Chapter 35 Young Age Seduces Men Skillfully!

After saying this, she carried herself gracefully and said charmingly, “I didn’t expect to meet Third Lord. Uncle must be very happy to see you.”

The old man laughed, “You, this girl, really know how to talk. It’s lively when you visit me more often.”

Qin Mo stood by the old man’s side, with a calm and cold expression.

As for Zhang Rui, he had long lost his impression of her.

Last time at Shuhui Xiaoguan, he didn’t even look at her directly, his gaze fixed on Jiang Wansheng.

How couldn’t the old man see Zhang Rui’s lingering gaze on Qin Mo?

He felt a headache. When Qin Mo didn’t mention liking anyone before, he turned a blind eye to Zhang’s attentiveness, thinking that they were a good match, and the girl was humble and polite. If it worked out, it would be fine.

But now that he had someone in his heart, he naturally couldn’t let Zhang Rui have any more thoughts. It just happened that he would clarify things during lunch today.

Having made up his mind, he urged Qin Mo to leave, “Don’t you have a meeting? Go quickly, don’t bother me here.”

Qin Mo lazily smiled, “Alright, I won’t bother you.”

Zhang Rui was taken aback.

Why… is he leaving already?

Didn’t they meet before?

Last time things were unpleasant, and she wanted to explain to him.

She hurriedly spoke, “Shall I escort you?”

Only then did Qin Mo shift his gaze slightly towards her, raising an eyebrow with a hint of mockery.

As if saying: This is my home, why would I need you to escort me?

Zhang Rui felt a moment of embarrassment, her hand clenched the hem of her skirt on the side.

But seeing the rare opportunity with Third Lord, she couldn’t give up. Just as she was about to brazenly approach, she was blocked by the old man’s cane.

“Zhang family girl, accompany this old man for a meal.”

The old man’s tone was still gentle but not open to objections.

Watching Qin Mo’s figure move away, a hint of unwillingness flashed in Zhang Rui’s eyes.

Turning back, she put on a smile again, supporting the old man’s arm on one side, “Hey, let me help you over.”

The old man didn’t know about the conflict between Zhang Rui and Jiang Wansheng. Zhang Rui had a good reputation outside, and apart from some subtle thoughts towards Qin Mo, she hadn’t played any tricks, so the old man still gave her face.

She graciously helped him walk to the dining room.

…

The servant served the dishes, Zhang Rui smiled and handed a bowl of corn mushroom soup to the old man, “Uncle, have some soup to moisten your throat first.”

The old man smiled amiably, “Good, Zhang family girl, you’re considerate.”

Zhang Rui said politely, “Where are you talking? As long as you don’t mind, I can come over every day to accompany you for meals.”

Zhang Rui tried to get closer.

Old Master Qin scooped the soup with a spoon but remained silent.

Zhang Rui took a bite of the food, pursed her lips, and smiled slightly, “Qin Mo came to see you today, and you seem happy, looking several years younger.”

“Yes, that brat finally remembered his old man.”

“Qin Mo is so busy with work, he can’t come often to see you, but he must be concerned. I’m also busy with work and sometimes can’t take care of my parents, but I always worry about their health.” She knew how to talk to elders, very gentle and considerate.

Old Master Qin continued, “You are considerate. Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed. You should be around 26 this year, why haven’t your parents mentioned marriage to you?”

Zhang Rui’s movements stiffened.

The old man was well aware of her feelings for Qin Mo, and he had indulged her in the past. Why did he now sound like he had no intention of fulfilling her wishes?

Suppressing her inner thoughts, she half-jokingly said, “Qin Mo is only 27, the right age. You know, I admire Qin Mo the most and want to follow his example in building a career before discussing marriage. Could it be that Qin Mo has made progress, and that’s why you’re urging me now?”

Old Master Qin was insightful and understood that her words hinted at her interest in Qin Mo and were testing his attitude. This girl had a clever mind, though young, she couldn’t hide her emotions.

He bluntly stated, “Exactly, that brat just came to tell me he’s interested in a girl and even said he would bring her over for me to meet.”

“Clang—”

The porcelain spoon suddenly fell to the ground, crisp and split into two halves.

Zhang Rui quickly regained her composure, bending down to hide the unpleasant expression on her face.

The servant hurried over to assist, replacing her with a new spoon.

Old Master Qin calmly continued eating, and when she tidied up, he smiled lightly, “Look at how scared Zhang girl is.”

Zhang Rui was restless, her smile almost difficult to maintain on her face, “Why is this so sudden, Qin Mo hasn’t always been…”

Her words abruptly stopped.

That girl from ShuHui Xiaoguan!

Apart from her, there hadn’t been any other women close to Qin Mo recently!

What a clever little girl, skilled at seducing men at such a young age!

Old Master Qin caught a glimpse of the situation, “What’s wrong, Zhang Rui, haven’t you met the girl he’s interested in?”

Although his eyes showed a hint of transcendental indifference due to old age, the underlying sharp pressure was still not to be underestimated. At that moment, he looked at Zhang Rui lightly, making her feel a chill down her spine.

She quickly suppressed her resentful emotions, putting on her signature light smile again, “We’ve met by chance, but I’m not sure if she’s the one Qin Mo has set his eyes on.”

As she spoke, her expression suddenly became subtle, and her tone sounded somewhat regretful, “If it’s her…”

She paused halfway through her sentence, seeming hesitant to continue.

Seeing her hesitant expression, Old Master Qin’s gaze became somewhat meaningful, “Hmm? Go ahead and speak, there’s nothing taboo here.”

She looked hesitant, “I’m not sure how to say it. I’ve seen this girl with Weizhao, they’re friends. Weizhao, being so kind, probably noticed something difficult for her and asked Qin Mo to help take care of her.”

“That day, I went to Shuhui Xiaoguan to have dinner with friends and happened to catch a glimpse of Qin Mo. I wanted to go say hello.”

“But this girl is very articulate.” She smiled helplessly, “I guess she saw me as a rival and gave me a good scolding. I’m a few years older than her, but I couldn’t gain any advantage from her.”

Old Master Qin continued to drink his soup without looking at her, speaking gently, “So this happened.”

“Qin Mo didn’t speak after that, probably feeling protective, and it didn’t look good, so I left.” She added a touch of grievance.

She cleverly concealed half of her words, making it seem like she politely greeted the girl but was targeted by her, and when Qin Mo arrived, she acted weak and innocent, trying to sow discord between her and Qin Mo.

Completely playing the victim.

Listening, Old Master Qin added meaningfully, “This girl is quite capable.”

Zhang Rui thought Old Master Qin was referring to Jiang Wansheng’s deep scheming and continued to fuel the fire.

“Yes, this girl is young but quite scheming. Although Qin Mo is decisive, he’s also inexperienced in relationships. I’m worried he might be deceived by her.”

Old Master Qin remained silent for a moment, eating his meal quietly.

Seeing his reaction, Zhang Rui began to feel uncertain, unable to gauge his thoughts.

Having immersed himself in the business world for so many years, Old Master Qin could see through her little tricks, which couldn’t hold up in front of him.

He knew his grandson, his discerning eye, and how picky he was. If it was a girl who could like someone with a two-faced nature, he wouldn’t trust handing over the entire Qin family to him.

He tactfully said, “I’m old and can’t manage so much. If he likes her, let it be. I understand your feelings, but grandchildren will have their own blessings.”

He chuckled, his emotions steady, without any fluctuations.

Zhang Rui felt like punching cotton. She wasted so much effort here, and Old Master Qin remained so calm?
