Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered 173 Do You Think You Own Yun Ding Hotel?

Only a few people knew that Master Wei was in Yun Cheng, and they had already come to visit him in the past two days.

Today, only those from the other province associations had called.

Who else could it be?

Uncle Hai put down the teapot in his hand and walked over to the door.

An old man stood outside the door, wearing reading glasses and a black tunic suit, looking neat and meticulous.

Uncle Hai froze for a moment in surprise before reacting. "Elder… Elder Xu?"

The Xu family generally stayed in their own circle and didn't appear in public, but Xu Yaoguang was acquainted with Master Wei, so Uncle Hai had indeed seen Principal Xu personally before.

It was just that Principal Xu generally didn't interact with other families.

Although Master Wei was still in contact with Xu Yaoguang, he was distant from the Xu family.

After all, it didn't mean the families in Beijing could be close to him just because they tried.

"Excuse me, this is Master Wei's room, right?" Principal Xu glanced at the door number.

"Yes." Uncle Hai hurriedly opened the door. "Please come in."

Uncle Hai closed the door once Principal Xu was inside the room. "Old Master, it's Elder Xu."

Master Wei, who had just put down his phone and was holding a glass of water, stood up and put the cup down in surprise. "Elder Xu, please sit."

He also felt strange inside. He wasn't that close to the Xu family, was he?

Why was Elder Xu looking for him?

Uncle Hai poured a cup of tea for Principal Xu.

"Master Wei, I actually came for one of my students, Qin Ran," Principal Xu said straightaway while holding the teacup in his hand. "I heard that you accepted her as a disciple yesterday."

"Oh, so Elder Xu is here for this matter." Master Wei was surprised but managed to conceal it.

Was it because of Miss Qin again?

Uncle Hai froze for a moment. A character like Principal Xu was also Miss Qin's friend?

But people like Lu Zhaoying had even appeared, so it seemed like a small matter to include someone like Elder Xu.

Uncle Hai thought to himself numbly and stiffly.

"It's not just that." Principal Xu shook his head. He took a sip of tea, fell silent for a while, and then said faintly, "I just wanted to ask you, how did you make Qin Ran agree to learn the violin from you?"

Master Wei was taken aback. He didn't expect Principal Xu to ask this question.

"You also know that I've yet to settle on an heir. These past three years, I've been in Yun Cheng searching for an heir, but she never agreed to it." Principal Xu didn't hide the matter from him, because he really wanted to know how Master Wei had made Qin Ran promise him.

Master Wei nodded while listening.

"Speaking of which, you should have guessed that I'm talking about your disciple, Qin Ran." Principal Xu put the cup on the table and looked up.

"Oh." Master Wei nodded.

He subconsciously took another sip of water.

However, his reaction came a little late.

"Cough—"

He coughed violently and Uncle Hai hurriedly patted his back.

Principal Xu looked at Master Wei's face ruthlessly and wasn't at all sympathetic.

About three minutes later, Master Wei finally came to a halt. He looked up and placed the cup forcefully on the table. "Elder Xu, what did you just say? I seem to have heard wrongly."

Principal Xu repeated himself with a blank expression.

"I know her temper well." Principal Xu looked at Master Wei faintly. "I just want to know, how did you persuade her?"

"Oh." Master Wei was still in a daze and wasn't in the right state. "She definitely can't be persuaded, you will have to find her grandma."

"Her grandma?" Principal Xu nodded.

Then, he stood up very gracefully. "Master Wei, my apologies for taking the liberty to disturb you today. I have booked a table at En Yu tomorrow, I hope you can do me the honor by coming."

Elder Xu left.

The two of them still hadn't reacted to it.

"Did Elder Xu just say that his chosen heir is Ran Ran?" Master Wei glanced at Uncle Hai.

The influence of the Xu family in Beijing was unspeakable and in a completely different direction from Master Wei. Others respected Master Wei and gave him face, but as for the Xu family, they had real power in their hands.

Uncle Hai nodded with difficulty. "Yes… it seems so…"

**

In the hospital.

Ning Qing, Old Master Lin, Lin Qi, and all the important members of the Lin family seemed to be here.

"Mom, Old Master is here to see you." Ning Qing came in and helped Chen Shulan cushion the pillow behind her.

Chen Shulan was low in energy and just glanced at them before coughing twice and saying lightly, "Thank you."

Everyone in the Lin family except Lin Qi and Old Master Lin frowned at her attitude.

In their eyes, Ning Qing's family was only basking in Qin Yu's glory.

At best, Chen Shulan was a rural woman who could live in the VIP ward area of the hospital due to the Lin family's privilege, yet she still carried such an attitude.

But these people didn't say it out loud.

Ning Qing's voice slowed down. "You didn't attend the apprenticeship banquet in Beijing, so we discussed and decided to hold another one in Yun Cheng. The two families can attend and interact with one another for these two days."

Hearing this, Chen Shulan finally opened her eyes. She stared at Ning Qing, then closed her eyes again.

"I'm not going," she said in a sickly, cold voice.

Ning Qing pursed her lips.

Old Master Lin maintained the smile on his face and said, "She's probably tired, you don't have to force her."

His tone was slow and his emotions were unpredictable.

They left the ward, but Ning Qing remained inside.

"Grandpa, this Chen Shulan is too ignorant." A young man frowned.

Old Master Lin put his hand behind his back and said lightly, "She's a countrywoman, there's no need to haggle with her."

The elevator door opened.

An old man wearing reading glasses came out.

Lin Qi had met Principal Xu when Qin Yu started school and naturally knew him, so he froze for a moment before greeting quickly. "Principal Xu."

Principal Xu was too anxious to find Chen Shulan and paused when he heard someone calling him. He pulled down his glasses and didn't have much of an impression of Lin Qi, so he just nodded and didn't say anything.

After he left.

The Lin family walked into the elevator.

When the elevator door closed, Old Master Lin glanced at Lin Qi. "That person just now…"

"He's Principal Xu," Lin Qi said in a low voice. "Three years ago, he became First Middle School's Principal. I heard that he's from Beijing, and every month, an unknown person with a special license plate number comes to find him."

Old Master Lin was jolted and pondered for a while before saying, "He came here because of the former Principal's inefficiency…" The students and teachers of First Middle School all knew this, so it wasn't considered a secret, but nobody knew who Principal Xu was.

After all, in Beijing, much less searching for someone, even mentioning a name could be directly blocked.

"I've already arranged the banquet tomorrow. As for Ran Ran…" Lin Qi stopped talking about Principal Xu and paused at the mention of Qin Ran.

Old Master Lin glanced at him and was silent for a moment before saying, "There's no need to notify her."

At first, he had wanted Lin Qi to win over Qin Ran.

However, fate had it such that because of Meng Xinran, they had no choice but to choose Qin Yu.

At the moment, he felt thankful for the previous incident. Otherwise, Qin Yu's issue had still been unsolved between them, and they might have failed to please both sisters.

Lin Qi sighed and didn't talk about this matter anymore.

**

The school's medical office.

Cheng Juan's table had a few more beakers and flasks on it.

He was also holding a reaction test tube in his hand.

Qin Ran laid down on her side and practiced her writing, but she didn't go for her afternoon class.

Old Gao had been very forgiving to her lately.

Of course, all the other teachers except the Physics teacher had been very indulgent to her.

Although she was a little impatient, she still pursed her lips and wrote word by word slowly.

Jiang Dongye was lying on a chair like a corpse.

Lu Zhaoying leaned on the sofa and raised an eyebrow at Cheng Mu, asking him what was wrong with Jiang Dongye.

"It seems the photo of Gu Xichi in his phone got deleted by someone." Cheng Mu gave Jiang Dongye a sympathetic glance.

He only had one of Gu Xichi's picture and it had been deleted because he courted disaster.

Now was the era of big data and very few people actually printed photos.

If he had known that Gu Xichi had such a big boss hacker supporting him, he wouldn't have courted disaster and would surely have printed thousands of Gu Xichi's photos.

"My uncle is busy again today." Jiang Dongye covered his head with the pillow and put his legs on the table, completely succumbing to his bad luck. "He told me to contact Qian Dui, so I went to his workplace a few times and still couldn't find him…"

At the mention of this, Cheng Mu and Lu Zhaoying looked at Jiang Dongye with an even weirder expression.

Neither of them dared to tell Jiang Dongye that not only had they seen Jiang Hui yesterday night, but Qian Dui as well…

"I'll go find Qian Dui again." Jiang Dongye looked at the time on the phone and stood up. He looked around and glanced at Qin Ran, who was still lying on the table. "She… has no class?"

It was almost three o'clock, and according to the schedule of high school students, wasn't she just getting off her first lesson?

Cheng Mu said lightly, "Her teacher doesn't care."

Jiang Dongye froze, then he thought about how she had scored a total of 646 excluding her Physics, coughed, and left with his coat.

Qin Ran finished another page.

The phone in her pocket vibrated.

She took it out absentmindedly.

It was a message from Qin Hanqiu.

She raised her hand and threw the pen onto the table.

Qin Ran leaned back on the chair and directly called him, her voice slightly lowered. "Dad?"

Qin Hanqiu sounded very happy and said in a rather loud voice, "Ran Ran, I just came to Yun Cheng today. Come out tomorrow after school, I'll bring you to a good meal."

Qin Ran flipped through her copybook and raised an eyebrow. "Why did you come here suddenly?"

"The Lin family invited us, so I came with your grandma and the others." Qin Hanqiu paused and then said a little cautiously, "And your brother too. If you don't like it, I won't bring him along…"

Qin Ran closed the book, pressed her temple, and thought for a while. "Where are you now?"

"We just got off the bus at the bus station," Qin Hanqiu answered in a loud voice. "The Lin family's car is driving us to the hotel."

He had sent her a message the moment he got off the bus.

Qin Ran glanced at Cheng Juan, who was looking at something under a microscope. She stood up, took two steps to the side, and whispered, "Which hotel?"

Qin Hanqiu told her the hotel name.

Coincidentally, it was the same hotel where Master Wei and Gu Xichi were staying.

Qin Ran still wanted to ask Gu Xichi several things, so she said, "Okay. Wait there, I'll go find you."

**

Half an hour later, at Yun Ding Hotel, the only international five-star hotel in Yun Cheng.

It was a hotel under Yunguang Consortium.

It was definitely a first-class place in terms of confidentiality.

By the time Qin Ran arrived, Qin Hanqiu and all the Ning family's relatives were all in the lobby.

Qin Hanqiu was wearing a new trench coat and his face was a little tanned. He was anxiously saying something to a short-haired woman, nodding and bowing with a flushed face.

A 10-year-old little boy stood beside him.

The short-haired woman stood beside two men in black, who were either assistants or bodyguards.

The other relatives of the Ning family stood very far apart as if they didn't know Qin Hanqiu.

"What's going on?" Qin Ran approached, frowning.

The short-haired woman glanced at Qin Ran and paused on her uniform. She raised a sharp eyebrow and didn't tell her anything, just looked at Qin Hanqiu lightly. "We'll wait for the police to come first."

Qin Ran looked to the side and saw a young woman behind the bodyguard and the short-haired woman.

It was rather cold, so she wore a dress and a coat.

She had wavy curls and looked very charming.

She was wearing black sunglasses and her face couldn't be seen clearly, but someone was taking pictures of her not far away, so she was probably a celebrity.

Aunt Zhang was responsible for the Ning family's accommodation, so she called Lin Qi now and ignored Qin Ran. If this incident became a big problem, it would affect the Lin family the most.

Her expression was dark and she looked extremely irritated.

"Xiao Ling bumped this Miss Li just now and her necklace was missing, so your cousin's mother said that Xiao Ling took it. Although Xiao Ling is disobedient, he really didn't do it…" Qin Hanqiu pursed his lips. "Ran Ran, don't come over, the police are arriving soon."

The Ning family had already distanced themselves and Aunt Zhang didn't even want to talk to them.

Qin Hanqiu didn't want to implicate Qin Ran.

Qin Ran was pretty clear about the situation after hearing this. She glanced at Qin Ling and said quietly, "Wouldn't you know after looking at the monitoring video?"

Aunt Zhang glanced at Qin Ran and smirked a little when she heard Qin Ran say something only an ignorant country bumpkin would.

The short-haired woman glanced sharply at Qin Ran and suddenly laughed. "Do you think you own Yun Ding Hotel? Can you see the monitoring video as and when you like?"

Qin Ran raised an eyebrow after hearing this.
