“Does he know...” Principal Xu looked at Lu Zhaoying and the rest and reacted suddenly. He paused before continuing, “Does he know your situation?!”
“It’s fine, I won’t be crippled.” Qin Ran supported her chin with her other hand and pressed her fingertips against her lips.
Principal Xu had always been calm and elegant. He was rational and restrained. This was the first time Cheng Juan and the others had heard him swear.
Cheng Juan carefully sprayed powder on Qin Ran’s wound, glancing up at Principal Xu at the same time.
He was very quiet.
But Lu Zhaoying wasn’t as calm. He looked at Qin Ran in shock, then at Principal Xu. These two people not only had a huge gap in terms of age but also in their identity.
The Xu family in Beijing couldn’t compete with the top three families, but Elder Xu’s position in Beijing was extremely important. Hence, the Xu family had always been ranked right behind them.
Many people wanted to make friends with the Xu family and get close to Elder Xu.
He didn’t expect Principal Xu to not only know Qin Ran but to be so close to her?!
He turned and saw that Qi Chengjun, who had been stunned from beginning to end, was now completely calm. Lu Zhaoying couldn’t help but ask him.
“Is this very strange?” Qi Chengjun raised his eyebrows slightly and looked away from Qin Ran before saying slowly, “I can even accept Master Juan’s weird behaviors, much less Principal Xu’s.”
No wonder he was a lawyer, he hit the nail on the head.
Lu Zhaoying was stunned for a moment. He reacted and felt like this really did seem to be the case.
But why was Principal Xu behaving like this? Was it because she looked good and he liked looking at her?
Principal Xu said something to Qin Ran and Cheng Juan before leaving.
The workers from the hotel had already sent food over. Tonight’s dinner was crayfish.
Qin Ran had been looking forward to it until she saw a layer of garlic on the crayfish’s body. “...”
Lu Zhaoying and Qi Chengjun each opened a bottle of beer and drank it. Qi Chengjun had also brought a bottle of wine. Qin Ran poked a straw in, but it was taken away by Cheng Juan before she could even take a sip.
“Today’s main dish is crayfish.” He put milk in front of her and pointed to the table.
Qin Ran poked at the rice with her chopsticks and looked up at him. “It’s only nice if it’s spicy.”
Cheng Juan glanced at her and peeled a shrimp. He wasn’t very skilled at it, but he was very meticulous. He was a doctor, after all. He trimmed the shells very neatly.
He put the plump shrimp into her bowl, then took a piece of tissue paper and wiped his slender fingers. “Try it.”
Qi Chengjun paused and marveled at this scene.
“Look, just like that.” He lowered his head slightly and whispered to Lu Zhaoying.
Compared to this, how big of a deal was Principal Xu’s reaction?
Could you find someone in Beijing who Master Juan bowed his head to?
Lu Zhaoying wasn’t surprised and just asked Qin Ran casually, “Qin Ran, how do you know Principal Xu?”
“Principal Xu came to our town to help the poor before. I came to First Middle School because of his recommendation.” Qin Ran ate the crayfish in small bites.
Her expression wasn’t strange at all.
Lu Zhaoying scratched his head and felt like this was too exaggerated. He opened his mouth and wanted to ask something, but Cheng Juan glanced at him and he immediately sealed his mouth.
Cheng Juan lowered his head. His eyes were clear, but his heart wasn’t as calm as he seemed.
Who on earth was this girl in front of him?
She was involved in the big case 712, and half of the information had even been sealed off; Feng Loucheng had found 129 for her, and even the usually calm Principal Xu was protecting her. Anybody with logical thoughts would be surprised...
She was quite a mysterious person...

At the same time.
In an alley in the suburbs.
“Wu Yan, I’m sorry. I didn’t expect Qiao Sheng to disobey Young Master Xu and harm you...” Qin Yu pushed the door and entered Wu Yan’s room.
Wu Yan was sitting on her bed in a daze. Hearing this, she responded slowly, “It’s not your fault. Qiao Sheng didn’t do this.”
Her voice was hoarse and her eyes drooped down.
She threw aside her white phone; the screen was still showing the school forum.
Almost every post on the school forum was discussing and condemning her. Wu Yan was too afraid to even look at it now.
“If it wasn’t him, who else could have obtained the video?” Qin Yu looked at Wu Yan in surprise.
“Who else?...” Wu Yan laughed a little strangely and seemed to have remembered something. But before she spoke, she swallowed her words and changed the topic stiffly. “My parents want me to change schools next semester.”
Qin Yu’s lips curled slightly, but she restrained it in the next moment. “Come and find me if you have anything. I will help in whatever ways I can.”
Wu Yan nodded indiscriminately and waited for Qin Yu to leave.
Then, she picked up her phone and opened her photo album with her finger. At one glance, she found the picture she was searching for.
She then clenched her fingers, cold and sinister. Her eyes were completely mad.

The next day was Saturday.
Qin Ran didn’t go to the hospital. Instead, she called Chen Shulan and went to Ning Wei’s house at noon.
Ning Wei was on leave today.
When Qin Ran arrived, the aroma of the food in the kitchen was still lingering with Ning Wei busy inside.
“Cousin, you’re here.” Mu Ying opened the door and let Qin Ran in.
When Qin Ran entered, she saw that Qin Yu and Ning Qing were both sitting on the sofa in the hall.
Ever since their last argument, Ning Qing had been lectured by Chen Shulan again. This was the first time she had seen Qin Ran since and she picked up the tea on the table awkwardly.
“Ran Ran, your hand...”
She glanced at Qin Ran’s right hand and opened her mouth at the thought of what Chen Shulan had said. She wanted to ask about her right hand; it had indeed been bothering her all this while.
However, before she could speak, Qin Ran turned and walked into the kitchen to see Ning Wei.
Ning Qing’s hand stiffened and she picked up the tea that Mu Ying had poured for her to cover up her embarrassment.
“Second cousin, your tea.” Mu Ying handed another cup to Qin Yu.
Qin Yu looked at the teacup and took it, but didn’t drink it and just put it on the table. She didn’t know how many people had drunk from this cup before, and Ning Wei’s house didn’t even have disinfectant.
Mu Ying didn’t go into the kitchen to help Ning Wei and Qin Ran. She sat beside Qin Yu and looked at her and smiled very obediently. “Your watch is really beautiful.”
She saw that Qin Yu was on the school forum and couldn’t help but pick up her phone. “Second cousin, why are you in the school forum?”
She was used to entering the page.
She flipped through it casually and saw that a post with almost one thousand replies had the word “campus belle” on it. She knew that it was talking about Qin Ran and so couldn’t help but click in.
She saw the town plan at one glance and the half-covered title behind it. Her eyes widened and her fingers froze in disbelief.
Qin Yu kept her phone at this time and turned over, asking in curiosity, “Mu Ying, what’s wrong?”
Ning Qing also looked over.
