Chapter 59: Two Slaps
She had already reached a professional level.
Her violin was extremely good and she was his proud disciple.
She used to be and still was.
“Mom, I’m back—” A clear voice from outside interrupted Father Xu’s thoughts.
The driver pushed open the door and Qin Yu came in with a stack of books. She saw Ning Qing sitting with Father Xu in the gazebo on the left, turned, and said quietly, “Mom, your friend is here?”
Qin Yu had not seen Father Xu before. She looked him up and down and couldn’t remember who he was.
He probably wasn’t close to the Lin family.
Otherwise, Lin Wan would have come out to entertain him.
Qin Yu quietly looked at the bank card in Ning Qing’s hand and guessed very smartly. “Is this... Xu Shen’s father?”
Inside the room, Lin Wan drank half a cup of tea, gathered her shawl, and walked out slowly, her movements graceful.
The other servants didn’t dare to look up, but they moved lightly and listened with pointed ears.
Ning Qing could feel the servants occasionally glance over with strange expressions.
From yesterday to today, news of the Lin family members running around for Qin Ran, who had been detained by the police due to a fight, had already spread throughout the whole Lin family.
It had taken her twelve years to create the image of a magnificent lady of her own. In just one month, she seemed to have become a joke.
“Mr. Xu, it’s not good for anyone if this matter is publicized. If it’s possible, it’s best to settle it privately. It’ll be good for our families’ reputation too,” Lin Wan said.
Lin Wan had no intention of bothering about Ning Qing’s daughter, nor did she want to spend time on such things.
She didn’t know why Lin Qi and Lin Jinxuan had to protect this stepdaughter Qin Ran, who could bring nothing to the table except for her pretty face. However, since Lin Jinxuan had already come to her for help, she couldn’t just stand by and watch.
“Uncle Xu, my sister finally had the opportunity to come to First Middle School. She has been delayed for a year already and can’t take a break anymore.” Qin Yu took her schoolbag back to the servant.
She didn’t like Qin Ran, but she hated the idea of an elder sister behind bars even more.
“I want to settle it privately too.” Father Xu quickly took out his check and embarrassedly said, “This is my son’s fault. On account of me having taught Ran Ran before, tell her to request for the Chief to stop pressurizing my son. She definitely wouldn’t want to see me, so Mrs. Lin, could you help me hand this cheque to her?”
Speaking of this, he bowed his head in shame. “This is a one-million-dollar compensation. I heard that Ran Ran’s hand was also injured. Her hand...”
Nothing could happen to her hand.
Hearing this, the room was silent, and even Ning Qing had yet to respond.
Qin Yu looked at Father Xu in shock.
How could there be such a big reversal all of a sudden?
Father Xu gave the check to Ning Qing and turned to leave.
Lin Wan squinted at Father Xu’s back for a long time and then at Ning Qing, who was still rooted in place. Her voice was particularly clear as she asked, “Your daughter knows the Chief?”
Ning Qing was also shocked.
Her realization came later. So Qin Ran wasn’t at fault in this matter?
From the moment she had known about this matter, she had accused her subconsciously. She hadn’t listened to her explanation and hadn’t even known that her hand was injured.
Looking down at the one-million cheque in her hand, Ning Qing’s heart trembled. Even Father Xu knew that she had a hand injury, but she, as her mother, hadn’t known about it until just now...
Qin Yu looked at the scene, digging her fingernails into the palm of her hand. She said, “Aunt, I reorganized a tune last night. Do you want to listen to it and see if Teacher Wei will like it?”
Lin Wan had stayed in the Lin family for so long to watch Qin Yu practice the violin.
It was her top priority.

Late self-study.
Qin Ran leaned against the wall and threw a notebook onto Lin Siran’s table. She had a lollipop in her mouth and was absentminded.
“What is this?” Lin Siran flipped through the notebook. It was a physics review note, and she opened her mouth softly.
She opened it and took a look at the three cursive words written on the title page.
She only recognized one “song” and one “law”.
Qin Ran’s eyelids were squinting. Perhaps it was because of her hand, but she was a little wan and her voice was hoarse. “Someone gave me that, you can take a look.”
“Oh.” Lin Siran nodded.
She turned a few pages and accepted Qin Ran’s kindness, but didn’t pay much attention to it.
She just set it aside.
Qin Ran put her mobile phone on the table and flipped through the book in her hand while deep in thought. Her eyebrows looked frustrated and she bit the lollipop in her mouth into pieces.
Lin Siran helped her unscrew the lid of her bottle and poured water into it.
“Ran Ran, your phone is ringing.” She pointed to Qin Ran’s mobile phone that was vibrating constantly.
“Don’t worry about it.” Qin Ran didn’t even look up. She squinted her eyes and her voice was lazy.
The caller was Ning Qing, and she was too lazy to answer.
After self-study.
Qin Ran didn’t return to the dormitory with Lin Siran. She cleared her throat and tilted her head slightly. “I’m going to buy something.”
“Need my help?” Lin Siran looked at her hand.
“No.” Qin Ran walked towards the door of the school, waving back to Lin Siran and smiling. “I’ll come back immediately.”
There were many students living in school who had self-study, and students also came back to school to study as well, but there were only a few.
It was deserted and dark outside the school.
Qin Yu had originally been practicing the violin at home, but she kept thinking about Qin Ran’s affairs and couldn’t calm down. She wasn’t playing the violin well and was afraid Lin Wan would hear it, so she made an excuse to come to school.
She always felt that Qin Ran was out of her control.
“Miss.” The driver of the Lin family opened the door and let Qin Yu get on.
Qin Yu nodded and was just about to get in the car when she saw a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.
She gestured slightly to the driver to wait for her and walked to an alley in the school’s residential area.
There were no lights in the alley.
Only the faint yellow street lights at the intersection.
Qin Ran hid at the intersection, looking around carefully. She saw a black car at the end of the alley, a Mercedes.
Qin Ran stood by the door.
Beside her, there was a man. Because he was facing away from Qin Yu, she couldn’t see his face, but she vaguely saw that he wasn’t young. The figure had a vaguely familiar side face—
Qin Yu was startled.
