Xu Lan took out her notebook from the locked closet and randomly clicked on an account on the blank main page.
She entered the password unhurriedly and immediately opened a web page. There was an unread email. She browsed through it and was about to reply when there was a knock on the door.
She clicked on the mouse and a game scene appeared on the page.
Xu Qiaoshan pushed the door open and entered. When he saw the game scene, his face sank.
“Lan’er, the college entrance examination is coming soon. Don’t think about playing all day.”
It was obvious from his tone that he was trying to control a disappointing child, but Xu Lan’s lowered eyes were filled with disdain.
“Do you need something from me?”
She leaned back in her chair with a relaxed expression and crossed her legs, looking like a bandit.
Xu Qiaoshan sighed silently.
“Yan’er, I’m going to send her to the technical school to learn some skills. You won’t be able to see her on the eve of the college entrance examination.”
“It’s best if we send her there, the sooner the better. In case she wanders around like an unemployed person next time.”
“Yes. I’ve already contacted the technical school. She’ll probably leave tomorrow.”
“If there’s nothing else, you can leave now. I’ll forgive her for the photo for now. If there’s a next time…”
“No, no, there won’t be.”
Before Xu Lan could finish, Xu Qiaoshan promised.
As she watched the door close, Xu Lan’s eyes shifted and she returned to the original screen.
At night, she returned to school.
During self-study, Qi Mingyue called her, saying that she was in a bad mood and wanted to go out to relax.
Xu Lan was originally doing her revision questions. After thinking for a moment, she threw it to her desk mate.
She was still wearing her school uniform. The gray plaid skirt made her legs look slender and long.
The moment they entered the bar, they attracted a lot of attention.
Qi Mingyue was wearing a pair of pants and a shirt. She looked like a professional, but Xu Lan was obviously a high school student. Coupled with her youthful aura, it made people think that she had been abducted by someone else.
The two of them had just sat down at the bar when Xu Lan suddenly said, “Why do I keep feeling your brother’s presence?”
Qi Mingyue was about to pick up the bartender’s drink when she casually replied, “Him? He went on a business trip.”
Just as she finished speaking, a hand landed on her shoulder.
She turned and jerked.
The man in front of her had a chiseled face and fair skin. His deep-set eyes were covered by a pair of gold-framed glasses on his high nose bridge. She could only vaguely feel his secretive gaze.
“Brother? Aren’t you…”
Just as Qi Mingyue was about to speak, her brother pushed her to the side. Then, he sat down on her seat.
“Xu… Lan, are you really a student?”
He was wearing a black suit and looked like a refined scum.
He sized Xu Lan up from head to toe before fixing his gaze on her exquisite face.
Xu Lan picked up the glass of wine beside her hand and took a sip. With a faint smile, she said, “Li City High School, Xu Lan.”
“Let’s be friends, I’m Qi Mingyu.”
He smirked and stretched out his fair fingers.
Xu Lan looked up and raised an eyebrow.
“I know.”
Qi Mingyu had a harmonious smile on his face, but Xu Lan did not seem too interested. Instead, she walked past him with a glass of wine in her hand and came to Qi Mingyue’s side, giving her a look.
The two of them headed straight for the booth, ignoring Qi Mingyu.
“Your brother is a hooligan?”
“What do you mean?”
As soon as she sat down, Xu Lan could not help but ask her.
Qi Mingyue glanced at the bar counter. Qi Mingyu was leaning there, his expression dark.
“I just smelled gunpowder on his hands. And there was some blood on the collar of his waistcoat.”
After Xu Lan spoke, Qi Mingyue stopped drinking.
The two of them looked at the bar counter again, but Qi Mingyu was no longer there.
The music in the bar was not loud. Occasionally, there were a few couples flirting with each other, and some of them were doing intimate actions together.
Qi Mingyue looked around and finally approached Xu Lan.
“On the surface, my brother is the head of the Qi clan, but he’s actually a member of Lone Wolf.”
Xu Lan’s hand that was caressing the wine glass froze. She turned to look at her in a daze.
