Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Qiaoqiao, the Beloved of the Group Chapter 553: Chapter 553: Qiaoqiao, the Beloved of the Group “Why apologize?”

She bluntly asked.

Lu Jingzhi’s expression was a mix of conflict and annoyance.

“If I hadn’t pushed her so hard, maybe she wouldn’t have done such a thing today.”

He had almost harmed his own family.

Lu Jingzhi never regretted his actions, except for his regretful attitude towards Qiao Yun. In all other matters, he was always resolute.

But now he began to wonder, was his way of doing things wrong?

Qiao Yun couldn’t understand Lu Jingzhi’s thoughts, so she told him based on her own perspective, “Without you, she would have done the same thing, so it’s not your fault. You shouldn’t blame yourself.”

Before the divorce, Ye Miaoshan was never happy with the close relationship between Su Fan and Su Mian, blaming Su Fan for always listening to Su Mian’s advice.

After the divorce, she was bound to attribute the reason to Su Mian.

Lu Jingzhi met her clear and bright eyes, and after a moment of dazedness, his heavy heart miraculously lightened.

It seemed… this was the first time his sister had comforted him.

With that thought, the smile on his face grew even deeper.

Seeing Lu Jingzhi suddenly laughing like an idiot, Qiao Yun didn’t ask and turned to go upstairs.

Lu Jingzhi had been acting weird lately.

“Big brother, sister has gone upstairs, and you’re still laughing?” Lu Zhanxing could not stand it anymore and stopped Lu Jingzhi’s solo laughter.

Lu Jingzhi came back to reality with an awkward cough, then resumed his calm and serious demeanor.

Lu Zhanxing narrowed his eyes, “What were you laughing at just now? That’s so creepy, you be careful or you’ll never find a girlfriend that way.”

“You find one for me to see first. You’re always clinging to sister, I bet you’ll never find a girlfriend in this lifetime,” Lu Jingzhi said with a hint of sourness.

Lu Zhanxing raised an eyebrow, teasing, “What a strong scent of vinegar.”

Lu Jingzhi: “…”

He took out his phone from his pocket and addressed his parents who were still in the living room discussing today’s events.

“Dad, Mom, stop frowning. Would you like to see some of Zhanxing’s embarrassing moments from when he was little, to lighten the mood?”

Lu Zhanxing: “…!!!”

Damn it, this big brother is getting trickier by the day!

…

After Qiao Yun went upstairs and back to her room, she took out her phone. Now that the signal was restored, she realized how much concern she had missed in the short while she was away.

Her phone was practically exploding with messages.

Qiao Yun stared blankly at the phone, with messages of concern from different people, most of whom were asking if something had happened to her, while others inquired about the car accident.

After all, the incident was now in the news; it was difficult not to draw attention.

It was also because of these events that Qiao Yun realized that, apart from her family, there were so many people who were worried and cared about her well-being and even her life.

She had thought that these people were just afraid of her, and they paid attention only because of her abilities.

Qiao Yun first replied to the group from the research institute.

[I’m fine, you don’t need to come.]

As soon as this message was out, the chat group was bombarded with messages.

[Ah ah ah, in my lifetime I can still see our teacher alive, I’m crying.]

[The teacher’s fine, now I don’t need to secretly change the flight boarding information and sneak over there, yay.]

[What, why didn’t you invite me? [image] I’m on the mountain top, was just about to use my self-made Power Glider Wing to fly over.]

[I’m smart, I took a boat haha, but I think I got lost, someone save me!]

Han Wang: [Sorry teacher, it’s my fault for not keeping an eye on them.]

Qiao Yun replied with an impassive cold face: [Add the safety regulations a thousand times more.]

[No, please! I haven’t even finished the last hundred thousand times.]

[The deeper the love, the stricter the teacher’s punishments~ But, could it be a bit less?]

Qiao Yun moved her fingers: “Twenty thousand times.”

Pei Yao, upon seeing this, mocked them mercilessly, “Hahahahahaha.”

Not long after, Pei Yao appeared again: “Damn it, which asshole hacked my computer? Han Wang, was it you?”

“Hehehehe, come at me if you dare.”

“Come at me if you dare.”

“Come at me if you dare.”

Qiao Yun moved her fingers and closed the chat group; finally, her vision was quiet.

With a serious expression on her small face, she thought to herself that she really shouldn’t hold too much expectation for them.

It seemed she had to add another rule to the safety guidelines, no escaping on one’s own.

After having a row with this group of ungrateful kids in the group chat, Pei Yao came to ask Qiao Yun, “Boss, are you really alright? Are you hurt?”

“No.”

Her answer was as concise as ever.

Only then did Pei Yao feel relieved; he was also annoyed that he hadn’t paid more attention to Ye Miaoshan, but who could have guessed Ye Miaoshan would be so ruthless?

Afterward, Qiao Yun replied to Grandpa Qiao Se, telling him not to worry.

At that moment, her phone rang; it was Li Hanzhou calling.

Qiao Yun answered the call, but the voice that came through was Li Miao’s.

“Qiaoqiao, are you alright? Are you hurt? How could your ex-aunt be so cruel? It’s terrifying.”

Qiao Yun reassured Li Miao, who was agitated, “I’m fine, someone saved me.”

“That’s good to hear. Don’t be angry, okay? It’s not worth it to be angry at such a person. I’ll be angry for you.”

Qiao Yun said, “You shouldn’t be angry either. It’s not worth it.”

“Alright then, I won’t be angry anymore… Ah, Brother, I wasn’t finished talking…”

There was some noise on the phone for a while, and then Li Hanzhou took over the call.

The man asked in a deep, pleasant voice, “You’re really alright?”

“Yes,” Qiao Yun replied decisively.

That was the question she’d been asked the most that day, but she still answered them patiently, one by one.

Because this was the first time she experienced concern from so many people.

Once Li Hanzhou knew Qiao Yun was fine, he instructed her, “If the Zhou Family seeks you out again, you have to tell me.”

“Okay.” Although Qiao Yun believed she could handle it, she didn’t refuse Li Hanzhou’s proposal.

She felt light all over; this was probably a sign of being in a good mood.

Li Hanzhou didn’t chat with her much and, after making an arrangement to meet next time, he hung up the call.

As soon as that call ended, a call from Qiao Xun came in.

“Qiaoqiao, are you alright?”

Qiao Yun answered for who knew how many times, “I’m fine.”

“That’s good. What happened today? Why were you out of contact?”

The issue had even reached him.

Qiao Yun replied indifferently, “Someone sought me out for a partnership.”

“Sought you out?” Qiao Xun laughed, “They were trying to force you, right? Who’s got the nerve to do that?”

“The Zhou Family of Yuncheng.”

“It’s them.” Qiao Xun thought; it wasn’t surprising that they were capable of such a thing.

Being familiar with the people of the Zhou Family in Yuncheng, he asked with curiosity, “What did they want to partner up for?”

“They probably wanted the New Life Plan.”

Since her uncle was aware of the New Life Plan, Qiao Yun didn’t hide it from him and shared her speculations.

When Qiao Yun mentioned this, the person on the other end of the line seemed to pause for a moment, and then his voice became somewhat grave.
