Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Overly Respectful Attitude Towards Qiao Yun Chapter 523: Chapter 523: Overly Respectful Attitude Towards Qiao Yun With so many people present, is it really okay for her to do this?

Li Hanzhou leaned in slightly, an amused expression on his face, “Didn’t you say you needed to get something?”

Qiao Yun didn’t look into his eyes and whispered softly, “No.”

Li Hanzhou’s eyes were filled with pleasure as he drawled lazily, “Qiaoqiao, are you lying?”

“I’m not lying. I’m going to get some food.”

Qiao Yun felt somewhat guilty as she said this.

Li Hanzhou’s gaze fell on Qiao Yun’s small hand.

This delicate little hand was clutching his wrist, warm and soft, making his heart itch a little.

Li Hanzhou couldn’t control the smile on his face and reminded her, “How long do you plan to hold on?”

Like she had been scalded, Qiao Yun quickly withdrew her hand, hiding it behind her back in a I-don’t-know-what-you’re-talking-about manner.

With a bewildered face, she didn’t understand what Li Hanzhou was laughing at.

She didn’t know why she wanted to pull Li Hanzhou away either; it was just an instinctive reaction.

Perhaps she didn’t like seeing her good friend irritated by others.

Because Ye Miaoshan really was quite annoying.

Seeing that Li Hanzhou was still laughing, Qiao Yun turned and left, “I’m going to get some food.”

“I’ll go with you to get food,” he prolonged the last syllable on purpose.

Qiao Yun: “…”

She felt that Li Hanzhou had suddenly become a bit strange.

Li Hanzhou strolled leisurely behind Qiao Yun, one hand in his pocket.

Because of Qiao Yun’s little action, his mood was likely to be cheerful for several days.

He thought to himself that the little friend’s possessiveness was quite strong.

But whether that possessiveness was between friends or due to something else, that remained to be seen.

After the party ended, Pei Yao found Qiao Yun for a private conversation, sighing deeply with a wistful expression, “I’m finally certain this time, you were serious when you said you wanted to stay with the Lu family.”

“Very serious,” Qiao Yun nodded.

“I understand now, they’re indeed different from us, you’re comfortable with them.” Despite accepting Qiao Yun’s decision, Pei Yao still felt a pinch in his heart.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Yun herself was slightly stunned; she hadn’t noticed that.

“It’s that bunch of rascals who are still betting on when you’ll give up the decision to stay with the Lu family and return to their embrace, and now, tsk tsk…”

Pei Yao lamented, “They might just come knocking on the Lu family’s door with their equipment.”

Although Professor Qiao said she would stay with the Lu family, most people believed she wouldn’t stay long, but now Pei Yao had overturned this notion.

As long as they continue to treat her well and keep showing no special treatment, then she wouldn’t leave.

Qiao Yun was silent for a moment, “Okay, I understand.”

Pei Yao: ? What do you understand?

Turning her head, Qiao Yun took out her phone and issued a task, “Safety guidelines, everyone copy it a hundred thousand times.”

The researchers: ??? What happened???

Qiao Yun thought, now that they had something to do, they wouldn’t be knocking on the door with their equipment.

Today, Professor Qiao successfully protected the safety of the Lu family members.

…

The next day.

Lu Rui and Su Mian took Qiao Yun to a research conference.

For a conference of this calibre, one could only enter with an invitation, and it was easy for the Su Family to get their hands on a few.

Qiao Yun had naturally received an invitation as well, but this time, she attended in the capacity of Miss of the Lu Family.

The venue was large, with seats for about a hundred attendees, all big names in the industry.

A few big shots instinctively thought of greeting Qiao Yun when they saw her but were stopped by a look from her.

Ye Miaoshan and Su Qingqing were also present.

Although the couple was still at odds, today was an important moment for Su Qingyan, and naturally, Ye Miaoshan had to be there, Su Fan couldn’t let her leave.

When Ye Miaoshan saw the Su family, she didn’t say anything snide; today was her son’s moment to shine, she wished Su Mian would witness it from beginning to end.

To make Su Mian realize, her son was much better than her two sons.

The group entered the lecture hall and, guided by an attendant, took their seats in the very front row.

In an international conference like this, seats were arranged, with the nearer to the front indicating higher status.

Su Fan looked at the surgery big shot next to him, then at the neuro-expert to his left, and in front of him sat a very famous heart specialist.

He asked the attendant in surprise, “Is there a mistake? We’re not supposed to sit here.”

After confirming, the attendant informed him, “Mr. Su, there is no mistake, this is your seat.”

Su Fan sat down with a bit of a dizzy head, not understanding what was going on, wondering how he had ended up in the front row.

Su Mian was still marveling, “Afan, how did you score VIP seats?”

Ye Miaoshan said proudly, “With Afan’s capabilities, it’s no surprise he got a VIP seat. Don’t act like you’ve never seen the world before.”

“Mom, there are so many people now, please keep your voice down.” Su Qingqing reminded Ye Miaoshan not to embarrass herself amidst the academic elite surrounding them.

Ye Miaoshan quickly covered her mouth.

Su Mian rolled her eyes and turned to chat warmly with her husband.

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier that we were going to sit in the VIP seats?” Ye Miaoshan complained in a low voice.

Sitting among all these leaders, she felt out of her depth.

Su Fan thought, I would also like to know, how did I move from a general seat to the VIP area?

Qiao Yun sat calmly in her seat, looking as if she hadn’t done anything, and nodded to the leaders around her to greet them.

The lecture hadn’t started yet, and Ye Miaoshan was contemplating how to start a conversation with the big shots around her.

Then suddenly, one of the surgery experts turned around. Ye Miaoshan’s heart leaped with joy, just as she was about to greet him, she found him smiling and chatting amiably with Qiao Yun, who remained cool and indifferent. However, the expert seemed not at all offended, and the conversation grew more animated.

Ye Miaoshan was completely baffled and her expression turned complex. Were these people just taken by Qiao Yun’s good looks?

Su Mian and Lu Rui were also surprised; how had their daughter become so popular?

“Qiaoqiao is indeed charming,” Su Mian said, smiling proudly.

“Our daughter is so adorable; who wouldn’t like her,” Lu Rui beamed contentedly.

Ye Miaoshan snorted disdainfully, her face a mixture of contempt and jealousy, glancing at her daughter who was looking around curiously, feeling unbalanced.

Su Fan had procured these great seats, but somehow the Lu family seemed to be benefiting.

When Lu Rui and his wife noticed Qiao Yun chatting with these luminaries, not only was she not out of her element, but she could also keep up the conversation, spouting professional jargon left and right, leaving them completely taken aback.

What were they discussing? They couldn’t understand a word.

And more importantly, why did these experts look so understanding, nodding as if to say, “You’re right, that makes sense”? It almost felt like an illusion, but they sensed that these people’s respect for Qiao Yun was excessive, not at all like they had just met.
