In the past, Zhang Lan looked up to Qin Xue and listened to her even more. This time, when she saw that Qin Xue was in a mess, she was even more terrified.
“Zhang Lan, come out!”
Mr. Zhang’s voice was heard from outside the door.
Zhang Lan opened the door in fear and was slapped across the face.
“You good-for-nothing. It’s fine if you don’t study hard in school, but as a girl, you keep causing trouble and bullying your classmates. You actually… actually bullied the top scholar! Tell me what should we do now that you’re being pestered?”
Mr. Zhang’s voice was trembling at the end of his speech.
“Dad, you actually hit me? You’ve never hit me before. Today, for the sake of those poor people on the Internet who we don’t know, you actually hit me?” Although Zhang Lan was a girl, her parents doted on her too. They would give her whatever she wanted. Since she was young, her parents had never hit her before.
“Poor people? Then do you know? If these poor people don’t buy the clothes of the Zhang family, our company and factories will close down, and we won’t even be able to protect our family! It’s considered light for me to hit you. I wish I could kill you!” Mr. Zhang was so angry that his teeth were gritted, and his lips were turning purple.
“Don’t scare your daughter. She already knows her mistakes.” Mrs. Zhang rushed into the room and hugged Zhang Lan tightly.
“It’s all your fault. Every time this wretched girl makes a mistake, you defend her and prevent her from being punished. I think our whole family is going to fall in her hands this time. That top scholar is a powerful character to begin with. I don’t know what high branches she has climbed this time. I’m afraid…”
“Dad, I have an idea,” Zhang Lan suddenly said.
Mr. Zhang’s words about climbing up the social ladder had enlightened her. She bet that there must be someone behind Qin Ran, and he was definitely the old man who kept her.
That must be the case. Otherwise, Qin Ran wouldn’t have the ability.
“What method?” Mrs. Zhang looked at her daughter anxiously and asked.
“I have something on Qin Ran.”
“We have fire on our asses now. Don’t keep me in suspense. What exactly do you have on her?”
“She’s been financially supported by an old man. She’ll do anything to get what she wants.”
Qin Ran had already taken a car to the hospital. She tiptoed to Old Mr. Mo’s ward and peeked into the room.
“Since you’re already here, don’t stand at the door. Hurry in and accompany me to relieve my boredom.” The old master guessed that the lass would come to see him today.
“Grandpa,” Qin Ran said obediently.
“Grandpa, have you eaten breakfast?” Qin Ran continued, “Or do you want to eat fruits?”
“Alright, alright. I don’t want to eat anything. I’m already very happy that Ranran can come and chat with me. I’m more happy than anything.” Old Mr. Mo looked at Qin Ran with eyes full of affection. This lass was clearly extremely cute, and he really didn’t understand why her biological parents didn’t like her.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ran could only sit on the sofa obediently and wait for the seniors to chat.
“Ranran, did Mo Chi make you angry when you went back yesterday?”
“No, no, no.” She shook her head repeatedly and waved her hands.
“That’s good. I’ll say it again. If he does anything wrong, tell me at any time. Also, you have to tell me if there are any servants in the residence who cause you trouble. I’ll help you.”
“Alright, alright.” Qin Ran felt like a recorder.
The old man before her had a kind expression and a smile on his face. Qin Ran found it difficult to associate him with the former head of the Mo Family, who was decisive and would never go back on his word.
“Sigh, our Mo Family doesn’t have many juniors who are well-educated. So, I wanted to ask Ranran, what kind of troubles would good students like you have in school?”
This question was asked so suddenly that Qin Ran did not know how to answer it immediately. She thought for a long time before saying, “The troubles in the school are nothing more than worrying about the exam and the results.” Indeed, she always had this kind of worry. However, she was afraid that if she did too well, she would attract attention.
“What about the rest? Like getting along well with your classmates?”
“Yes, we got along.” Qin Ran said without hesitation.
As soon as she said this, Old Mr. Mo waved his hand and gestured to Qin Ran that he wanted to sit up from the hospital bed. Qin Ran quickly walked forward to help. After Old Mr. Mo sat down, he pulled Qin Ran with one hand and said, “Do you guys really get along? We’re family, so you can’t hide anything.”
Qin Ran was stunned. The old master had asked this question and even wanted confirmation repeatedly. Could it be that he had also seen the hot topic list previously?
“Now that technology is so advanced, you guys can see the news on the Internet. I can also see it.”
As expected.
