Chapter 79: I Know Him
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qin Ran was in the kitchen. Ning Wei put the lid on the pot and saw Qin Ran’s heavily bandaged hand when she turned her head.
“Stay there and don’t touch the water.” Ning Wei waved and wanted her to leave.
Qin Ran thought about it and threw the vegetables in her hand back into the bowl of water. However, she didn’t leave and just leaned against the door while squinting her eyes.
Ning Wei thought about Ning Qing’s relationship with Qin Ran and sighed inside, but didn’t force her to go out.
“You found someone to install the air conditioner here, right? It’s not easy for you to earn money, don’t spend it on my house. Although I don’t have many skills, I can still feed my family.” Ning Wei nagged and continued talking. “Also, don’t buy clothes for Mu Nan anymore.”
The last time in school, the bag that Qin Ran had asked Mu Nan to bring back was full of new clothes for him.
Qin Ran stared at the smoky pot and responded absent-mindedly.
Ning Wei knew her temper. Although she had responded, she would probably still buy it.
Several main dishes were ready and the soup had been boiling since morning.
Ning Wei took the soup out first and Qin Ran followed with a few dishes.
The atmosphere in the narrow living room wasn’t very good.
Ning Qing stared at the mobile phone in her hand and lowered her eyebrows. She said nothing while Qin Yu sat beside her, looking worried.
Mu Ying clenched her skirt in her hands, fidgeting.
Ning Wei put the pot on the table and asked, “What’s wrong? What’s with your expressions?”
Ning Qing looked up and slammed the phone on the table.
She didn’t look at Ning Wei. Her eyes fell on Qin Ran and her voice trembled as she asked, “Tell me honestly, where did the money you paid for your grandma’s ward last time come from?”
Qin Ran bent down and put the bowl on the table. Then, she dragged a chair away and sat down at the dining table before answering impatiently, “It’s my own.”
“Then what’s this?” Ning Qing got up from the sofa, picked up the cell phone, and walked over to Qin Ran. She enlarged the picture and showed it to her.
Qin Ran poured a glass of water for herself and leaned against the chair.
It was a picture with a dark background. There were street lights and it was quite blurry, but her face could still be seen clearly in the picture. The person with his back to her couldn’t be seen clearly, but he didn’t look young.
There was a Mercedes at the side.
This photograph was too suggestive.
Qin Ran’s hand paused and she tilted her head. She looked at it for a moment and chuckled.
“Did he give you money?” Ning Qing’s head was about to explode. “You never used the money I gave you, and now... what do you mean by this? Are you deliberately provoking me and taking revenge on me?”
Qin Ran understood what Ning Qing was saying.
She looked up at Ning Qing slowly, her eyes indifferent.
Ning Wei also knew that something was wrong. She grabbed Ning Qing’s hand quickly. “Sister, don’t be impulsive. Talk nicely to her first, Ran Ran isn’t a disobedient child.”
Since she had misunderstood her several times, Ning Qing eased her emotions and looked at Qin Ran. “Tell me, who is this person in the photo? Why did you meet him at such a late timing?”
Qin Ran poured herself a bowl of soup and said casually, “Why should I tell you?”
Ning Qing’s head hurt at such an ambiguous answer and didn’t even want to stay further in the Mu family’s house.
She grabbed her bag and rushed off.
“Sister, you... sigh.” Qin Yu looked at Qin Ran and hesitated. Then, she sighed and chased Ning Qing. “Mother, wait for me!”
Ning Wei still didn’t know what happened.
“It’s nothing,” Qin Ran said calmly.
She finished her soup and ate another bowl of rice. After playing a game with Mu Ying, she left the house and returned to school.

Today was Saturday, and everyone else except those staying on campus was at home.
Those who stayed on campus were either studying or hanging out.
There weren’t many people on the road.
The students from class 3.9 were still discussing. Some people were gesturing to Qin Ran, their motions filled with indignation.
“Ran Ran, why didn’t you answer my call?” Lin Siran dragged Qin Ran over and asked in a suppressed voice. “Did you see the school forum?”
Lin Siran picked her phone and opened the school forum to show Qin Ran—
“Female students nowadays can really do anything for money.”
“Isn’t this girl the freshman in that class?”
“No wonder I saw her using luxury goods even though she has a bad family background.”
“Is this man old enough to be her dad?”
“...” The replies under the post were increasingly intensive.
The comments on the photo were still increasing constantly.
Qin Ran looked at it casually.
At this time, someone knocked on class 3.9’s door and the person at the door stood up straight. “Qin Ran, come out.”
It was a teacher.
Qin Ran returned the phone to Lin Siran and followed after the teacher.
The people in the class stared at her and discussed the matter in low voices when she was gone.
Over here.
Qin Ran followed the teacher to the office where several teachers were sitting.
“This is the case, student Qin.” The Dean recognized Qin Ran from the speech contest last time and had been very impressed by her, so his tone was still quite good. “Someone has reported you anonymously for having unchecked behavior. Do you have an explanation in regard to this?”
“Explanation?” A female teacher glanced at Qin Ran in disgust. “Students nowadays can do anything...”
A few teachers stopped her.
The Dean glanced at her and then turned his attention to Qin Ran, pondering. “Qin Ran, this matter has already spread onto Weibo. It has a bad influence on our school’s reputation and also on you. Can you tell me if you know the person in the picture? Did someone photoshop this, or are you really intimate with him?”
If they didn’t know each other, it would be much easier to settle this issue.
Qin Ran raised her eyebrows slightly and then put down her mobile phone. She looked away lazily and chuckled. “I know him.”
The Dean was stunned.
The female teacher looked at Qin Ran and sneered.
But before she could talk, Qin Ran continued in a calm, unhurried voice, “He’s Feng Loucheng.”
