Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Spying on Professor Qiao’s Organization Chapter 491: Chapter 491: Spying on Professor Qiao’s Organization “Then what about the business matter…”

“Invite the person over first before we discuss this.”

Old Master Zhou didn’t care at all about his grandson’s business, “Grandfather already said that whoever can find a cure for your grandmother will receive a share of the Zhou Family’s stock.”

Zhou Er Shao’s heart raced, and he quickly said, “Grandfather, rest assured, I’ll make sure this matter is handled properly.”

Old Master Zhou said, “When necessary, unconventional methods can be used.”

The Old Master Zhou was also a person who had been through gunfire and bullets, and he still carried a bandit-like style in the way he conducted business.

Coupled with the Zhou Family’s habit of bullying in Yuncheng, they did not take anyone seriously, let alone a little girl.

After hanging up the phone, Old Master Zhou’s mobile phone rang again.

Someone sent him a message through encrypted communication.

[Mr. Zhou, have you considered it? Are you willing to cooperate with us?]

[You want to cooperate while still hiding your head and tail?]

[We are very sincere, and only Qiao Xun can cure Madam Zhou.]

[What makes me trust you?]

[If you don’t trust us, do you trust Professor Qiao? She has a piece of research that can bring people back from the dead.]

[Ridiculous.]

[Think it over, but Madam Zhou’s life won’t wait for anyone.]

Old Master Zhou put down his phone and looked at his wife lying on the hospital bed, her figure emaciated, her eyes tightly shut.

He squeezed his wife’s hand and said in a heavy tone, “Old woman, don’t worry, I will definitely find Qiao Xun to cure you.”

He did not know which organization eyeing Professor Qiao was, but he did not want to be enemies with the Tianqi Research Institute unless it was absolutely necessary.

…

Ever since he wanted to forcibly bring Qiao Yun over, making his business suffer, Zhou Er Shao dared not be so impulsive again.

After all, he needed to ask for help, so he still had to be polite.

Nevertheless, he naturally did not want to go to the Lu Family to make amends with a smile, or he wouldn’t have just sent a butler to apologize to the Lu Group.

He thought of something, having heard that the young Miss from the Lu Family was brought back from the countryside, she must have limited experience, and he could use money to make a deal.

By casually throwing some money at her, he didn’t believe she wouldn’t be tempted.

However, first, he needed a chance to meet Qiao Yun.

After much thought, he called Ye Miaoshan, “Mrs. Su, there’s a favor I need to ask of you.”

Ye Miaoshan had just been slighted at Su Mian’s place and was quite surprised to receive a call from Zhou Er Shao, “Zhou Shao, what is it?”

“It’s like this, I want to properly apologize to Miss Lu for what happened last time, I was wondering if Mrs. Su could help me arrange a meeting with her?”

Ye Miaoshan was shocked.

Had Zhou Er Shao rusted his brain?

Who was he, and who was Qiao Yun, that he would stoop so low as to apologize to her?

What exactly had the Lu Family done to the Zhou Family?

Ye Miaoshan overturned all her previous perceptions of the Lu Family; they were indeed not as simple as they seemed on the surface.

“It’s a small matter, leave it to me.”

Ye Miaoshan still wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Zhou Family, and this time Zhou Er Shao was approaching her openly and decently, unlike his previous rudeness.

Zhou Er Shao spoke indifferently, “Then I’ll trouble Mrs. Su with this.”

After agreeing, Ye Miaoshan found herself in a difficult position.

She was very much aware that Qiao Yun was unlikely to meet her.

So, she approached Su Qingqing and discussed, “Qingqing, you will return to Yuncheng tomorrow. When you do, invite your cousin out, and let’s all have a meal together.”

“Mom, why do you suddenly have this idea?” Su Qingqing was suspicious.

Didn’t her mom come back very angry just now?

Why had she changed her tune so quickly?

Ye Miaoshan sighed, “I’ve thought about it and feel I might have been somewhat in the wrong. No matter what, we are relatives, and it’s best if we can get along.”

This explanation seemed reasonable, and Su Qingqing knew her mother well; despite any argument with her aunt, she would certainly not want to completely sever ties with the Lu Family.

“I’ll ask my cousin.”

Caught between her loving mother and her beloved cousin, if possible, Su Qingqing also wished they could live in harmony.

Su Qingqing thought it was a dinner for both families to eat together, but Ye Miaoshan had never intended to invite everyone.

If Su Mian knew that the young master of the Zhou family was also coming, there was no way the meeting could happen.

Qiao Yun had accepted Su Qingqing’s invitation to have dinner together.

Since Su Qingqing was leaving tomorrow, she was still willing to have a meal with her.

After knowing Qiao Yun had agreed, Ye Miaoshan quickly replied to the second young master Zhou.

…

The next day arrived.

Qiao Yun received a call from Pei Ya, “The Zhou family has come knocking again.”

“Don’t care,” Qiao Yun said without any emotion.

“I know, I am just wondering, why is the Zhou family so persistent with Tianqi Research Institute when they should be looking for Qiaose Research Institute instead?”

“Don’t know, won’t cooperate, don’t need to.”

Qiao Yun decisively said three “don’ts.”

She had no interest in the Zhou family, as long as they didn’t provoke her.

“I understand,” Pei Ya found the Zhou family to be quite annoying.

They had been rejected three times and still hadn’t given up.

Now with Professor Qiao’s attitude so firm, there was no need to pay attention the next time the Zhou family came looking.

Qiao Yun dressed and went downstairs to see Lu Rui at the dining table, all smiles, looking radiant.

Her cool gaze swept over, and she asked indifferently, “Are you happy?”

Lu Rui couldn’t stop smiling, “A project that the company had been struggling to secure suddenly succeeded today, dad is naturally happy.”

“Hmm.”

Qiao Yun didn’t say anything more.

Pei Ya’s ability to handle things had always been strong.

An exchange of equal value, very fair, which made her feel justifiably entitled to the Su Family’s shares.

Although Qiao Yun stayed with the Lu family, she didn’t want to owe them too much.

Seeing Qiao Yun about to go to school, Lu Rui stood up, “Dad will take you to school.”

Qiao Yun didn’t speak but looked at him with her distinct black and white eyes.

“Dad hasn’t driven you to school before; let dad do it this time,” Lu Rui was afraid that the Zhou family would show up to find Qiao Yun again.

“Okay,” Qiao Yun did not reject Lu Rui, knowing that he was worried about her.

Lu Rui was even considering picking up Qiao Yun from school later.

This time, Qiao Yun rejected him because Su Qingqing said she would come to pick her up.

Lu Rui thought Su Qingqing was going to take Qiao Yun out to have fun, so he agreed, “Your aunt may not be the best person, but your cousin is pretty good.”

Qiao Yun responded ambiguously, “She is pretty good.”

Quite good at kicking someone with a single foot.

“Do you like her?”

“It’s okay.”

Lu Rui didn’t ask further because they had arrived at the school.

He watched Qiao Yun enter the school before driving away.

After school.

Su Qingqing came on time to pick up Qiao Yun.

“Sister, let’s go.”

Su Qingqing’s smile was gentle, and one couldn’t tell at all that she was a tough woman.

Qiao Yun got into the car and buckled her seatbelt, “I’m ready.”

Her obedient behavior couldn’t help but make Su Qingqing smile.

Although the two were the same age, in Su Qingqing’s eyes, Qiao Yun was still a child, which was probably because Qiao Yun appeared younger.

They arrived at the prearranged private room.

After pushing the door open and entering, Su Qingqing expected to see her family but saw a man she didn’t recognize.
