Ma'am You Have Been Uncovered

Chapter 491: Yours Sincerely

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“Third Young Master, Miss Qin.” The other hall masters stood up immediately and greeted them respectfully.

The people at the dining table couldn’t help but cast their eyes on Qin Ran.

Their curiosity was mixed with rare respect.

Cheng Raohan felt suffocated just seeing them.

News of the four major families of the Research Institute returning to Continent M had already been informed.

They were naturally no strangers to Qin Ran.

If the Cheng family had cast sidelong glances at her last time because of the variety show, her violin skills, and the college entrance examination, this time, they were simply in awe of her because of the wave she made in the physics world.

It wasn’t unusual for there to be a top scorer in the college entrance examination every year.

As for the violin, the Cheng family didn’t really place much value on it...

But Continent M... with one ounce of effort, she managed to let the Research Institute return to Continent M’s field of vision, and even opened up a market in Beijing. This was enough for the other hall masters of the Cheng family to see her strength and potential.

They knew she had endless potential in the future, it was no surprise that she would reach the position of a senior in the Research Institute.

This point alone was enough to make them respect her.

“Sorry, I came late.” Qin Ran bowed her head after greeting them one by one.

“No, no.” Cheng Wenru crossed her legs and looked down at her phone. “There’s still half an hour left. Butler Qin, tell them to serve the dishes.”

The dishes were served one by one.

Cheng Wenru talked about Continent M with Old Master Cheng and Qin Ran.

“It’s so late, why don’t you stay here tonight? There are still several beautiful houses in my wing.” Cheng Wenru held her chopsticks and looked at her with a smile. “There’ll be a fireworks show in the evening.”

Qin Ran paused and slightly turned to look at Cheng Juan.

He casually peeled a small shrimp and stuffed it into her mouth. “Then, stay tonight. You have the day off tomorrow, right? It’s on the way to see Uncle as well,” he said lazily.

Qin Ran was really tired these two days and didn’t bother to continue this conversation.

Upon receiving this news, both Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng were very excited.

Sitting on the side, Cheng Raohan wasn’t in a good mood.

After dinner, Cheng Wenru eagerly took Qin Ran to see the wing. Qin Ran handed over two invitation cards to Cheng Wenru and Old Master Cheng. “The date is fixed on March 1st.”

Cheng Wenru casually accepted it and didn’t open it in front of her.

Right now, she was excited about preparing for Qin Ran to live in her wing. She led her to the wing on her high heels.

Cheng Juan put his hands behind his head and lazily followed them.

His wing wasn’t far.

He was rather calm and unhurried.

“March 1st?” Cheng Raohan and the other hall masters were still at the dining table when they heard this and looked up at Old Master Cheng. “Miss Qin also has a banquet?”

“It seems so.” Banquets were held often at this time of the year, and they often collided.

This kind of thing didn’t happen once or twice.

Most of them picked the important one to go to and sent a representative for the less important ones.

“Dad, are you pushing the Xu family’s heir banquet back?” Cheng Raohan’s expression changed.

Although he knew that his father had always favored Cheng Juan and Qin Ran, he didn’t expect him to become this demented? historical

The others paused upon hearing that.

They remained silent while staring at Old Master Cheng, but their expressions were obviously in disagreement with him.

The Xu family was no trivial matter.

Old Master Cheng casually waved his hand. “I have my limits.”

With his hands behind his back, he walked to his study room through the corridor. Butler Cheng pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of his nose and waited for Old Master Cheng to stop at the desk before he paused. “Old Master...”

“You also think it’s inappropriate?” Old Master Cheng glanced at him.

Standing seven steps away, Butler Cheng pursed his lips upon hearing this. Naturally, he felt like Qin Ran was more important.

But the family members wouldn’t feel the same.

The Xu family had risen very quickly in the past year with the momentum of the Cheng family.

Elder Xu’s heir was certainly an important affair, and Old Master Cheng would certainly be given an invitation as well. If he wasn’t present... the impact would be significant.

Seeing that Butler Cheng was silent, Old Master Cheng lowered his head, deep in thought.

Someone knocked on the door outside.

“Come in.” Without looking up, Old Master Cheng opened the invitation.

The hall masters entered and bent over 90 degrees before sincerely saying, “Old Master, please think twice about the Xu family’s matters.”

They couldn’t be blamed for being nervous.

Because of Cheng Juan, Old Master Cheng’s bottom line was repeatedly discounted, and he made unprecedented decisions.

The Cheng family and even the whole of Beijing was already used to it.

Otherwise, the name “Master Juan” wouldn’t shake the entire Beijing.

Forget about the things that didn’t endanger the Cheng family. Now, Old Master Cheng’s decision would somewhat endanger the friendship between the Cheng and Xu families.

They finished speaking and still didn’t see any reaction from Old Master Cheng.

He was looking down at the invitation card in his hands, which seemed to be shaking.

The hall masters lowered their heads and exchanged glances.

“Old Master Cheng?” Butler Cheng called and took a step forward.

Old Master Cheng still didn’t react.

“Old Master?” Butler Cheng called again.

Only then did Old Master Cheng react. Slamming the invitation card down, he hurried out of the study room without saying anything.

Behind him, Butler Cheng and the other hall masters were all confused.

Butler Cheng had followed Old Master Cheng the longest and immediately realized something was wrong with the invitation.

He walked to the desk, picked up the invitation card, and took a look.

His hands also paused while holding the edge of the invitation card, and his pair of muddy eyes shrank sharply.

Butler Cheng’s reaction was strange too...

The other hall masters were anxious. “Butler Cheng, what on earth happened? What does Old Master Cheng mean?”

“Everyone, don’t worry about which banquet the Old Master has to attend.” He took a deep breath and showed the invitation card to them.

The words on the gilded invitation were obvious.

[Invitation: Mr. Cheng

On March 1st...]

Everyone skipped past the middle line and focused on the lower-left corner—

[Your sincerely, Xu Shiying]

Everyone in the study fell silent.

Butler Cheng could even hear his own breathing.

Xu Shiying, the name of the Xu family member who was in charge of two powers.
