CHAPTER 612: CHAPTER 625: RUMMAGE THROUGH BAGS

Grandmother? Isn’t that Xu Changqing’s grandmother?

The Xu Family Company went bankrupt, the entire Xu Family went to prison, Xu Changqing’s grandmother passed away, and the Xu Family is completely done for.

Xiao Xiao didn’t know the relationship between the Guo Family and the Xu Family, and An Ran didn’t plan to explain it to her in detail.

The two of them chatted as they entered the cafeteria.

It was mealtime, and there were quite a few people in the cafeteria. The two grabbed their meals and found an empty spot to sit and eat.

"After eating at the Guard Team, I still find our cafeteria’s food tastier," An Ran said, picking up a piece of beef and chewing it thoroughly.

"The way you say it, it sounds like Instructor Mu is mistreating you." Xiao Xiao said, giving her two more pieces of beef from her own bowl.

"It’s not that Instructor Mu is mistreating me, I’m just complaining about the Guard Team’s meals. You don’t know, the meals there are strictly controlled in terms of oil; every meal is tailored to the nutritional needs of the guards. It’s not like our cafeteria, where as long as you have money, you can eat whatever you want, and every dish is delicious."

Thinking about this, An Ran became even more resolved. In the future, if she becomes a follower, she must personally cook for Mu Xingfeng. However, she still needs to study recipes well, striving to make every meal both nutritious and delicious.

After eating, the two returned to their dormitory. As soon as they reached the dorm building, they saw a crowd gathered outside their dorm room, and there were loud noises coming from inside.

The two exchanged a glance and quickened their pace.

"Just because you say you didn’t take it doesn’t mean you didn’t. Who can prove it? There are only a few of us in this dorm. Could a thief have come in?"

"Ren Shuang, what did you eat tonight to make your mouth so foul? Stop acting all high and mighty. Not everyone would care for your stuff."

An Ran recognized the voice; it was Wang Xiaoyi speaking. The previous voice was unfamiliar, probably the new roommate.

Xiao Xiao’s face also darkened, and with a bit of anger, she said, "This Ren Shuang, can’t she go a day without causing trouble?"

"Ha! Not care? Saying it doesn’t make it so. Don’t think I don’t know you people. You pretend not to care, but deep down you’re envious. After all, not everyone can afford these things."

Ren Shuang scoffed disdainfully, "Everyone in this dorm is a suspect. Since none of you think it could be an outsider, it must be an inside job. If no one is guilty, then open your bags and let me check. This spot belongs to An Ran, right? This bag wasn’t here when we went out. Since she came back while we were out, she’s the most suspicious. Let’s start with her bag."

"Ren Shuang, don’t go too far. You want to rummage through someone’s bag just because An Ran isn’t here? Do you know that’s invading someone’s privacy?" Wang Xiaoyi said, shielding An Ran’s bed.

"Privacy? We’re all girls here. What privacy? And with so many people watching, I clearly won’t take her stuff. I just want to find my things."

Ren Shuang said, pulling at Wang Xiaoyi with one hand and reaching for An Ran’s backpack with the other.

"Hold on," a cool and commanding voice came from the doorway. It wasn’t loud but carried immense authority.

The girls gathered around the dorm door quickly made way when they saw the two people standing behind them.

"An Ran is back. Now this will be interesting."

"That Ren Shuang has gone too far, rummaging through someone’s bag when they’re not around. Now she’s caught red-handed. Let’s see how she explains herself."
