Chapter 576: Chapter 556: Being Meddlesome???

"Who asked you to meddle?" The next second, Han Lei pushed the door open and glared furiously at Luo Qianqian.

Luo Qianqian was quite astonished. Did she misunderstand something?

Wasn’t it clear that Han Chen had indicated that there was another schemer? Had Han Lei asked her not to blame Han Chen?

"Han Chen made his own bed! But he’s still a descendant of the Han Family!" Han Lei spoke with righteous indignation.

Cong Rong tugged Luo Qianqian’s arm and handed her the phone.

Luo Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then typed out a line: none of your business...

Cong Rong, with eyes widened in surprise, said in a wooden tone, "None of your business?"

Qin Wen’s face on the side showed a bit of displeasure. What were these kids thinking? They had just stirred up such trouble that afternoon, and now they were running into someone else’s house. She really hoped it wouldn’t come to being charged for... illegal entry.

Han Lei paused, then burst out laughing: "Right, none of my business. So, do whatever you want!"

Luo Qianqian rolled her eyes. You change your face too quickly, okay? She didn’t even know what to do now. Did she misunderstand something?

"It’s not them who make the decisions for the Han Family. Talking to them is useless. The person who really makes the decisions wouldn’t let someone with residual value leave, so those who are here have basically been squeezed dry of their value," he said with a bitter smile. "Of course, those who live here have another purpose."

Another purpose? Luo Qianqian frowned.

Wrong, was Han Lei reminding her? But was he reminding her that there was no real steward here, or that Han Chen still had some residual value?

Seeing Han Lei turn and go upstairs, Luo Qianqian seemed to understand something. She tugged at Cong Rong and started walking towards the door.

Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran had packed up the certificates and trophies and followed out. Qin Wen, trailing at the end, bowed reluctantly to the several elders. Although there was not a trace of respect in her demeanor, she had still done the polite thing.

"We’ll visit again."

Watching the door close, the elderly masters remained expressionless: "Things just got interesting."

"What did that Lei boy go out for today?"

"I’ve been advising Laoer for a long time. Now, it’s all left to fate," said one.

"Cough cough, big brother, Chen..."

"I’ve always said outsiders can’t be trusted, but you insisted that changing their surname made them part of the family."

"Lao San! Han Chen and Han Lei are both part of the Han Family. After the deaths of their parents, and their mother’s side, they could only belong to our Han Family."

Han Lei, leaning on the second-floor landing, cupped his mouth tightly, tears streaming down his face. His legs were weak and rested on the floor, but he was powerless. They couldn’t escape.

At this time, Qin Wen grabbed Luo Qianqian and picked her up: "Qianqian, do you know something?"

Luo Qianqian was startled and nodded, then shook her head. Did she know? It seemed like she knew a bit more now, but wasn’t it better not to know? Was she misunderstanding again?

"Don’t be so impulsive next time," Luo Yanran patted Luo Qianqian’s head, not disturbing Qin Nuan and Cong Rong, who were walking hand in hand.

Luo Qianqian glared at Luo Yanran angrily.

But she heard Luo Yanran say, "I remember Han Chen said those people are from the Xu Family, right? There are two possibilities. First, they are from the Han Family, trying to make us completely break with the Xu Family to achieve their unspeakable goals. Since the incident with you and Xu Xiaoxiao, our families don’t have much contact, just sending gifts on New Year’s and holidays. Second, they are from the Xu Family. Han Chen is telling the truth, to caution us against the Xu Family."

Luo Qianqian nodded, right.

"I went there today and couldn’t find out the identities of those people no matter how I asked. Those old men neither admitted nor denied, just stared at me, and even said that Han Chen was a good kid who would not do such things and that I was lying," Luo Yanran said, getting increasingly frustrated.

"So you came home specifically to bring this stuff?" Qin Nuan looked towards Luo Yanran with a twitching smile, not believing that Luo Yanran could have predicted this.

Who would have known that a few people would just look at Luo Yanran as if it was a matter of course, nodding their heads in agreement.

Luo Qianqian clenched her fists tightly. I swear I don’t want to kill you.

Qin Wen simply rolled her eyes and didn’t even bother to respond.

"I’m going to get the cake," Cong Rong said calmly, "Qianqian wants to watch us eat it."

It was only then that Luo Yanran had an epiphany, "Ah, right, I haven’t gone there yet, ahhh, my plan!!! Luo Qianqian, you owe me a surprise!!!"

Owe you my ass!

Luo Qianqian made a face at Luo Yanran. How was she supposed to control something like this?

If anyone should be compensating, why not the person who hurt them? Why come after her? She was a victim too.

Wait a second, had they forgotten something?

Luo Qianqian quickly grabbed her phone: So, where is Xiu Ran?

Qin Wen glanced at her phone, her expression somewhat helpless, "Han Chen assured that she hasn’t been in any trouble, but he didn’t say where she was."

Luo Yanran hopped on the spot, checked his phone for the time, and made a call. After hearing whatever was said on the other end, he finally let out a sigh of relief:

"Second Brother Qin, I’ll go get the cake, you take them to Grandfather’s house first." Saying this, Luo Yanran tossed the bag full of certificates and trophies to Qin Nuan and bolted away.

Qin Nuan watched Luo Yanran run off, gaping, then suddenly snapped back to reality, followed a few steps and yelled at the quickly moving shadow, "Be careful with your wound."

Luo Yanran’s voice came from afar, "I love you the most."

Qin Nuan turned around, her face a mix of resignation and shyness, picked up the bag on the ground, and walked to the front with a sweet smile on her face.

Cong Rong chuckled and winked at Luo Qianqian before approaching Qin Nuan, "I’ll help you with some of that, after all, you can only be the birthday star for a few more hours."

"It’s okay, as long as the surprise isn’t spoiled," Qin Nuan’s slightly joyful voice came from the front.

Luo Qianqian listened as Qin Wen sighed softly, "Alas, girls just can’t be kept at home," and then caught up with Qin Nuan and Cong Rong’s pace.

Luo Qianqian suddenly remembered that the voice speaking was indeed Qin Wen and quickly took out her phone to type: Who was at the villa entrance with Second Brother Qin today?

Qin Wen saw the phone, her expression changed slightly, and then she feigned nonchalance, "Just a neighborhood boy, lives right over there."

Luo Qianqian noted Qin Wen’s feigned calm, didn’t expose it, but her mind was racing:

Qin Wen knows him, Qin Nuan and Cong Rong have not met him, the chauffeur left a word that they would meet later...

It must be someone I will surely meet, so it’s an occasion where both he and I will be present?

Other than school, the only events confirmed are the soirée the day after tomorrow and the Wei Family’s wedding.

Could it be someone that Grandfather knows?

Still puzzled and unable to make sense of it, it seemed there were no children of Grandfather’s acquaintances that she absolutely had to meet.

No, that’s not right... She remembered someone she had just met a few days ago—Jimo Kong!
