Pei Ming didn't go into the pit and escaped. Relying on others is never as good as relying on oneself, so mother arranged for your transfer.
"Okay." Kong Lian obediently nodded her head and secretly hated it.
That useless Xu Ying, she had wasted so much time on her, giving her ideas openly and in private, but in the end she hadn't hurt a single hair on Ren Ran and instead lost the chess piece Pei Ming.
"Put your studies aside for now. When you get to No. 1 Middle School, your only task is to isolate her and make everyone detest her. Only when the Ren family falls can dad be with us and we can enter high society, only then can you be the little princess of Yaxing Group." Ruan Fengru lovingly stroked her daughter's head.
Since she was little she had known her father was snatched away, only by defeating the mother and daughter could dad return to their side and protect them.
"Mom, I understand." Kong Lian hugged her mother.
She felt sorry for her mother.
Her mother was clearly her father's most beloved, they had fallen in love first, yet because of that woman's power and influence, she had forcibly stolen his love, causing their family of three to be unable to reunite.
Even without the issue of destiny, she would still fiercely trample Ren Ran underneath her feet.
Not for anything else, just for her parents, for her incomplete childhood, Ren Ran and her mother deserved to atone for this.
Qingya Courtyard
After taking a sip of water, Qingxuan finally spoke, "It was her, no mistake. She has a similar scent to you on her body. How to put it, it's the scent of having one's destiny threads bound together. For this result, Ren Ran was not surprised at all.
"If we want to switch destinies, we still have to think of a way to get each other's birth date and time from their mouths. Only with the birth date and time can we proceed to the next step." Thinking of the other side's wariness, Qingxuan continued, "They are very wary and won't fall for it at all."
"From my observations today, the mother and daughter will absolutely not easily reveal their birth date and time."
Something as private as one's birth date and time, besides family, no one else knows.
The birth date and time must be accurate, even being off by a minute before or after results in vastly different destinies.
"I've already had other people obtain her birth date and time. Daoist, have you contacted your master?"
The last sentence was the key.
Qingxuan was half-baked, unable to break through such a rare means as switching destinies, only his master could resolve it by taking action.
At the mention of this, Qingxuan looked very embarrassed, "That, that...my master's phone is off, I guess the phone hasn't been turned on since he went out. When he misses me someday, he'll definitely call me."
What if he never misses you?
Ren Ran really wanted to say, but after thinking about it decided not to hit Qingxuan's master.
"Do you have a photo of your master?"
If it came down to it, she could only spend a lot of money to find someone. Although the time period would still be long, it was better than doing nothing.
"I do."
Ren Ran received the photo. The old man in the photo had a long beard, wore tattered daoist robes, and had wise eyes. Without flashy clothes, he had an air of transcendence.
"Does the elder have any direction he likes to wander? Or has he mentioned to you any places he'll roughly go?"
"Wandering is following one's nature, with no fixed destination."
(╯°Д°)╯(/(.□ . \) This means no target.
"I remember now."
Ren Ran's eyes lit up as she looked at him expectantly.
Qingxuan happily said, "Master likes going deep into the mountains and old forests, wherever the spiritual energy is abundant, he will cultivate there for a period of time. You can have people look for him in the deep mountains and old forests."
Ren Ran was stunned. ( ̄△ ̄;)
Great, the chances just got lower.
Don't think it's easy to find people just because there's a photo. If it were really so easy to find people, there wouldn't be so many fugitives.
The government has a huge surveillance system yet still can't easily find people in the vast population, let alone the private agency she would hire.
But either way, money had to be spent, people had to be found.
The next day, Ren Ran went to school as usual. Right after morning self-study, the head teacher brought a person into the classroom, and upon the person entering, many cries of surprise came from the students' mouths.
"Wow, so pretty."
"Her skin is so good."
"Is she a transfer student?"
The students below were all discussing, curiously sizing up the girl wearing a white dress standing on the podium. Her long black hair draped over her shoulders, and the dimples at the corners of her lips. Her fair complexion and tranquil temperament made her average looking features appear beautiful.
It had to be said matching was very important. Suddenly appearing with a different look amidst the plainly dressed high school students naturally made her stand out.
Ren Ran's gaze calmly looked at Kong Lian on the podium.
She had finally come, earlier than her last life.
In this life she didn't fall into the trap, forcing her to come early.
Last lifetime, Kong Lian had transferred in at the end of the term. At that time, she had been injured by rumors and become silent and withdrawn, extremely sensitive to outside voices.
When Kong Lian transferred in, she was enthusiastic to everyone. All the students in the class liked her, even students from other classes liked her.
Everyone felt she was beautiful and kind-hearted.
She only took two short weeks to win over everyone's affection. Even if someone didn't like her, they wouldn't show it in front of her.
As a beautiful and kind-hearted person, she naturally wouldn't isolate a despised bootlicker.
She took the initiative to get close to her and often talked with her.
When people ridiculed her for being a bootlicker behind her back, she would stand up for her and refute them.
When people wanted to isolate her behind her back, she would take the initiative to keep her company.
When people advised her not to get too close to avoid being affected by her reputation, she would unhesitatingly stand in front of her and protect her beneath her wings.
At that time, she was wary of Kong Lian, no, more precisely, she was wary of everyone.
Even though Kong Lian did so much, she still didn't let down her guard and accept her as a friend.
Until that one time, the school organized an outing to relax body and mind by going into the mountains. Unfortunately they encountered a flash flood. The teachers organized everyone to evacuate, but no one came to notify her.
In such an urgent situation, disregarding the danger, Kong Lian came alone.
The two were trapped in the mountains and nearly lost their lives.
Not to mention a woman, even a man might not have been able to do this.
It could be said Kong Lian took a gamble. Succeeding, she could gain her trust. Failing, she would be finished.
Kong Lian had completely inherited the ruthlessness of Kong Liji and Ruan Fengru.
It was precisely because of the life-saving grace that one time that she gradually lowered her guard and took her as a friend.
From that day onward, the relationship between the two became very good, and she also gradually became more cheerful.
Seeing her condition improve, her mother was very grateful to Kong Lian, often buying her clothes and bags, treating her exceptionally well.
