At the end of August, the sun was high in the sky and the town was sweltering with heat.
A girl was leaning lazily against the slightly shabby door on the second floor of the town's central hospital. She was wearing a simple black and white plaid shirt, and when she lowered her head, her collar was tilted a little.
The two sleeves were rolled up in a very unruly manner.
Below was a pair of low-waisted jeans, which were a bit old. Because of her movements, a section of her slender and delicate waist was revealed.
The appearance is very eye-catching.
When the nurse saw a man passing by the girl for the third time, she handed the girl a lollipop and pointed to the ward, "Ran Ran, are your parents here?"
Qin Ran slowly tore off the candy coating, her long eyelashes drooping slightly. When she took a bite, she half-closed her eyes and said in a bad mood, "Isn't it?"
The nurse sighed, "I can't tell."
After saying this, he hurried away with the medical records.
Inside the ward were Qin Ran’s biological parents, Ning Qing and Qin Hanqiu.
...
...
The two had divorced more than ten years ago, and Qin Ran had been living with her grandmother. Half a month ago, her grandmother fell ill and needed to be transferred to another hospital, so Ning Qing and Qin Hanqiu returned.
Qin Ran leaned against the wall, with one leg slightly bent, and listened expressionlessly to the sound of the two people arguing in the ward.
Even through the door, one could tell that Ning Qing's voice was cold and indifferent. "Qin Hanqiu, the car is downstairs. I'll take my mom to the city hospital. Ranran will go with you."
“Why would Ranran follow me?” Qin Hanqiu sneered, not being polite at all. “Didn’t you marry a rich man? How can you not afford to raise a daughter even though he’s so rich?”
"I've already brought Yu'er into the Lin family, and you want me to bring another burden?" Ning Qing glanced at him impatiently, "My mother has helped you raise your daughter for more than ten years, and now she's sick and there's no way to take care of her. If you don't take her away, do you want me to take her back to the Lin family?"
Speaking of this, Qin Hanqiu's resentment became more obvious. "At that time, I clearly wanted to raise Yu'er, but you insisted on snatching it from me. Now you want me to take care of Ranran. Okay, then give Yu'er to me too."
They have two daughters, Qin Ran and Qin Yu, who are only one year apart in age, but are completely different in every way.
When the two divorced, they had a huge fight over the custody of Qin Yu. In the end, Qin Yu wanted to live with her mother, and the lawsuit was finally over.
At that time, no one wanted Qin Ran, and the two of them pushed each other away, and in the end, no one cared.
Grandma Chen Shulan looked pitiful, having raised Qin Ran alone for twelve years.
In the ward, Ning Qing looked at Qin Hanqiu's mocking face and held her breath.
Qin Hanqiu was abducted to their town when he was a child, a poor boy. Ning Qing fell in love with him because of his good looks. After a few years of marriage, they couldn't stand each other's temper and simply divorced.
After the divorce, Ning Qing took Qin Yu and married a wealthy man in Yuncheng, where they thrived like a fish in water.
Qin Hanqiu also got married quickly and had a son with his current wife. His life is prosperous.
Both of them forgot that they had an older daughter.
At the moment, they treated Qin Ran as an object, passing the buck to each other, as if they didn't know that their eldest daughter was listening to their conversation outside the door.
Qin Hanqiu was barefoot and not afraid of those who wore shoes. Ning Qing was afraid that he would really go to the Lin family to make trouble, which would only make her more embarrassed. She could only swallow her bitter water and reluctantly take Qin Ran back to Yuncheng.
“Ranran, don’t blame Dad.” Qin Hanqiu threw away the bag and felt relieved. When he saw Qin Ran after leaving the ward, he paused and said, “The Lin family is rich. If you go with your mom, they will definitely find a good school for you to study in the third year of high school.”
Qin Hanqiu now has a son to raise, which is a heavy burden. He hasn't bought a house in the city yet, so he has to plan for the future. His current wife had already informed him before he came.
He could only feel sorry for Qin Ran.
Since he came here, he had never thought of taking Qin Ran back.
Qin Ran leaned back. There was no air conditioning in the corridor of the hospital, and the hot and humid air almost froze. She half lowered her head and her fingers circled the second white jade button on her collar.
The fingers are slender, without any impurities, like solidified jade, wrapped in coldness.
There was a hint of impatience that said "don't mess with me" between her incredibly beautiful eyes.
He ignored Qin Hanqiu and unbuttoned the button in annoyance. Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and looked towards the window facing him in the corridor, with a cold light in his eyes.
A few meters away from the window is an office.
Opposite office.
The young man sitting on the chair was wearing an ascetic white coat. He had a handsome face and a nice figure.
The new director of the health center is Jiang Dongye.
Jiang Dongye glanced at the high-end sofa opposite that did not match the clinic.
There was a person lying on the sofa, holding a cigarette between his fingertips, which were long and clear, with thin thin layers of light smoke rising. His arms were casually folded, and his eyes seemed to be fixed for half a minute.
Jiang Dongye followed the other person's gaze and looked outside, "What are you looking at?"
The man was wearing a black silk shirt, curled up on the sofa, sleepy-eyed, leaning back against the sofa, biting his cigarette holder, and smiling, "Your waist is quite thin."
He tilted his head, his nose was very high, his skin was very white, his eyes were half-closed, and his very long eyelashes covered the bottom of his eyes, making him look hazy and overly cold.
It seemed that he had just woken up, and his voice sounded a little sleepy, low and hoarse, but with an unintentional laziness, and a bit of clarity.
He reached out and brushed off the cigarette ash. His black collar was half open, and the skin on his neck was reflected in the thick black color, making it look as delicate as fine porcelain.
"Huh?" Jiang Dongye turned a page of the medical record and didn't hear clearly.
Looking up and seeing this elegant and charming color, it is not difficult to understand why the men and women in the capital are crazy about this Third Master.
"It's none of your business." Cheng Juan stretched out his long legs, leaned on the sofa, and said lazily, "After two days, when the mission here is completed, you can return to the capital."
"What about you?" Jiang Dongye came back to his senses.
The bony fingers put out the cigarette in the ashtray.
Cheng Juan stood up, his legs straight and slender, his eyes slightly lowered with laziness, he reached out and patted the non-existent cigarette ash on his clothes, his expression relaxed and nonchalant: "There are other tasks."
**
The Ning family’s car was just downstairs from the town’s health center.
It was a black BMW with a Yuncheng license plate.
After Ning Qing negotiated with the doctor, she took Qin Ran and Chen Shulan back to Yuncheng.
"The Lin family has a lot of rules. Don't bring your bad habits into the Lin family. Do you hear me?" Ning Qing tilted her head and rubbed her brows.
Qin Ran only brought a black backpack. She put the bag on her legs, half-closed her eyes and felt a little sleepy. She nodded indifferently.
Bend a pair of thin and straight legs.
He exuded a reckless and unruly spirit, and I didn't know whether she had listened to him or not.
"Are you so sleepy? Did you steal last night?" Having been a noble lady in the Lin family for twelve years, Ning Qing is now elegant in her every move.
What she hated most was the bandit spirit in Qin Ran, which was exactly the same as Qin Hanqiu's.
Qin Ran took out a pair of black headphones from her pocket and put them on. She said nonchalantly, "I went to the Internet cafe and played games all night."
As she raised her head, the half-hanging headphones slid into her collar and rested on her neck.
"You...you are not allowed to go to the Internet cafe in the future!" Ning Qing looked at her lazy appearance and gritted her teeth, "Don't be disobedient. If you give one tenth of Yu'er, I won't have to lecture you like this. The Lin family is not your grandmother's family. Your words and deeds affect your sister. Don't worry about it yourself, and don't let Yu'er suffer."
Ning Qing became increasingly annoyed when she thought about having to use her connections to get Lin Qi to get Qin Ran into the third year of high school.
Given Qin Ran’s current situation, she would probably not be able to find a school willing to accept her even if she searched the entire Yuncheng.
Back then, she relied on her good looks to marry Lin Qi, a real estate businessman who had lost his wife. Lin Qi had a son and had made it clear that he didn't want Ning Qing to have another child.
Qin Yu was extremely smart when she was a child, and she was also pretty and likable.
She had excellent grades and outstanding talents, and the Lin family had never had to worry about her studies.
No matter where you put him, he will always be the "other people's child" in the eyes of others.
The Lin family was very satisfied with Qin Yu.
Ning Qing was naturally happy to bring Qin Yu to marry into the Lin family.
But think about taking Qin Ran to the Lin family next.
Ning Qing didn't even have an appetite for lunch.
**
At four o'clock in the afternoon, a black BMW stopped in front of the Lin family villa in Yuncheng.
“Madam.” The person who opened the door was a middle-aged woman in a blue top. She was surprised when she saw Chen Shulan and Qin Ran behind Ning Qing.
Ning Qing felt a little stuffy in her chest, and she was upset. "Mrs. Zhang, take my mom and Ranran in. Yu'er is about to finish class. I'll go pick her up."
Qin Yu has always been picked up and dropped off by the Lin family's driver.
Ning Qing went to pick him up in person today. To be frank, she was still upset. She didn't want to stay at home facing Qin Ran, so she wanted to go out and take a breath.
Mrs. Zhang watched Ning Qing leave, then turned her head to look at the two of them, her eyes full of suspicion.
"Madam, Miss Qin," she glanced at the two of them with an extremely obscure look before speaking, "Come in."
As he spoke, he turned his head and led the way, and at an angle where the two of them couldn't see, he curled the corners of his mouth.
Chen Shulan walked along and saw the exquisitely decorated European-style buildings.
My fingers unconsciously grasped the corner of my clothes, feeling a little helpless.
Stopping at the door of the hall, Mrs. Zhang was just about to take out her slippers.
But I saw Chen Shulan walking into the gate with her shoes on.
After Chen Shulan stepped in, she felt Mrs. Zhang looking at her with surprise. The pores on her back exploded and she felt so ashamed.
Although she was from the country, she always loved cleanliness and there was never much dust on her feet and clothes.
Mrs. Zhang's gaze was like a thorn in her back, but her granddaughter was right beside her. Chen Shulan tried her best to ignore Mrs. Zhang's gaze and stood straight.
She took a step back and wanted to change her shoes, but saw that Mrs. Zhang had put her slippers back on.
The Lin family had many guest rooms. Mrs. Zhang was unsure of Ning Qing's current attitude, so she took the two of them to a guest room on the third floor.
At the corner of the second floor, I saw a half-open house with a corner of a valuable violin exposed.
Qin Ran took another look.
Mrs. Zhang glanced at Qin Ran and said expressionlessly, “That’s the Second Miss’s piano room.”
Qin Ran raised her eyebrows and followed Mrs. Zhang lazily with the word "impatient" written all over her body. She thought casually that it seemed that Qin Yu was quite favored in the Lin family.
The guest rooms upstairs are rather drab.
"This is the bathroom. Do you know how to use the water heater?" Mrs. Zhang opened the bathroom door and introduced it, as if the two people opposite her were cavemen.
Qin Ran sat on the low table with one leg slightly bent. She casually fiddled with the flowers on the table with one hand and rolled up her sleeves.
Revealing the slender white wrists.
"You two can take a rest first. If you need anything, just call me. I'll be downstairs now." After Mrs. Zhang gave a few instructions, she went downstairs to help in the kitchen.
After she left, Qin Ran locked the door.
Chen Shulan looked at the beautiful, spotless room and said with a smile, "This Mrs. Zhang seems to be quite... easy to get along with. I'll feel relieved if you live here in the future."
Qin Ran dumped the contents of her backpack onto the table.
He raised his eyebrows when he heard that, but decided not to remind grandma. Just now, Mrs. Zhang almost had a look of contempt on her face as if to say, "These two poor relatives are here to take advantage of the Lin family."
Chen Shulan watched Qin Ran fiddling with her things but didn't disturb her. This granddaughter had a lot of weird things.
The last time they got together, Chen Shulan was really scared when she saw the gun reflecting the cold air on the table, but later Qin Ran said that it was just a simulated toy gun.
Qin Ran sat on the table with her legs bent, fiddling with the things in her backpack. There was an unmarked laptop that looked new and had no brand. She put it on the table and ignored it.
He took out another very heavy mobile phone.
She continued to throw it on the table.
Her things were always messy, and she picked out a white plastic bottle from a pile of items.
When I picked it up, it made a shaking sound, and there was water inside.
There was just a capital Q drawn on the outside in a messy way with a black pen, and a sticky note attached to it.
Qin Ran tore off the note. There was a string of characters written on it in a mess. To others, it looked like a bunch of garbled characters. She looked at it for a while and threw it aside.
Holding only a white plastic bottle in his hand, he tilted his head to glance at Chen Shulan, hesitated for a moment, and finally put it back into his pocket.
Not long after, Mrs. Zhang came up and knocked on the door.
"The master and the eldest young master are back and are downstairs. They want to see you two."
**
Downstairs, Lin Qi and Lin Jinxuan were talking in low voices.
After all, she was going to bring another daughter back, so Ning Qing didn't have the courage to make the decision on her own. She called Lin Qi while she was at the health center.
"I heard that he took a year off from school and was given a serious warning in his previous school. He's a troublemaker, and it'll be difficult for him to be sent to No. 1 Middle School." Lin Qi thought about Ning Qing's request and frowned worriedly.
He originally thought that Qin Yu was so well behaved, and her sister wouldn't be much worse, so he didn't ask much at the time.
This is a problem right now, because the Lin family has never had such a bad person.
Lin Jinxuan had an indifferent look on his face, one hand resting on the sofa, his head tilted as he played with his phone, seemingly chatting with someone.
When Lin Qi was talking, he didn't even raise his head, showing no interest in Qin Ran as Lin Qi mentioned.
Just when he heard some noise at the stairs, he glanced up casually.
Stunned.
