Chapter 61: Strong Reversal

What?

Qin Ran suspected she had heard wrong and wanted to dig her ear clean.

She turned to the side, her left hand on the back of the chair as she stared indifferently at the two of them. “Say that again?”

Qin Ran smiled and asked very politely.

However, Lin Wan noticed that her eyes were cold and she wasn’t actually smiling.

Lin Wan frowned slightly, turning thoughtful and hesitant. Could Lin Qi’s stepdaughter also have such an expression?

In the blink of an eye, the girl had withdrawn her gaze and lowered her eyes slightly.

Qin Ran sat down with her back against the window. The window was half open and her expression couldn’t be seen against the light.

Lin Wan sneered lightly. She must have seen wrongly, how could she have that kind of expression?

Ning Qing felt like her thoughts were very normal, but she didn’t dare to face Qin Ran directly and just squeezed the teacup subconsciously.

“Qin Ran, you broke Xu Shen’s hand and his movements are difficult now, more so than your hand.” Lin Wan lifted the teacup, shaking it slightly and saying in a gentle voice, “You only injured your right hand, and you’re left-handed too, so your injury won’t affect your daily life at all. Why do you bother to fight this lawsuit that isn’t beneficial to you?”

Lin Wan slowed her speech and saw that Qin Ran wasn’t speaking. She thought that she had listened to her and couldn’t help but say a few more words.

Qin Ran didn’t look at her and just knocked the teacup slightly with her left hand.

She leaned back lazily against the back of the chair, carefree and unruly.

She raised her eyebrow. “Continue.”

“It’s just messing around among kids.” Lin Wan slowed down a little and continued speaking, “You and that girl didn’t suffer much anyway, so why must you cling on to it? Even if it was self-defense, because of the little injury you suffered, the most he will be punished with is to pay for the medical expenses after the lawsuit. He might not even be sentenced to jail, so why bother?”

It was such a good reason.

Because her hands were fine, because Pan Mingyue was fine, so everything could be treated as if nothing had happened.

Qin Ran felt a fire rise inexplicably in her heart, hot and dry.

It only needed a little spark of flame to be ignited.

“Oh.” Qin Ran tilted her head and looked at Lin Wan at that moment, her lips curled and a low chuckle in her throat. “And if I don’t? What if I want to investigate it?”

Lin Wan was a little surprised and raised her eyebrow slightly.

She didn’t expect Qin Ran to be so stubborn.

Because of her good marriage, the Lin family basically followed her words, so she was used to being overbearing and always ordered people around.

“Here is one and a half million yuan. In addition to the Xu family’s one million yuan, I will compensate for the other half a million yuan,” Lin Wan said in a suppressed tone and took out the cheque from the bag. She then pushed it to Qin Ran’s side.

Lin Wan’s patience had reached its limit.

One and a half million yuan was already an astronomical figure for someone who had never seen big money since young.

Lin Wan knew Ning Qing very well. She was selfish, timid, vain, and greedy.

Her daughter was probably the same.

Qin Ran looked at the cheque on the table and lowered her eyes.

Lin Wan picked up the teacup again and took a sip. Then, she saw that Qin Ran was staring at the cheque and said, “This is a cheque, you can go to the bank to exchange it for cash.”

Qin Ran just chuckled casually.

Did she really think she was a fool? She didn’t even know what a cheque was?

“Did someone come and find you? Let me guess, was it Deputy Shen?” Qin Ran’s voice was very soft as she stared at Ning Qing and said in an undulating voice, “What benefit has he given you? What big favor has he done for you? Was it worth letting down your dignity and putting on a show as a good mother?”

Ning Qing and Lin Wan didn’t expect Qin Ran to have guessed it.

She was actually accurate.

Ning Qing pursed her lips and finally couldn’t help but say, “Qin Ran, how could you say that? What have you learned from your grandmother all these years…”

“Since when have you cared about me since young? You only know how to finger point at this moment.” Qin Ran raised her hand and threw the cup on the table.

“Bam!”

She looked at the brown coffee swaying in the teacup and felt very disinterested.

“If there’s nothing else, I’m leaving.” Qin Ran pulled her chair and stood up.

“One and a half million yuan is enough for you to live a carefree life for some time. Young girl, don’t bite off more than you can chew and have too high of a standard. When you fall miserably, the gains won’t make up for your loss.” Lin Wan opened her mouth intentionally after sitting at the side calmly.

Did she think that one and a half million yuan was too little? She wanted her to know her place?

Qin Ran nodded and looked at Lin Wan. She didn’t drink the coffee on the table, just licked her lips and said, “I also think you’re right. One shouldn’t bite off more than they can chew, or they will fall miserably.”

Lin Wan heard her words and felt her heart jump suddenly.

She thought about it and couldn’t figure out what was wrong.

She watched as Qin Ran turned and left the coffee shop.

Lin Wan smiled gracefully and said, “I remember that you have a grandmother in the city’s hospital? Your grandmother’s ward and doctor have all been arranged by my brother.”

Qin Ran’s footsteps halted and she turned sideways.

Her dark eyes did not seem panicked as Lin Wan had imagined.

On the contrary, it was undulated and extremely cold.

“Are you angry?” Lin Wan was accustomed to power and didn’t think there was anything wrong with her behavior. “Of course, I wouldn’t do anything to harm your grandmother. But you should also think about it, you need our Lin family’s help even to find a hospital and a doctor, so—”

Lin Wan chuckled softly. “You can guess… do you think I will let you find a lawyer in Yun Cheng who is willing to help you fight this lawsuit?”

“Ran Ran, just listen to me!” Ning Qing heard this, panicked, and said with a dry throat.

“Sigh, what a big issue.” A clear male voice sounded from behind the door lazily. “Lawyer Qi, did you hear that? If you don’t come to Yun Cheng, we will degenerate to the point where we can’t even find a single lawyer, alright?”
