After paying the bill, Ruan Xingmian asked the clerk about the location of the restroom, said something to Meng Yunxiu, and walked in.

"Mom, I want to go to the bathroom too. You guys get in the car first."

Ruan Jingxiao had been paying attention to her movements, and when he saw her going in, he also made the same excuse.

Meng Yunxiu looked at the two people in front and behind, a little funny, "These two brothers and sisters, do they have to go to the bathroom together?"

Ruan Yueyin was talking about jewelry with Feng Xuanxuan when she noticed that Ruan Jingxiao followed Ruan Xingmian into lady.m, which made her feel a little strange.

But her attention was quickly diverted by the vibrating cell phone.

When she unlocked the screen, she saw that there were already a dozen unread messages in the group chat, so she quickly clicked on them.

[Goddess of Music, congratulations, the "Wind Smoke" you played last time has been shortlisted for the Golden Music Award! As far as I know, you are the only student who has been shortlisted. Now we at NTU will be embarrassed! 】

[Yinyin, you are truly the pride of our Nanda University. You are handsome, rich and talented. Are you showing off all the food in your mouth? Wuwuwu, I won’t tell who is crying, I am so envious that I shed tears.jpg. 】

……

The gloom that had accumulated in Ruan Yueyin's heart was instantly swept away.

She glanced at Meng Yunxiu, who asked the driver to put the jewelry into the car, and replied on her mobile phone: "Everyone is so complimentary. I am also lucky." 】

[How could it be just luck? The strength of the goddess of music is obvious to all. 】

[Yes, apart from you, there is no other person from our school who can be shortlisted for the Golden Music Competition. 】

Such compliments made Ruan Yueyin very happy, and after thinking about it, she added another sentence.

[By the way, this time I recommended a relative to enter NTU. She will enter the preparatory class. She comes from a small place. She was originally admitted to a junior college, but failed to graduate due to some reasons, so please don't bully her and help me take care of her. 】

After she said this, people in the group started laughing.

[Goddess of Music, this relative of yours sounds a bit unexpected. He didn’t even graduate from a college. Could he have done something bad? 】

[Yes, she hasn’t been to school for a long time, right? I'm afraid people like this won't be able to stay in the preparatory class. 】

[Goddess of Music, you are so kind, you even help such a relative. Don't worry, since you have spoken, we will definitely take good care of her. 】

Ruan Yueyin raised her lips silently and replied: "Don't have any prejudice against her. Although she has not graduated from college and has indeed not been in school for a long time, she still works very hard." 】

Those people immediately praised Ruan Yueyin again, praising her beauty and her kindness.

Suddenly, another message rushed out of the group.

[Latest news: A big shot is coming tomorrow. Even the principal has come back early and requires everyone to wear formal attire! 】

Everyone's attention was instantly diverted, and they clamored to ask who it was.

But the person who sent the message only replied with two words - [Confidential. 】

The group messages were stacked one after another, but Ruan Yueyin didn't read much.

Compared with this matter, she cared more about how to give Ruan Xingmian a severe blow in her own territory.

lady.m’s office on the second floor.

Qin Lu guessed that Ruan Xingmian would come and prepared her favorite fruit tea for her in advance.

"My ancestor, do you know how difficult it has been for me recently? I won't talk about lady.m. Last time you promised Master Wen Hong to participate in this year's design competition, but it's been more than half a year. , and I didn’t see you submitting the design draft. She didn’t dare to urge you and could only come to block me, which made me afraid to go home for several days.”

Ruan Xingmian felt her deep resentment, but didn't care much. He took a few sips of fruit tea before answering, "Sister Lu, I'm really busy recently."

Qin Lu saw the dark circles under her eyes and was speechless, "You're not still staying up late playing games, are you?"

The first time she met Ruan Xingmian was in an Internet cafe. At that time, she went to catch her nephew who was not doing well. Unexpectedly, she accidentally saw Ruan Xingmian playing games and drawing on the white paper from time to time with a pen in his mouth.

Although Ruan Xingmian had only finished half of the drawing at the time, she was certain that this design would definitely win the award.

So she seized the opportunity to negotiate with Ruan Xingmian. She was already prepared to visit the thatched cottage three times. Unexpectedly, Ruan Xingmian only asked how much she could get and readily agreed.

Then came the founding, fame and expansion of lady.m...

Although there were some ups and downs along the way, overall it was pretty smooth.

A few years have passed, and now when I think back to the scene when I first met Ruan Xingmian, Qin Lu always feels like it was a dream.

Ruan Xingmian is no longer short of money now, so logically speaking, he shouldn't stay up late to take game orders.

Ruan Xingmian saw that she had misunderstood and had no intention of explaining, "Well, the game is quite fun."

Seeing how confidently she answered, Qin Lu was almost speechless with anger.

"No, you definitely don't make as much money playing games as you do designing. Besides, you're not short of money now. Wasting time on games is a waste of money. You must feed me every month, and I want to see you within a week. I promised to give Master Wen Hong the design draft, otherwise I want you to look good!"

Anyone else would have been frightened by Qin Lu's angry aura.

But Ruan Xingmian didn't. She ruffled her hair casually, changed her posture and continued to slump on the sofa drinking fruit tea.

"Sister Xia, I'm going to study soon, I don't have time."

"Studying?" Qin Lu was stunned for several seconds before she realized that Ruan Xingmian was only 18 years old this year and was indeed old enough to go to school.

It's not her fault, Ruan Xingmian is too talented, and the dragon usually never sees its end, she can't help but ignore the fact that this girl has just grown up.

Qin Lu couldn't refuse for this reason.

"It's a good thing to go to school, then...then I allow you to update slowly. But there is something you have to tell me. Aren't you the daughter of the Qiao family? How come you are with the Ruan family?"

Ruan Xingmian knew that Qin Lu was also from a big family, and the fact that she was the daughter of the Ruan family could not be hidden for long.

But that's fine, she didn't intend to hide Qin Lu's knowledge anyway.

"I am the biological daughter who has just been found by the Ruan family, but please don't tell anyone about this for the time being."

"You are the biological daughter that the Ruan family has been looking for for more than ten years!" Qin Lu was stunned.

What kind of shocking news is this?

Then she couldn't help but sigh: "I thought it was not easy for you before, but now it seems that all the hardships have come to an end. The Ruan family has a very good family tradition, and judging from the way your mother looks today, she should be very protective of you. That's good. You don't have to be like that in the future. Thanks for your hard work."

Ruan Xingmian knew that she was really doing her best and smiled at her.

But the next second, Qin Lu's face changed again, and she reminded seriously: "Although you are now the daughter of the Ruan family, you must also take lady.m's affairs at heart, otherwise I will never be done with you!"

"Don't worry." Ruan Xingmian took the unfinished fruit tea in his hand, stood up and said, "My mother is still waiting for me, I'll leave first."

Qin Lu sent her to the door and told her some things before letting her go.

As soon as Ruan Xingmian walked to the elevator, she saw Ruan Jingxiao, who was slender and well-proportioned, leaning there with his hands folded over his chest, as if waiting for her.

She was slightly surprised, but her expression didn't reveal anything. She calmly drank the last sip of fruit tea before calling out: "Third Brother."

Ruan Jingxiao saw that she was not panicked at all, and raised his eyebrows with a slight smile.

"Aren't you going to the bathroom? Why did you come out of Director Qin's office?"

Ruan Xingmian looked at him with clear eyes and asked directly: "Are you doubting me?"

"It's not suspicion." Ruan Jingxiao stood up, his twinkling peach blossom eyes looking closely at me, "Mianmian, you haven't answered my question yet."

Ruan Xingmian saw the seriousness in his eyes and explained calmly, "Director Qin wanted to invite me to be the spokesperson of lady.m, but I refused."

Ruan Jingxiao was startled for a moment, "That's it?"

"What else can I do? Does Third Brother think that I have another relationship with Director Qin?" Ruan Xingmian shrugged and asked.

Ruan Jingxiao had indeed doubted this. After all, Qin Lu didn't look at her like she was a stranger.

It could be seen that she was so calm, and he was a little unsure.

And he was also worried that his temptation would be too straightforward and would hurt her.

"The third brother is overthinking it, don't be angry. Let's go, mom is still waiting for us." He patted her shoulder.

Ruan Xingmian knew that this person was still suspicious, but she didn't care much.

As long as it doesn't touch her bottom line, it's all trivial.
