Chapter 518: Trust That Cannot Be Shaken, Critical Condition

However, Ouyang Wei spoke some reason.

Qin Ran might believe it, but revealing something about 129…

Qin Ran thought about it calmly. In the future, Ouyang Wei would find out that she was from 129. She wondered if she thought that her excuse today would be a little stupid.

1

There was some truth in Ouyang Wei’s words. Qin Ran would believe her, but not fully.

Anyway…

No matter the reason, Ouyang Wei wanted to challenge her and Cheng Juan’s trust level. She would have made a completely wrong move then.

As for what sort of person Ouyang Wei was…

Qin Ran lowered her head and started to think about the situation with the Qin family.

The Qin family was no longer part of the four major families because of the Ouyang family. Later, because of Qin Ling’s affairs, Qin Zhao was sent to prison. Fourth Master Qin took 18% of the equity and transferred it to Qin Xiuchen…

Qin Ran did not chase after the Fourth Master Qin at that time. She didn’t find any evidence of Fourth Master Qin helping Qin Zhao. Most importantly, Fourth Master Qin had the Ouyang family backing him, and Qin Ran wouldn’t dare to voluntarily look for trouble with Fourth Master Qin when Qin Ling was still inexperienced.

After her identity of being the heir of the Research Institute was exposed, Fourth Master Qin probably developed the notion that the Qin family could temporarily regain some power balance.

This was what he gleaned after a discussion with Qin Xiuchen.

But now…

Qin Ran thoughtfully asked Cheng Juan to drink the milk tea. “I think the sudden death of Old Master Qin, or my supposed grandfather, is suspicious.”

“I think so too.” Cheng Juan looked at her for a moment. He was nervous but calmed down and took the milk tea with one hand. He placed his other arm around her shoulders. “After knowing that Tang Jun is your uncle, I also did some investigations. Considering the Hacker Alliance’s abilities, it’s impossible that it did not find information about your grandma. However, no one in the Hacker Alliance found the information, so someone must be distorting the information behind the scenes.”

Cheng Juan hugged her and couldn’t help but stare at the building with gloomy eyes.

After a long while, he closed his eyes and let her go. “Let’s go back first.”

Cheng Juan drove Qin Ran back.

A long time after the car left, Ouyang Wei came out of the cafe and stood by the intersection. She stared in the direction of Cheng Juan’s car.

After some time, she slightly frowned.

She turned around and walked towards the building.

In the building, Cheng Jin was currently sending a business partner off. When he saw Ouyang Wei, he paused, bowed slightly, and said in a distant voice, “Miss Ouyang.”

Ouyang Wei squinted at him. “Cheng Jin, are you calling me Miss Ouyang now?”

Cheng Jin lowered his head and did not answer.

Ouyang Wei retracted her gaze and walked directly to the elevator. She still did not understand.

At the start, only Cheng Mu believed in her, and she could report news about Cheng Juan whenever she liked while the other four avoided her like a snake.

Two years ago, even Cheng Mu got further and further away from her.

Especially Cheng Juan. He avoided her for so many years and did not even step into the capital. Ouyang Wei couldn’t understand why.

She lowered her gaze and concealed the murderous look in her eyes.

She pressed the elevator button

At the same time.

Qin Ran returned to Ting Lan.

When she returned home, Cheng Wenru was sitting in the living room as usual, chatting with Cheng Mu. He looked rather tired.

Seeing that they were back, she directly stood up and looked at Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, I haven’t officially congratulated you yet.”

She exclaimed and talked to Qin Ran for some time before turning to look at Cheng Juan.

“Third Bro, what’s going on? I tried to call you, but you didn’t answer.” Cheng Wenru sighed slightly.

Cheng Mu brought over two cups of tea and handed one to each of them.

Cheng Juan took the teacup casually, glanced at Cheng Wenru, and said lightly, “I didn’t receive your calls.”

Qin Ran lowered her head and did not participate in their conversation. She only bowed her head, sent Lu Zhaoying a message, and asked him about Pan Mingyue.

Too many things had happened recently. She pressed her temple.

Lu Zhaoying did not answer her but called her.

Qin Ran frowned. Cheng Juan and Wenru were talking about something. After some thought, she decided to answer the phone.

Downstairs.

Cheng Wenru looked at Cheng Juan’s face and couldn’t help but massage her forehead. “Cheng Juan, what on earth are you thinking? I told you that dad is critically ill and he doesn’t have long to live. Can’t you go back to take a look?”

Cheng Juan looked out of the window and acknowledged her briefly.

He wanted to light a cigarette but did not do so.

“The elders of the family are electing the next heir tomorrow morning.” Cheng Wenru laughed bitterly. “Dad is still alive, but Big Brother is anxious about being the next heir. Don’t you think it’s ridiculous?”

When she mentioned this, she looked at him again.

Cheng Juan still did not respond.

Cheng Wenru did not say anything more. She stood up with her bag and seemed very angry. “Doctor Gu has already checked him. Dad doesn’t have much time left. If you don’t go back to visit him, it’s on you.”

After that, she immediately left.

Cheng Mu was initially talking to Father Lin happily. But when he overheard their conversation, he was taken aback.

Finally, he glanced at Cheng Juan and realized that his expression was cold.

He couldn’t help but message Cheng Jin.

[The Eldest Lady has said that Old Master is about to die, but Master Juan doesn’t want to see him. Should I persuade him?]

Cheng Jin told him to shut up.

Cheng Mu kept quiet then.

Inside the Cheng family house.

Cheng Raohan and the others were all secretly scheming to win the vote.

“Shi Liming is not sure. The First Hall Master will definitely choose that illegitimate Cheng Juan.” Cheng Raohan sat in the study and spoke to his confidants. “However, that illegitimate child has no intention of being the head of the family. The probability is very high that Qin Ran…”

Cheng Raohan frowned. “She’s unpredictable.”

While they were talking.

Someone came in to report. “Eldest Master, Miss Ouyang is back.”

“Hurry up and invite her inside!” Cheng Raohan quickly stood up. Ouyang Wei was his top mentor.

Soon, Ouyang Wei entered.

Cheng Raohan and his confidants stood up.

“Miss Ouyang.” Cheng Raohan poured a cup of tea for her. “What brings you here today?”

Ouyang Wei smiled. “I heard that the Cheng family is choosing the next heir. I’m here to share some good news.”

With that, she took out a file from her bag.
