nEveryone in the corridor was focused on Feng Loulan.

nThey all looked at her when she paused.

nOld Master Lin didn’t expect Feng Loulan to stop so suddenly. He thought that she had discovered that it was Qin Ran who had hit Qian Jinyu, so he turned sideways and frowned deeply.

nLin Qi had told him that Qin Ran was rebellious, so he hoped that she wouldn’t cause trouble again.

nOld Master Lin stared at Qin Ran with a solemn face.

nFeng Loulan was a career woman and her eyebrows were thick even though she didn’t deliberately touch up on them. Her eyebrows converged with a rare sharpness that other people didn’t have, and she even held a cigarette in her hand.

nWhen she looked over, Ning Qing’s heart jumped and she was shocked.

nQin Yu had just been ignored by Feng Loulan and was feeling depressed, but when she saw her staring at Qin Ran, she pursed her lips and covered the smirk on her face.

n“Do I… know you?” Qin Ran put away her phone slowly and narrowed her eyes slightly at Feng Loulan.

nAfter thinking for a while, she still couldn’t think of any relevant memory.

nFeng Loulan subconsciously pinched the cigarette in her hand, smiled, and said in a light voice, “You may not know me, but I’ve seen your photos.”

nHer title as the King of Hell of the Feng family made everyone in the financial market tremble in fear. She did as she pleased, so everyone who discussed business with Feng Loulan knew how difficult she was to deal with.

nIt could be seen from the way she had ignored Qin Yu and Ning Qing.

nBut now that she was talking to Qin Ran, although her voice wasn’t considered gentle, it was much better than when she had talked to Old Master Lin.

n“You really failed to recognize a familiar person.” Feng Loulan smiled at Old Master Lin and wasn’t in a hurry to leave. She turned around and opened the door of the ward, letting everyone in before saying amiably, “Come in.”

nThere was no sharp edge to her tone.

nQin Yu stood at the side and froze, the irony and joy on her face disappearing after a few seconds.

nNing Qing stood on the spot and looked at Feng Loulan like she was a different person. She also turned her head and saw that Qin Ran’s expression was also shocked.

nOther than these two, even a well-informed man like Old Master Lin also didn’t anticipate this development.

nHe looked up with deep eyes and said, “Chairman Feng, this…”

nOld Master Lin wasn’t overreacting.

nFrom yesterday to now, many people had come to visit Qian Jinyu, but only a few people could actually enter the room.

nOld Master Lin had gone in for less than a minute before Feng Loulan had brought him out.

nThis showed Feng Loulan’s serious attitude towards this matter.

nIt was so easy for her to enter now?

n“Mom—” One of Qian Jinyu’s eye was bruised. He was lying on the bed playing with his phone when he saw Qin Ran and the others enter. He stared and pointed at her. “She, she…”

nFeng Loulan reached out and pressed his finger back, then slapped him on the head again and pressed his forehead. “What? Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Qin!”

nQian Jinyu was shocked.

nWhat Ms. Qin?

n“I…” Qian Jinyu stuttered.

n“You what?” Feng Loulan let go of his hand and sneered. “You only know how to mess around all day. Take a look at yourself, how are you worthy of Ms. Qin? You’re chasing someone out of your league. Hurry up and apologize to Ms. Qin!”

n“I’m sorry.” Qian Jinyu touched his head. “Although I was in the wrong, you beat us up too, so we’re considered even.”

n“Even?” Feng Loulan crossed her arms, stood at the foot of the bed, and said ironically to Qian Jinyu, “You’ll know how light Ms. Qin hit you once your Dad comes over.”

nQian Jinyu wasn’t afraid of anything other than his father, and his expression changed drastically. “Mom… what does this have to do with Dad?”

nFeng Loulan glanced at him in good spirits and didn’t bother explaining to him. She turned to face Qin Ran and became gentle again. “Ms. Qin, if I had known that this kid had been harassing you, I would have dragged him over to apologize to you. Sigh… did he cause trouble for you?”

n“I didn’t,” Qian Jinyu shouted. Qin Ran dug her ear and glanced at them before finally focusing on Feng Loulan. She was silent for a few seconds before she said politely, “Oh, so Chairman Feng is from Qian Dui’s family.”

n“Just call me Aunt Feng.” Feng Loulan smiled softly.

nWhile the two of them spoke, the remaining four people in the ward were frozen like sculptures.

nFeng Loulan invited Qin Ran to dinner, but she rejected her and turned her head. “I’ll talk about this matter with Qian Dui later. I still have class, so I’ll go back first.”

nFeng Loulan led her to the door and wanted to send her downstairs, but Qin Ran stopped her.

nWhen Feng Loulan returned to the ward, she was confronted with a strange atmosphere inside.

n“Old Master Lin, you should have told me that you were a relative of Ms. Qin,” Feng Loulan said with a rare smile. “Ms. Qin saved Old Qian last time, and her computer skills far exceed that of the average person. I didn’t expect her to be a part of your Lin family.”

nFeng Loulan’s praise was unabashed.

n“Her computer skills?” Old Master didn’t know what she meant.

nNing Qing returned to her senses and looked up. “Yes, she restored a video last time.”

n“Ms. Qin is very impressive.” Feng Loulan took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. “It would be nice if she could enter my company in the future.”

nThis sentence shocked Old Master Lin even more. “It would be her honor to join the Feng Corporation.”

nFeng Loulan looked at Old Master Lin in shock.

n“Is something wrong with what I said?” Old Master Lin didn’t understand why she was shocked.

nFeng Loulan withdrew her gaze and said softly, “Nothing.”

n**

nAfter being sent out by Feng Loulan, Old Master Lin still didn’t understand the meaning behind Feng Loulan’s shock.

nThey went down in silence.

nOld Master Lin moved his lips and looked at Ning Qing with a kind expression. “I didn’t expect Ran Ran to know Chairman Feng, this helped save us a lot of trouble. Have they known each other for a long time?”

nAfter coming to the Lin family for so many years, Ning Qing was overwhelmed at being treated so kindly by Old Master Lin for the first time.

n“I’m not sure.” Ning Qing was also confused. Since the last time Qin Ran had recovered the surveillance footage, Ning Qing had discovered that her daughter seemed different from what she had thought.

nShe never knew that Qin Ran would actually know someone like Feng Loulan.

nWhy did Qin Ran never tell her?

n“It’s good that she knows her. You’re very blessed, your daughters are exceedingly outstanding.” Old Master Lin was full of smiles.

nLin Jinxuan wasn’t clear about the surveillance footage matter and asked Ning Qing in a low voice.

nNing Qing was flustered at being talked to so politely by the Lin family.

nQin Yu followed behind them with a forceful smile.

nShe didn’t know what other expressions she could use to cover her distorted heart.

nShe listened to Old Master Lin, Lin Jinxuan, and Ning Qing talking about Qin Ran continuously and almost went crazy with jealousy.

nSince the last time, she found that Ning Qing was always involuntarily distracted, and subconsciously paid attention to news about Qin Ran and Lin Jinxuan…

nNow there was Feng Loulan as well. If Feng Loulan really recruited Qin Ran into the Feng Corporation and was hired, then what position would she fall in the Lin family?

nQin Yu only felt like Feng Loulan’s sentence had been to recruit Qin Ran, but she didn’t know that Feng Loulan had never thought of that from beginning to end. Where did she have the courage to hire Qin Ran?

nBut Qin Yu only thought of it this way and felt her heart aching terribly.

n**

nAt this time, Qin Ran didn’t know what Qin Yu and the others were thinking.

nShe went to visit Chen Shulan on the way.

nBefore she entered, she went to find Chen Shulan’s attending doctor.

nThe attending doctor was a middle-aged man who was looking through his cases at the moment.

n“Are you a family member of patient Chen Shulan?” When Qin Ran came in, he put down his documents and pointed to the chair opposite. “Sit.”

nQin Ran sat opposite and put her hand on the edge of the table. “Doctor, my grandma has been in low spirits recently.”

n“Her indicators are falling.” The doctor pursed his lips. “I can only do my best.”

nQin Ran’s fingertips struck the table very slowly and her eyes deepened.

nShe had always been unbridled and casual as if nothing could stop her, but when she stopped talking in such a serious manner, she was actually quite imposing.

nChen Shulan’s attending doctor didn’t dare to look her squarely in the eyes.

n“If you need anything, just tell me.” Qin Ran retracted her hands and pressed her temple. Then, she coughed lightly and said, “You have my mobile number, so you can call me directly if anything happens.”

n“Ok.” The attending doctor nodded.

nQin Ran took her phone and left.

nThe attending doctor looked at Qin Ran’s back and felt strange. She was obviously just a high school student, but he was breathless when facing her as compared to Lin Qi.

nQin Ran left the hospital and walked to the street.

nShe took out her phone and dialed a number.

nThe person picked up after two rings.

nGu Xichi still looked good as he raised his eyebrow in surprise. “Why did you find me suddenly?”

nQin Ran bought a bottle of water from the vending machine and took a sip before calmly asking, “Are you still in the Middle East?”

n“Yeah.” Gu Xichi found a cool place and continued, “Are you alright?”

n“No.” Qin Ran lowered her eyes and said in a light voice, “I want you to come back and see my grandma.”

nHumans grew old and there was no return.

nGu Xichi stared at Qin Ran and swallowed his words before laughing. “Okay, I’ll go back quickly once I’m done.”

nQin Ran put the lid on her water bottle. “Thanks.”

n“It’s a small thing,” Gu Xichi smoked a cigarette and said vaguely. “But you have to cover my whereabouts, many people in the country are investigating me.”

n“Don’t worry about that.” Qin Ran threw away the water bottle in her hand and said slowly, “With me around, nobody can trace you.”

nAlthough her words were absent-minded, the sense of unbridled wildness almost poured out of her.

n“You should take it easy too.” Gu Xichi shook his head and chuckled. “Find an organization to join quickly. You’re still young and daring, but I might not be able to get you out if you get caught by someone.”

nQin Ran glanced at the camera. Her black hair fell over her brow bones and she said with her eyes closed, “Let them come at me.”

n**

nWhen Qin Ran arrived at school, it was only ten-thirty.

nLin Jinxuan had given her a morning off.

nQin Ran was feeling annoyed while holding her phone. She got off the bus and covered the sun with her hand, her lips pursed tightly.

nShe thought about it and didn’t head to class, but turned the corner to walk towards the school doctor’s office instead.

nThe school medical office.

nHao Dui sat on a chair casually and threw a stack of documents on the table.

nCheng Mu picked them up and looked at it, then knocked on the door and sent it to Cheng Juan.

n

nWhen he came back again, Hao Dui stared at him strangely while leaning against his chair. “Cheng Mu, Master Juan did that to check on the Feng family?”

nCheng Mu glanced at him. “Yeah.”

nHe hadn’t asked who Lin Siran and Qin Ran had fought with last night, but he was quite clear about the other things.

nHao Dui had just brought over Qian Jinyu’s details.

nHow bold of him to take a fancy to Qin Ran?

n“The Feng family dared to provoke Master Juan?” Hao Dui put his hands on his laps, unconvinced.

n“No, it’s because of Ms. Qin.” Cheng Mu turned over a few pages and continued, “She fought with Qian Jinyu. I heard rumors that they will look for her today.”

nHao Dui heard this, glanced at Cheng Mu, and said in a low voice, “So she’s here to find Master Juan? She can’t even handle such a trivial matter and still had to find Master Juan to help her out. She’s no different than those other women, then. Why does Master Juan like her?”

nHao Dui could only think so far.

nIt wasn’t his fault.

nEveryone’s reaction would be the same after hearing Cheng Mu’s words.

n

nCheng Mu looked up. “No, she didn’t say a single word. Master Juan guessed it himself.”

n“She didn’t tell Master Juan?” Hao Dui was shocked.

nThe two of them were talking.

nNot far away, a figure approached them.

nIt was noon and Qin Ran should be in class.

nWhy was she here all of a sudden?

nHao Dui raised an eyebrow towards Cheng Mu. Look, I was right, wasn’t I?

n“That Qian Jinyu is indeed difficult to deal with, but it’s not wrong to find Master Juan, is it?” Although Cheng Mu said this, he frowned and felt slightly disappointed.
