Chapter 523: Things Have Changed, Qin Ling’s Decision

Elder Xu did not immediately respond.

Since Cheng Raohan dared to talk about it at Old Master Cheng’s funeral, he must have a conclusive hand.

Whether it was the death of Old Master Cheng or the fact that Cheng Juan wasn’t part of the Cheng family, both had a significant impact on Cheng Juan.

The Cheng family would never let an outsider be the next head of the family.

The noble and respectable son had now fallen from grace.

In the past, many people in the capital treated him respectfully, but now many were gloating over his misfortune and thinking of ways to step on him.

Elder Xu was worried about Cheng Juan’s condition as he had to deal with two very difficult things.

Ordinary people would have been affected.

The only one who could help out from the Qin family was Qin Xiuchen, but he was filming far away in Continent M. That was why Elder Xu came over hurriedly.

As soon as the Cheng family incident was revealed, the ending might not be good. The Jiang family, Lu family, and other families that were connected to the Cheng family would definitely break their agreements.

Including making Qin Ran the heir of the Research Institute.

This was a risky situation. Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were in a very awkward place.

He had never been involved in any situation in Beijing and did not have any real power. Now that a fight was about to happen, Cheng Juan would definitely not have an easy time without Old Master Cheng.

“If Cheng Raohan is in power, I can’t guarantee that he will spare you. He’s narrow-minded, and there are too many people in Beijing waiting to see you two fall,” Elder Xu said thoughtfully.

He was right.

Besides Cheng Juan, many people in the capital were waiting for Qin Ran to become a joke.

Qin Ran replied, “Don’t worry.”

She looked at the stairs.

To Cheng Juan, Old Master Cheng was like her grandma to her. His name only carried weight when Old Master Cheng was around, and only then was he able to settle the Cheng family affairs clearly and not be afraid of those around him.

Elder Xu told Qin Ran more about the current situation before leaving.

Qin Ran and Cheng Mu sent Elder Xu and Second Uncle Xu to the elevator.

“Find someone to monitor the Cheng and Ouyang families. Ran Ran, also try to find out about their current situation.” Although Qin Ran said that they did not have to worry, Elder Xu thought that she still needed some help and was not at ease.

The only good thing was that Second Uncle Xu and the Xu family were able to quickly recognize Qin Ran as the heir of the Research Institute.

After all...

The golden 1% of the Continent M shares market was controlled by the members of the Xu family.

Second Uncle Xu said, “I’ll immediately prepare for it.”

Elder Xu didn’t say anything. His face was solemn, and he was very concerned about Qin Ran.

When the elevator reached the ground floor, Elder Xu walked out and looked up at the gray sky.

He was afraid that things were going to change very quickly.

...

Upstairs.

Qin Ran answered several calls from Song Luting, Wei Zihang, Lin Siran, and Brother Ye... They were all asking about her current state.

Qin Ran posted something directly to her circle of friends.

Only then did the calls stop.

After two hours, Qin Hanqiu, Butler Qin, and others also rushed over.

“Where’s Xiao Cheng?” Qin Hanqiu took Cheng Mu’s tea and asked anxiously without drinking it.

Ever since Qin Ling’s incident, he had been focused on running the Qin family and the company with Butler Qin and had an understanding of Beijing and the forces there.

He knew that what happened to Cheng Juan was a huge impact.

“Upstairs.” Qin Ran put down her phone and said to him before realizing how fast the news about Cheng Juan not being a biological son of the Cheng family spread.

It seemed like someone was deliberately stirring things up.

As Qin Ran spoke, Cheng Juan came downstairs.

Except for a colder expression, he seemed to be the same as before.

“Uncle. Butler Qin.” He stood at the side as he said in a calm and clear voice.

“Xiao Cheng.” Qin Hanqiu looked at him and sighed. He reached out to pat Cheng Juan’s shoulder. “My condolences.”

“Thank you, Uncle,” Cheng Juan said softly.

He looked a little weary.

And also a little startled.

However, he was still strangely calm and looked like he could still analyze the current situation in the capital. He turned to look at Qin Hanqiu. “How is the Qin family?”

“Xiao Cheng,” Qin Hanqiu said seriously. “Don’t worry about the Qin family affairs now. Everything is ok. If you need anything, let me know.”

“That’s good.” Cheng Juan wasn’t very convinced, but he still nodded.

For the first time, Qin Hanqiu did not quarrel with Qin Ran and Cheng Juan. He only pursed his lips and sat on the sofa.

He knew in his heart that the current situation was not good. In a few hours, Cheng Juan’s affairs were publicized in all their social circles.

However, Qin Hanqiu and Butler Qin still avoided Qin Ling. Qin Ling lowered his head to look at his phone but tightened his grip.

Qin Hanqiu stayed for dinner and ensured that Qin Ran and Cheng Juan were fine before leaving.

The three of them went downstairs. Ah Wen drove the car, Butler Qin sat in the passenger’s seat, and Qin Hanqiu and Qin Ling sat in the back seat.

“Dad.” Qin Ling looked at the neon lights outside the window and became determined. “I want to go to Continent M.”

Qin Hanqiu was startled.

Butler Qin also looked at him from the rearview mirror and asked, “Young Master, do you want to learn from your great uncle?”

The last time, Qin Xiuchen conveyed Tang Jun’s intentions, but Qin Ling did not respond.

He only had his talent, his own self-study, and Lu Zhixin’s occasional guidance so far.

“Yes.” Qin Ling nodded firmly.

He had decided this by himself. Butler Qin and Qin Hanqiu did not doubt him. They immediately called Qin Xiuchen, and, after confirming it, they called Tang Jun.

...

Beijing Financial Building.

With a man in a black suit by her side, Ouyang Wei stood at her desk and faced a middle-aged man respectfully.

The middle-aged man sat by the desk and leaned back on his chair. “How are things going?”

“Cheng Shui was taken over by Fei Bao. Cheng Huo has been overtaken by the other parties involved. The two of them are on a plane now and will return back tomorrow morning.” The man in the black suit respectfully said, “Young Master’s relationship with the Cheng family has been publicly revealed, and many people want to bring him down.”

“You also need to step up your actions.” The middle-aged man looked at Ouyang Wei warmly. “The two of them won’t be able to deal with it. After a few days, they will look for me.”
