“No, Mom. Other than Dad, those people outside are all idiots. They like me the most and think that I’m sensible and obedient. They will believe anything I say.” Qin Xue felt that she had controlled the Qin family very well.

“That’s true. My daughter is so smart and quick-witted. However, Xiao Xue, will that redundant Qin Ran really have no chance to return to the Qin family?”

“That’s exactly what I’m worried about.” Qin Xue’s gaze was filled with calculation. “However, they’ll hold a celebration party for me in a few days. At that time, I’ll shame Qin Ran. In addition, Mom, you’ll also use some tricks. It’s only a matter of time before Qin Ran completely breaks off with the Qin Family.”

There seemed to be footsteps approaching from outside the door. Qin Ran quickly hung up the phone. Then, she turned around and changed her expression to that of the daughter of the Qin family, who was supposed to behave appropriately.

Right now, Mo Chi’s words were all in Qin Ran’s mind. “It’s not easy to digest if you eat too much. Be careful of your stomach aching at night.” Indeed, if she didn’t listen to the old man, she would be at a disadvantage.

“Not feeling well?” Mo Chi felt the little person beside him tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

“A little.” If it weren’t for the fact that the lights had been turned off, Qin Ran’s miserable and aggrieved expression would make one’s heart ache even more.

“I’ll call the doctor,” Mo Chi said as he got up to get his phone.

“No.” Qin Ran grabbed Mo Chi’s arm. “If this gets out, the uncles and aunties at home will definitely laugh at me.” She had gritted her teeth and persevered through the arduous training and perilous missions in the past. Unexpectedly, her twenty-year reputation was defeated by a plate of crayfish.

Hearing the lass’s troubled voice, Mo Chi laughed unkindly. Forget it, forget it. He could only pamper his own child. “Then let me rub it for you.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Ran felt a large hand caressing her stomach. She was very thin. Even if she ate until she was full, her waist size would only be sixty centimeters. Therefore, the man’s hand could almost completely cover her.

The body temperature of men was generally higher than that of women, so even though his hand was only covering her body, she felt much more comfortable, not to mention that Mo Chi was gently rubbing it.

Qin Ran slowly closed her eyes. She didn’t expect that it would already be the second day when she opened her eyes again. After confirming that there was no pain in her stomach, Qin Ran slowly raised her hands and stretched.

“You’re awake.” Mo Chi walked in with a cup of coffee from the balcony.

“Yeah.” Qin Ran rubbed her eyes. “Thank you for last night.”

Upon hearing this, Mo Chi felt the cup of coffee in his mouth become even more bitter. He then looked at the lass’s back view as she got out of bed and washed up. He understood that Qin Ran was still not enlightened and was always too polite and distant with him.

Although the ordinary days were good, they felt like it was passing by quickly. It seemed like they had just found the college entrance examination results, but before they knew it, it was already July 9th.

Qin Ran, who got off work from the bookstore at five o’clock, sat in the business car and played with her phone.

“Today is Xiao Xue’s celebration party. Don’t forget our bet.” The interface showed that the message was sent by Zhang Lan.

From the moment Qin Ran tore up the invitation card, she had never thought of attending any celebration party. She couldn’t be bothered with Zhang Lan’s message.

“Why don’t you dare to reply? Are you scared or you haven’t learned how to bark like a puppy?”

A few minutes later, Zhang Lan’s message flashed again. She wanted to use reverse psychology, but it was a pity that it was useless for someone like Qin Ran who refused to be persuaded. “Why don’t you beg for forgiveness in front of everyone and we will be magnanimous and not take issue with you, a country girl. How about that?”

Is she done yet? Don’t delay me from playing with my phone! Qin Ran was annoyed. She opened the WeChat interface and wanted to blacklist Zhang Lan.

Coincidentally, Zhang Lan sent another message. This news instantly stunned Qin Ran.

“We also have your little jade Buddha. Are you really not going to consider coming to the banquet?”

Qin Ran had started wearing this little jade Buddha when she was ten years old. It was because her adoptive mother saw that she was always injured during training and that the missions she carried out were always filled with danger. She specially went up the mountain to pray for it. Qin Ran still remembered it. In order to express her sincerity, her adoptive mother walked for an entire day. When she came back, she fell seriously ill from exhaustion.

All these years, she had regarded this little jade Buddha as precious as an eyeball. However, after living in the Qin family for two months, it disappeared without a trace. She searched for it for a long time but could not find it. Even until now, she felt sorry for her adoptive mother.

“This is mine. Return it to me,” Qin Ran said agitatedly.

“Sure, as long as you attend the banquet.”

Qin Ran was furious.

“Young Madam, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” Qin Ran took a deep breath and continued, “Butler Zhang, please send me to Tao Yi Hotel.”
