Chapter 146 Their Relationship
She took a step closer to Qin Ran.
The sudden closeness made Qin Ran instinctively hold her breath.
He didn't know where to look, he could only look around.
"Miss Yun, is there something on my face?"
Yunzhi pursed her lips and remained silent.
The impact of this photo on Yunzhi was akin to Mars colliding with Earth.
"Qin Ran, is that little boy in the photo you?"
When Yunzhi asked the question, she pointed to the little boy in the photo, who was completely different from the confident and composed man in front of her.
Although it was a question, she spoke almost as if it were a statement.
She couldn't mistake those eyes.
"Yes, I had only been at the orphanage for a short time then, so I looked quite ugly. I didn't expect Miss Yun to recognize me."
Qin Ran gave a bitter smile, her expression turning somber as she looked at the photograph.
This is almost a dark chapter in his history that he'd rather not talk about.
Although Yunzhi had already confirmed that the little boy was Qin Ran, her heart still sank when she heard him admit it himself.
Is it really Qin Ran?
So Qin Ran already knew Yu Baisu?
What is your relationship with the little girl next to you?
Yunzhi looked up and stared straight at Qin Ran.
The doubt that she had suppressed welled up in her heart once again.
Qin Ran said calmly, "She is the daughter of my sponsor. She used to come to the orphanage often with her father, but she hasn't come for a long time."
"Your benefactor's surname is Yu?"
"How did Miss Yun know? Does Miss Yun know her?"
Qin Ran looked at Yun Zhi with some surprise.
All the assumptions were confirmed at this moment.
Yu Baisu's father turned out to be Qin Ran's benefactor.
The words the dean had once said came to mind.
Qin Ran knows how to be grateful, and whenever he has the opportunity, he tries his best to repay those who have helped him.
If Yu Baisu were to ask Qin Ran to harm her child, would Qin Ran do it?
Yunzhi's mind was in a mess.
Two voices were tugging at her soul in her mind.
One voice said that Qin Ran is a surgeon and it's impossible for her to perform gynecological surgery.
One voice said that Qin Ran had the motive, and that he was the murderer.
Two voices almost tore her in two.
"Miss Yun, Miss Yun?"
Seeing Yunzhi's pained expression, Qin Ran wondered what had happened to her and quickly reached out to check her temperature.
Yunzhi almost reflexively took two steps back to create distance between herself and Qin Ran.
Qin Ran's expression changed, but she quickly returned to normal.
"Miss Yun, what's wrong?"
"It's nothing, I just felt a little dizzy." Yunzhi pressed her forehead with one hand. "I have met this Miss Yu before, but only a few times. I didn't expect she was so willing to do good deeds. I wonder if you two have been in contact in the past two years?"
Yunzhi asked tentatively.
She wanted to catch the murderer who, along with Yu Baisu, killed Tongtong.
In her previous life, she was initially too preoccupied with wanting to escape this world, and the torment of illness and the trauma of Tongtong's death to bother investigating the murderer who killed Tongtong.
As a result, with her and Cheng Shuyan's rebirth in this life, all the memories and information about her previous body in this world are gone. Even if she wanted to investigate now, she couldn't find anything.
How ironic, she had just thought Qin Ran was someone she could get to know well.
The next second, Qin Ran became the murderer who might have killed her child along with Yu Baisu.
This world is a complete joke.
Yunzhi wanted to laugh but couldn't.
Qin Ran frowned, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he didn't answer Yun Zhi's question for a long time.
His seemingly troubled expression made Yunzhi's heart sink.
On the surface, she said nonchalantly, "It's okay, you don't have to say it if you don't want to. It's not a big deal, I was just asking casually."
Qin Ran didn't feel relieved at all when she heard her say that.
He had the illusion that if he didn't say anything today, he might lose something important.
A minute later, Qin Ran seemed to have made a decision.
“I met her four years ago. Four years ago she asked me to do something. As for what it was, I promised her I would keep it a secret, so I can’t tell you.”
four years ago?
The time doesn't match up.
So it's not Qin Ran?
Whether it was true or not, this incident left a knot in Yunzhi's heart.
She could no longer face Qin Ran as if nothing had happened.
Thinking about it carefully, Qin Ran's appearance in her previous life was also quite clever.
The more Yunzhi pondered the matter, the heavier her heart became.
"Haven't you seen her in the past few years?"
Qin Ran thought about it carefully and then shook her head.
"no, what happened?"
"It's nothing, I was just asking casually. Let's go look at something else." Yunzhi's mind was in a mess. She wasn't in the mood to look at anything else, but she was afraid that Qin Ran would notice something if she left now.
Just as the two were about to leave, Qin Ran's phone suddenly rang.
He answered the phone, and after Qin Ran hung up, he looked at Yun Zhi apologetically.
"Excuse me, Miss Yun, please stay here for a while. I have something to attend to, so please excuse me for a moment."
Yunzhi was unsure how to get along with Qin Ran.
Hearing him say that, I was more than happy to accept it.
She nodded, even somewhat impatiently urging Qin Ran to get to work.
After Qin Ran left, Yun Zhi took out her phone and took a picture of the photo. Then she carefully walked around to make sure there were no other photos related to Yu Baisu before deciding to go for a walk and get some fresh air.
Yunzhi wandered aimlessly around the welfare home.
Before I knew it, I had walked to the back of that little red building.
As she was lost in thought about the complicated relationship between Qin Ran and Yu Baisu, she suddenly felt something hit her head.
Yunzhi gasped, covering her head with one hand. Looking up, she saw a red figure and quickly shrank back.
She frowned, looked down, and noticed something on the grass glistening in the sunlight.
Yunzhi walked over, half-squatted down to pick up the item, and discovered that it was actually a piece of candy.
It's just that this candy has been treasured by its original owner for who knows how long, and even though it has melted, the owner still couldn't bear to eat it.
Yunzhi, who had been hit by an unknown object, felt a little uncomfortable, but when she saw the candy, that discomfort turned into heartache.
She looked up and met a pair of dark, bright eyes.
He was a handsome little boy, but his face was frighteningly pale, perhaps because he hadn't seen the sun in a long time.
He saw Yunzhi looking over and was startled, so he quickly shrank back.
"Hello, would you like to be friends with me?" Yunzhi knew he meant no harm, so she spoke gently.
Yunzhi waited patiently for a while, and just when she thought he wouldn't show up again, the little boy cautiously peeked out from under the windowsill.
