Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 233: Large-Scale Revelation Scene

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Mr. Lu was really antisocial and hated crowded occasions.

Cheng Shui and Cheng Huo had been very dedicated today.

But in Cheng Huo’s eyes—

Was Qin Ran a random stranger in the manor?

Of course not.

Without replying to Tang Qing, he smiled as usual at Qin Ran and said respectfully and courteously, “Miss Qin, it’s fine.”

“Brother Cheng Huo?” Tang Qing looked up at him incredulously.

Cheng Huo watched as Qin Ran knocked on the door and went in. He turned and whispered to Tang Qing, “If you stop Miss Qin from entering, Boss might really chase Mr. Lu out.”

Hearing this, Tang Qing pursed her lips.

Reluctantly, she watched as Qin Ran looked away and knocked on the door. She genuinely couldn’t understand this woman.

She had already made it crystal clear that there were important people in the room, but that woman still knocked on the door with such peace of mind?

Shouldn’t she leave tactfully? Was she brainless?

“I don’t care if my uncle gets angry, then.” Tang Qing didn’t know what else to say and just looked away, her expression and voice both cold.

Cheng Huo didn’t reply and just kept up with Qin Ran.

Qin Ran opened the door.

The three of them went in together.

Cheng Juan, Cheng Shui, and Mr. Lu were inside.

It was obvious that Mr. Lu and Cheng Shui had just arrived not long ago.

Cheng Juan was sitting with Mr. Lu on the sofa in the reception area in the study. Both of them had tea in their hands, while Cheng Shui was sorting out documents at the desk.

Mr. Lu seemed absent-minded and was frowning.

He heard someone knock on the door and come in.

Cheng Shui brought a document to Cheng Juan and lowered his voice. “It’s probably Cheng Huo and Tang Qing.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

It was Qin Ran and the others.

Qin Ran walked in front. No matter where it was, Cheng Huo always walked a step behind her.

Mr. Lu also looked up inadvertently at the door. He seemed to see something and put his teacup down with a “bang”.

Then he bolted up.

Mr. Lu was antisocial and didn’t talk much due to his dull personality. After coming to this manor for just one day, everyone already knew his temper well.

This was the first time they saw him so agitated.

Cheng Shui froze.

“I already told you my uncle doesn’t like to see strangers,” Tang Qing whispered to Cheng Huo, sounding very displeased and impatient. “You simply had to let her come in?”

She didn’t wait for Cheng Huo to reply.

Taking a few steps forward, she said, “Uncle, it’s okay. I’ll take you downstairs first. I’ll bring you up again after it’s quiet here...”

Before she finished speaking, Mr. Lu raised his hand to stop her from continuing.

Not far away, Qin Ran stood in front of Cheng Huo and stared blankly at Mr. Lu. “Why are you here?”

“We haven’t seen each other for more than a year. I’ve come to see if you’re still alive.” Mr. Lu walked to Qin Ran with his hands behind his back. Then, he walked around Qin Ran and said with familiarity, “Not bad, you’re still alive. I don’t have to collect your corpse.”

His expression was, as always, a little antisocial, but the annoyance between his eyebrows had disappeared.

Instead of talking concisely like how he had to Cheng Huo and the others, his voice was now excited and lively.

Cheng Juan also paused and placed the teacup on the table.

He walked to Qin Ran and raised an eyebrow. “This is...”

He glanced at Mr. Lu. Except for Chen Shulan, Qin Ran rarely showed such behavior to other people, including Elder Wei and Principal Xu.

“My neighbor. I used to go to his house as a kid.” Qin Ran smiled, her eyebrows relaxed like a clear day after a drizzle. “Uncle Lu.”

Cheng Juan’s somewhat indifferent attitude became serious. “Oh, Uncle Lu. Come sit.”

His voice was gentle and his attitude was polite. His unapproachable aura had all but disappeared.

Uncle Lu glanced at Cheng Juan quietly before turning to ask Qin Ran about how she was doing.

On the side, Tang Qing still maintained her expression and movement from just now, stiff in place.

Her face was pale.

Cheng Huo had a temper and was usually unable to hide his thoughts or words. At this time, his head was also buzzing.

Only Cheng Shui calmed down after a moment of shock and poured tea for Qin Ran.

He knew Qin Ran’s habits.

After he handed it to her, she pushed the tea to her neighbor.

Cheng Huo was still standing stiffly.

According to Mr. Lu’s attitude towards Qin Ran, if they didn’t already know that Tang Qing was his niece, people might think Qin Ran was his niece instead!

Most importantly, according to Mr. Lu... he seemed to be here for Qin Ran...

He remembered where Qin Ran lived?

Cheng Mu had mentioned that it was a mountainous area focused on poverty alleviation. Most people wouldn’t go to such a poor place, so there were few people there.

The big boss of the Yunguang Consortium actually lived there?!

And beside Qin Ran?!

Cheng Huo didn’t return to his senses even after his meal.

Because Mr. Lu was there, Cheng Mu and Shi Liming didn’t join them for dinner. The dining table on the first floor had two extra seats for Tang Qing and Mr. Lu.

Tang Qing bowed her head all the way, gripping her chopsticks tightly.

Although other people didn’t understand Mr. Lu, she knew him very well. Her uncle wasn’t even as close to her father as he was to Qin Ran.

If it wasn’t for Tang Qing’s self-control, she would have broken her pair of chopsticks.

**

After the meal, Cheng Huo and Tang Qing returned to the information hall.

Almost all of the people in the information hall were eating their lunch boxes at their table and not at the cafeteria.

Seeing Cheng Huo and Tang Qing, they greeted them very politely and respectfully. They were especially polite towards Tang Qing. Jerry showed a string of codes on the computer to them. “Mr. Cheng Huo, Miss Tang, is Mr. Lu still here? This string of codes seems to have a problem...”

Tang Qing didn’t really know how to feel inside. She had already felt strange previously. Why had her uncle agreed to her request so directly...

But now, even she had to admit that her uncle had indeed come for Qin Ran!

So it was very probable that it was because of Qin Ran that they had obtained this string of codes so easily.

Tang Qing couldn’t understand why her uncle would behave like this for her...

“It’s too late, my uncle is probably sleeping.” Tang Qing shook her head.

Narrowing his eyes, Cheng Huo sent a message to Qin Ran, asking if they could find Mr. Lu.

Qin Ran replied: [In the study.]

Cheng Huo copied the code on his computer. This part was Jerry’s responsibility, so he brought him along. Both Jerry and Cheng Huo had a bunch of questions for Mr. Lu.

As a computer-obsessed madman who now had a big boss within reach, Cheng Huo simply wanted to ask Mr. Lu questions every second of the day.

Previously, he hadn’t asked much because Mr. Lu was Tang Qing’s uncle.

But now, he turned out to be Miss Qin’s neighbor and had become much friendlier, so how could Cheng Huo resist?!

He also asked Qin Ran if he could bring one more person.

Qin Ran agreed.

To be able to see the legendary big boss Lu, Jerry leaned on his cane, in seventh heaven. Everyone from the information hall looked very enviously at him.

At this time, Qin Ran was talking in a low voice with Mr. Lu.

She hugged a pillow and sat next to Cheng Juan. Mr. Lu sat opposite them, holding a cup of tea identical to Qin Ran’s, with exactly seven tea leaves.

“You’re from Beijing?” Mr. Lu raised an eyebrow after hearing Cheng Juan’s words.

Cheng Juan nodded, his expression polite and serious. “I also have a brother and sister.”

Mr. Lu was speechless. Who asked about your brother and sister?!

While the three were talking, Cheng Huo and Jerry brought the computer over.

Cheng Huo first greeted the three big bosses, then turned to Qin Ran. “Miss Qin, when I went to the flower garden to water the flowers, I saw the gardener moving your red flower.”

Leaning on the sofa and drinking her tea, Qin Ran lowered her eyebrows and said, “I’m sending it back to China.”

She placed the teacup on the table after finishing the tea.

Cheng Juan talked to Mr. Lu while pouring another cup for her.

Mr. Lu sat there, silently observing him.

Cheng Huo didn’t ask Qin Ran any more questions. After receiving Cheng Juan’s permission, he repeated the problem to Mr. Lu again.

As he spoke, he turned on the computer.

Mr. Lu had been observing them all along. He was clever and could tell from their words and actions that they had good relationships with Qin Ran.

In Ninghai Town, except for Wei Zihang and Pan Mingyue, nobody else was close to her.

“Ran Ran.” Mr. Lu glanced at the code on the computer. It was a piece of obscure intelligent code retrieved from Xiao Hei. He turned to her with gloomy eyes and asked curiously, “With you around, why did they beg me for a week over such a code?
