Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 493 - Chapter 493 Chapter 493 You Changed Your Mind

Chapter 493: Chapter 493: You Changed Your Mind? Chapter 493: Chapter 493: You Changed Your Mind? Upon seeing the newcomer, Qiao Yun’s eyes sparkled.

Li Hanzhou also paused for a moment, his handsome peach blossom eyes brimming with a light smile, “Kid, what are you doing here?”

“Eating,” Qiao Yun answered him.

Li Hanzhou asked her, “Ready to go now?”

“Going home,” Qiao Yun nodded in response.

“I’ll give you a lift.”

“No need, you just got here.”

Qiao Yun didn’t want to delay Li Hanzhou because of herself.

“It’s fine, I just need to say a word to them,” Li Hanzhou replied with a casual smile, friends were not as important as this “kid.”

Qiao Yun didn’t turn down Li Hanzhou’s offer, as there were some things she wanted to ask him, and it wasn’t excluding the fact that she liked being with Li Hanzhou.

After all, Li Hanzhou was the only one who knew all her identities, yet still treated her without any difference.

Li Hanzhou stepped aside to make a call.

Qiao Yun looked around, found a spot to sit down, and quietly, obediently watched the man.

Li Hanzhou, holding the phone, looked at Qiao Yun with his eyes full of laughter.

“Li Ge, it’s so rare for us to gather, and you’re running away at the last minute.”

“Got a little something to do.”

“What could be more important than your brothers?”

Li Hanzhou’s voice was indifferent, “Taking someone home.”

“???”

“Wait, Li Ge is actually taking someone home? Could it be… that she’s your sister-in-law?”

Li Hanzhou just smiled, neither denying nor confirming.

“No way? Do we have a sister-in-law now?? Li Ge, you have a girlfriend and didn’t introduce her to us.”

“Not a girlfriend.”

Li Hanzhou told them not to guess wildly.

He hadn’t even won her over yet.

Although Li Hanzhou said this, it still piqued the curiosity of his friends who immediately grabbed Shen Qi for a thorough interrogation.

When it came to Li Ge’s matters, Shen Qi knew best.

Shen Qi calmly took a sip of water, indicating that he knew nothing. Don’t ask me, I have no idea about Li Ge’s mad crush on Professor Qiao.

Not to mention whether the Lu Family would object or not, for sure that group of people around Professor Qiao would come knocking with machinery.

Zhou Xinyu emerged from the private room with an unsuspecting face, then saw Li Hanzhou standing aside with casual and scattered brows.

Li Ye?

What’s he doing here?

Surprised to encounter Li Ye, Zhou Xinyu felt a bit of joy, his anger at being rejected by Qiao Yun dissipating a little.

The Li Family was anything but simple. Although Li Hanzhou seemed low-key, his maneuvers were extremely powerful, and he conducted big business.

Moreover, it was said that the Li Family had influence abroad as well.

No matter what, since he had run into him, it was naturally important to greet him and make his presence known.

Zhou Xinyu straightened his clothes and approached with a smiling face to greet.

“Li Ye, I didn’t expect to run into you here. Are you also here for a meal?”

Li Hanzhou looked at the man in front of him, whose smile seemed to seek favor, and casually said, “Mr. Zhou.”

“I was wondering if Li Ye would be free recently. I’m planning to host a banquet and hope that Li Ye can attend.”

Of course, the banquet hadn’t been arranged yet, but as long as Li Hanzhou was willing to come, he could hold it immediately.

“I’m busy.”

“No problem, no problem at all.”

Zhou Xinyu’s attitude was very humble. Although the Zhou Family could do as they pleased in Yuncheng, they still had to be mindful of the Li Family in Shangjing City.

“I have a project at hand, I wonder if Li Ye would have time to take a look?”

Because business had been hit recently, he thought that a collaboration with the Li Family might be a turning point.

As long as he could forge a connection with the Li Family, he’d like to see if the Lu Family still dares to mess with his business.

Looking at Zhou Xinyu, Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but find the situation amusing.

He truly couldn’t fathom from where Zhou Xinyu mustered the courage to approach him.

Zhou Xinyu’s business sustained damages, and Li Hanzhou played a significant role in it, but Zhou Xinyu didn’t realize that in offending Qiao Yun, he had also crossed Li Hanzhou.

Now, he was racking his brains, thinking about how to persuade “Master Li” to collaborate with him.

Just then, Qiao Yun walked over, looked up at Li Hanzhou with her small face, and asked in a gentle voice, “Are you leaving?”

Zhou Xinyu wanted to speak more with Li Hanzhou but was interrupted, and when he turned his head and saw it was Qiao Yun, the smile on his face instantly faded as he asked with malice, “Why are you still here?”

“Or have you changed your mind? You refused a million just now, but now it’s gone. At most, I’ll give you half a million.”

Qiao Yun didn’t care for his money and glanced at him as if he were an imbecile.

Then she turned to Li Hanzhou and asked, “Shall we go?”

Li Hanzhou wasn’t in a hurry to respond, his lips curled with a dangerous smile as he asked, “What’s this about a million?”

Seeing Li Hanzhou talking to Qiao Yun, Zhou Xinyu’s face was full of bewilderment, what was this situation?

Did it look like “Master Li” knew the young miss from the Lu Family??

Qiao Yun explained concisely, “He wanted to give me a million to help him out; I refused.”

“Oh,” Li Hanzhou said with a smile as he looked at the surprised Zhou Xinyu, “You wanted to give ‘Master’s’ little sister a million?”

Zhou Xinyu: “…”

His expression visibly began to panic, “This, Master Li knows Miss Lu?”

“We are very good friends,” Qiao Yun boasted modestly.

“Hmm, very good indeed.” The amusement deepened in Li Hanzhou’s eyes.

Zhou Xinyu quickly said, “Misunderstanding, it’s all a misunderstanding.”

He had never imagined that Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou were that close.

Wasn’t she said to have come from the countryside?

How did she come to know Master Li?

And it was the first time he had seen Li Hanzhou so protective of anyone.

Was Qiao Yun a social butterfly? One minute with Qiao Xun, the next with Master Li, how did she know all these influential figures?

Li Hanzhou told him, “Your business is gone.”

Zhou Xinyu’s face drastically changed; he hadn’t anticipated that Li Hanzhou would stand up for Qiao Yun.

If he had known earlier, he would have sought Qiao Yun’s help in a more courteous manner.

“Let’s go,” Qiao Yun, unconcerned with what Zhou Xinyu was thinking, tugged on Li Hanzhou’s sleeve, signaling him to head home.

“Alright.”

Li Hanzhou whispered with a low voice, “Next time something like this happens, use my money to smash it in his face.”

“I have money; I don’t need yours.”

“We are good friends, so it’s fine to use mine too,” Li Hanzhou solemnly stated, “Standing up for a good friend is a matter of course.”

Qiao Yun felt there was some logic to this and said seriously, “You can also use my money to smash faces.”

Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but laugh, does this count as joint property?

Zhou Xinyu’s expression went through a myriad of changes, eventually settling on disgust.

Qiao Yun was very beautiful, the kind that was delicately close to perfect, even though he didn’t know how she became acquainted with Li Hanzhou.

But their relationship, it definitely wasn’t as simple as just friends.

“No wonder she dares to be so arrogant towards me, it turns out she has taken up with Master Li. I didn’t expect Miss Lu to be that kind of person.”

Zhou Xinyu cursed and stormed off.

Suddenly, a white figure lunged at him, he was taken aback, instinctively catching the slender and soft waist of the person.

Zhou Xinyu’s heart skipped a beat, not yet clearly seeing who was throwing themselves into his arms.

Then, a panicked scream rang in his ears.

“Ah! Indecency.”

Zhou Xinyu: ????? What????
