Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 769 - Chapter 769 Chapter 769 Say Are You Hiding Something From Me

Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Say, Are You Hiding Something From Me? Chapter 769: Chapter 769: Say, Are You Hiding Something From Me? Just outside the front door stood a car of considerable value, a limited edition model available globally.

Typically, only the very wealthy or those with deep connections could afford such a car.

Qiao Yun merely glanced at it before turning her attention away.

Upon opening the door and stepping inside, she saw Lu Rui and Su Mian sitting formally on the sofa, and Lu Jingzhi, who looked as tense as if he were facing a major threat.

The moment the three saw Qiao Yun return, their eyes instantly lit up as if they had seen a savior.

Su Mian immediately stood up, her voice tinged with nervousness, “Qiaoqiao, come and say hello.”

Qiao Yun felt puzzled for a moment, and when her gaze shifted, she noticed an elderly man smiling broadly opposite them.

She paused, then exclaimed in surprise, “Grandpa Li?”

Seeing Qiao Yun return, Grandpa Li’s eyes suddenly widened, and he warmly said, “Qiaoqiao is back, come over and sit.”

His attitude was so warm that it made Su Mian inadvertently give him a look.

Does this old man have to be so familiar?

Qiao Yun nodded politely, “Grandpa Li, okay.”

“Good, good, good,” Grandpa Li sized up Qiao Yun approvingly, liking her more and more.

Li Hanzhou was his only grandson, and given his advanced age, he could pass away any day and naturally wanted to hold a great-grandson as soon as possible.

However, considering the professor Qiao’s current age, it seemed that day was still far off.

Furthermore, since it had been so long without the Lu family’s approval, Grandpa Li could no longer sit idly by.

Inwardly, he scorned his grandson for being so useless, finding it necessary to take matters into his own hands.

For the sake of his grandson’s life-long happiness, he had no choice but to boldly visit the Lu family to scope out the situation.

With this thought, Grandpa Li quickly picked up several gift bags that were beside him.

He first took out a painting and generously handed it to Lu Rui, “Here, this is a meeting gift.”

Lu Rui, looking utterly baffled, couldn’t help but open it to look.

Good heavens, a millennium-old painting, worth at least countless billions.

Grandpa Li then took out an exquisite box and handed it to Su Mian, “This is for you, just a small gift, don’t disdain it.”

Su Mian looked shockingly at the sapphire brooch inside the box; she remembered this brooch being auctioned for fifty million.

Instantly, her hands felt as heavy as if they weighed a ton.

“Lu family elder brother, this is for you.”

Grandpa Li pulled out a Rolex heritage watch.

“I…”

Lu Jingzhi hadn’t finished speaking when Grandpa Li shoved the watch into his hands.

“Take it, don’t be polite with me.”

His tone was absolutely lavish.

Lu Jingzhi: “…”

Su Mian: “…”

Lu Rui: “…”

This lavish style, why does it seem so familiar?

The three simultaneously turned their eyes towards Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun blinked, looking utterly innocent.

Grandpa Li then happily took out various gifts from the gift bag, “These are all for you, my first visit here and I didn’t know what to bring, just some trinkets.”

Qiao Yun glanced at them, either valuable diamonds or gemstones.

Although they truly were just trinkets for her, she couldn’t accept them without any reason.

But Grandpa Li was an elder, and also Zhouzhou’s grandfather.

Qiao Yun couldn’t refuse, and could only look towards her own parents for guidance.

Lu Family’s parents snapped out of their shock and quickly said in a fluster, “Mr. Li, these gifts are too valuable, we can’t accept them.”

“Exactly, it was enough that you came, why bring gifts too?” Su Mian reacted as if she had been burned, wanting to push the gifts back.

Honestly, Grandpa Li’s sudden visit had startled them quite a bit; this legendary figure was someone they were meeting for the first time.

Even speaking to him, they had to be extremely careful, let alone dare to accept his gifts.

There was no need to mention Lu Jingzhi, who was very clear about why Grandpa Li had come. If they really accepted something from the Li family, and once the relationship between Li Hanzhou and his sister was exposed, they couldn’t oppose it anymore.

After all, he who accepts favors is at another’s mercy.

Lu Jingzhi narrowed his eyes, highly suspecting that Grandpa Li’s sudden generosity was just paving the way for Li Hanzhou’s future.

Then they couldn’t accept them even more.

Grandpa Li, ignoring Lu Jingzhi’s scrutiny, said cheerfully, “We’re family now, so no need for formalities; just accept them.”

Su Mian was stunned, what did he mean by ‘we’re family’?

Seeing Su Mian’s expression, Grandpa Li’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly changed his statement: “Qiaoqiao saved my life; she is like my second parents! Naturally, we’re family now.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

After Grandma Qiao, had she been promoted to Ancestor Qiao?

Su Mian knew that Grandpa Li had a heart attack when Qiao Yun happened to see and subsequently save him.

But why did it still feel so strange?

“If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have left him unsaved either,” Lu Rui declined politely, “Qiaoqiao was doing a good deed, so these gifts, we cannot accept.”

If it were ordinary gifts, they might have accepted them.

But these were outrageously valuable!

Even the usually slow to catch on, Lu Rui was puzzled, was Grandpa Li’s enthusiasm for Qiaoqiao a bit too much?

Seeing their stubbornness, Grandpa Li immediately sighed, “Since you don’t like them, I will take them back, it’s my fault for not asking your preferences beforehand, it’s normal for you to dislike them.”

“That’s not what we meant,” said Su Mian, worried Grandpa Li might misunderstand, “We do like them, we will accept them after all.”

Grandpa Li’s face lit up, grinning, “That’s right, let’s all sit down.”

Su Mian and Lu Rui exchanged a helpless look, indeed, the old ginger is hotter.

Qiao Yun, seeing her family’s difficulty, sat next to Grandpa Li, turned her head, and asked in an unhurried tone, “Grandpa Li, does Zhouzhou know you’ve come here?”

Grandpa Li held his teacup, pretending not to hear Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun sighed like an old person, “Did you sneak out again?”

“How could it be sneaking out,” Grandpa Li asserted righteously, “I left squarely and properly.”

They just thought that he was out visiting an old friend.

Qiao Yun nodded, “Okay, I understand.”

Grandpa Li thought he had dodged the bullet, then the next second, he saw Qiao Yun take out her phone, and in front of him, make a call.

On the phone, she simply dropped a line: “Grandpa Li is here.”

Grandpa Li: “…” Professor Qiao, you really let me down.

Su Mian couldn’t help but reflect.

Indeed, it was her Qiaoqiao, really good at handling elders.

But what on earth was Zhouzhou? Why was she referred to in such an intimate manner?

Su Mian finally realized that Grandpa Li’s visit might have hidden motives, and couldn’t help glaring at Lu Jingzhi: Spill it, are you hiding something from me?

Receiving his mother’s fierce glare, Lu Jingzhi quietly shifted his gaze away; was it still possible to pretend to have an errand and leave now?
