Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 180: Two-Faced Master Juan, Jiang Dongye Wanted to Die Immediately

“Lu Zhaoying, what’s the matter?”

Jiang Dongye had come to find Cheng Juan and the two to comfort himself. It didn’t matter that Cheng Juan ignored him. After all, he usually did not pay attention to him.

But what happened to Cheng Mu? They had been on a united front just yesterday morning.

But he had changed today.

Cheng Mu finally recovered and looked at Jiang Dongye’s confused look sympathetically.

“Actually...” Cheng Mu coughed and wanted to remind Jiang Dongye.

It was useless to find someone else to deal with Gu Xichi’s matter. Whether it was to find Qian Dui or to inquire about Gu Xichi, the most important thing was to cozy up to Qin Ran first.

“Actually, it’s nothing. I just thought Qin Ling looked a little familiar.” Lu Zhaoying interrupted Jiang Dongye and touched his earrings. He sat back in his chair and asked Jiang Dongye very seriously, “Don’t you think so?”

“Yeah, now that you say it?” Jiang Dongye nodded.

But this topic was meaningless and Jiang Dongye was not interested at all.

He had come to the school doctor’s office to find Cheng Juan, but since he was not there, he did not stay long.

“I have to go to the Criminal Investigation Team again, and I’m staying there.” Jiang Dongye got up, patted his sleeves, and sighed. “It looks like my uncle’s name is not that useful in Yun Cheng.”

He left.

Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying exchanged glances.

Actually, the two of them had also been in doubt before yesterday night. Reasonably, Qian Dui should give at least a little bit of face to Jiang Hui, right?

Besides being part of the Jiang family, as the Head of the provincial government, Jiang Hui was still a reputable person in Yun Cheng.

But Jiang Dongye still looked miserable, and Qian Dui had no intention to give him face.

But after last night, the two of them suddenly realized that it was not because Jiang Hui’s face was useless, it was because Gu Xichi had Qin Ran supporting him!

As long as Qin Ran said a word, let alone Director Jiang, even ten Director Jiangs would also be useless!

“Young Master Lu.” Cheng Mu looked back sympathetically. “Why did you stop me from talking about Gu Xichi?”

“What can you say?” Lu Zhaoying flipped through the medical records lightly and snorted without even raising his head. “I asked him to go to Qin Ran’s apprenticeship banquet, but he did not, so who else is to blame? If he had gone, forget about Qian Dui, Qin Ran herself might have revealed a little bit of news about Gu Xichi.”

Cheng Mu was speechless.

Jiang Dongye now seemed even more miserable...

Really, he was so miserable.

In a hot pot restaurant.

“Come on, Uncle will have another drink with you!” Qin Hanqiu’s face was flushed. A bunch of beer bottles was placed under his feet. He and Cheng Juan had hit it off and had been drinking until now.

This young man was extremely polite. He kept calling him “Uncle” and even said very nice words.

He was so passionate that he opened another beer.

He put it on the table with a “Boom”.

Zhou Dajian sat with Qin Ling and was talking to Qin Ran.

Zhou Dajian was asking about her studies and life, and would even mention Qin Ling and Qin Hanqiu occasionally.

“Your father has a picture of you, and he almost fought with a person at work for accidentally touching it.” Zhou Dajian took a few pieces of meat from the spicy hot pot and took a bite before continuing, “But you’re really better-looking than in your picture. I almost didn’t recognize you.”

Qin Ran glanced at the two people drinking happily at the side and leaned back on her seat. Her fringe slipped down her forehead as she nodded lazily.

Qin Hanqiu had drunk last night and might not have sobered up already. He met Cheng Juan for the first time and insisted on drinking with him.

Qin Ran was full and just sat there watching them drink.

Qin Hanqiu was in a weird state, and Qin Ran felt like Cheng Juan also noticed it.

She held her chin in one hand and flipped through the messages on her phone with the other. Gu Xichi was still studying the report and had not sent any news.

However, seeing how excited he had been last night, Qin Ran felt like he had finally achieved results this time.

She was about to close WeChat and open a game when a message came from Qian Dui.

Coincidentally, Qin Ran also wanted to ask his technician about the hacker alliance, so she simply asked Qian Dui to find her at the school doctor’s office after work.

She put on her headset and clicked on the game again before sitting sideways to play.

The air-conditioner was turned on in the hot pot restaurant in winter. She had already taken off her coat and was wearing a black sweater. Perhaps it was because Qin Hanqiu’s voice was too loud, but she directly buckled up her hat and only exposed her cold chin.

Attempting to deceive herself.

Finally, Zhou Dajian couldn’t stand it anymore. “Old Qin, enough!”

He and Qin Ling sent Qin Hanqiu back.

Qin Hanqiu still shouted that he would pay the bill.

However, when they went to the front desk, the cashier said very pleasantly to him, “Mr. Cheng has already paid the bill.”

Qin Hanqiu nodded inexplicably.

Inside.

Qin Ran put away her phone. Cheng Juan was still sitting motionlessly on the chair.

She stood up and tapped her phone on the table. “Let’s go.”

Cheng Juan raised his head at the sound and glanced at her without moving.

His face was pale and his brows were clear. His motionless figure looked like a picture scroll made by mist-covered undulating water, but there was something wrong with his gaze.

Qin Ran paused and turned back to sit across from him. “Did you drink too much?”

Cheng Juan glanced at her and answered very calmly, “No.”

“Then shall we go?” Qin Ran paused for a moment and lowered her voice.

His clear breath had a slight odor of alcohol.

Some people did not look drunk and appeared normal even after drinking, but he had clearly drunk too much.

Cheng Juan stared at her, then nodded slowly after half a minute. Then, he stood up with his hands on the table.

Qin Ran saw that he didn’t even take the car key, so she turned around again to get it.

Cheng Juan had driven here today and his Volkswagen was still parked downstairs.

Qin Ran thought about it and opened the rear door first to let him sit in the back seat.

She put her hand on the door and threw her jacket in. Then, she put her hand in her pocket casually and lifted her chin at Cheng Juan. “Get in.”

Cheng Juan didn’t move.

He looked at the co-pilot’s seat and still did not move.

“You want to sit here?” Qin Ran pointed to the co-pilot seat.

Cheng Juan finally nodded.

Fine, master.

Qin Ran slammed the rear door closed.

Then, she went to open the co-pilot door and tilted her head at Cheng Juan, her expression unbridled. “Are you satisfied now, Master Cheng?”

Her tone was coquettish as if she was smirking.

Master Cheng finally got on his favorite co-pilot seat.

Qin Ran didn’t have a driver’s license, but she guessed that nobody would dare to stop Cheng Juan’s car in Yun Cheng.

Qin Ran glanced to the side while putting the key in.

Then, she put down the key and turned sideways. “Master, lift your honorable arm. Your seatbelt...”

She looked up and a strand of hair slipped down her forehead again. Cheng Juan also lowered his head when she was about to speak to him.

How low was he going?

Qin Ran could feel his alcohol-stained breath on her neck. Her mind went blank for a few seconds as the odor hit her face. She turned her head slightly and saw that Cheng Juan’s face was inches from hers.

The surrounding air was thin.

Cheng Juan reached out and tucked her black hair on her brow bone behind her ear. “Qin Ran?”

His fingertips were hot.

His eyes were still dark, and at this time, it was even frighteningly bright. He lowered his head slightly, his voice low and husky and even slightly mumbled.

Qin Ran reacted and immediately fastened his seatbelt. She sat upright again and twisted the key before looking over. “Sit properly.”

Twenty minutes later, they arrived at the school doctor’s office.

Qin Ran looked at the co-pilot seat and closed her eyes. Cheng Juan appeared to be sleeping; his long eyelashes drooped down and his face was still as pale as jade.

He still looked like a beautiful noble son with elegant clothes and did not look drunk at all.

Qin Ran put her hand on the steering wheel and was a little irritated at his appearance.

She got out of the car.

She kicked open the door of the school doctor’s office.

Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying were there.

Lu Zhaoying looked up and smiled. “Who provoked you? Tell me.”

Then, he looked behind her. “Where’s Master Juan?”

Qin Ran glanced sideways at him and reached out to buckle up her sweater hat. “He’s in the car. He drank too much and has fallen asleep. I’m going back to class.”

She pulled her hat and walked towards the teaching building.

Her expression was cold and indifferent.

The two people in the school doctor’s office exchanged glances.

After a long while, Cheng Mu said quietly, “I seem to remember... our Master Juan is not...”

What the hell, he was clearly a deep drinker?

Lu Zhaoying was speechless for a long time.

His appearance was so dignified!

But he was a refined scum!

A beast in human clothes!

In the hospital in Ning Wei’s ward.

“Why didn’t you tell me?” Ning Qing looked at Ning Wei’s legs with red eyes. “Does mother know?”

“No, but don’t tell her.” Ning Wei shook her head. “Sister, I’m fine. I only had a minor operation and it did not cost much.”

Ning Qing felt uncomfortable and went to talk to a nurse.

She had been worried that Ning Wei was short of money, but was relieved to hear from the nurse that both the hospitalization fee and the operation fee had been paid.

Her heart sank. No wonder she didn’t see Ning Wei visiting Chen Shulan.

After spending an hour with Ning Wei, Ning Qing was prepared to get some supplements from the Lin family’s house. Ning Wei would certainly refuse money, so she might as well give her something to eat.

Once she left, Ning Wei took out a yellowed paper from under the pillow.

The paper was a little wrinkled.

She stared at it for a long time before calling Mu Nan.

Outside, Mu Ying sent Ning Qing off and then came in again. “Mom, do you really not need me here?”

Ning Wei quietly stuffed the paper under the pillow. “No.”

On the other side.

In Lin Qi’s company.

“Li Shuangning asked you about Qin Hanqiu?” Lin Qi looked at his secretary in surprise.

Sitting on the side, Old Master Lin, who had been discussing with Lin Qi about Beijing, also looked over.

The secretary replied respectfully, “Yes. I heard that they misunderstood his child and wanted to apologize to him.”

“Oh.” Lin Qi waved the secretary away.

Then, he looked at Old Master Lin and whispered, “Dad, why do I feel like something is wrong?”

Li Shuangning’s manager, Li Qiu, seemed like a strong person at one glance. She would rather gloss over this matter quickly, why would she rush to apologize?

Old Master Lin took a sip of tea and frowned. “Go ask Yu’er, and give her Qin Hanqiu’s phone number.”

Qin Hanqiu’s message was clear to him. He either worked in the brick industry or on the construction site, so there was no need for further in-depth investigation.

Li Shuangning rushed back to Yun Cheng early in the morning.

It was a pity that Li Qiu just couldn’t find Qin Ran.

At Yun Ding Hotel...

It was not easy to find Manager Wang either.

In the end, they could only find an alternative way and start with Qin Hanqiu.

Today was the day of Yan Xi’s shoot. Once netizens found out that Li Shuangning had been removed from the music video, Li Qiu simply couldn’t imagine their reactions on the Internet!

She called Qin Hanqiu directly.

In the afternoon after class.

Qin Ran slept all afternoon, but nobody dared to provoke her.

Gao Yang suddenly felt relaxed in class this afternoon.

Qin Ran got up from the table and took off her school uniform when the bell for the last lesson rang.

“Ran Ran, do you want to go to the cafeteria together?” Lin Siran asked her with her chin in one hand.

Qiao Sheng held a basketball at the back door and raised his eyebrow.

Qin Ran snorted, lowered her eyebrows slightly, and responded slowly, “Oh, no.”

At night, Qian Dui would come to find her.

She had forgotten her coat in Cheng Juan’s car and was too lazy to go back to her bedroom, so she simply draped her school uniform around herself and headed towards the school doctor’s office.

The school doctor’s office had air conditioning.

Once inside, she heard Jiang Dongye’s voice.

Jiang Dongye dragged a chair and sat beside Cheng Juan’s sofa. He raised his head when he heard the sound and greeted Qin Ran with a smile. “You’re here.”

Qin Ran glanced at him and greeted him casually before closing the door.

Jiang Dongye paused and continued talking to Cheng Mu. “I was sitting at the gate, thinking I would be able to bump into Qian Dui, but do you know what the gatekeeper told me? They actually have a back door.”

He wanted to die immediately.

Cheng Mu listened blankly to him.

At this time, someone knocked on the door.
