nLu Zhaoying was trying to draw Qin Ran in and explain the matter to her.

nBut he didn’t expect that after he finished, Qin Ran remained silent and her expression was still indifferent.

nShe even picked some vegetables for herself with her chopsticks.

nShe felt undulated inside.

nLu Zhaoying waited for Qin Ran to ask him about the detective agency, about what Team Leader Qian did… and so on.

n“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, and smiled. “Really, why did I tell you all these.”

nShe didn’t understand, anyway.

nLu Zhaoying sighed heavily.

n“Master Juan, it’s so hard.” Lu Zhaoying looked at Cheng Juan and whispered.

nCheng Juan ignored Lu Zhaoying and looked down at Qin Ran’s wound instead. “Have you applied your ointment?”

nQin Ran kept wanting to scratch her hand while her wound was healing, so Cheng Juan had taken a tube of cooling ointment for her to apply on time.

n“Yeah,” Qin Ran shook her palm and said vaguely.

nCheng Juan glanced at her, thinking that her injury had really been too serious.

nHe reached out to pull her right hand and his eyes swept over it before he glanced at Qin Ran and asked, “Where’s the ointment?”

nCheng Juan’s fingers were a little cold. His fingertips were cold white and the blue blood vessels could be seen.

nThere were some calluses on his fingers.

nQin Ran looked up at him slightly and saw that he seemed quite upset. She couldn’t help but to lean against the chair and laugh softly. “It’s alright if the wound has healed.”

nCheng Juan stared at her and didn’t speak.

nHao Dui seemed annoyed and only ate a few dishes before putting his chopsticks down.

nHe took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth but didn’t light it.

nCheng Juan glanced at him and said unhurriedly, “Go out.”

nHao Dui was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and went out with his cigarette case without a word.

nAfter a while, Cheng Mu also carried his cigarette case and came out.

n“What’s with Master Juan?” Hao Dui puffed out and squinted at Cheng Mu.

nCheng Mu’s face was quite complicated and he shook his head and said, “As you saw, this Ms. Qin… anyways, it’s as you’ve seen.”

n“Is she really a student in First Middle School?” Hao Dui turned and looked doubtfully at Cheng Mu. “Could she be like your goddess…”

n“Impossible, don’t compare anyone to my goddess.” At the mention of his goddess, Cheng Mu was agitated.

nThey just finished eating when Cheng Juan’s phone rang.

nIt was Jiang Hui.

nJiang Hui had helped Cheng Juan due to Qin Ran’s matter last time and Cheng Juan didn’t reject his appointment.

n“Qin Ran, I’ll bring you to play.” Lu Zhaoying insisted on bringing Qin Ran. “Do you know how to play billiards? I’ll teach you.”

nToday was Friday and there was no class tomorrow.

nQin Ran had never played pool before and had only seen it on TV.

nShe couldn’t win over Lu Zhaoying and so followed them.

nThere were many clubs in First Middle School and many places to play. They reached a club in less than ten minutes by car.

nIt was rather quiet here and seemed like a high-end club.

nQin Ran didn’t go inside and went to the washroom instead. By the time she came out, she saw Lin Jinxuan holding his phone and standing in the middle of the corridor calling someone.

n“What are you doing here?” Lin Jinxuan saw Qin Ran and was shocked for a moment. He said something to the person on the other end of the phone and then hung up.

nHe was tall and drew a slender, long figure in the corridor.

nQin Ran also didn’t expect to see Lin Jinxuan here.

nSince the last Weibo incident, Lin Jinxuan had come to find her more than once because of Qin Yu.

nWhen the younger sister made a mistake, Lin Jinxuan, as the older brother, had to clean up her mess.

n“A girl shouldn’t run around in such a place, especially girls like you… come to my room with me first,” Lin Jinxuan said and pulled on Qin Ran’s sleeves. He turned and said with clear eyes, “Luckily, Qin Yu is here too. She was involved with the issue last time and can apologize to you now.”

nQin Ran pulled away.

nEvery time Lin Jinxuan came to find her, he would stop his car outside the school gates just to discuss Qin Yu.

nQin Ran thought for a while and decided to solve his issue first.

nLin Jinxuan had many friends and they were basically all second generations of the rich families in Yun Cheng.

nWhen he pushed the door open, the group of people who were playing fiercely suddenly froze.

nThe girl next to Lin Jinxuan had one hand in her pocket and her school uniform jacket tied around her waist. She looked indifferent and lazy, and the arrogance oozing from her could hardly be concealed.

nQin Ran only recognized Feng Ci amongst the group of people inside.

n“This is…” When he saw Qin Ran, Feng Ci also froze and felt like he had seen this girl somewhere before.

n“She’s still in high school, don’t you dare to mess around.” Lin Jinxuan then gave a warning look at Qin Yu and reminded her to apologize to Qin Ran.

nQin Yu pursed her lips.

nLin Jinxuan seemed to be very busy.

nBefore he could say anything to Qin Yu, his phone rang again.

nHe tilted his head and told Feng Ci to take care of Qin Ran. Then, he warned the group of young masters again.

n“That girl is your brother’s girlfriend?” A woman in a black dress next to Qin Yu whispered to her. “Why is your brother so anxious about her? He’s just going out to take a phone call, why did he have to ask Young Master Feng to take care of her?”

nThese women always judged the situation and were clear on who they could provoke and who they couldn’t.

nAs soon as she spoke, a man with his hair dyed blonde laughed and took a puff from his cigarette. “Yeah, I’ve never seen her before. Is she your brother’s girlfriend?”

nTheir eyes didn’t leave Qin Ran.

nIf she was really Lin Jinxuan’s girlfriend, then he didn’t dare to touch her.

nThis had always been the case. No matter how hard she tried, as long as Qin Ran was there, almost everyone’s eyes would be on her.

nQin Yu smiled. “Actually, she is my sister and is older by one year. She just came to Yun Cheng, because in high school… Anyways, she took a gap year and doesn’t live in my house now… Second Young Master, it’s an honor for her if you take a fancy towards her.”

nThe people around exchanged glances and were all very surprised.

nEspecially this Second Young Master. He stared at Qin Ran’s long, straights legs, and then at her cold and casual face and took a puff from his cigarette again.

nHe carried a glass of wine over.

nAt the same time.

nJiang Hui’s room was quiet. Besides Lu Zhaoying, there were only a few people inside.

nThese people covered the sky with their hands in Yun Cheng, but sitting beside Cheng Juan, none of them other than Jiang Hui dared to speak much.

nCheng Juan didn’t drink, he just took a teacup and looked at the door.

nAfter a long while, he turned his head slightly and knocked distractedly on the table. He looked at Lu Zhaoying and asked with dark eyes, “Where is she?”
