Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Immediately Acquiring Su Group Chapter 490: Chapter 490: Immediately Acquiring Su Group “Why don’t we get Qiaoqiao a few bodyguards?” Su Mian worried that this kind of thing might happen again.

She had almost been kidnapped before, was set up in a car accident, and now the Zhou family had popped up.

“No,” Qiao Yun decisively refused.

“Is it because you’re not used to having bodyguards protect you?”

Lu Rui also thought Su Mian had a good idea, “Dad said they would keep their distance from you and not affect your life.”

Qiao Yun said sternly, “No need, I’m fine.”

Su Mian felt a bit helpless seeing how insistent Qiao Yun was.

Lu Zhanxing couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Bodyguards?

Does his sister even need them?

He had seen those assigned to protect his sister, each one physically formidable, clearly very capable.

“Mom and Dad, you’re worrying too much. The Zhou family may mess around, but they won’t really do anything to her unless they want their property confiscated.”

Lu Zhanxing tried to dissuade them.

Seeing this, Lu Rui and Su Mian didn’t bring it up again, mainly because Qiaoqiao seemed quite unhappy about it.

She probably wasn’t used to being followed.

After Lu Jingzhi returned to the company.

Lu Zhanxing quietly asked Qiao Yun, “Sis, are you still mad at Big Brother?”

“No,” Qiao Yun shook her head.

“Not mad? So you’ve forgiven Big Brother? How come you forgave him?”

It was Lu Zhanxing who had hoped Qiao Yun would forgive Lu Jingzhi, and now he was the one surprised and puzzled.

“Not mad, no need to forgive,” Qiao Yun was a bit baffled.

She didn’t really understand the rift between Lu Jingzhi and herself.

Though Lu Jingzhi had been very nice to her recently and didn’t nag at her anymore.

“Huh?” Lu Zhanxing was baffled.

“Don’t mind it.”

Qiao Yun couldn’t exactly clarify her views on Lu Jingzhi–she wasn’t angry or disappointed, just very calm.

She could get along well with Lu Jingzhi, but couldn’t be as close to him as she was with Lu Zhanxing.

Lu Zhanxing felt the sense of distance emanating from his sister again and asked with a hurt expression, “What about me? Do you care about Second Brother?”

“I do,” Qiao Yun said without hesitation.

Most of the familial love she felt came from Lu Zhanxing.

She would choose to stay with the Lu Family largely because she didn’t want Lu Zhanxing to be hurt by her departure.

Lu Zhanxing was happy again.

He thought, as long as my sister cares about me, that’s enough. As for Big Brother… never mind.

…

Before going to sleep.

Qiao Yun asked Pei Ya, “What gift would be equivalent to twenty percent of the Su Family’s shares?”

“Boss, if I may ask, why do you ask this?”

“Mom, you gave me 20 percent of the Su Family’s shares.”

“What?”

Pei Ya’s shock was almost palpable through the screen, “How could my boss own so few shares? Just wait, I’ll acquire Su Group right away.”

Qiao Yun: “…No need.”

“Don’t worry, there’s no group I can’t acquire; bankruptcy is my forte.”

“That’s not it, there’s no need, I don’t want it.”

Qiao Yun quickly averted a financial crisis for the Su Family.

“Is that so, what a pity.”

Qiao Yun suspected Pei Ya just wanted something to kill time.

“You got free time?”

“No, I’m very busy.” She resolutely refused to write it a thousand times.

Qiao Yun thought for a moment, then told Pei Ya, “Give them a few more projects, worth no less than twenty billion.”

Pei Ya felt stifled.

There it was, Professor Qiao would appear, the kind who solves everything with money.

“Boss, you’re always so generous, I’m afraid some people in the Qiao Family might have opinions since they have always been eyeing Shengqiao.”

Qiao Yun coldly indifferent, “Group, money, mine, they have opinions, shut up.”

“Alright.”

Today’s Pei Ya was still the very tactful Pei Ya.

…

Next door.

After who knows how many times Su Mian had turned over in bed, Lu Rui finally asked her, “Wife, are you still not sleeping?”

Su Mian turned to face him and sighed, “Husband, I can’t sleep.”

Lu Rui hummed, “Wife, come and talk to your husband.”

“Husband, my sister-in-law told me today that she saw Qiao Yun and Qiao Xun having a meal together, but then my brother said that she might have seen wrong. Do you think Qiaoqiao could actually know Qiao Xun? And isn’t it a coincidence that they both have the surname Qiao?”

The more Su Mian thought about it, the more something felt off, “Zhanxing just had a car accident, and they were exactly at the hospital, too coincidental, right?”

Lu Rui was slightly stunned, completely awake now, “That should be impossible, Qiao Xun is a member of the Qiao Family, a family full of talents with complex relations, and I haven’t heard of Qiao Sheng having any siblings.”

“If Qiaoqiao really is a member of the Qiao Family, why didn’t anyone from the Qiao Family show up when she came back?”

“That kind of makes sense.”

Su Mian frowned, growing more and more troubled, “I don’t want to think about it anymore, no matter what, Qiaoqiao is my daughter, nobody can take her away.”

“No one is trying to take her, go to sleep.”

Although that’s what he thought.

Su Mian and Lu Rui still felt uneasy in their hearts.

Now they were just looking forward to getting to the New Year quickly because Qiaoqiao promised them that she would take them back to the countryside for a visit then.

At that moment, the Zhou Family was in complete disarray.

Zhou Er Shao and Lady Zhou were part of a powerful marriage alliance, and now this ugly scandal of Zhou Er Shao’s extramarital affair had broken out.

It was creating a huge stir, and news was flying everywhere.

Lady Zhou immediately packed up and went back to her parents’ house.

Most of Zhou Er Shao’s businesses were attained through his wife’s family connections, and now that his wife had left, in his anxiousness, he couldn’t even care about Qiao Yun.

Eventually, Zhou Er Shao had no choice but to call his grandfather, begging him to save his businesses.

Zhou’s grandfather had seven sons, each son had given him several grandsons.

Missing one he wouldn’t care about, having one extra he wouldn’t mind.

The person he cared about the most and loved the most in his life was his wife, who was still lying on her deathbed, barely clinging to life.

After receiving the call, he scolded Zhou Er Shao fiercely, “Good for nothing but trouble, sort this out yourself.”

“Grandpa, I was doing it for grandma.”

Zhou Er Shao protested, “I heard people say that Miss Lu from Beijing’s Lu Family knows Qiao Xun, that’s why I ended up in this mess, how was I to know that the Lu Family would really dare to make a move against me.”

“Foolish.” Grandfather Zhou scolded, “A kid who hasn’t even graduated from high school, knows Qiao Xun? Have you gotten water in your brain?”

Zhou Er Shao said, “I didn’t believe it at first either, but then I retrieved surveillance footage near the restaurant that day, and indeed saw her coming out with Qiao Xun.”

The surveillance footage was limited, he only saw Qiao Yun and Qiao Xun, not seeing that Qiao Se, Lu Zhanxing, and Li Hanzhou were also there that day.

Otherwise, he definitely wouldn’t have approached Qiao Yun.

Compared to the Qiao Family, the family he absolutely couldn’t afford to offend was the Li family, which held immense power both domestically and internationally.

“Qiao Xun is too hard to meet, even grandpa yourself couldn’t invite him, that’s why I thought of trying Miss Lu.”

There was silence on the other end for a long time before he harshly ordered, “I don’t care what you use, what methods, you must make Qiao Xun treat your grandma, he’s the only one who can do it now.”

“But what about Miss Lu’s side?”

“A mere girl, what’s there to be afraid of, she can’t eat you?”
