Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 760 - Chapter 760 Chapter 760 Did It Really Succeed

Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Did It Really Succeed? Chapter 760: Chapter 760: Did It Really Succeed? Qiao Yun had just arrived at school when her phone rang; she answered the call and the next second, she heard Pei Ya’s voice.

“Qin Yue has made a move.”

When he said this, his voice still carried disbelief and a hint of scorn.

Qiao Yun replied indifferently, “What does she want to do?”

With a laugh-like tone, Pei Ya said, “I forgot to tell you, Qin Yue suspects your identity because of the motivational speech you recorded last time for the senior students of Shengyang, which made her suspicious.”

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow, rather surprised that this seemingly harmless woman could be so astute.

“She must be just guessing; she hasn’t confirmed it yet,” Pei Ya sighed. “It’s like a blind cat running into a dead rat; she guessed right.”

Qiao Yun calmly said, “She’s desperate.”

Pei Ya thought the same; Qin Yue probably really had no other options, which is why she would cling to anything that might save her.

After all, the Qin Family was being suppressed by Qin Liang, making it impossible for the Qin family members to help Qin Yue.

Pei Ya continued, “But Qin Liang’s attitude toward you is something anyone could sense was off. I had someone hack into her phone system, and everything related to you has been deleted.”

Qiao Yun nodded, asking, “Then what?”

“Now she has no evidence to suspect you, so…”

Pei Ya’s old habit kicked in, always pausing at crucial moments to pique Professor Qiao’s curiosity. Of course, he wouldn’t wait for Professor Qiao to speak before he very considerately continued.

“So, she’s arranged to meet with the media, planning to hold an online press conference. The Qin Family’s issues can’t be hidden; news had already leaked out. Although there’s little reporting now, mainly because the officials haven’t announced anything, many media outlets are quietly paying attention to the affairs of the Qin and Lu Families.”

Qiao Yun knew this; secrets can’t be hidden forever. Shiran suddenly becoming the heir to Old Mr. Qin’s estate would definitely attract attention.

She didn’t bother to intervene, since she had Pei Ya to worry about it.

Pei Ya informed Qiao Yun, “I got reliable information that she wants to explain the recent events between the Qin and Lu Families and to publicly apologize.”

Without a second thought, Qiao Yun said in a firm tone, “She won’t apologize.”

To this day, Qin Yue hadn’t shown any sign of remorse. If she had any, she wouldn’t be threatening her.

“Right, I think so too. Besides, this is a scandal; why would she willingly expose the scandal to the public?”

Moreover, the focus of the press conference was on the feud between Old Mr. Qin and the Lu Family, while Mrs. Qin made no mention of what Qin Yuan and Qin Xuan had done.

Pei Ya thought that the Qin family truly consisted of ruthless individuals, including Mrs. Qin who relied on her son; even she knew how to use Old Mr. Qin as a scapegoat under these circumstances.

“Her target must be you. I guess she might want to use the press conference to reveal your identity to the media. If successful, it would definitely cause a huge sensation.”

Without evidence, Qin Yue would simply speak personally. Being a member of the Qin family, her words would carry some credibility.

And the media wouldn’t care about the truth; they would swarm to the story.

If Professor Qiao didn’t want to be disturbed, she would have to meet Qin Yue and have her deny these were just guesses and that she fabricated them to cause trouble for the Lu family.

That way, her goal would be achieved.

Mrs. Qin indeed thought this way; without evidence, she would use her family background to convince people.

Qiao Yun nonchalantly said, “Keep her from succeeding.”

“Of course.” Pei Ya held the phone and turned his head to look at the huge floor-to-ceiling window in his office; sunlight reflected sharply in his eyes.

“Since she wants to hold a press conference, I’ll let her have it, but I’ll send her a gift that will make her disappear completely.”

Qiao Yun hummed in response, without asking Pei Ya what he planned to do.

Qin Yue could have been living her life peacefully, yet she insisted on troubling her, so she would have to make sure Qin Yue couldn’t trouble her anymore.

Pei Ya’s call to Qiao Yun wasn’t specifically about Qin Yue’s case; such a minor figure wasn’t worth Professor Qiao’s attention. He was concerned about something else.

“Also, about Qin Yuan’s situation, the Li Family has intervened.”

Qiao Yun stated, “It was Grandfather Li; he said he would handle it.”

Pei Ya: “…” One Li Hanzhou competing with him was bad enough, but now even the old master of the Li Family too?

Pei Ya deeply felt his career was under threat.

“Prepare some gifts to send to Grandfather Li.” Qiao Yun felt she had already taken quite a bit from Grandfather Li and it was proper to reciprocate.

Pei Ya asked, “Have you met him already?”

“Yes, we have met.”

“That was fast,” Pei Ya felt annoyed again.

So you, Li Hanzhou, are very quick, having already introduced Professor Qiao to the elders, just so eager to take her away?

Qiao Yun had reached the classroom door by now, so she said to Pei Ya, “Hanging up.”

Pei Ya watched as the call ended, feeling stifled with nowhere to vent, and finally decided to take it out on Qin Yue!

He must make it clear to Professor Qiao that he is still her most reliable assistant.

At this moment, Qin Yue had no idea that the darkest moment of her life was approaching, all because Li Hanzhou annoyed Pei Ya, making her inadvertently become the target of his frustration.

…

Qiao Yun walked into the classroom and noticed that all her students had a surprisingly consistent low atmosphere, looking listless. Blinking in confusion, she walked to her seat and sat down.

Seeing Xia Ling resting her half-faced on the table, sighing heavily, she asked with concern, “Are you feeling unwell?”

“No.” Xia Ling looked in agony. “It’s not because the principal sent those mock exam papers that are just too difficult. I feel like my brain cells are being wrung dry.”

If she didn’t have to check them later, she wouldn’t need to write so painfully.

This isn’t learning; it’s killing.

Xia Ling continued to sigh, “I finally believe now; the principal really is an old sadist who loves to squeeze people dry.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

Her students’ misunderstanding of her was really too great. She was clearly considering their future.

Qiao Yun tried to prove herself, “Actually, it’s really simple.”

Xia Ling looked at Qiao Yun as if she had seen a ghost: “Simple?”

“Yeah,” Qiao Yun said. “This set of practice papers is graded, and you guys have the elementary level.”

“Just elementary?” Xia Ling’s eyes widened.

Qiao Yun nodded, comforting her: “So, the principal is really quite nice, only giving you the elementary level.”

Xia Ling: “…” She felt something was off but also that everything felt right. Where’s the catch?

“Have you finished it?” Xia Ling asked spontaneously, then remembering Qiao Yun’s extraordinary mind, she raised her hand: “No need to say, I know you must have finished it.”

Qiao Yun replied modestly, “It took me half an hour to finish.”

Xia Ling: Jealousy made her look completely different.

After watching Qiao Yun for a while, Xia Ling narrowed her eyes and muttered to herself: “Am I seeing things? Why do I feel like you and the principal have similar personalities, both equally twisted…”

Of course, Qiao Yun’s twistiness was in her brain, but the principal was genuinely twisted.

Qiao Yun’s hand stiffened while holding the textbook, and she said seriously, “I am not twisted.”

Xia Ling: “…”

Qiaoqiao, still as serious as ever.

At the end of the school day, Qiao Yun saw the dispirited Li Miao again.

Upon seeing Qiao Yun, Li Miao rushed over, almost hanging on Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, have you finished your paper?”

Qiao Yun nodded: “Yeah.”

Li Miao sighed deeply, “I can’t take it anymore, I want to break up with you for a minute.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

She belatedly realized that she might indeed be a bit twisted.

So this was what Pei Ya meant by the gap between people.

She really shouldn’t hold them to her own standards.

Qiao Yun decided to give a different gift.

Thinking it over, she asked Li Miao, “What gift would make everyone happy?”

Li Miao instinctively replied, “Of course, a holiday.”

“Okay, I got it.”

Li Miao: ??? Got what?

Li Miao didn’t understand, but didn’t ask, pulling Qiao Yun along, “Qiaoqiao, let’s go eat, my treat.”

“Okay.” Qiao Yun did not refuse.

On the way to the restaurant with Li Miao, she sent a message to Pei Ya, asking him to give every senior high student a ticket to Starlight Amusement Park.

Pei Ya, seeing this message, could hardly believe his eyes and had to read it a few times before confirming it was indeed sent by Professor Qiao.

Oh my, this is unbelievable.

Professor Qiao actually learned to empathize? Previously, that would have been absolutely impossible.

Pei Ya found it quite inconceivable. Had Professor Qiao really succeeded in becoming humane?

…

In the restaurant.

Li Miao was looking at the menu and then saw Qiao Yun seriously playing with her phone.

Curious, she leaned over, “Qiaoqiao, what are you looking at?”

Qiao Yun spoke in a flat tone: “Looking at something good.”

Li Miao, being extremely curious, heard Qiao Yun’s remark and immediately moved her head closer.

“Can I see?”

“Yeah.” Qiao Yun nodded, then placed the phone on the table propped against a water glass, signaling Li Miao to watch together.

Li Miao excitedly moved her chair closer and leaned in with Qiao Yun.

She then looked at the phone screen and paused for a moment.

The screen displayed a live-streaming interface.

…

Madame Qin had contacted the media to hold a press conference, worried initially that her second uncle might find out and stop her. However, even as the live broadcast began, there was no sign of him, and she felt relieved.

The live broadcast had just started and the viewers kept increasing, soon becoming a trending topic.

Although Madame Qin found it strange, she attributed the high viewership to the recent attention garnered by the Lu Family incidents.

She was completely unaware that the sudden surge in viewers was due to someone behind the scenes pulling strings.

This connection involved not just one, but several prestigious media outlets.

On the screen, Madame Qin had swollen eyes and a face full of exhaustion, lacking any of her usual glamour.

Li Miao was confused and asked, “Who is she?”

Qiao Yun said succinctly, “A villain.”

Li Miao’s eyes widened. If Qiaoqiao said this woman was a villain, she must indeed be a very bad person.

Instantly intrigued, she stared intently at the phone screen.
