Chapter 285: Nature-Defying Sister Ran
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Everything happened too quickly. Lin Wan stared at Qin Ran numbly, seemingly at a loss.
When she first came to this banquet, she had heard Qin Yu talk about Master Wei and his apprentice. Then, she had also heard many others mention this while following Dai Ran.
But later, she didn’t think that Qin Ran was the same person she knew.
Until now, Dai Ran’s words pulled her back to reality violently.
Lin Wan murmured, “It turns out that Master Wei’s disciple is really her?”
This sentence made Dai Ran even more certain that Lin Wan knew Qin Ran. He squinted his eyes involuntarily and said regretfully, “If only I knew you were acquainted, I would have gone to you directly. I wouldn’t have let Master Wei beat me to it...”
He sighed and then looked down at Qin Yu. “But this Qin Ran just came to the association. Only two months are left before Continent M’s Association is open, so she can’t compete with you for this year’s quota. Otherwise, you might be in danger.”
Dai Ran estimated that Qin Yu could reach the sixth grade in two months.
After being in the association for ten months, Qin Yu had successfully gone from the fourth to fifth grade at the end of last year. Now, she was expected to reach the sixth grade after half a year.
Qin Ran’s talent was terrifying, and in two months, she could probably reach the sixth grade for the most part.
Fortunately, Qin Ran was one year older, so the association would choose Qin Yu.
At this moment, Qin Yu didn’t even have the heart to listen to Dai Ran’s words.
She just looked down at her hands. From the moment she arrived in Beijing and then stepped into Continent M, she had drawn a line from her previous life. She now disregarded Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ran and had even refuted Qin Ran for not knowing the violin...
She didn’t even have the heart to participate in the banquet.
Qin Ran could play the violin?
And she was even a student who reached the fifth grade as soon as she entered the Violin Association?
She was Master Wei’s apprentice?
What the f*ck! What was wrong with this world?!
**
Qin Ran didn’t know that Lin Wan and Qin Yu were going berserk because of her. She followed Master Wei and met various individuals all night.
Other than Engel, the others were Master Wei’s core contacts in Beijing.
“Teacher Wen Yin, you two should be very familiar.” Master Wei introduced another man to Qin Ran. “This is our Vice President Liu of the Beijing Association. You can find him if you need anything in the future...”
This circle was full of people from the Violin Association. They all stood up when Master Wei and Qin Ran came over.
Qin Ran greeted them very politely.
After the introduction, Master Wei took her to another circle.
When Master Wei and his party left, Vice President Liu and the others exchanged glances, and one person said, “Old Wei really accepted an apprentice. Otherwise, I’m really afraid that he would really be just a mere figurehead in the Beijing Association. But one person isn’t enough.”
“This person is better than all the current Beijing Association students.” Another person squinted and laughed.
“That’s true. It took Qin Yu four months to reach the fifth grade from the fourth. She has been in the fifth grade for half a year and has not reached the sixth grade yet.” Someone beside took a sip of wine and looked away, falling deep in thought. “I wonder which of them will reach the sixth grade first?”
“It’ll surely be Qin Yu. She already studied in the Violin Association for more than half a year after reaching the fifth grade. Although Qin Ran’s talent is terrifying, I think she’ll only reach the sixth grade in four or five months.”
The others thought of this speed and couldn’t help but smack their lips.
Even if Qin Yu reached the sixth grade first, it didn’t mean she was better than Qin Ran. The Beijing Violin Association counted time.
Ever since the end of last year, Qin Yu had spent seven months and had yet to pass the sixth grade, even though it was said that she would reach it soon. Qin Yu’s speed was already considered high in the Beijing Association. Some people studied for three years and still couldn’t reach the sixth grade.
But these seniors estimated that Qin Ran only needed four or five months to reach the sixth grade...
Wen Yin stood at the side while drinking, listening to their conversation but not participating in it.
“Director Wen, what’s Qin Ran’s origin?” Vice President Liu noticed him and turned to him with a wine glass. “Do you think she can reach the sixth grade in a few months?”
Wen Yin also raised his glass and said concisely, without revealing anything, “I’m not sure.”
“Could it be... three months?” Vice President Liu paused at the sight of Wen Yin’s reaction.
Wen Yin smiled. “Master Wei is calling me. You guys talk first.”
Actually... she could be even more nature-defying.
After greeting Vice President Liu, he walked over to Master Wei.
Wen Yin’s expression was really intriguing. Vice President Liu stared at him and couldn’t help but squint. “Could it be... two months?”
The person beside him heard his muttering and turned around to ask, “Vice President Liu, what two months?”
“Nothing.” He shook his head, instinctively feeling that it was impossible.

After following Master Wei around, Qin Ran finally found Cheng Juan and Cheng Wenru.
Zhang Xiangge quickly put down the wine glass in his hand when he saw her. “Miss Qin.”
Qin Ran squinted at him and nodded. “We meet again.”
Although she had only exchanged a few words with Zhang Xiangge previously, she had a good memory.
This made Zhang Xiangge very surprised, and even a little flattered. He remembered Qin Ran because she was a difficult person to provoke, so he had ingrained her clearly in his mind. Furthermore, her looks and temperament were generally hard to forget.
But she actually remembered him?
Zhang Xiangge glanced at Cheng Juan. “I heard that Miss Qin entered Beijing University. I also know a few people from the Student Union at Beijing University. Miss Qin can call me if she’s unfamiliar with anything.”
Cheng Juan touched his chin and looked at him. “Sure.”
Zhang Xiangge immediately gave Qin Ran his contact information and took the opportunity to add her WeChat.
Cheng Wenru had waited for Qin Ran and was filled with a bellyful of questions.
Not only about Master Wei, but also about her drawer...
But there were too many people at the banquet, and many guests also came to her or Qin Ran for a toast, so Cheng Wenru held back.
It wasn’t until the end of the banquet that Cheng Wenru left with Cheng Juan and Qin Ran.
“Secretary Li, drive my car back.” Cheng Wenru sat in Cheng Juan’s back seat.
She also dragged Qin Ran to the back seat and let Cheng Juan drive.
Without saying anything, Cheng Juan just glanced at her before starting the car.
Zhang Xiangge sighed in relief when their car drove away.
The phone in his pocket rang. Zhang Xiangge looked down and saw a message from his rouge friends—
[Ouyang Wei will have a game in a few days.]
In the past, Zhang Xiangge would definitely grasp this opportunity and not let it pass. After all, in Beijing’s circle, Ouyang Wei was the most honorable and sought-after prestigious lady, be it her status as part of the Ouyang family or as Ouyang Wei herself...
But now, he turned down his rogue friends.
Ouyang Wei’s thoughts were no secret in the circle. If he went to her game, he would have to answer all her questions. After all, he couldn’t afford to offend her, so the only solution was to avoid her.
His rogue friends were a little confused. “What’s wrong with him? Isn’t Zhang Xiangge a ‘socialist’? Why isn’t he coming for such a good opportunity? And Cheng Mu, he used to run over faster than anyone at the mention of Miss Ouyang...”

In the car.
Cheng Wenru finally found an opportunity to talk to Qin Ran.
“Ran Ran, where did you buy the Daylilies in your drawer?” Without the presence of outsiders, Cheng Wenru seemed a little casual, but her voice was anxious.
Qin Ran tilted her head and looked out the window. She said in a somewhat absent-minded tone, “No, a friend gave them to me.”
Cheng Wenru was speechless.
She was at a loss for a moment.
At the red light, Cheng Juan stopped the car and placed his hands on the steering wheel. He glanced at the rearview mirror and chuckled.
“Then, do you know why there are no Daylilies in the market this time?” After a long while, Cheng Wenru finally asked the question that bothered her most. “Will there be more in the future?”
She naturally didn’t ask her who the seller of the Daylily was.
Since the seller was hiding his identity so mysteriously, he certainly didn’t wish to be exposed, and Cheng Wenru didn’t want to make things difficult for Qin Ran either.
“Oh, I know this...” Qin Ran put her chin in one hand and thought for a while before answering very seriously, “Because their pet was disobedient and chewed off the blades of grass.”
Cheng Wenru was once again speechless.
Before receiving this answer, she had given it many thoughts. For example, difficulties in growing it, or being murdered by an enemy, or facing vicious competition...
The only thing she didn’t expect was it had been chewed off by a pet?!
At the high-end apartments in the financial center.
Cheng Juan parked the car at the gate and turned sideways to Cheng Wenru with his hand on the back of the chair. He said politely, “We’ve reached your house.”
Cheng Wenru got out of the car silently, then said goodbye to Qin Ran. When she turned to leave, she seemed to hear Cheng Juan saying “co-pilot seat” to Qin Ran...
She glanced at his car and snorted. “Such a day has come for this kid too...”
While talking, she also took out her phone to call Old Master Cheng.
She had to report to him that the Daylily was not extinct yet.

Inside the house.
When Cheng Raohan just returned home, he finally got a reply from Ouyang Wei. Without hesitation, he directly took his men to the main villa to find Old Master Cheng.
Although it was past nine pm, Old Master Cheng was still playing with the bird and wasn’t asleep.
“What’s the matter? Why are you looking for me so late?” Old Master Cheng seemed to be in good spirits. When he saw Cheng Raohan, he put down the bird feed in his hand.
He motioned for them to sit down.
Butler Cheng brought them tea.
Impatient, Cheng Raohan said directly, “Dad, I just got a reply from Ouyang Wei. I’ll be meeting the buyer of the Daylily tomorrow and I’ll bring it back for you.”
