Lu Zhaoying reached for a cigarette in his pocket.

He didn’t look up when Qin Ran asked the question. “She didn’t ask me to find out. You both can figure it out on your own.”

Lu Zhaoying didn’t know much about Pan Mingyue. He just knew that something seemed amiss with her that night, although she didn’t want to talk about it.

Qin Ran glanced at him.

She’d gone to Continent M for about half a year, and Lu Zhaoying had kept an eye on Pan Mingyue for her in the meantime. Pan Mingyue wasn’t into gaming, so she spent a lot of her time on her studies.

After she returned, Lu Zhaoying kept in contact with her, but he did not contact Pan Mingyue as much anymore.

“Mingyue, Big Brother Song will take you there first,” said Song Luting as he squatted beside her.

Pan Mingyue looked up and slowly focused her gaze on him.

Song Luting did not speak anymore. He got up slowly and thanked Lu Zhaoying first before taking Pan Mingyue out.

Qin Ran did not leave with him. When both of them had left, she turned to ask Lu Zhaoying, “You really didn’t manage to find out anything?”

Lu Zhaoying’s smile was a little odd. He leaned back on the wall and said, “I looked up a little on Feng Ci.”

Feng Ci?

Qin Ran recalled Pan Mingyue mentioning him before. He was Feng Loucheng’s son. Qin Ran trusted Feng Loucheng, so she never paid much attention to Feng Ci.

But from what Lu Zhaoying said…

Qin Ran responded, “I got it.”

She followed Song Luting out.

But Lu Zhaoying grabbed her elbow. “Her state…”

“Might not be stable.” Qin Ran did not want to lie to him. “You know that Mingyue’s condition hasn’t been too stable.”

Qin Ran was worried about Pan Mingyue and didn’t stay to talk to him anymore. She quickly left.

Lu Zhaoying couldn’t help but furrow his brows as he watched the car pull out.

“Ran Ran left with Mingyue?” Mother Lu came out from behind him.

Lu Zhaoying nodded but did not say more.

Mother Lu knew what he was thinking right away. She smiled and said, “You can continue acting.”

With that, Mother Lu strutted away in her heels.

Lu Zhaoying turned to look at his mother in disbelief.

“Oh.” Mother Lu walked to the couch and thought about something. “I heard that Old Master Cheng…”

Lu Zhaoying went to sit by her side. “His health is suffering. He might not be able to hold out for much longer.”

“Third Young Master is the one taking over, right?” Mother Lu said deeply. “Otherwise, how is he going to stay in Beijing?”

Cheng Wenru had her own company and was working with the Yunguang Consortium now, one of the top 500 companies in the world.

Cheng Raohan wasn’t on good terms with Cheng Juan. If he were to take over the Cheng family, Cheng Juan wouldn’t have such a good time in the Cheng family anymore. In fact, he might even be chased out…

Even Qin Ran’s research work at the institute might be affected.

This wasn’t a good sign.

Mother Lu was worried that Beijing…

Was going to witness a drastic turn of events.

Mother Lu noticed that Lu Zhaoying was oddly calm. She raised a brow and tried to sound him out. “You don’t seem the least bit worried about your buddy’s future.”

“I’m worried, who says I’m not?” Lu Zhaoying glanced at Jiang Dongye’s message and headed out immediately.

Mother Lu received a call soon after he left.

She got up from her seat in shock. “The Cheng family? Old Master Cheng? Alright.”

Mother Lu hurriedly hung up and left too.

On the other side, Qin Ran and Song Luting returned to the apartment.

Song Luting settled Pan Mingyue down before asking her, “What happened with Feng Ci?”

“Just,” Pan Mingyue only mentioned it briefly to Qin Ran before. “Just like that…”

Qin Ran roughly told him what she knew.

If the situation had been different, Song Luting would definitely lose his cool. He might even look for Feng Ci.

But upon seeing the state Pan Mingyue was in, he simply nodded.

Qin Ran received a message on her cell phone. She glanced at it and said, “It’s Feng Ci’s issue. Big Brother Song, you should talk to him.”

She sent him the contact number of Feng Ci that she found.

Qin Ran then went to see Pan Mingyue.

When she left the Lu family, Pan Mingyue seemed to already be in her past state.

“Ran Ran.” Pan Mingyue put on her glasses and looked up from her study table when she saw Qin Ran enter. “I’m troubling you and Big Brother Song again.”

Her emotional state seemed rather inconsistent. Qin Ran was worried.

She’d placed Pan Mingyue under Feng Loucheng’s care previously because she felt that, given her personality, it wasn’t suitable for Pan Mingyue to be with her.

But now it seemed like Feng Louchen’s place wasn’t suitable, either…

Qin Ran looked up. She couldn’t figure out what was going on on Lu Zhaoying’s end…

She knitted her brows together.

Her cell phone rang intrusively.

Pan Mingyue turned to look out the window. She said softly, as if having thought things out, “Ran Ran, don’t worry. I won’t die before I get my officer license. Nothing went wrong between Feng Ci and me. Perhaps… we’re just not fit for each other.”

Qin Ran eyed her for a long while.

She couldn’t seem to detect anything amiss and finally nodded. “Alright. Big Brother Song will be around here. I have something to attend to at the Cheng family.”

Pan Mingyue nodded and watched Qin Ran leave. Then, she took her cell phone out and read Madam Feng’s message—

[Let’s find a time to meet.]

Pan Mingyue closed her eyes for a while after seeing it. When she reopened her eyes, they were cold and distant again—

[Sure.]

Qin Ran only received Cheng Mu’s call when she went downstairs.

Song Luting was in the kitchen cooking porridge for Pan Mingyue. Upon hearing Qin Ran’s phone ringing, he looked up with a wry smile. “The Cheng lad?”

He’d gone to Principal Xu’s handover ceremony that day.

And heard them discuss Cheng Juan.

Song Luting rubbed his temple. Both of them were trouble. Mingyue wasn’t too bad, but Qin Ran was simply out of control.

The Cheng family was evidently a very complicated group.

Song Luting lowered the heat.

“It’s Cheng Mu.” Qin Ran did not want to look Song Luting in the eye. She picked up the call.

She dared not even imagine the situation if Song Luting were to meet Cheng Juan in person.

Cheng Mu sounded rather anxious. “Miss Qin, I’m at the Cheng household. Come over, quick. Something’s happened!”
