Qin Ran couldnt be bothered with Hao Dui. She simply rolled up her sleeves and said, Mm.
That was the response she gave Lu Zhaoying.
Hao Dui! Lu Zhaoying had always been protective of Qin Ran.
But this time it was urgent and he didnt have time to say more. He simply shot Hao Dui a warning look and left after letting Qin Ran know.
Outside, Qin Ran placed the book back on the table and decided to take her keys with her anyway.
**
A half-hour later, she arrived at the hospital.
There seemed to be more people here today. There was even a fleet of luxury cars at the entrance.
Quite a number of people gathered around, taking pictures and uploading them onto social media platforms.
Qin Ran walked into Chen Shulans ward.
Ning Wei and Mu Ying were around too.
Ive been better these few days, you guys dont have to come and see me so often. Chen Shulan glanced at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran pared an apple for Chen Shulan by her bedside.
Who came yesterday? Qin Ran handed the pared and diced apples to Chen Shulan.
She asked quietly when she saw the tulips on the bedside table.
It was Jinxuan. He comes over whenever hes free. Hes a good boy, always making me happy. Chen Shulan smiled kindly as she brought his name up.
He seems more filial than that biological granddaughter of yours. Qin Ran cleared her throat.
Ever since Chen Shulan was hospitalized, Qin Yu had never once paid a visit.
Qin Ran had always been direct with her words, and Chen Shulan did not tell her off this time either.
She simply smiled.
Mu Ying tugged at Qin Rans sleeves and whispered, Cousin, it isnt nice to talk about Second Cousin this way. Shes busy practicing her violin
Mu Ying did not dare say anymore when she saw Qin Rans cold glare and quickly switched topics. Cousin, did you see those cars when you were coming up? I dont recognize the brands, but they looked so domineering!
She sounded envious.
Qin Ran simply shrugged and said she didnt know about it.
Mu Ying was only asking casually.
She wasnt expecting Qin Ran to recognize them either.
But she did hear some people discussing downstairs, saying that most of the cars were limited edition, luxury models. I heard there are big shots around today. We might get to see them if we hang around a little longer
Qin Ran did not pay much attention to it. After visiting Chen Shulan, she went to look for Chen Shulans doctor in-charge before going to Cheng Juan.
**
Cheng Juans cell phone was switched off, but he did tell Qin Ran that he had to perform surgery before he left.
Qin Ran was pretty sharp with her judgment. She was pretty sure that most of the luxury cars downstairs were there because of him.
In that case, Qin Ran roughly knew his position.
There was a VIP ward on the 29th floor with an isolated operating theatre. There were several security officers on that floor now, but Qin Ran could simply get a nurses uniform and find her way in there.
But she did not. She simply waited by the elevator.
Besides her, there was also a group of successful men in custom-made suits and office bags, each with a personal assistant.
As a young girl, she already stood out amongst them.
Cheng Juans surgery was pretty early, so Qin Ran did not have to wait very long. When the elevator doors opened, she saw a man emerge from among a crowd of doctors.
At the same time, the group of successful men huddled forward towards the elevator.
Cheng Juan trailed behind the hospitals director. He was in a white doctors coat and the surgical mask was still hanging on one ear. He unbuttoned his coat with one hand, calmly and professionally.
Even after hours of surgery, he did not seem the least bit exhausted.
Crowded as it was, everyone maintained at least a 10-centimeter distance from him, and theyd subconsciously lowered their voices too.
It was a quiet scene.
The next surgery depends on the situation. His voice was slightly hoarse from the long hours without water. He received the pen from the director and was ready to go to the meeting room for a research discussion.
But when he looked up, he caught sight of a cold figure at the corner, against the wall.
Cheng Juan stopped in his tracks.
The cream of the crop of the financial industry and the director intuitively stopped by his side as well.
Cheng Juan was a renowned doctor in the field. A veteran cardiologist had even openly said that he was a natural talent, that he was born a doctor.
He only performed one surgery a month, and most of these surgeries had less than a 10% success rate. Yet, hed never failed before.
By right, one would expect that rich, scheming people would long have used him for their benefit.
And yet, strangely, no one had dared approach him for such reasons before.
Even those big shots from the financial industry were very respectful to him. Nobody in the medical field knew who was his backing or his identity and background.
In any case, even the most successful bosses had to be respectful towards Cheng Juan.
Cheng Juan was always very focused during surgeries and he made sure to keep his cell phone off.
After the surgeries, he would also set aside a few hours to guide the accompanying doctors.
Without fail.
Those who knew him were therefore very shocked when he took his coat off and spoke to a girl so gently.
Most of them stood by watching in confusion.
Qin Ran cut the long story short and told him about Cheng Mu.
I got it. Cheng Juan took his cell phone out while informing the director of the hospital. He then took Qin Ran along and walked out, his eyes deep and serious.
He did not care that he left a group of people in utter shock behind him.
He gave Lu Zhaoying a call and said a bit to him, then turned to Qin Ran. Wait here for me, Ill get the car.
Qin Ran did not intend to go since Hao Dui did not really seem to like her anyway.
It wasnt just dislikehe despised her.
But seeing that Cheng Juan rushed to get the car, she did not want to say much.
Cheng Juan drove over a while later.
Get in first. It wasnt the black car she was familiar with, but a blue Lamborghini. Cheng Mu drove my car away yesterday. This car was sent over by Young Uncle at the last minute, but its function isnt as good. It cant go up mountainous roads.
Cheng Juan explained.
Qin Ran did not respond.

On the other side, Mu Ying was ready to leave after visiting Chen Shulan. She had just stepped out of the entrance when she noticed the stylish luxury car parked by the road.
She stole a few more glances at it because it was so eye-catching, then she overheard a few men saying
This car was a limited edition, its price was upward of 20 million yuan.
Mu Ying would never have expected that sort of astronomical sum. Shed thought that Qin Yus violinworth 500,000 yuanwas already the limit.
But the next moment, she saw Qin Ran getting into the front passenger seat.
Cousin! Mu Ying intuitively called out to her.
