Chapter 260: She’s Not Left-handed!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Without speaking, she picked up a pen with her right hand and wrote a line on the notebook.

Meng Xinran looked down stiffly, staring in shock at her words.

After staying in First Middle School for so long, she had heard many things about Qin Ran.

For example, the rumors that she was left-handed and that her handwriting wasn’t very nice...

But now...

She stared at the words on the paper—the strokes were steady and the handwriting stance was without restraint. It was nowhere similar to what she had heard in the rumors.

She stood up abruptly from her chair, her whole body stiff and her blood running cold.

Qin Ran glanced at her and threw the pen on the table. She raised her head and smiled cheerfully. “Sorry, but I’m not left-handed.”

This sentence was like thunder blasting through Meng Xinran’s mind. She stared at Qin Ran, her eyes turning dark and her body almost collapsing in shock!

She had worked so hard just to prevent Qin Ran from going to the examination room tomorrow. While locked in here for one afternoon and night, the only comfort in her heart had been that Qin Ran wouldn’t be able to take the exam since she had injured her left hand!

After so many deliberations, never did she expect Qin Ran to actually be a right-hander? Then what was the point of racking her brains for all those schemes?!

Five minutes later, someone came in and took her out while she was still in a daze.

Halfway across the room, she finally returned to her senses and grabbed the policewoman’s arm. “Where’s my phone? Give me my phone, I want to call my Dad!”

The policewoman glanced at her without a word. Then, she asked someone to hand Meng Xinran’s phone to her.

Meng Xinran stared at the time. One night and one afternoon had already passed. That was, the college entrance examination hadn’t started yet. With trembling fingers, she called her father.

“Dad, I’m now...” The phone was picked up after only one ring, and Meng Xinran quickly explained her situation to her father.

In her eyes, Qin Ran had no way of dealing with the car accident.

But now, she had started panicking.

“Meng Xinran.” Father Meng’s voice sounded very old. “I’ve already asked your uncle to beg Qin Ran. If she’s willing, we can settle this privately, but if not... you can only go to jail...”

“Privately? Beg Qin Ran?” As if she had just heard a joke, her lips curled up in a sneer. “Dad, who are you kidding? Why do we need to beg her? She’s just an orphan girl who has nothing, the Lin family and Qin Yu won’t even help her!”

“Orphan?” Father Meng was silent for a moment. He was now waiting for Lin Qi’s answer and didn’t even have the strength to scold his daughter. “An orphan girl can make the Meng family receive investigations? Meng Xinran, I’ve already warned you a long time ago not to be too conceited. You can only pray for your uncle to help us out now. Otherwise... I won’t be able to save you.”

When Qin Ran left the police station, Cheng Juan was waiting for her at the door.

Cheng Mu’s car was parked outside.

Cheng Juan first opened the car on the left to let Qin Ran enter, before going around to the right side.

Lu Zhaoying sat in the co-pilot seat, leaning lazily on the door. He put his hand on the back of the seat and turned to raise an eyebrow at Qin Ran. “Why did you go visit Meng Xinran?”

Cheng Juan unscrewed the lid of a thermos cup and handed it to her.

She took a sip and answered casually, “Nothing much, I just gave her a gift.”

“Okay.” Lu Zhaoying reluctantly accepted her answer. He turned around, fastened his seat belt, and let Cheng Mu drive the car back to the hospital.

Qin Ran originally had a comprehensive physical examination at nine o’clock in the morning.

But because she wanted to visit Meng Xinran all of a sudden, they had all compromised. Hence, Cheng Mu had driven the car over early in the morning.

They were now going back to continue the comprehensive examination.

When they arrived at the hospital, Cheng Juan went to find the doctor, while Lu Zhaoying and Cheng Mu accompanied Qin Ran to the 28th floor.

Talking to someone at the door of the ward, Butler Cheng immediately turned back when he heard the elevator door. He said in an evidently happy voice, “Miss Qin, come here, your mother has come to see you.”

He stepped to the side to reveal Ning Qing and Lin Qi behind him.

At the sight of them, Lu Zhaoying put his hands in his pockets and said indifferently, “To what do we owe the pleasure of President Lin and Madam Lin’s company?”

Standing behind Qin Ran, Cheng Mu only frowned without speaking.

Butler Cheng hadn’t heard Cheng Mu and the others talk about Qin Ran’s parents.

He hadn’t specifically checked on Qin Ran’s life either, so he had been very polite after finding out that Ning Qing was her mother.

But he could tell something was wrong after hearing Lu Zhaoying’s tone. He glanced calmly at Ning Qing and Lin Qi.

Ning Qing breathed a sigh of relief that Cheng Juan wasn’t here.

But after hearing Lu Zhaoying, she felt a little awkward and reached out to touch her hair involuntarily, speechless for a while.

“Ran Ran, I’ve come with your mother to visit you. Is your hand... okay?” Lin Qi’s eyes fell on her hand.

She had a cast in her left hand.

Lin Qi’s heart sank.

“It’s fine.” Qin Ran glanced at them and raised an eyebrow. She didn’t expect Ning Qing to actually visit her.

“Let’s go inside and not loiter around.” Lu Zhaoying stepped forward and lifted his chin, instructing Butler Cheng to open the door.

He took Qin Ran inside.

Outside, Ning Qing felt a little uncomfortable and glanced at Lin Qi.

Frowning, Lin Qi stared at Qin Ran’s back and pondered for a moment. After a long while, he nodded slightly.

The two of them went in.

Butler Cheng and Cheng Mu were still outside the door. He closed the door of the ward and didn’t enter immediately.

Instead, he walked over to Cheng Mu and asked in a low voice, “What’s the matter with Miss Qin’s mother? Young Master Lu...”

“Miss Qin’s mother has never cared for her.” Cheng Mu glanced at the door and lowered his voice. “Yesterday, even Lin Jinxuan came after receiving the news, but her mother didn’t come. She must have ulterior motives for coming here today.”

Butler Cheng narrowed his turbid eyes and turned back to the door of the ward.

Inside.

Ning Qing stood in the middle of the room awkwardly, not knowing what to say. She just weakly asked Qin Ran a few questions about her hand.

Lu Zhaoying sat on the sofa in the ward, playing games, and ignoring Ning Qing and Lin Qi.

Smiling, Butler Cheng walked in and gave chairs for Ning Qing and Lin Qi to sit on. He also poured a cup of tea for each of them politely.

Lin Qi sat down and took a sip from the teacup. He pursed his lips and hesitated for a moment before saying, “Ran Ran, did the doctor say how long your hand will take to recover?”

“Half a month to a month.” Qin Ran sat down on the other side of the table and casually clasped her fingers on it.

Then she really couldn’t take the college entrance examination. Pressing his eyebrows, Lin Qi put down the teacup and stood up. He bowed in front of Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, I have only just found out about Xinran. I... feel very ashamed as well. Although I’m aware that what she did wasn’t right, I still hope you can forgive her this time. I will give her a lecture and send her abroad so that she’ll never return to China ever again. I really hope you can forgive her this time.”

Qin Ran leaned back on her chair and listened on. She supported her chin with her uninjured right hand and smiled casually, not in the least bit surprised.

She had already guessed as such. Why would Ning Qing care about whether her hand was injured before the college entrance examination?

After seeing her smile and looking less sharp than before, Ning Qing breathed a sigh of relief.

“Yes, Ran Ran. Since you took half a year off school, the college entrance examination isn’t of much use to you anyway. It doesn’t matter if you can’t take the exam this year, I’ll find a good tuition class for you.” Ning Qing’s words came out smoothly as she continued.

Lin Qi sat beside her, frowning at her words, but not interrupting her.

Butler Cheng had been standing at the side with a smile. There was always a smile on his old kind face and he had been considerably respectful to Ning Qing and Lin Qi.

However, after hearing this, his smile gradually faded.

Qin Ran held her chin with one hand and said with an indifferent expression, “And?”

“Xinran is still young, so she was confused for a moment.” Ning Qing took a deep breath. “Tomorrow is the college entrance examination. If she really has a criminal record because of this, what will happen to her future? Have you ever thought about how you might ruin someone’s life...”

Before she could finish speaking, Lu Zhaoying, who had been playing games on the sofa, couldn’t suppress his anger anymore. He smashed his phone suddenly and exploded. “Then have you thought about what would happen to our young Qin Ran if she can’t take the college entrance exam? Have you ever thought about whether there will be any residual effects on her hand?! I thought you really found your conscience and came to see her, but it seems like I’ve overestimated you! You really think we’re so easy to bully and nobody is covering for us?! Thank God Qin Ran didn’t live with the Lin family in the beginning. Otherwise, we won’t know how badly she would be bullied! You’ve come to beg us to forgive Meng Xinran? In your dreams!”

“Cheng Mu, come in and get rid of these two!” Lu Zhaoying sneered and opened the mouth.

Cheng Mu had been standing outside when he heard Lu Zhaoying’s voice. He opened the door of the ward and directly walked to Ning Qing.

The door of the ward was originally half-closed and Cheng Mu’s five senses were also sensitive, so he had also heard Ning Qing’s words. At this moment, he stared at Ning Qing very coldly.

At the same time, two people in black came to drag Ning Qing out!

Their movements were simple and rude.

Ning Qing didn’t expect Qin Ran to stay silent, so she looked at her incredulously. She didn’t expect Qin Ran to allow others to treat her like that either. “Qin Ran, how could you...”

Qin Ran reached out for the glass of water that Butler Cheng handed her. She smiled widely and said, “Madam Ning, it sounds like you’ve found the wrong person.”

She was clearly smiling, but her tone was as unruly as always, and the bottom of her eyes was boundlessly dark.

Ning Qing felt a shiver run down her spine at this moment. After Chen Shulan’s death, she had already felt like Qin Ran was a little different, but today, her perception was even clearer.

Towards strangers... Qin Ran also used this kind of perfunctory and unruly attitude.

When had it become like this?

Ning Qing was thrown into the elevator by the bodyguards. She got up in embarrassment and suddenly felt intensely uneasy.

Something seemed so far from her.

Lin Qi wasn’t thrown out with her. He followed behind Cheng Mu and the others, walked into the elevator, and sighed, his eyes drooping. “You shouldn’t have spoken to Ran Ran like that. It’s clearly Xinran’s fault, and Ran Ran is the victim...”

“Forget it.” Lin Qi was about to say something, but he still stopped himself and just shook his head. “Let’s go back.”

His phone rang when he stepped out of the elevator.

It was Father Meng.

He stared at his phone for a long time before picking up.

“How is it?” Father Meng sounded very nervous.

Lin Qi didn’t speak.

Father Meng seemed to have guessed such a result. He just laughed bitterly and then hung up. “I understand, thank you.”

Lin Qi put down his phone. He had already known in his heart that the Meng family and Meng Xinran were goners.

They left the hospital in silence. The Lin family’s chauffeur saw their expressions and dared not ask anything. He drove the car back silently.

On the way, Ning Qing was still very uneasy. After returning home, she didn’t go upstairs and just put her bag on the table before pouring herself a glass of cold water.

“Mom, where did you go?” Qin Yu came downstairs and asked in confusion when she saw Ning Qing’s state.

The cold water made Ning Qing return to her senses, and she looked up at Qin Yu.

At the sight of her obedient daughter, her unsteady heart slowly calmed down. “Yu’er, the college entrance examination is tomorrow. Are you ready for it?”

“Yes, it shouldn’t be a problem.” Qin Yu smiled.

Ning Qing finally smiled and slowly heaved a sigh of relief. She put the teacup on the table.

From beginning to end, Qin Yu was the trump card in her hand. As long as Qin Yu was fine, she would rest assured.

**

The next day, 7th June.

It was the first day of the college entrance examination.

Qin Ran got up very early in the villa.

Butler Cheng also got up early in the morning. He had taken over Cheng Mu’s task temporarily and was watering her flowers with the watering can. When he saw Qin Ran, he couldn’t help raising his eyes and asking in surprise, “Miss Qin, why are you up so early? Why don’t you sleep a little longer?”
