Chapter 215 Love is Equal
Qin Mu made tea and put some scones that Conai brought over on a ceramic plate as a snack.
The three of them sat on the sofa in the living room.
Kenai took a sip of the black tea. The water temperature was just right, and the brewed black tea was sweet and fragrant, without a trace of bitterness. "I didn't expect Young Master Qin to be able to make tea."
"There's nothing I can do. Who made me have a picky young lady?" Qin Mu pinched An Xiaoran's face lovingly, not shying away from it even in front of outsiders.
Meng Anran slapped his hand away in annoyance, "Let's talk about business!"
Kenai quietly watched the two of them interacting intimately, a slight smile on his lips. He took a sip of his tea and said lightly, "Love is when we are evenly matched, yet I'm willing to bow down to you. This sentence probably describes your situation."
Meng Anran and Qin Mu smiled at each other. She turned her gaze back to Ke Nai and returned to the topic: "You just said that your parents used to work at Tongli Hospital, and I was born in Tongli Hospital."
Hearing this, Kenai's hand trembled violently, and the tea rippled, nearly spilling onto his shirt sleeve. He set down the teacup, wiped his hands with a tissue, and perhaps understood Meng Anran's suspicions: "Do you think that the medical dispute was related to your transfer back then?"
"Right." Meng Anran has always trusted her intuition. "Duan Xi deliberately exchanged the Lu family's child in order to avenge the Lu family. But Duan Xi was caught, and the matter is not over yet."
She turned her head to look at Qin Mu and asked, "Do you still remember the boy Mao Xiabin who bullied me in kindergarten?"
"Remember, that's why you went to practice Taekwondo and Lu Yi broke your ribs."
"He came to block me at the entrance of the group this morning. The person behind him was Su Sheng, Lu Heng's spy planted next to Lu Yi."
Qin Mu frowned. No matter whether Su Sheng was following Lu Heng's orders or was instigated by Lu Yi, given Lu Heng and Lu Yi's methods and their relationship with Meng Anran, they would not play such a childish trick.
And it is impossible for Su Sheng himself to have any conflict with Meng Anran.
Therefore, there are other employers behind Su Sheng.
"I now suspect that Su Sheng's employer is Bai Yujin." Meng Anran said this with more certainty than suspicion. "After the Lu family went bankrupt, Bai Yujin disappeared. Now she's suddenly reappeared, and her target is clearly me. So, everything that happened this morning makes sense."
Ke Nai didn't know Bai Yujin, but judging from Meng Anran's words, she must be the biological mother of Lu Heng and Lu Yi. "What does this have to do with the child exchange?"
Meng Anran picked up the teacup, drank the cold tea, and smiled lightly, "Yeah, what does the Lu family's bankruptcy have to do with me?"
The answer is irrelevant to the question, but the nature of the two questions is the same.
There was no direct grudge between her and Bai Yujin, and the Lu family's bankruptcy was not her fault, but Bai Yujin wanted to destroy everything she had.
Who can be sure that the child exchange and medical disputes had nothing to do with white turmeric?
Kenai pushed his glasses up his nose and said thoughtfully, "From the perspective of criminal psychology, not all actions are motivated. Indiscriminate attacks are quite common. These criminals are usually provoked and want to take revenge on society."
However, Bai Yujin's attack was directed at Meng Anran, which basically ruled out the possibility of an indiscriminate attack.
"Besides indiscriminate attacks?" Meng Anran cast a look at Kenai, as if he had some bold guesses.
Kenai pursed his lips and thought for a second, then quickly understood the meaning of her eyes: "Humanity."
Although he had no experience in psychology, Qin Mu quickly understood their thoughts: "You mean, Bai Yujin's actions aren't necessarily revengeful, but could be motivated by her own emotions?"
"Yes." The steam from the hot tea covered Kenai's glasses. He took off his glasses, took a sip of tea, and said calmly, "There are many cases of people committing crimes out of jealousy."
"But we currently have no way of determining why Bai Yujin is targeting me. We can only deal with the commendation ceremony next week."
Meng Anran turned her gaze towards Kenai, a meaningful smile on her red lips, and a cunning look in her eyes, indicating that some conspiracy had formed in her mind.
"Doctor Ke, I'm counting on you."
Kenai slowly looked away, clearly not wanting to cooperate with Meng Anran. "I'm a person of professional ethics. I won't falsify a psychological assessment report."
"No, you're overthinking it."
Meng Anran picked up a scone, brought it to her mouth and took a bite.
The sugar-free scones gradually exude a sweetness unique to whole grains as you chew them.
She met Kenai's puzzled look and smiled. "You need to conduct a comprehensive psychological evaluation on me and produce a truthful, complete, and impeccable report."

That night, Su Wanman and Meng Rong also had trouble falling asleep.
Su Wanman tossed and turned in bed, unable to sleep. Her heart was in a mess and she was plagued by anxiety.
Mengrong lay flat on the bed with his hands behind his head. In the darkness, he stared at the ceiling in the moonlight filtering through the curtains.
The couple were undoubtedly worried about their little daughter's condition.
"Hubby, Bai Yujin raised An Ran for seventeen years. Even if she has no feelings for her, she shouldn't harbor any resentment. Why...why would she want to kill An Ran?"
Su Wanman couldn't understand why Bai Yujin didn't stop An Ran from leaving the Lu family. Since there was no conflict, where did the hatred come from?
Meng Rong sighed heavily, "I don't know either. We rarely interact with the Lu family. We only know that Lu Heng and Lu Yi are mentally unstable. As for Lu Zhong and Bai Yujin... we know very little."
"I don't think Bai Yujin has any mental problems."
Su Wanman recalled the few times she had met Bai Yujin from afar at banquets before, and Bai Yujin had always behaved in a dignified and generous manner.
In addition, An Ran never mentioned Bai Yujin's strange behavior, which was enough to prove that Bai Yujin had normal thinking and had little interaction with An Ran.
Then why make An Ran's mental illness known to everyone and ruin her life?
"Did Anran reply you?" Meng Rong turned his head to look at his wife beside him. He could barely see her outline in the darkness.
"When she came back, she told me not to worry too much and that she would take care of it." Su Wanman sighed again, "Every time something happened, she always said the same thing. She always told us not to worry and that she would handle everything herself. I am such a useless mother. I can't even protect my own child..."
When she said the last sentence, Su Wanman's voice began to tremble and became a little tearful.
After sobbing, she continued, "If I had known that her return would cause so much trouble for our family, I would have let her live on her own outside."
"Hey!" Meng Rong scolded him sternly, but he gently wiped away his wife's tears. "What nonsense are you talking about? We are a family. No matter what happens, we will firmly support her."
If Bai Yujin really wanted to harm An Ran, he would rather risk his life than let his daughter get hurt!
