Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Uncle Will Always Be on Your Side Chapter 516: Chapter 516: Uncle Will Always Be on Your Side He could not let this happen.

Zhou Xinyu now regretted it deeply, very deeply.

“Miss Lu, it was my mistake for failing to recognize a truly great person. Please be generous and do not take this to heart,”

Zhou Xinyu completely dropped his previous condescending attitude and humbly begged Qiao Yun for her forgiveness.

“As long as you forgive me, I can meet any of your demands. All of this was my doing, and it has nothing to do with the Zhou Family or my grandmother. You cannot just watch a life be taken away.”

Qiao Yun nodded slightly, “You’re trying to morally blackmail me again.”

“I wouldn’t dare, I wouldn’t dare,” Zhou Xinyu quickly waved his hands.

Qiao Yun continued, “What you said makes sense. It’s unrelated to the Zhou Family; you were the one who offended me.”

“Exactly,” Zhou Xinyu was not afraid of Qiao Yun directing her anger towards him, given that he had the backing of the Zhou Family. The imminent task was to pacify Qiao Xun.

Qiao Yun said, “Alright then, I won’t trouble the Zhou Family, I will find you.”

Zhou Xinyu didn’t understand her fully, but he had a bad feeling about this.

Qiao Yun stated plainly, “You own a company. I want it as punishment.”

Her idea was simple.

Zhou Xinyu dared to bother her because he was wealthy.

Without money, he wouldn’t come bothering her.

Thus, Qiao Yun decided to take his company away. Making this decision took her less than thirty seconds.

She had the confidence, even if it was against the Zhou Family; she would always find a way to take it if she wanted.

Initially, she did indeed plan to acquire the entire Zhou Family–it would just take some time. Thus, she had to find the main culprit.

Zhou Xinyu became somewhat irritated by Qiao Yun’s words, shedding his ingratiating demeanor, and said mockingly, “That’s hilarious! Just by yourself?”

“Just by myself,” Qiao Yun said lightly. “Be prepared.”

“Who do you think you are, a mere girl trying to take my company?” Zhou Xinyu found it amusing.

Although Qiao Yun was adopted by the Qiao Family, did he think his company could be taken so easily?

Qiao Xun furrowed his eyebrows, “Watch your tone.”

“This is you all being too oppressive,” Zhou Xinyu said coldly. “Indeed, the Zhou Family needs your help, but we won’t tolerate being bullied.”

“Oh?” Qiao Xun gave a smile that wasn’t quite a smile. “So my niece can just be bullied by your Zhou Family?”

Zhou Xinyu was speechless, “How can it be the same.”

“Tell me, what’s the difference?”

“I…”

Zhou Xinyu, furious, said, “Dream on about wanting my company.”

The company was his lifeline, and he would absolutely not part with it.

Qiao Yun was utterly unconcerned about the nearly hopping mad Zhou Xinyu, she had only come to make her stance clear, and having said what she needed, she didn’t want to stay any longer.

As Qiao Yun was about to leave, Qiao Xun naturally would not stay behind.

Zhou Xinyu’s face grew dark. He knew there was absolutely no turning back on this matter; Qiao Xun would not intervene.

As for Qiao Yun claiming his company, he did not for a moment believe that Qiao Yun could drive him into bankruptcy, though it was possible she might create some trouble for his business.

After all, he had previously sought out Qiao Yun uninvited, causing the Lu Family to trouble his business, but later his grandfather stepped in, and the situation was resolved.

Now, driving a large company into bankruptcy would require a great deal of effort and financial resources, and he believed the Lu Family would not be so irrational.

Zhou Xinyu also knew that Qiao Yun had a good relationship with Elder Li, but he was sure that Elder Li would not intervene on Qiao Yun’s behalf.

Who would do business at a loss.

With this thought, Zhou Xinyu was even more convinced that Qiao Yun was just bluffing to scare him.

Zhou Xinyu didn’t take Qiao Yun’s words to heart; he was now troubled by how to explain this matter to his grandfather to avoid being kicked out of the Zhou Family.

After leaving the private room, Qiao Xun noticed Qiao Yun frowning, uncertain what she was thinking about.

He asked, “What’s wrong? Is there something you can’t figure out?”

Qiao Yun replied in confusion, “I was just wondering if what I did was right because that is a human life. She hasn’t done anything bad to me, is this considered involving an innocent?”

Qiao Xun didn’t expect her to be thinking about this issue and a hint of amusement showed in his eyes.

Qiao Yun seemed very cold, but she was clear about favors and grudges, like how this time she targeted only Zhou Xinyu personally, not the entire Zhou Family.

He thought carefully and told Qiao Yun the truth, “Old Mistress Zhou is elderly, and the illness she suffers from due to her age is hard to cure, especially since it involves organ failure. Doctors indeed can save lives but they are not miracle-workers, so whether or not I save her, the result is the same; at most, it would allow her to live a few more days.”

Qiao Yun blinked, her heart skipping a beat.

She thought of her grandfather.

Human life is indeed fleeting…

Qiao Xun continued, “If I intervene, but fail to cure her, given the Zhou Family’s way of doing things, it might not end well. You would have helped your uncle deal with a problem.”

Qiao Yun thought about it and felt it made sense.

Seeing that Qiao Yun had understood, Qiao Xun asked, “Shall I take you home?”

“No need, I can go back by myself.”

“Alright, I’ll be going then; take care on your way.”

Qiao Yun watched Qiao Xun get into the car, politely bidding farewell, “Uncle, goodbye.”

Qiao Xun looked at his sensible and cute niece, feeling a mix of sourness and guilt, and smiled, “Goodbye.”

After a pause, he said, “Qiaoqiao, no matter what happens in the future, your uncle will always stand by your side and will never hurt you. Do you believe me?”

Qiao Yun slightly tilted her head in confusion, then nodded without hesitation, “I believe you.”

Qiao Xun chuckled and drove away.

As Qiao Yun was about to leave, suddenly someone blocked her path.

She looked up and saw Ye Miaoshan.

“Qiaoqiao.”

Ye Miaoshan appeared somewhat haggard, but when speaking with Qiao Yun, her face carried a somewhat meaningful smile, “The person you were with just now was Qiao Xun, right?”

Qiao Yun didn’t respond to Ye Miaoshan, her tone cold, “I’m going home now.”

Ye Miaoshan stopped her, “Wait, don’t go. It seems like you have a pretty good relationship with Qiao Xun.”

She thought to herself, Su Mian was really something, clearly knowing Qiao Xun yet repeatedly denying acquaintance, and now she had caught her red-handed.

Only a big fool like Su Fan would still think Su Mian had his best interests at heart. If she really cared about him, why hide this matter; she probably couldn’t stand seeing their family do well.

“It’s none of your business,” Qiao Yun maintained her cool demeanor.

“How can it be none of my business? Since you know Qiao Xun, help your uncle and arrange a meeting between him and Qiao Xun,” Ye Miaoshan calculated sharply.

Lately, Su Fan had been indifferent to her, and with the previous misunderstanding about the affair, Su Fan had already wavered on the idea of divorce.

If she could facilitate a business deal between the Zhou Family and the Su Family, wouldn’t Su Fan forgive her and treat her well like before?

“Why should I help?” Qiao Yun was genuinely puzzled.
