Chapter 416: Sister Ran Comes With a Halo

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The painting Qin Ran wanted to give to Old Master Cheng was with Cheng Mu, so Cheng Wenru thought he was coming over to give it to her.

“Yeah,” said Qin Ran casually. “But someone else is coming too.”

“Who?” Cheng Wenru’s interest was piqued. She slightly crossed her legs, sitting in a much more dignified manner than Qin Ran’s lazy posture. “Someone from the Cheng family?”

Today was the Old Master’s birthday, so entrance was allowed for the Cheng family only.

Looking up, Qin Ran casually said, “I guess?”

“Really?” Cheng Wenru glanced at the door. Cheng Juan rarely hung out with people from the Cheng family.

Other than the five brothers.

When Qin Ran was training in the military, the Old Master had come forward to greet Cheng Qingyu.

Cheng Wenru honestly couldn’t figure out who Cheng Mu was bringing to see Qin Ran.

Cheng Wenru’s wing was a little far from Cheng Mu’s courtyard.

About 10 minutes later, someone knocked on the door.

“It’s probably Cheng Mu.” Picking up her teacup, Cheng Wenru glanced at the door and said, “Come in.”

As soon as she finished speaking, someone pushed the door open. Cheng Mu came in first.

He was holding an old rectangular wooden box, respectfully followed by a young man behind.

Cheng Wenru wasn’t interested in him. Her eyes directly fell on the person behind him. Her tone was just as casual as she asked, “Cheng Mu, who is this...”

She originally wanted to ask who he had brought, but halfway through her sentence, Cheng Mu stopped, and the young man behind him also showed his face.

He was a very thin young man who looked very clever.

Shi Liming’s reputation in the Cheng family had risen, and the base had his complete “clean” information. Basically, people in the Cheng family had inquired about this young man, and Cheng Wenru was one of them.

She naturally recognized the young man standing behind Cheng Mu as Shi Liming, the Cheng family’s rising star.

Putting the teacup on the table, she felt extremely surprised inside but still remained her dignified attitude of the Cheng family’s eldest lady. Sitting up straight, she looked up, and even though she appeared calm on the surface, her tone still leaked shock. “Mr. Shi?”

Cheng Mu lightly glanced at her and then introduced him. “Xiao Shi, this is the Eldest Lady.”

Shi Liming hurriedly replied respectfully, “Hello, Eldest Lady.”

Eldest Lady was their Boss’s Sister.

He naturally respected her very much.

After greeting her, he turned to Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, I have completed all the schedules you gave me.” Speaking of this, his eyes lit up. “When will you check it?”

Qin Ran took a sip of tea, looked at him, and nodded slightly. “No, I saw it just now. You’re making rapid progress.”

With Qin Ran’s approval, Shi Liming straightened his back.

He looked down and noticed her tea had run out. He quickly walked to her side and very skillfully poured her another cup of tea.

He glanced at the color of the tea and knew that this wasn’t the kind she liked.

Looking around, he realized it wasn’t a good place to make tea, so he filled the tea that wasn’t particularly good in color.

Opposite Qin Ran, Cheng Wenru, who was still sitting on the stone bench’s cushion, kept her perfect gesture while holding her cup, speechless.

Shi Liming’s sudden emergence in the Cheng family was regarded as the most outstanding line of people since the beginning of the year and the most indispensable generation on the base. His importance was evident from how Cheng Raohan was relentless in trying to reel him in.

But now...

Who could tell her what was happening now?

Shi Liming was in front of her?

What was he doing?

Pouring tea for Ran Ran?

And Cheng Mu even called him Xiao Shi?

She felt her brain crashing. A slender figure came in from outside.

It was Cheng Juan.

“Let’s go to the courtyard for dinner.” Cheng Juan stood outside, glancing first at Qin Ran, and then slowly turning to Cheng Wenru.

Expressionless, Cheng Wenru just nodded, but instead of standing up, she told Qin Ran and Cheng Juan to go first.

Cheng Juan and Qin Ran walked in front.

Shi Liming was one step behind them, and after greeting “Boss,” he reported to Cheng Juan about the recent months’ matters.

After they had left, Cheng Wenru was still sitting there with a dazed expression.

Instead of immediately leaving, Cheng Mu stopped for a while and sympathetically looked at her. “Eldest Lady, are you okay?”

Cheng Wenru looked up, her dark eyes gleaming. “Do I look alright?”

“No,” Cheng Mu said honestly.

Cheng Wenru was speechless.

It was cold in winter, so the tea in her hands was already cold. She drank it in one sip and then raised her head. “What does Mr. Shi have to do with my Third Bro and Ran Ran?”

Her tone sounded about to collapse.

“You mean Xiao Shi?” Cheng Mu looked up. “Xiao Shi also took care of Miss Qin previously, but he was a little weak at the time. After Miss Qin taught him for half a month, he could forcibly be brought out to meet people. Thus, Master Juan sent him to the Cheng family’s base...”

He realized Cheng Wenru hadn’t made a single sound for a long while.

“Xiao Shi has regressed a little recently,” he said, “Eldest Lady? Are we still not leaving?”

Cheng Wenru was speechless.

Shut up!

The Cheng family’s family banquet was in a spacious main hall, which accommodated 200 people at the same time. Those coming now were all from the Cheng family’s management class. They each had their little groups and sat in factions chatting.

“Eldest Master, we found the Eldest Lady’s subordinate in the schoolyard,” Cheng Raohan’s subordinate came to his side and whispered.

Narrowing his eyes, Cheng Raohan sneered. “She sent someone to spy on me or Shi Liming?”

“Mr. Shi Liming. I heard that the Eldest Lady has advised the Third Young Master to visit Mr. Shi Liming more than once.” The subordinate put his hand to his mouth and lowered his voice.

“Ridiculous, doesn’t she know who Mr. Shi is?” Cheng Raohan lowered his eyes, hiding the disdain in his eyes.

After coming to the hall today, he heard a few managers discussing “Miss Qin” with a little bit of awe in their tones.

He narrowed his eyes and thought for a while.

The Old Master was sitting at the main seat, greeting all the hall masters and managers.

He was wearing a dark Tang suit, looking full of energy, and glancing at the door from time to time.

When he saw two figures outside, his eyes lit up. “Ran Ran, come here.”

Sitting next to him, when Cheng Raohan realized that the woman brought back by Cheng Juan had arrived, he couldn’t help but look up at the door.

Outside, Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were just walking in. Their appearances were perfect. Cheng Juan had been full of a noble aura since young and looked extraordinary. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been rumors of the “Cheng family’s crown prince” in Beijing.

However, the woman standing beside him wasn’t inferior.

Staring at Qin Ran, Cheng Raohan’s hands paused on the table. This “Miss Qin”... Other than her face, everything else was a great disparity from what he had heard.

Old Master Cheng smiled and asked them to sit on his right.

Their importance was evident.

Not long after they arrived, Cheng Wenru also came in.

But her face looked a little strange, and she talked less today, although no one else noticed it.

The people in the hall were quick to notice Qin Ran’s importance to the Old Master. After greeting him, they praised Miss Qin for her extraordinary temperament.

All they talked about was her “extraordinary temperament.”

There was really nothing else to say.

After all...

Some of them had heard that Old Master Cheng had to arrange Miss Qin’s school matters for her.

Sitting opposite them, Cheng Raohan listened to their flattery and couldn’t help but sneer.

“Ding dong” historical

His phone rang.

It was a message from Ouyang Wei.

He couldn’t help but laugh when he read it.

“Eldest Master.” At the main seat, most of the people looked at him. The First Hall Master glanced at him unhappily. “Is there a joyous occasion?”

Even Old Master Cheng glanced at him.

“Yes, indeed.” Putting down his phone, Cheng Raohan’s eyes were filled with joy. “Miss Ouyang just said she passed the 129’s intermediate membership test. She’ll officially become an intermediate member.”

As soon as he said that, everyone in the hall exchanged glances. The First Hall Master couldn’t help but nod. “I remember she was only admitted last year, but she has already become an intermediate member this year? This authority... is second only to a few juniors, right?”

“At Miss Ouyang’s age, it’s unprecedented at 129,” Cheng Raohan lightly said. He glanced at Qin Ran and suddenly laughed. “Speaking of which, the young lady next to my Third Bro is only a few years younger than Miss Ouyang and is probably in Beijing University? It’s the same school as Miss Ouyang was in previously. How is it?”

Neither the people on the main seat nor the second seat dared to answer. They all lowered their heads. Wasn’t Cheng Raohan deliberately touching on a sore spot?
