Chapter 69 - Continue Your Performance, Joker

Qin Shu quietly pulled her hand out of Qin Ya's grasp. Hearing Qin Ya saying 'mom' left and right made it sound as if Qin Ya's mother was Qin Shu's mother.

Qin Ya's hands were empty after Qin Shu drew her hand away. However, she could not be bothered to think too much about it. She just hoped that Qin Shu would meet her mother soon so that she could get the scar removal ointment.

Qin Shu followed Qin Ya all the way to the small pavilion by the school lake.

Mu Lan was sitting there in a light purple dress. Her long hair was tied up, making her look very gentle.

She was 40 years old but only looked like she was 30 because she had taken good care of herself.

She was also beautiful, which was why Qin Hai held back and did not cheat on her.

After Qin Shu's mother had passed away, Qin Hai couldn't wait to bring Mu Lan and her daughter back from outside.

If it wasn't for Qin Ya's words before she had died, Qin Shu would have thought that Qin Ya was her stepsister.

Mu Lan saw Qin Shu and immediately stood up. She warmly welcomed her, "Shu, let mommy take a look at you."

She sized up Qin Shu and said with a look of heartache "Shu, you've lost weight."

Qin Shu watched on as Mu Lan behaved pretentiously. It was as if she were watching a clown, and Qin Shu quietly watched her performance.

"You have a lot to study in your senior year. Quickly sit down, standing is too tiring."

Mu Lan said some things to express her care and concern for Qin Shu and wanted to pull Qin Shu to sit down in the pavilion.

Qin Shu quietly avoided her hands and said plainly, "Auntie Mu, you also know that seniors are very busy, so I shan't sit. I'm going back to class soon and there's still a lot of homework waiting for me to do."

Mu Lan did not manage to touch Qin Shu. When she heard Qin Shu call her name, she was stunned and looked at Qin Shu in confusion. "You used to call me mom, why did you change after you left home? "

"I don't think it's appropriate to call you mom now. It's better to call you Auntie Mu. If Auntie Mu has nothing else to say, I'll go back to the classroom first."

Qin Shu's voice was indifferent. No one could figure out what she was thinking at this moment.

"Elder Sister, it's rare for Mom to come to visit you. Aren't you going to talk to Mom for a while?" Qin Ya was also very confused. Qin Shu had suddenly changed the way she addressed Mu Lan.

She thought to herself, Qin Shu was a lousy student who had repeated her senior year twice. Did she still have a lot of studying to do?

Even if she repeated her senior year two more times, she would still not be able to get into college.

"Shu, I know that you have a lot of studying to do." Mu Lan did not care about how she was addressed anymore. She continued, "The scar on Ya's face has been there for many days. I heard that you have a scar removal ointment. You have been a kind and considerate child since you were young. You definitely wouldn't want Ya to have a scar on her face. Give Ya a bottle since you still have another one."

Qin Shu sneered in her heart. A kind and considerate child?

Mu Lan was trying to say that she was stupid!

"Since Auntie Mu has heard from my sister, she should know that if you want the scar removal ointment, you can exchange it with Linhai Villa. Oh right, Linhai Villa originally belonged to my mother. This can be considered as returning the villa to its owner. This bottle of scar removal ointment can also be considered as a gift from me to my younger sister. It's not a loss, right?"

Mu Lan looked at Qin Shu in front of her. How long had it been since they last met? This girl had become so sharp-tongued?

She continued, "Shu, we're all family. Linhai Villa will be yours sooner or later. If I give it to you now, you won't be able to help it if someone takes it away from you. We're family and I won't harm you."

"Elder Sister, Mom has doted on you since you were young. She definitely won't harm you." Qin Ya chimed in support.

"I'm an adult now. I have the ability to distinguish right from wrong." Qin Shu looked at the time on her watch. She could not be bothered to talk nonsense with them.

She looked up at Mu Lan. "There's not enough time. I'll go back to the classroom to review my homework. I'll talk to you again when I'm free."

Mu Lan saw that Qin Shu was about to leave, so she hurriedly stopped her. "Do you know how your mother passed away? "
