Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 884 - Chapter 884 Chapter 884 Someone She Absolutely Didnt Want to

Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Someone She Absolutely Didn’t Want to See Right Now! Chapter 884: Chapter 884: Someone She Absolutely Didn’t Want to See Right Now! Qiao Yun searched her mind and was quite certain she had never seen this person before; where then did this sense of familiarity come from?

Professor Qiao couldn’t rest until she figured out things that perplexed her, otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sleep.

Thus, she unabashedly lifted her gaze again and, catching the person off guard, locked eyes with his somber, slightly illness-stricken eyes.

These eyes…

Qiao Yun paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

It wasn’t that the person looked familiar, but rather that his eyes seemed reminiscent of someone she knew.

If the corners of these eyes were slightly tilted upwards, revealing a mischievous and frivolous smile, wouldn’t they be just like Pei Ya’s!

Having her curiosity satisfied, Qiao Yun contentedly withdrew her gaze.

There were indeed similar-looking people in the world, so she didn’t dwell on this minor episode.

Su Qingqing, noticing Qiao Yun staring in that direction, thought her cousin was curious and gossiped, “Cousin, quite a few things have happened during the time you were back in the countryside.”

“What?” Qiao Yun lifted her eyelids slightly, obediently waiting for Su Qingqing to continue.

Su Qingqing, who had been nearly bursting to share, explained in a lowered voice, “Do you see the woman standing next to Jiang Jing? That’s the mother of Huo Lin from the Huo Family in K Harbour. Some time ago, Jiang Jing saved her life, and because of that, the Jiang Family has truly climbed up the social ladder with the Huo Family.”

She snorted, “They say the Huo Family is even considering taking Jiang Jing in as a godchild, and she has also introduced Dr. Adrian to Jiang Jing. Now everyone is spreading rumors that Jiang Jing has struck it lucky, losing one Tianqi but gaining an Adrian. With the support of the Huo Family, the Jiang Family is set to prosper.”

Normally, these things would have remained a secret, if not for Jiang Jing’s mother’s vanity.

The incident with Tianqi’s examination had caused Jiang Jing to lose face, and people in the circle had developed opinions about her.

This time, having finally connected with Fu Yun, Xu Qiao boasted wherever she went about how much Fu Yun adored Jiang Jing and even wanted to arrange for Jiang Jing to study abroad.

How lucky her daughter was, and so on…

Listening to Su Qingqing’s derisive tone, it could only be said that Jiang Jing had indeed stumbled into some dumb luck. She had thought that Jiang Jing would be down and out from then on, but unexpectedly, she seemed destined for greater heights.

Lu Shiran interjected, “The Adrian you’re talking about isn’t the one from the Future Alliance, is it?”

Su Qingqing nodded, “Yes, that’s him.”

Li Miao looked confused, “Who’s that? Someone impressive? More impressive than Qiaoqiao?”

“Of course not as impressive as my sister,” Lu Shiran defended his sister unconditionally, and added, “Adrian isn’t likely to take her on as a student, I’ve heard he doesn’t like Chinese people. She’s just grasping at straws now. Even if she does become his student, her life won’t be easy.”

“That’s news to me,” Su Qingqing’s eyes sparkled for a moment.

Xu Qiao was currently showing off about this, but if it didn’t pan out, it would be a slap in Jiang Jing’s face, and then she could enjoy the drama.

Su Qingqing didn’t get along with Jiang Jing and was quite looking forward to seeing her humiliated.

However…

Su Qingqing shook her head, “Perhaps he wouldn’t have taken her on before, but now with the Huo Family acting as intermediaries, it’s hard to say. I can already imagine Jiang Jing’s smug face when she gloats about this.”

Lu Shiran said, “What’s there to be smug about? No matter how impressive, she can’t compare to my sister. My sister is the thumb, while she is the little pinky.”

His sister was, after all, Professor Qiao, and what was an Adrian compared to that? And besides, Jiang Jing was only rumored to become his student.

Su Qingqing hesitated, Qiao Yun was just a high school graduate, while Adrian was a well-known figure. It wasn’t that she thought less of Qiao Yun, it’s just that they were of different leagues and hard to compare.

Su Qingqing assumed that Lu Shiran was overly protective of his sister; in his eyes, Qiao Yun was perfect in every way.

Of course, she also thought Qiao Yun was good in every aspect, certainly a million times better than Jiang Jing.

Qiao Yun wasn’t interested in Jiang Jing’s matters, but the name Adrian did cause her to raise an eyebrow.

Was it fate?

…

Meanwhile, Jiang Jing was chatting with Fu Yun, bringing a smile to his face.

She conducted herself with composure and propriety, earning nods of approval from Xu Qiao in her heart.

Her daughter was indeed popular; even Mrs. Huo took a liking to her.

Tianqi’s loss of her daughter was their loss, and they would surely come to regret it in the future.

These past few days, Xu Qiao had been walking tall, everywhere she went, people looked at her with envy, all praising her for having a fortunate daughter.

“Jingjing, perform well during this time. If you do well, you may have the chance to be accepted as a student by Dr. Adrian,” Fu Yun instructed Jiang Jing.

Jiang Jing responded with a gentle voice, “Auntie Fu, I understand. I’ll definitely seize such a rare opportunity and won’t let your efforts go to waste.”

Last time, she had dined with Adrian, although throughout the meal she had no chance to speak up.

But thanks to Fu Yun’s intervention, after examining her knowledge, Adrian, giving face to the Huo Family, rewarded her with the opportunity to study by his side and an invitation to further her studies at his alma mater.

This could be her only chance to turn her life around. Jiang Jing was extremely treasured it, so now, aside from keeping Fu Yun happy, she also had to act as a tour guide for Adrian.

A group of people was just about to enter a private room.

Then Jiang Jing saw someone she didn’t want to see at all right now!

Qiao Yun!

How could she be here!

Jiang Jing instinctively looked towards Fu Yun, her heartbeat suddenly quickened, and she licked her dry lips, feeling inexplicably guilty.

Especially since Su Qingqing was standing next to Qiao Yun.

Lately, Su Qingqing seemed to be picking fights with her, taking any chance to sneer at her, wishing everyone knew about her little conflict with Qiao Yun.

Like a lump of glue, she couldn’t be shaken off.

Jiang Jing saw Su Qingqing looking over as well, and her heart skipped a beat.

The more she looked, the more she felt like Su Qingqing was about to rush over and blurt out the whole affair between her and Qiao Yun.

No good!

Auntie Fu was still there, if she found out about these things, who knew if she would still be willing to help her!

Auntie Fu was helping her now, thinking she was a kind and innocent person.

Jiang Jing hurriedly averted her gaze, pretending she hadn’t seen anything.

Fu Yun, keenly aware that something was off with Jiang Jing, followed her gaze and asked with curiosity, “Are they your friends?”

Jiang Jing’s conscience was guilty; she didn’t know how to respond.

Fu Yun didn’t wait for her explanation and added, “Why don’t you go over and greet your friends? Or else, invite them to join us.”

She had suggested this hoping that Jiang Jing would make more friends.

Jiang Jing forced a smile, “They’re not really friends, just acquaintances. We’re not close, better not, it would be awkward.”

Hearing this, Fu Yun didn’t insist she go over to greet them.

Just as Jiang Jing breathed a sigh of relief, Xu Qiao spoke with disdain, “Mrs. Huo, you don’t know, the reason Jingjing was rejected by Tianqi is because of that person.”

She pointed at Qiao Yun and complained, “She rigged it.”

Jiang Jing: “…”

Jiang Jing wished she could faint on the spot.

She had not expected her mother to bring up the matter!

Fu Yun was surprised, “Is that so?”
