Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 62: Who Told You She Was Left-Handed?

Cheng Juan had intended to wait outside.

Lu Zhaoying had gotten out of the car and had said he wanted to drink coffee for a long time.

Cheng Juan thought about it and also went to the coffee shop.

There were very few people in the coffee shop at that time, so he saw the three people sitting by the window at first glance.

Cheng Juan stood at the door of the store. Qin Ran’s back was to him and he couldn’t see her face from this angle, but he could see that the woman opposite her had her chin raised high in an arrogant and bossy manner.

Lu Zhaoying ordered a cup of coffee from the lady at the counter. “One cup for takeaway, thank you.”

Cheng Juan didn’t want coffee. He just leaned slightly on the counter and stared lazily over at Qin Ran.

He bit his cigarette and didn’t move.

After taking the coffee, Lu Zhaoying was about to go down. He had found an excuse to enter but didn’t really want to disturb Qin Ran.

Before the two of them reached the exit, they heard a voice that made them feel uncomfortable. “You can guess… do you think I will let you find a lawyer in Yun Cheng who is willing to fight your lawsuit?”

Their voices weren’t low and could be heard clearly as long as they paid attention.

Both of them knew about Xu Shen.

It seemed the woman was threatening Qin Ran.

Lu Zhaoying had been with Cheng Juan for so many years and had yet to find anyone who dared to compete with Master Juan in Beijing. Those who dared to do so had all been suppressed by Master Juan.

Indeed, Cheng Juan’s footsteps stopped, and he turned his head slightly and waited.

Without any expression on his face, he said three concise words, “Lu Zhaoying.”

Lu Zhaoying had already taken out his phone and pressed the numbers.

Without waiting for Qin Ran to speak, he said directly to the person on the other end of the phone, “Lawyer Qi, did you hear that? If you don’t come to Yun Cheng, we will degenerate to the point where we can’t even find a single lawyer, alright?”

It was almost October and the weather was still hot. There weren’t many people in the shop in the afternoon, so the air conditioning had been turned off.

There was an inexplicably dry heat in the air.

The sudden voice made Qin Ran’s explosive anger disappear temporarily.

Qin Ran turned sideways and saw Lu Zhaoying holding his phone with one hand and his other hand in his pocket. He was looking over with a smile and a raised eyebrow, but his body exuded a strong stance.

Lu Zhaoying lifted his chin at Qin Ran and then continued talking to the person on the other end. “Qi Chengjun, who’s kidding with you? Come immediately.”

He hung up the phone.

“Madam, I don’t ever play around. I’ll let you find lawyers, as many as you want.” Cheng Juan looked at the two of them. “You can guess too… if you will die or if I will die.”

Cheng Juan’s eyes fell on Qin Ran’s face and then slipped to her right hand. He said in a low voice, “Come, let’s go.”

Qi Chengjun?

Lin Wan was familiar with this name. Some time ago, her husband’s family had gotten into a serious economic dispute.

It had originally been a dead end, but Old Master had eventually invited this Lawyer Qi who had never lost a case before.

Lin Wan had married into a prestigious family, but even that family was almost at the bottom rungs of the circle in the capital city. As for the top rungs, she had never even touched them before.

It was also because of this incident that she knew that this Lawyer Qi possessed remarkable skills and was very famous in Beijing.

If it wasn’t because he had owed Old Master a favor, Old Master wouldn’t have been able to hire him.

Lin Wan stared at Cheng Juan and Lu Zhaoying. Their clothes were good, but there was no brand.

Ning Qing’s pupils shrank when she saw them.

The memory of Cheng Juan holding a scalpel in front of her at the hospital was fresh in her mind.

She turned pale.

Lin Wan glanced outside as the three of them got into a black car.

From far away, she only saw the very obvious license plate with the word “Jing” on it and a Volkswagen logo.

She smirked and sneered. “Those two must also be from Beijing in order to know Lawyer Qi, but… does he think I don’t know Qi Chengjun?”

How could it be so easy to hire Lawyer Qi?

Lin Wan put away the cheque on the table, but her expression wasn’t good. She had thought that the girl had never seen the world before and could be dealt with without much effort, but now, it seemed like it was a little troublesome.

She faintly felt a sense of unease.

At the side, Ning Qing held her teacup and took a sip of coffee with slightly trembling hands.

Qin Ran’s hand was bleeding, so they drove to the school doctor’s office in Cheng Juan’s car.

It was lesson time and the school doctor’s office was empty and quiet.

Qin Ran sat on the stool at one side, her legs sloping and her jeans a little too short for her, revealing her thin ankles.

Cheng Juan took a bandage and propped the back of Qin Ran’s chair with one hand as he retrieved the medicine from behind, his expression slightly cold.

The two of them didn’t care much until Cheng Juan leaned forward. The two were extremely close and Qin Ran breathed lightly.

Cheng Juan paused for a moment and quickly looked away, his eyes settling on her right hand.

“I’ve told you many times not to use force on this hand.” Cheng Juan lowered his head and opened the gauze. He then checked the wound and looked displeased.

Were children so rebellious nowadays?

He threw the bloody gauze into the trash can and took out a cotton swab. His voice was cold, but his movements were extremely careful.

“It’s my right hand, anyway. I’m left-handed, so it’s fine.” Qin Ran held her chin with her left hand and smiled indifferently.

“Isn’t your right hand still your hand? Otherwise, you might as well not want it.” Cheng Juan’s voice was lowered and sounded undulated.

But strangely, Qin Ran could hear his anger.

Qin Ran glanced at him sideways and said, “I was kidding.”

“Your wound is very deep. If it doesn’t recover well, it will leave a scar and hidden dangers.” Cheng Juan nodded and then picked up an ointment to apply on top of the wound. “Don’t use any force, understand?”

Qin Ran nodded.

“Don’t be angry, I just forgot that my right hand was injured.” Qin Ran supported her chin and smiled absent-mindedly. “Anytime I bleed, I’ll come to find you here, and then it’ll be fine.”

Cheng Juan was stunned. He felt as if a stone had dropped into his heart, causing ripples on the surface.

He responded and slowly began to bandage the wound.

Ning Qing didn’t go back with Lin Wan.

She went to the hospital instead.

“Why are you here now?” Ning Qing usually visited Chen Shulan in the morning and only stayed for about an hour.

Her timing had always been regular.

So Chen Shulan felt it was strange to see Ning Qing in the evening.

Ning Qing picked up an apple and peeled it. She had obviously not done this in a long time and her movement was slow.

“It’s about Ran Ran.” Ning Qing was silent for a while before finally saying, “She has had a conflict with Teacher Xu’s son. It’s just a dispute amongst children, but they want to take it to the court.”

She went over the matter briefly.

Finally, she sighed and said, “Mom, Ran Ran only listens to you. Help me say a few words to her. She has injured her hand a little, but both of the other party’s hands are broken. Why did she have to offend the bureau?”

“What did you say?” Chen Shulan stood up in worry. “Ran Ran injured her hand?”

“It’s her right hand, and it has been stitched. She is left-handed, so it won’t affect her…”

Before Ning Qing could finish talking, Chen Shulan interrupted her. “A few stitches on her right hand? Who told you that Ran Ran is left-handed? Her right hand… do you know how important it is?!”
