Chapter 103 - Can You Recover?

How could she let Qin Ran be?

She took a step back and turned to the side.

Qiao Sheng, Xu Yaoguang, and Director Ding all reached out at almost the same time to stop Qin Yu.

Xu Yaoguang looked fixedly at Qin Yu. “I’ve already asked people to look at the CCTV.”

Qin Yu pursed her lips. “You don’t believe me.”

Qiao Sheng had long been biased towards Qin Ran. Qin Yu could endure this. But she didn’t expect that Xu Yaoguang, who had always been on her side, wouldn’t believe her.

The Dean as well.

The three of them with the most say in this dressing room seemed to be standing on Qin Ran’s side.

Their subconscious attitude was like an invisible slap to Qin Yu.

Xu Yaoguang’s eyes were lowered and his eyes were cold. “It won’t be too late to wait until the CCTV results are out.”

Director Ding stood aside and didn’t speak.

He just glanced at Qin Ran and remembered she was the girl who had snatched the limelight during the last speech.

He had been very impressed that day.

Thus, he also remembered that Qin Yu had deliberately told him that Qin Ran had lost her script before the latter even began her speech.

He had been the Dean for many years and naturally understood the little tricks that these girls played.

He also knew that Qin Yu’s mind wasn’t so pure.

So he had stopped her before Qin Yu could slap Qin Ran.

At the same time.

At the intersection by the school.

Cheng Juan’s half-narrowed eyes suddenly opened.

He picked up his phone and looked at it. It was past 5:20.

He lowered the car window and looked at the intersection. There were a lot of students crossing the road.

No matter where she was, Qin Ran would exude a special aura and could be seen with one sweep across the crowd.

But he didn’t see her.

Cheng Juan took his phone and opened the car door to get off.

Cheng Mu always followed Cheng Juan and also put his hand on the door when he saw him get off.

“Hey.” Lu Zhaoying was playing a game when he saw that Cheng Mu also wanted to get off. He couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. “Think about it, do you think Master Juan wants you to join him?”

Cheng Mu was speechless.

He lowered his hand and sat back down expressionlessly.

Lu Zhaoying crossed his legs and started another game.

He looked up and saw a short-haired girl walking slowly by the roadside. Her head was lowered and she was wearing glasses, exuding a very dull and boring impression.

Lu Zhaoying was stunned. He touched his ear studs subconsciously and then handed his phone to Cheng Mu. “Help me play this game.”

In the dressing room of the auditorium, several people retrieved the surveillance footage and came back.

“Director Ding, the video was deliberately destroyed.” A teacher handed the computer to Director Ding. “Nothing was captured.”

In other words, it was impossible to find out the person who had destroyed Qin Yu’s violin.

The matter seemed to be at a dead end now.

Qin Yu stared at Qin Ran and sneered. “You should have known that the surveillance cameras couldn’t be used from the beginning, right? You’re so smart, wouldn’t you know to destroy the cameras in advance?”

Director Ding frowned. “There’s no evidence. Classmate Qin Yu, please don’t speak without evidence.”

Ning Qing stared deeply at Qin Ran and seemed a little tired. She didn’t know what to say and just whispered, “Director Ding, my apologies, this is our family’s matter and is a little trouble between my children. I’ve really troubled you...”

She had excused Qin Ran in her words but had also hammered shame on Qin Ran.

One was a daughter she had been biased against and didn’t like very much since young.

The other was a daughter she had taught herself and liked very much. Ning Qing didn’t need to think twice about who she believed more.

Furthermore, she knew that Qin Ran didn’t forgive Qin Yu at all about the Weibo incident from last time.

It wasn’t entirely impossible for Qin Ran to be resentful.

“Mom—” Qin Yu was obviously dissatisfied with this solution.

Qin Ran lowered her head and wrapped her fingers around her cap.

There weren’t many people in the dressing room.

And it wasn’t that noisy outside.

But in Qin Ran’s mind, it was like someone was stirring her brain with a wooden stick as if cooking pasta. The string that had been tight in her mind suddenly snapped.

Qin Ran raised her head and licked her lips. Then, she looked at Qin Yu and Ning Qing. “Am I very close to you—”

She was used to using her hands and speaking coarsely.

She was often hotheaded and would roll up her sleeves and settle the problem directly.

But today—

Her logic hadn’t disappeared completely.

She seemed to hear a voice at the side and lowered her head lazily, like a crumbling star with a little bit of unclear tenderness—

“What’s the matter?”

The door was pushed open and a black flat shirt cuff was seen. The man had slender fingers that shone like jade and were extremely defined.

Looking up, his eyes were like a vast starry sky.

At this time, even Qin Yu was stunned by him.

In the dressing room, the only person who knew Cheng Juan was Xu Yaoguang. He looked at Cheng Juan in disbelief and didn’t expect him to come here.

If Qin Yu had looked at Xu Yaoguang, she would definitely have reacted, for Xu Yaoguang rarely lost his composure.

Even Director Ding was stunned.

He didn’t know Cheng Juan’s identity but had been secretly advised by Principal Xu several times not to touch the people in the school doctor’s office.

To avoid trouble, Principal Xu had even shown Director Ding the pictures of the people in the school doctor’s office.

As for Ning Qing, she recognized that it was the person who had threatened her in the hospital, so she took a few fearful steps back subconsciously.

Cheng Juan naturally didn’t pay attention to the other people.

His gaze fell on Qin Ran’s face and his eyebrows wrinkled slightly as he walked towards her.

Qin Ran gradually returned to her senses at his familiar cold fragrance.

Cheng Juan didn’t look at her as his eyes fell on Xu Yaoguang, his only acquaintance in the room.

Xu Yaoguang recovered and returned to his senses.

He didn’t dare to look at Cheng Juan, lowered his head slightly, and explained the situation.

Cheng Juan’s ability to control the atmosphere was very strong. Nobody in the room knew him, but they couldn’t help but follow his orders.

He lowered his head, looked at the computer on the table, and pressed the charger with his fingertips. “You’re saying the surveillance data was destroyed?”

Xu Yaoguang and Director Ding both nodded.

Cheng Juan reached out and knocked on the computer, then pointed at the table and asked Qin Ran, “Can you restore the data?”
