Qian Lan did not go home for an entire night. Originally, she planned to go to class first before returning home to explain herself. But, when she reached the school, she found the principal waiting for her.
The principal was sitting at Qian Lan’s work desk, and as soon as she arrived, he said to her, “Qian Lan, pack your things and go home.”
“Huh?” Qian Lan furrowed her brows, unsure of what had happened.
“Ah, listen, I had no idea that you were the second daughter of the mayor. I’m sorry if I offended you in the past!”
After hearing this, Qian Lan finally understood what was happening.
It seemed, the Qian Family had dropped by and said something.
“Principal…actually…”
“Go ahead, don’t make things difficult for us,” the principal waved his hand, gesturing for Qian Lan not to resist. The Qian Family had already explained everything, so it wasn’t likely that she’d be able to stay at the school for much longer.
Qian Lan was upset, but she couldn’t apply any more pressure on the principal. So, she packed her things and left the school.
She simply didn’t go home for one night and her family already reacted in such an extreme way. What was to happen if she insisted on being with Mo Zichen?
Filled with frustration, Qian Lan carried her belongings back home. However, she returned to find her mother sitting on the sofa watching television.
“You’re back.”
“Mom, what happened at school?” Qian Lan questioned her mother.
“You didn’t come home for an entire night. Were you with the physics teacher?” Mother Qian asked as she turned to look at her daughter. “Since you haven’t learned your lesson, I had to put an end to things for you.”
After hearing this, Qian Lan almost lost her mind.
“Then, why don’t I just stop being your daughter?” Qian Lan threw her belongings on the floor. “Just pretend you never gave birth to me. I don’t want to return to this family ever again.”
“Watch what you’re saying!”
“Mom, let me warn you one last time, if you don’t respect my life, I don’t know what I’m capable of doing!” Qian Lan said before she turned around and ran out of the house.
Mother Qian took a deep breath. She simply felt that her daughter was being too reckless. Parents simply wanted what was best for their children, why couldn’t she understand them?
After running out, Qian Lan didn’t know where to go. So, she ended up wandering the streets all on her own.
…
Meanwhile, back at school, Mo Zichen quickly heard about what happened to Qian Lan, so he immediately gave her a phone call. But, Qian Lan’s phone was out of battery from the night before and she hadn’t charged it yet.
So, as soon as his class ended, Mo Zichen immediately drove out of school. He had a feeling that she’d be at a particular place.
…
At the same time, Xu Chunhao was running around looking for Qian Lan. He was upstairs when Qian Lan was arguing with Mother Qian and he heard Qian Lan run out. So, as soon as Mother Qian returned to her room, he immediately left to look for his sister-in-law.
Luckily, Qian Lan hadn’t gotten too far.
“Qian Lan…get in the car,” Xu Chunhao drove his car over to Qian Lan and blocked her path. “Let me take you home.”
Qian Lan looked at Xu Chunhao and shook her head, “You shouldn’t get involved with my matters.”
“I just don’t want to see you arguing with your family.”
“I’m sorry, but that’s none of your business.”
After speaking, Qian Lan continued walking. At this time, Mo Zichen’s car also stopped nearby. As soon as he saw Qian Lan, he honked his horn at her.
Qian Lan looked over carefully. When she noticed it was Mo Zichen, she immediately crossed the road and hopped into the passenger seat.
“Let’s go.”
Xu Chunhao watched as Qian Lan left with Mo Zichen, but there was nothing he could do.
At the same time, Mo Zichen also spotted Xu Chunhao.
“What happened?” Mo Zichen asked on the way back to his apartment. “Were you dismissed from school?”
“My mother did it. She didn’t want to see us together,” Qian Lan explained straightforwardly. “But, I don’t want that family anyway. Zichen, can you take me away from here?”
“But, you are bound by blood, nothing can break that bond! Let me take you home…”
“I don’t want to go back!”
“I’m not capable of kidnapping someone’s daughter,” Mo Zichen said. “Trust me, I have a way of convincing your parents.”
“How?” Qian Lan was at breaking point. “My parents insist that I find someone on the same level as us. I don’t want my parents to insult you…”
“Who said we aren’t on the same level?” Mo Zichen laughed as he sped up his car.
“But, I don’t want to see my mother.”
“Then, let’s go see your father,” Mo Zichen replied. “Give me his address. Forget it…I can find it myself.”
“Are you being serious?”
Could he be any more serious? Mo Zichen laughed, “Do you think that I’d allow the woman I like to have a falling out with her family because of me? I am a person who prioritizes family. I won’t let your relationship with your family turn sour.”
“But…”
Mo Zichen did not say another word as he drove Qian Lan straight over to the City Council Office. He then told the receptionist that he wanted to see Father Qian.
Fortunately, it was almost lunchtime, so Father Qian had just finished with some work and ran into the young couple near the entrance.
“Let’s go…” the trio headed over to a nearby teahouse and sat down. During this entire time, Qian Lan had her head down.
“Do you still know where your home is?” Father Qian growled.
“Hello, Uncle, my name is Mo Zichen.”
“I’ve heard about you, but I never expected you to be so brave as to come looking for me with my daughter,” Father Qian said as he adjusted his suit. “You’ve practically stolen my daughter from me.”
“I’m sorry, Uncle, I know you’re worried about your daughter, that’s why you’re concerned about the friends that she makes. I understand how you feel.”
“Since you understand me, then why…”
“Dad, don’t be too harsh with your words!” Qian Lan quickly protected Mo Zichen.
But, Mo Zichen did not get angry. Instead, he smiled and said, “I’m sorry if I have offended you, Uncle. I will invite you to a dinner with my father at a later date to give you a proper apology for suddenly showing up today.”
“Hmmph.”
“If Uncle may give me the honor, I would like to invite Qian Lan to a dinner at Hyatt Regency tonight.”
As Father Qian listened to the young man speak, he was initially angry that the rascal was being so brave. How dare he make such a request, at a time like this? But, when he heard the words ‘Hyatt Regency’, he quickly furrowed his brows in confusion.
After all, who didn’t know that every single house in that estate was worth billions.
“Hyatt Regency?”
“I’m sorry, Uncle. I forgot to mention that Mo Ting is my father and Tangning is my mother,” Mo Zichen spoke like a gentleman the entire time.
Who in Beijing hadn’t heard of these two names?
Father Qian couldn’t believe that Mo Zichen was their child.
Even Qian Lan was shocked!
“You…”
“I’ll explain this to you later,” Mo Zichen whispered in Qian Lan’s ear.
