Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 559 - Chapter 559 Chapter 559 Touch My Family Again and Ill Touch

Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Touch My Family Again, and I’ll Touch Yours Chapter 559: Chapter 559: Touch My Family Again, and I’ll Touch Yours Qiao Yun indeed wanted to keep people from the Zhou Family’s trap.

But that didn’t stop her from teaching the Zhou Family a lesson, had she not been well-prepared in advance, Lu Jingzhi and Lu Zhanxing would have long been kidnapped by the old master of the Zhou Family to be used as chips to threaten her.

Pei Ya echoed Qiao Yun’s words, “Exactly, one-time each evens out the score, and moreover, the Second Master Zhou isn’t doing this for the first time. As far as I know, he’s been using drugs for several years now, it’s just that you’ve been too muddle-headed to notice. We’re just kindly letting you see clearly sooner what kind of successor you’ve chosen. You don’t need to thank us too much.”

He wasn’t lying.

The old master of the Zhou Family, unaware of his impending doom, had reached out to the Lu Family, and naturally, Qiao Yun wouldn’t let it go so easily.

She let him investigate the people of the Zhou Family and, by the way, cause them some minor trouble, just to serve as a warning to the old master of the Zhou Family.

After receiving the assignment, Pei Ya immediately sent people to investigate.

You really don’t know until you look into it–it’s shocking what you might find.

Who would have thought that the usually gentle and polite Second Master Zhou had joined an organization that provided wealthy people with young women for pleasure and even lured them into drug use?

Second Master Zhou had threatened partners this way and had made quite a few achievements in his career, thereby being chosen by the old master of the Zhou Family as the successor.

At the beginning, Pei Ya was also surprised; he said how it was impossible for there to be a truly kind-hearted person in the Zhou Family, it turns out they were all just pretending.

So, he had people keep a close watch on Second Master Zhou until they finally caught him red-handed yesterday.

Such thrilling news is not as fun alone as it is shared, so now people all over the world know about it.

The old master Zhou, with trembling fingers pointed at Qiao Yun and, with a final fierce slap on the table and face ashen, said, “After all that has happened, do you dare do it but not own it? I know my son’s character the best; if it wasn’t for your scheming in the shadows, he wouldn’t possibly do such a thing!”

Seeing this, Pei Ya shook his head tsk-tsk and said to Qiao Yun, “See, this is the consequence of spoiling a child too much. Facts tell us that we must never coddle our children excessively.”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Are you telling me to be stricter with you in the future?”

“…”

Pei Ya, with a serious face, said, “You can pretend I didn’t say that.”

Qiao Yun coldly eyed the old master Zhou, who glared murderously at her, her expression as calm as ever, “Don’t let there be a next time, touch my family again, and I’ll touch yours.”

She was only eighteen, yet in the face of confrontation with the old master Zhou, her aura didn’t lose to his at all.

The eyes of the old master Zhou were almost bulging out of their sockets. His teeth clenched tight, the last shred of reason prevented him from impulsively ordering Qiao Yun to be captured on the spot.

He had never anticipated Qiao Yun would do such a thing, so openly threaten him, without any fear of his retaliation afterward.

“Good, very good, I underestimated you!”

“You indeed underestimated me,” Qiao Yun agreed with the old master Zhou’s assessment.

Not being worldly didn’t mean she was ignorant of the principle that one must return a blow if bullied.

This was a lesson taught by her grandfather, if someone bullies you, hit back; if you can’t beat them, play dirty behind their backs.

Her grandfather might not have been entirely respectable, but the lessons he taught her were very useful.

The old master Zhou laughed out of sheer fury.

Ever since encountering trouble from Qiao Yun last time, he had been very cautious, fearing Qiao Yun would do something. After waiting several days without any movement, he even scoffed that Professor Qiao wasn’t all that, not as terrifying as people said.

But today, Qiao Yun struck him with a fatal blow.

Had it been anyone else being targeted, he wouldn’t be so angry, but she had gone after his most valued second son!

Qiao Yun didn’t want to waste words with the old master Zhou. Having delivered the gift and seen the reaction she anticipated, she said to Pei Ya, “Let’s go.”

Pei Ya stood up and mockingly said to the old master Zhou, “Old master Zhou, I hope that the next time I visit, it won’t be to deliver a gift to you.”

The old master Zhou’s expression changed.

Pei Ya was warning him not to overestimate himself.

His hands clenched tight, he watched powerlessly as Qiao Yun and Pei Ya walked out of his house as if no one else was there, and there was nothing he could do about it.

He felt a burning rage, overwhelmed by an unprecedented sense of humiliation.

Having lived for most of his life, this was the first time he had been brought down!

Zhou Xinyu dared to speak only after everyone had left, “Grandpa, are you all right?”

“I’m fine.”

Old Master Zhou waved his hand to stop Zhou Xinyu from coming over to help him up.

“What should we do about Second Uncle?” Zhou Xinyu asked anxiously.

Old Master Zhou’s eyes were heavy as he said, “You go and find out exactly what’s going on. I believe your Second Uncle isn’t that kind of person; he must have been set up.”

“I’ll go right now.” Self-mockery flashed in Zhou Xinyu’s eyes.

When he himself was in trouble, he begged the old master for so long yet received not the slightest bit of help.

Now, with someone else, ha, what a world of difference.

…

After getting into the car.

Pei Yao couldn’t help but size up Qiao Yun.

Her small face was still emotionless, appearing as though nothing had changed.

But he knew that Professor Qiao had changed a lot, starting from the moment she began to care about her family, she had changed.

She was no longer unapproachably lofty, now there was a bit more warmth and she was a bit more approachable.

Having followed Qiao Yun for so long, Pei Yao was the person most able to sense her transformation.

He couldn’t help but mourn internally for a few seconds for the departed cold and ruthless Professor Qiao.

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Yun saw Pei Yao staring at her and looked over with a puzzled lift of her eyelids, “Is there something on my face?”

Pei Yao sighed, “Boss, you’ve changed.”

“Hmm?” Qiao Yun raised her eyebrows lightly.

Pei Yao said, “I was just staring at you, but before you would probably tell me to close my eyes with a cold face. Now you’re so gentle, it’s really hard to get used to~”

Qiao Yun: “…”

“I’m really envious of the Lu Family, you’re so good to them, even going so far as to teach the Zhou Family a lesson for them.”

Qiao Yun said, “I’m good to you guys as well.”

Pei Yao sincerely asked, “Is having to copy lines a thousand times considered good?”

Qiao Yun understood, “Do you want to be punished to copy two thousand times?”

Pei Yao shut his mouth in an instant.

Alright, he took back what he said about Professor Qiao changing, she hasn’t changed at all!

He prudently changed the subject, “Where to now?”

Qiao Yun said, “Go home.”

“As you command.” Pei Yao started the car.

Qiao Yun sat in the back seat, resting her chin on her hand, her gaze somewhat scattered as she stared at the scenery flashing by outside the window.

Had she really changed? Had she become more human?

…

The Zhou Family.

Zhou Xinyu, after inquiring about the situation, wore a very strange expression as he looked at Old Master Zhou, whose face was clouded over, and he inexplicably felt fear.

“Speak up if you have something to say! Stop hemming and hawing, what kind of behavior is that!” Old Master Zhou scolded.

In the dead of winter, Zhou Xinyu broke out in a cold sweat, his voice trembling as he said, “Grandpa, I’ve found out. People from the station told me that Second Uncle is a habitual offender, they have all the evidence. He even used the Zhou Family’s channels to traffic drugs. The police might investigate our family…”
