Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Qin Yu and the two police officers had been talking to the hotel management about the monitoring video. After all, it was not easy to take something from the Yun Ding Hotel.

After the diamond in Qin Ling’s hand was taken out, most of them thought that the monitor did not matter anymore.

But who knew that Li Qiu would say that the diamond in Qin Ling’s hand did not belong to Li Shuangning?

And Manager Wang had even specially brought the monitoring video to Qin Ran?

Other than Qin Yu and Li Qiu, even Old Master Lin was surprised and looked up at Qin Ran in shock.

Qin Ran took the tablet lightly.

Manager Wang panted and stood beside her.

“Miss Qin, the hall monitoring video you want is here. This is the corridor monitoring video…” He tapped on the tablet screen with his thick fingers.

Yun Ding Hotel’s monitoring video was very clear.

Qin Ran found the video she wanted and zoomed in.

She didn’t hide it and made sure Lin Qi and Qin Hanqiu both saw it.

Qin Hanqiu heaved a sigh of relief.

Qin Ran directly threw the tablet to Li Qiu. “Look at it yourself!”

Li Qiu’s smart and capable face was startled for the first time as she looked down at the tablet.

The monitoring video was slowed down by eight times and showed Qin Ling accidentally hitting Li Shuangning when he lowered his head. However, from beginning to end, even if it had been slowed down by eight times, Qin Ling’s hands were on his sides and he did not touch Li Shuangning.

After that, Qin Ling did not even stand within three meters of Li Shuangning.

Li Shuangning was fiercely protected by the bodyguard and Li Qiu.

It was simply impossible for Qin Ling to get the Dream Heart from Li Shuangning.

Li Qiu’s expression changed. When she had realized that Li Shuangning’s diamond necklace was missing, the Ning family’s relatives had said that it was Qin Ling who took it. After not being able to find the necklace, she had become certain that Qin Ling had taken it.

But now that the matter had blown up, it turned out the child did not have anything to do with the necklace.

These were all secondary, however. Li Qiu was most afraid that Manager Wang had come out personally to bring the monitoring video over.

She had looked at Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling’s dressing and manners and had determined that they had no background, so she didn’t even bother mentioning her name to them. But now…

“Miss, this is all a misunderstanding.” Li Qiu was quick to go with the flow and returned the diamond and the tablet to Qin Ran.

She apologized to Qin Ran and Qin Ling.

After all, she was a manager and was extremely discerning. She bowed and gave Qin Hanqiu her business card.

She expressed that she would compensate him for this matter and then hurried back to continue looking for the necklace.

Qin Yu took a look at the video unscrupulously and saw that Qin Ran also had no entanglement with Li Shuangning.

Li Qiu walked over grandly, but she was half as imposing as before.

Ning family’s relatives exchanged glances and did not dare to say anything at this time.

“We’re all a family.” Old Master Lin suddenly stood up and coughed. “It was all just a misunderstanding. You’re Xiao Ling, right? You look so much like your sister. Everyone, pack up, I have arranged rooms for you…”

They followed Old Master Lin and relaxed their tense expressions.

“Nobody is apologizing?” A cold voice rang slightly in the gradually relaxed atmosphere.

The chill in the atmosphere returned.

When no one spoke, Qin Ran turned sideways and swept her eyes across the room. She finally focused on Lin Qi and the Ning family’s relatives. “Even if you did not believe him, you could have waited to see the monitoring video first, right? How could you coerce a child into this so quickly? Uncle Lin, I thought that you of all people would at least say something.”

Lin Qi was silent for a while. “Ran Ran…”

Old Master Lin quickly looked at Qin Hanqiu. “My apologies. In order to show my sincerity, I will arrange a job for you in Yun Cheng…”

If it weren’t for Qin Ran, Old Master Lin would never make such an arrangement.

He could tell that Qin Ran’s relationship with Qin Hanqiu was much better than with Ning Qing.

This investment was worth it.

Merchants placed importance on high profits, and this was reflected all the time.

Ning Qing’s relatives looked at Qin Hanqiu in jealousy.

“No need,” Qin Hanqiu, who had been silent, finally looked up and said. He glanced at Qin Yu and then said to Old Master Lin, “I can’t afford to climb on the Lin Corporation!”

“I wish Miss Qin a bright future!” Qin Hanqiu looked at Qin Yu.

Then, he turned to Qin Ran and Qin Ling. “Ran Ran, Xiao Ling, let’s go.”

Qin Ran still had something to say, but she was surprised to see Qin Hanqiu behave this way and followed him without a word.

“Uncle, wait!” A middle-aged man also ran out quickly.

At this time, few people paid attention to the middle-aged man.

“Dad!”

“Qin Hanqiu!”

“Hanqiu!”

After Qin Hanqiu spoke, Qin Yu and Ning Qing’s relatives all looked at each other in shock.

Qin Yu pursed her lips tightly. She never imagined that Qin Hanqiu, who had protected her since young, would ever stand opposite her.

She didn’t care about Qin Hanqiu’s love for her, but it made her very uncomfortable to see him disregard her.

Especially since this made her banquet become a joke in an instant.

Old Master Lin knew Manager Wang’s backing and panicked when he saw Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran’s attitude.

“Mr. Qin, Ran Ran, this…”

“Boom—”

Qin Ling turned and stared blankly at the Lin family before closing the lounge door.

**

“Aunt Zhang, take care of the guests first.” Old Master Lin was silent for a while.

Aunt Zhang brought them to the guest rooms.

The Lin family had standard rooms with two beds in each room. It was small, but the environment and service were still very good.

“I really cannot tell what Qin Hanqiu is thinking, the Lin family already gave him so much face.” The cousin’s mother looked at the clean and beautiful hotel room and couldn’t help but sigh. “He even left.”

“He did it for Qin Ran,” the grandma said in a low voice. “Did you not see that Qin Ran was not in line with Qin Yu? They said that Qin Hanqiu was too stupid and lacked ambition. I think it’s true. No wonder Ning Qing divorced him. If only this opportunity was given to me.”

“The stupidest one is Zhou Dajian, right? It was fine and it had nothing to do with him, but he still left with Qin Hanqiu.” The grandma pouted and glanced at the beautiful room again. “It’s his own fault he cannot stay in such a beautiful room!”

Downstairs in the lounge.

Ning Qing looked in the direction of Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran and then glanced at Qin Yu. She shook her head and said, “Qin Hanqiu’s character is so stubborn and he never climbs up. I have told him so many times, but he’s still satisfied with the factory job. He has not improved even after so many years.”

Chen Shulan quite liked Qin Hanqiu, but Ning Qing hated their lack of ambition the most.

They lived as they pleased in almost all situations.

Finally, Ning Qing couldn’t bear it and simply divorced him.

Qin Ran was basically a chip off the old block.

Ning Qing felt a heartache again after she recalled seeing Master Wei in the hospital.

She glanced at Qin Yu and still kept quiet.

Qin Yu nodded at Ning Qing’s words and the anger inside dissipated a little.

She adjusted her emotions and looked at Old Master Lin. “Grandpa, I’ll go entertain my master’s students.”

Old Master Lin nodded and didn’t go out with her.

After the two of them had left.

Old Master Lin sighed and glanced at Lin Qi. “How does Qin Ran know Manager Wang?”

Although Qin Yu and Ning Qing had been in the Lin family for so many years, they were still not fully in their circle. It was obvious from Ning Qing’s reaction that she didn’t even know the existence of the Yunguang Consortium.

Ning Qing thought she had hidden it very well, as she never showed it when she did not know something in case it made her appear ignorant.

But how could she escape from Old Master Lin’s sharp eyes?

“I don’t know either.” Lin Qi shook his head. “I have checked before. Qin Hanqiu is an orphan and the Ning family are basically all farmers. There are no other traces at all.”

Lin Qi didn’t marry a second wife casually. The Lin family had a big business and he had checked all of Ning Qing’s information to make sure her background was clean and would not threaten Lin Jinxuan before marrying her.

But it was strange that their backgrounds were too clean.

Lin Qi had personally gone to Ninghai Town to see Chen Shulan’s house before he was relieved.

“That’s strange…” Old Master Lin had made a solemn vow last time and regretted it a little now.

“Even the Shen family is far behind Yunguang Consortium…”

The butler beside him said in a timely manner, “Old Master, Qin Hanqiu has always been a factory worker. If he was really a member of the Yunguang Consortium, why would he still work at the factory? Furthermore… Aunt Zhang was right. Today is a Wednesday, does First Middle School not have classes at this time? Miss Qin dared to skip class, but do you remember how Young Master never skipped a single class despite being first in school? She has an attitude problem and cannot go far.”

The butler shook his head.

But how was the monitoring video be explained?

Old Master Lin couldn’t figure it out, he could only follow the butler’s thoughts for now and kept quiet.

Qin Yu was the kind of person who would cling on tightly and climb up once given an opportunity. As long as she was given a chance, she would keep climbing up.

Old Master Lin also knew that Dai Ran was but a springboard for Qin Yu.

Qin Ran was too strange and seemed to be indifferent about everything.

Old Master Lin nodded and believed in the butler’s words.

Now that Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran had broken off their connections with the Lin family in public, Old Master Lin could only believe in the butler’s words. He could only think hard about Qin Ran’s bad resumé to make himself feel better.

However, at the bottom of his heart, he still felt a little uncertain.

**

Outside.

Zhou Dajian glanced awkwardly at Qin Ran. “You’re Ran Ran, right? You can call me… just call me Uncle.”

With such a multi-layered relationship, Zhou Dajian found a title forcibly.

He was not familiar with Qin Ran.

She was calling someone and turned over to look at Zhou Dajian when she heard him. She nodded and said very politely, “Uncle.”

A smile appeared on Zhou Dajian’s tanned face. “Oh, yes, is this really a diamond in Xiao Ling’s hands?”

He pointed to the stone that Qin Ling was holding.

Qin Ran had yet to speak when Qin Hanqiu said, “It’s probably a glass. How could a diamond be so ugly?”

Because it had not been polished, the stone surface looked extremely irregular.

“Oh, no wonder.” Zhou Dajian nodded and sighed in relief. “I was wondering how there could be such a big diamond.”

He had seen the diamond rings of his relatives and they cost more than ten thousand yuan even though they were small. How many tens of thousands would a diamond this big cost?

“Dajian, you didn’t have to come out with me. I’m not ambitious at all.” Qin Hanqiu sighed. “You…”

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t like the arrogant maid.” Zhou Dajian quickly waved his hand. “And to be honest, your second daughter is just to show off with. It does me no good to eat a good meal. But as for you, it’s really a pity…”

The words “You poor relatives have no knowledge and only know how to take advantage of people” from Aunt Zhang were engraved in his mind.

Zhou Dajian and Qin Hanqiu were coworkers and relatives.

They had exploded at that time.

“What kind of opportunity is that? Someone asked me to film a movie before and I even refused! Ran Ran, I’ll take you to dinner.” Qin Hanqiu tidied up his low mood and glanced at Qin Ran. “Tell me what you want to eat. I have to return to Ninghai Town tomorrow morning.”

Qin Ran glanced at the three of them. “There’s no need to rush to leave. I found a hotel for you just by our school.”

She hailed a taxi directly.

The taxi took them outside the gate of Heng Chuan First Middle School.

The four of them got out of the car. Qin Ran had no cash in hand, but the bank was not far away.

Qin Ran thought about it and went to the bank first.

On the way, she sent a message to Lu Zhaoying asking about Cheng Juan’s bank account number.

After a long while, Lu Zhaoying replied with a string of numbers. He also said—

[Three thousand yuan for the surgery.]

Qin Ran arrived at the bank.

The bank manager recognized her immediately and came out to greet her. “Miss Qin, what business do you have? Our bank…”

He led them into the VIP reception room.

He also made tea for them.

The bank manager was very cautious and extremely polite. “Miss Qin, this is the newly-shipped tea…”

Qin Ran pressed her temple and felt vexed.

“I want to transfer and withdraw money.” She took out her bank and ID cards directly.

Then, she raised her hand and tapped the table.

The manager shut up immediately and then quickly helped her handle the business personally.

Both Qin Hanqiu and Zhou Dajian stared at Qin Ran in fright and trepidation. They did not dare take a sip out of the antiques they were holding.

The school’s medical office.

Lu Zhaoying grinned and looked at Cheng Juan. “Master Juan, three thousand yuan, are you not being too cruel to Qin Ran? Three hundred yuan is more like it!”

Cheng Mu also looked at them blankly.

He also thought Cheng Juan was too cruel.

Ding dong—

A message came on Cheng Juan’s phone.

Lu Zhaoying leaned over to look at it. “Qin Ran is so poor, how could she transfer three thousand… yuan…”
