Chapter 764: Chapter 764 There’s Something Fishy Chapter 764: Chapter 764 There’s Something Fishy Great-Uncle Lu glared at her, his voice icy as he said, “Do you believe that yourself?”

As he spoke, he furiously hurled the photograph he was holding onto Mrs. Qin’s face.

“Take a good look at what these are!”

Startled by Great-Uncle Lu’s angry demeanor, Mrs. Qin glanced frantically at the photographs scattered on the ground.

Her complexion turned deathly pale, her body swaying as if she might collapse.

These photographs were more explicit and numerous than those circulated online.

Mrs. Qin’s mind was in turmoil, her throat felt dry, and she was unable to utter a single word.

Great-Uncle Lu exclaimed in frustration, “You have lost all of the Qin Family’s face!”

Although his niece’s actions had nothing to do with him, her surname was Qin, and her every move represented the Qin Family.

Now that she had caused such a scandal, and the whole world knew about it, how could he face those old peers in the future?

Great-Uncle Lu’s head throbbed with anger.

Mrs. Qin, tears streaming down her face, pleaded, “Great-Uncle, please help me!”

“How do you expect me to help you?” Great-Uncle Lu snapped back, furious. “Do you think there’s still a way out with the situation this far gone?”

Mrs. Qin’s lips were dry, “There must be a way…”

Great-Uncle Lu said sarcastically, “You brought this upon yourself. If you hadn’t held that press conference, your deeds wouldn’t have been exposed.”

He sighed, “It’s nothing but reaping what you’ve sown.”

“You’re so capable, handling these matters would be just a matter of saying the word for you,” Mrs. Qin said urgently. “I am your niece, we share in glory and in shame.”

Great-Uncle Lu got even angrier when he heard her say that, “You still know about sharing in glory and in shame? How did I warn you before? If you had listened, it wouldn’t have come to this. Let me tell you, there’s nothing that can be done!”

Mrs. Qin seemed to think of something, her eyes suddenly widening, “Why is there no way out?”

Great-Uncle Lu said, “There’s no way out because there isn’t one.”

Seeing Great-Uncle Lu so certain, Mrs. Qin was stunned for a while before she said hatefully, “Is it because of Qiao Yun?”

Great-Uncle Lu saw the hatred in Mrs. Qin’s eyes very clearly and frowned subconsciously, sighing inwardly. It seemed that even now, his niece had not grasped the severity of the situation.

Mrs. Qin stared intently at her great-uncle and asked, deliberately enunciating each word, “Isn’t it that there’s no way out, just that I have offended someone like Qiao Yun? Why are you so afraid of her? Could she really be…?”

Great-Uncle Lu did not give her a straight answer, only saying, “You had your suspicions all along. If you provoke her, even if she doesn’t bother you, there will be plenty of others who will. You should be thankful you’re still alive.”

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Qin felt as if she had been struck by lightning, and her body uncontrollably stumbled backward a few steps, hitting the table behind her.

The water glass on the table, due to the force of the collision, uncontrollably fell to the ground, shattering with a crisp sound.

She stared fixedly at her great-uncle and muttered to herself, “How could this be, it’s impossible… her? How old is she, and by what right?”

She screamed hysterically, “By what right?!”

Great-Uncle Lu said impatiently, “By right of genuine talent.”

“I don’t believe it.”

“Whether you believe it or not, won’t change the fact. Competing with her, you’d likely be devoured to the point not even residue remains.”

Professor Qiao wasn’t frightening.

What was terrifying were the people behind her.

Any one of them plucked out at random was a formidable figure.

Even he didn’t dare to provoke Professor Qiao, so how could his niece–a mere woman–afford to offend her?

Now, retribution had come.

The entire internet in China knew how dirty a person Qin Yue from the Qin Family was.

Thinking of these things, the second great-uncle felt disgraced.

Mrs. Qin couldn’t help but shed tears again.

A strong sense of regret spread to the tip of her heart. She had lived for most of her life and even when she was almost pushed out by her own son to be a human shield, she never regretted.

But now, she did.

She finally realized that it was because of a person they, the Qin Family, couldn’t afford to offend who was helping them from behind, whether it was what they did to Lu Shiran or to the Lu Family, that they would fail.

Although she had suspicions earlier, she never thought this person would bring their Qin Family to such a state.

In a moment, Mrs. Qin seemed to lose her soul, her expression becoming blank.

The second great-uncle said, “Let me tell you the truth, as long as she doesn’t let go, neither your father nor Qin Yuan can even think of escaping! You should go back to M-country to lay low for a while, at least M-country is the Qin Family’s base.”

His words reminded Mrs. Qin, and she said with a frightened look, “Right, back to M-country, as long as I’m back in M-country I’ll be fine.”

Nowadays, her photos were being circulated on the entire internet in China, she guessed she would be recognized the moment she stepped outside.

She admitted to herself that she had no face to stay here.

And then there was Qiao Yun… this time it was only photos, what would it be next time?

She did not want to die, not one bit.

The second great-uncle saw that Mrs. Qin had understood, so he didn’t say much else, only telling her to pack her luggage now and that he would send her off later.

Mrs. Qin was also afraid that things would change again, so she quickly packed her luggage and hurried to the airport as if fleeing in panic.

The second great-uncle stood at the doorway, only somewhat relieved after seeing the car drive away. He called over an assistant and said, “Keep a close watch on her, don’t let her run off again.”

After giving his instructions, he took out his phone and dialed a number.

The moment the call connected, the second great-uncle’s voice was careful and obsequious with laughter.

“President Pei, I’ve sent that troublesome niece back to M-country as you asked. The things she did…”

On the other end of the phone, Pei Ya was in his office, sitting casually, his voice indifferent, “Don’t worry, she did wrong, and it has nothing to do with you.”

The second great-uncle felt relieved upon hearing this.

The entire technology industry was almost monopolized by Shengqiao, and he was truly worried that the things his troublesome niece had done would affect his career in the circle.

The second great-uncle asked tentatively, “If I may ask, sending her back to M-country is enough? Do I need to teach her a lesson or anything?”

The fact that provoking Professor Qiao only resulted in sending her back to M-country made the second great-uncle feel that something was amiss.

Everyone knew that Pei Ya and Professor Qiao’s relationship was no ordinary one, and there were even speculations that Pei Ya had a liking for Professor Qiao.

Pei Ya said carelessly, “Don’t ask what you shouldn’t ask, understand?”

Hearing the warning in Pei Ya’s voice, the second great-uncle quickly said, “Yes, yes, I understand.”

Pei Ya hummed indifferently and reassured him, “They are they, and you are you. As long as you don’t provoke Professor Qiao, no matter what they’ve done, it has nothing to do with you.”

The second great-uncle let out a sigh of relief upon getting the assurance.

Lately, he had been pestering Lu Shiran, hoping to meet Professor Qiao to gauge her attitude.

He was scared to death that the lack of foresight in his elder brother’s actions would make Professor Qiao look unfavorably upon him.

If that happened, it would be too unjust for him.

On the other side, after Pei Ya hung up the phone, he lightly tapped on the screen of his phone and sent out another message.
