Chapter 515: Unworthy
Qin Ran looked down at the local telephone number.
She didnt know who it was.
Fearing that it was someone from the laboratory, she picked it up.
A female voice sounded over the phone, elegant and calm. Miss Qin, hello. Im Ouyang Wei.
This name was very familiar to Qin Ran, who had heard it often from Cheng Mu and Hao Dui.
It had also, later on, appeared frequently at 129.
Even Elder Xu and Butler Qin also mentioned this name often.
She had checked Ouyang Weis data by hand before. It all seemed quite ordinary, perfect, and without any omissions.
No one knew better than her that the more perfect the information, the more there was behind it.
She had investigated the causes and consequences of the Qin familys decline in Beijing.
The Qin family had been one of the four major families in Beijing back then. It seemed to be reasonable that it was later on replaced by the Ouyang family, but
Leaning against her chair and raising an eyebrow calmly, she asked straightforwardly, Whats the matter?
Its nothing much, I just wanted to meet you. Ouyang Weis voice still sounded very elegant. I have something here that might be of interest to you.
Qin Ran looked down silently.
Judging by Cheng Mus and Cheng Wenrus reactions, she had already guessed that Ouyang Wei had feelings for Cheng Juan.
Although Qin Rans emotional intelligence wasnt very high, it was so obvious that she naturally guessed it.
But she was just surprised. Cheng Juans reputation in Beijing wasnt excellent, and most of the comments on him were that he was nothing without the Cheng family. Ouyang Wei was surprisingly prestigious in Beijing, and the two of them couldnt be more polar opposites.
In this case, Ouyang Weis reaction was
A little too strange.
Ill check it out myself if its of interest to me. Qin Ran propped her legs up in disinterest.
Ouyang Wei didnt seem surprised and still continued elegantly. What if I say it has something to do with the bombing of Ninghai Towns laboratory? Miss Qin, if youre interested, Ill wait for you in the central cafe tomorrow.
She hung up right after.
In the study, Qin Ran narrowed her eyes slightly.
Whats on your mind? Cheng Juan entered the room.
Nothing. Qin Ran looked up and glanced at him. Although she couldnt really fully believe Ouyang Weis words, she might really know something about the explosion in the laboratory.
No matter what, she was a little interested in Ouyang Wei.
Im going to Cheng Jins headquarters tomorrow. Cheng Juan lazily leaned on the chair beside her. Come with me if youre free.
Qin Ran nodded, then realized what he said, and paused for a moment. Okay.
The cafe Ouyang Wei was talking about wasnt far from Cheng Jins headquarters.
It was on the way.
A new message from Lu Zhaoying popped up on her phone
[Sister Mingyue is with me.]
Qin Ran paused before sending a message to Song Luting and then asking Lu Zhaoying the reason.
**
In the Lu familys house.
Pan Mingyue was sitting on the bed in the Lu familys guest room.
She had taken off her glasses and was looking a little confused at the moment. Her face was pale and drained of blood. Her face behind the glasses was clean and beautiful, and her slender neck looked a little fragile.
Lu Zhaoying hung up the call with Qin Ran before knocking on the door and entering.
Usually loud and carefree, he suddenly paused when he saw her sitting on the bed. Then, he placed the tray on the bedside table and casually said, Did you fight with that person with the surname Feng? Just tell him clearly if you have any troubles. Dont bottle it up inside. I dont know much about Feng Ci, but he has a good character.
He raised his hand and was about to pat Pan Mingyues shoulder, but turned halfway and touched his earrings awkwardly instead.
Eat your meal. He glanced at her.
Pan Mingyue pursed her lips and looked up at him. Thank you.
Lu Zhaoying stared at her and smiled. No worries.
He turned and left.
As soon as he closed the door and turned around, he bumped right into Mother Lu.
He jumped out of his skin. What the f*ck? Mom, why are you snooping around?
Why are you so easily scared? Mother Lu folded her arms and glanced at him with disdain. Look at you. Dont harm the little girl!
Lu Zhaoying was speechless.
**
Inside, Pan Mingyue was still holding her phone, thinking of Lu Zhaoyings words.
She clicked on Feng Cis phone number and called him.
He picked up immediately.
On the other end, Feng Ci was extremely anxious. He immediately admitted his wrong and then explained, Mingyue, I really have nothing to do with her. It was all rumors passed on by the high school alumni
At that time, Feng Ci and Lin Jinxuan had also been high-spirited, and Feng Ci hadnt denied the rumors. This was why they had become a pair.
Pan Mingyue remained silent for a long time and moved her fingers. Ill call the police
Lets just forget about this and pretend it never happened, okay? I was wrong. Feng Ci burrowed his head in his arms. Where are you now?
Pan Mingyue closed her eyes.
She didnt want a perfunctory apology from him.
She just said simply, But Feng Ci, they were the one in the wrong.
She hung up the phone and buried her head in her knees.
Her phone rang again.
She looked down and saw a phone call from Madam Feng.
She answered the phone numbly.
Pan Mingyue, since you said youre going to leave my son, please dont come back and disturb him again. Madam Fengs voice was condescending and a little bit sarcastic. You should know what level youre on. Youre in no way worthy of Feng Ci.
