Chapter 13: Fresh start
The next morning, Qin Yan woke up at 5 am. She had decided to train her body from that day itself. After changing into a set of casualwear, she went for a run around the Qin villa.
With her slow pace, one round around the villa would take her thirty minutes to complete.
Qin Yan began her morning run. Several hundred meters in, her overweight figure was panting badly.
For the sake of gaining strength, she could only grit her teeth and persist. Whenever she lost the strength to run, she would walk. After recovering, she would continue with her run.
Two hours later, Qin Yan returned to the villa's living room covered in sweat.
Although she was damn hungry, being a clean freak, she went to her room to take a shower. Weekend was over and she had to go to school that day.
When she looked into the mirror, she saw that her face was somewhat clearer. Because she hadn't drunk the soup for past two days, it's effects were reducing. But even if her acne vanished, the acne marks would not go easily. She had to think about how to remove them.
She came downstairs with her school bag and went to the dining room. The other family members were already present.
Seeing her, Lu Yaran asked, "Qin Yan, did you go out in the morning?"
"Yes mom. I went for a run. Just as you say, I need to lose weight," Qin Yan answered.
Lu Yaran's eyes flashed, 'Why is this bitch trying to lose weight! What happened suddenly! It seems that her behaviour has undergone a drastic change. No, I need to stop her. Otherwise my whole plan will go in vain!'
"Mother is just concerned about your health. But why did you go on a run? Aren't you dieting? That is enough for you to lose weight. Mother doesn't want to see you getting tired. I have planned your meals and you just need to follow the diet plan to get slimmer," Lu Yaran. said with a smile.
Qin Yan sneered, "Mom, you have worked so hard these years just for my diet. But look, instead of getting slimmer, I am getting fatter. I think my body is not responding properly to this diet plan. Moreover, I read on the internet that exercise is more important than diet. So, I will exercise daily and keep my diet normal. You don't have to prepare separate food for me. I want to lower mother's burden."
Qin Yicheng nodded at Qin Yan's words, "Yaran, Yan Yan is right. Exercise is more important. The child has become sensible now. You can let go of your worries."
"What are you saying, dear! How can doing something for our daughter burden me! If you both say so, I won't object to exercise, but she has to follow my diet," Lu Yaran insisted.
Qin Yan said pitifully, "Mother, after exercising so much, I want to eat normal food. Please have mercy on me. If you insist, after I finish eating, I'll have some soup. Is that okay with you?"
Qin Yan knew that Lu Yaran would not give up. So she had already planned everything. The latter could not force her in front of Qin Yicheng and Qin Yan took advantage of this fact to peacefully negotiate with her.
As expected, after hearing that Qin Yan agreed to have soup, Lu Yaran's eyes lit up, "Okay, I cannot win against you. But you have to keep your promise."
"Okay mom, thank you so much," Qin Yan cheered.
Finishing the Breakfast, Qin Yan drank some soup and got ready to leave the house. Qin Muran was touching up and Qin Yan took this opportunity to spit out all the soup she drank. It seemed like she had to do this everyday till she moved out of the house.
Both the sisters got into the car and left for the school.
"Sister, why did you retort my statements yesterday? Why didn't you support me in front of father? After all, I was doing all this for your sake. I didn't expect you to treat me like this," Qin Muran said while sobbing silently.
Qin Yan sneered in her heart, 'She is still acting! What a hypocrite!'
"Muran, as far as I remember, I didn't say anything about dropping out. Even after you suggested it, I didn't say yes. I didn't even promise you that I'll talk to father about this. And you saw how angry he was yesterday. If I said something like this, he would have skinned me alive," Qin Yan trembled.
Qin Muran gnashed her teeth in hatred, "But..I would have backed you up."
"Sister, this is my matter. I didn't want you to face father's anger. I don't want you to get hurt," Qin Yan said softly to Qin Muran.
