Chapter 32: One is heartless and the other is lungless, a perfect match
All the students in Shenghua are second-generation rich people from wealthy families. Although most of them have not inherited the family business, they all have their own small businesses. The teachers are already accustomed to students missing classes due to unexpected meetings.
The school is very lax in this regard. After all, Shenghua is meant to train heirs, and ultimately it is to enable students to have business capabilities. Naturally, it is impossible to restrict students' business practices. If you miss this class, then so be it. As long as you don't fail the course at the end of the semester, everything will be fine.
Lu Qingcheng, who had just arrived, naturally didn't understand and thought that it was Qin Mu's power that made the teacher let Meng Anran go.
It seems that if you want to pull Meng Anran down from the altar, you must first eliminate Qin Mu!
If you can't eradicate it, sowing discord is also a good method.
When Meng Anran returned to school, it was already the third class in the afternoon.
This class was equestrianism. She changed her clothes in the locker room and went to the stable to meet up with her classmates.
"Oh, you're finally back." Liu Zhi smiled slyly, hooked her arm around Meng Anran's shoulder and teased, "You were out with Brother Qin for most of the day, what were you busy with?"
Meng Anran glanced in Lu Qingcheng's direction and said meaningfully, "Let's talk about some important things in life."
They went to check the medical records of the hospital where she and Lu Qingcheng were born.
Aren’t matters concerning blood relationship and identity a major matter in life?
Liu Zhi didn't understand what he meant and asked in surprise, "You two are dating? He confessed his feelings to you? Have you finally confirmed your relationship?"
"What's there to confess?" Meng Anran glanced over with amusement, walked to the stable and led out her chestnut horse, "He and I should be considered... close friends."
Liu Zhi snorted, "What kind of confidant are you? Everyone knows that you two have secretly decided to spend your lives together."
"Go!" Meng Anran glared at her and said unhappily, "You and Ming Jing are the destined couple. Go find your fiancé and stop teasing me."
Liu Zhi curled her lips. "What a bullshit fate! I like your brother's type. What era is still talking about child marriages? Ming Jingchun and I are brothers. If we really get married in the future, I'm afraid we'll be digging our toes into the ground with embarrassment just looking at each other's faces every day."
Meng Anran was speechless and amused. "You're just obsessed with looks. My brother has a gentle personality. If we were really together, you would definitely find him boring. Ming Jing is suitable for you. One is heartless and the other is lungless. They are a perfect match."
"Who are you calling heartless?" Liu Zhi was dissatisfied and stretched out her hand to tickle Meng Anran's waist, making the latter laugh and beg for mercy.
"Wrong, wrong." Meng Anran dodged Liu Zhi's attack and saw Ming Jing from the corner of her eye. She quickly asked for help: "Ming Jing, come and take care of your fiancée."
Liu Zhi's ears turned red, and she stopped immediately, angrily saying, "Meng Anran! Stop talking nonsense!"
Mingjing's ears also turned red, and he lowered his head and touched his nose.
Well, even though the engagement between the Ming and Liu families was no secret, it was still a bit embarrassing to hear Meng Anran say it so loudly in public.
"ah--"
A heart-wrenching scream broke the awkward atmosphere. Everyone looked over and saw Lu Qingcheng sitting on the horse, pulling the reins and being dragged around by the horse. She was so scared that her face turned pale and her features were distorted. The equestrian teacher was riding a horse behind her, looking for an opportunity to save her at any time.
"Student Lu, don't pull the reins too tightly! Relax your body!" The teacher shouted while chasing, trying to teach Lu Qingcheng to control the horse by herself.
However, all that echoed in her ears was Lu Qingcheng's screams. She couldn't relax at all. She was so nervous that her palms were sweating and her heart was about to jump out of her throat.
The teacher was ashamed. He had never seen such a stupid student.
Liu Zhi was stunned, her lips curled up speechlessly, "Two equestrian lessons a week, how did Lu Qingcheng manage to embarrass herself in every one of them?"
Ming Jing shook his head and sighed, "How did she manage to pass Shenghua's entrance exam? An Ran, aren't you going to help? If she gets thrown off, I'm afraid her arm will be dislocated."
Meng Anran shrugged, as if it had nothing to do with her. "Didn't the teacher go to save him? What does it have to do with me?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the teacher's voice coming from afar: "Student Meng Anran, come and help!"
“…”
Liuzhi and Mingjing laughed with glee. Meng Anran sighed resignedly, jumped on his horse and chased after him.
It seems that sometimes having too good grades is not a good thing.
Five minutes later, Meng Anran brought Lu Qingcheng to her side and brought her safely to the sidelines. The teacher also found the right opportunity to jump onto the out-of-control horse and control the wild and ferocious animal.
Lu Qingcheng fainted and was taken away by the school doctor.
Meng Anran touched the foal she had raised since childhood, as if to praise it for doing a good job.
Liu Zhi came over and patted her shoulder, "Thank you for being so kind and saving that little green tea girl Lu Qingcheng."
Ming Jing snorted lightly and said nonchalantly, "Sister Ran has no heart. She is just like a person drifting in the world, with no control over her own affairs."
Meng Anran feigned displeasure and glared at the two of them, "You two are singing the same tune, calling me inhumane?"
"How could that be? You're overthinking it." Liu Zhi smiled awkwardly and was extremely hypocritical.
Ming Jing said calmly, "Who allowed you to take first place in the equestrian exam last year and show off your skills on the field? Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked for your help today."
Meng Anran felt annoyed when she talked about this. She pursed her lips and said, "There's nothing I can do. My opponent is too strong. If I don't use my trump card, I might not be the first place. I might not even be able to stay in Shenghua to study now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhi and Ming Jing stopped joking and looked more serious.
There is indeed a powerful person in the grade, Duan Jingyao from Class 3, Meng Anran's strongest competitor in the school. Their grades are similar, and Meng Anran always wins by a narrow margin of three or four points in every exam.
In the equestrian exam last semester, Duan Jingyao scored an astonishing 96 points. If Meng Anran had not seen the situation was not right and temporarily added a difficult move to surpass him by two points, and finally won the final score by only one point, this year's comprehensive assessment excellence award might not have belonged to Meng Anran.
"Duan Jingyao is handsome and very popular in his grade, but I always feel that he is a little sinister." Liu Zhi shuddered when she recalled Duan Jingyao's smile.
It wasn't the kind of expression that was clearly sinister. He was clearly smiling like a spring breeze, but his eyes made people feel weird. I always felt that he was hiding some bad intentions, which made people feel cold in their hearts.
Especially the look in his eyes when he looked at Meng Anran. He had a smile on his face, but his eyes were poisonous yet hidden very deeply. The hostility was so vague that it made it difficult to understand what he was thinking.
Ming Jing nodded in agreement. He had dealt with Duan Jingyao twice and found that this man was like a smiling tiger. His conversation was flawless, but he exuded a coldness from the inside out.
Meng Anran seemed to be lost in thought. She had never met Duan Jingyao, and their competition was only based on the ranking list. She had never inquired about this man's background.
It seems that no one in Beijing's upper class circles has ever heard of the Duan family.
