[R18] 夫人你馬甲又掉了 – “Madam, Your Vest Has Fallen Off Again” Chapter 203 [English]

203 Lift the seal and express condolences to the guests (first update)

Who is Chen Shulan?

Who are those people?

…

These are the questions that Mr. Lin is eager to know now.

Mr. Lin didn’t know, and Lin Qi naturally didn’t know either.

The two sat in the back seat, and they were both silent for a while.

“Call Yu’er.” After a long while, Mr. Lin came back to his senses and glanced sideways.

Ning Qing probably couldn’t take care of Qin Yu at this time.

Lin Qi nodded and took out his mobile phone to call Qin Yu.

Chen Shulan must inform Qin Yu about this matter.

Qin Yu had just finished listening to Dai Ran’s class after receiving Lin Qi’s call. Dai Ran’s class was not simple at all. Although she was Dai Ran’s direct disciple, there were many students under Dai Ran, and everyone was in competition.

Qin Yu had to cheer up and work harder than others.

She has been accustomed to this since she was a child. If she wants to get more, she has to work harder than the average person.

“My grandma she…” Qin Yu took the mobile phone and walked outside Dai Ran’s team. The capital was much colder than Yuncheng. She was wrapped in a big scarf, which could not block the cold wind. Her voice was almost confused: “Dad, Teacher Dai is taking me to M Continent tomorrow for an exchange meeting…”

“Exchange meeting?” Lin Qi glanced at Mr. Lin.

Mr. Lin pondered for a long time. After a while, he picked up the phone and gently told Qin Yu that it was important to attend the exchange meeting.

Teacher Dai is now fully committed to cultivating Qin Yu. If he missed this opportunity, it is hard to say whether he will devote all his efforts to cultivating Qin Yu in the future.

Mr. Lin had a good view of the overall situation and helped her make a decision without thinking.

He said a few more words to Qin Yu and then hung up the phone.

Lin Qi hesitated, “Dad…this…”

Mr. Lin shook his head, “Both Chen Shulan and Chen Shulan have passed away…”

In the capital, Qin Yu hung up the phone and pulled the scarf with her hand. She lowered her eyes. She had not been close to Chen Shulan since she was a child.

Chen Shulan didn’t like her either. Qin Yu didn’t feel anything about her death. It would be useless for her to go back for Chen Shulan’s funeral. It would be a waste of time. But the exchange meeting Dai Ran took her to M Continent was different…

There, you can see many top-level violin masters.

Compared with Chen Shulan’s funeral and the M-state exchange meeting, she doesn’t seem to have to think too much about which one to choose…

Qin Yu made his decision without thinking much.

Yuncheng Hotel.

Master Wei has been staying in Yuncheng recently, firstly to deal with some matters of the Violin Association, and secondly, often sitting with Principal Xu to drink tea.

The two of them were not in the same circle in the capital before.

Especially Principal Xu, Master Wei had always heard the legend about him in the capital, but rarely saw him in person, only at a few banquets.

But now, because of Qin Ran, people from two different circles are intertwined.

Most of them were complaining about Qin Ran’s ruthless history.

“I didn’t expect that you chose Ran Ran in the end.” Master Wei shook his head and laughed.

He’s apprentice would at most cause a stir in Beijing’s violin side, and the media would exaggerate it, but on Mr. Xu’s side… As soon as he’s heir was announced, the entire capital would be shaken by his words.

Mr. Xu shook his head. He glanced at Master Wei, but said nothing, and he didn’t say a word. He really couldn’t be as happy as Master Wei.

Uncle Hai made another pot of tea and poured a cup for Principal Xu first. He poured the clear green tea soup into the white porcelain cup and stopped before it was full.

Master Wei’s cell phone, which was placed on the cabinet not far away, rang.

After Uncle Hai poured tea for Master Wei, he went over and took Master Wei’s mobile phone, “Sir, this is the number in Beijing.”

No remarks.

There are countless people calling Master Wei every day, with calls coming from all over the country.

Master Wei was not surprised either. He said with a smile to Principal Xu and answered the phone.

It’s Cheng Mu on the other side of the phone.

He talked about Chen Shulan and told Master Wei about the time.

Then he hung up the phone politely.

Master Wei had expected this when he came to Yuncheng, but he didn’t expect it to happen so quickly, and he forgot to put down the mobile phone in his hand.

“What’s wrong?” Principal Xu looked at Master Wei unexpectedly. Before he could speak, the phone at his hand rang.

Hospital.

Qin Ran was still where he was, barely moving.

Cheng Juan finished making phone calls outside and then came in. He ignored Ning Qing and Ning Wei and squatted directly beside Qin Ran, asking softly: “I didn’t let anyone touch your grandma’s ward. Can I accompany you to clean it up?”

A group of bodyguards were still outside, and Lu Zhaoying led others to look for suspicious figures around the hospital.

Qin Ran seemed to finally react. A pair of dark eyes finally had focus. She tilted her head slightly and met Cheng Juan’s gaze.

There was a coldness on her face, and the corners of her eyes were drooped, without the breathtaking color of the past, like a barren desert.

Cheng Juan stopped looking, feeling uncomfortable.

He stood up and stretched out his hand towards her, “Let’s go.”

After another long while, Qin Ran finally raised his hand.

Cheng Juan held her hand and walked slowly. It took almost ten minutes to get from the emergency room to Chen Shulan’s ward.

Chen Shulan didn’t have many things when she was alive. She seemed to have had a premonition before she died and divided all her things among her four grandchildren. Mu Ying and Qin Yu didn’t like her things, so she gave them all to Qin Ran and Mu Nan.

The rest are some of her clothes and old things, as well as the cup she drinks from, and the coat she just wore today…

Qin Ran lowered his head and packed it up silently.

Chen Shulan lived in this ward for nearly half a year, almost as a rented house.

She finally put away the cup that Chen Shulan drank most from, and the last trace of Chen Shulan’s breath disappeared in the room.

Qin Ran looked around the room, and a great panic began to appear.

Outside, someone knocked on the door.

The person who came in was Cheng Mu.

He took a list and gave it to Cheng Juan, “Master Juan, everything has been arranged. The funeral home has also notified the cremation…”

Cheng Mu arranged almost all the trivial matters in an orderly manner.

Cheng Juan nodded and asked him to go out first.

After Chen Shulan died, Ning Qing collapsed, Ning Wei collapsed, and Cheng Juan took over all the follow-up operations without letting anyone from the Lin family touch them.

Qin Ran, who was standing in the middle of the room, blinked when she heard their conversation. She turned to look at Cheng Juan blankly, her voice was hoarse and astringent, and she said the first words of the night, “My grandma…”

Cheng Juan felt distressed when she looked like this. He stretched out his arms to hug her and looked out the dark window. Thinking of the person who blocked the flight today, his eyes were extremely cold, but his voice was very soft: “Your grandma went to find your grandpa.”

Qin Ran stretched out her hand and grabbed the hem of his clothes. She was still familiar with the cold fragrance that could soothe her violent factors. It seemed that she had just come back to her senses.

It didn’t take long for Cheng Juan to feel his clothes getting wet.

Half an hour later, Qinran went out again. She took a piece of paper and a pen and wrote the numbers one by one.

The Ning family doesn’t have many relatives.

Qin Ran looked through Chen Shulan’s phone and remembered it almost. After writing down the number, she went directly upstairs to find Mu Nan.

“Mu Nan, inform these people.” She handed the paper to Mu Nan, her voice was as cold as ever, except for a pair of bloodshot eyes, her expression was almost unchanged from before.

“Miss Qin,” Cheng Mu came in from the outside, here was a piece of data, “Master Juan asked me to hand it over to you first, and Mr. Gu asked me to tell you that if you have anything, feel free to do so.”

Qin Ran reached out to take the paper and nodded: “Ask him to contact Yunding Hotel. The room from last time is still there, and…”

He ordered one thing after another, and every move made him feel as if he had been in a high position for a long time.

A pair of slightly narrowed eyes showed coldness.

In Ning Qing’s eyes, Qin Ran had always been someone who didn’t study hard, was lazy and had almost no goals in life. Like Chen Shulan, she had always been small and unmotivated.

This was the first time I saw Qin Ran like this.

“Ran Ran, you…” Ning Qing looked at Qin Ran, stunned.

Qin Ran didn’t even look at her. She walked forward while giving Cheng Mu some instructions.

Ning Qing looked at Qin Ran’s back and realized for the first time that Qin Ran seemed to have changed. It was completely different from what she remembered, especially… her attitude towards all of them had changed.

**

Funeral.

Everyone who should be notified about Chen Shulan has been notified.

People here in the Ning family saw that the organizer was Ning Wei and Munan’s family, and two relatives did not come.

The address chosen was a cemetery on the outskirts of the city. It was next door to Chen Shulan’s grandfather. Chen Shulan had already bought it for herself.

It’s been snowing for a few days, and the ground is covered with a layer of white again.

Qin Ran and Mu Nan were standing at the mourning hall, one on the left and the other on the right.

The entire scene was filled with bodyguards borrowed by Cheng Juan and Jiang Hui, wearing black suits with white flowers on their chests.

It was like attending the funeral of an important leader, solemn and heavy.

“Ran Ran, Mu Nan, don’t be too sad, you two.” Lin Qi and Mr. Lin came early, holding a white flower in their hands.

Ning Qing’s voice was hoarse, and she came out, “Dad, you go this way.”

She took Lin Qi and Mr. Lin in.

Behind Lin Qi and Mr. Lin, two more old men over fifty came in.
