Ma’am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 278 - My Madam Is Very Ordinary



Chapter 278: My Madam Is Very Ordinary

“Friend?” Cheng Wenru glanced at him in amusement. “What kind of friend? Can I meet her?”

“We’ll 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 Raohan’s 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, can’t you come back and do something practical? Don’t 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 Raohan’s 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 she’s 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, we’re 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 appointment with Ouyang Wei tomorrow. She simply smiled without exposing him.

If the Daylily could be found, they could resolve not only Old Master Cheng’s 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 time, she was smiling gently, but because she wasn’t as well-maintained as Cheng Wenru, some fine lines could be seen between her eyebrows.

The others on the dining table pricked their ears when they heard this, waiting for Cheng Juan’s answer.

Eating slowly, Cheng Juan suddenly chuckled lowly, seemingly amused by something she said. His eyebrows were relaxed as he said, “She’s just an ordinary person, but her temper is bad. After a while when she’s accustomed to it, I’ll bring her here. I hope you won’t 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 me?”

Old Master Cheng was too lazy to reply.

The others didn’t read into their expressions and just exchanged glances. They thought of the rumor that had spread some time ago. The little girl next to Cheng Juan seemed to be from a town village. The Cheng family had made university arrangements for Cheng Juan’s 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 calmed 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 Wenru’s expression turned serious.

After staying for an hour, Cheng Juan came out with Cheng Wenru.

At the same time, 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 came 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 time. It’ll be at six o’clock tomorrow afternoon,” the man leaned over and replied.

“Ok, tomorrow afternoon at six o’clock.” 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 appointment with Ouyang Wei tomorrow mainly for the Daylily.

For the first time in the Beijing circle, someone 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.

Someone 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 wasn’t an easy feat to make an appointment with her, and would definitely take more than one bottle when checking various news in the future. At this time, Cheng Raohan naturally wouldn’t be distracted by Cheng Juan.

His relationship with Cheng Juan wasn’t very good, so there was no need to waste time 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 M’s 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 Siran’s 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, we’ll arrive tomorrow.”

“Ok.” Leaning back on the chair, Qin Ran propped her legs up casually. “I’ll send you the address.”

“Qiao Sheng and the others said they’ll have to wait until school starts.” Lin Siran thought for a while and continued, “I think Mingyue is waiting for her uncle to come together, but I don’t know when.”

Qin Ran had been busy the past two days and hadn’t contacted Qiao Sheng and the others. After hearing Lin Siran, she also remembered that the Jiang family was going to be stationed in Beijing this summer.

“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 meant that she herself had also contributed to the Principal’s 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 didn’t want to bother her too much.

Because they brought Mimi along, the Lin family didn’t take a plane and drove to Beijing instead.

In the driver’s seat, Father Lin glanced at the rearview mirror and smiled. “I’ll 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 Siran’s results had been rather good and she had been top-tier in class 3.9, it wasn’t to the extent of getting into Beijing University by herself.

She had done well this time solely because of Qin Ran.

The Lin family naturally knew their daughter’s abilities. Such a big improvement was definitely not something 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 o’clock in the afternoon, Cheng Wenru finally received a text message from Cheng Juan while in the office.

Cheng Juan’s text messages were always simple and concise.

It was even more so this time. He just named the restaurant and dropped the room number.

But Cheng Wenru naturally knew what it meant. Putting down the signature pen in her hand, she stood up with a strong aura between her brows.

Secretary Li stepped forward. “Miss?”

“I’m 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. “It’s in the lounge, I’ll 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 wasn’t owned by the Cheng family but opened with Cheng Juan in the earlier days. After Cheng Juan’s absence, she had brought the company to prosperity.

She worked overtime more than 300 days a year.

Thus, the company’s 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. “She’s 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 environment could directly affect a person, and it would be troublesome if she couldn’t get along with Cheng Wenru…
