Chapter 485 - Chapter 485 Chapter 485 Qiaoqiaos Disappearance Is Also

Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Qiaoqiao’s Disappearance Is Also Related to You Chapter 485: Chapter 485: Qiaoqiao’s Disappearance Is Also Related to You Su Fan was shocked and angry upon seeing Ye Miaoshan’s reaction, “Did you really say that? Ye Miaoshan, what on earth were you thinking?”

Ye Miaoshan, who was initially feeling guilty, got upset when Su Fan angrily called her by her full name.

“What is with your attitude? Are you angry with me for Qiao Yun’s sake? I am your wife, she’s just your niece, who actually is your family!”

“I’m not discussing who is family right now; I’m asking you why you had to say such things publicly?”

Previously, Ye Miaoshan’s minor complaints seemed trivial, and he hadn’t taken them seriously, but this time it was different. The Zhou Family had approached Qiao Yun because of what Ye Miaoshan had said.

If he continued to turn a blind eye, what if it caused a problem, how would he explain it to Su Mian?

“I just ran into the young lady of the Zhou Family and chatted with her casually; how was I to know the Zhou Family would approach Qiao Yun.”

Ye Miaoshan felt aggrieved and retorted irritably, “Why are you blaming me? If you’re so capable, why don’t you go and confront the Zhou Family yourself.”

Seeing that she still didn’t grasp the severity of the situation, Su Fan pressed her, asking, “What exactly did you say?”

“I just told the truth,” Ye Miaoshan muttered, “I mentioned the last time we were at the restaurant and saw Qiao Yun with Qiao Xun, and also about Zhanxing’s car accident…”

Su Fan was furious, “Why do you say everything? Why don’t you just give away the Su Family’s trade secrets while you’re at it!”

“How are those the same? I’m not stupid, how would I talk about our family’s affairs.”

“So you talk about your elder sister’s family’s affairs?”

“I just thought of it and mentioned it unintentionally, wanting them to be reassured that we have ways to take care of Mrs. Zhou.”

“I told you, you got it wrong, if my elder sister knew Qiao Xun, how could she not help us make connections!”

Ye Miaoshan scoffed, “That’s debatable. What if my elder sister just doesn’t want to owe Qiao Xun a favor?”

Upon hearing Ye Miaoshan’s words, a ridiculous thought flashed through Su Qingyan’s mind.

The last time at Qiao Se Research Institute, he saw Qiao Yun seeking Qiao Xun, thinking she knew Qiao Xun. Later, Lu Zhanxing said Qiao Yun was there on behalf of the Lu Family to thank Qiao Xun.

Now that his mother mentioned seeing Qiao Yun and Qiao Xun at the restaurant together, perhaps their relationship really was good.

So, could his opportunity at the academic exchange be related to Qiao Yun?

And they both shared the surname Qiao.

Su Qingyan thought incredulously, could Qiao Yun have some relation to the Qiao Family?

Su Fan demanded, “Has our elder sister not helped us enough? Now you even put her daughter in danger, this is so ungrateful!”

“This is a law-abiding society; what could the Zhou Family possibly do to Qiao Yun?” Ye Miaoshan didn’t feel there was a severe issue, “And what if Qiao Yun actually knows something?”

“I really don’t know whether to call you naive or just simple.”

Su Fan replied impatiently, “Now, because of what you said, they have approached Qiaoqiao, and who knows what they’ll do next. Anyway, you go and clarify things; my niece knows nothing, it’s all your unfounded chatter.”

Ye Miaoshan glared, “I’m not going, you go if you want.”

“You’re at fault here, so of course you have to go yourself.”

Su Fan declared with no room for objection, “And you need to apologize to Qiaoqiao for making her targeted by others. I’ll call her now. No, it’s better to visit her in person tomorrow to show sincerity.”

Ye Miaoshan exclaimed in disbelief, “Su Fan! You’re making me apologize to a junior? Do I have no dignity?”

“If something goes wrong, what use is your dignity then?” Su Fan rebutted mercilessly.

“Nothing bad has happened yet, right? The fact that big sister hasn’t approached me until now proves that they still don’t know about it. Why should I go and bring it up and let her talk?”

“You’re avoiding the mistake.”

Su Fan disagreed with Ye Miaoshan’s approach. If they kept dragging their feet and hiding it, it would be even less likely for big sister to forgive them if the truth came out.

Admitting the mistake now might still give them a chance to be forgiven.

Ye Miaoshan objected, “It’s big sister who refused to tell me who cured Zhanxing. You can’t blame me for talking nonsense. She’s also a member of the Su Family. It’s unbelievable that she’s unwilling to help now.”

She always thought that since nothing had happened to Qiao Yun, why should she apologize?

Who knew that the Zhou Family would go after Qiao Yun just because of a comment? If she had known, she wouldn’t have gossiped.

Su Fan looked at his wife now and was incredibly frustrated.

When they were dating, Ye Miaoshan was also a gentle, knowledgeable girl. How had she become so petty?

“To be honest, big sister has already been very kind to us.”

Su Fan defended Su Mian, “Originally, big sister had asked you to look after Qiaoqiao for a while. It was you who found it troublesome, wanted to go out to meet with friends, and handed Qiaoqiao over to Qin Huan. Otherwise, Qiaoqiao might not have gone missing. After such an incident, did big sister ever blame you? She even told you not to overthink.”

Ye Miaoshan felt guilty whenever this topic was brought up.

Su Qingyan and Su Qingqing had been quietly watching their parents argue, but they hadn’t expected to learn about the concealed story behind Qiao Yun’s disappearance.

Their emotions were mixed for a moment.

“In any case, the origin of today’s issue lies with you, so you must solve it.”

Seeing Su Fan adamant on making her lose face, Ye Miaoshan quickly asked Su Qingyan to persuade Su Fan.

“Qingyan, won’t you quickly persuade your dad? Mom didn’t do it on purpose.”

Su Qingyan sighed, pinched the bridge of his nose, and said, “Mom, you were wrong this time. Apologizing is the right thing to do.”

“You, child, why are you taking sides with outsiders?” Ye Miaoshan scolded him. “How did I give birth to such a useless thing who won’t support his mom at critical moments?”

Su Qingyan’s lips tightened, his eyes darkening. He suddenly stood up, “I have something else to do. I’m going back to school.”

“So I can’t even say a thing or two to you?” Ye Miaoshan was very dissatisfied, “Qingqing, look at your brother. At least you are more obedient.”

Su Qingqing’s eyes suddenly reddened, and her voice trembled, “Mom, will I be disliked?”

“What? Who would dislike you?”

Su Qingqing said weakly, “Because of our family, my cousin is being troubled by the Zhou Family. Will aunt dislike me? Mom, I don’t want to be disliked, I don’t want to be unwelcome.”

“How could that be?” Seeing her daughter like this, Ye Miaoshan couldn’t help but soften.

Her daughter was so sensible and obedient; how could anyone dislike her.

“I still want to go to college in Shangjing City in the future. What if I’m disliked…” Su Qingqing hesitated.

Ye Miaoshan thought, surely Su Mian wouldn’t make things difficult for her own daughter because of this, would she?

Su Mian wasn’t that kind of person.

But what if?

Ye Miaoshan’s thoughts ran wild for a while, the more she thought about it, the more she felt it unacceptable. How could her amazing daughter be disliked because of this?
