was his daughter’s rival, she came over without causing trouble or being a nuisance, and she even greeted their daughter calling her "Shiqing Senior." As the saying goes, you don’t hit someone who’s smiling. How could Su Jianjun and Zhao Lixia shoo her away?

"You! You’re not worried about Zelin and our daughter’s relationship at all; can’t you show some care!"

Liu Sufen gave her husband an annoyed look.

Just then, they heard the sound of an engine, and soon the Santana pulled up outside the courtyard gate.

"Shiqing, sit in the front!"

Granny Qin glanced at the passenger seat and gave her daughter a knowing look.

During the last winter break, when returning to school, she realized Qin Shiqing was sitting in the back seat. She called later and found out Lu Haoran usually sat in the front, which made Liu Sufen quite mad, thinking that boy doesn’t know what’s proper.

Su Zelin got out to help load the luggage in the trunk, and Qin Shiqing hesitated for a moment but eventually opened the back door.

If she sat in the front seat,

Arranging the back seat would be a problem.

The lineup "Lu Haoran Xiaoyanzi Huang Panpan" obviously wouldn’t work.

Her best friend and Huang Panpan are like fire and water now, definitely unwilling to sit together.

Switching to "Xiaoyanzi Lu Haoran Huang Panpan," that would be even worse.

The one sitting in the middle is likely to feel awkward enough to scratch out a five-room suite, and Xiaoyanzi wouldn’t be happy with her boyfriend next to Huang Panpan.

After much thought, it seemed only "Xiaoyanzi Qin Shiqing Huang Panpan" would work.

Sitting next to Huang Panpan didn’t bother Qin Shiqing.

They’ve shared a bed, so what’s the big deal...

But Liu Sufen couldn’t understand Qin Shiqing’s thinking; seeing her daughter sit in the back seat, she stomped her foot in anger but was too embarrassed to say anything with Su Zelin around.

First, they drove to pick up Xiaoyanzi and Lu Haoran, and lastly Huang Panpan.

In the end, the honest person sat in the front, the back seat had Xiaoyanzi, Qin Shiqing, and Huang Panpan, with Qin Shiqing sitting in the middle to separate her best friend and the underclassman, avoiding a catfight.

Tang Yan’s feud with the underclassman wasn’t new, but it was the third time they’ve shared a ride; she was used to it since it wasn’t her car, and it was Su Zelin’s choice who to give a ride to; she had no right to protest or stop him.
