His back seemed a little cold and not to be trifled with.

Taken aback, Leng Peishan walked over to Nan Huiyao. This is

Hes packing up Ran Rans things. Shes not staying on campus anymore. Nan Huiyao tilted her head and explained it to her.

Family member?

Leng Peishans imagination ran wild.

Cheng Mu had already packed the things. He held the black suitcase in his left hand and the flower pot in his right. His body was imposing, his features were cold, his speech was strict, and his eyes shot rays of coldness.

1

Mr. Cheng Mu? Leng Peishan almost whispered.

Taking the suitcase and going out with ease, he heard Leng Peishans voice and stopped to look at her. Since she was Qin Rans roommate, he politely greeted her.

Im Ouyang Weis cousin. Weve met at my cousins birthday party before. Leng Peishan pinched her palm.

Ouyang Weis birthday party hadnt been small. It had been filled with people who could play without care in Beijing. Leng Peishan hadnt known many of them.

But she had known the people at the center of the circle at that time as Cheng Mu and the others.

Hearing the words Ouyang Wei, Cheng Mu withdrew his polite expression, and it became cold as iron.

3

Unlike Qin Ran and Cheng Juan, he had yet to reach the point where he could forget things easily. People like Leng Peishan were plentiful in Beijing, and he couldnt remember everyone.

If it had been a year ago, he wouldnt even have stopped to greet her.

2

But now, not only was Ouyang Wei no longer his goddess, but the most important thing was

Both Cheng Shui and Cheng Jin had very sternly warned him of her.

Although he wasnt very bright, he still remembered his brothers words carefully.

2

Leng Peishan had never talked to Cheng Mu but had heard people mention him. He was a part of the Cheng family, and she could only stare at him from afar during Ouyang Weis banquet last time.

She still smiled when he pulled the suitcase and left without hesitation. Tucking her hair behind her ear, she said as if nothing was wrong, My cousin is going to take the intermediate membership exam soon

Like an unsentimental luggage-carrying machine, Cheng Mu directly went downstairs.

2

In the bedroom, Leng Peishan stared at his back and withdrew her smile.

1

She sat back down on her stool, in a daze.

Yang Yi put her book on the table. Do you know Qin Rans family?

Yeah Taking her phone, Leng Peishan looked absent-mindedly out of the balcony.

Nan Huiyao sat down on a chair, holding her chin indifferently in her fingers. Did you hear? His surname is Cheng, the top of the several surnames that cant be messed with in school. Next time, ride on Ran Rans coattails. She smiled.

Yang Yi nodded in agreement. Exactly.

They chatted and laughed in good moods, but Leng Peishan didnt think it was funny at all.

1

Cheng Mu was the Cheng familys Crown Princes most valued subordinate and could enter and leave their house as he liked. It was a well-known fact in the circle that most of the Cheng familys heirs had to address Cheng Mu respectfully.

Qin Rans boyfriend was Cheng Mu?

6

How could she have anything to do with the Cheng family

**

In the Xu familys house.

Principal Xu opened the market during his three-month-long stay in Continent M. After returning to Beijing, it took a week before he started organizing the Xu familys affairs.

Grandpa. Xu Yaoguang stood up from the chair, his eyes cold.

From now on, youll take care of the Mas familys affairs in Continent M. Ive already found an heir for the research institute. Principal Xu glanced out the window.

He used to entertain the idea of Xu Yaoguang being together with Qin Ran.

At that time, one Xu family would be in charge of the Xu familys authority, while the other would be in charge of the research institute

He had even specifically ruled out public opinion and transferred Xu Yaoguang from Beijing to Heng Chuan First Middle School. Forget it if he eventually fancied that Qin Yu, but in the end, Qin Ran had been snatched by the Cheng family.

When Xu Yaoguang first heard Cheng Juan mention this back in Yun Cheng, he hadnt known who the heir was. It wasnt until after the college entrance examination that Qin Ran got full marks in Physics and Mathematics that he came to a realization

3

So, at that time, he had rushed to Yun Cheng urgently, wanting to ask Qin Ran about it. But he had returned to Continent M after failing to meet her.

Yes, grandpa. He bid farewell to Principal Xu before leaving the study.

After he left, Principal Xu dialed Qin Rans cell phone.

Qin Ran was in the study upstairs now.

Cheng Juan was using her phone to play games and was helping Qin Ling record the video.

After sending the screen recording to him, he received a reply after a long while

[You cant play as fast as my sister.]

1

Cheng Juan bit the cigarette and slightly narrowed his eyes.

1

He was about to reply to him when a call appeared on the top of the phone, with only one word written

Xu.

Qin Rans saved contact names were extremely messy.

There were strange names like Bird and Dragon.

2

Cheng Juan had even seen one called Barbecue.

5

Xu was considered normal.

Picking up the call, Cheng Juan walked downstairs and politely answered, Wait a minute, shes reading upstairs.

On the other end of the phone, Principal Xu was silent for a while. Why is it you?

1

Back in Yun Cheng, he had requested for Cheng Juan to look out for his heir, but now that he had snatched her away, he felt extremely uncomfortable.

Elder Xu? Cheng Juan was also silent for a while. He stood on the stairs and paused for a while before walking upstairs. Wait a moment.

He opened the study door and saw Qin Ran writing in her textbook.

Elder Xu. He handed her the phone.

Putting the pen down on the table, Qin Ran took the phone and answered. Principal Xu?

Do you have time? Principal Xu stood by the window, looking outside with deep eyes. Lets continue to talk about Yun Cheng.

Wait. Qin Ran put her hand to her temple. Wait until Ive finished my midterm exam.

Midterm exam? Principal Xu sounded surprised. He held the phone with his other hand and asked, What major are you studying?

Qin Ran told the truth.

Principal Xu: Not bad. Both were arrogant majors, but they were still related to each other.

Since she had agreed and was also in Beijing, he wasnt particularly anxious. She naturally wouldnt break her promise.

The matter of his heir mustnt be rushed, and it involved many forces. When the time came, Beijing would be in a pitiful state. Before that, he had to make thorough preparations in all aspects.

They exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Qin Ran leaned back in her chair and passed the phone to Cheng Juan.

With a little bit of water left in his cup, he poured it out before refilling it, still not taking the phone from her.

Raising an eyebrow, she looked a little peevish. You

She originally thought he was going to ask about Principal Xu.

Pulling a chair over, he pointed to her phone and said matter-of-factly, Your brother scolded me.

Scolded him?

Qin Ran lowered her head and flipped through WeChat to see what Qin Ling had said.

She slowly replied to him

[He played it for the first time like you.]

[Youre worse than him.]

2

After replying to Qin Ling, she handed the phone back to Cheng Juan.

He took it and glanced at it, then stood up and left with the phone. Closing the study door, he clicked on Qin Lings profile, and while the other party was typing, he sent a message

[Terrible brother (Smile)]

1

In less than a second, after confirming that Qin Ling had seen this sentence, he quickly withdrew.

And sent another smiley face.

**

Downstairs, Cheng Mu returned with Qin Rans luggage. He put the suitcase in the middle of the hall and carefully placed the flower pot by the window. He couldnt help frowning at the sight of the wilted leaves. Miss Qin just couldnt take care of flowers.

2

Brother, why are you back? He just picked up the tools when Cheng Jin came upstairs.

Cheng Jin glanced around the hall. Master Juan told me to come.

Sit first. Cheng Juan was casually playing the game.

Taking the shovel, Cheng Mu sat down with Cheng Jin. Whats the matter?

Something is indeed important. Cheng Juans voice was unhurried. Cheng Jin, how long do you need to move the central financial resources back?

The entire center? The same one as the Yunguang Consortiums? Cheng Jin was surprised.

Cheng Juan leaned on the sofa. Yeah.

It took the Yunguang Consortium more than a year to do it. They only started settling in Beijing last year, but we have several strongholds here already. If we were to move the finances, itll take a few months faster than them. But Master Juan, are you sure? The corner of Cheng Jins mouth twitched.

Was he trying to make Beijing explode?

Yes. Cheng Juan was still playing the game. I cant afford not to give Elder Xu face.

4

Cheng Jin stared at him. He didnt even give face to Old Master Cheng, but he wanted to give face to Elder Xu?

2

Just that

What did this have to do with Elder Xu?

After finishing a round, Cheng Juan looked at the screen recording before sending it to Qin Ling.

Cheng Jin took out his work computer and quickly boarded the website. He took the time to glance at Cheng Juan. Then, I want to hold a high-level meeting right away. Whats the specific reason?

Cheng Juan held the phone and said, Do it.

Nothing else. He only glanced upstairs and stretched his hand lazily against his forehead. If the Old Master knew about the heir of the largest research institute in Beijing, he wouldnt be able to sit still
