Chapter 521 - Chapter 521 Chapter 521 The Lu Family Is Not Worthy of Her

Chapter 521: Chapter 521: The Lu Family Is Not Worthy of Her Chapter 521: Chapter 521: The Lu Family Is Not Worthy of Her Qiao Yun’s heart felt warm and fuzzy, and there seemed to be a hint of a smile in her eyes. She caressed the watch with her small hand and lifted her fair face to say, “I really like it.”

“I knew you would like it.” Li Hanzhou wanted to give Qiao Yun the best things.

He liked to see Qiao Yun happy. Although it wasn’t very obvious, whenever she felt happy, her eyes would shine very brightly.

Seeing that the time was about right, everyone moved to the garden to start today’s party.

Li Miao took the opportunity to ask Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, you and he get along really well, huh?”

She was referring to Pei Ya.

“Yeah, we get along very well.” Qiao Yun did not deny her relationship with Pei Ya, “We grew up together.”

Li Miao’s face took on a profound expression, turning to look at her brother who was talking with the Lu Family’s couple not far away.

Tsk tsk… Childhood sweethearts, huh.

She felt her brother didn’t stand a chance.

Li Miao was a bit worried.

“Is something the matter?” Qiao Yun felt that Li Miao’s attitude was a bit strange.

“It’s nothing.” Li Miao waved her hand and then patted Qiao Yun’s shoulder, “Hehe, your charm is really something.”

Qiao Yun blinked, not understanding the meaning of that sentence.

Li Miao thought to herself, worthy of being her close sister, so many people like her.

On this side.

Ye Miaoshan was also talking to Su Qingqing.

She glanced at Pei Ya and Li Hanzhou, and asked mysteriously, “Qingqing, who do you think is better, Mr. Li or Director Pei?”

“Mom, why are you asking this?”

Su Qingqing’s voice was soft, and she felt that her mother’s question was oddly strange, giving her a sense of selecting a royal consort?

Ye Miaoshan analyzed, “If you ask me, both are quite good. Mr. Li’s family has a large business, and Director Pei’s Shengqiao Group is also internationally renowned. The only thing is, Mr. Li’s parents are still alive, while Director Pei is said to be an orphan. Having living parents means there will definitely be family conflicts in the future, but it’s easier with an orphan since you can make decisions on your own.”

Su Qingqing finally understood what was amiss.

Her mother’s thoughts were really beautiful.

She suppressed the frustration in her heart, and with a graceful smile, said, “What are you talking about, I don’t even know them. What does it matter to me how they are?”

“Not knowing them now doesn’t matter, you’ll meet them later.” Ye Miaoshan encouraged her, “Such a rare opportunity, you must seize it; once this chance is gone, there won’t be another.”

“Is that really appropriate?”

“What’s not appropriate about it? Listen to your mother, later on, make a good impression in front of them. If you can catch their attention, the rest of your life will be worry-free. I’m doing this for your own good.”

So many people are unable to meet them, and today they’ve come knocking at her door.

Su Qingqing looked troubled, “Mom, are you asking me to go seduce them?”

Ye Miaoshan was taken aback for a moment and retorted, “How is that seducing? It’s just getting to know them.”

“Is there a difference? I’m a girl, you’re telling me to go up to men and initiate a conversation, it could very well be said that I’m immodest, haven’t those two seen what kind of woman I am, won’t they know such little schemes?”

Su Qingqing said with aggrieved eyes, “If it gets out, my reputation could be ruined.”

Ye Miaoshan thought about it and realized there seemed to be some truth to it.

“You know what I think? They should be the ones to take the initiative to come to me, that would show our restraint, right?” Su Qingqing’s face wore a determined smile.

Ye Miaoshan patted the back of Su Qingqing’s hand, “You’re right, my daughter is so good, just standing there will make them come over by themselves.”

“Mhm.” Su Qingqing nodded, her face full of agreement.

Ye Miaoshan didn’t bring up the subject of Su Qingqing taking the initiative to scheme on them anymore–shouldn’t make friends and ruin her reputation in the process, who would dare to marry her in the future?

But Su Qingyan was different; as a man, he definitely needed to be proactive.

So, Ye Miaoshan turned to Su Qingyan and said, “It’s not easy for Miss Li to be here too, later on go and chat with her.”

“If you like Miss Li so much, why don’t you go and show yourself?” Su Qingyan tugged at the corner of his mouth, his laughter laced with sarcasm.

Ye Miaoshan frowned, “How can you speak to mom like that? If she tells you to go, you just go, what’s with all the nonsense?”

Su Qingyan didn’t say a word, his eyes gloomy as he stood up and left Ye Miaoshan’s side.

“Look at him, he’s just too disobedient,” Ye Miaoshan thought to herself, feeling that her daughter was more sensible.

Su Qingqing looked at Su Qingyan with eyes full of sympathy.

Her brother was really pitiable.

But she was barely able to protect herself, so it was best to keep silent.

She feared that her mother, on a whim, would drag her in front of Li Hanzhou and Pei Ya to introduce herself, and then she’d truly have no face to see her little cousin.

…

Qiao Yun personally took charge of the barbecue.

For convenience, she tied her hair into a bun and put on a pink, lace-edged apron that Su Mian had specially bought for her, looking just like a little princess.

So adorable that Su Mian and Su Qingqing wanted nothing more than to pinch and poke her.

Pei Ya couldn’t bear to look – who was this tender and cute little princess?

How could she possibly be the Professor Qiao who didn’t bat an eye when taking a life?

Give me back Professor Qiao!

Lu Zhanxing assisted from the side while Lu Shiran also sidled over, not wanting to be outdone, earning an exasperated eye roll from Lu Zhanxing.

This brat, no matter how much he tried to compete, his sister was still his own.

Pei Ya rolled up his sleeves and said, “I’ll help you too.”

His presence made Lu Zhanxing and Lu Shiran a bit uncomfortable.

Isn’t it better for a big shot like you to just wait to be served? Is it really okay for you to stoop so low?

Pei Ya saw their discomfort but didn’t care, as it was a rare chance to show off in front of Professor Qiao.

How could he let his Professor Qiao’s precious hands cook for others?

Li Hanzhou didn’t lift a finger and simply handed Qiao Yun a skewer of meat, “I want this.”

“Okay,” Qiao Yun took it and placed it on the grill.

Seeing how well-behaved she was, Li Hanzhou’s face revealed an involuntary smile.

He also gave Pei Ya a provocative eyebrow lift.

Pei Ya nearly choked on his blood in rage.

It was absolutely outrageous!

Lu Jingzhi didn’t join in, but watched from a distance. Seeing how natural the interaction between Li Hanzhou and Qiao Yun was, his brows knit tightly together.

No matter what, he was against his sister being with Li Hanzhou.

Being friends was fine, but nothing more, he did not agree.

But right now, he had no right to dissuade her.

“The grandmother hasn’t yet tried Qiaoqiao’s barbecued food, right?” the elderly lady said, feeling a little left out.

The elderly man teased her, “At your age, barbecue isn’t good for your health.”

“I just want to try some.”

“Alright, there’s plenty.” Qiao Yun asked them, “What would you like to eat?”

Everyone, except for Ye Miaoshan, told her what they wanted.

Qiao Yun grilled each request one by one; in fact, she was really enjoying the gathering.

Although it wasn’t apparent on her face, her earnest barbecue efforts showed that she was truly happy.

Pei Ya previously didn’t understand why Professor Qiao wanted to stay with the Lu Family, and he was against her staying.

He thought the Lu Family wasn’t good enough for her.
