Chapter 897 - Chapter 897 Chapter 897 Qiao Yun Cold and Fierce Dont Touch

Chapter 897: Chapter 897 Qiao Yun Cold and Fierce: Don’t Touch Him Chapter 897: Chapter 897 Qiao Yun Cold and Fierce: Don’t Touch Him The faces of everyone in the Jiang Family couldn’t help but look awkward.

Huo Lin’s attitude was really open to speculation.

So what if he recognized Fu Yun as his godmother? What mattered most was Huo Lin’s opinion, and judging by the current situation, Huo Lin didn’t seem to value her as Jiang Jing had said; it was just Jiang Jing’s wishful thinking.

Xu Qiao couldn’t stand being scrutinized like this and tried to smooth things over, “Mr. Huo, since you’re already here, why not wait until the ceremony is over before leaving…”

“I’m in a hurry,” Huo Lin said. His voice was neither cold nor warm, almost genteel, but his eyes were quite imposing.

He had assertively secured the position of Family Head of the Huo Family, proving he was a competent and perceptive man.

He was well aware of the Jiang Family’s thoughts; as long as Jiang Jing could make his mother happy, he was unwilling to interfere, but that didn’t mean he personally had to be close with the Jiang Family.

The atmosphere around them turned awkward.

Just how urgent could his business be to deem it more important than recognizing his god-sister?

Seeing that Huo Lin really was about to leave,

Jiang Jing’s mind went blank; all she knew was that Huo Lin couldn’t go. If he left, she would become the subject of gossip again.

She suppressed the anger, unwillingness, and resentment in her heart, composed herself, and spoke naturally, “Brother, wait, there might be some misunderstanding.”

Huo Lin paused in his step and turned to look at Jiang Jing.

Whether it was an illusion or not, Jiang Jing thought she saw a fleeting sneer in Huo Lin’s eyes, her cheeks burning with mortification, feeling momentarily as if her throat had been blocked.

In that moment, Jiang Jing realized all too clearly that Huo Lin probably knew her ulterior motives.

She felt like a clown.

Xu Qiao, on the other hand, reacted quickly, hastening to say, “Yes, yes, there was indeed a small misunderstanding due to some issues we had with Mr. Li before, but what kind of relatives hold grudges overnight?” She pulled Jiang Shaocheng along as she spoke.

“Shaocheng, aren’t you going to invite Mr. Li over? He might just be waiting for you to give him an out.”

If it weren’t for Huo Lin’s presence, Jiang Shaocheng’s face would probably be stretched long; he had never been so embarrassed in his life.

Fu Yun knew Huo Lin wanted to meet Li Hanzhou and Qiao Yun for her sake and hurriedly said, “If there’s a misunderstanding, let’s clear it up quickly, don’t ruin the relationship.”

Her thoughts then turned to Fu Yao.

Fu Yao had misunderstood her intentions so deeply from the start, which led to her ruthless attitude, and Fu Yun deeply regreted not explaining the pros and cons to Fu Yao properly.

Jiang Jing’s eyes were filled with grievance as she gazed faintly at Jiang Shaocheng.

Jiang Shaocheng sighed inwardly, acquiescing to their wishes, “Mrs. Huo, Mr. Huo, I’ll excuse myself first then.”

If possible, he didn’t want to break ties with the Li Family. Maybe a few kind words from him could turn things around.

“I’ll come with you.”

Xu Qiao was worried that Jiang Shaocheng wouldn’t speak properly and might make things worse.

Huo Lin laughed enigmatically, thinking that for his mother’s sake, he could wait a little longer.

…

In the private room.

Qiao Se was leaning in and speaking to Qiao Yun, “Are you planning to leave again after coming back this time?”

As soon as he said this, the Su Family and Lu Family members all looked at Qiao Yun nervously, afraid that she would say she was not leaving.

Qiao Yun hummed in affirmation, “I’m leaving.”

Su Mian breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Mr. Qiao, don’t worry, we will definitely take good care of Qiaoqiao.”

Qiao Se deliberately said, “If Qiaoqiao was at my place, I could also take good care of her. After all, I’ve watched her grow up; no one understands her better than I do.”

“This…” Su Mian was taken aback by Qiao Se’s serious demeanor, thinking he really wanted to persuade Qiao Yun to leave, feeling anxious in her heart, and quickly searching her mind for a way to reassure Mr. Qiao.

Li Hanzhou chuckled softly, “Mr. Qiao, you might as well give up; Qiaoqiao wouldn’t bear to leave me.”

Qiao Se glared at Li Hanzhou and said brusquely, “Who asked you to speak?”

He was not yet willing to acknowledge this man as his granddaughter’s husband.

Li Hanzhou made a pitiful face at Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun sighed helplessly at Qiao Se and said in a tender voice, “Don’t scare people.”

Qiao Se: “…”

It was over, the broadcast had taken a wrong turn.

Qiao Xun served Qiao Se a helping of vegetables, “Dad, that’s enough.”

“Grandfather Qiao, at your age, why do you still enjoy scaring people?” Pei Ya said, speechless.

Qiao Se glared at him, “It’s all because you’re so useless.”

Pei Ya: ??? What does this have to do with me?

Qiao Se snorted and said cheerfully to Qiao Yun, “Seeing how afraid they are that I’ll take you away puts my mind at ease.”

Lu Zhanxing sweet-talked, “My sister is so good, so cute, who wouldn’t mind parting with her?”

“Right, right,” Qiao Se said, beaming before becoming sentimental, “After this, we won’t be able to see each other often.”

Unable to help it, Qiao Yun lifted the corners of her mouth slightly, “It’s not like I won’t come back.”

Qiao Se’s demeanor returned to normal as he said, “When you have time, come back to the old house. The little ones at home, even though they’re afraid of you, actually like you a lot. You’ll be gone for so long, they might not say it, but they’ll be thinking of you.”

Qiao Yun agreed, “Okay.”

The Su Family watched, feeling moved, the Qiao Family really did value Qiao Yun.

At that moment, there was a knock on the private room door.

Everyone’s attention was drawn to it, and then the door was pushed open.

Xu Qiao and Jiang Shaocheng walked in, to see not only Li Hanzhou and Qiao Yun but also people from the Su Family, Qiao Family, and Lu Family; they couldn’t help but be surprised.

Xu Qiao couldn’t help thinking, the Jiang Family was hosting an important banquet here today, was this gathering in the same place deliberate?

Her face turned extremely ugly.

Su Fan was the first to speak, “Yo, Old Jiang, what brings you here? Aren’t you supposed to be having a banquet next door? Why has it ended so soon?”

Jiang Shaocheng gritted his teeth inwardly, ignoring Su Fan’s mocking, and said to Li Hanzhou with a sheepish smile, “Mr. Li, since everyone is here, why not come over for a drink? If there’s anything I’ve done wrong before, I apologize to you.”

He lowered his stance very much.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curled in a smile that was not quite a smile as he spoke unhurriedly, “It seems my words were not clear enough. Do I need to repeat myself?”

Jiang Shaocheng’s face turned red, flushed with shame.

Xu Qiao smiled and said, “We’re all relatives, there’s no need to make it so ugly.”

Li Hanzhou idly played with Qiao Yun’s hand, not even glancing at them, “Relatives just because they show up uninvited?”

The smile on Xu Qiao’s face froze. That comment was essentially saying the Jiang Family had no shame.

Li Hanzhou’s attitude was clear; he was not willing to acknowledge the Jiang Family as relatives.

Xu Qiao clearly felt offended and wanted to say something more, but was held back by Jiang Shaocheng, who still cared about face, and forced a smile, “We’ve intruded.”

With that, regardless of Xu Qiao’s struggles, he forcefully led her away.

Li Hanzhou helplessly stroked Qiao Yun’s nose, “Little troublemaker.”

Qiao Yun muttered, “I’m not a troublemaker.”

Li Hanzhou pinched Qiao Yun’s hand, “They came personally to appease Huo Lin, in the end, it’s all because of you.”

“Oh,” Qiao Yun didn’t even bat an eyelid.

Li Hanzhou said, “If he knew Grandfather Qiao was also here, he probably would have come over himself.”

Huo Lin obviously had no idea what he was missing out on.

Qiao Se also remembered Huo Lin and snorted, “If he wants to seek someone out, he should come to me, not Xiaoqiao.”

Qiao Xun reminded him, “Dad, wasn’t it you who refused his request for medical help?”

Qiao Se coughed lightly, “Who told him to be a Huo Family member.”

Qiao Yun knew Qiao Se was against the Huo Family because of her, and she didn’t try to persuade him.

The Second Grandfather had the right to choose his patients.

…

Jiang Shaocheng left with a dark face, casting Xu Qiao aside.

Xu Qiao hurried over and complained, “What’s the matter with you? I hadn’t even finished speaking, and you were in such a rush to leave. How are we supposed to explain this to Mr. Huo now? Can’t you see who his goal was this time? I think you just don’t care about Jingjing at all.”

Jiang Shaocheng stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her, angrily replying, “Could it be that it’s all your own clever doing?”

Xu Qiao defended herself, “Wasn’t I just trying to get the Li Family to come and support Jingjing? How was I supposed to know they would be so heartless? Not one came after saying they wouldn’t. Pah, what a waste of all the gifts I sent to the Li family every holiday.”

Jiang Shaocheng really didn’t know what to say.

Was she the only one who gave gifts?

Hadn’t the Li Family given any in return?

“What do we do now?” Xu Qiao fretted.

Jiang Shaocheng’s brows furrowed deeply as he replied, “As long as Mrs. Huo values Jiang Jing, the situation won’t look too bad.”

Xu Qiao thought about it and agreed.

Although Huo Lin’s attitude was embarrassing, as long as Fu Yun’s attitude towards Jiang Jing remained unchanged, it would be fine.

…

After returning to the banquet, Huo Lin indeed left with lack of interest upon not seeing Jiang Shaocheng bring Li Hanzhou and Qiao Yun over.

Jiang Jing bit her lip hard, her hands clenched tightly, yet she still stood tall with a straight spine.

It was clear to discerning eyes that Huo Lin’s attitude towards Jiang Jing was that she was dispensable.

Yet there were still those who lacked tact, approaching Jiang Jing, “Cousin, why did Mr. Huo leave? The recognition ceremony hasn’t even started yet.”

Jiang Jing replied irritably, “Didn’t you hear him say he had urgent matters to attend to?”

Xu Lu, rebuffed, looked a little upset.

It was someone else who bluntly said, “I just heard it; he was here for Qingqing’s cousin; now that she has not shown up, he naturally left.”

Jiang Jing’s face turned even paler as she heard whispers around her.

“Why do I feel that compared to Jiang Jing, Mr. Huo values Qiao Yun more?”

“Wasn’t it Jiang Jing who said that it was Mr. Huo who proposed to host the banquet? What’s really going on here?”

Jiang Jing’s eyes were so red they seemed to bleed.

She intended to use the banquet to prove herself, but bizarrely, she ended up being overshadowed by the absent Qiao Yun.

What was the point of this banquet!

…

Elsewhere.

Pei Yao glanced at the time, stood up, and bade everyone farewell, “I still have things to handle at the research institute; please continue without me, I’m leaving.”

Su Mian also got up, “Let me see you out.”

Pei Yao hurriedly said, “I’m a grown man, I don’t need an escort.”

“No matter how grown, you are still younger than me,” Su Mian responded warmly.

The Su Family members were shocked, wow, auntie/sister is treating Pei Yao like a junior member, that’s Shengqiao’s CEO, where does she get the courage?

The one who gave Su Mian courage, Qiao Yun said, “I’ll go, mom, you sit.”

Pei Yao was actually a bit nervous facing the Lu Family members, so as soon as Qiao Yun offered to see him off, he quickly grabbed Qiao Yun and left.

Walking down the corridor, Pei Yao spoke with a sense of relief, “Boss, your family is too enthusiastic, I’m not quite used to it.”

No sooner had he finished speaking, than they heard someone calling, “Jiujiu!”

Both Pei Yao and Qiao Yun failed to react immediately when a woman blocked their path.

When Pei Yao saw who it was, his expression subtly changed.

Fu Yun, having stepped out to take a phone call and just about to return to the banquet, saw Pei Yao.

She was struck as if by lightning, her colorless face turned ashen, her body trembling, hardly believing what she saw.

This person, he looked too much alike!

Especially those eyes, the same as those of Fu Yao, and hers.

Their family seemed to inherit it, as the eyes of each generation looked the same.

Fu Yun stood there woodenly, her emotions rollercoastering.

It wasn’t until he was nearly out of sight that she stepped forward to block him.

A moment of surprise flashed across Pei Yao’s face, but it quickly disappeared, “Please step aside.”

“Are you Jiujiu?” Overcome with a headache, Fu Yun said emotionally, “I’m your aunt, don’t you recognize me?”

“You’ve got the wrong person.” Pei Yao said as he tried to walk around her.

“Impossible!”

Fu Yun suddenly screamed.

It scared Pei Yao considerably.

“I can’t possibly be mistaken, your eyes are exactly like your mother’s, and yes, I remember you have a scar on your chest…”

As she spoke, she tried to reach out and pull at Pei Yao’s clothes, but just as her hand stretched out, it was grabbed by another delicate hand.

Fu Yun turned to look, “Is it you?”

She hadn’t noticed Qiao Yun before, and a look of surprise appeared in her eyes.

Qiao Yun looked at her indifferently, her lips parted, “Don’t touch him.”

Her voice was both cold and fierce.

It carried an unmistakable protectiveness.

Pei Yao was taken aback by Professor Qiao’s ferocity

Fu Yun’s face turned white, she croaked, “I’m his aunt, why can’t I touch him, get out of my way.”

Qiao Yun’s black and white eyes gazed deeply at her: “Don’t make noise, or I’ll knock you out.”

It was the first time Fu Yun had been threatened by a junior, and she was too shocked to respond, so she could only stare at Qiao Yun blankly.

Pei Yao didn’t want Professor Qiao to dirty her hands and hurriedly said, “Let’s go, don’t mind this crazy woman.”

With that, he quickly pulled Qiao Yun away.

“I’m not a crazy woman…” Fu Yun wanted to follow, but waves of sharp pain came, and she leaned against the wall, watching helplessly as they left.

“Godmother, what’s wrong with you?” Jiang Jing came out to inform Fu Yun that the ceremony was about to begin, but she was startled to see Fu Yun’s pained expression.

Fu Yun, supported by Jiang Jing, pointed weakly ahead: “That is…”

Jiang Jing looked at Qiao Yun’s retreating figure, malice in her eyes: “That’s Qiao Yun, and Shengqiao’s Director Pei, Pei Yao.”

“Pei Yao, Pei Yao…”

Fu Yun muttered to herself.

Eventually, she couldn’t hold up any longer and fainted.

Jiang Jing panicked.

Xu Qiao and Jiang Shaocheng, who came out when they heard the commotion, were also stunned.

Wait a minute…

The person fainted, how would the banquet go on??

…

The banquet eventually did not take place as one of the main characters fainted midway.

Although it wasn’t successful, that didn’t stop everyone from eagerly discussing the event.

Huo Lin left halfway, and Fu Yun actually fainted.

This drama was quite spectacular, many people relished the Jiang Family’s embarrassment.

Especially Jiang Jing, who lost face in the circle once again.
