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

Chu Qingcheng looked at Qin Ran: "To say that I don't mind would be against my conscience, but as you said, it was a task given to you by your master, and you had to complete it, so I can understand and accept it."

Qin Ran suddenly understood: "Since you don't mind, let's do it my way. Let's go find your grandfather now."

"good!"

Afterwards, Qin Ran and Chu Qingcheng went to Chu Zhenlong's office.

The two explained their purpose.

Chu Zhenlong was overjoyed upon hearing this.

Qin Ran is willing to make their relationship public with Chu Qingcheng.

This means that the Chu family can now firmly hold Qin Ran, their financial backer, in their hands.

He then instructed his assistant to arrange a board meeting.

About half an hour later, all the directors arrived at the conference room.

Chu Wan'er and Sun Qing also went.

Although these two no longer hold much status in the Chu family, they still own shares and are shareholders of the Chu Group.

Everyone was surprised.

They didn't understand why Chu Zhenlong suddenly convened a board meeting.

However, some people guessed the reason.

Chu Zhenlong looked at everyone and said with a smile, "I've gathered you all here to announce something. My granddaughter Chu Qingcheng and Qin Ran are officially boyfriend and girlfriend from today onwards. Qin Ran will also be the son-in-law of our Chu family in the future."

After hearing this, everyone whispered among themselves.

Is it necessary to announce this at a board meeting?

They couldn't understand what the old man was thinking.

Chu Wan'er and Sun Qing were both very pleased to hear everyone's discussion.

The old man wanted to announce this news so that Chu Qingcheng could naturally take over as chairman.

He was just being too unrealistic.

Qin Ran is indeed very strong.

This makes many people wary.

However, the board members would not agree to appoint Chu Qingcheng as chairman simply because she is dating Qin Ran; that is utter nonsense.

Chu Wan'er said sarcastically, "Grandpa, there's no need to announce this at the board meeting. Anyone with eyes can see the relationship between Qin Ran and Chu Qingcheng. It's perfectly normal for them to be together."

"You may not know this, but Qin Ran has another identity. He is Qin Shaohuang, the dark son of the Dragon's Prison. His relationship with Qingcheng is a tremendous boon to our Chu family. I'm telling you all this great news. Is there any problem?"

Chu Wan'er was struck dumb upon hearing this.

Qin Ran is Qin Shaohuang.

How is that possible!

Soon, Chu Wan'er remembered what had happened before.

Qin Ran had previously told her, in a joking tone, that she was Qin Shaohuang.

But she simply didn't believe it.

Meanwhile, everyone else was also shocked.

Sun Qing looked at Chu Jindong beside her with a malicious expression.

Chu Jindong's expression said it all.

"Did you already know Qin Ran's identity?"

Chu Jindong did not respond, but simply sat upright.

Sun Qing was so angry that she gritted her teeth.

This scoundrel actually colluded with outsiders to scheme against his wife and daughter.

They are heartless and cruel, worse than pigs and dogs.

At that moment, Sun Qing felt like killing someone.

Chu Zhenlong added, "In addition, I have something else to announce. Next Monday, we will continue to vote at the board meeting on whether or not to appoint Chu Qingcheng as chairman. I hope that all directors will put aside their prejudices and cast this precious vote fairly and impartially."

These directors aren't stupid.

They understood what Chu Zhenlong meant.

If you vote against it at this time, you will offend Qin Shaohuang.

Offending him will not end well.

"Chairman, there's no need to wait until next Monday. Let's vote now. I agree to let Chu Qingcheng serve as the chairman of Chu's Group."

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"..."

One by one, the crowd cast their votes in favor.

Chu Zhenlong revealed a satisfied smile.

Suddenly, Chu Wan'er stood up: "I object!"

"I also object!" Sun Qing agreed.

Chu Zhenlong looked annoyed: "No need to shout so loudly. I'm not deaf. You can vote against it, but in the end, the minority must obey the majority."

Chu Wan'er ignored him, staring intently at Qin Ran: "You bastard, you liar."

"What did I lie to you about?" Qin Ran retorted.

"You slept with me twice, and now you want to be with Chu Qingcheng? Have you lost all your conscience?"

Everyone was shocked by these words.

What's going on here?

Both of Chu's granddaughters had affairs with Qin Ran?

Even Sun Qing didn't know about this.

She was also surprised.

Looking at Qin Ran again, he remained expressionless: "You're right, I did sleep with you twice. The first time, I had just been released from the Kunlong Prison. I slept with you to cure your cold poison. Your family knows about this."

"The second time, you asked me for information about Qin Shaohuang, and you even said that if I told you Qin Shaohuang's whereabouts, you would let me sleep with you. After I slept with you, I would tell you that I was Qin Shaohuang, but you didn't believe me at all and even called me a liar. Is that my fault?"

"Besides, Chu Qingcheng and I were still friends at that time, so I wouldn't be considered to have cheated on her."

Chu Wan'er bit her lip, looking at Qin Ran with teary eyes.

What the other party said was not wrong.

That was indeed the case at the time.

At the same time, everyone looked at Chu Wan'er as if she were mentally challenged.

They already told you, who can you blame if you don't believe them?

If you believe that, then what role will Chu Qingcheng play?

Seeing this, Sun Qing turned her attention to Chu Qingcheng: "You bitch, you'll do anything to climb the social ladder. Do you know how many women Qin Ran has outside? He has two at home alone, and countless others outside."

"You don't really love him; you're just using him to climb the social ladder."

"What goes around comes around. You've used such despicable means to achieve your own ends; you will be punished by heaven..."

Chu Qingcheng remained expressionless as she looked at Sun Qing: "Stepmother, my feelings for Qin Ran are genuine, and he feels the same way about me. As for those women you mentioned, they are all his senior sisters."

"Hahahaha, do you even believe that yourself? Don't try to portray yourself as so noble, and don't make excuses for Qin Ran. To put it bluntly, it's a power-for-sex deal. Just wait, you'll definitely not have a good ending."

No sooner had the other person finished speaking than Chu Zhenlong suddenly slammed his hand on the table and stood up: "Sun Qing, get out of here! If you keep causing trouble like this, don't even think about ever setting foot in the Chu family again."

"You all, just you wait."

After Sun Qing finished speaking, she took Chu Wan'er and left.

Chu Wan'er looked completely lost, as if she had lost her soul.

Chu Zhenlong then adjourned the meeting.

As for when Chu Qingcheng will take office, he will announce it at a later date.

Subsequently, Chu Qingcheng was summoned to Chu Zhenlong's office alone.

Qin Ran waited in her office.

Sun Qing's words kept echoing in his ears.

He was also wondering whether Chu Qingcheng genuinely didn't care about his relationship with his senior sisters, or whether she was pretending not to care in order to climb the social ladder.

As for meditation, Qin Ran had a bit of a headache.

Unbeknownst to him, the pressure he felt was increasing.

On the other side!

Chu Jindong went to find Sun Qing and her daughter.

"You've come at the right time, Chu Jindong. Listen to me, I want a divorce, right now!" Sun Qing roared.

"Can you calm down?"

"I can't stay calm at all. You despicable and filthy man, colluding with outsiders to scheme against your own wife and daughter, you won't have a good end."

Chu Wan'er looked at Chu Jindong with tears in her eyes: "Dad, I'm so disappointed in you. I don't have a father like you. I want to cut all ties with you."

"Don't you understand? This was all arranged by the old man; I have no control over it at all," Chu Jindong said solemnly.

"Stop making excuses. Do you dare say you don't know Qin Ran's true identity?" Sun Qing questioned.

"I know, but the old man told me not to say it." Chu Jindong changed the subject: "You keep looking for problems in others, why don't you think about yourself? Don't think we don't know, you want to use Wan'er to control the Chu family. When you had this idea, you were destined to be rejected by the old man. You ruined Wan'er."

"You're talking nonsense! What's wrong with me wanting Wan'er to rise to power? Tell me, where is the mistake? Chu Qingcheng can do it, so why can't Wan'er?" Sun Qing questioned hoarsely.

"Wan'er, of course you can, but your motives are impure. You need to know that as long as the old man is still alive, no one can control the Chu family, including Qin Ran and Chu Qingcheng. Your ambition has already been exposed, and that's the key to the problem." Chu Jindong was also very agitated.

Sun Qing took a deep breath.

She simply did not accept Chu Jindong's explanation.

"I don't want to argue with you. Let's get a divorce. Wan'er will live with me from now on."

"Sun Qing, are you really going to make a scene like this?"

"You forced me to do this. We'll see each other in court." After saying that, Sun Qing looked at Chu Wan'er and said, "Wan'er, let's go."

The mother and daughter then left the Chu Group.

Chu Jindong was also helpless.

Now that things have come to this, he can only resign himself to fate...

Soon, Chu Qingcheng returned to her office.

Qin Ran asked, "What did you talk about with your grandfather?"

"It's nothing. He said a lot of encouraging things to me and told me not to let him down."

Qin Ran smiled and said, "Then you should do your best in the future. If there's nothing else, I'll be going now."

"Okay, I'll contact you after I finish my work."

"Um."

After Qin Ran finished speaking, he got up and left.

"Qin Ran..."

"What's wrong?" Qin Ran turned around.

"My feelings for you are genuine. There is no transaction between us. I will wait for you to come and marry me." Chu Qingcheng smiled faintly.

"Okay, I will."

Qin Ran left after she finished speaking.

He got into the car after arriving downstairs.

Now that things have come to this, he has finally helped Chu Qingcheng gain a firm foothold in the Chu family.

From now on, Chu Qingcheng will be the chairman of the Chu Group.

As for how their relationship developed in the future...

Qin Ran wasn't sure either.

There is still much to be done and many challenges to overcome in the future.

He wasn't sure if Chu Qingcheng could wait that long.

Qin Ran became increasingly agitated the more she thought about it.

He drove away from the Chu family...
