Chapter 117 - : I Already Knew

Neither of them noticed Qin Xue, who was hiding at the back door. She didn’t hear the details of the conversation clearly because the self-study room was very large, and Qin Ran and Wu Bei were standing in the first few rows, plus there was a door between them.

However, judging from the state of the two of them when they left, Qin Ran had not agreed to be Professor Wu’s disciple.

The more this was the case, the more Qin Xue hated Qin Ran in her heart. Why was it that Qin Ran didn’t like the spot that she had worked hard for since she was young and threw it aside without any care? Why? She was clearly much more outstanding than Qin Ran.

Could it be because of the experiment just now that she did not do as well as Qin Ran?

The more Qin Xue thought about it, the angrier she became. She clenched her fists tightly and swore in her heart that she would definitely become Professor Wu’s last disciple. In the future, she would definitely trample Qin Ran under her feet.

After school this afternoon, Mo Chi actually came to pick Qin Ran up personally.

“Why are you here?” Qin Ran realized that when she opened the car door and saw Mo Chi, her heart was filled with joy. Unknowingly, her liking and dependence on this man had deepened.

“I’m here to pick you up from school. Come, have some of this first,” Mo Chi said as he took out a bag of potato chips.

Qin Ran was even more delighted. It was great. Every time Mo Chi came, she would be able to eat delicious food as soon as she got into the car.

The Tian Mo Corporation was extremely busy today, but Mo Chi still left behind a mountain of documents to pick Qin Ran up. He had something to tell her, which was not good. He was afraid that the young lady would be sad after hearing it, so he deliberately rushed over to accompany her.

Mo Chi did not let the driver drive straight back to the Mo Residence. Instead, he took a detour to Yushan Park.

“Why are we here?” Qin Ran asked, but she got out of the car obediently under Mo Chi’s care.

“The sunset is very beautiful today. I wanted you to see it.” Mo Chi held Qin Ran’s hand tightly as the two of them walked forward step by step.

Everyone in Xuanchuan City knew that there were no mountains in Yushan Park, but there was a large lake. When the sun set, the colorful clouds on the horizon matched the reflection in the water. From afar, it looked like an oil painting.

Today, what appeared before Mo Chi and Qin Ran was this beautiful scenery.

“Ranran, do you still have feelings for the Qin family?” Mo Chi asked carefully as the two of them sat on a bench by the lake and admired the scenery.

“No.” Qin Ran wasn’t saying it out of anger, but she was telling the truth. To her, the Qin family was worse than strangers.

“That’s good.” Mo Chi understood that the young lady in front of him was not a person who said one thing but meant another. “I met Qin Yang this morning.”

Mo Chi had already investigated the matter that Qin Yang mentioned in the morning by afternoon. It had been nearly twenty years since then, so it was indeed not easy to investigate if it was an ordinary person. However, he was Mo Chi, the regiment commander and the boss of the Military and Political Affairs Office. These identities provided a lot of help for him to investigate this matter.

“Why did you meet him?” She didn’t care about Qin Yang, but she was very concerned about Mo Chi.

“Ranran, have you ever suspected Qin Xue’s identity as an adopted daughter?” Mo Chi didn’t answer Qin Ran’s question and asked her instead.

Why did he suddenly mention Qin Xue? Although she was puzzled, she still nodded truthfully. “I did, but I already know very well who she is now.”

“Who is she?” Could it be that Qin Ran already knew what he wanted to say?

“She’s the illegitimate daughter of Qin Chong and Zhao Fang,” Qin Xue said indifferently, her heart calm.

“You knew?”

“I know. There was once when I couldn’t sleep at night and wandered around the house after I was first brought to the Qin residence. I didn’t expect to hear Qin Xue talking to a woman on the phone and calling her mother. The mother she mentioned must be someone else because Xing Li was sleeping upstairs at that time.”

“After that, I found an opportunity to look at Qin Xue’s WeChat. I looked at all the chat records and realized that she was Zhao Fang and Qin Chong’s daughter.”

Actually, Qin Xue wasn’t that muddle-headed at that time. Although Qin Ran had obtained her phone, her chat records with Zhao Fang had almost been deleted. However, Qin Ran was a hacker, and a professional hacker at that. She logged into the intranet of the National Security Bureau and spent fifteen minutes restoring her original chat records before she found out the truth.

When Qin Ran found out about this, her first reaction was to pity Xing Li. She had actually doted on the daughter of a mistress for more than ten years.
