Chapter 102  : Unexpected Slap

There was silence in the room.

Xu Yaoguang didn’t speak.

He took out his phone and called Qiao Sheng, “I don’t have Qin Ran’s phone number. Tell her to come backstage.”

Qin Yu stood there in silence.

Xu Yaoguang asked some people to check the CCTV.

At this time, Ning Qing and the Dean also rushed backstage.

“Yu’er.” Ning Qing rushed over. “What happened to your violin?”

Qin Yu didn’t want to say much and just leaned at the side, exhausted. She didn’t want to talk to Ning Qing and didn’t say it was Qin Ran.

She wasn’t sure if Ning Qing would defend Qin Ran now that she knew about her relationship with Young Master Qian.

She just said lightly, “Someone deliberately cut my violin’s string.”

Ning Qing’s chest heaved in anger and she turned directly to the Dean. “Director Ding, how could you have such vile students in your school? Please be sure to find the culprit behind this.”

Director Ding glanced at the violin strings and it had indeed been cut by a sharp weapon.

Qin Yu was from the Lin family and Ning Qing was also present, so this matter must be handled properly.

He frowned and looked at Xu Yaoguang. “Xu... Classmate Xu, have you sent someone to check the CCTV?”

“I have,” Xu Yaoguang recovered from his thoughts and said slowly.

Director Ding nodded and didn’t say anything, but he was quite distant from Xu Yaoguang even in his speech.

However, Ning Qing and Qin Yu didn’t realize it.

**

Qin Yu’s performance was right after Lin Siran’s, so Qin Ran received Qiao Sheng’s call shortly after she left the auditorium.

“Her violin strings were cut?” Qin Ran raised an eyebrow and stood in the shade for a while. She smiled in surprise. “Unexpectedly, someone actually saw through her mask?”

Qiao Sheng snorted. “Who knows? But she suspects you now...”

At this, Qiao Sheng paused. He didn’t know what Xu Yaoguang was thinking. Even if he liked Qin Yu, didn’t he know what kind of person Qin Ran was?

“She thinks it was me?” Qin Ran lowered her eyes.

Qiao Sheng responded, “Who knows what she’s thinking?”

“Qin Yu is going to confront you backstage later. Oh yes, come with whoever you were with later.” Qiao Sheng knew that this matter wouldn’t be clarified. Given Qin Yu’s skills, she could really splash dirty water on Qin Ran and frame her.

Qin Ran massaged her eyebrows.

She put the cap on her head again.

Then, she took out her phone and called Cheng Juan again.

“Wait for me for another ten minutes.” Qin Ran estimated the time and then looked at the auditorium. “I have matters to attend to.”

**

At the intersection, there was a black car with the Volkswagen logo.

Cheng Juan hung up the phone and then threw the phone aside. He glanced at the time and saw it was five o’clock.

He placed his other hand on his knee and knocked on it with his long fingers distractedly.

Lu Zhaoying looked over from the passenger seat and smiled. “Master Juan, what happened to Qin Ran?”

“She has something to do and asked us to wait a little longer,” Cheng Juan leaned on the window and said lazily.

“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying nodded. He took out his phone and called Qian Dui. “Then we’ll wait.”

Cheng Mu didn’t speak.

Aside from Qin Ran, he really couldn’t find another person in Beijing who could make the two masters wait.

**

Qiao Sheng was waiting for Qin Ran at the door.

He pondered heavily, and when Qin Ran came over, he immediately stood still and seemed to think he was useless, for he hung his head and said in frustration, “Sister Ran.”

“Yeah, let’s go in first.” Qin Ran patted his shouldered and sighed, then smiled again. “It’s fine.”

Qiao Sheng was relieved to see that she wasn’t in a bad mood, but his spirits weren’t completely lifted.

Qiao Sheng entered the dressing room with Qin Ran.

The people in the dressing room had been dismissed by Director Ding, and only a few leaders, Xu Yaoguang, and Qin Yu were left.

Qiao Sheng came in with Qin Ran.

Everyone looked over.

Ning Qing also raised her head subconsciously and stared at them.

Her eyes stayed on Qiao Sheng’s face for a while before she turned to Qin Ran and asked curiously, “Ran Ran, why are you here?”

Qin Yu had always attached great importance to the relationships around her.

Nobody else in the school except Qiao Sheng and Xu Yaoguang knew that Qin Ran was her sister.

Nobody knew Mu Ying was her cousin.

The babyface next to Qin Yu said angrily when she saw Qin Ran, “Qin Ran, why did you cut Yu’er’s violin strings?”

There were always cliques in high schools, and the babyface was in Qin Yu’s clique.

Qin Yu had always been very generous to them and was never stingy with things like limited-edition lipsticks and perfumes.

So much so that these people, like the babyface, sucked up to her.

At this time, since Qin Yu had just been harmed, the babyface naturally came forward and pointed a gun for her.

Qin Yu’s expression wasn’t good as she had just lost face in front of the school.

When she heard this, she turned her head fiercely and stared at Qin Ran with fiery eyes, full of resentment.

Ning Qing also heard the babyface and was stunned.

She couldn’t react and stared at Qin Ran in shock. “Ran Ran, you cut Yu’er’s violin strings?”

Although her tone seemed to be questioning, her face suggested otherwise.

Nobody in the dressing room knew that the Weibo incident was related to Qin Ran, but Ning Qing knew.

She stared at Qin Ran and her lips twitched.

Qin Ran squeezed her fingers, and her fingertips were cold. She stared at the teachers and the Dean in the room and took off her cap.

She ignored Ning Qing and said very politely to Director Ding and the others, “I’m not that bored. I remember there is a surveillance camera in the corridor? You can check.”

Her tone was very stable and wasn’t angry nor panicked. She talked unhurriedly and was no different from her usual image.

She held the cap in one hand, and her delicate eyebrows were still cold.

“Qin Ran, I admit that you hate me, but why did you have to do it at this time? Does it make you happy to see the whole school mock me? Are you very proud now?!” Qin Yu’s eyes were red and her hands were shaking. She walked in front of Qin Ran and without thinking, she reached out to slap her in resentment.
