Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 757 - Chapter 757 Chapter 757 Could it be Could it not be Impossible

Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Could it be, Could it not be, Impossible, What if? Chapter 757: Chapter 757: Could it be, Could it not be, Impossible, What if? Lu Jingzhi knew his sister wasn’t sick, so he felt relieved inside, “Mom, you’re worried about my sister too.”

“It’s really rare to see Qiaoqiao blush,” Su Mian remarked offhandedly, “When I first dated your dad, it looked quite similar to Qiaoqiao now. Could it be that she’s in love?”

Su Mian was just saying this casually and didn’t really dwell on it.

But Lu Jingzhi, not sure what he thought of, suddenly looked very upset–as dark as the bottom of a pot.

When he had come back earlier, he thought he saw Li Hanzhou’s car leaving.

Could it be… no way… impossible… but what if?

So angry…

Su Mian was utterly surprised by the look on Lu Jingzhi’s face.

Speaking of Qiaoqiao’s face just now, it was tender enough to make one want to kiss her.

Lu Jingzhi right now looked as if someone had smeared pot soot on his face, it was so dark it was almost hard to see his complexion.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Boss, are you alright?”

Lu Jingzhi nearly gritted his teeth, “I’m fine.”

Heh, he just felt like beating someone up.

Su Mian advised, “You need to rest more, don’t always get so caught up in work that your complexion suffers. I’ll make something nutritious for you tomorrow. Oh, and for Qiaoqiao too, both of you siblings were quite odd today.”

Lu Jingzhi: Ha ha!

…

Qiao Yun went back upstairs, washed up, and then lay in bed, finding herself unable to sleep.

She touched her face; it was no longer hot.

She hadn’t noticed before, but today she realized that Li Hanzhou’s feelings for her were more intense than she had thought.

Qiao Yun pulled up the blanket, hid her chin under it, and only her bright, beautiful eyes that seemed to be smiling were visible.

After pausing for a while, Qiao Yun turned over, ready to go to sleep.

However, just then, her phone rang. Someone had sent her a message.

Qiao Yun stretched her hand out from under the blanket and grabbed the phone from the bedside table.

Seeing who had sent the message, Qiao Yun unexpectedly raised her eyebrows.

It was Xie Ying.

Why would her brother’s manager send her a message?

Qiao Yun opened it with a puzzled look.

Xie Ying:[Qiaoqiao, are you asleep?]

Seeing she hadn’t replied, Xie Ying sent another message.

[By the way, there’s something I don’t know if you’ve heard about, it’s about your brother preparing to retire from the industry.]

Qiao Yun frowned in surprise, typing lightly, [When?]

Seeing the response from Qiao Yun, Xie Ying, who had been anxious, felt relieved and quickly explained, [I only found out today myself. Your brother plans to hold a concert tour and then announce his retirement at the concert.]

Qiao Yun didn’t understand.

She knew Zhanxing deeply loved this career, otherwise, he wouldn’t have run away from home alone to pursue it, nor would he have insisted on grinding his teeth and pushing through when he was driven to desperation by capital forces in the beginning.

Why would he suddenly think of retiring?

Qiao Yun asked: [Why?]

The response came quickly, [I’m not sure myself, but it might be related to the recent events in your family.]

Zhanxing didn’t clarify, but Xie Ying, being a shrewd person and familiar with Zhanxing’s character, knew that Zhanxing might be worried that his career would affect his family members… specifically Qiaoqiao’s normal life.

[I reached out to you not for anything else, just hoping you could persuade Zhanxing, as he usually listens to you.]

Reading this message, Qiao Yun paused for a moment and replied to him, [I understand.]

Xie Ying felt much less irritated after receiving her response.

Although he and Lu Zhanxing were partners, they had been through thick and thin together, and he was genuinely concerned for Lu Zhanxing.

Knowing that he was reluctant to give up everything he had worked so hard for, how could he remain indifferent?

Xie Ying put away his phone, knocked on his numb legs, and waited for the numbness to subside before he opened the bathroom door and sneaked around to see if anyone was there.

Upon seeing that nobody was around, he returned to the set.

Lu Zhanxing, holding a cup of goji berry tea, took a slow sip and, seeing Xie Ying return, asked, “Did you fall into the toilet? You were gone for so long.”

“You wouldn’t understand,” Xie Ying said with an air of mystery.

For the sake of his artist’s future, his efforts were truly excruciating, almost like being a thief.

Lu Zhanxing raised an eyebrow and spoke earnestly, “You don’t have hemorrhoids, do you? Should I refer you to a doctor?”

Xie Ying: “…”

Maybe it was better to let Lu Zhanxing exit the scene.

…

Li Hanzhou returned home, aware that the elderly Li had found his mother, who had rushed back in haste. Seeing Li Hanzhou return, she scanned his face and then paused.

“Have you seen off Professor Qiao?”

Li Hanzhou responded lazily with a hum.

Mrs. Li, feeling relieved, said, “If it weren’t for Professor Qiao today, who knows what would have happened to the old man; we owe Professor Qiao a favor.”

Li Hanzhou said, “Grandfather has already compensated.”

Mrs. Li: “???”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, “You seem very happy; did something good happen?”

Li Hanzhou cheerfully replied, “Pretty much.”

Mrs. Li was extremely curious about what good thing could make her usually reserved son smile so broadly, with his lips almost reaching his eyes.

She sneakily asked, “Is it related to Professor Qiao?”

Li Hanzhou said nothing more; the lovely appearance of a child was something only he could appreciate, so he changed the subject, “Is Grandfather asleep?”

Just as he finished speaking, the old master happened to come downstairs; seeing Li Hanzhou back, he expressed his surprise, “Why are you back?”

Li Hanzhou said nonchalantly, “Why haven’t you left?”

Old master: “…” You’re killing me.

He huffed, turning to Mrs. Li and saying, “This is your good son, speaking to his own grandfather like this?”

Mrs. Li smiled and said, “Dad, you know Zhouzhou has a sharp tongue but a soft heart.”

Li Hanzhou’s temples twitched.

The old master felt slightly better, shamelessly saying, “Anyway, don’t think I’ll leave; let’s wait until your dad’s birthday is over.”

Reminded of this, Mrs. Li hurriedly said to Li Hanzhou, “Remember to invite Professor Qiao’s family at that time; I’ll leave it in your hands.”

The old master looked down in disdain and said, “Make a good impression then, try to make it permanent.”

Li Hanzhou thought of Qiao Yun’s brothers and felt somewhat headache.

If it weren’t for them being brothers approved by Qiao Yun, he wouldn’t have given them a second glance.

Li Hanzhou did not reply but asked about something else, “Did you inquire about the Qin family’s matter?”

“Nonsense,” the old master boasted proudly. “Your grandfather was a prominent figure who once dominated this side of town, frightening everyone. How could such a small matter trouble me?”

Li Hanzhou got straight to the point, “Get to the point.”

The old master coughed lightly, “You are really no fun; Professor Qiao really must have been blind to have chosen you.”

“…” Li Hanzhou wondered, was he adopted?

The old master returned to the main topic, “Don’t worry. I’ve sent someone to negotiate; they know what to do, and the Qin family won’t be able to leave Shangjing City.”

“Hmm,” Li Hanzhou nodded.

“However…” the old master’s expression suddenly turned serious, “there is something strange…”
