Friend? Cheng Wenru glanced at him in amusent. What kind of friend? Can I et her?
Well see. Cheng Juan squinted absent-mindedly.
As they talked, they had already reached the main villa.
Old Master Cheng, Cheng Raohan, and the others were sitting at the dining table. Cheng Raohans face was dark, obviously very dissatisfied with waiting for Cheng Juan.
Standing at the dining table, Butler Cheng smiled at Cheng Juan and Cheng Wenru and even glanced behind them expectantly. But when he saw no one, his smile faded, and he said stiffly, Miss, Third Young Master.
Cheng Juan was obviously used to it and lightly pulled out the chair to sit. Dad, Brother, Sister-in-law.
Cheng Raohan said with a cold face, Third Bro, cant you co back and do sothing practical? Dont expect to rely on your family forever
What were you two talking about? When Cheng Wenru and Cheng Juan were at the table, Old Master Cheng picked up the chopsticks and interrupted him.
Cheng Raohans expression darkened.
Reaching out for a piece of fish, Cheng Wenru raised an eyebrow. We were talking about the little girl. Her friend is coming tomorrow. Third Bro said shes in a good mood.
Friend? Old Master Cheng asked.
Her deskmate in high school. She also applied for Beijing University, Cheng Juan replied concisely.
Old Master Cheng nodded and remained silent.
Cheng Wenru glanced at Cheng Raohan and smiled. Big Brother, Sister-in-law, were eating together tomorrow. Are you coming?
No. Cheng Raohan glanced at her and rejected her very coldly. I have other matters to attend to.
Cheng Wenru knew that Cheng Raohan had an appointnt with Ouyang Wei tomorrow. She simply smiled without exposing him.
If the Daylily could be found, they could resolve not only Old Master Chengs problems but also talk of cooperation in Beijing with the peddler.
Cheng Raohan would never give up on any opportunities.
You really have a girlfriend? Third Bro, when will you bring her back? Sister-in-law was also from a prestigious family. At this ti, she was smiling gently, but because she wasnt as well-maintained as Cheng Wenru, so fine lines could be seen between her eyebrows.
The others on the dining table pricked their ears when they heard this, waiting for Cheng Juans answer.
Eating slowly, Cheng Juan suddenly chuckled lowly, seemingly amused by sothing she said. His eyebrows were relaxed as he said, Shes just an ordinary person, but her temper is bad. After a while when shes accustod to it, Ill bring her here. I hope you wont bully her then.
Old Master Cheng paused and stared at Cheng Juan involuntarily. Bully her? Why was he so good at tricking people?
Cheng Juan asked calmly, Dad, why are you looking at ?
Old Master Cheng was too lazy to reply.
The others didnt read into their expressions and just exchanged glances. They thought of the rumor that had spread so ti ago. The little girl next to Cheng Juan seed to be from a town village. The Cheng family had made university arrangents for Cheng Juans girlfriend and had sacrificed a lot
After dinner, Cheng Wenru and Cheng Juan sat with the Old Master for a while.
The Old Master lived in the main villa of the big courtyard.
Inside the house was burning sandalwood that cald the nerves. The floor was covered with a heavy carpet, and there was a glass bottle on the table with a piece of green grass inside.
But it was wilting a little and even the leaves were yellowish.
Cheng Wenrus expression turned serious.
After staying for an hour, Cheng Juan ca out with Cheng Wenru.
**
At the sa ti, Cheng Raohan returned to the east wing after eating.
Not long after, a man in a black suit knocked on the door respectfully and then ca in.
How was it? Cheng Raohan sat down at the coffee table and drank tea from the teacup. He put down the teacup and asked when he saw the man.
Miss Ouyang has settled the ti. Itll be at six oclock tomorrow afternoon, the man leaned over and replied.
Ok, tomorrow afternoon at six oclock. Cheng Raohan stood up with his hands behind his back, the joy on his face unconcealed. Go and prepare a gift.
He had made an appointnt with Ouyang Wei tomorrow mainly for the Daylily.
For the first ti in the Beijing circle, soone had appeared in the 129 Club. Ordinary people had never heard of the 129, but these old families in Beijing were well-versed.
129 not only mixed in Beijing but also dipped into international news.
Interpol was looking for 129.
Soone said that whoever could successfully take down 129 would control almost half of the power in Beijing.
Such a temptation was present.
Too many forces were curious about Ouyang Wei. It wasnt an easy feat to make an appointnt with her, and would definitely take more than one bottle when checking various news in the future. At this ti, Cheng Raohan naturally wouldnt be distracted by Cheng Juan.
His relationship with Cheng Juan wasnt very good, so there was no need to waste ti on his little girlfriend and one of her high school classmates.
There were more important things to do tomorrow.

Ting Lan.
Qin Ran practiced the violin upstairs after dinner.
Master Wei had given her a two-month goal plan, from various books to various practices.
According to Continent Ms plan, he gave one book every three days. In total, he had listed 20 books and 10 practice tunes for her.
Ordinary people would find it difficult to read 20 books in two months and to practice 10 tunes proficiently and fluently after reading the books.
Qin Ran pulled her chair and sat down to take out the three books from her black backpack.
As soon as she took it out, her phone lit up. Lin Siran had sent a video.
Picking it up, Qin Ran let it lean on one side of a teacup, then put the book on the table.
Lin Sirans video was a little dark at night, but the car was still visible, and the lights were turned on in the back seat. Ran Ran, well arrive tomorrow.
Ok. Leaning back on the chair, Qin Ran propped her legs up casually. Ill send you the address.
Qiao Sheng and the others said theyll have to wait until school starts. Lin Siran thought for a while and continued, I think Mingyue is waiting for her uncle to co together, but I dont know when.
Qin Ran had been busy the past two days and hadnt contacted Qiao Sheng and the others. After hearing Lin Siran, she also rembered that the Jiang family was going to be stationed in Beijing this sumr.
By the way, the Principal of Heng Chuan has changed, Lin Siran said excitedly. It seems that because of our good results this year, the Principal was promoted!
She ant that she herself had also contributed to the Principals promotion.
Qin Ran was speechless.
After exchanging a few more words, Lin Siran hung up the phone. She knew Qin Ran was practicing the violin recently and didnt want to bother her too much.
Because they brought Mimi along, the Lin family didnt take a plane and drove to Beijing instead.
In the drivers seat, Father Lin glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled. Ill have to thank your deskmate tomorrow.
Mimi has eaten all the Daylilies. Mother Lin was worried while sitting in the passenger seat. Otherwise, it would have been enough to thank Ran Ran. Old Lin, how many bottles do we have left?
One bottle is going to be taken out. All in all, we only have one pot of flowers left. So five bottles? Father Lin estimated.
Although Lin Sirans results had been rather good and she had been top-tier in class 3.9, it wasnt to the extent of getting into Beijing University by herself.
She had done well this ti solely because of Qin Ran.
The Lin family naturally knew their daughters abilities. Such a big improvent was definitely not sothing a few blades of grass could compare to.
After hearing that Lin Siran had only sent a bottle as a graduation gift, the Lin family had taken turns criticizing her for several days.
Lin Siran had made Mimi face the wall in reflection.
Unexpectedly, it went to steal food again.
The Lin family was really troubled by the gift now.

The next day.
At five oclock in the afternoon, Cheng Wenru finally received a text ssage from Cheng Juan while in the office.
Cheng Juans text ssages were always simple and concise.
It was even more so this ti. He just nad the restaurant and dropped the room number.
But Cheng Wenru naturally knew what it ant. Putting down the signature pen in her hand, she stood up with a strong aura between her brows.
Secretary Li stepped forward. Miss?
Im getting off work. Cheng Wenru picked up her phone swiftly. Oh, by the way, have they sent the gift over?
Secretary Li had gone back to the courtyard yesterday with her at night and naturally knew that she was going to see Qin Ran today. He nodded. Its in the lounge, Ill go and get it.
He went to the lounge and took out a delicately packed bag, then followed Cheng Wenru to the car.
Cheng Wenru had always been a strong career woman. This company wasnt owned by the Cheng family but opened with Cheng Juan in the earlier days. After Cheng Juans absence, she had brought the company to prosperity.
She worked overti more than 300 days a year.
Thus, the companys workers all felt very puzzled when she got off work earlier and exchanged glances involuntarily.
Secretary Li, what kind of person do you think that kid is? Cheng Wenru threw the car key to him, then folded her arms and told him to drive.
The Third Young Master said yesterday. Secretary Li mulled over it. Shes probably a very obedient girl.
A few rumors about Qin Ran had been circulating in Beijing recently. Combined with what Cheng Juan had said yesterday, Secretary Li was a little worried. The living environnt could directly affect a person, and it would be troubleso if she couldnt get along with Cheng Wenru
