Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 514 - Chapter 514 Chapter 514 Something is Off

Chapter 514: Chapter 514 Something is Off? Chapter 514: Chapter 514 Something is Off? Qiao Yun continued, “Arrange to meet him.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Xun did not ask Qiao Yun what the meeting with Zhou Xinyu was for, although it was quite puzzling, he still had his assistant contact Zhou Xinyu.

Zhou Xinyu was waiting for a response from his secretary, and after a long while without any result, he thought about calling to check what was going on.

That was when Qiao Xun’s invitation arrived.

Zhou Xinyu was filled with surprise.

He even started to doubt his life.

He asked incredulously, “Qiao Xun really asked to meet me? You’re not a scammer, are you?”

“Mr. Zhou, Doctor Qiao indeed has arranged to have dinner with you tomorrow.”

“I got it, I’ll be there on time.”

Zhou Xinyu looked at his phone, lost in thought.

Why is she suddenly asking to meet him after such a firm refusal before?

Could it be…

A light bulb went off in his head, she must have regretted it and wants the one billion compensation now.

Heh.

Too bad, last time he was the one seeking Qiao Xun, but now that Qiao Xun has come to him, they’ll have to have a good talk about the price.

He hasn’t forgotten how Qiao Xun didn’t give him face last time; this time it’s his turn to turn the tables.

…

Qiao Yun returned home.

She was somewhat taken aback to find her family all there.

At this time, Lu Rui and Lu Jingzhi should still be at work.

“Qiaoqiao, how was the last day of the exams?” Su Mian rushed over and took Qiao Yun’s little bag.

“Confident about your scores?”

Qiao Yun said earnestly, “I am.”

She was relaxed, showing no signs of post-exam stress.

“Mom, I told you my sister could do it, and yet you worried all day.” Lu Zhanxing teased his mother with a smile.

Su Mian glared at him, “You’re one to talk, you were restless all day yourself.”

Lu Zhanxing’s expression stiffened, and he chuckled awkwardly.

It was just a reflex; he didn’t doubt his sister’s abilities.

Lu Jingzhi glanced at the well-behaved Qiao Yun and suggested, “When the results are out, shall we celebrate for our sister?”

“That’s a great idea.” Lu Rui also agreed, “It’s my daughter’s first final exam; we must make a big deal of it.”

“So, are we going big for the celebration?” Su Mian was already considering whom to invite, not wanting to miss this excellent opportunity to show off her daughter.

Qiao Yun: “…”

“No celebration.”

“Of course we’re celebrating,” Su Mian said proudly, “My daughter did so well, we have to tell everyone.”

Qiao Yun reminded her, “The results aren’t out yet.”

“No need to wait, I know you’ll be first place,” Su Mian said confidently.

Qiao Yun felt a bit helpless but still indulged them, understanding that they valued her test because they cared about her so much.

She sat aside, watching her family excitedly discuss how to celebrate for her and took a sip of water, her eyes dark and shiny, seeming to contain a slight hint of amusement.

In this world, only Grandpa would cook her a meal to celebrate every time she won an award.

Ever since Grandpa passed away, she hadn’t had this experience for a long time.

…

There were still a few days left before the results were announced, and before then, Qiao Yun went to the restaurant that had been arranged by Qiao Xun and Zhou Xinyu on her own.

Zhou Xinyu encountered Qiao Yun downstairs, and they unexpectedly ran into each other. He looked at Qiao Yun, who had not a hair out of place, and felt puzzled for a moment.

How come she isn’t affected at all?

Because of the matter Qiao Xun had arranged with him yesterday, he had been so proud that he forgot to contact his secretary and didn’t know what had happened.

“We meet again.”

Last time, Zhou Xinyu had needed Qiao Yun’s help, so he was a bit nicer, but this time, he didn’t need her and his attitude wasn’t as good.

Qiao Yun ignored him, glancing at him lightly, and ascended the stairs.

Walking behind Qiao Yun, Zhou Xinyu sneered, “Little girl, you turned down a free million last time, and now you don’t have the chance to want it. Do you know why I’m here today?”

“You’re very noisy.” Qiao Yun’s voice was soft and tender, her dark eyes glanced at the babbling person, wearing a naturally cold expression.

Zhou Xinyu frowned, “You really have no manners. Is this how your parents taught you? To tell you the truth, I am here to see Qiao Xun today, and even without your mediation, I can meet him and make him save a life just the same.”

Qiao Yun said meaningfully, “I’m also here to see Qiao Xun.”

Zhou Xinyu: ??? You seem to be joking with me.

Then, he watched, wide-eyed, as Qiao Yun entered the same private room as him.

Zhou Xinyu was a bit stunned, watching dumbfoundedly as Qiao Yun walked over to where Qiao Xun, who had arrived earlier, was sitting, and quietly sat down beside him.

You’re actually not jesting with me???

Wait a minute…

If Qiao Xun arranged to meet him, why would he bring her along?

Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Zhou Xinyu asked arrogantly, “Doctor Qiao, what’s the purpose of our meeting today?”

Qiao Xun glanced at him and didn’t reply, but instead asked Qiao Yun with concern, “Have you eaten yet?”

“Not yet.” Qiao Yun replied honestly.

“Shall we eat first then?”

“Okay.” Qiao Yun picked up the digital menu and ordered some dishes.

The ignored Zhou Xinyu: “…?”

He felt even more puzzled; why did Qiao Xun seem different towards Qiao Yun than he had thought?

Zhou Xinyu tentatively asked, “It looks like Doctor Qiao and Miss Qiao have a good relationship?”

Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids and told him, “Shut up and eat.”

The words that Zhou Xinyu was about to say were suddenly stuck in his throat, and the next second he was seething; was this the attitude a junior should have towards an elder?

Just as he was about to rebuke her, Qiao Xun spoke coldly, “Didn’t you hear? Shut up, let’s eat first.”

Zhou Xinyu: ???

Seeing that Qiao Xun had no intention of talking right now, Zhou Xinyu could only sit there with his frustrations, waiting for them to finish eating.

The dishes were quickly served.

Qiao Yun quietly focused on her meal.

Occasionally, Qiao Xun would serve her some dishes with a gentle attitude, as if attending to an emperor, leaving Zhou Xinyu dumbstruck.

This is getting more and more strange? What exactly is the relationship between these two people?

A bad premonition began to bloom in Zhou Xinyu’s heart, the longer he was ignored, the more restless he became. From the full confidence he had when he first came in, to now feeling uneasy, his thoughts were a complete mess.

Finally, Qiao Yun finished eating. She put down her chopsticks and leisurely wiped her delicate fingers, her eyes, clear and distinct, staring at the person across from her, who was clearly anxious.

She didn’t say a word, as if pondering something.

Zhou Xinyu hurriedly took out a bank card he had prepared earlier, “This is the deposit, once Doctor Qiao cures my grandmother, we will pay the remaining remuneration.”

Qiao Xun looked at the bank card in front of him, didn’t reach for it, and chuckled, “Does Mr. Zhou think that I arranged today’s meeting for money?”

“What else could it be for?” Zhou Xinyu, thinking that Qiao Xun wasn’t satisfied with the amount of the deposit, took out another bank card and hinted, “I wonder if this would be sufficient?”
