Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 753 - Chapter 753 Chapter 753 Urgent Matter

Chapter 753: Chapter 753 Urgent Matter Chapter 753: Chapter 753 Urgent Matter “And there’s the matter with the Qin Family…” Li Hanzhou’s smile dropped a notch, his voice displeased, “It caused quite a bit of trouble for the kid.”

Upon mentioning this, Grandpa Li felt guilty as hell. If he hadn’t been blind to let Qin Xuan and Li Hanzhou have the blind date, none of this would have happened.

His visit to Shangjing City this time was because he worried that it would affect their relationship as grandfather and grandson.

“Alright, out with it.”

Li Han Zhou was straightforward: “That mountaintop villa in America, I think it could serve as a compensation.”

“…” Grandpa Li did some mental calculations.

Indeed, he had been in Shangjing City for just a few hours, and his grandson had already tricked him out of several billion US dollars.

Even though he knew Li Hanzhou was doing it on purpose, Grandpa Li was still very generous and waved his hand magnanimously, “Take it, it’s all yours.”

The Li Family was not short on cash.

And were those really just some dollars being given away?

No, they were a bribe for Professor Qiao.

Qiao Yun, who had been listening to their conversation the whole time, finally spoke up with a soft voice, declining, “I have money, I don’t need these.”

“Professor Qiao, it’s not about the money,” Grandpa Li said with a smile, “This is a meeting gift from me, as my grandson’s elder.”

The corners of Li Hanzhou’s lips curved up slightly, his voice indulgent, “Don’t refuse a gift that’s given freely, just accept it, you can go there to have fun in the future.”

He was fully justified in seeking benefits for his girlfriend.

Qiao Yun hesitated, then accepted, but she was very sensible in her response, “Thank you, Grandpa Li. If you ever need anything, come to me.”

She had made a promise to Grandpa Li.

Grandpa Li thought to himself that securing a promise from Professor Qiao was worth more than any material item.

His grandson really had some talent to have won over Professor Qiao.

Until now, it all still seemed like a dream to Grandpa Li.

But it was only today that he confirmed his grandson truly cared about Professor Qiao, or he wouldn’t have exploited him like this.

Well, this was all for the best. With Professor Qiao around, his grandson seemed to have gained a bit more humanity.

In good spirits, Grandpa Li grandly ordered a table full of dishes, ready to have a proper chat with Professor Qiao.

The chance to have a face-to-face conversation with Professor Qiao was rare, and Grandpa Li was quite proud.

Professor Qiao might become his granddaughter-in-law, and this thought had him floating on air, eager to let the whole world know.

Just then, Qiao Yun’s phone in her pocket went off at an inappropriate time.

It was Pei Yao calling.

Since Grandpa Li was present, answering the phone at the table was impolite, so Qiao Yun didn’t answer.

But after the call disconnected automatically, it rang again the next second.

Qiao Yun knew that Pei Yao might have something urgent, so she said, “I’m going to take a call.”

After saying that, she stood up, opened the private room door, and left.

Li Hanzhou didn’t say anything. His gaze instinctively followed the petite figure of Qiao Yun as she left. His eyes were deep, and he didn’t look away for a while.

“Cough cough cough…” Grandpa Li coughed a few times, hinting, “That’s about enough. Have some consideration for an old man like me. Can’t you young people show some restraint?”

This was enough public display of affection.

Li Hanzhou withdrew his gaze, glancing at the old man, “You seem pretty aware of being a third wheel. If you don’t want to play that part, you can leave.”

Grandpa Li wasn’t happy about that suggestion, putting down his chopsticks, he replied with disbelief, “Why are you always trying to get rid of me? I’ve only been here a few hours, aren’t you afraid that the back and forth could tire me out?”

“You seem pretty energetic to me.” Li Hanzhou scanned the spirited old man, “You even had time to run away.”

Instantly feeling guilty, Grandpa Li defended himself, “I haven’t seen my precious granddaughter for so long. I just wanted to pick her up from school. I didn’t expect this to happen.”

If I hadn’t run into Professor Qiao today, I really don’t know if I could still be sitting here.

Old Master Li has aged, and his heart isn’t very good. He went abroad to recuperate in order to avoid being disturbed and affecting his physical and mental health.

Li Hanzhou merely smiled silently, his gaze icy cold.

Old Master Li’s complexion wasn’t very good, and he huffed, “I think you’re just trying to make me angry.”

Li Hanzhou nodded, “As long as you know.”

“…”

Old Master Li was caught off guard, and quickly changed the subject, “It will be your father’s birthday soon. As his dad, am I not allowed to celebrate my son’s birthday?”

Li Hanzhou chuckled lightly, “You’re quite good at finding excuses.”

Old Master Li looked indignantly righteous, “Come on, I’ve been through storms and events, there’s nothing I haven’t faced. You don’t need to worry about me getting into trouble.”

Li Hanzhou’s expression changed slightly, then quickly returned to normal as he said with a half-smile, “If you can stay put for a change and stop running away.”

Old Master Li felt guilty again, “How is that running away? It’s their own fault for not keeping up.”

Li Hanzhou said nonchalantly, “Does grandma know you’re back in Shangjing City?”

Old Master Li’s eyes flickered evasively, “Of course, she knows.”

“Huh.”

“Fine, fine, she doesn’t know,” Old Master Li unabashedly declared: “I can go wherever I want, what can she do about it.”

Seeing his stubbornness, Li Hanzhou didn’t push further, his voice lazy, “As you wish.”

Old Master Li couldn’t quite grasp his grandson’s attitude, but even if he were truly angry, it was not something he feared.

Originally, he planned to stay for a few days and then return to the US, but now that he knew Li Hanzhou and Professor Qiao were dating, he changed his mind.

He thought it would be impolite not to meet Professor Qiao’s family members.

With this in mind, Old Master Li suggested, “How about we schedule a time to meet Professor Qiao’s family members?”

Li Hanzhou told him expressionlessly, “Now’s not a good time.”

“Why not?” Old Master Li was puzzled, “Is it a matter of time? There’s no rush, we can wait until everyone’s available. Now that you’re with Professor Qiao, I should at least meet her family, otherwise it would seem like we don’t take Professor Qiao seriously.”

Li Hanzhou replied languidly, “Because they don’t know yet.”

Old Master Li’s words came to an abrupt halt, then he scanned Li Hanzhou with a disdainful look and let out a few scoffs.

With Old Master Li looking at him like that, Li Hanzhou’s temples throbbed visibly.

In the tone of someone who has been there, Old Master Li said, “You’re really not up to it, not at all like how I pursued your grandma with gusto.”

“Oh?” Li Hanzhou’s lips curled up, his tone rising at the end, “I heard from my dad that when you pursued grandma, her several brothers chased you from one end of the street to the other, nearly throwing you into the sea, right?”

Old Master Li: “…”

Old Master Li decided to shut up, lest his dark history be dredged up again.

A curse seemed to hang over the Li Family, just as he was chased and beaten by his wife’s brothers, his son had also had a gun pointed to his head by his daughter-in-law’s brothers, nearly sparking a gunfight between two major families.

He guessed his grandson probably had it tough too; otherwise, his expression wouldn’t be so cold.
