Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 315: Chapter 315 Qiao Yun Can Bring Benefits to the Lu Family

“Could it be testing us?”

The old man suddenly understood, “Is it because she fears that we will be nice to her only because of Master Qiao’s relationship, so she doesn’t let us know about this matter? She wants to see if our kindness towards her is truly sincere?”

“I think so too.”

Lu Rui felt a sourness in his chest, and a bitter smile appeared on his face.

“Qiaoqiao must have felt uneasy back then, so she prepared a way out for herself, thinking if we weren’t sincerely good to her, she would leave, wouldn’t she?”

The more the two of them speculated, the more they believed this to be the truth.

Actually, Qiao Yun wasn’t that complicated. She just hadn’t interacted with her family before and didn’t know how to explain, plus she wasn’t a talkative person by nature.

Explaining was too exhausting, so she didn’t initiate conversation.

The elder sighed, “Let’s be even better to Qiaoqiao in the future.”

Not because of Old Master Qi or Master Pei behind her, but simply because she is a young lady of the Lu Family.

The elder was perceptive, even though he knew Qiao Yun could bring benefits to the Lu Family and connect them with the Qi Family in Hai City, he never thought about exploiting her.

Lu Rui nodded, “I got it. As for the village, I don’t think we need to investigate it anymore. I guess Master Qiao likes to live in seclusion and doesn’t want to be disturbed, that’s why it’s so hidden.”

The elder, deep in thought, finally decided, “Since we’ve already sent people, it would be great if they find something, but if not, it’s okay too.”

The initial investigation into Qiao Yun was because they knew she was hiding something from them.

Now that they knew what it was, the elder didn’t focus much on the village anymore.

Lu Rui, thinking of the village, felt awkward again.

“Previously, Mianmian and I tried every means to boost the village’s economy, but we were rejected by Qiaoqiao. At the time, we thought she was naive.”

“Looking back now, it wasn’t Qiaoqiao who was naive, it was us. With Master Qiao there, how bad could the village be?”

The elder smiled, “It would be nice to visit the village where Master Qiao lived.”

At that moment, the elder didn’t know that this wish was unlikely to be realized.

The news that Qiao Yun was raised by Qiao An soon spread throughout the entire Lu Family.

The grandmother didn’t understand these matters, so she wasn’t as shocked as the others.

She only knew that her granddaughter had not lived a harsh life after her disappearance and was relieved.

Qin Huan nearly had a heart attack, initially worried about Lu Rui’s family vying for the position of heir, and now another Qiao An had emerged.

The elder would surely cherish Qiao Yun as the apple of his eye.

Qin Huan thought bitterly.

Was Lu Rui’s family blessed by a deity?

How come everything works out for them, even after Qiao Yun was lost, she was so fortunate to be adopted by Qiao An.

…

The fortunate Qiao Yun had already arrived at the Li Family.

“Here, this is for you.”

Qiao Yun handed a glass jar to Li Hanzhou and then looked at him expectantly with her clean, bright eyes.

Since there was no work today, Li Hanzhou was dressed casually at home, wearing a simple black T-shirt and sweatpants, which softened his usually imposing demeanor.

He took the glass jar, still a bit puzzled.

“For me?”

“A return gift for the scarf.” Qiao Yun emphasized, “I folded them by hand, with great care.”

Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but smile lightly.

He brought the glass jar closer to his eyes.

The transparent jar was filled with colorful stars, each one neatly folded, clearly done with care.

Qiao Yun kept her gaze fixed on the smile at the corner of Li Hanzhou’s mouth.

Her heart felt warm and a little happy.

Li Hanzhou asked, “Have you given these to anyone else?”

Qiao Yun shook her head, “No, you’re the first.”

At that, the smile on Li Hanzhou’s face grew broader.

This was something a kid had handmade, and he was the only one who had it.

Li Hanzhou lowered his eyes to meet Qiao Yun’s, slightly bent down, and under the palpable threatening gaze of Pei Ya not far away, gave Qiao Yun a very light hug.

It was Qiao Yun’s first time being hugged like this, and she stiffened, not pushing him away at once.

But Li Hanzhou felt warm.

Li Hanzhou did not linger too long in the embrace and let go after a moment.

“I really like it, I’d like it even more if you sent something else next time.”

“What should I send?” The warmth was gone, and Qiao Yun felt a bit reluctant to let it go.

Li Hanzhou half-joked, “What about sending yourself?”

Qiao Yun uttered a simple, “Okay.”

Li Hanzhou’s smile froze, it took him a long while to react, and before he could feel pleased, he heard Qiao Yun say.

“Just kidding.”

Li Hanzhou: “…”

Qiao Yun blinked, “Why aren’t you laughing?”

Li Hanzhou: “Hehe… Kids, always my nemesis, right?”

Seeing this, Qiao Yun reflected on herself, figuring she probably wasn’t cut out for joking; last time she joked with Li Miao, he thought she was schizophrenic.

After giving the gift, Qiao Yun bid him farewell.

“Are you leaving already?” Li Hanzhou was a bit unwilling to let her go.

“Pei Ya is waiting for me.” Qiao Yun looked back at Pei Ya.

Pei Ya was staring with wide eyes, looking ready to devour Li Hanzhou with his fierce gaze.

Ignoring Pei Ya’s gaze, Li Hanzhou casually said to Qiao Yun, “I found out a small fact, did you know that Gu Ming once saved Lu Jingzhi?”

Qiao Yun paused, “I knew.”

At the time, Lu Jingzhi was almost hit by a car, and it was Gu Ming who saved him, which is how the Gu and Lu families became friends.

“Gu Ming’s assistant at the time transferred three hundred thousand to the car owner two months after the accident.”

Qiao Yun’s eyebrows immediately furrowed.
