Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It would have been fine if he hadn’t known any better, but after finding out about Qin Ran, Butler Cheng simply couldn’t get over this hurdle in his heart.

The phone in the Cheng family’s house in Beijing rang a few times and was immediately picked up.

It was a servant from the Cheng family.

“Is the Old Master there?” Butler Cheng sat on the sofa and asked seriously.

“Please wait a minute.” The servant went to find Old Master Cheng.

“Butler Cheng.” Old Master Cheng picked up the phone and asked directly, “When are you coming back to Beijing?”

Butler Cheng was stunned for a moment but regained his composure quickly. “I think the college entrance examination results will be released on the 23rd. After handling the miscellaneous matters, we will probably return in early July.”

“Early July...” Old Master Cheng squinted.

There was still more than half a month to go.

He tapped his fingers on the table for a long time before asking, “Yun Cheng’s scenery is good, right?”

Butler Cheng had yet to realize his intentions. “What?”

“It’s probably beautiful. I heard that there are many historic sites and scenic spots there.” Old Master Cheng mused. “I’ll go to Yun Cheng in a while to see the scenery.”

He murmured to himself and hung up the phone without waiting for Butler Cheng’s response.

Butler Cheng was shocked to hear that Old Master Cheng wanted to come to Yun Cheng to play. He instantly forgot that he had called him to talk about Qin Ran’s achievements in the first place.

After hanging up, he sat on the sofa thinking carefully.

A long time passed before he finally looked up towards the stairs. His lips twitched involuntarily...

Could it be that Old Master Cheng was here to see Miss Qin?

See the scenery?

Although there were indeed a few historic sites in Yun Cheng, they were basically under-developed. How were they comparable to Beijing’s sights?

Most importantly, Old Master Cheng hadn’t been in good health and hadn’t left Beijing for decades.

While he was still brooding, Cheng Juan, Lu Zhaoying, and the others returned.

“Young Master.” Butler Cheng stood up immediately in greeting.

Reaching out to take off his jacket, Cheng Juan rolled up the sleeves of his black shirt inside. He took a cup of tea from Butler Cheng and went to sit down on the sofa.

Lu Zhaoying sat down opposite him, glancing upstairs apprehensively before asking Butler Cheng, “Qin Ran hasn’t come down since the end of the examination?”

In the past, Butler Cheng would never understand why Lu Zhaoying was so apprehensive.

But he understood a little bit at this time and was also in a bad mood.

He nodded slightly at Lu Zhaoying, thinking that Qin Ran had stayed upstairs because she was too upset.

“Young Master, there’s one more thing,” Butler Cheng said immediately at the thought of what Old Master Cheng just said. “Old Master said he will be coming to Yun Cheng soon.”

Worried about Old Master Cheng’s health, Butler Cheng decided to inform Cheng Juan about this.

Reaching out to pull his sleeves, Cheng Juan frowned. “Why is he coming to Yun Cheng to join in the fun?”

Was he going to play mahjong with Elder Xu?

Butler Cheng didn’t dare tell him that Old Master Cheng might be coming to visit Miss Qin. He just lowered his head silently and minded his own business.

Upstairs, Qin Ran was unaware that a certain old master wanted to come specifically for her.

She sat down in front of the computer desktop and turned on her computer first.

A video popped up on the computer screen soon, showing a dull and indifferent face. It was her neighbor, Lu Zhixing.

Tonight was Class 3.9’s gathering. Had it been possible, she would have wanted to join them as well.

However, she still had to deal with some matters at the Yunguang Consortium.

She had no choice but to come back first.

“Uncle Lu,” Qin Ran said and glanced behind him. She raised an eyebrow. “You’re in Beijing?”

“Yes.” Lu Zhixin let go of his hand on the keyboard. “I can only feel rest assured by overseeing the EA-series myself. It’ll be released at the end of this month. Have you finished your exams? When will you come to Beijing?”

“Not so soon, I have to fill out my aspirations first.” Qin Ran took her black bag with her right hand and opened the zipper one-handedly.

Nodding, Lu Zhixin noticed her hand and couldn’t help frowning. “What happened to your hand?”

“Someone vile stirred up the hornet’s nest.” Qin Ran glanced indifferently at her right hand. “It’s fine, don’t worry.”

“That’s good.” Lu Zhixin didn’t ask which vile person she had offended. After all, she wasn’t the kind to get the short end of the stick. “Several people are investigating you. Will you appear at the press conference this time?”

“No, it’s too troublesome. We’ll just follow the norms.” Qin Ran squinted and took out a document from her black backpack.

Lu Zhixin agreed. He watched as she took out the document, then he stood up to pour himself a cup of tea. “Have you signed yet?” He asked and took a sip of tea.

“I didn’t have time.” Qin Ran took out a pen and signed a few letters on the first page. “I’ll let someone send it to Beijing later, please check it carefully then.”

“Okay.” Lu Zhixin put down his teacup and continued discussing several procedural issues with her.

They were about to hang up when Lu Zhixin asked in a rather light tone, “President Yang doesn’t know about your injury, right?”

“I don’t think so.” She leaned on her chair and said calmly, “The news has been blocked.”

“That’s good.” Lu Zhixin nodded. “Then he won’t go to Yun Cheng.”

Turning two more pages, Qin Ran continued to sign the paper and didn’t reply to him.

Seeing how she was ignoring him, Lu Zhixin couldn’t help but shake his head and chuckle. “Okay, we’ll talk in detail when you’re in Beijing.”

“Ok.” Qin Ran reached out slowly and hung up the video.

She held her pen and continued to sign when her phone rang again. It was Qin Hanqiu.

She put down her pen and picked up.

It was Qin Ling talking.

“Sister, how was your exam today?” Qin Ling asked quietly.

He had called twice before the college entrance examination.

Leaning on the chair, Qin Ran raised an eyebrow when she heard that it wasn’t Qin Hanqiu on the phone. She said in a relaxed voice, “It was okay.”

“Then can I visit you during my summer vacation?” Qin Ling’s voice sounded a little cautious.

Qin Ran didn’t reply immediately.

On the other end, Qin Ling was almost holding his breath.

“Don’t come to Yun Cheng, I might go back.” After thinking about it, Qin Ran didn’t reject him completely. She hung up the phone and then threw it aside.

Picking up her pen again, she signed on the last page.

Her handwriting was sloppy and her brushstrokes were sharp.

If anyone was here at this time.

They would definitely recognize it—

The messy letters she had signed were Poppy!

After signing, she put the documents in a file and went downstairs to find Butler Cheng.

“Mail it to Beijing?” Butler Cheng glanced at it and nodded directly.

His attitude towards her was much better than towards Cheng Juan.

Unaccustomed to this, Qin Ran coughed and told him the address. “Just mail it there.”

Butler Cheng replied warmly, “Yes, Miss Qin. Anything else?”

“No.” Qin Ran pressed her temple with her right hand.

Once Butler Cheng had left to help her mail the file, she lowered her head and asked Cheng Juan beside her, “Is Butler Cheng alright?”

“He’s fine.” He glanced at her left hand and confirmed that there was no major problem today before replying lightly, “It’s just a short period of indirect mental disorder.”

Qin Ran squinted. “Really?”

At the gate, Butler Cheng sneezed and rubbed his nose.

He found the errand guy and said a few words in a low voice before handing him the document.

“Beijing Financial Center?” The errand guy glanced at the address and was taken aback. “Are you sending something to Young Lady?”

Stunned, Butler Cheng was surprised to hear that Qin Ran was mailing to the financial center. “No, this is a letter from Miss Qin.”

The errand guy simply nodded and left without asking further about Miss Qin’s matter.

Butler Cheng, on the other hand, felt something was wrong. He looked behind him and stared at Qin Ran’s room on the second floor.

He frowned slightly. What did Miss Qin mail to the financial center? How did she know someone from there?

On the other side, after Qin Ling hung up the phone.

He held the phone with shining eyes.

“Xiao Ling, did you just call your sister Qin Yu? When is she coming?” Mother Qin was keeping the bowls on the table and glanced at him.

He pursed his lips and responded indiscriminately.

Although he was still young, he was well aware that his mother was very opposed to his father bringing Qin Ran back.

He handed the phone to Qin Hanqiu and went back to do his homework in his room.

“This child.” Mother Qin frowned and glanced at Qin Hanqiu. “I remember that both your daughters and my nephew are taking the college entrance examination this year. I wonder how they did...”

Sitting quietly while smoking a cigarette, Qin Hanqiu picked up his phone. He knew that Qin Ling had called Qin Ran, and was worrying over how she had done for the examination this year.

**

More than half a month passed by very quickly.

June 23rd arrived in the blink of an eye, and all candidates of the examination were in a bundle of nerves.

Today, the college entrance examination results would be released.
