Chapter 204: Is This Professor Chen’s Funeral?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Both men wore black clothes.

The man on the left was thin and his face faintly showed his solemness. His eyes were slightly cloudy and his gait was calm.

On the right side, the man was of a doddering old age. His white hair was clearly visible on his temples and he wore a gray scarf on his neck. His eyebrows were light and his benevolent and kind eyes were somewhat calm.

It was Princ.i.p.al Xu and Master Wei.

It was still snowing outside. So, even though relatives had been dutifully notified, not many people came to see Chen Shulan.

Mu Nan knew almost all of them.

He had seen Master Wei at Qin Ran’s apprentices.h.i.+p banquet before and recognized him, but he had never seen Princ.i.p.al Xu before.

Princ.i.p.al Xu rarely showed up in school and even some teachers found it difficult to see him, much less an ordinary high school student like Mu Nan.

He glanced at Qin Ran subconsciously.

Qin Ran bowed to them before telling Mu Nan, “This is Princ.i.p.al Xu.”

Mu Nan nodded and returned the salute. “Master Wei, Princ.i.p.al Xu.”

Master Wei patted Mu Nan’s shoulder solemnly. He recognized those who had come to the apprentices.h.i.+p banquet last time and said a few words to him, “Mu Nan, if anything happens in the future, you can come to find your Grandpa Wei.”

Princ.i.p.al Xu also glanced at Mu Nan. After all, this was the first relative Qin Ran introduced to him, so he was silent for a moment while Master Wei talked. Then, he showed his amiable att.i.tude and said, “Mu Nan, if you have any problems in the future, come to the princ.i.p.al’s office directly and find me.”

There were other people behind, so the two old men didn’t stay long and went into the funeral hall.

Inside the funeral hall were Ning Qing, Ning Wei, Mu Ying, and some other relatives.

Ning Wei’s movements were inconvenient and she half-knelt by the side.

Ning Qing and Mu Ying mainly received the guests.

Ning Qing was receiving Lin Qi and Old Master Lin.

They stood up after they paid their respects to Chen Shulan.

At this time, Master Wei and Princ.i.p.al Xu also entered. Mu Ying’s face was pale as she bowed to them, but she didn’t recognize them.

She only felt like these two well-groomed men in suits didn’t seem like relatives of the Ning family at all. They had a strong aura, especially the old man on the left, who appeared scarier than Old Master Lin.

Mu Ying thought he was a relative of the Lin family, so she called Ning Qing over.

Ning Qing turned around and saw Master Wei and Princ.i.p.al Xu.

Needless to say, she recognized Princ.i.p.al Xu, whom she had heard was the headmaster of the school.

As for Master Wei…

It was even more obvious. Qin Yu had gone to Beijing to find Master Wei directly.

Qin Yu’s present teacher, Teacher Dai, wasn’t even as good as Master Wei.

As such, Ning Qing was extremely surprised to see the two of them at Chen Shulan’s funeral.

“Princ.i.p.al Xu, Master Wei? Why are you…” Ning Qing’s voice rose.

It attracted the attention of others.

Lin Qi and Old Master Lin were nearest and turned around. They had heard of Master Wei but had never seen him before.

However, Lin Qi knew Princ.i.p.al Xu.

“Princ.i.p.al Xu?” Businessmen were smooth and slick in establis.h.i.+ng social relations.h.i.+ps, so Lin Qi only froze for a moment before reacting.

Master Wei wasn’t as friendly to these people as he had been to Mu Nan.

Chen Shulan had mentioned Qin Ran’s current state of life to Master Wei before, so he was very dissatisfied with Ning Qing.

Naturally, his att.i.tude towards her was cold.

Ever since Master Wei successfully received Qin Ran as an apprentice, Princ.i.p.al Xu looked at him with respect in all aspects. Seeing Master Wei’s indifference to Ning Qing, he didn’t say much either.

After Lin Qi and Old Master Lin recovered from their shock, they actually wanted to become good friends with these two men. After all, there were not many opportunities like this.

However, it was difficult to get close to them, so Old Master Lin said nothing and simply waited to ask Ning Qing later.

“Ms. Ning, my condolences.” While paying his respects to Chen Shulan, Master Wei glanced at the kneeling Ning Wei and couldn’t help but sigh.

He remembered what he asked Cheng Mu the other day as well as what Cheng Mu replied.

Qin Ran neither ate nor slept and knelt beside Chen Shulan’s body for three days.

Outside, Qin Ran asked Mu Nan to enter and entertain the two.

“Master Wei, Princ.i.p.al Xu, over here please.” Mu Nan’s expression was blank, but his att.i.tude was respectful as he brought the two to one compartment.

This was the first relative Qin Ran introduced, so the two of them were naturally very warm to him.

Like an elder, they instructed him to study hard and not be too depressed over the pa.s.sing.

In short, their att.i.tude towards him was obvious.

Mu Nan took them to the compartment.

Mu Ying looked on with a complicated expression on the side, her hands clasped together. During Qin Yu’s apprentices.h.i.+p banquet in Beijing back then, she had heard about Master Wei the most.

Thus, she naturally understood that Master Wei was more powerful than Qin Yu’s current teacher.

After Mu Nan brought them in, Old Master Lin glanced at Ning Qing and asked her about the two elders.

“I’m not sure…” Ning Qing withdrew her eyes from Mu Nan and shook her head.

Once Mu Nan had entertained them, he went out to find Qin Ran.

He was stopped by Ning Qing and Mu Ying also followed.

“Xiao Nan, just now, Princ.i.p.al Xu and Master Wei…” Ning Qing pursed her lips and wanted to ask Mu Nan what was going on.

At the side, Old Master Lin also glanced at Mu Nan. Compared to his previous disregard of Mu Nan and Ning Wei’s relatives, he looked at Mu Nan in a rather amicable manner today.

Mu Nan glanced at them blankly.

Before he could speak, two men of about 30 or 40 years old came in.

Their expressions were imposing and they didn’t seem easy to provoke.

Old Master Lin and Ning Qing recognized one of them.

“You’re Mu Nan, right? Your sister outside told me.” Jiang Hui ignored the others and set his eyes on Mu Nan. He nodded to him and said, “We will meet again in the future. You can just call me Uncle Jiang.”

Jiang Hui thought to himself that this way, he would be in higher seniority than Cheng Juan.

It wasn’t the first time that Feng Loucheng and Mu Nan had met. Feng Loucheng didn’t talk much and it was considered a gesture by nodding to Mu Nan.

They walked to Chen Shulan’s body and respectfully bowed three times to pay their respects.

Jiang Hui had also met Feng Loucheng before, but he had never seen Feng Loucheng so respectful before.

Of course, it wasn’t only towards Chen Shulan, but Jiang Hui also realized that when Feng Loucheng was talking to Qin Ran just now, he was full of… respect.

Jiang Hui paid his respects to Chen Shulan and frowned slightly while glancing thoughtfully at Feng Loucheng.

Jiang Hui and Feng Loucheng were both very busy and couldn’t continue to stay here like Princ.i.p.al Xu and Master Wei. Hence, Mu Nan sent them out after they had paid their respects.

The Lin family and Ning Qing were not able to intervene at all.

They didn’t know Jiang Hui, but since they recognized Feng Loucheng, they knew that he must be no ordinary character. Otherwise, how could he sit and stand with Feng Loucheng?

Uncle Jiang…

Old Master Lin easily thought of Director Jiang.

Regardless of who he was, he was someone the Lin family couldn’t speak to.

When Mu Nan sent them out, Ning Qing, Old Master Lin, and Mu Ying all followed them out.

Outside, both Wei Zihang and Pan Mingyue came wearing solemn black clothes.

Pan Mingyue seemed to be in very bad spirits and her eyes were swollen as she hugged Qin Ran. Wei Zihang held a cigarette on his side, his eyes downcast and his expression hidden.

Qin Ran raised her chin and motioned for them to enter.

She was silent, but her every action brought a sense of indescribable authority.

Once they had entered, she looked at Jiang Hui and Feng Loucheng and very politely greeted them.

Feng Loucheng was more restrained, but Jiang Hui’s authority was more obvious. His family wasn’t easy to provoke in Beijing, so n.o.body in Yun Cheng could possibly go against him.

Even Old Master Lin didn’t dare to look into his sharp eyes.

However, Qin Ran was like a fish back in the water as she hovered between the two, her tone neither humble nor overbearing, and sounding mighty instead.

Between her beautiful eyebrows hid sharpness and bloodshot eyes like a living beast.

This was the second time Jiang Hui met Qin Ran after that time in the police station, and he always felt like he must have had some problems with his eyes back then. How could he have thought that this girl was a little white rabbit?

She was obviously like a wolf.

After the two said something to Qin Ran, they returned to their car. Feng Loucheng saw that Qin Ran was silent, so he finally sighed and still left directly.

How could Ning Qing, Mu Ying, and the others possibly not understand after seeing their att.i.tudes? Feng Loucheng and Jiang Hui’s good att.i.tude to Mu Nan were simply 100% out of respect for Qin Ran.

When Old Master Lin saw Feng Loucheng in the hospital two days ago, his senses of Qin Ran had already been different, and now, his heart was even more unsteady…

Hence, this was needless to say for Mu Ying. She directly dug her fingernails deep into her palm.

Her relations.h.i.+p with Qin Ran back then had not been much different from Mu Nan…

Before they could ask anything, a black car with a red flag parked not far away, bearing the license plate of Beijing.

An elderly person and a middle-aged person came out of the car.

They were well-groomed, dressed in suits, and exuded a scholarly air. They were obviously no ordinary people.

Who were they?

Old Master Lin glanced at Ning Qing, but she shook her head to signify that she didn’t know them.

The two of them stopped in front of Qin Ran, and the old man put his hands behind his back and didn’t speak.

The middle-aged man glanced at Qin Ran and asked, “Excuse me, is this Chen… Professor Chen’s funeral?”
