Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered - Chapter 254
Chapter 254: Master Juan Came to Pick up Sister Ran, the Scum Is Plotting Again
At Chen Shulan’s funeral last year, Mu Ying told Qin Yu about Master Wei after that.
Qin Yu was extremely worried at that time because she knew that Qin Ran learned the violin when she was a child.
She had some doubts at the time as to whether Master Wei would want to accept Qin Ran as a disciple.
But until Qin Yu went to the Capital, she had never seen Qin Ran at the association, nor had anyone mentioned Qin Ran.
As for Master Wei…
After Chen Shulan’s funeral, he also returned to the National Violin Association and attended many large-scale events. Qin Yu and other students went for Master Wei’s classes.
She had paid careful attention and had never heard of Qin Ran being mentioned by anyone around Master Wei.
Qin Yu even asked someone in the association to ask about Qin Ran, but the answer she got was that they had never heard of Qin Ran’s name, and she finally let her guard down then.
It seemed that Master Wei was not trying to accept Qin Ran as his disciple.
But this was not surprising. Qin Ran had known Master Wei a long time ago, so why did he not mention her?
Thinking of this, she slowly took a bite of green vegetables and raised her eyebrows to look at Qin Ran.
Her mood suddenly became very good.
She didn’t know that Qin Ran had been in Continent M for more than half a year, nor did she know what Qin Ran was doing. She always felt that Qin Ran did not like to study just like before, so she dropped out again.
After all, Qin Ran had a record.
The relationship between Qin Yu and Qin Ran had always been tense. She hated everything about Qin Ran—she didn’t have to do anything, but people around her would involuntarily pay attention to her.
But now—
Qin Yu felt that she had gotten rid of being stuck in the small Yun Cheng and almost got rid of her own family, reaching a point that Qin Ran could never reach in this lifetime.
She no longer cared about her friction with Qin Ran in the past.
Hearing Qin Yu’s words, Qin Ran was silent for a moment.
Then she looked up at her.
Ning Wei coughed. “Ran Ran, have some soup. I stewed it all afternoon.”
She picked up the bowl beside Qin Ran and filled it with soup for her.
Qin Ran took the soup that Ning Wei poured for her, picked up a spoon on the side, drank it casually, and replied Qin Yu in a casual tone, “Yes, take the test.”
“Pfft.” Qin Yu was a bit condescending looking at Qin Ran and she couldn’t help but laugh. “Okay, Sister. Work hard, take the exam, I’ll be waiting for you in the capital.”
Ning Qing was sitting next to Qin Yu. If it had been a year ago, she would have spoken to Qin Ran, but today, even though her brows were knitted, she did not speak.
Mu Nan lowered his head to eat, his expression as cold as ever.
“Mu Ying, do you want to take the entrance exam to the capital too?” Qin Yu did not feel any threat from Qin Ran. She ate two bites happily, then put down her chopsticks and looked at Mu Ying.
Mu Ying lowered her head in embarrassment and pursed her lips. “Yes…”
Most schools in the capital required high scores.
Mu Nan could definitely pass the exam. Although Mu Ying’s previous results were not as good as Mu Nan, she was not bad as she got admitted to Heng Chuan First Middle School.
But in the past six months or so, her grades had fallen more and more severely.
She was able to get to the top ten in the past, but now she was only around rank 30.
Wandering between the middle and lower ranks…
“Well.” Qin Yu nodded. “I still have some notes at home. If you need them, come back to the Lin family house with me to get them later.”
Hearing Qin Yu’s words, Mu Ying raised her head and said in awe, “Thank you, Second Cousin!”
**
Qin Ran originally had something to say to Ning Wei, but Qin Yu and Ning Qing were here, so she wasn’t in the mood and sent a message directly to Cheng Mu for him to come over.
Qin Yu did not want to stay longer at Ning Wei’s house either and would return to the Lin family house after dinner.
Seeing her leave, Mu Ying immediately put down what she had at hand.
While following Qin Yu, she shouted, “Mom, I will go get the notes with Second Cousin.”
Ning Qing was one step behind the two and waited for Qin Ran for a while.
“Qin Ran, why did you drop out of school again?” Ning Qing pursed her lips, not knowing what tone to use. “Also, Yu’er said that Master Wei did not accept disciples at all. Where have you been these months?”
Qin Ran glanced at her phone. Cheng Mu replied that Cheng Juan was coming to pick her up.
She kept her phone back and did not read the message again.
She also did not reply to Ning Qing’s words. Her brows and eyes were completely indifferent.
Ning Qing knew that she was angry. She actually wanted to ask Feng Loucheng and Master Wei about this. Seeing Qin Ran like this, she couldn’t speak. “Even if your sister learns the violin, she did not fall behind in her studies. She can still rely on her grades to get into Beijing University. I know that you have always hated me, but is this only my problem? If you were as obedient as your sister and have the same good grades… Forget it, I’m leaving.”
After she finished speaking, she turned on her high heels to leave.
Qin Ran was a few steps behind Ning Qing and then walked even slower.
When she got down, Ning Qing had already sat in the passenger seat and closed the door.
The weather seemed not so good recently.
It started to drizzle in the night.
Qin Ran was standing at the door.
The Lin family’s car did not leave immediately, and the rear window came down, revealing Qin Yu’s pretty well-behaved face. “Sister, where are you going, I can let the driver send you. It’s raining, and the road is not easy to walk.”
Qin Ran was playing with her mobile phone in her hand. Hearing her words, she raised her eyes and responded with a cool tone, “No need.”
Qin Yu smiled and wanted to say that it was no trouble, but at this time, a black car slowly stopped by the roadside.
A clear and tall figure came down from the driver’s seat.
It was windy and rainy, but the figure was still calm, reflected by the dim street lamp, walking slowly with a black silk umbrella, as if coming out of an ink painting.
“Should I go up and see your aunt?” Cheng Juan stood under the stairs and waited for Qin Ran to come down, ignoring the looks from the car and lowering his voice.
Qin Ran tucked the phone back into her pocket, shook her head, and said in a low voice, “No, she has to work overtime at night.”
Cheng Juan thought about it but decided not to go up in the end.
When he returned, he would ask Cheng Mu to send a bunch of things to Ning Wei.
The two walked towards the car together.
**
Not far away, the Lin family’s car had not driven away yet, and the group of people saw this scene in front of their eyes.
Qin Yu had met Cheng Juan before, but then she went to the capital, and she did not know what happened next.
Following Teacher Dai, Qin Yu also met many people, especially at the large dinners she attended in the Capital and the one time in Continent M.
But she had never seen anyone stronger than the one at Qin Ran’s side.
“Mom, do you know him?” Qin Yu asked as she looked out of the car window.
Ning Qing shook her head, shrinking her neck involuntarily. “He’s a doctor with the surname Cheng. I don’t know anything else.”
Mu Ying also looked out the window, her eyes complicated.
Seeing the two get in the car, she couldn’t help but tilt her head and glance again.
Mu Ying had also met many children from rich families in the Capital last year, but none of them had a temperament and appearance comparable to Cheng Juan.
Seeing the black car drive away, Mu Ying retracted her complicated gaze.
Qin Yu nodded, and she noticed that the car Cheng Juan got into was a black Volkswagen with the license plate from the Capital.
She couldn’t help squinting her eyes slightly. Cheng?
She had stayed in the capital for more than half a year, and yet she had never heard of the surname Cheng… Moreover, he drove a Volkswagen.
Qin Yu couldn’t help but withdraw her gaze.
Their car was reaching the Lin family’s house soon.
Mu Ying had been to the Shen family’s house in the capital before. There was still a slight gap between the Lin family and the Shen family. Therefore, even when she came to the Lin family for the first time, Mu Ying did not have a surprised expression but followed Qin Yu silently.
“Came back so early?” Lin Qi and Old Master Lin were sitting on the sofa and discussing matters.
Now the Lin family no longer saw Qin Yu as invisible, especially Old Master Lin.
Qin Yu changed into a pair of slippers. “We came back after eating at Aunt’s house.” She said again after a pause, “Yes. Dad, Grandpa, do you know who I saw at Aunt’s house?”
“Who?” Old Master Lin laughed.
“My sister, she’s back for the college entrance examination.” Qin Yu’s voice was very excited.
Old Master Lin was taken aback for a moment but did not ask much. “She’s back.”
She did not attend school for more than seven months, and her grades were not good. He was not interested in whether Qin Ran could take the college entrance examination or not.
Seeing the expressions of Old Master Lin and Lin Qi, Qin Yu pursed her lips and smiled without saying much.
“Let’s go to my study to get you the notes.” She turned sideways and spoke warmly to Mu Ying.
**
Qin Yu went to her study upstairs, took down a bunch of notebooks, and handed them to Mu Ying.
Mu Ying took them immediately and said agitatedly, “Thank you, Second Cousin!”
“No problem,” Qin Yu said lightly.
Upstairs.
Meng Xinran was on the phone with her family, talking about the college entrance examination.
As she was still on the phone, she started to walk downstairs.
When she went downstairs, she happened to see Mu Ying.
Meng Xinran had never met Ning Qing’s relatives and naturally did not know Mu Ying. Mu Ying was in Year 1, and she had no reputation at school.
But Meng Xinran herself was well-known in school, especially as a student who transferred from the Capital at the beginning of the year, plus she was also a substitute for Team OST. Her reputation in the school was akin to that of thunder.
However, her popularity in the school declined due to the trouble with Class 3.9.
But Mu Ying still recognized Meng Xinran.
She held the pile of materials from Qin Yu and then bowed respectfully toward Meng Xinran. “Senior Meng.”
Meng Xinran still had her mobile phone in her hand.
Hearing Mu Ying’s voice, she only replied a faint “um”, as arrogant as ever, without speaking.
Mu Ying knew that she was from the capital, so, not daring to say anything, she turned around and left.
Because of her bending over and bowing her head.
An old photo fell out of her pile of review materials.
