When the servant came to tell them the news, Qin Xiuchen, Qin Ling, and the rest couldn’t help but go out to greet them.

  Qin Hanqiu was in the kitchen and didn’t go out with them.

  Cheng Juan and Qin Ran respectfully greeted Qin Xiuchen before they went in together.

  In the house, Cheng Juan paused when he saw Kenneth. He immediately remembered what Cheng Wenru asked him a few days ago. “Why are you here?”


  “Uncle Qin invited me for a meal.” Kenneth wasn’t as casual when he saw Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, and he started to talk about the problems with the base. “Just now, Butler Qin introduced a few new addresses to me……”


  Seeing them gave Qin Ran a headache, so she let Cheng Juan settle it.

  She went to watch Qin Hanqiu cook but was chased out.

  Qin Xiuchen and Qin Ling were almost always by her side.

  “The Lin family.” Qin Xiuchen stood beside Qin Ran and asked, “Your mother’s side…… Do you have any thoughts?”


  Qin Xiuchen had never had a good impression of Ning Qing.

  In the past in Yun Cheng, Ning Qing broke off all relations with Qin Ran and Qin Hanqiu.

  Later in the capital, Qin Ran got into trouble several times, and Qin Xiuchen observed Ning Qing’s actions.

  Qin Ling’s injury had nothing to do with Qin Yu. Qin Ran sent Qin Zhao to prison, and as for Qin Yu, she stood by Fourth Master Qin from the start to the end.

  Even Qin Hanqiu, who had hope for Qin Yu, turned cold.

  When Qin Ran got married, no one notified Ning Qing and the Lin family.

  “I have no thoughts.” Qin Ran leaned on the door frame and responded.

  Qin Xiuchen glanced at her and nodded. “By the way, Yan Xi has joined a variety show that has very high ratings nationally. You can talk to him about it. He doesn’t have to deliberately join variety shows. He can rest assured and continue writing songs in my studio.”


  “It’s okay.” Qin Ran crossed her arms. She was dressed casually today in a long T-shirt. “Let him do it. He’ll feel uncomfortable if he doesn’t.”


  Qin Xiuchen didn’t quite understand her.

  With Yan Xi’s reputation and financial resources, even if he left Star Entertainment, he was fully capable of opening his own studio. There was no need for him to sign under his name and help him make money.

  After hearing what Qin Ran said, Qin Xiuchen knew that there must be some sort of arrangement between the two.

  He didn’t ask any questions after thinking about it. He had already given 10% of the equity to Qin Ran as dowry.

  Qin Xiuchen’s studio had also signed on several potential actors, and the studio earned quite a lot in a year.

  “Little niece.” After Qin Xiuchen finished asking his questions, his manager came over mysteriously. “Your 100 million fans want you to come back. Will you be participating in Yan Xi’s live-stream?”


  “No.” Qin Ran shook her head.

  “Ok.” The manager was faintly disappointed.

  During the meal, Qin Hanqiu asked Cheng Juan and Xiao Ken to drink with him. The three of them drank for more than two hours.

  Today, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan couldn’t stay at the Qin family’s house.

  In the evening, the Qin family reluctantly stood at the entrance and sent Qin Ran off.

  “I’ll take Xiao Ling back to Continent F in two days.” Tang Jun was calm since Kenneth was Cheng Juan’s friend. He looked at Qin Ran. “When are you going to……”


  At this point, Tang Jun paused. He looked at Cheng Juan with a complicated expression.

  She had been dating Cheng Juan for years. Who knew that his niece was so impressive. Not only did she win over Cheng Juan, but he also became Cheng Juan’s Grand Uncle.

  Tang Jun came back to his senses and smiled. “Visit our place with Xiao Cheng.”


  “Okay.” Qin Ran nodded.

  Cheng Juan took her back.

  Later, Elder Li said to Tang Jun rather pitifully, “Miss Qiao is a consultant in the Qin family. If this weren’t the case, she could compete with Black Eagle for the control of the Hacker Alliance.”


  “Even if she comes, she might not be successful…… Let’s leave it to fate.” Tang Jun wasn’t so insistent……

  Qin Ran and Cheng Juan didn’t go to the villa but to the Cheng family house.

  Inside the Cheng family house.

  A group of elders and the Hall Masters were having a solemn conference.

  “Eldest Lady, when did you tell Third Young Master and the rest?” First Hall Master was having a difficult time.

  Cheng Wenru asked, “You haven’t discussed it yet?”


  “Kenneth, Giant Crocodile, and the others, especially the two terrorists, are going to settle in the capital.” Second Hall Master was also worried. “I’m sure you know that if they choose to settle in the capital, it will become a very chaotic area.”


  Kenneth was enough. Now, there was also Giant Crocodile.

  There were many ignorant people in the capital. If someone accidentally offended the two of them, they wouldn’t be kind, and they might wreak havoc if they chose to take action.

  Recently, the Cheng family’s Hall Masters were in a frenzy as they were worried about hearing bad news when they woke up.

  They were having a troubling time.

  Cheng Wenru didn’t expect the matter to become so serious.

  Just as she was about to say something, a servant said excitedly, “Third Young Master is back!”


  Cheng Wenru was startled and quickly stood up. “Third Bro? Didn’t they return to the Qin family today?”


  Although she said that, Cheng Wenru reacted quickly and went to the living room with the Hall Masters.

  In the living room, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan had already paid their respect to Old Master Cheng.

  Qin Ran pursed her lips after placing her incense at the altar.

  Cheng Juan was already done and stood at the side to wait for her.

  “Why are you two back today?” Cheng Wenru was a little surprised. “Prepare Third Young Master’s room. Have you two eaten dinner?”


  Cheng Wenru felt that they wouldn’t have missed dinner since they came back from the Qin family’s house.

  “We already ate. The reason we came back was to tell you about Kenneth. I’ve already handed the matter to Cheng Tu.” Cheng Juan put down his teacup.

  Cheng Wenru glanced at him and nodded. “We were also discussing when your friends would be leaving. It’s even better since you’ve already handled this matter. The First Hall Master won’t have a headache then.”


  “Are you going to stay here for the night?” Since Cheng Juan had handled it, Cheng Wenru stopped caring about those two people and asked Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.

  Cheng Juan was fine with it. He saw that Qin Ran wasn’t surprised and nodded.

  It was the first time Qin Ran and Cheng Juan stayed in the Cheng family ever since it was revealed that Cheng Juan wasn’t part of the family.

  Cheng Wenru was overjoyed. Cheng Juan’s room had always been reserved for him, and Cheng Wenru instructed the servants to clean it as usual.

  “Ran Ran, the room that you stayed in last time is also there. Dad later specially redecorated it. Do you want to take a look?” Cheng Wenru held Qin Ran’s hand emotionally. If Old Master Cheng was still here……

  Qin Ran went to look at the room, but Cheng Juan didn’t go with her.

  He only put a hand in his pocket and glanced at Cheng Wenru. “No, you……”


  “What’s wrong?” Cheng Wenru was confused.

  “Of course she’s going to stay with me. Why are you showing her another room?” Cheng Juan said casually.

  Cheng Wenru was speechless.

  Since when did Cheng Juan learn to be so shameless?……

  Two months later.

  The capital was turbulent.

  The Lin and Shen families were unable to survive, but fortunately, Lin Jinxuan was able to stand alone.

  The Lin family wasn’t notified of Qin Ran’s marriage, and it wasn’t announced on the Internet.

  Leaked photos and videos of the wedding, especially those with Qin Ran’s face, disappeared from the Internet overnight.

  “Sister, are your legs better?” Ning Qing later learned that Ning Wei arrived at the capital.

  Mu Nan rented a house near his school. It had two bedrooms, one living room, and was 68 square feet. It was quite small to Ning Qing.

  Ning Wei was silent as always as she turned off the fire in the kitchen. “Yes.”


  “That’s good.” Ning Qing didn’t want to say too much to her. After some time, she finally said, “About Mu Nan’s father……”


  “Mu Nan’s father is in the hospital,” Ning Wei said rather nonchalantly.

  Ning Qing glanced at the 68-square-feet house and raised her eyebrows. “Forget it, I won’t talk to you about this. Do you know where Ran Ran is now? I heard…… that she’s married.”


  “I don’t know.” Ning Wei wiped the table with a cloth.

  Ning Qing looked at her and swallowed her words. After a long while, she didn’t say anything and left. “I can’t do much about you.”


  After Ning Qing left, Ning Wei put down the cloth and stood by the window silently.

  At the same time, in school.

  Mu Nan emerged from the crowd wearing a white school uniform.

  He was one of the top-performing students in the school, and almost everyone in the school knew him.

  He searched the crowd.

  Soon, he saw an impatient woman leaning on a tree.

  Mu Nan’s eyes lit up. He quickly walked over. “The teacher delayed the class.”


  Seeing him, Qin Ran pulled down her baseball cap and stood up straight. “It’s okay. Let’s go. Big Brother Song is waiting for us.”


  She gestured to him, and Mu Nan followed behind her.

  The two of them had just walked a few steps before they were stopped by a few men in black. Behind them was an old man. He glanced past Qin Ran and finally laid his eyes on Mu Nan. He sized him up before asking lightly, “Are you Mu Nan?”
