Chapter 332: This Sister Isn’t That Sister

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Qin Xiuchen and his manager turned to look at him.

“Where is she?” Qin Xiuchen stood up and looked down.

Putting the earphones away, Qin Ling looked out the door with shining eyes. “Downstairs.”

It was obvious he liked this sister very much.

“No hurry.” Qin Xiuchen chuckled. “She’ll reach soon.”

The manager glanced at the door and frowned while out of sight.

Having only Qin Yu’s information, he had a headache and felt worried after hearing Qin Ling say that his sister was coming.

Three knocks sounded on the door.

At this moment, it was too late to persuade Qin Xiuchen. The manager dragged heavy steps to open the door.

The manager had followed Qin Xiuchen all the way to witness him opening his own studio and beginning to sign new artists.

As a manager, he was on the constant lookout for potential newcomers. At first glance, he always looked at the person’s appearance, temperament, and unique characteristics.

From Qin Yu’s photo last night, she had the style of a pretty daughter of a humble family. Her appearance would be considered remarkable in the entertainment industry, but it was still a little lacking compared to Qin Xiuchen.

The entertainment industry had no shortage of beauties. Putting Qin Yu’s face in the entertainment industry wouldn’t even make a splash.

Coupled with her attitude, the manager opened the door with a complicated mentality. “Qin…”

He looked up and was about to speak, but when he saw Qin Ran’s face, he swallowed his words back inside.

Instead of Qin Yu standing at the door, it was a tall girl with long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her skin was snow-white, and her almond eyes were lowered. When she heard him, she slightly raised an eyebrow, her thin lips casually curling.

She exuded an inexplicable sense of evil tendencies.

The manager stared at Qin Ran with professional eyes. Perhaps because the difference was so great, he didn’t dare connect the person in front to Qin Ling’s sister. He just uttered blankly, “Who are you looking for?”

Glancing at the message she just received, she raised an eyebrow and replied after a while, “I’m Qin Ran. I’m looking for Qin Ling.”

Her reply was extremely concise and clear.

“Oh, come in please.” The manager hurriedly turned sideways and stepped aside.

But he was still stunned inside. Wasn’t it Qin Yu who was supposed to come? Who was Qin Ran?

“Sister.” Qin Ling stood up and was about to pull on her sleeves.

Qin Ran glanced at him. “Sit down.”

Qin Ling immediately retracted his hand and sat back down. First, he introduced Qin Xiuchen to her. “Sister, this is my Uncle.”

Then, he turned his head and said with his chin slightly raised, “Uncle, this is my sister, Qin Ran.”

Qin Xiuchen had felt some suspicions after receiving the information last night, and although he had already expected it, he was still very surprised to see Qin Ran in person.

From Qin Ling’s tone, he could detect his affection for her. Glancing at him, he chuckled softly. “Qin Xiuchen, I’m Xiao Ling’s uncle. He told me that you’re here to discuss his appearance in the district’s reality show?”

Qin Ran sat down and first sent a message to Cheng Juan.

She nodded absent-mindedly.

Qin Ling couldn’t decipher her attitude, but at least she didn’t leave straight away.

He just bowed his head and took a sip of his drink.

Qin Xiuchen had only just decided to bring Qin Ling to the variety show, so naturally, no contract had been signed yet. But there was an electronic version of it, which he asked his manager to show Qin Ran.

Taking out his phone, the manager found the contract and showed it to her.

She took it and looked through the document.

The contract was 12 pages in total.

She scrolled for a little more than a minute and then returned the phone to the manager.

“You’re done?” The manager was shocked.

“Yeah.” Between a glass of juice and a glass of boiled water, she picked up the latter and tapped on the glass with her hand. “Desolate island? Isn’t it dangerous?”

Qin Xiuchen squinted slightly and thought for a while. “They only said it’s possible. The show will be broadcasted for three episodes, and only one episode will be on the deserted island. We’ll basically experience life in scenic areas, but there’ll be doctors and helicopters on standby.”

Qin Ran rested her hand on her chin and asked several more questions.

These were all very obvious issues mentioned in the contract.

While listening, the manager felt increasingly puzzled. After checking on his phone, sure enough, he found the list of questions Qin Ran just asked in the contract.

He looked up at her, very surprised. He thought she had just casually flipped through it, but he didn’t expect her to have looked through it so seriously.

“The program group has many challenges. Xiao Ling is smart, I can bask in his light by bringing him along.” Qin Xiuchen reached out to pour more juice into Qin Ling’s cup.

Qin Ran didn’t come mainly to listen to the contract.

Several celebrities would be on the variety show, so they didn’t need to put the guests in danger. She mainly wanted to test Qin Xiuchen and found that he indeed looked out for Qin Ling.

He was much more reliable than Qin Hanqiu.

After understanding further, Qin Ran stopped talking.

“Sister, you…” Qin Ling had already finished his meal. Seeing Qin Ran put down her chopsticks, he wanted her to look at his game.

Qin Ran didn’t even lift her head. “No, I don’t know.”

Qin Ling looked down and stammered miserably, “… Oh.”

The manager on the side hurriedly said, “Xiao Ling, what game is it? Let me help you.”

Qin Ling handed the phone to him. The game had progressed halfway through.

Not taking children’s games seriously, the manager clicked on the start button—

“Pop” — His game character died.

Startled, he started again—

“Pop” — His game character died.

…

After repeating this several times, he silently handed the phone back to Qin Ling.

Qin Ling took it expectantly.

Having finished their meals, Qin Ran glanced at the time and was about to head back.

Qin Xiuchen also put down his chopsticks and went downstairs with her. “Where do you live? We’ll send you back.”

It was past 7 o’clock now, nearing 8 o’clock.

Qin Xiuchen didn’t know what Qin Ran did nor where she lived. He only heard Butler Qin mention that she was a college student studying in the university town.

At this time, he naturally wouldn’t let her go back alone.

“No need.” Qin Ran stood at the intersection and glanced around. She spotted a black car not far away. “Someone is waiting for me.”

She put her phone in her pocket and walked diagonally across.

She waved to the back.

Qin Xiuchen stood there, watching Qin Ran get into the car. Only after the car drove away did he look away.

The manager beside him took second glances at the license plate number, wanting to write it down in case Qin Ran met with any danger. But while reading it, he felt something strange. This license plate number…

Wasn’t it too arrogant?

Qin Xiuchen called Qin Hanqiu again. Qin Ling was still staying with him tonight.

After returning home, the manager dared to ask, “Film Emperor Qin, what’s the matter with Qin Ran?”

“My Second Bro has two daughters.” He took a cup and poured a glass of lemonade. Clearing his throat, he leaned on the water dispenser and laughed. “I only checked on Qin Yu, but Xiao Ling wasn’t talking about her.”

In the arrogant car, Qin Ran sat in the back seat, while Cheng Jin drove in front.

Resting her cheek in one hand and putting her elbow on the window, she glanced at Cheng Jin. “Why is it you? Where’s Cheng Mu?”

“I came out today to discuss business with Master Juan. Cheng Mu went to visit Classmate Lin,” Cheng Jin glanced at the rearview mirror and respectfully replied.

Qin Ran counted the days. Cheng Mu was probably meeting Lin Siran. She knocked on the car window and turned to look at Cheng Juan. “When did he go? I have something to tell Lin Siran.”

“He just left.” Cheng Juan finally opened his eyes and glanced at her, his tone light. “It’s not too late to go now.”

Understanding his meaning, Cheng Jin turned on his phone and Bluetooth at the red light. He dialed Cheng Mu’s phone and asked for the address.

Cheng Mu replied with an address near Beijing University.

It took more than an hour to drive there.

Not many people were on the road at this moment, and it wasn’t the holiday either, so the road wasn’t very congested. They stopped at an intersection in less than an hour.

Cheng Mu had just arrived. Not many pedestrians were out and about.

“Miss Qin, Master Juan.” He greeted them as he saw them coming down from the back seats.

Cheng Jin glanced around and didn’t see anyone else. “Has Classmate Lin come yet?”

“She’s reaching.” Cheng Mu glanced in one direction. This was where he traded with Lin Siran every time.

In less than two minutes, a van slowly drove towards their side and then stopped.

Lin Siran got out of the car, holding a flower pot. After handing it to Cheng Mu, she ran to Qin Ran and whispered, “Ran Ran! Why didn’t you tell me you were coming!”

Before Qin Ran could reply, Lin Siran patted her own forehead. “By the way, our Mi Mi is here too!”

Folding her arms, Qin Ran raised her chin. “Let me see.”

Lin Siran opened the door of the back seat.

Father Lin pulled out a car key and got out of the driver’s seat. He couldn’t help but exhort, “Siran, be careful. So many people are here, don’t scare them.”

At the thought of the very miserable cat in Lin Siran’s house, Cheng Mu sympathetically glanced over.
