Qiao Sheng heard this and scratched his head.
He just glanced silently at Qin Ran's left hand.
The fact that Qin Ran was a left-hander... was known by the whole school. But now, her left hand was in a plaster.
The director of the orthopedics department had said just now that even with the experimental drugs in the laboratory, Qin Ran wouldn't be able to use her left hand for a while.
But the college entrance examination was the day after tomorrow. Unless they could turn back time, how else was she going to take the exam?
After hearing her words, everyone in the ward felt like she couldn't accept the fact that she couldn't take the college entrance examination.
They were genuinely afraid of upsetting her, so they followed along and Lin Siran immediately changed her tune."You can take the exam, of course you can! You're so impressive!"
Butler Cheng also tried his best."Miss Qin, you can take the exam anytime you want."
Qin Ran was speechless. She didn't want to reply to these people.
Carrying a bag of medicines, Cheng Juan came in while answering a call from Jiang Hui.
The news of the car accident at Yun Cheng's First Middle School had been blocked. However, Cheng Juan had left the room in the middle of the conversation with such a bad expression, so the few people in Yun Cheng had found out what happened by asking around.
The news of Qin Ran's accident had therefore leaked.
"It wasn't an accident?" Jiang Hui knew about Qin Ran's relationship with Qian Dui and Feng Loucheng. He inquired about the situation while on the phone with Cheng Juan, afraid that someone would seek revenge on her.
Cheng Juan lowered his eyes. There were many people in the ward, so he just responded calmly, "No."
"Do you need manpower?" Jiang Hui narrowed his eyes.
Putting down the bag of medicines, Cheng Juan took out two bottles of medicine from inside and unscrewed the caps with one hand."I won't need your men."
After he hung up, Jiang Hui raised an eyebrow."It looks like someone really provoked him..."
Who was so brave?
No one in Beijing dared to provoke him, but this person wasn't afraid of death?
He thought for a moment and still took his coat and got up.
His secretary asked him what he was doing, so he replied while taking out his phone to call Jiang Dongye, "I'm going over to check it out." Beijing wasn't as lively as Yun Cheng these days.
After he hung up the phone, Cheng Juan poured four pills on the lid and handed them to Qin Ran.
Butler Cheng frowned at Qin Ran's plastered arm, both worried and distressed.
He immediately went to pour water for her.
Before his hand even touched the glass bottle beside him, Cheng Juan had already poured a glass of water and handed it to Qin Ran.
He watched as Qin Ran finished her meal and ate the medicine. Then, he stood up and motioned for Lu Zhaoying to come out with his eyes.

As soon as they came out, Cheng Mu also arrived.
"What the f*ck." Lu Zhaoying had endured his anger in front of Qin Ran, but once the door closed, he crushed the cigarette in his hand angrily."Who is the mastermind?!"
He shut his eyes.
Before this, he had boasted about Qin Ran in front of many people.
He had watched as Qin Ran blocked off everyone else in Heng Chuan First Middle School, suppressing them all by scoring first place in five subjects across the city.
After taking a break from school for half a year and returning, the school forum was full of posts about her, and some people were even speculating about this year's dark horse.
Qin Ran was impressively on the list.
Lu Zhaoying had even prepared a big banner and had bought the largest advertising screen in the center of Yun Cheng, ready to celebrate with the whole city after receiving Qin Ran's college entrance examination results.
But who knew that something like this would happen at this time?!
Cheng Mu fully empathized with Lu Zhaoying's feelings and also chuckled coldly."Meng Xinran, a member of the Meng family in Beijing."
"There's a Meng family in Beijing?" Cheng Juan narrowed his eyes at Cheng Mu.
"An outcast family." Lu Zhaoying remembered this person. Meng Xinran used to be Team OST's substitute player and had conflicts with Qin Ran before. Because of that, he had even ordered people to make moves on the Meng family, but who knew that they would be so brave and fearless."The nerve of them."
He directly threw the squashed cigarette in his hand into the trash bin, then walked towards the stairs."Have you found out where she's at?"
Cheng Mu followed him."She's in the Lin family's house."
Previously, Lu Zhaoying had managed to turn the Meng family into pandemonium with just one word, and they had almost been squeezed out of Beijing.
But now that they had provoked Qin Ran...
Even if the Meng family was a cat with nine lives, it still wouldn't be enough for Meng Xinran to live free and easy.

The Lin family's house.
It was lunchtime.
Lin Jinxuan stayed at home today, busying himself in the study upstairs.
"The official news of the Yunguang Consortium won't be out until the end of the month." He sat in front of the computer with his headphones, talking to Feng Ci.
On his computer was a three-dimensional map.
Feng Ci responded, "Do you know about Qin Ran's injury?"
Lin Jinxuan was pressing the keyboard with one hand and holding the mouse in the other. When he heard this, his heart trembled and he pressed the wrong key before deleting it."Injured?"
He stood up immediately.
His voice was tight.
The college entrance examination was in two days. Recently, the Lin family had been tense because there were two candidates in the house.
But Qin Ran was injured at this time?
"My Dad just went to the hospital. I heard her left hand's bone is fractured and she can't move it for a month. Wasn't she a left-hander?" Feng Ci shook his head."It's too strange, how could it have happened just two days before the examination?"
Lin Jinxuan reached out and turned off the computer. His originally indifferent face was now laced with worry."Which hospital is she in?"
While talking, he walked downstairs.
Downstairs.
Deep in thought, Meng Xinran pushed the door open after seeing that there was no news on her phone.
She didn't hear Lin Qi calling her.
Qin Yu, Lin Qi, and the others were all waiting at the dinner table. Meng Xinran just sat down when Lin Jinxuan rushed down from upstairs.
"Brother." Qin Yu smiled at him."Where are you going?"
Lin Jinxuan walked towards the gate and paused before turning to look at Ning Qing."Qin Ran was in a car accident and probably can't take the college entrance examination. Aunt, do you know about this?"
Hearing this, Meng Xinran, who had just sat down, clenched her hands into fists aggressively, but no one noticed her expression.
Ning Qing shook her head and looked up at Lin Jinxuan in shock."Is she okay?"
"Her left hand suffered a bone fracture, but it's not life-threatening." Lin Jinxuan frowned lightly.
Ning Qing's attitude made him feel very annoyed. He said nothing more and directly left.
After his departure, the people at the table exchanged glances.
Lin Qi put down his chopsticks and frowned, slightly worried."How could she have encountered such a thing during the college entrance examination? She's even a left-hander."
"Then she won't be taking the college entrance examination this year?" Qin Yu stared at Lin Jinxuan's back and pursed her lips.
After a while, she laughed.
Hearing that Qin Ran wasn't in a life-threatening situation, she heaved a sigh of relief but still felt very complicated."It's okay as long as she's fine. What difference does it make if she can't take the exam?"
After thinking about it, she turned to look at Qin Yu."Yu'er, don't go outside during this time. Your hands are more valuable than others, so you must protect them."
"Got it, Mom." Qin Yu looked away from Lin Jinxuan.
Previously, when Qin Ran had injured her right hand, Chen Shulan had told her that she wasn't left-handed.
But Ning Qing felt like it didn't matter.
After all, Qin Ran had taken a leave of absence for more than a year despite her results. To her, it really didn't make a difference whether or not she took the exam.
It would be less embarrassing if other people thought that she couldn't go to college because she had injured herself in a car accident.
Meng Xinran, sitting on the side, seemed to relax after hearing that Qin Ran couldn't take the college entrance examination.
Picking up her chopsticks, she lowered her eyes and took a bite of rice, her drooping eyes full of mockery.
Previously, because of Qin Ran, she had suffered countless setbacks in the Lin family and in school. Ultimately, she had been kicked out of Team OST, and her status had plummeted.
Qin Ran had finally dropped out of school for half a year, but the moment she came back, the school forum had been filled with discussions about her.
Meng Xinran originally thought that Qin Ran's grades were so bad that the teachers didn't even bother, but who knew that her first midterm exam would be so surprising.
Both in games and studies... All of which Meng Xinran took pride in had been crushed by her.
A seed of jealousy had germinated and grown into a towering tree.
She noticed that Qin Ran never visited the Lin family after her return. After meticulous observation, it was obvious that Qin Ran wasn't in a good relationship with Qin Yu.
Without the Lin family's and Qin Yu's protection, Meng Xinran really didn't feel a need to fear Qin Ran.
Even though the Meng family was in a worse position than before, they were still untouchable to Qin Ran.
Looking down at her phone, Meng Xinran saw that there was no news on Weibo or the Internet. She heaved a sigh of relief.
If nobody paid any attention, Qin Ran wouldn't be able to cause big waves either.
She picked up a piece of vegetable and was about to eat it.
But a bodyguard rushed in from outside."Mr. Lin, bad news, someone has broken in!"
Meng Xinran turned to look out the door, completely unaware that this group of people had come for her. Unbeknownst to her, she had provoked a few big bosses.
