Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

“How did you know I had music notes in my luggage?” Chen Shulan looked sickly and wasn’t imposing, but when she looked solemn, her eyes were strict and sharp. “Did you take it?”

Qin Yu’s impression of Chen Shulan was of a rural grandmother, so she didn’t expect her to have such an aura. “I didn’t.”

She couldn’t help but shrink back, a little scared.

“Really?” Chen Shulan narrowed her turbid face and stared at Qin Yu for a long time. “I advise you not to have any ideas about it, and you better not touch the music sheets.”

Qin Yu’s pale was pale and she felt a chill on her back. “Grandma, what are you talking about?”

“You’re very clear about what I’m talking about.” Chen Shulan coughed a few times.

Outside, Ning Qing was holding a kettle. When she came in, she saw how pale Qin Yu’s face was as if she had suffered a blow, and she glanced at Chen Shulan subconsciously.

Chen Shulan laid sickly in bed, her eyes slightly closed, looking very tired.

Ning Qing was afraid of disturbing Chen Shulan’s rest, so she went out directly with Qin Yu.

Once the two of them were outside, Mu Ying and Ning Wei came upstairs.

Qin Ran held her phone and followed not far away.

“Second Cousin, you’re here to see grandma too.” Mu Ying walked forward and smiled at Qin Yu.

Qin Yu greeted them and stayed silent.

“Mom, Second Cousin is going to play the violin during our school celebration.” Recently, almost everyone in school was excited over the school celebration, especially the group of freshmen like Mu Ying. “Second Cousin is even the finale performance.”

Recently, the school had mentioned Qin Yu’s violin more frequently, and everyone’s attention had turned gradually to the campus belle of class 3.1 who was not only studious, had a good family background, and was also good looking.

“Yeah, Yu’er has a celebration, but my mother’s body isn’t good, so I won’t let her go. Do you guys have time? I’ll let Yu’er take a few more tickets—she’s in the student union.” At the mention of Qin Yu, Ning Qing’s smile widened and her voice became a few pitches higher subconsciously.

Ning Wei paused and said she still had work to do.

But Mu Ying said in surprise, “Then, thank you, Aunt. Many people in our class don’t have tickets.”

There were nearly a thousand people in the first grade of First Middle School. Coupled with the parents and school teachers, the students only had a few tickets left.

While they talked, Qin Yu held her phone and headed towards the ward without raising her head.

Ning Qing stared at Qin Ran’s back and didn’t even want to nag at her anymore. She had always been like this since young—antisocial and rarely playing with others.

Chen Shulan had said she had matured earlier, but Ning Qing was simply speechless. She clearly just had a low EQ and personality problems.

“Yu’er, go back first.” Ning Qing thought of something and didn’t go back with Qin Yu.

Qin Yu nodded. Her heart was heavy, but she didn’t say anything.

Mu Ying helped Qin Yu press the elevator button.

In the ward.

Qin Ran sat on the stool and cut apples for Chen Shulan.

Chen Shulan opened her eyes and leaned on the pillow behind her. “Ran Ran, did you bring back the music sheets I brought back for you last time?”

“It’s in my box.” Qin Ran lowered her head and cut the apples seriously. Her clean face tilted slightly and she raised her eyebrow. “Don’t worry, I didn’t throw it away.”

“Then keep it well.” Chen Shulan smiled, then coughed again lightly.

Qin Ran stared at Chen Shulan and frowned. “I originally wanted to throw it away, anyway. It’s garbage, but you still picked it up.”

“You treat it as rubbish, but someone still misses it…” Chen Shulan raised her eyebrows, and when she saw Ning Qing coming in, she stopped talking and asked Qin Ran about her studies.

Qin Ran told her honestly about her Physics results.

Ning Qing heard “30 points” as soon as she came in.

Ning Qing wasn’t clear about her other scores, but she remembered the Physics score. Qin Yu had told Lin Jinxuan just a few days back.

She heard that this Physics exam was very difficult. Qin Yu had gotten 82 points and was third in school.

Even Lin Jinxuan, who seldom talked, had praised Qin Yu.

Ning Qing didn’t speak when she heard Chen Shulan praising her improvement and didn’t feel bothered.

**

Qin Ran didn’t have other matters, so she accompanied Chen Shulan for three hours every Saturday.

Ning Qing waited for her to leave before coming out with her.

“Ran Ran, wait for me.” Ning Qing called, her face as gentle as possible.

Qin Ran reached out to press the elevator and narrowed her eyes, her face expressionless. “What is it?”

Her style had always been carefree and unbridled, and she was even more casual with people she didn’t care about.

Her beautiful eyes were impatient—Ning Qing hated the look.

Her attitude put Ning Qing in a bad mood, but she still smiled patiently. “Do you remember that Young Master Qian from last time? He’s…”

“Stop.” Qin Ran could see Ning Qing’s thoughts at a glance. She stared at Ning Qing, her eyes cold. “You don’t have to tell me who he is, I have nothing to do with him. Why don’t you go and sell Qin Yu instead?”

The elevator door opened with a “ding”.

She went straight in.

Ning Qing reached out to block the door and pursed her lips. “I’m also doing it for you! That Young Master Qian has a solid background and I’ve also heard that he’s the Chairman of a corporation. You’re considered lucky that he has taken a fancy on you, you should count your blessings.”

Qin Ran laughed, her eyes cold. “Since his qualification is so good, let Qin Yu marry him.”

“What nonsense are you talking about, your sister…” Ning Qing opened her mouth.

Qin Yu had been molded by her personally and was comparable to all those noble ladies in all aspects. Furthermore, Lin Wan also liked Qin Yu, so Qin Yu’s marriage would definitely be in Beijing.

After being in the high society, Ning Qing knew that she was nothing more than a small wave in this circle.

Although that Young Master Qian was good, he was too dissolute and didn’t have any personal achievements. He wasn’t comparable to Lin Jinxuan and Feng Ci, so Ning Qing wasn’t willing to let Qin Yu marry this kind of person.

But Qin Ran was different. Other than her face, she wasn’t outstanding. She didn’t have good grades, nor was she from a good family, and Ning Qing really felt like she was quite ignorant of current affairs.

“If you can’t explain yourself, then let it go.”

**

Qin Ran returned directly to the bubble tea shop.

She had taken leave because of her hand injury previously. The boss wasn’t usually so lenient towards the part-time workers, but Qin Ran was different. When she worked in the bubble tea shop, the business boomed several times more than usual and the line snaked all the way to the streets.

Be it from their own school or from another school, they were all there to see her face.

So the bubble tea shop’s boss was extremely happy to see Qin Ran.

“Qin Ran went to the bubble tea shop again?” Lu Zhaoying, who was sitting at the passenger seat, saw the grandeur of the bubble tea shop and couldn’t help laughing.

He looked at the rearview mirror and saw that Cheng Juan’s expression was a little solemn.

Lu Zhaoying and the others already thought that Qin Ran’s hand was fine. After all, the scar had faded.

But Cheng Juan still didn’t allow Qin Ran to do anything, nor did he let her enter the kitchen. All the tasks were handed to Cheng Mu, and with his life-savior around, Cheng Mu did all the work earnestly.

Cheng Juan had taken care of everything only for her to run to the bubble tea shop by herself.

“Does she lack money?” Lu Zhaoying thought for a while. “Should we hire Qin Ran as our technician? Her skills are definitely good.”

Cheng Juan lowered his head and didn’t speak.

Cheng Mu glanced at Lu Zhaoying and was shocked. He didn’t expect Lu Zhaoying to trust Qin Ran so much that he actually wanted to hire her as an internal staff without even going through a screening test?

He looked at Cheng Juan, and he seemed to actually be seriously considering it?

Cheng Juan lowered his eyes and his forehead drooped naturally. He squinted his dark eyes and wanted to go in and drag the girl out. He wanted to tell her there was no need to do this for money.

But…

Cheng Juan said in low spirits, “Let’s go first.”

Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Mu sensed his bad mood and didn’t dare to say anything.

**

In the Lin family’s house.

Ning Qing went back, and her mood was obviously not good.

While having dinner, Qin Yu came out and noticed that Ning Qing was calling someone. She couldn’t hear clearly, but she heard the words “Young Master Qian”.

Qin Yu’s eyes glanced over, and she probably knew something.

Aunt Zhang served a bowl of fruits to Qin Yu. “Miss, this is the fruit that Sir just brought back. It’s fresh, you should eat it first.”

Qin Yu ate one grape and looked towards Ning Qing. “Who is my mother calling?”

Aunt Zhang smiled and didn’t seem bothered. “She called him for your sister. A young man called Young Master Qian has taken a fancy to her.”

“Yun Cheng?” Qin Yu’s eyes rolled and she pursed her lips. “I’ve never heard of anyone with the surname Qian in Yun Cheng…”

“This kind of small family can’t be compared to the Feng family, but for your sister, it’s indeed rare,” Aunt Zhang said.

Qin Yu naturally knew this. If this Young Master Qian was from a big family, she definitely wouldn’t pull her strings. “It’s indeed rare.”

From Qin Yu’s current perspective, Qin Ran wouldn’t have any development in the future.

Although Qiao Sheng was close to her, how could the Qiao family possibly take a rural girl as their daughter-in-law?

She was considered lucky to be able to marry into the Qian family.

Qin Yu wasn’t concerned about Qin Ran’s matter anymore.

Until the evening when Lin Qi came back and he suddenly mentioned Qin Ran.

“Ran Ran knows Chairman Feng?” Lin Qi glanced at Ning Qing.

Ning Qing was stunned. “Who is Chairman Feng?”

“She’s the Chairman of the Feng Corporation.” Lin Jinxuan picked up a piece of vegetable and explained, “She’s the younger sister of Feng Loucheng. They’re both in politics and business and their main business is in Beijing. Their business is very big and out of the ordinary.”

Qin Yu raised her head at the mention of Qin Ran.

She was in disbelief. “Then, Sister knows Chairman Feng?”

She and Ning Qing didn’t know.

However, her family was in Beijing and she was also Feng Loucheng’s sister, so how could she and Ning Qing have gotten in touch with her?

“I heard Chairman Feng mention it at a banquet today. Chairman Feng was inquiring for her son.” Lin Qi also paused and then said, “Her son is more low-key and follows his Father’s surname, Qian.”

Bam—

The chopsticks in Qin Yu’s hand fell on the table.
