The Evil Man’s Lazy Lady Chapter 16 (Part 1)

Chapter 16: Spring Dream has Marks (1) Original translation is from tenderflower's blog.

When Qin-shi and everyone followed Wei Da into the living room, their eyes fell on the small figure sleeping soundly with her head resting on the table.

Shu Maoting was still able to control himself, but Qin-shi ran up crying, holding Shu Lan and looking at her all over, wanting to know if her daughter was injured.

Shu Lan really didn’t want to sleep, but she climbed up and down today, her mood was also ups and downs. Just sitting on the chair, she couldn’t help falling asleep. In the hazy, a familiar voice rang in her ears. She rubbed her eyes, opened her mouth when she saw the person in front of her, and finally called out “mother” with tears.

Her soft and tender voice rang into her ears, Qin-shi was both distressed and hated, crying and scolding: “You dead girl, you are born to torture me. I can’t hit you and scold you. If you’re a little unhappy, you run away from home. You don’t have your mother or father in your heart at all. We love you in vain! You dead girl...”

SHe was scolding, but she held the person firmly in her arms as if she was afraid her daughter would be snatched away by someone.

When Shu Lan heard it, she forgot to cry for a moment. Her mother’s embrace was very warm, but why did she scold her? She wanted to stretch her body to look at her mother’s face, but she was held so tight that she couldn’t move. Just as Shu Wan came over, Shu Lan saw her older sister who she hadn’t seen all day, and she couldn’t help pouring her grievances out, “Sister, mother doesn’t want me anymore, she said I was a wild child she picked up...”

“Silly girl, mother was talking in anger. Of course, you were born by my mother with hard work. The day mother gave birth to you, our father, Ah Zhan, and your sister were guarding under the eaves. If you don’t believe me, ask my father!” Shu Wan suppressed her tears and touched her younger sister’s head with red eyes.

Shu Lan was overjoyed and turned her head to look for Shu Maoting. Then she saw the handsome and gentle father standing beside the frowning grandfather. The “father” that was about to blurt out suddenly got stuck in her throat. In her impression, her grandfather never smiled.

Seeing his granddaughter looking at him pitifully with tears in her eyes, Qin Ruhai pulled out an unnatural smile.

No one knew what he liked most was this granddaughter, otherwise, he would be able to force Shu Lan to change her laziness because of the days she stayed in Qin’s house. However, it was absolutely impossible for him to express anything in public.

Qin Ruhai coughed and walked towards Cheng Qingran, who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea, but he was a little confused. Cheng Qingran could be regarded as a well-known rich family in the town. They, the locals, couldn’t figure out his background. They only know that he was maverick and arrogant, but even the mayor respected him three points. Qin Ruhai had never dealt with Cheng Qingran. He heard rumors that he was a cold-hearted person. There was once a girl who sold her body to bury her father kneeling in front of his carriage, kowtowing to the ground and shedding blood but he didn’t even give up half a copper coin...

Cheng Qingran was looking in the direction of Qin-shi’s two daughters and mother. There was astonishment and confusion in his gaze so that he didn’t even notice Qin Ruhai approaching.

“Master Cheng, many thanks for taking care of Qin-mou’s granddaughter. Qin-mou will keep this kindness in his heart. If there is anything Qin-mou can help in the future, please feel free to open your mouth.” Qin Ruhai bowed to Cheng Qingran, but there was no response for a long time. He couldn’t help but look up and saw Cheng Qingran staring blankly at one place.

(T/N: (某) mǒu means: (humble, by itself) I · Used in place of a person's given name, for anonymity purposes.)

Qin Ruhai followed Cheng Qingran’s gaze and just happened to see the gentle smile of his eldest granddaughter. The dim light shone on her like a character walking out of a dream. His heart suddenly jumped. Qin Ruhai’s impression of Cheng Qingran went down sharply. Good, you look like an upright gentleman, but you are actually a pervert!

Standing up, Qin Ruhai stood in front of Cheng Qingran and raised his voice, “Master Cheng, many thanks for taking care of Qin-mou’s granddaughter...”

Cheng Qingran came back to his senses and got up to return the courtesy: “Master Qin is courteous. What the junior did was just a slight effort.” He was a little annoyed for a moment. Wasn’t that girl seven points similar to the little girl? Why was he stunned?

Qin Ruhai’s expression darkened slightly. After saying a few polite words, he called his daughter and son-in-law over to thank him.

Shu Maoting and his wife were sincerely grateful to Cheng Qingran. They almost praised him as the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva. Shu Wan pulled Shu Lan to stand silently beside her and looked up at Cheng Qingran. After being slightly stunned, she quickly lowered her head, so she missed the flash of surprise in Cheng Qingran’s eyes.

“Okay, it’s getting late, we won’t disturb your rest. Tomorrow Qin-mou will set up a banquet in Wanghe Tower, so please ask Master Cheng to show his face.” Qin Ruhai’s expression was calm and authentic. Although he didn’t like it in his heart, the courtesy he should do could not be abandoned.

Cheng Qingran smiled slightly. He took a step forward, patted Shu Lan’s head, and said softly, “Master Qin is courteous. Meeting the little girl Shu Lan is considered fate. Tomorrow, the junior still has to go out for a trip, so you need not spend time.”

Shu Lan looked at Cheng Qingran with some reluctance, “Big brother, can I come to play with you in the future?”

Not waiting for Cheng Qingran to speak, Xiao Lang, who had been silent, suddenly said, “They are busy people, how can they have time to take care of you?”

“I don’t need you to care!” Shu Lan glared angrily, and just as she was about to continue asking, she saw her older sister shaking her head at her. After thinking about it, Shu Lan lowered her head obediently.
