Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 680 - Chapter 680 Chapter 680 Indeed It Was Done By Me

Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Indeed, It Was Done By Me Chapter 680: Chapter 680: Indeed, It Was Done By Me Qin Xuan’s lips trembled slightly, as if she were smiling, yet the smile carried a hint of mockery.

Qin Xuan, preoccupied with proving her innocence, was unaware that her conversation with Lady Qin had been recorded by surveillance.

Seeing her mother willing to investigate, Qin Xuan reluctantly pushed the matter aside for the moment and asked, “Mom, when can I get out of here?”

“Well…” Lady Qin hesitated, gently patting Qin Xuan’s hand back, “Don’t be anxious, Mom is still figuring out a way.”

Qin Xuan frowned, “How many days has it been? What did Grandpa say?”

Lady Qin’s face, still bearing traces of her former charm, twisted slightly. “Your grandfather is completely focused on that bastard, completely forgetting he has a granddaughter suffering here.”

Lady Qin didn’t want to dishearten Qin Xuan and didn’t tell her that the old Mr. Qin had already given up on her.

After all, she was just a granddaughter; giving up on her wouldn’t cause him any loss.

Qin Xuan closed her eyes and said nothing.

Lady Qin comforted her, “Even if your grandfather doesn’t care about you, you still have me to look after you.”

Qin Xuan emphasized repeatedly, “Mom, you have to figure this out.”

“Don’t worry,” Lady Qin assured her daughter not to worry.

However, Qin Xuan thought to herself, don’t push her too hard, or, with or without evidence, she would expose Qin Yuan.

By then, even if the police had no evidence, Qin Yuan would still have to undergo an investigation.

…

Lady Qin trusted Qin Yuan very much, and although she promised Qin Xuan to investigate, she didn’t know where to start.

Having relied on her father for the first half of her life and her son for the second, she was at a loss in this situation.

So after returning home, she went directly to ask Qin Yuan, but didn’t know how to phrase her questions.

“Mom, what’s going on?” Qin Yuan asked in confusion, “Is there something you want to talk about?”

Lady Qin sighed, “I went to see your sister today.”

Qin Yuan raised an eyebrow. “Oh? How is she? Is she still stable?”

“She’s suffered quite a bit. You know your sister has never faced hardship since she was a child; she must be finding it hard to adapt now.” She said with a bitter smile, “She also told me that you framed her for injecting Lu Shiran with drugs.”

Qin Yuan asked with a half-smile, “Mom, do you believe what she said?”

“Of course not.” Lady Qin’s stance was firm, “Your sister must be panicked to talk nonsense like that. You are her own brother; how could you possibly do such a thing?”

Qin Yuan tapped his fingers on the tabletop leisurely, “If you really didn’t believe your sister, you wouldn’t be asking me now.”

Lady Qin paused, helplessly saying, “I’ve already promised your sister that I would investigate.”

Qin Yuan nodded nonchalantly, “She’s not foolish; indeed, I did it.”

Lady Qin’s expression froze, as if struck by lightning, she exclaimed, “How is that possible? She’s your sister.”

“In the Qin family, there’s no need for kinship,” Qin Yuan said coldly, without a trace of guilt, smiling, “Mom, isn’t that what you taught me since I was young? Have you forgotten?”

Lady Qin’s gaze fell on Qin Yuan, she spoke stiffly, “But that’s not the same, you and Xuanxuan are siblings… ”

“Even siblings can turn into enemies,” Qin Yuan interjected.

“But…” Lady Qin was so shocked she couldn’t speak.

Qin Yuan’s gaze fixed on Lady Qin, “Now that you know the truth, are you going to tell Grandfather?”

Lady Qin didn’t speak, but her hesitance was clearly visible to Qin Yuan. He smirked, “Mom, I only did what you wanted to do. I didn’t expect the Lu Family to catch sister so quickly.”

“How could you exploit your own sister?” Lady Qin indeed wanted to eliminate Lu Shiran, but she had never intended for Lu Shiran’s life to be taken.

Qin Yuan’s actions filled her heart with an inexplicable fear.

This son, without her knowledge, had seemingly become increasingly uncontrollable.

Qin Yuan said nonchalantly, “As long as it achieves the goal, why can’t I use my own little sister? Mom, now that you know the truth, you can directly tell Grandpa about my involvement in harming his grandson. The crimes of my sister will be less one count of drug charges, so she won’t be sentenced for long. But…”

Qin Yuan stared at his mother and said slowly, “You will lose a son, lose the entire Qin Family, and eventually, the Qin Family will fall into the hands of Lu Shiran.”

Mrs. Qin’s complexion turned pale, her eyes filled with anxiety.

No.

It’s not possible.

The Qin Family belonged to Qin Yuan, belonged to her, and couldn’t be stolen by some outsider born out of nowhere!

But Qin Xuan was her own daughter.

Mrs. Qin felt as if she was being torn in two, making it difficult for her to make a decision.

After a long silence, as if she had finally made up her mind, Mrs. Qin said resolutely, “I understand, I will pretend I have never heard these words, nor have I ever seen your sister.”

Qin Yuan leaned back in his chair and smiled, saying, “Thank you, Mom.”

Mrs. Qin’s mouth twitched stiffly; she had given up her daughter to choose her son, causing her great inner pain.

She didn’t want to do this, but if she didn’t, all her efforts would have been in vain.

Qin Yuan was honest with Mrs. Qin because he was worried she might secretly investigate and attract Grandfather Qin’s attention, causing unnecessary trouble for him.

Frankly, he was a bit surprised that Qin Xuan had guessed it was him, but it didn’t matter. Even if she guessed, without evidence to prove it, no one could do anything against him.

He would slowly bide his time, until an appropriate opportunity arose, to eliminate everyone standing in his way.

After making her choice, Mrs. Qin did not go to see Qin Xuan again.

Qin Xuan was still unaware that her mother had abandoned her, eagerly waiting for her mother to find evidence to prove her innocence.

…

Meanwhile,

Shortly after Mrs. Qin left the police station, Pei Ya got the news.

He had initially planned to call Qiao Yun and tell her about this, but after some thought, Pei Ya decided to go find Qiao Yun in person.

Not for any other reason, but to confront Li Hanzhou, and if the situation allowed, they might even have a fight.

Snatching away Professor Qiao and giving him a beating wouldn’t be too excessive, right?

Pei Ya’s face showed a sly smile; he was being rather mild. If it were the kids at home, they would be much harsher.

Regrettably, despite lingering sneakily at the school gate for a long time, Pei Ya did not spot Li Hanzhou.

As soon as Qiao Yun stepped out of the school gate, she quickly spotted Pei Ya’s car. She paused, then turned to walk towards Pei Ya’s car door.

Pei Ya was intently looking for Li Hanzhou when Qiao Yun’s face suddenly appeared in front of him, giving him a start and making him feel inexplicably nervous.

Qiao Yun asked, “Are you looking for me?”

Pei Ya responded seriously, “Boss, I have something to tell you. Let’s talk in the car.”

He was adamant not to admit that his main goal was to catch someone cheating.

Qiao Yun nodded, opened the car door, and got in.

As Pei Ya started the car, he began discussing serious matters with Qiao Yun, “Boss, you were spot-on; someone indeed went looking for Qin Xuan.”

“Oh?” Qiao Yun showed some interest.

Pei Ya said, “Qin Xuan met with Mrs. Qin today and even mentioned Qin Yuan.”
