Chapter 32

"Ha ha." Old Master Sheng laughed twice at Su Ningxi and said, "Come, let me introduce you. This is Grandpa's old friend. You should call him Uncle Qin."Su Ningxi politely called out, "Hello, Uncle Qin."

"Good, good," Old Master Qin laughed and said "good" twice in a row.

Old Master Sheng then pointed to the man next to Old Master Qin and said, "This is your Uncle Qin's grandson, Qin Shu, who I told you about on the phone."

Su Ningxi looked him over. He was wearing a gray suit and looked very refined and scholarly, with glasses, giving a personable impression.

Su Ningxi smiled and greeted, "Hello!"

Qin Shu was still staring blankly at Su Ningxi, not having reacted yet. Everyone thought he was dazed by Su Ningxi's beauty.

Old Master Qin kicked him under the table. Qin Shu regained his senses, stood up excitedly from his chair, and said, "It's you! You're still alive after all."

Including Su Ningxi, everyone at the table was a bit confused by Qin Shu's reaction.

Su Ningxi frowned. What was he talking about, making it sound like she had died before?

Seeing Su Ningxi's puzzled reaction, Qin Shu asked, "You don't recognize me?"

Su Ningxi shook her head. She searched her mind but didn't have any impression of Qin Shu at all. She was quite certain they had never met before.

"I think this is the first time we've met, Mr. Qin!" Sᴇaʀᴄh the ɴ0velFɪre.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of nøvels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing that Su Ningxi didn't seem to be lying, Qin Shu fell into deep thought. Could he really have mistaken her for someone else? Impossible! No matter her figure or looks, she was so similar, even her name was nearly the same, Su Xi and Su Ningxi, just one character off.

With a belly full of doubts, this was not the occasion to ask about it. He could only say, "Then I must have mistaken you for someone else, sorry about that."

Since it seemed he had mistaken her for someone else, Su Ningxi replied, "No problem."

After that, no one spoke again, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.

Old Master Sheng suggested, "Little Xi, why don't you take Little Qin outside for a walk. He just got back to the capital and isn't familiar with many places yet."

"Okay," Su Ningxi agreed.

Then looking at Qin Shu, "Let's go!"

Qin Shu stood up, "I'll have to trouble you, Miss Su."

"Grandpa should have told you, I'm called Su Ningxi, so you don't have to call me Miss Su anymore. It sounds a bit awkward," Su Ningxi said.

Qin Shu looked at her and tentatively asked, "If you don't mind, then may I call you Ning...xi?"

He still wasn't quite used to it. He had always called her Ningxi before.

Su Ningxi said, "Whatever, it's just a way of addressing someone, no need to get too hung up over it."

Soon Su Ningxi brought him outside. Since it was still early, remembering the experience of being ratted out by the previous matchmaking partner, this time she had to make a good impression and absolutely could not give the other party a chance to complain about her.

She turned to look at Qin Shu, "Where do you want to go play?"

Before he could even speak, Su Ningxi went on, "Nevermind, you're not familiar with the capital, no point asking you. Why don't I take you to see the car racing!"

"You're also interested in car racing?" Su Ningxi's words made Qin Shu's heart, which had just calmed down, get excited again.

Su Ningxi tilted her head looking at him, "Also? So you also like car racing?"

Qin Shu humbly said, "I'm not very good at it."

Su Ningxi said gallantly, "No problem, I'll take you along later."

Soon Su Ningxi brought him to the back hills.

There were many people today. According to rumors, a racing team was holding training races here. As soon as they got out of the car, they could hear the deafening cheers.

"It's really lively today! Looks like we came at just the right time."

As soon as Su Ningxi got out of the car, she ran towards where there were more people, with Qin Shu following closely behind.

Su Ningxi's looks were too stunning. Qin Shu following behind her instead looked like a bodyguard. Wherever they went attracted quite a lot of eyes, but this did not affect Su Ningxi at all. She had grown up being envied and admired, and was already used to this kind of gaze.

Although Qin Shu was not very handsome, he also came from a prestigious family, so he was not surprised by such a small scene.

Su Ningxi brought him to pick a car, finally stopping in front of a red one, her eyes lighting up, "This one."

Qin Shu's eyes flashed with imperceptible appreciation. He had to say, this car was indeed the best model of all the cars he had seen. His heart was even more convinced that she was the same person as his past lover, he just didn't know why she didn't recognize him. He had intentionally probed just now but didn't find out anything. So there was only one possibility, she had lost her memory.

"Su Ningxi." At this time, an annoying voice rang out.

Su Ningxi paused for a moment but did not turn around, pretending not to have heard it. She said to Qin Shu, "Let's get in the car!"

Qin Shu nodded. Someone was calling her, he knew she had heard it, but Su Ningxi's reaction clearly showed she didn't want to respond. He didn't say anything more about it.

The person was Sheng Wei.

Seeing Su Ningxi ignore her, she walked over and grabbed Su Ningxi's arm, "What are you running for? I called you, didn't you hear?"

Su Ningxi forcefully pried open her hand grabbing her arm, "Did you call me? I didn't hear anything! Why are you calling me?"

"Good huh, weren't you home meeting a match today? Yet you actually ran out on a date with another man. I'm going to tell Grandpa on you." Seeing her with another man, Sheng Wei felt like she had caught Su Ningxi red-handed.

"Go ahead," Su Ningxi was too lazy to explain to her.

"And you are?" Qin Shu asked Su Ningxi.

Not wanting to say it was her cousin, Su Ningxi said, "Sheng Wei, my uncle's daughter."

"Nice to meet you Miss Sheng! I'm Qin Shu, the match Old Master Sheng introduced to Ningxi," Qin Shu greeted her and explained on Su Ningxi's behalf.

"You're her matchmaking partner?" Sheng Wei looked Qin Shu up and down. He looked pretty ordinary! And here she had thought Grandpa would introduce an exceptionally handsome and wealthy man to Su Ningxi!

But no matter how ordinary, she still didn't want Su Ningxi to get her way. She wanted to steal him away and dump him, to let Su Ningxi know her charm was no less than hers.

She had to make a good impression on him. "Are you going racing? Let's go together!"

Sheng Wei was very confident in her car racing skills.

Qin Shu did not immediately agree, but looked to Su Ningxi and asked, "What do you think, Ningxi?"

Su Ningxi readily agreed, "Sure, why not!"

Sheng Wei knew exactly what she was thinking. If she really had the ability to seduce Qin Shu, she would have to thank her!

Wanting to sit next to Qin Shu, Sheng Wei asked, "Mr. Qin, which car did you pick?"

Qin Shu said, "Ningxi and I are taking one car."

Sheng Wei was very unhappy inside but maintained a gentle appearance on her face. "Is that so? Why don't you come with me instead? My skills are better than hers. It'll be safer for you to be with me."

"No need, I trust her," Qin Shu said, then got into Su Ningxi's car.

Sheng Wei resentfully stamped her feet where she stood.

Sheng Wei and her friend took one car, Su Ningxi and Qin Shu another. As they drove the cars to the track and waited for the signal to start, Sheng Wei said to Su Ningxi with faux concern, "Ningxi, safety first. Don't push yourself later, it's okay if you lose."

Su Ningxi completely ignored her.
