Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 658 - Chapter 658 Chapter 658 Qiao Yun We can completely suppress

Chapter 658: Chapter 658 Qiao Yun: We can completely suppress her now, great Chapter 658: Chapter 658 Qiao Yun: We can completely suppress her now, great Miss Lu from the Lu Family was indeed intriguing, capable of capturing the attention of both Pei Ya and Li Hanzhou so earnestly.

Old Master Qin had indeed thought before that, unless necessary, he would not let his family provoke Qiao Yun, to avoid conflict with Pei Li.

But Old Master Qin believed if he really did anything against the Lu Family, the two, Pei Li, would not likely interfere.

Could they truly, for one woman, completely sever ties with the Qin Family?

That would bring no benefit to them and could even result in loss of both people and wealth.

Mrs. Qin was displeased, and Qin Xuan was bullied by Qiao Yun, yet instead of helping, her father scolded Qin Xuan.

Now that it involved his own grandson, his attitude was different.

Ha… direct bloodline really is treated differently.

Mrs. Qin harbored resentment inside, but expressed worry on her face, “I’m just afraid that Shiran will be bewitched by the Lu Family. They dislike us so much, they will surely sow discord.”

This was also what Old Master Qin worried about, yet Shiran still trusted the Lu Family people so much.

He had merely revealed that Shiran was of Qin bloodline publicly, and Shiran immediately called to question him.

Was it out of concern for the Lu Family’s thoughts?

As Old Master Qin thought of this, his appetite was ruined, he put down his chopsticks and left a phrase, “You all eat.”

Then he went upstairs, filled with worries.

He would announce to the public that Lu Shiran was his own grandson, harboring the intention to test Shiran, and also to show Shiran the power of the Qin Family.

To make him understand, the benefits the Qin Family could offer him would be greater than those of the Lu Family.

Yet, he hadn’t expected that Shiran would not be swayed by fame and wealth.

While Old Master Qin was annoyed, he also proudly thought to himself, worthy of being a Qin, his character really was different.

The better Shiran performed, the more he wanted to bring him back.

However, he still needed to think about how to do it, to avoid failing to acknowledge him as his kin and instead making an enemy.

He had to make Shiran want to come back willingly.

Old Master Qin already had a plan in mind, and even instructed his people to arrange it.

He just didn’t want to push things too far until the last moment.

Mrs. Qin clutched her chopsticks, her still-charming face full of envy, pouring out her grievances to Qin Xuan.

“Your grandfather never cared about your brother like this. The last time, just because a collaboration with the Tianqi Research Institute was not reached, he lost his temper and even considered taking back your brother’s rights. Look at this time, the extent of face Shiran has cost him, yet he remains indifferent.”

“Exactly,” Qin Xuan snorted with laughter, “Mom, do you still think what I did was wrong? He prioritizes him so much before he even returns; once he does, we will lose our status, and brother’s years of efforts will be in vain.”

Mrs. Qin patted her hand affectionately, “Good child, you are considerate.”

“Mom, you have to cover for me with grandfather, he’s so ruthless towards us. If things get exposed, he definitely won’t let me off,” Qin Xuan thought simply.

She pulled her mother into an alliance, so in case of trouble later, having her mother as a shield meant that even if the grandfather was angry, he wouldn’t be harsh on her.

Mrs. Qin nodded, reassuring Qin Xuan.

She now thought that Qin Xuan’s idea of ruining Shiran was simply brilliant.

“You can’t be so reckless next time, make sure to consult me about everything.”

Qin Xuan nonchalantly acknowledged.

Now armed with her mother’s assurance, she felt less intimidated by her grandfather.

Qin Xuan puzzledly said, “Mom, do you really want to watch grandfather bring him home? Grandfather values him so much, if he really returns, my brother will lose his status.”

“So what if he comes back? What if he accidentally dies while walking, chokes on water, or gets in a car accident? Would they blame me?”

With many more years of experience, Mrs. Qin naturally saw things more deeply than Qin Xuan.

Her smile tenderly continued, “After all, I am an aunt who loves her nephew very much.”

Thinking of dividing the Qin Family’s wealth, she was the first one to disagree.

Qin Xuan shivered; she used to think her mother was just a women who aimed to please her grandfather, but she didn’t think that way anymore.

Was this being driven to desperation, capable of anything?

Despite her surname being Qin, she couldn’t help but inwardly criticize.

The Qin family truly does not have a single good person.

When ruthless, they can even harm their own family members.

“The Qin family will only belong to your brother,” Madame Qin said calmly, “but now that Lu Shiran doesn’t want to come back, he has saved me a lot of trouble. It’s for the best if he keeps thinking this way.”

Qin Xuan was indifferent about Lu Shiran’s matters, as she was more concerned about Qiao Yun’s issues, so she simply nodded in agreement.

Madame Qin instructed, “During this period, be careful yourself, don’t give anything away.”

“I know, it’s just putting on an act in front of grandpa, isn’t it?”

Madame Qin, as if recalling something important, sternly reminded her, “Don’t forget the matchmaking party tomorrow, you must attend obediently. There will be many talented young men there, and although they’re not Li Hanzhou, they are still worthy of you.”

At the mention of this, Qin Xuan’s smile stiffened on her face.

To curry favor with the Li family, her grandfather was cruel enough to marry her off to just anyone!

This had become a thorn in Qin Xuan’s heart.

But she relied on the Qin family for her livelihood, and although she was unwilling, she dared not rebel.

…

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Li Hanzhou was driving Qiao Yun home. He turned his head to look at Qiao Yun, whose fair little face was tense, and asked leisurely, “Did the investigation yield results?”

Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids to look at him and gently nodded, “Yes.”

Interested, Li Hanzhou asked, “Who was it?”

“Qin Xuan.”

Li Hanzhou paused, finally understanding why Qiao Yun’s gaze had been so strange earlier.

He half-smiled, “It seems the lesson given wasn’t enough.”

Qiao Yun glanced at him sideways. Seeing his usual expression, she felt inexplicably pleased.

It seems he quite despised Qin Xuan.

Considering they both disliked the same person,

she might as well continue being good friends with Li Hanzhou.

Thinking this, Qiao Yun looked hesitant.

She silently questioned herself, did she really only want to be friends with Li Hanzhou?

The answer, she didn’t know.

“You don’t look very happy?”

Li Hanzhou stared intently at Qiao Yun, his deep eyes twinkling with laughter, “Any troubling matter you want to talk about?”

Qiao Yun thought for a moment before saying, “Can Qin Xuan get her hands on drugs?”

Li Hanzhou understood instantly, “You’re suspecting that it’s not just Qin Xuan who wants to harm Lu Shiran?”

“Yes,” Qiao Yun nodded.

Li Hanzhou had told her about the source of the drugs, so she felt Qin Xuan wouldn’t have access to them.

Yet the commands had come from the same account.

Li Hanzhou’s eyebrows twitched, “If it’s not just Qin Xuan acting alone, then she has accomplices or someone is using her to achieve their own ends.”

Qiao Yun had an epiphany, “That makes sense.”

Her eyes bright, she said to Li Hanzhou, “You’re really smart.”

Li Hanzhou’s gaze fell into her shining black eyes, his expression slightly darkened as he smiled and said, “I’m not smart, I’ve just seen a lot.”

Qiao Yun was highly intelligent but hadn’t experienced much of these dirty dealings and couldn’t fully understand at first.

Li Hanzhou, having grown up amidst his family’s internal struggles, naturally understood better than Qiao Yun.

He didn’t really want to show Qiao Yun the depth of his cunning.

With a smile tugging at his lips, Li Hanzhou asked, “Do you need me to help you investigate? After all, I was the one who took down that underground lab, I can investigate more easily than you.”

Qiao Yun looked up at him, blinked, and didn’t immediately answer.

After Li Nanfeng’s incident, she was unwilling to trouble Li Hanzhou.

After making eye contact with Li Hanzhou for a moment, Qiao Yun eventually nodded, “Okay.”

Li Hanzhou told her, “Even if I weren’t interested in pursuing you, we are still good friends, and helping you is the right thing to do.”

“Oh.”

“You can come to me with anything.”

Qiao Yun thought for a moment with a solemn expression and said softly, “I’ll think about it.”

…

Qiao Yun got home and took the opportunity with her family around to tell them about Qin Xuan’s situation.

This matter involved Lu Shiran and the entire family; they had the right to know.

“Your grandfather and I were guessing it might be someone from the Qin Family, but we thought it was either Mrs. Qin or Qin Yuan. We never expected it to be Qin Xuan.”

Lu Rui, with a stern and cold expression, said, “It seems not all members of the Qin Family are happy that Shiran is Mr. Qin’s grandson. We don’t even know if Mr. Qin is aware of this.”

The Qin Family really isn’t shy about making themselves disliked.

They are practically giving us reasons to hate them.

“Whether he knows or not, this is a case of intentional harm and drug possession.”

Lu Jingzhi took out his phone, “I’m going to contact the police now and have them arrest the culprit.”

Lu Rui also felt that now they knew who the true perpetrator was, they should hand it directly over to the police.

Lu Zhanxing raised an eyebrow, his tone meaningful, “Really call the police? That doesn’t seem good.”

Lu Jingzhi answered self-assuredly, “She is breaking the law now; we definitely need to call the police.”

Lu Rui asked suspiciously, “Little brother, don’t tell me you fell in love with her at first sight when you met her yesterday?”

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun squinted her eyes to look at Lu Zhanxing.

She was already planning to take Lu Zhanxing for some moral education.

Lu Zhanxing groaned, rolling his eyes dramatically, “Please, no. With her venomous heart, I’m not fortunate enough to endure. I just think that this is letting her off too easily.”

Lu Jingzhi asked, “What do you suggest we do then?”

Lu Zhanxing’s lips lifted into a sly smile, “It’s a civilized age now, of course, we need to solve this in an uncivilized manner.”

He turned to ask Qiao Yun, “Sister, what do you think?”

Qiao Yun nodded without hesitation, “Uncivilized, very good.”

Although every time Qin Xuan caused trouble for her, she immediately taught her a lesson in return.

But still, she found Qin Xuan annoying, and Qiao Yun didn’t like to be bothered by anyone.

Only this time, it was different. Qin Xuan had broken the law.

She could be thoroughly dealt with once and for all, which felt great.

Lu Rui, seeing a hint of excitement in Qiao Yun’s eyes, couldn’t help but twitch the corners of his mouth.

His daughter seemed a bit more lively than before.

That was a good thing, indeed.

Since it was a good thing, he decided not to interfere, so Lu Rui said, “Do whatever you want to do; the Lu Family will support you if anything happens.”

Lu Jingzhi kindly reminded, “Dad, you forgot, if the Lu Family confronts the Qin Family, it’s still tough.”

Lu Rui: “…”

Qiao Yun generously stated, “Don’t worry, I’ll support you all if anything happens.”

Lu Jingzhi: “…”

Lu Rui: “…”

Lu Zhanxing: Wow, why do I suddenly feel like my sister has a bit of a Long Aotian vibe?

Qiao Yun stated frankly, “The Qin Family can’t compare to me.”

Lu Rui really wanted to remind his daughter, “Although you are Professor Qiao and very rich with a plethora of scientific research products,

the Qin Family is a huge financial conglomerate, and fighting against them does carry some risk.”

He guessed that only Shengqiao Group and Li Group could really crush the Qin Family.

Seeing his daughter so confidently, Lu Rui decided not to shake her confidence anymore.

After all, with him around, he could hold up the sky if it fell.

Lu Zhanxing cleared his throat, “Alright, let’s talk business. I remember tomorrow the Qin Family is hosting a party for Qin Xuan, right?”

Jingzhi confirmed, “That’s right.”

Lu Zhanxing clapped his hands, excited, “Big brother, let’s also attend.”

Jingzhi, speechless, “Don’t you know that it’s a matchmaking party?”

“I know,” Lu Zhanxing, with his handsome and mischievous face, revealed an innocent smile, “With two outstanding youths like us, how could we not qualify to attend?”

Jingzhi: “…” He really wanted to smash his little brother’s head.

Qiao Yun thought for a moment and agreed, “You are qualified.”

Jingzhi, unable to hide his amusement, “Sister, why are you also joining in the fun?”

“This isn’t just joining in the fun, okay?”

Lu Zhanxing’s smile faded, and he became somewhat menacing.

“If the Qin Family can publicly declare Shiran as their kin, why can’t we publicly expose the Qin Family’s wickedness to everyone?”

Jingzhi and Lu Rui immediately understood Lu Zhanxing’s intention.

He wanted to stomp on the Qin Family’s face, in front of a crowd of prestigious young masters and sons of high officials.

Jingzhi’s eyes darkened, “They indeed deserve some lessons.”

Lu Zhanxing looked surprised, “Big brother, I thought you wouldn’t agree with such a willful approach.”

What his big brother cared most about was the family’s reputation and interests.

What he was doing now clearly put the Lu Family on the opposite side of the Qin Family.

Jingzhi chuckled, “Shiran is my brother, and as the big brother, I obviously can’t just watch him being bullied and do nothing.”

He definitely didn’t want to turn Lu Shiran as indifferent toward him as his sister was.

Lu Rui, although also thinking this approach was good and satisfying, couldn’t help but interject, “Don’t forget, you don’t have an invitation.”

Qin Xuan despised Qiao Yun and naturally wouldn’t send her brothers an invitation.

Although she indeed once thought that marrying Qiao Yun’s brother would allow her to slap Qiao Yun hard.

“Uh…” This stumped Lu Zhanxing.

Qiao Yun quietly raised her hand, “Invitation, easy.”

“Hmm?”

The three of them looked at Qiao Yun.

They saw Qiao Yun take out her phone and make a call.

Several minutes later.

The doorbell of the Lu Family rang.

Zhou You respectfully handed over three invitations to Qiao Yun’s face.

Qiao Yun took the invitations and said to them, “Now we have them.”

Lu Family three: Having an omnipotent daughter/sister is indeed a sweet burden.

Lu Zhanxing picked up his shattered pride, took the invitations, and flicked one with his finger, “Now everything’s ready, tomorrow will be quite a show. Bullying my brother, hehe…”

Qiao Yun mimicked, “Hehe…”

Lu Rui: “…”

Daughter, aren’t you a bit off?

Even sarcasm has been learned!
