Scarlett Ran's Quantum Leap Chapter 7

Chief Engineer Liang had warned Scarlett Ran before that foreign media might use her relationship with her father to make an issue, so that she could be mentally prepared in advance.

Scarlett Ran nodded, but he didn't expect Chief Engineer Liang's reminder to come so quickly.

In Scarlett Ran's heart, people whom he hasn't seen in nearly thirty years are no different from strangers. He really doesn't care at all.

Scarlett Ran has only seen his father once since he was born, when he returned to his hometown to go through divorce procedures.

Scarlett Ran was four years old at that time and did not have a household registration yet.

Her grandparents and father took her to apply for household registration. When the staff asked her age, her grandfather reported her age by a year so that Scarlett Ran could go to school next year and save someone from having to watch her at home.

The old people in the village used to say that Scarlett Ran was lucky. Her father studied in a big city and would definitely take her to live in the city in the future. Scarlett Ran didn't know where the big city was, but she was looking forward to her father coming back and taking her away from here.

Later Scarlett Ran met his father, who came to get a divorce. After her parents divorced, Scarlett Ran was sentenced to be given to her mother, but her mother didn't want to take her with her.

The grandparents said that they could take him, but the alimony paid by Scarlett Ran's father would also go to them. At the same time, there was also a sum of money for their old age that had to be paid back every month. Only after they agreed did they let Scarlett Ran's father go. read.

Scarlett Ran's father agreed, then left home without looking back, and never came back for more than thirty years.

At first, Scarlett Ran thought that her father was studying in a so-called "big city" and was waiting for him to pick her up and leave here. It took me a few years to find out that my father had gone abroad after that departure.

He got a place to study abroad for a Ph.D. at public expense, but he broke the contract and stayed in country A after graduation. He found a job as a lecturer in a university in country A and settled down there.

Scarlett Ran's father relied on his talent in reading to step out of the village and stay away from his poor native family. As long as he paid money back on time every month, he would not be harassed by his family.

When Scarlett Ran didn't understand anything when he was a child, he knew that if he wanted to leave here like his father, he had to study hard.

Scarlett Ran's father knew what his family was like, but he still left his young daughter there alone.

To him, his family was bad enough for him to do whatever he could to stay away from them.

But Scarlett Ran is innocent.

For Scarlett Ran, her father and her father's parents and brothers are both terrible and irresponsible people.

Scarlett Ran lives a very hard life at home. She wakes up every morning to cook for her grandparents, clean the chicken coop and clean the yard. After doing this, I walked hungry for half an hour to school and ate the free breakfast at school.

The grandparents were willing to let Scarlett Ran go to school because they could save two meals for the family. And there is usually no dinner after returning home.

Not only was there no food, there was also a lot of housework waiting for her to do.

When she graduated from junior high school, Scarlett Ran's grandmother had passed away.

Grandpa is not going to let Scarlett Ran continue to go to school. He plans to let her go out to work and go home to get married in a few years.

Even if the city's high school was willing to waive all of Scarlett Ran's fees and provide her with room and board subsidies every month, grandpa still wouldn't agree. Because the subsidy is not as much as the income earned by working.

In the end, it was Scarlett Ran, the head teacher of junior high school, who found out about this and came up with a solution.

Scarlett Ran's grandfather refused to let her go to school, so the head teacher took several other teachers to the school where Uncle Scarlett Ran worked to make noise.

Uncle Scarlett Ran was the principal of a primary school in the town. He let others know that his niece had passed the high school entrance examination and was ranked number one in the city, but the family did not allow her to report it, as it would affect his reputation as the principal.

The uncle came forward and talked with grandpa all night before grandpa agreed that Scarlett Ran could continue studying.

Less than a month after the first year of high school, Scarlett Ran's grandfather passed away unexpectedly.

The uncle contacted Scarlett Ran's father who was abroad and used the news of his grandfather's death to get a large sum of funeral expenses. He also changed Scarlett Ran's future alimony into his own account.

After handling the funeral of grandpa, the uncle and the third uncle fought hard for Scarlett Ran's custody rights, or more precisely, the alimony from his father.

Scarlett Ran couldn't wait for the college entrance examination, she wanted to leave here immediately.

After telling her teacher about her situation, Scarlett Ran decided to sign up for next year's college entrance examination, enter university and leave her hometown.

The teachers helped her borrow textbooks for the second and third years of high school, and exercise books used by previous students, giving Scarlett Ran enough freedom to arrange her own study plan.

The belief that she wanted to leave supported Scarlett Ran and she gritted her teeth through the year. In the next year's college entrance examination, she was admitted to the best university in China and became a student in the science experimental class of University A.

Scarlett Ran always felt that she was quite lucky. She met many kind-hearted people who helped her, which made her, a person who could only read, get to where she is today.

After entering college, Scarlett Ran once searched for information on the thesis website. After checking, when she was about to close the website, she suddenly remembered something and entered a string of letters into the search bar. Unfortunately, what popped up was not what she wanted.

Scarlett Ran frowned, trying to remember and tried a few more times, and finally succeeded.

Scarlett Ran pursed her lips tightly and looked at the photo of the strange man on the webpage, as well as the personal introduction under the photo - Ran Wenbin, professor of the Department of Thermal Physics of National University of Science and Technology.
