Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 483 - Chapter 483 Chapter 483 Clearing Up Misunderstandings

Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Clearing Up Misunderstandings Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Clearing Up Misunderstandings Su Qingqing rarely felt distressed, but after much contemplation, she decided to first figure things out before proceeding.

If there is a first time, there will be a second time. If they could come find her once today, there could surely be a second time.

Qiao Yun would continually be troubled.

It was essential to solve the issue from its root.

Su Qingqing considered Qiao Yun weaker and in need of protection, so she did not want her to face too much trouble.

Qiao Yun was currently chatting with Zhou You on her phone.

“I’ve already had someone investigate who they are.”

“Good,” Qiao Yun typed on the screen, “Check if it’s the Lu Family’s rival.”

If they targeted her because of her identity as Miss of the Lu Family, it was very likely they meant to target the Lu Family, and she needed to be prepared.

“Received.”

Qiao Yun then asked, “Tell me about what just happened.”

Mentioning the incident got Zhou You somewhat agitated, and even his words became plentiful.

“Professor Qiao, your cousin must have trained in martial arts. Just now, she picked up a badminton racket and whacked everyone, one by one. Those on the other side probably didn’t expect her to strike, and they were knocked down before they could react.”

Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow and looked up at Su Qingqing, who appeared frail, unsure how to react.

“Seeing how ferocious she was, this surely wasn’t her first fight.”

“Understood, don’t tell anyone else.”

“Okay.”

Qiao Yun put down her phone, her eyes unblinkingly fixed on Su Qingqing, her thoughts unreadable.

Su Qingqing noticed Qiao Yun’s probing gaze and asked, “Cousin, what’s wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?”

Qiao Yun thought to herself that she could be mistaken at times.

“Are you hurt?”

“Are you concerned about me?”

Su Qingqing’s voice was tender, “I’m not hurt. Actually, I really didn’t understand what was happening just now; it might have been an instinctual reaction to danger. Normally, I’m not like this.”

Ha, as if those two trash could stand against me?

Qiao Yun uttered an “oh,” neither believing nor disbelieving.

She couldn’t fathom Su Qingqing’s thoughts.

Ah, humans are indeed very complex.

Su Qingqing then drove Li Miao home.

After Li Miao got out of the car, she sweetly said, “Sister Su, I’m sorry, I misunderstood you.”

Being a straightforward person, she had been wary of Su Qingqing thinking she disliked Qiao Yun and had apologized immediately after being protected.

Su Qingqing realized, “So you misunderstood me?”

No wonder she was so cautious around her.

“You always play thrilling games with Qiaoqiao, I thought you didn’t like her and wanted to make fun of her, but now I realize I was wrong.”

Su Qingqing’s eyelids twitched violently.

Could the sister have misunderstood too?

I’m not, I didn’t! I just wanted my sister to act spoiled!

Su Qingqing was too embarrassed to state her true intentions and earnestly explained to Qiao Yun, “Cousin, I don’t dislike you.”

“Mhm.” Qiao Yun didn’t say much, “I know.”

If she disliked her, she wouldn’t have instinctively protected her.

Su Qingqing breathed a sigh of relief.

“Then why do you insist on playing thrilling games with Qiaoqiao? It’s very easy to be misunderstood,” Li Miao asked.

Su Qingqing’s eyes darted away, and she replied in a hurt tone, “Actually, I like playing, but I have few friends and no one to play with. This time, I finally found someone to join me. If cousin doesn’t like it, next time I’ll just play alone.”

After the recent incident, Qiao Yun knew she might be pretending, but still responded, “Okay.”

Su Qingqing was taken aback, she agreed?

“I will also play with you. Next time you come to Shangjing City, you can look for me,” Li Miao felt that Su Qingqing was pitiful, having hardly any friends.

Su Qingqing sniffled and nodded heavily.

Qiao Yun instructed Li Miao, “Don’t tell your brother.”

Just like Li Hanzhou would worry about her, she also didn’t want Li Hanzhou to worry because of her issues.

“Don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell,” she assured.

Between her brother and Qiaoqiao, she would of course choose to listen to Qiaoqiao.

…

When Li Miao returned home, she just happened to run into Li Hanzhou.

She instinctively felt guilty and said with extra cuteness, “Brother, are you going out?”

Li Hanzhou paused his steps, smiled at Li Miao, and said, “Go on.”

“What?” Li Miao was confused.

Li Hanzhou settled on the sofa, his gaze fixed on Li Miao, “Tell me, what guilty deed have you done now?”

“I haven’t!” Li Miao exclaimed loudly.

When had she ever done something guilty? She didn’t know about it.

Li Hanzhou reminded her, “Every time you’re hiding something, you call me ‘brother.’ Behind my back, you call me ‘Great Demon King.'”

Li Miao: “…”

Oh no, the Great Demon King knows I call him Great Demon King. Am I going to get hit?

“I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

After saying that, Li Miao turned and ran towards the stairs.

Li Hanzhou, quick reflexes at play, grabbed the collar of her clothing, “Since it’s not something guilty, then something else must have happened.”

Thinking this, he furrowed his brow, his expression turning cold as he asked, “Has someone bullied you?”

“…” Li Miao stuttered, “No.”

Li Hanzhou loosened the grip on the back of Li Miao’s collar, watched her for a while, and then ruffled her hair, “Go on, then.”

Li Miao thought she had managed to deceive him and ran off faster than a rabbit.

Li Hanzhou’s lips tightened as he pulled out his phone and made a call, instructing someone to investigate what had happened to Li Miao that day.

Based on Li Miao’s personality, if she had really been bullied, the first thing she would do upon reaching home was complain to him.

Her being so tight-lipped this time meant someone must have told her not to speak.

Li Hanzhou naturally thought of Qiao Yun.

Since Li Miao had gone out with Qiao Yun today, had something unpleasant happened to them?

This speculation made Li Hanzhou very displeased.

No matter how strong Qiao Yun was, in his heart, she always needed someone to protect her.

…

Su Qingqing safely delivered Qiao Yun home.

“Wait for me…” Qiao Yun suddenly said.

Before Su Qingqing could react, Qiao Yun had already run inside, leaving her puzzled and waiting outside.

“Qiaoqiao, you’re back,” Su Mian observed Qiao Yun’s hurried silhouette, “Why so rushed?”

“Something’s up,” Qiao Yun ran to the kitchen, took out the paper cupcake she had made that day from the refrigerator, and packed it neatly into a pretty box.

Seeing this, Su Mian asked with curiosity, “Qiaoqiao, are you giving this to someone?”

“Yes,” Qiao Yun said, “For Su Qingqing.”

Surprised, Su Mian smiled, “It seems you two get along quite well.”

Qiao Yun pondered for a moment, then nodded, “Very well.”

Her attitude towards Su Qingqing was actually very distant, as for her, the uncle’s family were all strangers.

However, Su Qingqing had never wronged her and had even protected her.

So, that also counted as getting along very well.

“Is that so, that’s good,” Su Mian was glad that Qiao Yun was getting along well with her maternal family.

She thought contentedly that her precious daughter was also trying hard to blend into this family and wasn’t constantly pushing them away.

Qiao Yun handed the cake box to Su Qingqing, “For you, a thank you gift.”

Completely taken aback, Su Qingqing paused for a moment, then a warm smile spread across her face, somewhat shyly she said, “A gift for me?”
