Chapter 720 - Chapter 720 Chapter 720 Is Her Brother Someone Anyone Can

Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Is Her Brother Someone Anyone Can Stare At? Chapter 720: Chapter 720: Is Her Brother Someone Anyone Can Stare At? “Uncle, what’s wrong with you?”

Lady Qin felt that her uncle definitely had some serious illness.

Had his research driven him mad? Otherwise, why would he be so anxious and fearful towards a young girl?

Had he really fallen in love at first sight?

Uncle ignored Lady Qin, realizing that his demeanor had indeed been too agitated and could easily lead to misunderstandings.

He coughed lightly, pretending to be composed, “I’m quite free, I can wait as long as necessary.”

He looked at Qin Yuan, speaking in a reproachful tone, “Since your grandfather has specified that your cousin must be present, what’s the harm in waiting a bit longer? Or are you so eager to know about the will because you have ulterior motives?”

Qin Yuan’s complexion changed slightly at Uncle’s words, “Uncle, you’re being too harsh.”

He speculated in his heart what Uncle meant–could it be that he was under suspicion?

Uncle didn’t care about what he was thinking and made a decisive call, “I’ve decided we will wait until he arrives.”

Lady Qin couldn’t figure her uncle out.

The person who was impatient just now is you, yet now you’re the one who wants to wait.

Even the weather forecast isn’t as fickle as you are.

Of course, she dared not say this, but her face showed her dilemma, “Uncle, if he never arrives, we can’t keep waiting forever, can we? I don’t mind, but you are older; can you endure it?”

“Let’s just wait,” Uncle said nonchalantly, his gaze discreetly shifting towards Qiao Yun.

If it wasn’t inappropriate now, he really wanted to ask Professor Qiao.

Are you satisfied with this arrangement?

Can you forgive my earlier rudeness?

Uncle’s drastic change in attitude made Lady Qin very uncomfortable, she clenched her teeth, suppressing herself from saying anything harsh, and merely hummed lightly.

It seemed she wanted to express her disdain.

Qin Yuan watched Uncle’s behavior closely, feeling astonished.

Uncle was indeed behaving oddly!

His oddness had started from the moment Qiao Yun appeared…

Qin Yuan narrowed his dark eyes, looking towards Qiao Yun, seemingly trying to discern something.

Qiao Yun’s expression was indifferent, revealing nothing of her thoughts.

It was her bodyguard, who upon seeing him look over, glared fiercely back.

The intensity of the stare made Qin Yuan frown.

He averted his gaze, feeling inexplicably irritated.

In such a situation, she could remain so composed, perhaps Qiao Yun was more complex than he had thought.

In reality, Qiao Yun was just bored from waiting, so she had simply zoned out.

The atmosphere grew very tense, and nobody spoke.

Suddenly, Qiao Yun’s phone in her pocket buzzed once.

She slowly came back to her senses, took the phone out of her pocket, and glanced at it.

Then she looked up, her voice devoid of emotion, “He’s here.”

Qin Yuan was still puzzled by what Qiao Yun meant when the door opened, and then a bright voice rang out.

“I’m not late, am I?”

At the sound of this all too familiar voice, Qin Yuan seemed to freeze.

He looked in the direction of the voice with a slight shock.

The next second, his pupils suddenly constricted as he looked at the person who should not have been there!

Lu Shiran!?

How was he still alive?

Even though Qin Yuan was usually calm and composed, he couldn’t help but stand up, scrutinizing Lu Shiran without missing a beat.

However, the outcome was very disappointing.

Lu Shiran had not a single scratch on him.

What on earth was going on?

Suddenly, Qin Yuan stared at Lu Shiran with a menacing gaze, making his hair stand on end.

“What’s going on? Staring at him like that, it’s quite frightening.”

Qiao Yun glanced at Qin Yuan indifferently, her voice as placid as her demeanor, yet her words made Qin Yuan’s eyelids twitch uncontrollably.

“You seem very surprised, why?”

Qin Yuan clenched his fists and regained his composure, saying calmly, “I thought my cousin wouldn’t come after all, so his sudden appearance naturally surprised me.”

“Oh.”

Qiao Yun did not say whether she believed him or not, but just like Qin Yuan had stared at Lu Shiran, she too stared at him with those distinctly clear eyes, giving off a somewhat cold air.

This action seemed like she was avenging Lu Shiran.

Her brother, who could be stared at by just anyone?

Qin Yuan felt an inexplicable pressure under Qiao Yun’s gaze.

His expression slightly changed, and he sat down again, but this time his face turned grim.

Where did the error occur?

He had received word that everything had already been taken care of, so why was there still a mistake?

Regardless of what was going on, he had to calm down and think of the next strategy.

Since Qin Yuan returned to the Qin Family at eight, he had been planning to bring them down eventually.

This time he definitely would not let a plan twenty years in the making be ruined by the sudden appearance of Lu Shiran.

The Second Uncle could sense something was amiss with Qin Yuan, but he didn’t interfere, grinning brightly at Lu Shiran, “What are you standing there for? Come over to your Second Uncle, let him have a good look at you.”

Lu Shiran was to address him as Second Uncle, and since Professor Qiao is Lu Shiran’s sister, that rounded up to him and Professor Qiao being relatives!

This was an incredible stroke of luck, a chance to get in good with someone important, and he had to seize it.

Miss this chance, miss out for good.

Lady Qin was unaware of what Qin Yuan had done to Lu Shiran, so she was not particularly surprised by his appearance; she just assumed that Lu Shiran was genuinely uninterested in the Qin family.

But now that he suddenly showed up, she was annoyed.

Her suspicions had turned out to be true.

Lu Shiran was a duplicitous person; seemingly uninterested on the surface, but internally desperate for it.

As soon as he knew about the will, he immediately showed up.

The more she thought about it, the more uncomfortable she felt, and just as she was about to scold Lu Shiran a few words, the attitude of the Second Uncle became strange.

Her mouth twitched, her throat choked up, and all her words were blocked.

Lu Shiran just felt that this man who claimed to be his Second Uncle was odd.

His look seemed like he wanted to devour him; clearly a two-faced man, trying to lull him with a kind demeanor to stab him in the back.

Heh, indeed none in the Qin Family were good.

Second Uncle: Wrongly accused.

Lu Shiran ignored the eagerly waving Second Uncle and walked straight over to Qiao Yun.

All members of the Qin Family watched him, all seemingly deep in thought.

Lu Shiran was naturally fearless and completely failed to notice the extremely tense atmosphere.

He sat down next to Qiao Yun and said cheerfully, “Sister, have you been waiting long?”

“Not long.” Facing Lu Shiran, Qiao Yun’s voice softened a bit, making her appear once again like the docile, harmless sister.

Lu Shiran explained, “Actually, I should have arrived even earlier, but on the way here, a group of people said they were here to protect me and took me away.”

He said with residual fear, “I thought I was being kidnapped again; I even had my last words ready.”

Lu Shiran was still clueless.

Just an hour ago.
