Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 496: Family Hope! Sister Ran

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Research Institute was closely related to Beijing and the Xu family. How could Principal Xu look for an heir so casually?

He recognized Qin Ran’s family the moment he followed Pan Mingxuan to Ninghai Town.

Originally, he didn’t intend to involve them in the Research Institute anymore, but Qin Ran’s talent in the process made it hard for him to give up. She was used to being undisciplined, but her persistence in one aspect was comparable to that of Ning’er.

He had stayed in Yun Cheng for three years.

Upon hearing this, Butler Xu’s lip tightened, and he stood there for a long while before nodding. “I see.”

After a moment, Butler Xu looked up again. “Scholar Ning… his former confidant is still in the Research Institute, right?”

In the beginning, Butler Xu had been worried. Qin Ran was so young and had no qualifications to suppress those elders, especially Director Fang…

But she was Ning’er’s granddaughter, so it was different. Several of Ning’er’s previous researchers, like Liao Gaoang, had become one of the five special researchers.

Back then, many people had been indebted to Ning’er. With them around, coupled with the intimidation of the Xu and Cheng families, Qin Ran’s path ahead wasn’t too difficult.

“I’m not sure, but…” There had been many people under Ning’er. 40 years later, these people were certainly not simple anymore, and their achievements were certainly no lower than that of Liao Gaoang. Principal Xu paused slightly. “Professor Chen should have left her clues…”

Outside, Cheng Juan and Qin Ran calmly walked on the road.

“Why are you going to Continent M this time?” Qin Ran turned sideways.

Casually hooking her fingertips with one hand, he turned to look at her. “I have to handle the Underground Alliance.”

“Oh.” Qin Ran lowered her head.

She shut up.

He turned to look at her again, thinking she would ask more questions.

Who knew that as soon as he finished speaking, she fell silent and walked quietly with her eyes looking down.

He raised an eyebrow. “Sister Ran, you…”

He was about to say she looked a little guilty when he saw a group of people waiting by the parking lot.

He swallowed his words and glanced at them, pausing slightly.

It was the Cheng family.

Old Master Cheng and Cheng Wenru had already known about this several days ago, and their reaction at the banquet was considered surprising.

A few hall masters stayed in place waiting for them.

As soon as Cheng Juan appeared, Cheng Wenru stepped forward. “Third Bro, Ran Ran.”

“Why haven’t you left?” Cheng Juan looked up, his tone obviously unhappy.

Cheng Wenru ignored him and turned to Qin Ran, not really knowing what to say. This was the first time she talked to her about this after knowing she was Elder Xu’s heir. “Ran Ran, you’re really… Beijing hasn’t been so lively for many years. My Father almost called the family doctor.”

Although Old Master Cheng hadn’t found the doctor that night, he had been in very stable condition for half a year. In the past few days, under the instructions of professionals, he had added a pill after every meal.

Old Master Cheng pretended to be calm with his hands behind him.

Cheng Juan looked up. “Let’s go back first.”

Other than a few people in the Cheng family who knew that Qin Ran was the heir chosen by Elder Xu, everyone else had yet to return to their senses and were still a little shocked.

Not far away.

Cheng Raohan finished talking to Ouyang Wei and glanced over, stunned.

“Eldest Master, do you want to go over and greet them?” His confidant asked in a low voice.

If Qin Ran had been just a student who passed the physics laboratory exam, she would still mean nothing to him even if she was a little famous on the Internet.

But now…

Her identity as Elder Xu’s Research Institute heir was enough to make him take her seriously.

Especially since he could tell from Elder Xu’s attitude how much he valued her.

Even Xu Yaoguang, who had always been cold, looked familiar with her, and even stayed with her throughout the toasts.

When he first learned about Qin Ran, Cheng Raohan always thought she would be Cheng Juan’s biggest shortcoming. Who knew that Cheng Juan didn’t have any ambitions, but she had virtually added a lot of chips to Cheng Wenru.

Cheng Wenru’s authority was increasing in the Cheng family.

Cheng Raohan’s potential threat was now her.

Cheng Wenru herself was no different from the past, and the only difference was that she was now close to Qin Ran. Cheng Raohan had also vaguely inquired about Giant Crocodile’s case and realized it had something to do with Qin Ran…

Cheng Raohan said nothing.

He had felt disdainful when his confidant asked him to approach Qin Ran, but now… he already regretted it.

If he had known sooner, he wouldn’t dare underestimate her…

Thinking of this, he took out his phone and sent a message to Ouyang Wei—

[Do you have news of Giant Crocodile?]

In Yunjin District.

Butler Qin was about to hang up on the sofa.

His face was flushed, and he held the phone with shaking hands as he called Film Emperor Qin, who was still in Continent M.

His manager picked up the phone instead.

“Butler Qin, Film Emperor Qin is filming. What’s the matter?” The manager walked aside and lowered his voice.

“It’s great news! God has blessed the Qin family,” Butler Qin murmured, his head floating.

The Qin family had faded out of Beijing for so long, but today, because of Qin Ran’s affairs, the family had once again resurfaced.

As soon as the banquet was over, many elders in the Qin family had called him.

It took him a long time to organize his words, and he slowly said, “Miss Ran Ran was just appointed by Elder Xu to be the heir of the Research Institute!”
