Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 497 - Chapter 497 Chapter 497 Dont You Have a Clue

Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Don’t You Have a Clue? Chapter 497: Chapter 497: Don’t You Have a Clue? Su Mian’s expression turned cold, and she retorted with an unpleasant tone.

“What grounds do you have to say my daughter is lying? I know my own daughter better than you do. She would never lie. Stop spouting nonsense.”

Ye Miaoshan wasn’t annoyed; she leisurely pulled out her phone, opened the photo she had taken, and showed it to Su Mian.

With a concerned look, she said, “She told you she was going out to meet classmates, but that’s not the case at all. She clearly went out on a date with a man.”

Su Mian took the phone.

In the photo, Qiao Yun and Pei Ya were leaning close together. From this angle, the two appeared to be quite intimate.

Ye Miaoshan observed carefully as Su Mian seemed somewhat stunned by the photo and shook her head with a sigh, “Sister, I don’t mean to criticize you, but Qiaoqiao is so young, and in just a few months she’ll have her college entrance exams. Isn’t it inappropriate for her to have a boyfriend now?”

“Whether or not my daughter has a boyfriend is none of your business,” Su Mian’s eyebrows raised, her gaze unfriendly.

“Regardless of our past misunderstandings, I’m still Qiaoqiao’s aunt, of course, I’m concerned about her.”

Ye Miaoshan’s expression showed distress, the picture of someone misunderstood and heartbroken.

“The other party is Pei Ya from Shengqiao Group. Qiaoqiao won’t be happy with him. With Mr. Pei’s stature, what woman couldn’t he have? How could he possibly take an interest in Qiaoqiao?”

“As Qiaoqiao’s mother, you really don’t pay enough attention to your daughter. It’s lucky I ran into them today. Nothing has happened yet, but the right choice would be to promptly make Qiaoqiao break up with Mr. Pei.”

She had been scolded by Su Mian in the past. Now that she finally had the opportunity to mock Su Mian in return, she wouldn’t hold back.

And she simply couldn’t stand the thought of Qiao Yun actually being with Pei Ya.

One Li Hanzhou was enough; with Pei Ya added to the mix, she really started to wonder if Su Mian’s daughter was somehow better than her own?

Why wasn’t it her daughter who knew these people?

Su Mian frowned, “I don’t like what you’re implying. If my daughter is so good, why wouldn’t Mr. Pei like her?”

Ye Miaoshan’s retorts, ready to belittle and mock, were suddenly choked back.

Wait a minute…

Is that the point?

Isn’t the real issue that Qiao Yun is dating early, stealthily meeting men and lying about it?

Now that Su Mian isn’t angry at all, could it be because she too approves of Qiao Yun’s relationship with Pei Ya?

Ye Miaoshan immediately felt disdain.

So Su Mian is one to curry favor and sell her daughter out for glory.

“Big sister, you wouldn’t already know about the relationship between Qiaoqiao and Mr. Pei, would you?”

“What ‘relationship’ are you talking about?”

“What else could it be, if not that kind of relationship. I really misjudged you,” Ye Miaoshan muttered under her breath.

Holding back her anger, Su Mian said, “Ye Miaoshan, one can eat whatever they want, but words cannot simply be thrown around carelessly. My daughter’s affairs are not your concern. You better manage your own matters.”

“If I had known earlier that you don’t oppose Qiaoqiao being with Mr. Pei, I wouldn’t have interfered. After all, I did it for your own good, and now you aren’t even appreciative.”

In her heart, Ye Miaoshan had already deemed that Su Mian wanted to climb up the social ladder through Qiao Yun’s association with Pei Ya.

Su Mian retorted sarcastically, “For our good? If Mr. Pei were with Qingqing, wouldn’t you be beating drums and making it known to everyone?”

Ye Miaoshan stuttered, “I would not.”

Su Mian didn’t even want to expose her anymore, Don’t you know what you think in your own heart?

“You keep fabricating rumors about my daughter time and again. What are your intentions? Last time it was Mr. Li, this time Mr. Pei, next time who knows who it will be.”

Su Mian was quite angry.

She knew Ye Miaoshan harbored a grudge against her for taking back the Su Family’s shares, but that was no reason for her to spread rumors about Qiao Yun.

“I was speaking based on the facts I saw,” Ye Miaoshan defended, “It’s only because Qiaoqiao was too close to these people that I misunderstood. If you didn’t want people to misunderstand, wouldn’t you stay away from them?”

“Do I need your permission for my daughter to make friends?” Su Mian glared at her coldly.

Ye Miaoshan was utterly taken aback.

After coming to Beijing this time, she noticed Su Mian had changed.

She became tougher than before.

Even going as far as to talk back to her with a strong tone, something that never happened before.

In the past, Su Mian often kept silent and endured.

What Ye Miaoshan did not know was that, after all that had happened with the Lu Family, Su Mian realized that if she didn’t become strong, she wouldn’t be able to protect Qiao Yun.

She was a mother, and she would not let anyone hurt her child.

A mother could do anything for her child, including changing her own personality.

Ye Miaoshan had come to take pleasure in Su Mian’s misfortunes, not to be scolded, “Fine, I won’t interfere anymore, is that okay? But if you suffer any losses in the future, don’t blame me for not warning you.”

As Ye Miaoshan was about to leave, Su Mian suddenly remembered something and called out to her, “Wait a second.”

“What else do you want?” Ye Miaoshan asked, with an unpleasant tone.

“I don’t think I’ve ever told you who Qiaoqiao’s grandfather is,” Su Mian said with profound meaning.

Ye Miaoshan scoffed, “Isn’t he just some country bumpkin?”

“Right.” Su Mian smiled slightly, “He’s just the internationally famous Qiao An, who got tired of the hustle and bustle of the city and retreated to the countryside, whose paintings sell for hundreds of millions.”

Ye Miaoshan was slow to react and, after a while, looked at Su Mian in astonishment, her voice trembling, “You’re joking, right?”

“What do you think?” Su Mian said impatiently, “They’re caring for Qiaoqiao because of Qiao An. If you dare to spout nonsense outside and anger them, the Su Family won’t be able to protect you either.”

Apart from shock, Ye Miaoshan also felt frustration.

The countryside niece she thought she knew had transformed into someone raised by Qiao An.

She wanted to see others become a joke, yet she had become the joke herself.

Suddenly realizing that Qiao An’s paintings were so expensive, Qiao Yun must have grown up in wealth.

No wonder she turned up her nose at Zhou Xinyu’s one million and even dared to demand the Zhou Family.

Ye Miaoshan’s expressions changed wildly, and she could hardly accept this truth.

She was jealous.

Jealous that Su Mian’s daughter was better than she had imagined, and that the Lu Family might even benefit from this connection because of Qiao Yun.

“I don’t care if you came to me today out of kindness or with some other motive,” Su Mian stated emphatically, “but my daughter’s affairs are none of your business. Don’t slander my daughter in front of me again.”

Ye Miaoshan’s face soured, unable to utter a word.

“I just remembered I have things to do, I’ll be leaving.”

With that, she left swiftly and uncomfortably.

Why stay, if not to suffer the mockery of Su Mian?

Su Mian waited until Ye Miaoshan had left, then called Su Fan and scolded him, “Control your wife. Don’t come to me with your nonsense if she’s got nothing else to do.”

Being suddenly blamed, Su Fan was somewhat bewildered, “What’s happened? Did Miaoshan provoke you again?”

“Yes, she provoked me. Has she eaten too much salt? Why does she love meddling so much?”

Su Mian was annoyed; Ye Miaoshan had accused Qiao Yun of lying.
