Chapter 111: Ran Ran’s Power

Ning Qing had thought that Qin Ran would definitely go after she had explained it so clearly.

She suspected that she had heard wrongly and slowly looked up at Qin Ran. “What are you saying?”

Qin Ran moved her chair back, finished eating her apple, and threw the toothpick casually into the trash can. She repeated herself. “I won’t go.”

Mu Ying heard Qin Ran’s answer and raised her head in surprise. She didn’t expect anyone to reject this kind of offer.

She couldn’t help but glance at Qin Ran and say, “Cousin, you should think clearly.”

“There won’t be another opportunity after missing out on this. The Feng family is in Beijing, how could you not go?” Ning Qing was anxious and couldn’t help but raise her voice. “Where can you find a better place in the future?”

“Mom, persuade her!” Ning Qing knew that Qin Ran wouldn’t listen to her and turned to Chen Shulan.

Qin Ran ignored Ning Qing and stood up. She looked at Chen Shulan and said, “Grandma, I’ll go back to school first.”

Chen Shulan gently said, “Okay, be careful on the way.”

Qin Ran picked up her cap and put it on her head before lazily opening the door and walking out.

Ning Qing didn’t dare to chase her.

She just looked at Chen Shulan incredulously. “Mom, why didn’t you persuade her and just let her leave?”

Qin Ran only listened to Chen Shulan. If Chen Shulan told her to go, she would definitely go.

“She doesn’t want to go,” Chen Shulan said lightly.

“It’s not a question of whether she wants to go. Do you know what kind of opportunity she just gave up?” Ning Qing pursed her lips. “Even if she can get into a university, she might not be able to enter such a big business in the future.”

She knew that Chen Shulan doted on Qin Ran very much, and she thought that Qin Ran behaved like this partly because of Chen Shulan’s indulgence.

But she didn’t expect Chen Shulan to dote on her this much.

Chen Shulan coughed lowly and was in low spirits. She felt exhausted and didn’t have the strength to speak, so she simply said calmly, “Don’t make a fuss, it’s not the first time it happened.”

The teacher from Beijing had also come forward three times and had still failed to persuade Qin Ran to go to Beijing to study the violin.

Her voice was low, but Ning Qing heard it clearly.

She suppressed her anger and said, “Mom, what do you mean, make a fuss…”

Ning Wei saw that the two of them were going to quarrel over Qin Ran and immediately pulled Ning Qing away. “Okay, sister, let it go.”

She took Ning Qing’s bag and pushed her out of the ward.

Once Ning Qing was gone, Mu Ying stood beside Ning Wei and asked, “Mom, why do you think cousin doesn’t want to go? It’s such a good opportunity…”

If it had been given to her, she wouldn’t have missed this opportunity to climb up.

Mu Nan glanced at her and said in a cold voice, “Why do you care so much?”

Then, he went directly to the elevator without waiting for Mu Ying’s reply.

Ning Qing returned home.

Many people had come to see Qin Yu because she was going to Lin Wan’s place in Beijing and paying an apprenticeship to her master.

By the time they left, it was already evening.

“You went to the hospital, right? Did you see Ran Ran?” Lin Qi looked at Ning Qing.

Old Master Lin was also concerned about this matter, so Lin Qi just asked casually.

Lin Jinxuan put down his chopsticks and looked at Ning Qing.

Qin Yu sat on the side and raised her head after hearing this. She clenched the chopsticks in her hands tightly, barely suppressing her inner jealousy.

Qin Yu felt a sense of crisis at the Lin family and Ning Qing’s recent attitude.

Ning Qing was sullen at the mention of this. She shook her head and said in a tired voice, “I told her, but Ran Ran didn’t agree.”

Lin Qi paused and looked at Ning Qing. “She disagreed? Why? Is there no way for redemption?”

“I don’t know, but I’m aware of her character.” Ning Qing put down her chopsticks. “If she’s adamant about it, she definitely won’t go. My mother doesn’t want to persuade her either.”

Qin Yu had been extremely vexed, but she suddenly felt much better after hearing this.

She lowered her head to eat and couldn’t conceal the smile on her face.

It was fine long as Qin Ran didn’t go to the Feng family.

Lin Qi also had to report to Old Master Lin, so, after dinner, he took his phone to the study.

“Her grandma is from the countryside, after all.” Old Master Lin was also surprised. He pondered for a while and implied that Chen Shulan was short-sighted.

“You can go and persuade her,” Old Master Lin said after a pause. “You can recognize Qin Ran.”

Lin Qi didn’t speak immediately.

Last time, he had very obviously chosen Qin Yu’s side. He hadn’t told anyone about this matter, so neither Old Master Lin nor Lin Jinxuan knew about it.

With Qin Ran’s temperament, she wouldn’t come to the Lin family.

Lin Qi sighed and still didn’t tell Old Master Lin the details. “Dad, I have my plans.”

It was Monday again.

It was exam week and the atmosphere in school was even more tense and serious than usual. All the teachers were also more strict.

After class, some students in class 3.9 also started to review their materials seriously.

After the last class, Lin Siran handed Qin Ran a note.

Qin Ran was still reading the German poem that Cheng Mu had ridiculed. She took the note and saw that it was Qiao Sheng’s handwriting: [Shall we eat at the cafeteria at noon?]

She thought for a while and picked up her pen subconsciously with her right hand. She lowered her head and was about to write when she realized something was wrong and quickly changed to her left hand. She wrote “OK”.

After class, Qiao Sheng stood at the back door and waited to eat with Qin Ran.

In the school cafeteria, they met Wei Zihang, who had his hands in his pocket and was standing isolated.

Qiao Sheng was more familiar with him and was quite friendly as he knew that Wei Zihang knew Qin Ran. All of his previous enmity had disappeared. “Wei Zihang, sit with us.”

Wei Zihang was still in his sweatshirt. He looked at Qiao Sheng and smirked. “Ok.”

He was quite concise.

Qiao Sheng raised an eyebrow. In the past, he would definitely have fought with Wei Zihang, but since he was Qin Ran’s friend, he endured it instead.

They sat together and ate a good meal.

The four very well-known bosses in First Middle School sitting together caused a huge sensation in the cafeteria.

Qiao Sheng often played in the basketball court and the students could see him often, but they rarely saw the other three people except on the forum.

Xu Yaoguang rarely ate in the cafeteria and could only be seen at the school dormitory students’ meeting. He used to watch Qin Yu play the violin, but she was on leave, so the students had fewer opportunities to see him.

It was especially so for Wei Zihang. He took two consecutive long leaves after coming to First Middle School, and even after he came back, he was out of school often since he was a sports student and was rarely seen.

As for Qin Ran, she was either at the school doctor’s office or at the milk tea shop. She usually left class later than others, and due to her title as the Campus Belle, many people went to class 3.9 to see her. But even when they went there, all they saw was a pile of books. She always hid her face behind the books and her face could hardly be seen.

All the students were looking over.

The four of them were obviously accustomed to such gazes and were quite calm.

However, Lin Siran sitting next to Qin Ran was trembling with her head buried.

The canteen was quite noisy. Wei Zihang put his bowl on the table and sat down, then glanced subconsciously at Qin Ran.

Qin Ran lowered her face and picked up her chopsticks. Her expression was quite calm and didn’t have the usual irritable look.

Wei Zihang raised an eyebrow slightly.

He didn’t expect this.

“I thought you didn’t eat at the cafeteria.” He picked up his chopsticks and chuckled lowly.

Qin Ran nodded. “It’s not that bad recently.”

“How’s your hand?” He glanced at her right hand.

Qin Ran held her chopsticks in her left hand, so she opened her right palm to show him. There was only a pale pink trace left on her palm.

“It’s healing quite quickly.” Wei Zihang sighed in relief. “It probably won’t leave a scar.”

He leaned closer to her ear and asked something in a low voice.

Qin Ran shook her head, but before she could speak, Qiao Sheng knocked on the table with his chopsticks and asked, “What are the two of you talking so secretly about?”

Wei Zihang looked up at him but didn’t reply.

Qiao Sheng snorted and took a bite of his potato chips. He picked up his Coke and lifted it towards Wei Zihang. “Wei Zihang, shall we let bygones be bygones?”

He was talking about when they had fought because Wei Zihang had said that Qin Yu didn’t play the violin well.

Wei Zihang paused for two seconds before raising his bottle of mineral water symbolically.

Qiao Sheng didn’t hold grudges.

After taking two bites, he asked Wei Zihang, “Hey, why did you go against Qin Yu last time? Were you helping your Sister Ran take revenge?”

“No, I didn’t know her at that time,” Wei Zihang replied.

“Then why did you suddenly say that Qin Yu didn’t play the violin well?” Qiao Sheng put his hand on the table and wondered.

Regardless of Qin Yu’s character, she did play the violin well.

Xu Yaoguang, who had been eating silently, heard this and also raised his eyes slightly.

Wei Zihang glanced at him. “I wasn’t lying. She doesn’t play well at all. I’ve heard someone play a hundred times better than her.”

Who knew that Qiao Sheng would want to hit him for speaking the truth.

Qiao Sheng was silent for a moment, thinking that Wei Zihang was just being perfunctory, so he said sarcastically, “Then you must have heard some fairy playing the violin.”

Only Xu Yaoguang looked up and glanced at Wei Zihang.

On Tuesday, the weather was overcast and it was raining lightly.

Ning Qing was putting on nail polish when she suddenly received a notice from the hospital.

“What? What happened to my mom?” Ning Qing’s nail polish was knocked over. She called her chauffeur in a panic and drove to the hospital.

Lin Qi heard about Chen Shulan’s situation through Aunt Zhang and, because he couldn’t leave, for the time being, he told Lin Jinxuan to take the lead first.

When Ning Qing arrived at the hospital, there were many doctors outside Chen Shulan’s ward.

Lin Jinxuan was talking to Chen Shulan’s attending doctor.

“You know that Ms. Chen has been using the medicine CNS that is still experimental and isn’t used in the market.” The attending doctor explained to Lin Jinxuan, “But since yesterday, our hospital has run out of CNS sources. We discussed alternatives to Ms. Chen’s medicine, but her body had been irradiated too much before and most of the drugs won’t have much effect on her. She won’t be able to use CNS for a long time either…”

“Then… what can we do?” Ning Qing stood beside Lin Jinxuan and panicked.

“Is Ms. Qin not here yet?” The attending doctor couldn’t see Qin Ran and couldn’t help but ask.

Ning Qing was confused for a moment. “Who?”

“Ms. Qin Ran.” The attending doctor remembered her.

“She’s still in school. It’s useless to find her in this situation, and it’ll only distract her.” Ning Qing was a little confused, but she still shook her head. “It’s useless even if you let her come.”

Lin Jinxuan had stepped aside to call his college classmate.

The medicine CNS was owned by laboratories in Beijing and was rarely sold outside.

It wasn’t uncommon for people in Beijing to have it.

The attending doctor didn’t speak. He thought about it and still went to the office to call Qin Ran.

Lin Jinxuan had strong connections.

He took the lead to find someone who could obtain the medicine, but because of the numerous procedures, it would take three days for him to receive it.

The attending doctor came back after the phone call and finally told them the result. “I’ve told you before that Ms. Chen had been irradiated in many ways. She had been on the edge of organ failure but had held on due to the medicine. Yesterday, there was no more of the medicine, so if we can’t find it by tonight…”

He didn’t go on, but his meaning was obvious.

Chen Shulan was sent to the emergency monitoring room.

Ning Qing sat on a stool outside the room and hung her head blankly.

Ning Wei quickly put away her things at hand and quickly came to see Ning Qing sitting in a daze outside.

“Sister.” Ning Wei’s throat was tight and she choked. “What happened to Mom?”

Ning Qing didn’t speak and just glanced at her blankly.

Lin Jinxuan was waiting for Lin Qi to come over and was still in the corridor.

He saw Ning Qing and Ning Wei’s reactions and couldn’t help but sigh. He found the attending doctor and said, “Is it possible to delay it for three days? I found a friend who can get the medicine CNS in three days.”

The attending doctor shook his head. “Her body is already strongly resistant to drugs and no alternative medicine can be used.”

Lin Jinxuan still wanted to say something.

At this time, he looked towards the elevator subconsciously.

A thin figure walked over with the hair on the front of her forehead wet and resting on her brow bone.

She had obviously been in a hurry and hadn’t brought along an umbrella, so her clothes were drenched.

She walked to the attending doctor and wiped her face with her hands. “What else do you lack?”
