Qin Yu’s reaction was a little too big.

Lin Qi thought she was a little strange. “Yu’er?”

Qin Yu immediately picked up her chopsticks and smiled absentmindedly. “I didn’t expect Uncle Feng to have a sister, so I was just a little surprised.”

She also never imagined that the Young Master Qian whom she had thought was unremarkable actually had such a relations.h.i.+p with Feng Loucheng.

Looking at Lin Jinxuan and Lin Qi’s expressions, this Young Master Qian’s ident.i.ty was probably comparable to Feng Ci.

Qin Yu felt very confused.

Why was Qin Ran’s luck always so good?!

“Chairman Feng is a career woman,” Lin Jinxuan said quietly. “Her son has settled down in Yun Cheng with his Father. You have probably seen him before, he’s Qian Jinyu.”

Qin Yu glanced over at Ning Qing, who was frozen on the chair.

At the mention of this, Lin Jinxuan frowned and lowered his chopsticks. “Dad, Chairman Feng was asking about Ran Ran for her son?”

Lin Jinxuan nodded slightly and understood Lin Jinxuan’s concern. “I know how to deal with this matter, you don’t have to worry.”

The people on the table were all distracted.

Lin Qi could see that Ning Qing was acting a little strange.

After dinner, he got up and said solemnly to Ning Qing, “Come to the study with me.”

Qin Yu returned to the violin room after dinner.

However, she was distracted about Qian Jinyu’s matter and felt a little angry.

When she’d thought that she had never heard of the surname “Qian” in Yun Cheng before, she hadn’t meddled with the affairs. Who knew that this random person would actually be related to Feng Loucheng.

And he seemed to be from Beijing.

She was very upset and vexed.

How was Qin Ran so lucky to be able to randomly find a low-key Young Master Qian whose ident.i.ty was also comparable to Feng Ci?

Qin Yu was sullen and also unspeakably jealous.

The phone in her pocket rang.

She looked down at the phone number and it wasn’t from the city.

“h.e.l.lo, Dad?” Qin Yu frowned, but her voice was obedient. “You’re coming to Yun Cheng in two days and want to see me? Okay, I’ll see you in our usual spot.”

Then, she hung up.

Cheng Juan invited Qian Dui over for dinner.

He had come to Yun Cheng with a mission.

Although Qian Dui was arrogant and cold, he had probably been warned by some people before coming, for his att.i.tude towards Cheng Juan was rather good. Even though he didn’t speak much, there was obvious respect in his voice.

But Cheng Juan sat on the chair lazily without a word.

His lowered eyebrows were thick and heavy and looked very gentle but imposing. Qian Dui didn’t dare to take the initiative to talk to him.

Lu Zhaoying was the one communicating with Qian Dui.

Hao Dui sat with Cheng Mu at the side and waited for Lu Zhaoying to finish talking before Cheng Mu spoke to Qian Dui. “Qian Dui, did you know Qin… Ms. Qin before?”

Qian Dui had always been cold and often ignored people, but his eyes lit up at the mention of Qin Ran.

“Yes,” he said concisely.

But at least he didn’t ignore him.

Cheng Mu was overwhelmed. “Do you know what Ms. Qin likes? What are her hobbies…”

He asked several questions in a row.

He had thought that Qian Dui would only answer with a few casual words or ignore him directly because he had experienced Qian Dui’s coldness before.

He didn’t expect Qian Dui to answer him very carefully.

“Ms. Qin likes quiet places. She seems rather cold but is actually a very nice person. She likes to eat…” Qian Dui was extremely eloquent at the mention of Qin Ran.

He seemed like an old mother of hers.

Cheng Mu took out the notebook he always carried and noted down everything that Qian Dui said.

After dinner, Cheng Juan should have left, but when he heard these two people talking, he sat down again, leaned on the back of the chair, and narrowed his eyes.

He tapped his slender fingers on the table distractedly, seeming to listen very intently.

Lu Zhaoying was about to go, but when he saw Cheng Juan sit down again, he raised an eyebrow and sat down with a smile.

Qian Dui finally stopped talking and seemed to like Cheng Mu a little more.

Before he left, he specially greeted Cheng Mu.

Cheng Mu really felt flattered.

“Why did you ask about Qin Ran from Qian Dui?” Hao Dui was very surprised. After all, Cheng Mu was like him before and didn’t like Qin Ran very much.

And Cheng Mu was just like his name, so boring and moody.

Besides Cheng Juan and his G.o.ddess, Hao Dui had never seen Cheng Mu so concerned about anyone else.

Many people in Beijing had tried to curry favor with him to no avail.

But he was actually asking about Qin Ran’s preferences?

“Ms. Qin is my life savior,” Cheng Mu followed behind Cheng Juan and muttered.

Cheng Mu didn’t like to express himself much, but he wasn’t stupid. He could naturally tell Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying’s favor towards Qin Ran.

Hao Dui took out the cigarette in his mouth and leaned towards Cheng Mu, laughing. “You’re so concerned about her, then what about your G.o.ddess?”

Cheng Mu didn’t even think before answering naturally, “My G.o.ddess is naturally the first.”

On Monday.

The whole school was on holiday and the celebration started at two in the afternoon.

Qin Ran crouched in the school doctor’s office in the morning.

The school was so chaotic that Lu Zhaoying and the others all knew about it.

“Qin Ran, are you all celebrating today?” Lu Zhaoying was on holiday today and didn’t wear a white coat. He wore a casual T-s.h.i.+rt and was lying on Qin Ran’s desk as he asked with a smile.

Qin Ran supported her chin with one hand and replied lazily, “Yes.”

“Then what is your program?” Lu Zhaoying wasn’t interested in what the other kids were doing, and he didn’t even look at the concert tickets that some people had given him.

But he would be interested if Qin Ran was to perform a chorus or anything of the sort.

“No.” Qin Ran picked up the milk on the side, poked a straw, and took a sip. “I’m just going to watch my cla.s.s perform a chorus.”

Lu Zhaoying wasn’t surprised. After all, with Qin Ran’s personality, she didn’t seem too likely to join the chorus.

She usually frowned when there were too many people, and her brain would probably explode if she had to sing along in a chorus.

“Give me a message when you finish reading.” Cheng Juan slowly turned a piece of paper and raised his eyes. “Let’s go eat dinner at night, Qian Dui is treating us.”

Last time, Cheng Mu and the others had treated Qian Dui, so this time, Qian Dui wanted to treat Qin Ran and Cheng Juan.

Qin Ran responded and didn’t expect a good meal.

No matter where it was, it would just be boiled cabbage.

“The chorus is in the backcourt, you can come out at five o’clock.” Qin Ran was expressionless. “Contact me then.”

After lunch, it was two o’clock.

Qiao Sheng gave Qin Ran a phone call outside the school gate.

“Then I’ll go first.” Qin Ran put down her pen and kept her exercise book.

Lu Zhaoying greeted Qiao Sheng very enthusiastically.

Cheng Juan didn’t look like he was about to greet him, and he just looked up and glanced at Qiao Sheng. He was also concise to Qin Ran and said, “Yeah.”

Qin Ran took her headphones and went out.

Cheng Juan glanced at Qiao Sheng in the school doctor’s office. Although Qiao Sheng was talking to Qin Ran, it was obvious that he was two steps behind her.

He looked away.

**

Outside the door of the school doctor’s office, Qiao Sheng was a little afraid.

“You know the people in the school doctor’s office?” Qiao Sheng asked in a low voice.

With the sun above his head, Qin Ran put on a peaked cap and said lazily, “Yeah, I’m a part-timer there.”

“So you’re not that familiar with them?” Qiao Sheng sighed in relief. “Anyway, you shouldn’t get too close to the people in the school doctor’s office. Young Master Xu told me that they… anyway, just don’t get too close.”

The original words of Xu Yaoguang to Qiao Sheng was to stay far away from the people in the school doctor’s office, or he might die an unknown death.

When Qiao Sheng had asked again, Xu Yaoguang wouldn’t say anything, but this didn’t hinder Qiao Sheng’s conjecture.

He knew Xu Yaoguang’s ident.i.ty.

Qin Ran pressed her hat down and said perfunctorily, “Oh.”

Qiao Sheng still wanted to talk, but they met Lin Siran and Xia Fei and he quickly closed his mouth.

A shaded place in school.

“Yu’er, I have to work later, and I’m returning to Ninghai Town tomorrow.” Qin Hanqiu took out a wad of money from his pocket. “This is pocket money for you, keep it.”

Qin Hanqiu had always liked this obedient daughter.

Although he now had a young son, he was still as concerned about Qin Yu, or he wouldn’t have wanted to bring her back.

He worked at a log factory and smelled of wood chips.

He was sweaty all over.

Qin Yu naturally didn’t want it and said softly, “Dad, this is your hard-earned money, how could I keep it? I don’t need pocket money in the Lin family, anyway. You should give it to my brother and aunt.”

Qin Hanqiu always found an opportunity to visit Qin Yu every year, and she never kept the money he gave her and would ask him to give it to her brother.

Qin Hanqiu always felt like this daughter was so sweet and considerate.

He would find a chance to see Qin Yu whenever he was in Yun Cheng.

Not far away, a group of people was talking.

Qin Hanqiu turned around quickly. “Sure. You have a performance, right? Go on now.”

He also didn’t want Qin Yu’s cla.s.smates to know that she had a father like him.

Qin Yu said a few intimate words and heard that the group of people was approaching, so she turned and left.

Qin Hanqiu stared at her back and was very happy at the thought that she was going to perform on stage later.

He turned and walked towards the road.

But then he saw Qin Ran in the crowd.

Qin Ran’s personality was quite like his—a little unsociable.

Qin Hanqiu hadn’t seen Qin Ran for a long time and suddenly reacted after seeing her that she had already come to Yun Cheng with Ning Qing.

“Qin…” He looked at her with some joy.

He had wanted to say h.e.l.lo but found that several people were around Qin Ran. The clothes on the teenager’s body beside her were valuable at a glance and the other people around her were also bright and neat.

Everyone seemed happy and excited.

Qin Hanqiu reacted suddenly and immediately swallowed his words. Then, he turned and walked into the words.

Qin Ran naturally saw Qin Hanqiu and was stunned by his reaction. “Dad, why did you run away when you saw me?”
