Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 850 - Chapter 850 Chapter 850 What Who are you

Chapter 850: Chapter 850: What? Who are you!? Chapter 850: Chapter 850: What? Who are you!? Qiao Yun tapped on the screen, “Okay, I’ll come.”

After she responded to Lu Shiran, she said to Li Hanzhou, “Shall we go eat?”

Li Hanzhou naturally followed Qiao Yun.

…

“My sister agreed, and we’ll head to the cafeteria,” Lu Shiran called out to Li Miao to join them to the cafeteria.

Shen Qi instantly stood up, grabbed Xu Fang, and said, “Let’s go, let’s head there together.”

“You go ahead, I need to find my brother,” Xu Fang was quite anxious, eager to find out if his younger brother had passed the first round of assessments.

“Alright then,” Shen Qi waved him farewell.

Li Miao squinted her eyes, stared at Shen Qi, and said hauntingly, “Brother Shen, that’s not very appropriate.”

“What’s not appropriate?” Shen Qi didn’t catch the caution in Li Miao’s tone.

“Don’t you feel awkward?”

“What? Why should I feel awkward? Everyone knows each other, there’s nothing to be embarrassed about.”

“No, it’s like a family meal and you’re not a family member.”

Shen Qi, confused: “Aren’t you forgetting, neither are you.”

Li Miao: “…”

Li Miao, assertively, “Not now, but I will be in the future.”

Shen Qi laughed, “You yourself said it’s in the future, not now.”

Li Miao was speechlessly wide-eyed.

She was indeed right.

Why was Brother Shen so concerned about Qiao Yun? Definitely because he harbored a secret crush on his sister-in-law but could just bear it in silence since the Great Demon King got there first.

Thinking this, she felt quite sorry for him.

Li Miao sighed, offering solace, “Brother Shen, if it’s not meant to be yours, it won’t be. You have to accept that.”

Shen Qi: ??? What are you talking about?

Lu Shiran frowned, “Are we going or not?”

“Let’s go.” Li Miao’s attention was brought back, and she happily followed Lu Shiran.

Shen Qi shook his head, still puzzled about Li Miao’s nonsensical words, and followed them.

A group gathered in the cafeteria.

Lu Shiran, being very curious, asked many questions about the assessments.

Qiao Yun obediently answered him.

The cafeteria was large, but there weren’t many diners, so it was sparsely populated and they didn’t have to worry about being overheard.

Lu Shiran exclaimed, “Only ten are kept after the first round? Isn’t that too stringent?”

Qiao Yun explained, “It’s about quality, not quantity. Those who remain are geniuses.”

Lu Shiran grimaced, “Tianqi is too strict. I guess there’s no hope for me.”

“Not at all, brother, you are very smart,” Qiao Yun reassured Lu Shiran not to worry.

Lu Shiran chuckled, “Sis, ever consider pulling some strings for me?”

Qiao Yun, with a stern face, “Not considering it.”

Lu Shiran slightly sighed, oh, having a mighty sister but unable to rely on her… alas, too tragic.

Li Miao puzzled, “You want to get into Tianqi, why ask Qiaoqiao to pull strings? She can’t make those calls.”

Before anyone else could respond, Shen Qi was the first to say, “Because she’s Professor Qiao, she certainly can make those calls.”

Li Miao: “? What?”

Li Miao looked astoundedly at the innocent and well-behaved Qiao Yun, her voice rising an octave, “What? Who are you?”

Qiao Yun calmly replied, “Professor Qiao.”

She had always wanted to find a moment to tell Miaomiao, but the right occasion always sadly slipped by, now unexpectedly revealed without warning.

Li Miao, holding her chopsticks, turned to stone.

Lu Shiran was even more surprised than Li Miao, “You didn’t know?”

Li Miao turned to look at Lu Shiran, “You knew too?”

Lu Shiran told her, “Our whole family knew.”

Li Miao said with a grievance, “Why am I the only one who didn’t know? Weren’t we told she used to live in the countryside? I even prepared a lot of nice things to donate this time.”

“Hahaha, trying to donate to people from Tianqi Research Institute, you really are a genius,” Lu Shiran mockingly laughed.

Li Miao pouted. Although she was shocked that her good sister suddenly turned into Professor Qiao, she accepted it quite quickly after all, as the young mistress of the Li Family who had met many important figures. It’s just that she was still a bit dazed.

“No way, Qiaoqiao, you’re already so accomplished, why do you still go to school?”

Qiao Yun explained, “I want to be human.”

Li Miao: ?? So you weren’t human before?

Qiao Yun apologized, “I wanted to tell you, but there was no chance. Don’t be angry.”

Li Miao murmured, “I’m not angry. My good sister being important, actually, I’m quite happy.”

Seeing her attitude unchanged, Qiao Yun was relieved. If Li Miao felt distant because of this revelation, it would have indeed made her sad.

Li Miao was broad-minded. Despite the shock, it was impossible for her to become estranged from Qiao Yun.

Then she suddenly thought of something and turned to Shen Qi, “So, Brother Shen, your interest in Qiaoqiao isn’t because you like her huh…”

Li Hanzhou, who had been diligently serving Qiao Yun, said with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, “You like my girlfriend?”

Shen Qi had a look of terror.

Although he liked Professor Qiao, it wasn’t in that way!

It was admiration for an idol.

“I’m not, I didn’t, it’s not possible.”

Li Hanzhou smiled, “What’s not to like about my girlfriend, why wouldn’t you like her?”

Shen Qi: “…”

Enough, stop being unreasonable!

Luckily, Qiao Yun spoke up to stop it, “Don’t scare him.”

That’s when Li Hanzhou let it go.

Li Miao looked at the obedient and clever Qiao Yun and realized belatedly, now that her good sister was Professor Qiao, could she perhaps enjoy the products developed by Tianqi ahead of time?

Wow, that’s really exciting.

…

On this side,

Jiang Jing and Xu Qiao met up.

Xu Qiao, oblivious to Jiang Jing’s distracted demeanor, grabbed her arm anxiously and asked, “How did it go?”

Jiang Jing pursed her lips, her expression collapsed, she closed her eyes, “I lost.”

“Lost?” Xu Qiao’s voice was sharp, “Are you joking with mom? How could you possibly lose!”

Her daughter was so outstanding, yet she failed to be selected!

Jiang Jing bit her lip hard, wondering herself why she had lost.

Xu Qiao said hurriedly, “I had even arranged a celebration party, I’ve informed everyone. What do we do now?”

Jiang Jing’s eyes darkened, “Mom, why didn’t you ask me, do you want me to be the laughing stock? How am I supposed to live in Yuncheng now, I can’t even show my face.”

“I didn’t know you would be rejected,” Xu Qiao said incredulously. “With your capabilities, where could you possibly not match up to Tianqi? They should be the ones dying of laughter to get you.”

Jiang Jing said bitterly, “You know nothing, Qiao Yun was actually the special examiner this time! If it wasn’t for her appearance, I wouldn’t have lost my composure.”

Xu Qiao was thunderstruck, never having expected Qiao Yun to have such influence.

She said resentfully, “I understand now, it must be because she tampered with something that you lost. We can’t let this go, this exam wasn’t fair!”

Jiang Jing’s expression was stunned.

On one hand, she felt Qiao Yun wouldn’t do such a thing.

On the other hand, she hoped that Qiao Yun really had tampered with the exam so that she could preserve her reputation.

Xu Qiao patted Jiang Jing’s hand, consoling her, “Don’t be sad, mom will help you get justice. The Jiang family is a leading wealthy family here, and we won’t be bullied easily.”
