Secretary Li started the car and drove towards their destination.

“Miss, you’ll have to control your temper later.” At the red light, Secretary Li stopped the car and glanced in the rearview mirror. “Even if there’s something wrong with Miss Qin, don’t say it out.”

Cheng Wenru’s personality was rather p.r.i.c.kly and fussy, so Secretary Li was a little worried about the meeting later.

He was different from everyone else in Beijing. Everyone thought that Cheng Wenru’s company had been founded by her and Cheng Juan in partners.h.i.+p and that Cheng Juan had simply relied on his sister and the Cheng family without putting in any effort.

But Secretary Li had been with them ever since the start of the business. Thus, he naturally knew that in the early days of the company’s establishment, most of the planning had been done by Cheng Juan!

After the company got on the right track, he didn’t even take any dividends and directly transferred his shares to Cheng Wenru.

Of course, Cheng Wenru didn’t take it for granted. She would transfer a sum of money to Cheng Juan’s card at the end of each year.

Secretary Li didn’t want the siblings to have estrangement because of this incident.

Cheng Wenru waved her hand indifferently in reply. “No need for your reminder.”

While they talked, they finally reached the address sent by Cheng Juan.

Secretary Li threw the car key to the security guard and told him to park the car while he followed Cheng Wenru upstairs.

Qin Ran had just arrived.

At this moment, she was slightly leaning on the wall with her legs propped against it. She sent her location to Lin Siran. Lin Siran had been in the city long ago and would come here directly.

She was wearing a white T-s.h.i.+rt today along with a black and white plaid s.h.i.+rt outside. She held a peaked cap in her hand, which she turned around casually.

Her earphones were plugged in on both ears and she was biting on a lollipop.

He Chen was talking to her. “You’re really not coming to the club?”

“After a while.” Qin Ran played casually with her peaked cap. “Matthew hasn’t placed an order recently, has he?”

She was talking about Matthew’s search for Q by hiring Lone Wolf.

“Matthew seems preoccupied with something else lately. Continent M’s forces have been in a mess recently, so how could he be free to place an order?” He Chen unscrewed a bottle of c.o.ke and took a sip. “Also, be careful in Beijing. Your grandma’s matters aren’t so simple.”

“I know.” Qin Ran pulled the peaked cap on the other side and unb.u.t.toned the bottom of her s.h.i.+rt. She smiled casually. “Dad is waiting for them.”

When she finished speaking, she looked up and saw a man and a woman.

Reaching out, she pulled off her earphone and tucked it into her pocket. Then, she turned to give way and walked to the bathroom at the end.

The oncoming man and woman were Cheng Wenru and Secretary Li.

The two parties pa.s.sed by one another.

Without seeing the girl’s face clearly, Cheng Wenru only saw her side-profile and thought she was very pretty.

When Qin Ran entered the bathroom, Cheng Wenru paused and laughed. “Girls these days are quite cool… do you think she’s…” “Stop.” Secretary Li glanced at Cheng Wenru. “Don’t imagine what kind of person Miss Qin is.”

Cheng Wenru felt like this indeed wasn’t good for her future sister-in-law, so she stopped mentioning it and only felt regretful. It would actually be pretty good if her future sister-in-law looked like that…

**

They stopped at the door of the room and Cheng Wenru didn’t knock on the door immediately.

Instead, she tidied her hair, then glanced up and down the clothes she was wearing. She had a business talk this morning and was wearing a white s.h.i.+rt and suit pants. The corners of her s.h.i.+rt were stuffed into her pants, and her hair was also pulled up. She looked like a very smart and capable career woman.

“Secretary Li, do I look out of place?” She tugged at her sleeves and turned around slightly.

Secretary Li’s mouth twitched. “Miss, this is your usual image. It’s very good.”

Nodding, Cheng Wenru knocked on the door three times.

Within a few seconds, Cheng Mu opened the door, holding a teapot in his hand. “Miss.”

He nodded slightly and turned sideways to give way for them.

The five brothers of the Cheng family only obeyed Cheng Juan, especially Cheng Jin and Cheng Shui. Cheng Mu’s att.i.tude was considered the better one among the five brothers.

Cheng Wenru wouldn’t fuss over Cheng Mu’s att.i.tude anyways.

She walked inside and glanced at the dining table calmly.

Cheng Juan was sitting by the window. Cheng Mu poured tea for the empty seat beside him. The girl probably hadn’t arrived yet.

Cheng Wenru’s tense body relaxed and she sat on the seat where she could see the door. She raised a delicate eyebrow and asked, “Where is she? Don’t trick me.”

Cheng Juan leaned back on his chair and replied lazily, “She went to the bathroom.”

Cheng Wenru nodded and chatted distractedly with him.

Before long, the door opened.

Cheng Wenru immediately sat up straight and stared intently at the door.

A rather familiar figure entered. The last b.u.t.ton of her black and white plaid s.h.i.+rt had been pulled and the s.h.i.+rt was now casually draping down. Her brows and eyes were drooping down, but the wildness and brashness in her face were blatant.

Her side-profile looked good, but her face looked even more attractive.

Before seeing her, Cheng Wenru had fantasized about what she would look like. After Secretary Li’s reminder, she had felt like she could accept it even if her future sister-in-law looked a little bad. After all, Butler Cheng had reminded them.

There was a saying in Beijing that it might be impossible to find someone worthy of the Cheng family’s crown prince. Cheng Wenru had also agreed, but after seeing Qin Ran, she felt like this saying could now be changed…

Cheng Mu pulled Qin Ran’s chair for her very skillfully and asked, “Miss Qin, is Student Lin here yet?”

His tone and actions were very respectful.

Because of this, Cheng Wenru and Secretary Li, who had been taken aback, were pulled back to reality.

This time, they were very surprised by Cheng Mu’s att.i.tude.

He had even been dismissive towards Cheng Wenru.

Qin Ran waved casually to Cheng Mu and instructed with ease, “She’s probably reaching soon. Go down and pick them up.”

“Ok.” Cheng Mu nodded. He greeted Cheng Wenru before going downstairs.

“This is my sister.” Cheng Juan saw that Cheng Wenru had yet to react and chuckled lightly before raising his chin and introducing her.

She had been immersed in the business industry for many years, after all, so her reaction was very fast. With a somewhat heroic spirit between her brows, she said in a very gentle tone to Qin Ran, “Ran Ran, right? Sorry for taking the liberty to disturb you today.”

These two met for the first time. One was an elite career woman, while the other was a tyrant in her village and at school. They were clearly two different types of people, but surprisingly, they were quite in sync in one aspect.

They weren’t the slightest bit awkward.

Cheng Wenru was originally sitting on Cheng Juan’s side and facing the door. Halfway through the conversation, she took her bag and moved to sit beside Qin Ran.

Cheng Mu brought Lin Siran’s family inside silently.

The Lin family had come in a van and had parked it downstairs. Father Lin and Mother Lin walked in front, while Lin Siran followed behind them with a small white plastic bag.

Father Lin had met Cheng Juan during the parent meeting for Lin Siran before, so they naturally remembered each other.

He was wearing black trousers that were rolled up along with his s.h.i.+rt sleeves. Carrying a straw hat in his hand, he looked simple and like an ordinary flower farmer.

Cheng Mu poured another gla.s.s of water for Qin Ran, then stood beside Cheng Wenru and whispered, “The Lin family grows flowers and plants. Their daughter was Miss Qin’s deskmate.”

Cheng Wenru nodded calmly, expressing her understanding.

The group of people had a lively meal. Cheng Juan picked up his chopsticks and talked with Father Lin. “How’s your business going?”

“Not very good. A lot was chewed by my pet.” Father Lin shook his head and grimaced.

“That’s really a shame.” Cheng Juan was taken aback and smiled helplessly.

Cheng Mu was speechless at the side. Master Juan was able to say anything for the sake of Miss Qin.

Father Lin had a drink with him.

On this side, Cheng Wenru originally thought she wouldn’t have much to talk about with Mother Lin, but once they started talking, the conversation flowed rather speculatively. Mother Lin’s insights were not like that of an ordinary flower farmer, but of an aristocratic lady.

Most of the people in the group had just met but were already chatting agreeably.

After the meal, Cheng Wenru took out a gift bag and presented Qin Ran with a meeting gift.

It was a diamond necklace that was newly-released.

It looked exquisite and gorgeous even from a distance.

Father Lin also thought of his gift when he saw this. He glanced at Lin Siran.

Lin Siran hesitated and didn’t take it out immediately.

Previously, Lin Siran had gone with the tide and presented her gift after Master Wei and Gu Xichi’s plastic bag. But without Gu Xichi’s plastic bag as a benchmark this time, she glanced subconsciously at Cheng Wenru’s exquisite packaging.

She lowered her head in shame.

Father Lin had already gotten up and was about to leave. He urged Lin Siran. “Hurry up and give Ran Ran the present. We have to get back quickly, Mimi is still waiting for us.”

“Uncle Lin, why didn’t you bring it here?” Cheng Mu thought of the poor cat.

Father Lin laughed. “It’s not suitable for it to come to a hotel.”

He couldn’t help but urge again when Lin Siran still hadn’t brought the present out. “Lin Siran, quickly.”

Picking up the bag slowly, Lin Siran lowered her head and valiantly handed the plastic bag to Qin Ran. “Ran Ran, this is a gift from my parents for your higher education!”
