Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 703 - Chapter 703 Chapter 703 Qiao Yun Actually I am now with Li

Chapter 703: Chapter 703 Qiao Yun: “Actually, I am now with Li… Chapter 703: Chapter 703 Qiao Yun: “Actually, I am now with Li… Pei Ya asked in disbelief, “Boss, are you serious?”

Qiao Yun hummed affirmatively, “Really.”

Pei Ya was silent for a few seconds… he needed a moment to mentally prepare.

Ah! My pure and naive Professor Qiao, how could he think of scheming against someone?

He understood then–it must have been Li Hanzhou who led Professor Qiao astray.

They say one takes on the color of one’s company, and indeed they were right.

Pei Ya gritted his teeth, his dislike for Li Hanzhou reaching a new peak.

Gathering his composure, Pei Ya humbly sought advice, “What kind of scheming do you have in mind?”

Qiao Yun spoke concisely, “An eye for an eye.”

Pei Ya didn’t understand, what kind of ‘an eye for an eye’ strategy was this? Was it about acquiring the Qin Group?

“He made the Lu Family uneasy, so the Qin Family won’t be at peace either,” Qiao Yun squinted and continued, “Qin Yuan has been secretly starting a company.”

When Qin Yuan was brought up suddenly, Pei Ya paused, then responded, “That’s correct.”

He was the one who had discovered these matters.

The initial capital for Qin Yuan to start the company was from an unclear source, and Professor Qiao suspected it was connected to that G*M research facility involved in developing drugs, so Pei Ya had been investigating Qin Yuan.

But Qin Yuan, who appeared easy to deal with on the surface, was actually quite secretive. Moreover, information about investors in the G*M research facility had been destroyed, and to access and restore the destroyed system of G*M, they would need approval from Country M.

For various reasons, Pei Ya had not yet managed to fully expose Qin Yuan.

Qiao Yun told Pei Ya, “I don’t like Qin Yuan.”

Qin Yuan was one of the suspects nearly responsible for Shiran being injected with drugs, so Qiao Yun was indifferent towards Qin Yuan.

Pei Ya, as Qiao Yun’s most loyal follower, quickly grasped what Qiao Yun meant, his eyes lighting up.

“Boss, are you thinking of making them fight each other?”

Qiao Yun hummed affirmatively, “Qin Yuan is not loyal to Old Master Qin.”

“If Old Master Qin finds out about what Qin Yuan has been doing behind his back, he will probably be furious,” Pei Ya said excitedly, “Then there will surely be internal strife within the Qin Family.”

Once they start fighting among themselves, he would have the opportunity to acquire the Qin Group, just like Old Master Qin had planned to acquire the Lu Family.

The Qin Family had caused turmoil for the Lu Family, and Qiao Yun intended to repay the Qin Family with the same method, though it was uncertain if they could survive it.

Qiao Yun said, “You handle it.”

“No problem, leave it to me,” Pei Ya sneered.

He would make the people of the Qin Family realize whom they could provoke and whom they could not.

He truly couldn’t wait to see the expressions on the faces of the Qin Family when they realized whom they had actually provoked.

…

Qiao Yun trusted Pei Ya’s ability to handle the situation, she just had to wait for the final outcome.

Before the situation resolved, Qiao Yun chose not to inform the Lu Family that Old Master Qin was plotting against them, in case they acted rashly and affected the plan.

But actually, Qiao Yun did not want the Lu Family to know that she would plot against others.

After all, in their eyes, she was very well-behaved.

The next day.

Lu Rui, along with his wife and children, bade farewell to the elders.

The old lady was very reluctant to let go of Qiao Yun, holding her hand and saying, “Qiaoqiao, come and visit grandma more often.”

Qiao Yun clasped the old lady’s hand, “I will.”

The old lady surveyed Qiao Yun with a kind gaze, smiling, “Who would have thought, my granddaughter is so capable.”

After a night of reflection, the Lu Family had come to accept the fact that Qiao Yun was a major shareholder of the Shengqiao Group.

No matter who Qiao Yun was or how many identities she held, she would always be their zesty, exceedingly loveable youngest child.

The old master teasingly said to Lu Rui, “Qiaoqiao is so exceptional, you all better keep a close eye on her, don’t let her get snatched away by a wolf. You know how many people are eyeing the Shengqiao Group, eyeing Professor Qiao.”

Lu Rui raised an eyebrow, “Dad, don’t worry about that. With me around, let’s see who dares to snatch away my daughter.”

Jingzhi, Zhanxing, and Shiran: “…”

Dad / Uncle, maybe you could think about it again before speaking.

“Exactly.” Su Mian was not pleased that Qiao Yun was dating now. Although Qiao Yun wasn’t technically a high school student, she had only been back for less than a year. Su Mian wanted to cherish a few more years with her daughter.

Suddenly remembering something, Qiao Yun blurted out, “Actually, I am now with Li… ”

“Sister!” Lu Zhanxing shouted at the top of his lungs.

“Dad, we should go!” Lu Jingzhi grabbed Lu Rui’s arm.

“Grandpa, look, there’s a plane!” Lu Shiran pointed to the sky.

The old man was startled by their antics and grumbled, “What are you doing, yelling so loudly one after another.”

Qiao Yun looked at them with a pair of innocent, clear eyes.

The three brothers, secretly suffering, twitched the corners of their mouths in unison.

Lu Zhanxing cleared his throat, “Well, it’s getting late, we should be going.”

After that, he took the lead and unceremoniously pulled Qiao Yun away by her wrist.

Lu Jingzhi followed closely behind.

Lu Shiran’s heart was thumping loudly as he said to the old man, “Grandpa, let’s go inside.”

“What exactly are you three up to?” the grandfather asked suspiciously. “Are you keeping secrets from me?”

“Absolutely not!” Lu Shiran almost swore to heaven.

The old man looked into Lu Shiran’s sincere eyes, didn’t say whether he believed him or not, but huffed and went inside.

Lu Rui and Su Mian exchanged looks, seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

Are these kids acting weird?

…

Lu Zhanxing pulled Qiao Yun all the way out of the old mansion’s gate, and after making sure the parents hadn’t arrived yet, he asked in a low voice.

“Sister, what were you about to tell mom and dad?”

Telling the truth, Qiao Yun said, “I am dating Zhouzhou.”

Lu Zhanxing’s expression turned to ‘I knew it’. Without thinking, he said, “No, you can’t say it yet.”

Qiao Yun looked confused, seemingly not understanding why Lu Zhanxing was opposed.

Realizing he had been too agitated, Lu Zhanxing quickly explained, “Brother definitely doesn’t want to interfere with your life’s decisions, but I think there’s no need to tell mom and dad so soon. Look, how long have you two been together? Isn’t this too soon?”

Qiao Yun argued, “It’s not too soon. Zhouzhou’s parents already know.”

Unable to hold back, Lu Jingzhi interjected, “When did they find out?”

“They knew the first day.”

Lu Jingzhi chuckled, “That early.”

Lu Zhanxing was furious.

Good job, Li Hanzhou, acting so fast.

“Hmph, at least he was sensible enough not to keep you in the dark,” he remarked.

“Mmm-hmm.” Qiao Yun agreed with this statement, “So I also want to give him a status.”

Lu Zhanxing puckered his lips, wasn’t that statement backwards?

“Previously the family was busy, now it’s not.” Qiao Yun had not told them at first because she was concerned about the many issues in the Lu Family; now that those were largely resolved, she believed it was time to speak up.

Lu Zhanxing spoke assertively, “Busy, how are we not busy? Extremely busy, too busy indeed. We just want to keep you from worrying, actually, mom and dad are busy as hell. You see, the company has just stabilized, it will be busy for a month and a half at least.”

He spoke firmly, “So it’s not suitable to talk about it now.”

Qiao Yun was baffled and hesitated, “Is it that busy?”

“Yes.” Both brothers said in unison.

Qiao Yun sighed, “Alright then, let’s not talk about it now, we can discuss it after you’re less busy.”

Lu Zhanxing breathed a sigh of relief.

Do the family members know there’s any difference between Qiao Yun dating Li Hanzhou and meeting the parents?

Wouldn’t Li Hanzhou eventually be fully integrated into the family?

“Thinking of breaking them up isn’t just a dream now?”

Although Lu Zhanxing didn’t really want to split them up, he felt like adding troubles to Li Hanzhou.

He didn’t want to let Li Hanzhou off the hook so easily, so he thought he could keep Li Hanzhou waiting.

Lu Zhanxing inexplicably felt a sort of gloomy distress as if it was going to rain on the day his sister was getting married.

Seeing that his parents had come out, Lu Zhanxing didn’t bring up the subject again.

Qiao Yun was convinced by Lu Zhanxing’s reasoning and didn’t mention Li Hanzhou anymore.

However, once she got in the car, she took out her phone and sent Li Hanzhou a message.

“I will give you a proper status soon, can you wait a bit?”

Li Hanzhou looked at this message, which was somewhat in the tone of a playgirl, and fell into deep thought.

Were he and Qiao Yun really dating, or was he actually being kept by Qiao Yun?

With slender fingers tapping on the phone’s screen, after a moment, Li Hanzhou’s lips curled into a smirk and a teasing glint shone in his eyes.

His fingertips tapped on the keyboard.

“I don’t care about status, I only care about you.”

Qiao Yun didn’t realize that Li Hanzhou was flirting with her.

Relieved, she replied, “Oh, you don’t care? Then I won’t rush.”

A ding sounded as a new message arrived.

Li Hanzhou smiled, his lips curving in enjoyment as he opened his phone.

Then, the next second.

Li Hanzhou glared with his peach blossom eyes, almost as if willing the phone to bore a hole through it.

Was it still possible to take back what he had just said?

Lady Li came down from upstairs and glanced at Li Hanzhou, curiously commenting, “Early in the morning and your face looks so dark?”

Li Hanzhou rested his chin on his palm and chuckled without responding.

Dating Professor Qiao required an exceptionally strong heart.

Just as he was thinking this, his phone rang again.

Li Hanzhou looked down.

On the phone’s screen, suddenly two little figures popped up.

A man and a woman, with one stretching out their left hand and the other their right. The two figures came close together and flashed a heart at him.

Li Hanzhou was stunned momentarily, then couldn’t help but let out a soft chuckle, his eyes and eyebrows filled with a dazzling smile.

Lady Li dramatically covered her eyes, “Oh my, don’t laugh, you’re about to steal my soul away.”

Li Hanzhou thought to himself, the little white rabbit was too naive. Did she not realize that her gesture could make him want to turn into a big bad wolf?

Li Hanzhou had thought that after he got together with Qiao Yun, he would be the one pampering and doting on Qiao Yun, but he realized that every time he tried to do so, it ended up being Qiao Yun who wanted to pamper him.

Although he didn’t understand where Qiao Yun learned all these boyfriend-like behaviors, he didn’t point it out and actually quite enjoyed it.

Recalling the tone Li Miao and Qiao Yun occasionally used when chatting, Li Hanzhou satisfactorily sent Qiao Yun a reply: mua!(*+3+).

Seeing Li Hanzhou continuously smiling at his phone, Lady Li couldn’t resist sneaking a peek, her eyes twitching as she commented.

“Son, don’t you think you’re being a bit pretentious?”

Li Hanzhou replied unflinchingly, “This is called being romantic.”

Lady Li: “Don’t flatter yourself, you’re still just a guinea pig.”

…

Qiao Yun felt she had let Li Hanzhou down, not treating him as an equal.

The guide said if your lover feels aggrieved, you should coax them.

But how to coax?

Give money, give bags, give luxury goods, give flowers?

But Li Hanzhou lacked none of these.

Yes, sweet nothings between lovers can enhance a relationship.

But she didn’t know how to whisper sweet nothings; she only knew how to lecture people.

So Qiao Yun hastily created a mini-program and sent Li Hanzhou a heart.

It is said that sending a heart is a way to express affection.

She liked Li Hanzhou, so she sent him a heart to make him happy.

Lu Zhanxing sneakily looked at Qiao Yun and saw her constantly staring at her phone. He intuitively guessed, “Sister, are you chatting with Li Hanzhou?”

Qiao Yun was looking at Li Hanzhou’s reply. Hearing Lu Zhanxing’s question, she looked up, her eyes shining, “He feels wronged, I need to comfort him.”

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

Ah, where is his thirty-six-meter long sword?

…

Pei Ya acted quickly.

While Qiao Yun was on her way back to the Lu Family, a document appeared on Old Master Qin’s desk.

This document had suddenly appeared in Old Master Qin’s driver’s car today.

It also contained a message.

It suggested the document was related to the Qin Family.

Not daring to be careless, the driver hastily delivered it to Old Master Qin.

Initially, Old Master Qin didn’t take it seriously, but his entire face fell when he saw the investigation results in the file.

The fingers holding the file whitened from the force of his grip.

Anger surged in him, causing his blood pressure to soar and his breathing to quicken.

Xiaozhang was greatly alarmed and quickly took out a bottle of heart medication to give to Old Master Qin.

After taking the medicine and drinking some water, Old Master Qin felt a bit more comfortable.

However, when he thought about what the document had revealed.

Qin Yuan was establishing his own company behind his back and using his position in the Qin Group to continuously benefit his own company.

Old Master Qin’s head buzzed, and he furiously threw the document onto the ground, “Good, good, good, I never thought I raised an ingrate all these years! I must have been blind!”

His expression was gloomy.

Now he knew Qin Yuan was duplicitous, showing one face while acting another behind his back.

Old Master Qin’s suspicions about Qin Yuan’s ties to G*M research facility and possibly his plans to inject Shiran with drugs grew heavier.

Seeing the old master this angry, Xiaozhang hurriedly picked up the documents from the ground and glanced at them, then gasped, “Master, the young master wouldn’t do this.”

“Huh…” Old Master Qin clenched his teeth, “Before this document appeared, I also thought he was utterly loyal to me.”

“Maybe someone is trying to drive a wedge between us.”

Old Master Qin calmed down a bit and thought it made sense, so he ordered his subordinates to check if Qin Yuan was indeed the hidden founder of these companies.

With the help of this document and Pei Ya’s behind-the-scenes manipulations, the investigation proceeded very quickly.

Within a day, the results were laid in front of Old Master Qin.

Old Master Qin had to believe that Qin Yuan had always been ambitious towards the Qin Family!

Old Master Qin’s face was stern, “He should think about who raised him and dare to scheme in front of me! Bring Qin Yuan to me.”

He wanted to confront Qin Yuan face to face and clarify everything!

However, given that Qin Yuan dared to do such a thing, Old Master Qin naturally couldn’t easily forgive him.

Old Master Qin, recalling Qin Yuan’s various performances in front of him, suddenly felt uneasy.

He said, “Come back.”

Xiaozhang stopped in his tracks, “Master, is there anything else you need?”

Old Master Qin pondered for a good while, revisiting recent events in his mind, his eyes flashing with a spark of insight.

“Call the lawyer, tell him I want to write a will.”
