My Perfect Enemy is Finally Broke Novel - Chap 72
Chapter 72
Throughout the morning, Ji Ran accompanied Qin Man to do several more inspections, and it took a lot of time just to queue up. By the time we returned to the ward, it was already lunch time.
Qin Man’s left hand has recovered a lot. Simple eating, brushing teeth and… going to the toilet are no longer a problem.
The food in the hospital cafeteria was quite delicious. After eating, Ji Ran sat on the bedside and took out his e-cigarette.
Just as he was about to take a sip, Qin Man stopped and asked, “What is this.”
”E-cigarette.” Ji Ran looked at him and paused, “Don’t you want me to quit smoking… If you can’t quit at once, I’ll take my time.”
”It’s not good to smoke this either.” Qin Man said.
”Then what should I do? I’ve also tried smoking cessation candy, but it doesn’t work at all.”
Qin Man smiled: “In the future, when you want to smoke, just kiss me and it will be treated as if you have smoked.”
Ji Ran was shocked: “Who gave you the face to dare to compare yourself with cigarettes?”
”But when I kiss you, you look better than smoking.” Qin Man’s smile did not change.
The aunt in the bed next door passed by Ji Ran. She was so frightened that Ji Ran couldn’t hold her electronic cigarette steady and dropped it on the bed.
”If you keep talking nonsense, I won’t quit.” He hurriedly picked up the cigarette and put it back in his pocket.
”Are you back from the examination?” The aunt next door greeted Ji Ran with a smile, “Is there nothing wrong?”
After what he did in the ward last night, Ji Ran couldn’t face the other people in the ward.
He thought to himself, at least during the few days he was hospitalized, he would never do anything outrageous with Qin Man again.
Qin Man smiled and said, “It’s okay. I’ll be discharged from the hospital in two days.”
The aunt nodded: “You have to be careful when driving in the future. If you are young, everything will be over if your body is ruined!”
On the day Qin Man was discharged from the hospital, the dean came to personally give him discharge instructions.
Qin Man listened to everything, and when he glanced at it, he realized that the person next to him was serious. He also had a memo on his mobile phone in his hand, and he remembered it very carefully.
He chuckled, and the dean was confused: “Why are you laughing?”
”It’s okay.” Qin Man said, “Uncle, you are not busy at all these days.”
The dean laughed angrily: “I just came back from an operation. I have been working continuously for more than ten hours. I will go back to sleep after telling you these things… Did you listen to me? What are you doing all the time?” ”
Qin Man nodded slowly: “I heard it.”
The dean turned his attention to Ji Ran: “Young man, I haven’t thanked you yet for helping us take care of him these days… What’s your name?”
Just as Ji Ran was about to speak, someone hugged his shoulders. The distance between the two suddenly narrowed, and their arms were touching each other, very intimate.
”He is my junior.” Qin Man whispered.
Ji Ran thought that he might as well break his left hand.
He wanted to break away, but he was afraid that Qin Man’s hand would hurt before it recovered, so he had to stand stiffly.
”Junior? High school?” the dean asked.
”Well, one year younger than me.”
The dean nodded: “They are not in the same class, but the relationship is so good, which is quite rare.”
Qin Zheng laughed inexplicably: “Yes. My junior has admired me before and followed me every day, so I got to know him.”
The dean is not surprised at all. His nephew is so outstanding and is always the center of attention wherever he goes. It is not surprising that he has some small fans.
He remembered something and asked, “By the way, did you go to the school anniversary of the high school some time ago? I heard that a graduate came on stage and caused trouble and made the school stink. Now the Education Bureau is involved in the investigation.”
Ji Ran’s expression changed, but Qin Man was quite calm: “I heard about it, I was there at the time. I think what the graduate said was quite good.”
”I don’t know what you said.” The dean lowered his voice, “It’s just that this matter was quite big, and the principal even came to me and asked me to help clear things up. You know, your aunt works in the Education Bureau.”
”You’d better not get involved in these matters.” Qin Man said lightly, “There will definitely be some more troublesome things discovered later. It would be quite troublesome if Auntie got involved.”
”I know.” After the dean finished speaking, he looked at Ji Ran with a smile: “You have worked hard these days. When Xiaoman recovers, remember to ask him to return the favor to you.”
Ji Ran said expressionlessly: “Okay.”
The two got into the car together, and Ji Ran began to settle accounts with him.
”Why do you insist on fussing around in front of your uncle?” He asked, “What will you do if you find out?”
Qin Man said: “I said, they will know sooner or later.”
”But not now, how long have we been together…”
”What?” Qin Man interrupted him and said with a smile, “What did you just say about us? Say it again and let me hear it.”
”…”
Seeing Ji Ran’s silence, Qin Man stopped teasing him, reached over and took his hand: “Don’t you like others to know that we are together?”
Ji Ran paused, wondering why he sounded like a scumbag.
He patiently said, “What if we break up in two days, how will you explain it to your family, and…”
He shut his mouth and said no more.
And he has a bad reputation.
Illegitimate child, little bastard, he was scolded thousands of times online some time ago.
A family like Qin Man’s would never be satisfied with him no matter what.
Ji Ran only thought for a while before coming back to his senses, and couldn’t help laughing to himself.
They had just fallen in love, why was he thinking about Qin Man’s family? Whether they could take it to that point or not was the same thing.
”Why should I explain to them?” Qin Man had no intention of ending the topic.
”I like you and I’m with you. Even if you dump me later, it’s all my own business. I don’t need to explain it to anyone.”
”…”
How can this person be so eloquent?
Ji Ran’s ears turned red and he tsked as if to cover up: “You’re the only one who can say that… Also, why were you smiling at me just now?”
Qin Man thought about it for a moment, but couldn’t control the corner of his mouth.
”You just took down my uncle’s words,” he thought for a moment, “you were more serious than when you took notes in class in your senior year of high school.”
Ji Ran studied very hard when he was a senior in high school. If for no other reason than that, if he fails to get into college, Mrs. Ji will send him abroad.
At that time, he had little confidence and could only be manipulated by others, so during the entire senior year of high school, he studied almost desperately, almost vomiting from the textbooks. In the end, he did go to a good university. Because of this incident, Yue Wenwen always believed that he was a hidden academic master.
Just as Ji Ran was about to retaliate, he remembered something again: “How do you know what classes I took in my senior year of high school?”
Qin Man was one year older than him. When he was in his third year of high school, Qin Man graduated early.
Realizing that he had slipped up, Qin Man glanced at him funny: “Who do you think sold you those review notes?”
”The alumni from the previous class…” Ji Ran stopped mid-sentence and stared at him closely, “That’s yours.”
No wonder!
At that time, he felt that the handwriting looked very similar to Qin Man’s! He once thought that he had stolen Qin Man’s homework and had hallucinations!
Ji Ran was speechless, and after a long while he managed to squeeze out a sentence: “It’s so bad, I’ll pay you 280 for one subject.”
”It’s so cheap, you must be suspicious.” Qin Man paused, “Also, why is 280 per subject a notebook for a top three student so expensive?”
Ji Ran turned on the car music: “…Don’t talk, I want to concentrate on driving.”
When he got home, Ji Ran took a comfortable bath. He had suffered a lot in the small bathroom in the hospital these days, and he also washed clothes in the ward… He felt incredible when he thought about it now.
As soon as he came out of the bathroom, a call came from Cheng Peng, saying that there had been progress regarding the car accident and that he should go out for a face-to-face interview.
Qin Man was injured, so of course Ji Ran couldn’t take him out. He put all the takeaways on the dining table, said something to Qin Man and went out.
Cheng Peng made an appointment at a Qingqing bar.
The singer was singing a ballad on the stage. The two of them were sitting at the end of the bar. There was no one around, even the bartender was far away from them. It was quiet and leisurely.
Cheng Peng looked him up and down first, and after seeing the scar on his head that was no bigger than his thumb, he nodded and said, “It’s okay, it’s not too serious.”
Ji Ran swung his wine glass: “I wasn’t injured at all.”
”Listening to Wenwen’s tone before, I almost thought you were going to die.”
”Get lost.” Ji Ran took a sip of wine, “What’s the progress of the case?”
After the car accident, Ji Ran went to the police station, but he only made a note. The police asked him if he wanted to take a look at the perpetrator, but he refused.
He was afraid that if he couldn’t control it and took action, things would become more troublesome.
”All in.”
Ji Ran paused, thinking he heard wrongly: “What?”
”All those people have been recruited. The police should contact you within the next few days.” Cheng Peng tapped his fingertips on the table. “Gu Cheng has been recruited. The police have arrested him.”
Ji Ran frowned: “That piece of shit, is it so easy to recruit?”
”I came here today just to tell you about this.”
Cheng Peng took out a cigarette from his clothes and handed one to Ji Ran.
Ji Ran shook his head: “I’m quitting smoking.”
Cheng Peng was a little surprised, but he didn’t ask any more questions. He lit one for himself: “I went to the police station that day and asked someone to meet him. I originally wanted to give him something hard, but I didn’t expect…he I fell to my knees when I saw him.”
Ji Ran: “…”
”He was crying and yelling, saying that he had done anything and was willing to report Gu Cheng’s past crimes with his real name and asked me to let his parents, wife and children go. Those who didn’t know thought I had really done something to his family. Then The prison guard heard this and looked at me with strange eyes.” Cheng Peng found it funny, exhaled a puff of smoke and asked, “Did you do it?”
”How is that possible?” Ji Ran said, “I have been in the hospital during this period and have no time to take care of him…and it’s not like you don’t know that I don’t deal with women and children.”
Cheng Peng knew that, so he came to ask him: “Then who do you think he is?”
”I don’t know. Maybe the people he provoked in the past came to take revenge on him. He thought it was me who did it?” Ji Ran said uncertainly.
He could only think of this possibility.
Cheng Peng looked at him leisurely and said nothing for a while.
In fact, Cheng Peng had a guess in his mind, but it was not confirmed and he didn’t want to talk nonsense. He shook off the ashes and asked, “How is Qin Man?”
”Can’t die.”
”How long do you have left on your contract with him?”
”I was just about to tell you about this.” Ji Ran held the wine glass and said simply, “I’m with him.”
”…”
Cheng Peng held the cigarette and digested it in his mind for a while, “Is that what I think it means?”
”yes.”
Cheng Peng was only surprised for a few seconds before calming down. He lowered his head and laughed: “It’s faster than I expected.”
Ji Ran raised his eyebrows: “What do you mean? What did you expect?”
”You like him.” Cheng Peng stated, “I already knew it.”
”…”
”With your temperament, if you don’t care about people, how can you have the leisure to find trouble for others every day. I think you just want to find a sense of presence in front of Qin Man.”
Cheng Peng chuckled softly, “You still support him? Even a fool can see that there is something wrong with that contract, so he almost gave Qin Man the money in vain. Only Yue Wenwen can’t see through your thoughts.”
Ji Ran also laughed. He took a sip of wine and did not deny it.
”But.” Cheng Peng paused, “Have you figured it out?”
”What?”
”You know better than me who Qin Man is, right?” Cheng Peng said without mercy, “He looks cold and arrogant, but in fact he has more eyes than anyone else.”
”Don’t blame me for being harsh. Think about it, his family just went bankrupt. No matter how expensive the land is, just going through the process can kill people. If he wants to make a comeback, he will definitely be short of funds.” Cheng Peng glanced at him, ” And you, a playboy, don’t do your job properly, you are stupid and easy to cheat with money. You just got a large sum of money in your hand…”
”Go away, you are stupid and easy to deceive.” Ji Ran naturally thought about these things, but he looked indifferent and said, “Isn’t it just money? If he wants it, of course I can give it to him.”
As a person like him, once he figures it out, the chord in his heart becomes very straight.
It can’t be said that he regards money as garbage, but he is willing to spend money on the people he likes.
”You don’t understand what I mean.” Cheng Peng paused, “Then what if he doesn’t like you at all, just for your money, or something else… have you ever thought about it.”
Ji Ran sneered: “Qin Man should look down on my poor money.”
Cheng Peng was about to speak but stopped.
Many things were just conjectures in his mind. Without evidence, he couldn’t talk nonsense.
”Okay.” Ji Ran said, interrupting his thoughts.
His voice was light: “Isn’t it just a love affair? There aren’t so many twists and turns of conspiracy theories. I like him. No matter what his purpose is, I just want to try it with him.”
”Taking a step back, even if he really has other ideas, I’ll admit it.”
Ji Ran shrugged and smiled fearlessly, “At most, it’s just a failure. If I’m timid because of this and don’t fall in love with him, then I will definitely regret it.”
I didn’t expect Ji Ran to be so honest, but Cheng Peng was stunned. It took him a while to come back to his senses, nodded and said, “That’s right. It was me who talked too much.”
”No, you care about me, I know.” Ji Ran patted his shoulder and said, “I’m going to the toilet, and I’ll continue drinking when I get back.”
