You were made to take the blame and go to jail, but you weren't made a master of both medicine

Qin Ran quickly drove to his destination.

The two entered the hotel and took the elevator to the top floor.

Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou were led to the Emperor's Private Room by the waiter.

Pushing open the door, Gu Yuanshen was chatting with Zuo Renchao.

When Gu Yuanshen saw Qin Ran arrive, his expression immediately changed.

He began to question Gu Xinrou.

"I told you to come over for dinner, why did you call this convict here?!"

"I've already told you I have a boyfriend, but you insisted on making me come. If you're not happy about it, we can leave now," Gu Xinrou said expressionlessly.

Gu Yuanshen sneered: "Xinrou, stop lying to me. I've already observed him secretly. He's not your boyfriend at all. You're just trying to use him as a shield."

Gu Xinrou was speechless.

Gu Yuanshen actually sent people to secretly monitor her.

That's absolutely outrageous.

She and Qin Ran didn't have any intimate interactions, nor did they go to private places together.

Anyone who observes carefully can see it.

"If I say he is, then he is," Gu Xinrou said.

Zuo Renchao said with a smile, "Uncle, it's alright that Xinrou brought her friends over. Let's all sit down and have a meal together."

"Young Master Zuo is magnanimous; he doesn't stoop to the level of this girl."

"Uncle, you flatter me." After saying that, Zuo Renchao turned to Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou and said, "Please have a seat."

Qin Ran and Gu Xinrou pulled out chairs and sat down.

Then, Zuo Renchao began to have the waiters serve the dishes.

Dishes of wild ginseng and seafood were served on the dining table.

Qin Ran glanced at Zuo Renchao, seemingly casually.

Based on his experience and judging from the other person's appearance and temperament, this guy should be a cunning and scheming man.

This type of man appears polite on the surface and gives the impression of a perfectionist.

In reality, he is very cunning and scheming.

Once the food and drinks were served, everyone ate and chatted.

"Qin Ran, it's generous of Young Master Zuo that you're sitting here to eat. I hope that after this meal, you can keep your distance from my daughter. I don't want someone like you around her." Gu Yuanshen glanced at Qin Ran.

"You treat Xinrou like a daughter, but she may not treat you like a father."

"How dare you be so rude! You convicts are truly a disgrace. What a spoilsport!" Gu Yuanshen rebuked angrily.

Qin Ran smiled but didn't reply.

He could make that old man furious with just one sentence.

If it weren't for Gu Xinrou's sake, he would have already taken action.

"Uncle, calm down. It's not worth ruining your health." After saying that, Zuo Renchao looked at Qin Ran and said, "Mr. Qin, you're being far too rude to your elders. Don't you even know the most basic respect for the elderly and care for the young?"

"In terms of manners, I'm far inferior to Young Master Zuo. I'm a straightforward person. I heard you come from a prominent family in Kyoto?" Qin Ran asked deliberately.

Zuo Renchao replied, "Our Zuo family would rank among the top five in Kyoto, a truly top-tier family."

"Amazing! Amazing!"

Zuo Renchao looked at Qin Ran with a mocking expression.

Such trash doesn't even deserve to be compared to him.

But if it looks too bad, it will definitely anger Gu Xinrou.

Gu Xinrou is the president of the Xijing branch of the Black Emperor Consortium.

She is beautiful and capable.

Zuo Renchao also fell in love with her at first sight.

However, with Qin Ran causing trouble, it won't be so easy to succeed.

We need to find a way to force Qin Ran away from Gu Xinrou.

Zuo Renchao frowned and began to think of a solution.

At the same time, Gu Yuanshen said, "Qin Ran, the fact that you can recognize the gap between Young Master Zuo and you proves that you have some self-awareness. I hope you will be more sensible and leave my daughter as soon as possible, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite."

Qin Ran suddenly had a flash of inspiration and thought of something.

"You should still remember Xing Haifeng, the young master of the Xing family, right? You wanted to introduce him to Xinrou before, but then he died, and the Xing family was destroyed. Aren't you curious about why?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Yuanshen's expression changed drastically.

He still hasn't gotten over this.

Xing Haifeng had said he would personally deal with Qin Ran.

As a result, he and his father were inexplicably killed by a mysterious force.

The Xing family thus perished.

The matter was quickly suppressed by the relevant authorities in Shanghai.

Could this be related to Qin Ran?

That's absolutely impossible.

He was just a convict; how could he possibly have the power to wipe out the Xing family?

This is nonsense.

"Stop bluffing. Do you think I'll be afraid of you just because you say that? The Xing family was wiped out because they offended a mysterious force. What does that have to do with you? Stop making a mountain out of a molehill." Gu Yuanshen glanced at Qin Ran.

"So that's what you think. Then pretend I didn't say anything." Qin Ran said, taking a sip of wine.

Gu Yuanshen kept looking at Qin Ran.

Judging from his tone, does he know some inside information?

Gu Yuanshen was somewhat bewildered.

At the same time, Gu Xinrou put down her chopsticks and looked at Gu Yuanshen: "I came here today to solemnly tell you that you should not introduce me to any more potential partners. I have said that Qin Ran is my boyfriend and no one can replace him. This is the last time I will say this."

Gu Yuanshen's face darkened: "Don't talk to me like that. I know you still hate me because of your mother's death, but one thing is one thing. You can't gamble with your life's most important matter out of spite."

"If I introduce you to a bad person, you can refuse; I won't force you."

"But the man I'm introducing to you is the eldest son of the Zuo family in Kyoto. Do you know how many women want to marry into the Zuo family?"

"You're not a child anymore. Don't act impulsively like a little girl. I'm your father, and you have to listen to me on this matter."

Gu Xinrou found it ridiculous after hearing this.

Gu Yuanshen's words were even better than his singing.

He did all this for himself.

He just wants to climb the social ladder.

Gu Xinrou was too lazy to waste words with him.

"Qin Ran, let's go."

The next second, Zuo Renchao stood up: "President Gu, please wait."

"Is there anything else?"

"Let me correct what Uncle Gu just said. We don't necessarily have to be together. If we're not compatible, we can be friends. I've always taken a natural approach to relationships, and I believe in fate."

Zuo Renchao planned to retreat in order to first stabilize Gu Xinrou.

Then, get rid of Qin Ran, this thorn in our side.

As long as Qin Ran never appears again.

He'll win over Gu Xinrou sooner or later.

"Since Young Master Zuo is so understanding, then things are easy. We're not meant to be. Don't waste your time here. Go find someone else." Gu Xinrou said expressionlessly.

Zuo Renchao smiled and said, "Then I'll listen to you. Let's be friends. Tomorrow is the weekend. If you have time, I can invite you to relax at Yishuiwan International Resort. I've bought tickets there."

Qin Ran looked thoughtful after hearing this.

That's my own resort!

Why did Zuo Renchao invite Gu Xinrou there?

This scheming man definitely has ill intentions.

"I'm sorry, I don't have time tomorrow."

Qin Ran quickly said, "I heard that resort is pretty fun. Why don't we go and have some fun? I'll go with you."

Before Gu Xinrou could even speak, Gu Yuanshen angrily rebuked, "Can't you have any shame? Did they ask you to go? And you have the nerve to follow them?"

"I'm not going, and Xinrou won't go either," Qin Ran said with a sneer.

Gu Yuanshen was so angry he wanted to curse.

He had never seen a man with such thick skin.

Zuo Renchao's face also looked very bad.

This trash thinks too highly of himself.

We need to get rid of him quickly.

Since he insists on following us, we'll find a chance to teach him a lesson.

"If Mr. Qin wants to go, then let's go together. We're all friends, it's no problem," Zuo Renchao said with a forced smile.

Qin Ran smiled and said, "I'll bring Xinrou with me tomorrow, and there might be other beauties too. See you tomorrow."

After saying that, Qin Ran pulled Gu Xinrou away.

Zuo Renchao watched the two of them leave the private room.

He vowed to himself that he would make Qin Ran look like a complete fool tomorrow.

We have to torture him to death...

After leaving the restaurant, Qin Ran called a designated driver.

He and Gu Xinrou sat in the back row.

"Why did you accept Zuo Renchao's invitation?" Gu Xinrou asked.

"Based on my experience, this guy is probably a cunning man. Let's go over there tomorrow and see what tricks he's up to."

"To be honest, I really don't want to go."

"Since you don't want to date him, then resolve this problem as soon as possible. The way to resolve a problem is not to avoid it, but to face it head-on. Just wait, the best is yet to come," Qin Ran said to Gu Xinrou.
