Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Lu Zhaoying was trying to draw Qin Ran in and explain the matter to her.
But he didn’t expect that after he finished, Qin Ran remained silent and her expression was still indifferent.
She even picked some vegetables for herself with her chopsticks.
She felt undulated inside.
Lu Zhaoying waited for Qin Ran to ask him about the detective agency, about what Team Leader Qian did... and so on.
“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, and smiled. “Really, why did I tell you all these.”
She didn’t understand, anyway.
Lu Zhaoying sighed heavily.
“Master Juan, it’s so hard.” Lu Zhaoying looked at Cheng Juan and whispered.
Cheng Juan ignored Lu Zhaoying and looked down at Qin Ran’s wound instead. “Have you applied your ointment?”
Qin 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.
“Yeah,” Qin Ran shook her palm and said vaguely.
Cheng Juan glanced at her, thinking that her injury had really been too serious.
He 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?”
Cheng Juan’s fingers were a little cold. His fingertips were cold white and the blue blood vessels could be seen.
There were some calluses on his fingers.
Qin 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.”
Cheng Juan stared at her and didn’t speak.
Hao Dui seemed annoyed and only ate a few dishes before putting his chopsticks down.
He took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth but didn’t light it.
Cheng Juan glanced at him and said unhurriedly, “Go out.”
Hao Dui was stunned for a few seconds, then he reacted and went out with his cigarette case without a word.
After a while, Cheng Mu also carried his cigarette case and came out.
“What’s with Master Juan?” Hao Dui puffed out and squinted at Cheng Mu.
Cheng 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.”
“Is she really a student in First Middle School?” Hao Dui turned and looked doubtfully at Cheng Mu. “Could she be like your goddess...”
“Impossible, don’t compare anyone to my goddess.” At the mention of his goddess, Cheng Mu was agitated.

They just finished eating when Cheng Juan’s phone rang.
It was Jiang Hui.
Jiang Hui had helped Cheng Juan due to Qin Ran’s matter last time and Cheng Juan didn’t reject his appointment.
“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.”
Today was Friday and there was no class tomorrow.
Qin Ran had never played pool before and had only seen it on TV.
She couldn’t win over Lu Zhaoying and so followed them.
There were many clubs in First Middle School and many places to play. They reached a club in less than ten minutes by car.
It was rather quiet here and seemed like a high-end club.
Qin 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.
“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.
He was tall and drew a slender, long figure in the corridor.
Qin Ran also didn’t expect to see Lin Jinxuan here.
Since the last Weibo incident, Lin Jinxuan had come to find her more than once because of Qin Yu.
When the younger sister made a mistake, Lin Jinxuan, as the older brother, had to clean up her mess.
“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.”
Qin Ran pulled away.
Every time Lin Jinxuan came to find her, he would stop his car outside the school gates just to discuss Qin Yu.
Qin Ran thought for a while and decided to solve his issue first.
Lin Jinxuan had many friends and they were basically all second generations of the rich families in Yun Cheng.
When he pushed the door open, the group of people who were playing fiercely suddenly froze.
The 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.
Qin Ran only recognized Feng Ci amongst the group of people inside.
“This is...” When he saw Qin Ran, Feng Ci also froze and felt like he had seen this girl somewhere before.
“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.
Qin Yu pursed her lips.
Lin Jinxuan seemed to be very busy.
Before he could say anything to Qin Yu, his phone rang again.
He tilted his head and told Feng Ci to take care of Qin Ran. Then, he warned the group of young masters again.
“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?”
These women always judged the situation and were clear on who they could provoke and who they couldn’t.
As 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?”
Their eyes didn’t leave Qin Ran.
If she was really Lin Jinxuan’s girlfriend, then he didn’t dare to touch her.
This 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.
Qin 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.”
The people around exchanged glances and were all very surprised.
Especially 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.
He carried a glass of wine over.

At the same time.
Jiang Hui’s room was quiet. Besides Lu Zhaoying, there were only a few people inside.
These 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.
Cheng Juan didn’t drink, he just took a teacup and looked at the door.
After 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?”
