Zhou Suxin breathed a sigh of relief, and while Ruan Lan was not paying attention, she turned around and quietly threw Xu Ran's cell phone into the trash can next to her.

"Su Xin!"

The sudden shout startled Zhou Suxin, her face turned pale in an instant, and she subconsciously glanced at the trash can.

A gleam flashed in Ruan Lan's eyebrows and eyes, but she didn't say anything. Instead, she said softly, "Suxin, why do you look so ugly?"

"Maybe I'm a little uncomfortable." It was the director of the orphanage calling Zhou Suxin. Zhou Suxin coughed uncomfortably, and smiled at Ruan Lan to cover up her embarrassment: "Godmother, I'll go there first."

"Well, let's go." Ruan Lan kept the same expression as before, so that Zhou Suxin couldn't see any clues, and when Zhou Suxin was far away, she immediately turned and walked into the room.

Ruan Lan quickened her pace, and after entering the room, she closed the door in a serious manner. Zhou Suxin's bag was placed on a cabinet with hers.

Looking around, Ruan Lan opened Zhou Suxin's bag and found her mobile phone.

Password to unlock.

Recalling Zhou Suxin's usual unlocking actions in detail, Ruan Lan vaguely saw the password a few times, tried it casually according to her vague memory, and unexpectedly unlocked it all at once.

Ruan Lan didn't have time to be happy, and eagerly flipped through the address book.

The moment I opened the address book, I saw Murong Yan's name at the top, and the time matched. It was Murong Yan who called Zhou Suxin just now.

As her fingertips kept flipping down, Ruan Lan's heart also became cold.

There are many names of Murong Yan in the call log, and the two of them have been in close contact, even as early as when Murong Feng was in a coma. Zhou Suxin took care of all her wealth, she never thought about the possibility that Zhou Suxin would hook up with Murong Yan behind her back.

They have been in contact for so long, and Ruan Lan knows nothing about it. If she hadn't heard Zhou Suxin call by chance today, she would still be kept in the dark.

Ruan Lan, who was ashen-faced, put the phone back, tidied it up to make sure there was nothing unusual, and then leaned against the wall in a daze.

"Zhou Suxin..."

Ruan Lan's hands trembled a little, she regarded her as her own goddaughter, what kind of connection and dealings did she have with Murong Yan behind the scenes, and what was she planning on her?

Since Murong Yan had already picked up on Zhou Suxin, why didn't he attack her when Murong Feng was in a coma?
It can even be said to be calm.

According to what she knew about Murong Yan, he would never let her go so easily.

So, is he still plotting some deeper conspiracy?
Ruan Lan suddenly stood up straight, her palms sweating: her relationship with Xu Ran!

Zhou Suxin's question just now suddenly became suspicious. Asking whether she and Xu Ran knew each other seemed to have ulterior motives, and the content of the call with Murong Yan seemed to be planning something.

Ruan Lan began to carefully recall what suspicious things about Zhou Suxin, she was startled suddenly, could it be related to her?

After she divorced Xu Hua, she went far away. Although she didn't change her name, she hid the past until she planned to meet Murong Feng. The old love revived and she made up a life story of a poor independent woman in an orphanage. She was completely ruined by her, even Murong Feng didn't find out the clues.

If Murong Yan wanted to look for any clues, he could only start with the people closest to her. No matter how well she hid herself, she would reveal some clues occasionally.

Ruan Lan stood at the door, the sun cast golden rays on her body, but she couldn't feel the warmth at all. Looking at Zhou Suxin's little face mingling with the children from a distance, she could only feel the gradual warming from the soles of her feet upwards. The spreading cold.

Back when she returned to the orphanage, the first time she saw Zhou Suxin who was serious about holding a dilapidated math book, she looked very much like a young Xu Ran. At that moment, she decided to treat this child as her own daughter. Transferred all the guilt towards Xu Ran to Zhou Suxin, but she didn't expect that the tiger would cause trouble.

The dean left everyone to eat fruit together. Ruan Lan stayed in the corner without saying a word, not entertaining the children as enthusiastically as usual, but Zhou Suxin was as enthusiastic as ever, helping distribute the fruits and getting along with the children.

After eating some fruit, Zhou Suxin received a call from Qiao's family, so she had to say goodbye with regret: "Godmother, my father wants me to go back and discuss about going back to Province S."

Ruan Lan still knew about the fact that she wanted to recognize her ancestors and return to Qiao's house: "You go, I haven't been back for a long time, look at the children."

Zhou Suxin didn't notice anything was wrong, went to get her bag and hugged Ruan Lan before leaving.

After watching Zhou Suxin leave with a smile, Ruan Lan's expression changed, and she sat next to the dean calmly.

"Dean, does Suxin often come to the orphanage recently?" Ruan Lan asked, the question seemed ordinary, and the dean answered truthfully without any hesitation.

"After the child Zhou Suxin recognized her biological father, she still missed the orphanage and came back often. She is a good child."

In the past, Ruan Lan would still feel relieved to hear these compliments, but now she is more suspicious: "Then... she has recognized her father now, and she has to go to work every day, and she is also very busy, how can she still have time to grow old? Running here? You don’t need to be so diligent to buy something, this kid..."

Her tone was full of relief, and the dean pushed the reading glasses on the bridge of her nose, her expression seemed to be recalling things from a long time ago, "She is caring, but she doesn't bring gifts every time, sometimes she just Come play, chat with me..."

Ruan Lan waited patiently, like gossip.

"Hiss... one more time, that child is quite strange." The dean put down the orange in his hand, and Ruan Lan cheered up and waited for her answer.

"I came to the orphanage early in the morning. I said I wanted to come and see, but the children were still asleep and there was nothing to see. She was interested. She asked me a lot about your past and left."

The orange in Ruan Lan's hand fell to the ground with a thud, and it was certain that Zhou Suxin was sent by Murong Yan to inquire about her past.

"What's wrong?" the dean asked with concern.

Ruan Lan lowered her head to deal with the oranges that fell on the ground, making her expression unclear, but her voice was a little cold: "It's okay, I just think this girl is acting strange recently."

After asking some more specific details, Ruan Lan's heart hurt like a knife.

According to the time given by the dean, if it is correct, Zhou Suxin's abnormal return happened not long after Xu Ran and Ruan Lan met in the hospital, and not long before their mother and daughter made an appointment to meet in the cafe.

It was Murong Yan who saw her and Xu Ran together in the hospital and had some speculations. Ruan Lan speculated that Murong Yan asked Zhou Suxin to inquire about her previous affairs.

Including that meeting in the cafe, Ruan Lan now suspects that the two of them were behind the scenes. That meeting was too sudden, and she was too emotional at the time to take care of it. In retrospect, there are doubts everywhere.

It seems that Zhou Suxin and Murong Yan have colluded together for a long time.
