Chapter 157: A Family You Really Should Not Provoke

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Every year, Yun Cheng Heng Chuan’s First Middle School competed fiercely with Yun Cheng’s First Middle School.

The two old schools would secretly fight to achieve first place in the number of people who reached the undergraduate level, the number of key points obtained, and the number of dark horses that had climbed up the provincial rankings.

Yun Cheng First Middle School was a little more literary, while Heng Chuan leaned more towards natural sciences.

Song Luting was so famous because he had taken first place in the city’s science competition when he was only a freshman in Yun Cheng’s First Middle School!

He was first not only in the city but also in the country.

This incident made Heng Chuan, a school leaning towards natural sciences, extremely depressed.

Every year, many students entered Beijing University as top scorers, but there was only one top scorer in the nation each year. Besides being the nation’s top scorer, Song Luting was also good-looking and so garnered a lot of attention when he came to Beijing University.

The people at Beijing University could only bow down to him after learning that he had not only suppressed many foreign students in high school and won first place in the Physics competition but had also become the disciple of the Physics department Dean after coming to Beijing University.

Unsurprisingly, he suppressed many seniors and became first in the Physics department.

Lin Jinxuan was known by the people in Yun Cheng’s dormitory, so naturally, the people around him knew that he had a very powerful fellow townsman.

But Song Luting always followed the Dean of the Physics department, so the two only met at various conferences and never actually spoke.

Lin Jinxuan didn’t mention these details.

Although he knew about this, Lin Wan and Ning Qing clearly didn’t.

Lin Wan wasn’t from Yun Cheng and naturally didn’t pay attention to Yun Cheng’s gossip. Qin Yu was a high school student and only focused on her own goals, so she had only just glanced briefly at the news of the examination students whom she didn’t know.

The people around Qin Ran were either hoodlums or gangsters.

As the saying goes: “Birds of a feather flock together”. Given Qin Ran’s achievements, she was basically in this kind of people’s company. In Qin Yu’s eyes, she would never be able to climb into the circle even after a few years.

She didn’t say this to Lin Jinxuan, yet Lin Jinxuan had dropped a bomb on them.

Qin Yu was genuinely shocked, because she never thought that a school nerd would know the school bully, and they even seemed very familiar.

Before she could say anything, Lin Jinxuan told them he was going to find Qin Ran, and Ning Qing also followed after him.

Qin Yu pursed her lips and followed them.

Song Luting had also encountered Qin Ran on the road.

He didn’t have time to take Qin Ran around the campus before going to class and hurried back to his dormitory to get some things.

Lin Jinxuan arrived just after he left.

“Where are you staying now? When are you going back?” Lin Jinxuan glanced at Song Luting’s back, then turned to look at Qin Ran, frowning slightly.

Qin Ran nodded at him politely in greeting. “I’m going back to Yun Cheng tomorrow. I have some other matters, so I’ll leave first.”

Ning Qing trotted over and, before she could say a single word, Qin Ran greeted Lin Jinxuan, lowered her head, and pressed her sweater hat down before leaving.

Lin Jinxuan frowned and glanced sideways at the three women who had followed him. Then, he said politely, “Auntie, Aunt Ning, I won’t send you off. I don’t think I have time to go to the banquet tomorrow.”

The Shen family’s car was parked in the parking lot.

Qin Yu stared at Lin Jinxuan’s back and pursed her lips, but she sneered several times in her heart. Qin Ran wasn’t conspicuous on the outside, but her methods were truly impressive.

She turned to look at Ning Qing. “Mom, how does Sister know Song Luting?”

Ning Qing thought of Song Luting. “He seems to be from Ninghai Town…”

Lin Jinxuan didn’t tell them that the Dean of the Physics department was Song Luting’s teacher.

Lin Wan wasn’t clear and only said lightly after hearing Ning Qing’s explanation, “There are many top scorers at Beijing University, but how many of them are actually distinguished? It’s not like Yu’er can’t get into Beijing University.”

Beijing was a big dye tank where many unfair things happened, so the people with no background could only climb up after having their head broken and their blood flowing.

It was extremely rare to see them climb up.

It was like anticipating a carp’s transformation into a dragon.

In Beijing, any random person had an extraordinary background. Such people were common, so after seeing Song Luting, Lin Wan could only compliment that he was rather excellent.

Lin Jinxuan didn’t chase after Qin Ran as she walked away slowly.

She walked into the sea of people and couldn’t be seen after half a minute.

He stood there frowning.

The phone in his pocket rang; it was a phone call from Feng Ci. Lin Jinxuan picked up and stopped walking.

Then, he called Lin Qi.

“Don’t worry about this matter.” After hearing Feng Ci’s description, Lin Qi was silent for a while. Qin Ran’s reaction was as he expected. “I won’t have time to go to your sister’s apprenticeship banquet tomorrow, but you should try to go if you’re free.”

They didn’t say much.

But Lin Qi’s reaction caused Lin Jinxuan’s heart to sink.

He was so smart that he naturally thought that Qin Ran must have had a quarrel with the Lin family after he had left Yun Cheng.

Otherwise, Lin Qi would have asked further.

And Qin Ran wouldn’t avoid him like that.

Qin Ran returned to the hotel.

She took a look at the transparent bottle in her backpack first.

A piece of paper with the word “Q” was pasted on it, and she peeled it off and threw it away.

After looking at it for a while, she put the bottle on the table and took out the piece of paper with messy handwriting on it.

There were many professional terms on it, most of which was especially used in the medical department. She casually took a look at it and then put them back in her backpack.

Lowering her head, she continued writing her unfinished music score.

This time, the inspiration had been kept in her mind for a long time. Be it the selection of the tone or the beat speed, she had a plan in her heart and worked hard to write it down. At her feet was a pile of crumpled waste paper.

When it was seven o’clock in the evening, she took a picture of the frame and sent it to Yan Xi.

Yan Xi was recording the theme song of a movie in his studio.

He was always very serious about music and didn’t leave until the next afternoon, so his cell phone was with his manager.

Managers usually kept the entertainers’ cell phones so as to avoid missing important calls.

His phone lit up and the manager waiting outside yawned involuntarily. He took it out and glanced at it to see a WeChat picture splayed across the lock screen without any text.

It was a very simple and clean WeChat message.

The manager looked up subconsciously, and when he saw who had sent the WeChat message, his sleepy mind was suddenly sobered.

He couldn’t care that Yan Xi was still recording a song and immediately rushed in through the door.

At the same time.

In a coffee shop on the pedestrian street of Beijing.

Qin Yu finally found an opportunity to meet Xu Yaoguang and hand him the invitation.

“Tomorrow is my apprenticeship banquet hosted by the Dai family.” Qin Yu stirred the coffee with a spoon and looked up at Xu Yaoguang, her attitude clearly more casual than before. “You should think about whether you want to return to Yun Cheng tomorrow.”

Qin Yu spoke lightly.

The Dai family was a new aristocrat in the capital. Recently, they had been secretly competing with the Wei family and were extremely sharp.

Furthermore, Dai Ran held the second-highest position in the circle. Although he only ran errands for Master Wei, he had indeed come to know many dignitaries and nobles thanks to Master Wei’s reputation.

In all aspects, his position was a lot higher than the Shen family.

So much so that Qin Yu’s status in the family had now improved.

She hurried back and left after saying a few words to Xu Yaoguang.

Xu Yaoguang was deep in thought and also replied simply to Qin Yu before she got into the Shen family’s car and left. He stood at the intersection with the cold wind blowing against him until a very low-key car with a flag drove over.

People at the intersection couldn’t help avoiding the car when they saw it.

In Beijing, all sorts of luxurious cars could be seen.

But after staying here for a while, they found that the low-key cars with the red flag belonged to families that really couldn’t be provoked.

The Xu family didn’t live in the villa area but in an old alley. It wasn’t opened to the public and had guards guarding every exit.

They were basically a big courtyard of houses, and the older generation naturally liked to call them a big residence.

The area seemed wide, but there was actually only one house in each alley.

It had always been handed down to the noble and honorable families that hadn’t waned.

The car parked in front of a large residence.

The butler waiting outside came to open the car door.

Xu Yaoguang handed him the invitation and walked down the corridor to the main courtyard.

The butler followed three steps behind Xu Yaoguang, and when Xu Yaoguang returned to his room, he looked down and turned over the invitation.

A maid passing by glanced at it and didn’t recognize it. “Shen family? Dai family? What kind of apprenticeship banquet would involve our Young Master?”

The butler glanced at it lightly and threw it aside.

There were many invitations sent to the Xu family every day.

They generally ignored them all except for a few banquets.

In the room.

The courthouse yard had been renovated. The Xu family was relatively modern and Xu Yaoguang lived in a separate courtyard.

As he sat down on his desk in front of his computer, Qiao Sheng told him to go online to play games in the arena with him.

“Young Master Xu, you’re coming back to Yun Cheng at three o’clock tomorrow?” Qiao Sheng chose the card in the game and asked. “You all went to Beijing and left me alone in school. It’s so boring.”

“Yeah,” Xu Yaoguang leaned back and responded casually. “Who else came to Beijing?”

He thought of Wei Zihang.

“Sister Ran. She took the same leave as you.” Qiao Sheng entered the arena and summoned his cards. “I was eating with Wei Zihang when he heard that Sister Ran went to Beijing, so he bought the latest flight that night and flew over.”

Xu Yaoguang had asked around in the concert hall and knew that Wei Zihang had been in Master Wei’s room along with an unknown person.

But after hearing Qiao Sheng’s words, he suddenly looked up. “Who else did you say is here in Beijing?”
