Chapter 56: The Lingering Influence

Meanwhile, the Qin family was another story under the night sky.

Ever since Qin Xue’s celebration party ended miserably, the mood of the Qin family was always surprisingly low. Sometimes, as the family ate, they would suddenly look at each other, speechless.

Everyone had their own schemes and grudges.

As the eldest son of the Qin family, Qin Yang was the role model that his parents were proud of. As the eldest brother, he had always told himself to treat his siblings fairly and not be biased. However, his family members always spoke ill of Qin Ran, who clearly didn’t do anything wrong. Was this really fair?

From the celebration party until now, he had been contacting Qin Ran privately and kept changing the number to call her, even though he would be blacklisted every time he called her.

He really wanted to persuade his younger sister to come back. He wanted to tell her not to be angry with her parents. This was the fate of girls, especially the so-called daughters of wealthy families like them. Marriage could not be decided by anyone. In the end, they could only be sacrificed for the prosperity of the family and the interests of the company.

At this moment, he was sitting in the study with a brand new phone card in hand, hesitating whether he should make a call again.

“Brother, I heard from Mom that you still have to work overtime later. I’ve grinded the coffee for you to freshen up.” A familiar voice sounded from outside the door. Qin Xue stood outside the study room with a tray and said obediently.

“Come in.” Qin Yang didn’t like people to disturb him when he was working, so he had long established the rules. Other than Mr. and Mrs. Qin, anyone who entered his study had to knock on the door in advance.

The young girl pushed the door open and entered with a smile. Her eyes were filled with concern for her brother.

“Xiao Xue, you’ve worked hard. Leave it here. Help me close the door when you go out.”

Qin Xue originally wanted to use this cup of coffee to talk to her elder brother and gain more affection. However, Qin Yang’s words shut her up. Since he had said those words, she could only leave angrily.

This elder brother of the Qin family was considered the most fair and reasonable one. He took care of her, his younger sister, but he did not have much favoritism. Ever since the celebration party last time, he became increasingly cold to her. Sometimes, Qin Xue would feel guilty when she looked into his eyes, afraid that he would see through her thoughts.

On a chance, Qin Xue even discovered that her eldest brother had secretly contacted Qin Ran and persuaded her to return to the Qin family to get married. He said that Qin Ran would forever be his biological younger sister and that he would always help her after the marriage, ensuring that she would live a comfortable life in the Qin family.

How detestable!

When Qin Xue thought of Qin Ran, she was furious. She hated her for stealing her favor in the Qin family and also stealing her limelight in school. When she returned to her room, she immediately called Zhang Lan’s phone number.

“Lanlan, it’s so cold tonight. I wonder where my sister is. Does she have enough clothes or money?”

“Xiao Xue, Qin Ran, that little b*tch, has harmed you so badly, yet you still feel sorry for her.” Zhang Lan was very enthusiastic about supporting Qin Xue and dissing Qin Ran.

“After all, she’s my sister. The comments about her on the hot topic list are getting worse and worse.” Qin Xue deliberately guided Zhang Lan’s spearhead.

“In my opinion, the comments are still too polite now. Just wait for me. See how I add oil to the fire and make Qin Ran unable to turn over a new leaf.” Zhang Lan’s reaction was as Qin Xue had expected.

“Lanlan, you’d better not. What if Sis is really angry?”

“How can I be afraid of her?”

Qin Ran had tried this reverse psychology method on Zhang Lan repeatedly and had never been defeated. After hanging up the phone, an evil smile curled up on the corners of Qin Xue’s mouth. “Qin Ran, you’re dreaming if you want to take away what belongs to me!”

“Achoo, Achoo.” Far away in the Mo Residence, Qin Ran suddenly sneezed several times.

“Who’s cursing me?” She said to herself.

“Did you catch a cold?” Before she finished speaking, a well-defined hand covered Qin Ran’s forehead and carefully probed her temperature.

“No. My nose is just itchy.” Qin Ran actually didn’t dodge Mo Chi’s intimate actions.

“Hurry up and sleep, lass.”

At this moment, Qin Ran was wearing a small negligee. Mo Chi was worried that if she didn’t sleep soon, he wouldn’t be able to help himself from doing something inappropriate.

Qin Ran looked at her phone. It was indeed getting late. Therefore, she crawled from the sofa to the bed, covered herself with a corner of the blanket, and fell asleep.

The next morning, Mo Qing received the notification and came to the president’s office. Just as he stepped in, he saw Mo Chi’s worried expression on the boss chair.

The boss was in a bad mood. It seemed like he had to be careful today.
