Outside, Ning Qing had also received the same news.

She entered the room with her phone. “Should I give them a call…”

Ning Qing was obviously full of regrets now.

She realized that her high status in the Shen family now was because of Qin Ran.

She didn’t dare tell the Shen family that she had already lost her affection with Qin Ran as mother and daughter.

“Why would you?” Qin Yu turned to her. She knew that she shouldn’t talk like this to her, but the jealousy in her heart was eating at her, and she couldn’t help but ridicule her. “Do you think you can fix your relationship with her? To tell you the truth, Dad is about to fall off under pressure, and the Ouyang family is helping Fourth Master Qin. You can decide if you want to make this call.

“If anything happens, Fourth Master Qin and the others would blame you. Qin Ran is on Dad’s side, do you think she’ll help you?”

Aware that even if Qin Hanqiu and the others fell from grace, she was still inferior to Qin Ran, Qin Yu couldn’t help but feel bitter.

She understood that Ning Qing was materialistic.

As expected, upon hearing this, Ning Qing paused.

She looked down at her phone, originally wanting to know how Fourth Master Qin wanted to deal with Qin Hanqiu.

But as for whether she should tell Qin Hanqiu…

She was in a dilemma.

She was afraid that Fourth Master Qin would really blame her for making trouble.

After thinking for a long time, she still turned off her phone…

Qin Hanqiu had already pulled her name into the blacklist. As for Qin Ran, she had never once received a call from her. Perhaps Qin Ran didn’t know that she was using her name to obtain a high status in the Shen family…

“Is it very dangerous?” Ning Qing glanced at her.

Qin Yu glanced at her and sneered. “Qin Ran never once cared about you. You’re aware you’re only relying on Fourth Master Qin now. If the Shen family and Fourth Master Qin make their moves, do you think Qin Ran will help you?”

Ning Qing returned to her room and thought for a long time, but still couldn’t find a way to contact Qin Hanqiu.

She didn’t need to think further about what Qin Yu said.

No, Qin Ran wouldn’t care about her.

Qin Ran had always been stubborn. She had already proclaimed the end of their relationship back in Yun Cheng.

Since then, she hadn’t met her once.

Even after Chen Shulan’s death, she hadn’t dared to say a word to Qin Ran…

…

The next day.

Ting Lan.

Qin Ran got up early in the morning and prepared to report to the Research Institute. She hadn’t been there for a long time.

As soon as she got downstairs, she saw Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo sitting at the dining table.

“I…” Cheng Huo had an impatient personality. He quickly stood up when he saw Qin Ran. “Cough, cough, Miss Qin!”

Qin Ran hesitated. “Why are you two back?”

Cheng Huo glanced speechlessly at Cheng Shui.

“They came back from the manor.” Cheng Juan came out of the study and helped her get a glass of milk. His mood seemed to be good now, and he lightly said, “The manor is that person’s territory. Back then, the place was convenient to deal with Continent F’s diamonds, so I put Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo there. But they were both chased out a few days ago.”

Fortunately, Cheng Shui was a strict manager. Quite a few people in the manor were convinced by Cheng Juan, but only Matthew knew of his connection to the diamonds. However, he couldn’t find any evidence.

“Are you okay?” Qin Ran took a sip of milk and frowned.

“Yeah,” Cheng Juan said lightly. “I’ll send you to the Research Institute after breakfast.”

Cheng Juan never hid things from her. She felt reassured to know that he would go to her for help if needed.

She originally wanted to ask Cheng Mu to send her today but didn’t refuse Cheng Juan’s offer.

She changed her shoes at the door after breakfast.

Cheng Juan ate fast and stood beside her waiting.

The two went out together.

They waited for the elevator.

After Qin Ran put on her coat, she looked up at Cheng Juan, whose face was cold, unlike his usual style.

Reaching out to hold her hands, Cheng Juan calmly intertwined his fingers with hers, and then looked deeply at the elevator door.

He had anticipated this day long ago.

His biological father regarded him only as a bargaining chip. His adoptive father was behind the murder of his mother and even wanted to abandon him once. He had even given up on himself once before.

1

Like Qin Ran, he felt like the world was too boring. Thus, he had gone to Yun Cheng to heal his wounds.

The only thing he didn’t expect was how fast this day came. However, he would face it with much more ease than before, because someone would be beside him every step of the way.

“Ding—”

The elevator door opened.

He never intended on fighting before. But now…

He walked into the elevator, his eyes growing darker.

“I won’t go over to Uncle’s tonight. Help me say hello to Xiao Ling.” Cheng Juan sent Qin Ran to the entrance of the Research Institute.

Qin Ling was going to Tang Jun’s, and he didn’t know for how long.

As Old Master Cheng just passed away, Cheng Juan also felt like it was a little inauspicious. He didn’t want to take these to Yunjin Community before the 7th day after a person’s day.

“I know.” Qin Ran nodded. “I’ll let Cheng Mu pick me up at night.”

…

At 5 pm.

Qin Ran and Cheng Mu arrived at Yunjin Community.

In the past, Qin Hanqiu would be cooking in the kitchen. This time around, Qin Ran didn’t hear the familiar sound of him bustling in the kitchen but smelled the aroma of stew.

Butler Qin wasn’t around, either.

Only Qin Ling came out to see her.

She glanced at Ah Wen and squinted her eyes. “Where’s my Dad?”

Ah Wen’s expression remained normal, and he respectfully said, “Second Master has gone back to handle some matters at the headquarters. He’ll be back soon.”

Qin Ran went to the kitchen and took a look. It seemed like Qin Hanqiu had left in a hurry. She walked out, turned to Cheng Mu, and said concisely, “Let’s go to the Qin family’s headquarters.”
