Chapter 544 - Chapter 544 Chapter 544 I Need Some Things

Chapter 544: Chapter 544 I Need Some Things Chapter 544: Chapter 544 I Need Some Things Qiao Yun’s face was pinched between Lu Zhanxing’s hands, her lips slightly pouted as she mumbled unclearly, “Don’t pinch.”

Only then did Lu Zhanxing realize the outrageous act he had committed. To dare pinch Professor Qiao’s face like it was dough, he really had some nerve.

He withdrew his hand, touched his nose, and said, “I just couldn’t help myself, Brother.”

“Alright, I forgive you.”

“Thank you, little sister.”

Look, it wasn’t that he always wanted to pinch his little sister’s face. It was her, with her small face so stern and serious, speaking like a little grown-up.

She was really so adorable.

…

Qiao Yun went upstairs, sat on the edge of her bed and spaced out for a while, thinking about the mysterious organization Pei Ya had mentioned today. She took out her phone and sent a message to Pei Ya.

[I need some things.]

[Boss, just tell me what you need.]

Qiao Yun told Pei Ya what she required.

[Received, consider it done.]

After making arrangements, Qiao Yun went to wash up and sleep.

By the next morning, the items Qiao Yun had asked for had arrived.

After getting her hands on them, she brought them out while the whole family was sitting together for a meal.

She first took out a beautifully wrapped box and handed it to Lu Zhanxing, “Here, for you.”

Lu Zhanxing was momentarily stunned, “Is today a special occasion? Why are you suddenly giving Brother a gift?”

Without a word, Qiao Yun simply pushed the gift box a little closer, signaling for Lu Zhanxing to take it.

With a puzzled expression and under the envious, jealous, and resentful gazes of his parents and elder brother, Lu Zhanxing opened the beautiful box.

A pair of earrings studded with red gemstones caught his eye.

Lu Zhanxing stared at the gemstone on the earrings for a good moment, swallowed hard, and quietly asked, “Are these gems real? They must be expensive, right…”

Qiao Yun nonchalantly said, “Not expensive, just one billion.”

Lu Zhanxing’s eyes widened as he stared at the earring in the palm of his hand.

Just one billion…

Just one billion???

Damn, that’s worth more than his own net worth!

“It’s not a family heirloom, is it?”

He knew that his little sister might be richer than he was, but he hadn’t realized she was this rich. Just how much could Professor Qiao be earning in patent fees per year? It was terrifying!

“It’s not a family heirloom, it’s pretty and suits you. You should wear it every day,” Qiao Yun instructed earnestly.

Having such an expensive item on him would be a lot of pressure, but it was a gift from his little sister, so naturally, Lu Zhanxing promised.

“I’ll wear it, don’t worry, little sister. Brother will guard it well.”

“Mhm.”

Qiao Yun nodded in satisfaction, then took out another exquisite gift for Su Mian.

“This one’s for you.”

Su Mian immediately grabbed it, opened it, and found a beautiful bracelet inside, studded with gemstones just like Lu Zhanxing’s earrings.

Lu Zhanxing felt another wave of shock at the sight of the gemstone.

Crisis! What to do when, as an older brother, you’re poorer than your little sister?

“Mom, I love it,” Su Mian couldn’t wait to put it on, showing off, “Does it look good?”

Lu Rui complimented, “It looks great, everything looks good on you.”

Su Mian’s cheeks flushed with shyness, “You always say the right thing.”

Qiao Yun, disregarding their public display of affection, also handed a gift box to Lu Rui.

“Does Dad have one too?” Lu Rui quickly took it, finding a pair of cufflinks, “Nice, they look good.”

Qiao Yun turned to Lu Jingzhi, who looked envious, and softly said, “This is for you.”

Lu Jingzhi looked at the gift box in Qiao Yun’s hands, a bit overwhelmed, as he hadn’t expected to receive anything.

He carefully took it, “Thank you, little sister.”

Lu Jingzhi, with a nervous heart, slowly opened the gift box to find that it contained cufflinks just like Lu Rui’s, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Good, this time it’s a normal gift, not a children’s electronic watch.

Qiao Yun instructed again, “Make sure to wear them.”

“Don’t worry, Mom will definitely wear them every day, this is a gift from my precious daughter,” Su Mian couldn’t let go of the bracelet, “But why are you suddenly giving us gifts?”

Before Qiao Yun could answer, Lu Rui chimed in, “It’s a New Year’s gift, right, Qiaoqiao, you’re thoughtful.”

The Lu family heard this and looked at Qiao Yun with eyes full of warmth.

She’s so understanding.

Lu Zhanxing and Lu Jingzhi had already started planning in their minds what gifts to give their sister for New Year to show how much they valued her.

Seeing their misunderstanding, Qiao Yun didn’t say anything else; sometimes ignorance is bliss.

…

A few days later.

Early in the morning, the Lu couple brought Qiao Yun back to the old house, which was her first visit since the news of Qiao Yun being the Qiao Family’s foster daughter had come out.

“My dear granddaughter, come here and let Grandma have a good look at you,” the old lady hurriedly pulled Qiao Yun over to scrutinize her from head to toe.

“You took this long to remember your grandma? Humph, in your eyes, Grandma is not important at all.”

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, looking towards Su Mian.

Su Mian laughed, “Mom, stop teasing Qiaoqiao, she’ll take it seriously.”

“Alright, I’ll stop,” the old lady said, holding Qiao Yun’s hand, “Come back more often, and Grandma will stop teasing.”

“Okay,” Qiao Yun obediently nodded.

The group settled in the living room.

Lu Shiran, knowing Qiao Yun was coming today, got up early, and immediately snatched Qiao Yun away from the old lady upon her arrival.

“Sister, play a game with me.”

“Okay,” Qiao Yun agreed, but before that, she pulled out the prepared gift boxes and handed them over to each one of them.

“For you.”

The old lady smiled, “Why are you suddenly giving gifts?”

Lu Rui explained, “These are the New Year’s gifts Qiaoqiao prepared in advance for you all.”

“It should be us preparing gifts for you, not the other way around.”

The old master teased her, “Look at you, all happy, what’s there to pretend?”

“You old man, nobody would take you for a mute if you stayed silent.”

The old lady scolded with a smile, then looked into the box with a beaming face.

It was a jade necklace.

She loved it at first sight, picking it up to take a closer look, “It’s really beautiful, I love it very much, Grandma does.”

The old master got a pair of reading glasses, and for Lu Shiran, a skull necklace that suited his tastes perfectly.

“Cool,” Lu Shiran really liked it.

Qiao Yun looked at the skull necklace, fell silent for a while, then disdainfully averted her eyes.

“Just right, Grandma has a gift for you too,” the old lady took out a sweater she had knitted herself, ready from before.

“I was thinking of waiting till New Year to give it, but today seems just right.”

Qiao Yun took the sweater, holding it in her arms, soft and warm.

She said softly, “Thank you, Grandma.”

Seeing such a well-behaved appearance, the old lady’s heart softened.

“Go play with your cousin.”

“Okay.”

Lu Shiran quickly whisked Qiao Yun away.

As everyone went upstairs, the Lu couple stayed behind to chat with the elders for a while.

The old master brought up the charity art auction happening in a few days to Lu Rui.

Lu Rui paused, then replied, “We’ve also received an invitation, it’s organized by the Sunshine Charity Foundation this time, it’s backed by the government, you can trust it.”
