Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 954: Qiao Yun: Make Him Work Like an Ox or Horse for Me Forever
Fu Yun glared at Qiao Yun with an angry expression: "You really are so cruel, I am the only family member Jiujiu has in this world, if you really care about him, why do you repeatedly prevent us from acknowledging each other, letting Jiujiu misunderstand me."
Hearing this, Pei Ya’s expression was indescribable, not knowing where Fu Yun got the audacity to say such words. Is their problem just a simple misunderstanding? There were their parents’ lives in between, even without Professor Qiao, he would never recognize her.
Pei Ya unceremoniously said: "I’ll make it clear to you today, I don’t have you as a family member."
Upon hearing this, Fu Yun staggered as if struck by thunder, and would have fallen if Huo Lin hadn’t quickly steadied her.
Huo Lin’s face darkened, unable to bear seeing his mother like this, he tried to persuade: "Pei Ya, I know you hate my mother for not helping your aunt in the past, but my mother has realized her mistake."
Pei Ya seemed to hear a funny joke and laughed: "What’s the use of realizing the mistake, can it change the facts that have already occurred?"
Huo Lin’s face was cold, unable to refute.
Pei Ya continued: "I don’t want to have any dealings with the Huo Family, but why did you insist on offending her? Initially, she did it for me. Shouldn’t you hate me instead?"
Fu Yun, with a hoarse voice, said: "It has nothing to do with you, you don’t know she wanted to use you..."
"You’re wrong," Qiao Yun suddenly spoke up with a calm look: "The one who wanted to use him is you, you want to compensate him only because of guilt, you’re using him to make up for the wrongs you’ve done."
Her actions before made the wrongdoings of Fu Yun public, along with Pei Ya’s disgust for Fu Yun, that’s why she was scapegoated.
Fu Yun’s expression completely changed, as if the deepest secret in her heart had been discovered, and she eagerly tried to cover it up, quickly saying: "That’s not it, I truly want to be good to Jiujiu."
However, who would believe that, even Huo Lin didn’t believe Fu Yun.
After knowing the truth, he had long realized why his mother’s attitude towards Pei Ya was so strange, it was only because she wanted to remedy the situation.
"You have never thought about being good to him," Qiao Yun disliked Fu Yun and thus did not mince her words.
"Shut up!" Fu Yun’s face turned red, her temples throbbing with pain, her eyes full of hatred as she glared at Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun remained unmoved, calmly looking back at her, not falling behind in any way.
Li Hanzhou chuckled and praised: "Well said."
Qiao Yun blinked her eyes, feeling a bit embarrassed, was she a bit harsh just now?
Li Hanzhou leisurely said: "Ms. Fu, I don’t care about your past grudges, but if you try to harm my girlfriend and make her lose the competition, I couldn’t let it go easily."
Fu Yun, being stared at by the abyss-like dark eyes of Li Hanzhou, felt like someone was choking her throat, unable to utter a word.
Pei Ya coldly said: "I advise you to admit it soon, otherwise it will be ugly, and it will be the Huo Family’s face that is lost."
Fu Yun bit her lip firmly, resolutely denying the accusations.
Looking at his mother’s frail back, Huo Lin stood out, blocking their gaze and coldly said: "Since you claim my mother orchestrated it, then produce evidence to prove it, if it’s groundless, I won’t let it go easily."
The three stood in a standoff, none giving way.
A Shengqiao Group chairman.
An authority holder of the Li family.
A Family Head of the Huo Family.
All three top tycoons in China, anyone else present here would probably be terrified.
The real super tycoon, Qiao Yun, was not affected by their presence at all, probably tired of standing, she found a place to sit down, holding a cup of water and sipping slowly.
Fu Yun did not have such a strong heart, fearing Huo Lin would be bullied, she grabbed Huo Lin, "Alin, I didn’t do it, let’s go."
Although most of her attention was on Pei Ya, when real trouble came, she still considered Huo Lin.
Huo Lin’s gaze became inscrutable as he looked meaningfully at Fu Yun.
Perhaps, she is not a good woman, but she has never mistreated him.
"I let you go," Pei Ya laughed, "Thinking of fleeing because of your guilt?"
These words are not pleasant to hear.
Fu Yun looked hurt, unable to accept Pei Ya speaking to her like that.
Qiao Yun spoke indifferently, "The matter is not settled yet, you can’t leave."
Huo Lin said annoyed, "I still stand by what I said, evidence."
Qiao Yun’s expression puzzled, "Of course, there is evidence."
She never wrongs people.
Upon hearing there was evidence, Fu Yun’s heart became extremely unsettled, and her face turned even paler.
Huo Lin frowned slightly.
Just then, someone knocked on the door.
Pei Ya said, "Come in."
The door opened, and Zhou You stood outside, speaking respectfully, "The person you asked for has been brought here."
"Let them come in."
Fu Yun’s eyes flickered, unsure of what Pei Ya was planning, now being in a very difficult position, she had to take things one step at a time, but she definitely couldn’t admit to anything she did.
Fu Yun steadied herself, trying to maintain calm as she spoke stubbornly, "Anyway, I didn’t do anything."
Pei Ya sneered coldly, "Don’t speak too soon."
"What is going on here?"
Simon walked in from the outside, saw the people present, and was even more confused. He instinctively looked at Qiao Yun, wanting to ask about the current situation. He quickly remembered Qiao Yun’s identity should not be disclosed, so he looked towards Pei Ya.
"What do you need me for?"
Pei Ya was noncommittal, "Indeed, there is something I’d like to ask you about."
At this moment, two more people walked in from outside.
When Fu Yun saw one of them, her face, which had already calmed down, now showed terror.
Huo Lin was surprised for a moment; he recognized one of the panic-stricken people - it was his mother’s old butler. What was he doing here?
While Huo Lin was puzzled, Pei Ya pointed to the old butler and asked Simon, "Mr. Simon, I wonder if it was he who tried to bribe you?"
Simon did not need to think, he said disgustedly, "Exactly, this detestable man, trying to buy me off with money, he’s insulting my integrity!"
He angrily said, "Mr. Pei, quickly arrest this person."
Pei Ya used eye contact to signal him to be patient, then looked towards another person trembling all over in work attire, "Did he bribe you with money to take her to the warehouse?"
The staff member, already terrified by the situation, stammered in response to Pei Ya’s question, "Yes, yes, it was him."
Without being questioned, he blurted everything out, "He said he had something he wanted to say to Miss Qiao and asked me for a favor. I thought it was nothing big so I agreed, I really didn’t know what he was intending to do..."
It’s just a bit of greed for money; how could he be so unlucky.
Pei Ya snorted coldly, too busy to deal with the staff member at the moment, and sarcastically asked Huo Lin, "So now Mr. Huo, tell me, is this person from your Huo Family?"
In an instant, Fu Yun felt breathless, her blood running in reverse, her head buzzing, and Huo Lin’s words echoed in her ears.
"He indeed is."
Even if he doesn’t admit it, there’s nothing to be done about it; it would be easy for them to investigate if they wanted to.
Huo Lin has already confirmed in his heart that his mother might indeed have ordered Qiao Yun to be detained to prevent her from attending the competition, and he looked towards his mother with a displeased expression.
Seeing her looking unable to bear it, clutching her hands, Huo Lin tried to argue: "Just because he is from our Huo Family, does this truly mean it was my mother who instructed him?"
Fu Yun, upon hearing this, hurriedly said, "Exactly, I didn’t instruct him."
Huo Lin forced a relaxed smile: "Of course, we still have to thank you for helping our Huo Family catch a traitor."
The matter was defined in a few words; the old butler was bribed to frame the Huo Family.
Pei Ya looked incredulous, hardly believing that even now, they could still distort the truth and confuse right with wrong.
Especially Huo Lin.
Although he is not a bad person, when it comes to matters concerning Fu Yun and the reputation of the Huo Family, he would ultimately choose to cover up the truth.
Fu Yun found her courage, straightened her back, and indignantly pointed at the old butler, "This has nothing to do with me. Tell us—who instructed you to do this? You’ve been by my side for over twenty years. Haven’t I treated you well? Your son was only able to work at Huo Corporation because of me, how could you be so ungrateful?"
The old butler, under Fu Yun’s threat, regretfully said: "Madam, I am sorry, it was my fault for being clouded by greed."
Fu Yun was furious, "You’ve ruined me."
The old butler, tears flowing, said: "It was me who did it, it has nothing to do with Madam."
Huo Lin furrowed his brows, "Why did you do this, who instructed you?"
"No one instructed me." The old butler looked at Qiao Yun, "I heard Madam complaining before that because of her, Young Master Pei refused to acknowledge her, so I wanted to avenge Madam, thinking I might be rewarded."
The statement sounded reasonable and justifiable at first listen.
Fu Yun was about to furiously argue more to assert that this had nothing to do with her, that it was the old butler’s own doing, and she was wrongfully implicated.
Qiao Yun looked at them, disinterestedly and slowly said: "Do you think we are fools?"
Fu Yun’s unspoken words were suddenly choked off, and after struggling for quite a while, she finally managed to say: "Qiao Yun, what else do you want?"
Qiao Yun said, "I don’t want anything else, I just want you to admit your mistake."
Fu Yun, losing patience, exclaimed angrily: "The truth is right before your eyes, do you still have to falsely accuse me?"
Qiao Yun ignored her and instead asked the butler, "Did you do this on your own initiative?"
The old butler lowered his eyes, "Yes."
"Oh," Qiao Yun said meaningfully, "Then tell me, what’s with the chat records?"
The old butler was stunned, "What chat records?"
Qiao Yun’s gaze fell on Fu Yun, "You must have decided on impulse, ill-prepared for many things, otherwise we wouldn’t have caught him."
Fu Yun’s eyes flickered.
It indeed was because of Jiang Jing that she impulsively wanted to deal with Qiao Yun.
Many things were indeed unprepared.
Qiao Yun said unhurriedly, "You had to watch the competition and couldn’t let Huo Lin find out, so you could only contact people through your phone."
Huo Lin suddenly remembered, his mother did check her phone more times today than usual, and he felt annoyed thinking he had been careless, believing that keeping his mother by his side would prevent any incidents.
Qiao Yun said, "So there must be chat records."
Fu Yun’s body stiffened, her face showing surprise as she looked at Qiao Yun, astonished that Qiao Yun could guess so accurately.
She felt like she was about to be driven mad by Qiao Yun.
Pei Ya sighed internally, surely Professor Qiao must be analyzing step by step based on the situation at the scene, therefore you should never mess with academics; their logical thinking is terrifying.
"Can chat logs be used as evidence?" Qiao Yun turned to look at Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou responded affirmatively, "Of course, the phone is in her own hands, who else could have access to it."
Yet, Fu Yun smiled and said bluntly, "I can let you inspect my phone, but if you don’t find anything, I want an apology."
Her prompt agreement made Pei Ya immediately feel that something was off.
Fu Yun had been bluffed by Qiao Yun just now, remembering that the chat records with the old butler had already been deleted by her, and of course she had also told the old butler to delete them, initially to guard against Alin.
Seeing Fu Yun so confident, Qiao Yun knew that the chat records must have been deleted, but still nodded, "Alright, give me your phone."
Fu Yun handed over her phone openly.
Qiao Yun took the phone, lightly tapped on the screen, and slowly said, "You must have deleted the chat records, right?"
Fu Yun: "..."
Fu Yun’s mind was blank, her heart suddenly beating fast.
Qiao Yun told her, "It’s okay if you deleted them, I can recover them."
"Exactly," Pei Ya fanned the flames, "After all, she’s the triple winner of this competition, isn’t recovering deleted chat records a piece of cake for her."
Fu Yun’s ears buzzed, her hands tightly clutching the fabric of her clothes at her sides, feeling pressured repeatedly by the younger generation despite her age.
How did things turn out this way?
Fu Yun’s mind was somewhat bewildered, compounded by her refusal to take her medication properly, and now being psychologically manipulated by Qiao Yun, she couldn’t take it anymore.
"I did it."
Since the chat records would be discovered once recovered, it was better to just admit it outright, at least it was less embarrassing.
Qiao Yun put down Fu Yun’s phone, wrinkled her nose slightly, and let out a small huff.
She wasn’t surprised at all by Fu Yun’s confession.
Huo Lin, however, couldn’t snap back to reality.
Pei Ya angrily said, "You lunatic!"
Fu Yun’s face turned pale, distressingly said, "Jiujiu, I did it all for you, I just wanted to keep her away from you, I didn’t intend to harm her, besides, she still won the championship, so even if I really did something, it didn’t harm her."
Simon exaggeratedly exclaimed, "Are all you people from China this shameless?"
Fu Yun glared at Simon. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞
She felt the exposure was because Simon had come forward as a witness.
Simon glared back, "Old witch, what are you looking at me for."
With a chilly look, Qiao Yun told Fu Yun, "Oh, don’t worry, I’m not leaving him, I still want him to... well, work himself to the bone for me."
After a pause, Qiao Yun added a sentence, "For a lifetime."
Pei Ya: "..."
Li Hanzhou: "..."
