  Mu Ying had already gone downstairs. Meng Xinran saw it and was too lazy to call her.

  She ignored the old photo directly.

  From the corner of her eye, Meng Xinran paused when she saw the figure on the old photo.

  “Mom, I’ll hang up first,” she said to the person on the other end of the phone, then cut off the call, squatted down, leaned over, and picked up the photo at her feet.

  There were four people in the photo.

  She recognized the second person on the left as Qin Ran, and there was an old woman in the middle. The first person on the left was the girl who just called her Senior Meng, and the first person on the right was a cold-looking boy.

  Meng Xinran took this photo and couldn’t help squinting.

  After being in school for so long, she naturally heard some things about Qin Ran’s sudden suspension from school, and many of them were rumored that Qin Ran’s grandmother passed away and she couldn’t bear the shock.

  The news was not particularly credible, but Meng Xinran knew that Qin Ran was indeed brought up by her grandmother.

  And Qin Ran…… it was true that she dropped out of school after her grandmother passed away.

  No matter what, Qin Ran cared about her grandmother.

  Meng Xinran looked at this photo thoughtfully.

  “Ms. Biao, aren’t you going to rest?” Aunt Zhang came up with a glass of milk and looked at Meng Xinran suspiciously.

  Meng Xinran immediately tucked the photo back into her pocket. She pondered for a moment, then nodded and said calmly, “Yes, I’m going to rest now.”


  **

  At the same time.

  In Qin Yu’s room, she was calling Dai Ran.

  Dai Ran’s voice was slightly low. “The assessment by the Association will be in two months. It will be no problem for you to get the first place among these students. Then I will ask Master Wei to recommend you to the Continent M National Violin Association.”


  To recommend candidates to the Continent M Association, Dai Ran definitely did not have this qualification.

  After searching several times in the entire Violin Association, only Master Wei could contact people in Continent M.

  There were many new members of the Violin Association this year, and Qin Yu was indeed not the most talented, but she was the most hardworking and the most famous.

  Her fans on Weibo were also approaching 10 million.

  Speaking of this, a trace of arrogance appeared in Qin Yu’s eyes.

  Both Continent M and the Capital were the ultimate goals of her struggle.

  She had just showered, and she was wearing a bathrobe, standing by the French window. She opened the window, her eyes filled with confidence. “Thank you, Teacher.”


  She told Dai Ran a few things about the National Violin Association and Continent M and suddenly remembered running into Cheng Juan at Ning Wei’s that night.

  “Teacher, I have one more question I want to ask you.” She squinted slightly.

  Dai Ran did not hang up the phone either. He had always been patient with Qin Yu. “Ask away.”


  “Is there a family surnamed Cheng in the capital?” Qin Yu pursed her lips.

  “Cheng?” Dai Ran’s voice tightened when Qin Yu mentioned this. Cheng, he could only think of the courtyard in that alley.

  Qin Yu looked at the tree outside the window, her voice somewhat indifferent and very weak. “It’s okay, just asking. My sister seems to be walking very close to a man surnamed Cheng from the Capital.”


  “Well……” Dai Ran thought that Qin Yu had provoked the Cheng family. Hearing this sentence, his heart loosened.

  He had heard of Qin Yu’s sister, but he couldn’t get in touch with the Cheng family at all. He calmed down. “The Cheng family has a big boss group, but I haven’t seen it. It should have nothing to do with your sister.”


  Hearing Dai Ran’s words, Qin Yu smiled. “I see. Rest early, Teacher.”


  Dai Ran had never seen it, so it should have nothing to do with the man next to Qin Ran…… After all, the other party was a doctor.

  Qin Yu put down her phone and went to the bathroom to get a hairdryer to blow her hair.

  After blowing her hair dry, her phone rang a few times. It was Xu Yaoguang.

  Now that she was back in Yun Cheng, Qin Yu had not been as clingy towards Xu Yaoguang as before.

  She glanced at the message Xu Yaoguang had sent. She asked which school Xu Yaoguang was going to for the exam earlier, and Xu Yaoguang replied her—


  [Nine Middle School.]

  Nine Middle School?

  Qin Yu was in Heng Chuan First Middle School, tested in her own school.

  She did not say anything else.

  **

  At the downtown villa.

  Wearing glasses, Butler Cheng was looking at Qin Ran’s admission pass and a series of materials.

  “Master, Miss Qin is taking an exam at Yun Cheng First Middle School. The day after tomorrow, we will take Miss Qin to see the examination room and get familiar with it,” Butler Cheng flipped through the notebook in his hand and said solemnly.

  Cheng Juan glanced at Qin Ran. She was sitting on the opposite side playing with her mobile phone. Hearing this, she raised her eyes. “No, I made an appointment with my classmates to see the examination room.”


  She, Qiao Sheng, and Lin Siran were all in the same school—Yun Cheng First Middle School.

  Heng Chuan’s century-old rival.

  Butler Cheng put away the notebook and nodded. “Then let Cheng Mu send you to Yun Cheng First Middle School tomorrow.”


  He thought for a while and called the chef out again, asking him to prepare food fit for college entrance examination candidates in the next few days.

  The chef nodded and then took careful note.

  Hearing such meticulous instructions from Butler Cheng, he couldn’t help but glance at Qin Ran and think to himself: With regards to Miss Qin’s grades, could it be possible to pass the exam to Beijing University with such meticulous preparation of food?

  But he did not dare to talk more about the host’s affairs.

  And only secretly complained in his heart.

  Qin Ran’s mobile phone rang at this time. It was Lu Zhaoying’s call, asking her to play games.

  After thinking about it, she told Cheng Juan and went upstairs to play the game.

  “Why is Master Lu asking Miss Qin to play games at this time? Isn’t this hurting Miss Qin?” Butler Cheng looked at Cheng Mu with a serious expression and a worried tone.

  Cheng Mu: “.……” He looked at Butler Cheng very unpredictably, then turned to the flower room.

  “Xiao Shi,” Butler Cheng held a small notebook, “what happened to Cheng Mu recently?”


  Shi Liming stood up immediately and shook his head in a very respectful voice. “Mr. Cheng Mu is always very mysterious.”


  Butler Cheng: “.……?”


  **

  June 5th.

  Qin Ran made an appointment with Qiao Sheng and Lin Siran to see the examination room.

  Yun Cheng First Middle School was almost the same size as Heng Chuan First Middle School.

  There were three teaching buildings.

  Lin Siran and Qin Ran were in the same teaching building, and Qiao Sheng was in the last building.

  The three went to see the examination room together.

  All high schools and universities in Yun Cheng had been on vacation since yesterday. The examination rooms were posted today. They could visit the examination room on the 5th and 6th, to not delay the exam time if the candidates were not familiar with the route.

  It was noon now, and there were not too many people coming to see the examination room. The campus of Yun Cheng was wide, and groups of students walking together could be seen.

  “Sister Ran, shall we go to eat hot pot?” Qiao Sheng looked at the strong sunlight above his head and suggested secretly.

  Qin Ran fastened the cap on her head and pressed it down. She then said with a casual tone, “Up to you.”


  Not far away, a truck rushed over.

  Qin Ran did not pay attention at first.

  She did not slow down until the truck turned a bend and came towards the crowd. Her expression changed. Something was wrong!

  She reached out and pushed Qiao Sheng and Lin Siran away.

  “Ahh—”


  A group of students screamed behind them, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.

  Qin Ran did not move. She stretched out her hand and pushed away Lin Siran and Qiao Sheng and did not leave immediately.

  Not knowing whether the car was premeditated or out of control, Qin Ran pressed her lips together and tried to find a way to control it.

  However, when her gaze fell on a photo under the wheel, her eyes suddenly became blood-red.

  It happened very quickly!

  This uncontrolled truck would have knocked into the group of students, causing most of them to suffer casualties.

  But when everyone recovered, the car had stopped. No one knew how Qin Ran crawled out from under the tires. In the chaotic scene, no one could see her movements clearly.

  They only saw her holding a photo in her hand, and there was blood on her left hand and body.

  After Lin Siran was pushed away by Qin Ran, she was stunned for several seconds before reacting.

  “Ran Ran!” She rushed to Qin Ran to see Qin Ran’s injuries.

  Qin Ran had a lot of blood on her body, especially her left hand.

  Trembling all over, Lin Siran afraid to touch her. “Ran Ran, where are you hurt? You……”


  Qiao Sheng also ran over with a pale face, and while taking out his cell phone to make a call, he pulled Lin Siran away. “Sister Ran is hurt, don’t touch her!”


  At this time, the other students also reacted. Someone called the police and someone went to see the truck driver.

  Lin Siran only reacted now.

  She was so shocked that she had forgotten to cry and only stared at Qin Ran’s left hand. “Qiao…… Qiao Sheng……”


  Lin Siran’s words were already unclear. “Look at Ran Ran’s left hand, what do we do if something happens to her left hand?”


  Qin Ran was a dark horse in Heng Chuan First Middle School, and all the teachers and students were very optimistic about her.

  Many people even guessed that she would be the number one scorer this time……

  If her left hand was injured because of this……

  Lin Siran couldn’t even bear to think about what to do next.
