Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

“She won’t. It won’t be that easy for her to sever off all ties and leave.” Mrs. Qin finally took out the red string. “Look, Xiao Xue, this is the string that she left for me that day. She promised in front of everyone that she would agree to it as long as I begged her with the gold beads.”

She finally took out the gold beads.?Qin Xue hid her joy beneath her appearance. “That’s what Sis said. Everyone present could testify.”

“Tomorrow. Tomorrow, I’ll find this wretched girl and let her marry into the Fu family.”

Just as the three of them were talking, the phone rang again. Thinking that it was another call from the famous schools to invite Qin Ran, Mrs. Qin picked up the phone and wanted to scold them. However, a familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Sister Fu!” Mrs. Qin spoke in a warm and friendly voice. However, compared to the Fu family’s phone call, Mrs. Qin was more willing to receive harassment calls.

“We still need some time to prepare. Our daughter is still young and she always says that she wants to stay at home for a while.” The Fu family was probably rushing for the marriage again. Their only son was lying on the bed. It was unknown where Mrs. Fu heard the news from, but she actually said that marriage was the most effective to counteract the bad luck and forced the Qin family to get married as soon as possible.

“My heart aches for Fu Li too, so don’t worry. I’ll have a good talk with her father tonight. After I’m done, I’ll send our daughter over.

“Alright, alright. I’ll definitely give you an answer tomorrow.

“Sigh!” Mrs. Qin hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. As the saying goes, the higher the rank, the greater the pressure. This saying also applied to the business circle. After all, the Fu family’s business scope was wider than the Qin family’s, and the Fu family’s monthly income was higher than the Qin family’s annual income. Therefore, they had to look at the other party’s face for everything. Even when the other party’s son met with an accident and became a cripple, they could not use this as an excuse to end the engagement. Instead, they had to smile and take all the blame.

However, it will get better tomorrow because Mrs. Qin decided to look for Qin Ran tomorrow.

In the morning, Qin Ran sat in the living room and drank the milk obediently. She leisurely watched Mo Chi peel an egg for her.

“You can only go to work after you finish eating.” Mo Chi rushed to the meeting, but he still didn’t forget to instruct Qin Ran to eat her breakfast.

Qin Ran nodded quietly and drank the milk in her cup in one gulp. However, the sound of a new text message was heard. When Qin Ran opened it, her expression instantly changed.

“Qin Ran, meet me at the corner cafe near the Qin Residence at 10 AM. One gold bead for a condition. I hope you’ll keep your word.” It was a message from Mrs. Qin, Zheng Rong. Even though the contact had been deleted a long time ago, she had been trained in the National Security Bureau for more than ten years and had photographic memory.

Qin Ran knew that she would come to beg her. She could also guess what she wanted this time. However, she never expected that the Qin family would be unable to hold on for so long.

Qin Ran slowly chewed the eggs on the plate and drank two mouthfuls of soup before she said to Butler Zhang who was waiting by the side, “Uncle Zhang, you don’t have to send me to the bookstore this morning.”

Shortly after, Qin Ran called the manager of the bookstore and asked for leave. She then went to the garden for a walk and watered her favorite flowers before she changed her clothes and left.

Initially, she wanted to take a cab there herself, but Butler Zhang was still worried and insisted on following her. However, Qin Ran really didn’t want to bring the Qin family’s matters to the Mo Residence. She only agreed to let the two bodyguards drive behind the cab.

Qin Ran alighted from the taxi and tightened the shoulder bag on her back. She carefully looked inside the cafe and saw Mrs. Qin sitting by the window.

“Why are you looking for me?” Qin Ran had not even sat down and went straight to the point.

“Do your words on stage still count?” Mrs. Qin’s attitude remained cold.

“I wouldn’t be here if it didn’t count.”

“Alright, since it counts, then letting you marry into the Fu family is not against the law, harming people, or letting down the country. You have to do it!”

She couldn’t help but be impressed by how unyielding she was when she was begging for help.

“If it’s about this matter, I can’t agree with it.” Qin Ran looked out of the window. The birds on the branches outside the window were flying about happily. She would probably never understand how dark a parent’s heart could be.

“Why?!” These words were squeezed out from the gaps between Mrs. Qin’s teeth. She was furious and her face was ferocious.

“Because it’s illegal.” Qin Ran still refused to look at Mrs. Qin directly.

“How is it illegal? What kind of law is it? Do you think others are fools just because you became the top scholar in the college entrance examination?”

“Bigamy.” She never thought that Mo Chi, who had dragged her to register their marriage that day, would be a perfect shield for her.
