Chapter 110  : Mysterious Master Ran, Rejecting a Symbol of Peace

Cheng Mu had come over to help Qin Ran settle this problem.

He hadn’t thought much when he first knew about it, but now that Hao Dui mentioned it, he started to compare the two of them.

He had been thinking about Hao Dui’s words while on the way here.

Naturally, he thought far more than that. Their connections in Beijing were far deeper than in Yun Cheng, so Cheng Mu began to think about how much trouble Qin Ran would cause in Beijing.

Cheng Mu didn’t expect Feng Loulan’s reaction.

“Apologize?” Cheng Mu cleared his throat.

Feng Loulan’s judgment of people was obviously good for her to be able to become the Chairman. She could tell at first glance that Cheng Mu and Hao Dui weren’t locals and weren’t ordinary.

She thought about it and associated them with Qin Ran.

“This is all a misunderstanding. I have already explained it to Ms. Qin this morning.” Feng Loulan smiled.

Hao Dui was stunned and turned to whisper to him, “How could it be...”

“Excuse us.” Cheng Mu turned back and nodded to Feng Loulan.

He saw that Hao Dui was still in shock.

Cheng Mu directly dragged him away.

Hao Dui returned to his senses when they arrived at the elevator. He wiped his face and looked at Cheng Mu a little awkwardly. “How did she know Feng Loulan?”

They didn’t know that Qin Ran had already resolved this matter in the morning.

Cheng Mu didn’t speak.

He also didn’t know.

“Who is it?” Qian Jinyu was playing with his phone in the ward with his head lowered.

Feng Loulan was deep in thought. “Ms. Qin’s people.”

At the mention of Qin Ran, Qian Jinyu had a toothache. What was more desperate than provoking someone who was more powerful and had a bigger background than him?

“That Qin Yu obviously said that Qin Ran didn’t have any background, and I wanted to be the hero that saved the beauty.” Qian Jinyu frowned. “Who knew that she would beat me up too.”

Feng Loulan stood by the bed, took out a cigarette from her cigarette case, and looked at him sarcastically. “I could tell that Qin Yu isn’t a good person at first glance. Now you’ve learned your lesson.”

Qian Jinyu and a little depressed, then he glanced at Feng Loulan. “Dad is here.”

Feng Loulan smothered the cigarette extremely skillfully and threw it into the trash can.

She turned her head and pointed to her son on the bed before complaining. “Qian Jinyu smoked.”

Qian Dui glanced at Qian Jinyu and said, “You don’t seem like a twenty-two-year-old at all. When will you learn from Ms. Qin and stop causing trouble for me? Go back to Beijing tomorrow.”

Qian Jinyu was very tired and covered his head with a quilt. “Okay.”

The school’s medical office.

Qin Ran was still asleep at 12:30 pm.

Lu Zhaoying gave medicine to a boy who had been struck by a basketball.

Cheng Juan was studying a set of silver needles inside the room.

Cheng Mu just brought back the meal from En Yu Hotel.

Cheng Juan glanced sideways at Qin Ran. She was still asleep and the black blanket covered her chin.

He had pulled the curtains apart just now to let some light into the room. Though it was still a little dark, he could see her drooping eyelashes and the shallow shadow under the bottom of her eyes.

When she woke up, she was more obedient, but she was still frowning. Her complexion was pale and her lips were pale as well.

Cheng Juan got up and crouched down beside the sofa, pulling the blanket off her.

“Qin Ran?” He called softly, “Get up.”

He deliberately lowered his voice and said with his usual lazy tone, but it was also like a gentle breeze blowing across the lake, rippling the surface slightly and unknowingly warm.

Qin Ran’s sleep quality hadn’t been good and she had kept dreaming infinitely even when asleep.

There was only endless darkness in her dreams.

It was filled with violent blood and corpses everywhere.

While in a hazy trance, she seemed to hear an echo in her ear. The deliberately lowered voice echoed in her ear and collided with her dream, causing it to instantly shatter like a broken mirror.

Qin Ran opened her eyes groggily.

She saw a somewhat enlarged face in front of her.

She recognized that it was Cheng Juan and sat up. “What time is it?”

Her voice was husky because she had just woken up.

Cheng Juan lowered his head and handed her phone to her. “It’s 12:30 pm, time to wash your face and have lunch.”

“Oh.” Qin Ran yawned and slowly pulled the blanket away. She wanted to fold it, but Cheng Juan took it away.

Cheng Juan threw the blanket directly aside and lifted his chin towards her. “Wash your face first.”

By the time Qin Ran washed her face, Cheng Mu had already prepared the meal.

She stretched her hands lazily and pulled back a chair.

But someone was one step ahead of her.

Cheng Mu pulled the chair for her and then helped her pour a cup of tea. He said in a buzzing voice, “Ms. Qin, your tea.”

Qin Ran had already felt Cheng Mu’s attitude change towards her when she came in the morning, but she wasn’t very interested in it.

She just didn’t expect Cheng Mu to change again when she woke up.

Qin Ran glanced at him.

Cheng Mu blushed.

Qin Ran smiled and looked away. She sat down, supported her chin, and said slowly, “Thank you.”

**

Qin Ran returned to class 3.9 after lunch.

Cheng Juan looked up after she left and glanced at Cheng Mu before asking casually, “How did things go?”

Cheng Mu lowered his head and was silent for a while. “By the time I went, Ms. Qin had already settled it with Feng Loulan.”

He stated the matter again.

Then, he pursed his lips. He had indeed been biased against Qin Ran when he first came.

But after Qin Ran saved him last time, his prejudice had fallen.

People always lived by comparing to each other, so he would often compare his goddess to Qin Ran subconsciously.

He would always find shortcomings in Qin Ran.

But now, after looking at it from a spectator’s point of view, Cheng Mu found Qin Ran to be rather fascinating.

She was a normal high school student on the surface, but she knew Qian Dui and Feng Loulan...

He wouldn’t have thought so much if Hao Dui hadn’t been involved.

Cheng Juan heard this and nodded, seemingly unsurprised. “I understand. You don’t have to come here from tomorrow onwards, just follow Hao Dui and investigate.”

Cheng Mu’s expression changed and he didn’t dare to say anything.

Lu Zhaoying kicked the table and slid his chair back as he saw Cheng Mu sag his head and walk out.

He couldn’t help but turn to him. “What were you talking about?”

Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes and ignored him, deep in thought.

Lu Zhaoying didn’t wait for Cheng Juan to answer and saw a short-haired girl carefully push the door open and enter from the corner of his eye.

He recognized at one glance that it was Qin Ran’s friend, Pan Mingyue.

“Are you sick?” Lu Zhaoying turned, lowered his legs, and sat upright.

Pan Mingyue lowered her head and looked towards Lu Zhaoying’s direction. She only saw his pale jaw and replied softly, “I’m here to buy medicine.”

“Medicine?” Lu Zhaoying spun a pen in his hand and smiled. “What medicine?”

Pan Mingyue was silent for a long while before she said, “Aripiprazole. Ran Ran said you had it.”

Lu Zhaoying stopped spinning the pen.

Aripiprazole was an antipsychotic drug.

Pan Mingyue clenched her hands tightly.

At this time, Cheng Juan, who had been leaning on the side and talking to Cheng Mu, raised his head and walked naturally to the medicine cabinet. He asked calmly, “How many boxes?”

“Two.” Pan Mingyue lowered her head.

“Okay, sign here,” Cheng Juan said in an extremely casual tone, took out two boxes of the medicine, and threw it onto the table.

Pan Mingyue pursed her lips and lowered her head to sign her name.

She took the medicine and was about to leave. Lu Zhaoying heard her say “thank you” in a very shallow voice.

The first class in the afternoon was English class.

Qin Ran took out the new materials she had brought before and put them on the table. Lin Siran leaned over and asked, “Ran Ran, what did you do in the morning?”

Qin Ran leaned against the wall and pulled out a lollipop. She replied casually, “Private matters.”

Lin Siran had wanted to ask if it had something to do with Qian Jinyu, but she saw that she was okay and didn’t ask.

Li Airong walked in with the new materials.

She knew the materials onto the podium and swept her eyes across the room. “Everyone, turn to page 37.”

When she saw Qin Ran, she frowned. She also had a lesson with class 3.9 in the morning and naturally knew that Qin Ran hadn’t been there.

After finishing a multiple-choice question, Li Airong said, “Your class’s exam results are the worst amongst all my other classes. The midterm exam is coming next week and there are still many people who aren’t studying hard. Don’t tell people that you’re from First Middle School nor that I was your teacher when you’re out.”

She spoke to the class, but her eyes fell on Qin Ran.

Class 3.9 wasn’t the top class. Other than Xu Yaoguang, their results weren’t particularly outstanding, and Li Airong only took two classes.

One of them was her top class, class 3.1, and the other was class 3.9.

She was used to teaching the top hundred students in class 3.1 and naturally disliked class 3.9.

While discussing problems, she would often say “nobody from class 3.1 got this question wrong”.

Class 3.9 was mostly used to it.

Li Airong continued talking for a few minutes and class 3.9 basically ignored her. She finally ended her lesson while suppressing her anger.

When she reached the office, she saw Gao Yang smiling and couldn’t help but ridicule him. “Teacher Gao, you should take better care of the group of students in your class. They’re already in high school and still skip class. I already told you not to accept any random student.”

Gao Yang explained to her calmly, “She didn’t skip class, she took leave. Teacher Li, don’t judge a student with a biased opinion.”

He took out a piece of paper from the drawer and handed it to Li Airong.

Then, he took his lesson plan and went to class.

He was extremely relaxed and not in the least bit stressed.

“What’s the difference?” Li Airong muttered under her breath. She stared at Gao Yang’s back and pursed her lips. “The last place is in your class, just look at how suffocating your class is. It’ll be a miracle if she can pass the exam next week.”

The other teachers in the office lowered their heads and didn’t speak.

It was Saturday.

Qin Ran first went to find Chen Shulan as usual.

When she reached, Ning Wei, Mu Nan, and Mu Ying were already there.

Chen Shulan’s expression was even more exhausted.

Qin Ran lowered her head and cut an apple for her in silence.

After a while, the door was pushed open and Ning Qing came in while carrying a pile of things.

Ning Wei took two steps forward and took the things from Ning Qing’s hand. She saw that nobody was with her and asked, “Sister, where’s Yu’er? She didn’t come?”

Ning Qing smiled. “She’s packing up at home. She’s flying to Beijing tomorrow to visit her master.”

“Oh.” Ning Wei smiled. “She will definitely become a master in the future. Yu’er is so promising.”

Mu Ying sat on the stool in the room and looked forward. “Beijing is so prosperous, Second Cousin is so impressive.”

Mu Nan took the apples that Qin Ran had cut and placed them on the table. Then, he sat down and looked down at his notebook.

Ning Qing was naturally happy to hear someone praise Qin Yu.

“Ran Ran.” Ning Qing stopped her when Qin Ran was about to leave. She lowered her voice and said, “I have a piece of good news to tell you. Chairman Feng wants you to enter Feng Corporation. Feng Corporation’s business is much bigger than our Lin family’s.”

Ning Qing couldn’t contact Qin Ran and knew that she would ignore her even if she went to the school.

So, she had come to see Chen Shulan to say this to her.

“What Feng family?” Ning Wei was surprised. “Isn’t Ran Ran still in school?”

“That Feng family is a noble family in Yun Cheng. Their business is in Beijing and Chairman Feng’s brother is Mayor Feng.” Ning Qing smiled. “She took a fancy to Ran Ran and wanted Ran Ran to join her business in the future.”

When she heard that the Feng family was bigger than the Lin family, Mu Ying couldn’t help but glance at Qin Ran.

Especially when Ning Qing added the thing about Feng Loucheng.

Even Ning Qing had been shocked when she heard about Feng Loucheng, so Mu Ying, who was just an ordinary high school student, was so shocked that she gasped.

The name Feng Loucheng could only be heard in the newspaper or seen on the news.

After hearing from Ning Qing that he knew Qin Ran, she was shocked. She always thought that Qin Ran’s luck was as bad as hers.

They were sisters, but Qin Yu could live in a luxurious house and ride a luxurious car.

But Qin Ran could only stay in a dilapidated town with Chen Shulan.

She didn’t expect that she was completely different from what she had imagined.

Qin Ran slowly poked a slice of apple from the plate and ate it slowly, ignoring Ning Qing.

“This is a once in a lifetime opportunity.” Ning Qing wasn’t bothered and persuaded Qin Ran gently. “Ran Ran, have you thought about it clearly?”

Qin Ran bit the apple and poked another slice before she looked up and said, “No.”
