The housekeeper came in to tell Qin Jinguo: "Sir, second young master and his family are here."
Qin Jinguo and Qin Shao's conversation instantly halted.
"I know." Qin Jinguo still wanted to ask Qin Shao about Song Yancheng, as well as the twins' biological mother. But he saw Qin Shao's face turned cold and was about to leave.
Qin Jinguo knew that Qin Shao was worried about the two children. He could not help but sighed, stopped Qin Shao, and said, "This is Jinxi Garden. No matter how severe the contradictions between you and him, he wouldn't dare to do anything here. Not to mention that your Aunt Chen is also there."
Qin Shao simply glanced at Qin Jinguo lightly. After a snort, he opened the door and left the study quickly.
Qin Jinguo also followed, but Qin Shao walked too fast, and in just a few steps, Qin Jinguo was left behind.

At this moment, Su Bei and Su Xiaobao were facing Song Yancheng and his family in the garden.
Are they the male and female lead from the novel? Su Bei secretly thought.
Not counting the novel she read and the dream she had, this was Su Bei's first time to see the main couple. Just as the description in the novel, Song Yancheng had an arrogant and cold appearance, calculative and black-bellied, but hiding countless undercurrent below the seemingly calm face. This person was very dangerous, the kind of danger that eat people without spitting out their bones.
As for the female lead Lin You, she was a transmigrator, movie empress of two worlds, and now the wife of Song Group's chairman. The novel described the female lead for having a charming and pure 'younger sister' appearance, but actually had a calm and noble temperament. Such contrast was highly sought after by others. As the novel's biggest life winner besides the male lead, the female lead should also lead a good life, but Su Bei couldn't see much happiness from her expression.
After more than ten years of marriage, the arrogance and aura of a movie empress could no longer be seen on Lin You's face. She was now more like a wealthy lady who was busy with all kinds of high society activities and deeply absorbed by money and power.
Su Bei finally glanced indifferently at Song Xinyi standing next to Lin You, before retracting her gaze.

Seeing Su Bei, Song Xinyi secretly clenched her hands inside her skirt's folds: She never liked Su Bei. From the beginning when Su Bei grabbed the 'school flower' title that originally belonged to her and even stole her limelight at the 'opening performance', Song Xinyi hated this newly transferred girl.
After learning that Su Bei was Qin Shao's daughter, Song Xinyi's hatred simply grew deeper. Since childhood, Song Xinyi knew that Qin Shao, this so-called uncle of hers, was a villain who took everything from her father and even wanted to suppress their family's business.
Su Bei was as annoying as her father, and of course, this also including Su Xiaobao!
"Grandma, who are these two people? How come there are outsiders here during family's festival?" In front of Chen Xueyan, Song Xinyi acted cutely. She held Chen Xueyan's hand pretentiously and asked in an innocent tone.
"Yiyi, they are not outsiders." Chen Xueyan hugged Song Xinyi lovingly and said: "They are your uncle's children, this is Qin Yue, this is Qin Yu. Xiao Yu, Xiao Yue, and you are the same age, you should get along and play together."
After hearing this, Song Xinyi's expression didn't change, but she secretly sneered inwardly: Get along? As if these two wild seeds of unknown origin are worthy!
Song Yancheng also looked at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao, the two children who supposedly were Qin Shao's shame. Back then, he cooperated with Chairman Xu, a business partner of 'Jihua International,' and planted a spy under Qin Shao. He originally wanted to set up and ruin Qin Shao's reputation but did not expect the man to run away. At that time, it happened that a woman named Su Mei was pestering him, so he pushed the boat along the water and schemed to send Su Mei to Qin Shao's bed.
Originally, Song Yancheng waited for Su Mei to find him afterward and planned to control her under the guise of taking responsibility. When Qin Shao and that woman's child was born, he can use the child as a bargaining chip to threaten Qin Shao. Even if Qin Shao refused, it didn't matter, he could still use that child to disgust Qin Shao.
Song Yancheng's plan was good, but he didn't expect Su Mei to secretly go into hiding after that night. When Su Mei appeared again, it was around Song Yancheng and Lin You's wedding ceremony. One of his men was inattentive, and let Su Mei escape again.
Song Yancheng never took that woman seriously. Just a useless chess piece, so he simply ignored it. However, he did not expect that after fifteen years, Qin Shao would find these two children. What's even more surprising was that Qin Shao not only accepted the children's existence, but actually also gave them his company's shares.
Ridiculous.
Two children that born under a scheme of others, but Qin Shao actually didn't feel them shameful.
Looking at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao, Lin You's eyes also flashed with unhappiness. That year, Su Mei ran to make a fuss at the wedding and said that she had given birth to Song Yancheng's child. Lin You and Song Yancheng quarreled more than once for this. In the end, he had no choice but to tell her the truth.
The girl's facial features were sixty to seventy percent similar to Su Mei, but their temperaments were totally different. Speaking of which, the two children resembled Qin Shao more. However, this didn't change the fact that they were Su Mei's children.
At first, Su Mei robbed her of resources, smeared her name on the internet, and later even tried to seduce her man and ruin her wedding. Although these things have long passed, they still stuck in Lin You's throat like a nauseating thorn. Now facing Su Mei's two children, it was really hard for Lin You to show a nice expression.
Chen Xueyan didn't know any of these grievances. She still wanted to start with the children to bridge the distance between the two families. Chen Xueyan looked at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao and said: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu, this is grandma's son. Next to him is his wife and their daughter, Yiyi."
"He is a year younger than your father, so he is your second uncle." Chen Xueyan pointed at Song family's couple: "Xiaoyue, Xiaoyu, call them second uncle and second aunt."
Su Bei:"...... "
This was the man who, in that nightmare, sent Su Xiaobao to prison and let her fall into the hands of a perverted director. In the novel, he also seriously injured Mr. Qin and ruined Qin Group...
Wants her to call him 'second uncle'? Sorry, it's impossible.
Su Xiaobao didn't know any of these things. But since Su Bei didn't speak, he also kept his mouth shut. He already disliked Song Xinyi, and also didn't like the Song family's couple.
Seeing the two children lowered their heads in silence, Chen Xueyan was anxious: "It was fine before, why are you suddenly shy?"
Song Yancheng looked at the twins coldly.
Noting Song Yancheng's cold eyes, Su Bei's expression tightened, and she subconsciously pulled Su Xiaobao half a step back. In fact, in terms of aura and pressure, Song Yancheng was totally inferior to Mr. Qin. Perhaps because Su Bei knew that Qin Shao was their biological father, and she could also feel that Qin Shao had no maliciousness towards them, so when she faced Qin Shao for the first time, Su Bei actually was not afraid. On the contrary, when she was facing the male lead Song Yancheng, Su Bei only felt chill all over her body.
——She sensed a murderous intent in those eyes.
Su Xiaobao also noticed the malice in Song Yancheng's gaze. With a frown, he stood in front of Su Bei, covering her with his body. His face was cold, and he stared at Song Yancheng undeterred.
——If there were thorns on Su Xiaobao's body, it would all be erected now.
The atmosphere suddenly became rigid.
At this moment, Mr. Qin's voice suddenly came from behind: "If they don't want to call, then it's up to them. What? Do my children still need to be forced to recognize relatives here?"
The moment she heard Qin Shao's voice, Su Bei's face instantly brightened. She quickly turned her head to see Qin Shao walking towards them. "Dad!" Su Bei ran at him in joy, pulling Su Xiaobao with her. The moment she reached Qin Shao's side, Su Bei's previous nervousness and fear vanished instantly. She knew that Qin Shao would never let Song Yancheng harmed them.
Seeing the two children running towards Qin Shao as if fleeing, Chen Xueyan felt very awkward and embarrassed.
On the side, Lin You snorted: "Why should they make it as if we are bullying them?"
Chen Xueyan glared at Lin You: "It's nothing, don't talk nonsense."
Since Qin Shao was here, Song Yancheng didn't want to stand drily any longer. Concealing the sharp glint in his eyes, he walked towards Qin Shao with a cold face, followed by Lin You, Song Xinyi, and finally Chen Xueyan, whose face was full of worry.
"Should I say congratulations?" Song Yancheng walked to Qin Shao, glanced at Su Bei and Su Xiaobao, and spoke with an unhidden malice.
All this time, Su Bei stood quietly beside Qin Shao, maintaining a calm and slightly disdainful face towards Song Yancheng. However, this person was the source of her nightmare after all, and Su Bei still had some fear towards him. Su Bei didn't show her fear, but Qin Shao could sense that the girl was scared from his cuff that was unconsciously gripped by her.
Mr. Qin took Su Bei's hand and held it in his palm. The girl's hand was small and soft, but he felt her temperature colder than usual.
"I don't need your congratulations." Mr. Qin replied coldly. He stared back at Song Yancheng with an even more murderous gaze and undisguised anger.
"You should save it until the time when Song Group ceases to exist." Mr. Qin's voice wasn't low, so not only Song Yancheng but also Chen Xueyan and Lin You standing nearby also turned pale instantly.
Lin You forcefully maintained the smile on her face and said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Song Group's business is currently in good condition, how can it so easily meet troubles? Besides, if Song Group really falls into a difficult situation, would family members only watched from the side?"
Chen Xueyan also said: "What's trouble, what's a difficult situation. Today is a festive day, don't mention such unlucky words."
After a pause, Chen Xueyan said again: "Just now, when you were with your dad, I asked Xiaoyue and Xiaoyu to greet their uncle and aunt. It's just that the children may be a little shy."
Lin You: "It's normal. After all, they are still unaccustomed."
...
Completely ignoring the two women, Qin Shao and Song Yancheng kept staring at each other coldly. The gunpowder could be smell from far away, and some servants even started to wonder whether the two young masters would start a fight here.
