Chapter 887: Chapter 887 What Era Are We In to Still Have Joint Punishment? Chapter 887: Chapter 887 What Era Are We In to Still Have Joint Punishment? When Su Qingqing saw Pei Ya getting out of the car, smiling at Qiao Yun like a blooming sunflower, she realized that he might indeed know he was acting as a nanny and even relished the role.

What’s going on here?

Could it be? The chairman of Shengqiao Group was willing to be a nanny?

Is that right?

Su Qingqing’s worldview started to collapse; it wasn’t that she hadn’t seen Pei Ya before. She had seen him last year while visiting Beijing, and his relationship with the Lu Family seemed good then.

But now, it seemed it was not just a good relationship with the Lu Family, but a particularly good one with Qiao Yun–the Lu Family probably just benefited from that by association.

Su Qingqing, still somewhat in shock, asked Lu Shiran standing next to her, “Is our sister very close to Director Pei?”

“Close, of course,” Lu Shiran replied very calmly, “Otherwise, why would he come to pick her up?”

It’s true that Pei Ya was working for his younger sister; calling him a nanny was not wrong at all.

He was quite shocked when he first found out, okay?

But now?

Lu Shiran expressed that it was just a matter of getting used to it, just getting used to it.

Pei Ya even treats his sister like his own mother.

Seeing that both Lu Shiran and Li Miao took it for granted, a puzzled Su Qingqing said, “Don’t you find it strange? A chairman with so much free time to personally pick someone up?”

“They’re close; it’s perfectly normal. Brother Pei is my sister’s most loyal fan.”

After getting to know Pei Ya, Lu Shiran changed his address for him from Director Pei to Brother.

Su Qingqing was filled with question marks.

Looking at Qiao Yun now, it was like she was seeing a rare animal.

Her cousin was so incredible that even the chairman of Shengqiao had become her fan!

This–it’s unscientific!

Su Qingqing found the situation extremely strange, with the only explanation being that Pei Ya must like Qiao Yun, which explained his attentiveness.

Qiao Yun was unaware of the storm brewing in Su Qingqing’s mind; she got into Pei Ya’s car and rolled down the window to wave goodbye to Su Qingqing, “I’ll be leaving first.”

Su Qingqing came back to her senses and told Qiao Yun to be careful on the road. After the car departed, she then escorted Lu Shiran and Li Miao home.

Meanwhile.

Fu Yun stepped out of the hotel entrance, and her driver was already waiting for her.

She was in a bad mood, radiating gloom, and just as she was about to get into the car, she looked up and saw an expensive luxury car drive past her.

When she caught sight of the driver’s face, her expression drastically changed, her whole body stiffening. However, before she could take a better look, the car had already driven off.

Fu Yun’s lips trembled as she murmured, “He looks, so much alike…”

She struggled to compare the fleeting figure with the person in her memory, trying to find the similarities.

The next second, a piercing headache crashed over her like a tsunami, intense enough to bring out beads of sweat on her forehead and turn her complexion snow-white.

The driver, startled by the sudden turn of events, rushed to support Fu Yun, “Madam, are you okay? What’s wrong…?”

Fu Yun’s vision darkened, and she fainted.

The driver, terrified by this abrupt emergency, froze for a moment before carefully placing Fu Yun on the back seat and then hurried back to the hotel.

…

When Jiang Jing returned to the private room, her face was extremely unsightly, as if she had been dealt a heavy blow.

Xu Qiao was startled by her trance-like demeanor and quickly stood up, asking, “Jingjing, what’s wrong? Did Madam Huo say something to you?”

She was fine when she went out, but when she came back, it was like she had lost her soul.

Jiang Jing stared at Xu Qiao silently, her eyes very calm.

So calm that it made Xu Qiao even more uneasy, “Don’t scare Mama, okay? Just say what’s wrong. With Mama here, you won’t be wronged.”

This statement seemed to hit Jiang Jing’s breaking point as she completely lost control and hysterically screamed, “The wrongs I’m enduring now are all because of you!”

Xu Qiao looked shocked, seemingly not expecting Jiang Jing to yell at her and could only stare blankly at Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing said in anguish, “The opportunity I finally got is going to be ruined because of you. Why did you have to sling mud at Qiao Yun in the first place?”

Xu Qiao replied frantically, “Why bring up that again? Didn’t Mama explain it to you before? I just didn’t want you to be laughed at, so I had to pin the blame on her.”

Jiang Jing let out a cold laugh, “Now, in Yuncheng, am I not a laughing stock? Do you realize Aunt Fu knows about these things now?”

Xu Qiao breathed a sigh of relief, “I thought something serious happened. So what if she knows, what’s the big deal?”

Jiang Jing felt despondent, “Aunt Fu was nice to me because she thought I was pure and kind, but I know I’m not, so I had to keep pretending with her. Now that she knows, do you think she will still be nice to me?”

Xu Qiao hadn’t considered this and became panicked, “What should we do then?”

Jiang Jing sat down dejectedly, her gaze empty, “I don’t know.”

“How did it come to this?” Xu Qiao truly didn’t understand, “Everything was fine, so how did she find out.”

Jiang Jing said bitterly, “It was Qiao Yun who told her.”

Xu Qiao was so furious she nearly keeled over, “Is she specifically targeting you? Why does she always have to ruin your prospects?”

Jiang Jing felt the same way, believing that Qiao Yun wanted to crush her into dust.

Feeling sorry for her daughter and guilty, Xu Qiao said, “If I had known you would meet Fu Yun, I wouldn’t have meddled in the first place. But what does this have to do with you? It was all my doing. What century is this to still have collective punishment?”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jing’s expression paused for a moment, her eyes shifted as if she thought of something, and her face relaxed slightly.

“I’ll find a way to solve this. No matter what, I won’t let this opportunity slip away.”

Xu Qiao didn’t understand how Jiang Jing planned to resolve the issue, but she always believed in her daughter and that was still the case now.

Yet, in her heart, she made a note of Qiao Yun.

…

In the car.

Pei Yao concentrated on driving while talking business with Qiao Yun, “Most of the invited guests have arrived; Yuncheng is going to be lively for a while.”

Qiao Yun wasn’t very interested in that, but there was something she cared about slightly, “Have you seen Huo Lin?”

Pei Yao touched his nose, “Not yet. Anyway, I’ll see him at the press conference. Why would I go see him when I’m not busy and we don’t know each other?”

One was in K Harbor and the other in Beijing; they moved in different circles. Plus, with his intention, they indeed had never met.

Qiao Yun simply responded with an “Oh” and didn’t continue asking, only instructing, “Tell me if anything comes up.”

“Sure,” Pei Yao was inwardly delighted.

Professor Qiao did care about him after all.

“There is one thing.” Pei Yao frowned slightly, displeased, “I found out that Adrian actually came at the Huo Family’s invitation, and they really can’t seem to stay out of trouble.”

Qiao Yun nodded, not very surprised.

To be able to sit in the Family Head’s position, Huo Lin couldn’t just be any pushover.

Pei Yao smiled and said, “He just wants to reclaim some face, after all, Tianqi breaching the Huo Research Institute is now known by everyone in the circle. It’s better this way, an open challenge is always preferable to sneaky maneuvers.”

It would be more troublesome if it were like Huo Chi, who played underhanded schemes behind the scenes.
