Chapter 21: Write Off

She originally thought that her heart was like a stubborn rock, but in the end, she was still a human being. Originally, she thought that she had long been disheartened by the Qin Family, but when she brought out the past one by one and talked about it in detail, it was as if all the grievances she had suffered over the years had been overturned once again. Looking at these familiar yet unfamiliar faces, Qin Ran held back her tears.

“What are you talking about, child? When have we ever mistreated you?” When Mr. Qin saw that everyone’s expression changed, he hurriedly interrupted Qin Ran.

“No? But right now, the one who was supposed to be engaged to the Fu Family was Qin Xue. Why are you forcing me to marry him now?”

The news of the Fu family’s young master being paralyzed in a car accident had spread throughout the business circle of Xuanchuan City. Everyone present was famous in the business circle. Who didn’t know about this? So the Qin family really forced their daughter into a dead end for the sake of their business!

Mr. Qin felt his anger rising. If there weren’t so many outsiders present, he would have slapped her.

“I won’t marry anyone that I can’t marry. I’ll leave the family that I can’t integrate into. All the uncles and aunties here are people of status. I would like everyone to be my witness.” When Qin Ran said this, she bowed deeply to everyone below the stage before continuing.

“From today onwards, I, Qin Ran, and everyone in the Qin family, including Qin Yun, Zheng Rong, Qin Yang, Qin Fei, Qin Xiang, and so on, will sever all ties with each other and never interact with each other again.

“I will hire a professional lawyer to determine how much I should pay you back for all the expenses that I’ve incurred in the Qin family before I was three years old and for these six months. Please rest assured that I will pay you back every cent.”

This speech was much more interesting than the speech for the college entrance examination. Mrs. Qin looked at the people below the stage, who were watching the fun and watching the show. This made her hate her biological daughter even more.

“What right do you have to sever our ties off just like that? The kindness of giving birth is not something that can be measured with money!” Mrs. Qin shouted at the top of her voice. Even without the microphone, more than half of the people present heard this clearly.

“You’re right. You’ve given birth to me and raised me, and you’ve done me a favor in the past. There are always people who say that parents would always love their children. Although I don’t have any memories of what happened before I was three years old, every time I look at this bracelet, I’m willing to believe that all of you were once happy for my birth and sincerely prayed that I would be happy and healthy for my entire life.”

Qin Ran spread out her hand. In her palm was a red string that was lined with three gold beads. “The three gold beads on the red string represent three conditions. You can name any one of them. As long as it doesn’t harm anyone, the country, or the law, I will do my best to help you complete it.”

After Qin Ran finished speaking, she handed the red string to Mr. Qin.

“Alright, that’s all. Zhang Lan, do you still remember your bet?” Qin Ran turned around and looked at Zhang Lan. She was the one who wanted to dig a hole for herself. She couldn’t stop her.

When she saw that Zhang Lan’s face was flushed red, but there was no reaction, Qin Ran continued, “If you don’t say anything, I’ll take it that you’ve tacitly agreed to it. I remember that we agreed that whoever lost would bark like a puppy, and you even had to call her ‘Master’, right?”

If a tiger didn’t show its might, they would think she was a sick cat. Previously, in order to integrate into the Qin family, she would rarely refute the Qin family’s requests. She would try her best to agree to all kinds of unreasonable requests. However, since they had already fallen out, no one could bully her anymore.

“Xiao Xue, save me.” The bet back then was to please Qin Xue, so Zhang Lan could only seek help from her now.

What a fool. Qin Xue was frustrated that she had made such a friend. However, in front of everyone, she still had to pretend to be kind and soft-hearted. “Sis, at that time, it was Xiao Lan who spoke without thinking and spoke rudely. You are a magnanimous person, so don’t bother with her.”

“I’m not a big person, nor am I magnanimous. Haven’t I always sought revenge for the smallest grievance? So how can I disappoint you?” A decent smile hung on Qin Ran’s face. Every word she said was reasonable. She was so embarrassed that Qin Xue could only look at her father and ask for help.

However, Mr. Qin couldn’t even take care of himself now. How could he say anything else to embarrass himself more?

“Sis, just take it that I’m begging you. Please be magnanimous and don’t make things difficult for Xiao Lan. We are classmates after all.” Qin Xue had no choice but to bite the bullet.

“That’s true. Then I’ll let her go, and you’ll do it on her behalf. Haven’t you always been close friends? Didn’t you say that you would do anything for your friend? It’s time to show off.”

As the conversation went on, Qin Xue finally understood that if Zhang Lan did not do it, Qin Ran would definitely not take things lying down. She really did not understand why this wild girl was so powerful all of a sudden. She became eloquent and had a high IQ. Why couldn’t she tell before?
