Chapter 26: Shocking! An Octogenarian Grandma Dyes Her Hair in Rainbow Colors!

Qin He stared at the old lady’s once completely white hair, now partially black, too stunned to speak.

But Lin Qingqing didn’t receive any Surprise Points at all.

That was because Qin Yansen frowned and said, “Grandma, did your hair dye go wrong? Why does it look like this?”

Thank goodness her eldest grandson gave her an excuse.

And she finally understood why she hadn’t received any Surprise Points.

Because smart people would naturally assume she dyed her hair, not that she was bound to some “reverse aging system” and was gradually becoming younger.

The truth was too far-fetched for anyone to consider.

Lin Qingqing smiled and ruffled her short hair. “Highlights—aren’t they trendy now? I was thinking of dyeing it rainbow-colored in a few days. What do you all think?”

“!!!”

【System: Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully gained 20 Surprise Points and can now become 2 years younger. Current physical state: 49 years old.】

Qin Yansen and Qin He found it hard to imagine how jaw-dropping it would be for an eighty-year-old lady to go out with rainbow-colored hair.

Even young people wouldn’t dare dye their hair like that so easily!

It was too ahead of the curve—Grandma’s spirit was just way too avant-garde.

Compared to the flustered Qin Yansen and Qin He, Qin Haishan and Yang Chun remained calm. Other than a trace of confusion on their faces, there were no excessive reactions.

After all, as middle-aged people who had been through countless ups and downs, they weren’t like the younger generation—shocked at every little thing.

Lin Qingqing felt secretly delighted.

Her family was the best. She loved her family members who provided her with Surprise Points the most!

They deserved a reward—an extra generous one!

But why were the Surprise Points always less than the first day?

Probably because these recent actions weren’t as explosive as going to a bar to find male models on the first day, so they didn’t stir up her family’s emotions as much.

Qin He frowned and tried to persuade her: “Grandma, maybe don’t. Rainbow-colored hair… isn’t really suitable for you. Actually, it’s not suitable for humans in general.”

“Don’t discriminate against hair colors.” Lin Qingqing pulled out a chair at the dining table and sat down, beginning to enjoy her delicious breakfast.

“You…”

Just as Qin He was about to say more, Qin Haishan quickly covered his mouth, preventing him from speaking further.

Qin Haishan leaned in and whispered, “If she wants to dye her hair, let her. Better than her getting upset and going bungee jumping to calm herself again!”

Qin He had to admit—this time, his dad made perfect sense.

The four Qin family members didn’t say another word. Breakfast passed quietly.

After eating, Lin Qingqing asked the maid to make a pot of chicken soup. At noon, she carried a thermal container and headed out.

Time to bring some warmth to her little grandson.

But before visiting his company, she had one important thing to do.

When she arrived at her grandson’s company, the surprised look on the receptionist’s face made Lin Qingqing smile with satisfaction.

The receptionist immediately called the CEO’s office. After a couple of sentences, she led Lin Qingqing to the office.

Qin Jingshu was seated at his desk, eyes focused on a document. After scanning the last page, he signed his name.

Then he looked up… and froze!

Whose rainbow-colored grandma was this?!

【System: Congratulations, Host! You’ve successfully gained 10 Surprise Points and can now become 1 year younger. Current physical state: 48 years old.】

Lin Qingqing adjusted the wig on her head and looked lovingly at her grandson. “Well? Isn’t Grandma’s hair pretty?”

Qin Jingshu pressed his thin lips together. He wanted to say it wasn’t, but he was afraid of hurting the old lady’s feelings. So he braced himself and said the blatant lie: “It’s pretty.”

Then he added, “But… you looked prettier before.”

Lin Qingqing clicked her tongue internally. His expression clearly showed how much he disliked it, but his mouth still managed to throw out a compliment. And he even cleverly curved it around, picking the one kind of comment least likely to anger her—implying she should dye it back to black.

This grandson of hers… when he gets into a relationship someday, he’ll definitely have his girlfriend wrapped around his little finger.

Unfortunately, in the original novel, villain Qin Jingshu didn’t have a good ending, let alone fall in love.

Qin Jingshu only knew how to be a lunatic. Love—that was for the male and female leads.

Even though he was pretty annoying in the book, right now… he was quite endearing.

Even if she wasn’t doing it for the inheritance of the richest family, she couldn’t bear to watch Qin Jingshu go down the wrong path.

Lin Qingqing placed the thermal container on the coffee table and smiled. “Alright then, how about Grandma dyes it black tomorrow?”

“Black is fine. Makes you look younger.”

“Come on, drink the chicken soup.”

The rich aroma reached Qin Jingshu, and he unconsciously got up, sat across from the old lady, and took the bowl she had served him.

Lin Qingqing cautiously asked, “When do you plan to start working at the Qin Corporation?”

Qin Jingshu was silent for a moment, then said, “Soon. Once I finish handling things here and hand them over to Lu Zeyan, I’ll go to the Qin Corporation.”

“Great, no rush.”

Lin Qingqing was beaming inside. She felt like she was about to succeed. Once he joined the Qin Corporation and spent more time with the Qin family, wouldn’t all the misunderstandings clear up naturally?

Looking at the obedient Qin Jingshu, Lin Qingqing took the opportunity to push a bit further. “Then… would you consider moving back to the old house and living with Grandma? I miss you so much I can’t even sleep at night. Every time I close my eyes, I worry you’re not doing well out there.”

Qin Jingshu paused with his spoon, stayed silent for a while, then finally mumbled, “It’s not that I don’t want to go back. I’m just afraid they won’t welcome me.”

“How could that be? They’re all waiting for you to come back! And if anyone dares not welcome you, Grandma will break their legs!”

Lin Qingqing dramatically raised her hand as if about to beat someone up, making a smile tug at the corners of Qin Jingshu’s lips.

As he continued to look at her, a sudden thought struck him. He asked curiously, “Grandma, why do you look… younger than before?”

Lin Qingqing calmly smiled and said, “I did a little something. Spent a bit of money on my face.”

Qin Jingshu understood and nodded. Just as he was about to speak, the office door was pushed open, and Lu Zeyan walked in quickly.

As soon as Lu Zeyan saw the strange rainbow-colored figure, he felt his vision go dark.

What the heck was that?!

“You are…” He had just said two words when the rainbow blob turned around. He saw the face and took a moment to recognize who it was.

It seemed to be Qin Jingshu’s damn grandmother.

Was it his imagination, or did this old lady look a lot younger now?

Lu Zeyan quickly wiped the surprise from his face and politely greeted her, “Hello, Grandma.”

Lin Qingqing wasn’t particularly thrilled to see him, but for the sake of her little grandson, she put on a fake smile and nodded.

If Lu Zeyan wasn’t Qin Jingshu’s only brother, she definitely wouldn’t bother giving him face.

Qin Jingshu looked at Lu Zeyan and raised his brows. “Weren’t you in a meeting at the Lu Corporation? Why the sudden visit?”

Lu Zeyan glanced at the old lady, then back at Qin Jingshu. “I heard you’re planning to start working at the Qin Corporation, so I came to check. We agreed to run this company together. Now you’re just leaving me behind—don’t you think that’s a bit unfair? Besides… this place is way more comfortable than Qin Corporation. Are you sure you want to leave?”
