Chapter 487 - Chapter 487 Chapter 487 The Unlucky Zhou Family

Chapter 487: Chapter 487 The Unlucky Zhou Family Chapter 487: Chapter 487 The Unlucky Zhou Family Su Fan hemmed and hawed, “There’s something I want to talk to you about. If you’re free, how about we meet up? It’s better to talk about this face to face.”

Qiao Yun wasn’t foolish; she keenly sensed something and straightforwardly asked, “Being troubled, does it have to do with you guys?”

Su Fan opened his mouth and admitted, “Sorry, this was your aunt’s fault. She shouldn’t have gone in front of the Zhou Family spouting nonsense, leading them to mistakenly believe you know Qiao Xun.”

Only then did Qiao Yun understand that the Zhou Family sought her out because of Ye Miaoshan.

It is indeed difficult to see Qiao Xun; he often stays in his lab and won’t meet with any patients unless he wishes to.

The Zhou Family must have been desperately searching for help out of anxiety for their illness.

After thinking it over, Qiao Yun went straight to Su Mian and handed her the phone.

Her thoughts were simple: these were Su Mian’s relatives, and Su Mian had the right to know about the matter.

Su Mian was knitting a sweater, having taken a keen interest in knitting various things ever since she found out that Qiao Yun really liked the hat she had made for her.

Suddenly being handed the phone, she was a bit stunned and subconsciously took it.

Seeing that Qiao Yun wasn’t speaking, Su Fan thought she was angry and hurriedly explained.

“Qiaoqiao, your aunt just loves gossiping; she didn’t mean any harm, and she had no idea the Zhou Family would come to you because of what she said…”

“What did you say?”

Su Mian’s voice was angry, “The Zhou Family sought out Qiaoqiao, and it’s because of my sister-in-law’s doing?”

Su Fan: ???

No, why did the person change suddenly???

Su Mian demanded sternly, “Explain to me clearly what happened. What nonsense did Ye Miaoshan spout this time?”

“Big sister, don’t be angry, please.”

“How can I possibly not be angry? What if something happened to Qiaoqiao?”

“Ah, it’s Miaoshan’s fault. I have already scolded her, and she knows she was wrong. She will also clarify things with the Zhou Family.”

“She knows shit!” Su Mian cursed, irrefutably saying, “Let’s meet and talk.”

It was impossible to explain clearly over the phone; she wanted to confront Ye Miaoshan in person.

Su Fan was inwardly conflicted; torn between his sister and his wife, it wouldn’t be good for him to side with either if they started arguing.

After hanging up the phone, Su Mian hugged Qiao Yun tightly, holding her close in her arms.

“Qiaoqiao, it’s Mom’s fault.”

Her own family had caused people to seek out Qiaoqiao; if something happened to her, she would have no face to continue being Qiaoqiao’s mother.

“It has nothing to do with you.” Qiao Yun didn’t move.

Knowing that Su Mian must be feeling terrible, she didn’t reject the embrace.

“How can it have nothing to do with me? They are my family, and they almost caused you harm.”

“Their fault, you feel no pain.”

Qiao Yun wasn’t good at comforting others, but it was indeed Ye Miaoshan’s fault.

The understanding her daughter showed made Su Mian’s heart sour.

“Mom will stand up for you.”

It didn’t matter how Ye Miaoshan judged her; her daughter couldn’t be hurt.

…

The Lu Group welcomed a visitor.

It was the steward from the second young master of the Zhou Family.

The steward came to apologize on behalf of the second young master.

Yesterday, they attempted to invite the young miss of the Lu Family to inquire about Qiao Xun, but since they couldn’t reach her, they let it be.

Then, in the middle of the night, a significant portion of the second young master’s business in Shangjing City went south; if not that, they faced some issues.

Currently, an urgent shipment of theirs is being detained at the port.

They naturally associated these troubles with the Lu Family.

These coincidences were too aligned not to be connected to the Lu Family.

That’s when they realized they had kicked an iron plate and angered someone they shouldn’t have.

Lu Rui and Lu Jingzhi were both at the company, and upon learning why Zhou Family’s butler had come knocking, they immediately told him to get lost without a second word.

It was true that the Zhou Family was a local tyrant in Yuncheng, but Shangjing City was Lu Family’s turf, and they were not afraid of the Zhou Family.

They had the audacity to trouble Qiao Yun and still hoped for the Lu Family’s forgiveness, which was simply impossible!

Later, Lu Rui called home to inquire about the incident and found out that it was Ye Miaoshan who had caused the trouble.

He was immediately upset and wanted to settle accounts with his brother-in-law.

However, in the end, Su Mian persuaded him to let it go because she wanted to handle it herself.

Since it was her own family, she insisted on dealing with it personally.

Seeing this, Lu Rui had no choice but to abandon his plans to personally teach his brother-in-law a lesson.

“This is simply intolerable!” Lu Rui exclaimed with displeasure.

“Dad, we can’t just let them off the hook,” Lu Jingzhi was also very unhappy, “They need to be taught a lesson.”

Although Zhou Ershao had not caused any harm to Qiao Yun, his uninvited way of summoning her was outright offensive.

“The Lu Family doesn’t just sit back and swallow insults!”

Lu Rui told Lu Jingzhi to find some trouble for Zhou Ershao, to let him know that the Lu Family was not to be messed with.

Not to mention touching his daughter.

…

Lu Zhanxing learned from Su Mian about the foolish thing Zhou Ershao had done.

He anxiously asked Qiao Yun, “Sister, are you really not hurt?”

“No,” Qiao Yun crouched down, placing her hands gently on Lu Zhanxing’s injured leg, caressing it softly, “Don’t be angry.”

Lu Zhanxing couldn’t help but laugh, “I’m not angry anymore.”

“Does it still hurt?” Qiao Yun lifted her face, changing the subject.

“No, it doesn’t hurt anymore,” Lu Zhanxing smiled, “I went to the hospital yesterday, and I can have the stitches removed before the New Year, then I’ll just need to slowly rehabilitate.”

“You need to recover quickly.”

Qiao Yun thought about her upcoming end-of-term exams and then the winter break, “Get well, and then we can go out and have fun together.”

“Okay,” Lu Zhanxing promised Qiao Yun.

His sister’s way of changing the subject might be clumsy, but it was endearing nonetheless.

Lu Zhanxing felt some of his anger fade away.

At least this time his sister wasn’t injured, and the other party just wanted to talk to her, albeit in an overly forceful manner.

Nonetheless.

Lu Zhanxing turned and contacted Xie Ying with a mischievous smile, “Didn’t you gossip with me before that a certain little celebrity clung to Zhou Family’s Ershao to get so many resources?”

“Yeah, why are you suddenly asking about this?”

“Just asking,” said Lu Zhanxing.

Having received the answer he wanted.

Lu Zhanxing contacted a gossip agency that he had been working with and had them expose this matter.

Zhou Ershao had a wife, and this news would be enough to keep him frantically busy.

…

Meanwhile, Ye Miaoshan was meeting with Zhou Ershao’s wife at a coffee shop.

She was reluctant to come; after all, it was her who claimed Qiao Yun knew Qiao Xun, but then it quickly turned out to be a misunderstanding.

It was like slapping herself in the face.

Yet thinking of her daughter’s future reputation, she felt compelled to come and explain.

As soon as they met.

Ye Miaoshan hadn’t yet figured out how to explain herself when she saw Zhou Ershao’s normally haughty wife suddenly lower her stance and say to her.

“Mrs. Su, it was our fault, our bad. We shouldn’t have gone to Miss Lu without permission. Could you please speak to the Lu Family on our behalf and ask for their forgiveness? We will offer them appropriate compensation.”

Ye Miaoshan looked surprised, “Mrs. Zhou, what happened? What has the Lu Family done to you?”

Mrs. Zhou spoke with a hint of tiredness on her face.
