Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 955 Qiao Yun: Can Leaving Solve the Problem?
Fu Yun was stunned, but she quickly regained her composure and accused with certainty: "You’ve finally revealed your true colors, I knew it, your closeness to Jiujiu wasn’t pure at all."
She looked at Pei Yao, earnestly advising: "Jiujiu, listen to what she is saying, she actually wants to use you for a lifetime. Do you still think she’s good now?"
She thought to herself that this time Jiujiu should see Qiao Yun’s true colors.
But to her surprise, the next second, Pei Yao spoke as if it were a matter of course: "I am happy to be used by her for a lifetime." He turned his head, declaring his loyalty to Qiao Yun, "Don’t be polite; please feel free to use me, my life is in your hands."
Qiao Yun complied: "Okay, I won’t be polite."
Li Hanzhou: "..."
If it wasn’t for knowing that Pei Yao’s feelings toward Qiao Yun were only familial, Pei Yao’s words might have made him suspect that Pei Yao was trying to cuckold him.
Pei Yao proudly said: "Did you hear that? It’s my own choice, so don’t meddle in my business."
Fu Yun: "..."
Fu Yun was visibly shocked, seemingly unable to believe that Pei Yao could be so foolish; even after what Qiao Yun said, he was still willing.
What was this, one willing to strike and another willing to be struck?
"You..." She was so angry that her hands trembled, "You... you are crazy."
"Yes, I’m crazy, so don’t provoke me, and don’t provoke her, or else I don’t know what I might do!"
Pei Yao’s face was fierce. He had been feeling guilty for not handling his grudge with Fu Yun well, which led to Professor Qiao’s involvement this time.
If Professor Qiao hadn’t gotten out of trouble, she would have been defeated without a fight.
By then she would have faced public scorn.
Everyone would laugh at her.
So this time, he was not planning to let Fu Yun off easily.
Fu Yun’s lips quivered: "Are you threatening me for her now?"
"So what if I am?"
"I’m your aunt, your only family in this world."
Pei Yao said disdainfully: "Don’t bother trying to claim kinship, if it weren’t for my mother’s instructions to not argue with you, you wouldn’t even be aware of my existence until now."
He had the power to stand against the Huo Family, but considering not wanting to involve Professor Qiao, and because of his mother’s last request, he had endured for so many years.
Now that they had come to him, they could not blame him for being ruthless.
However, Fu Yun knew that Fu Yao was thinking of her on her deathbed, and she didn’t feel happy at all, but even more panicked.
Even in death, she wanted to leave herself owing a favor.
Fu Yun couldn’t help thinking that she knew Yaoyao hated her, not letting Pei Ya find her, wanting her to be restless for life.
Fu Yun swayed, her head throbbing as if it was about to explode, she couldn’t help but clutch her head, a look of pain on her face.
"Mom." Huo Lin rushed forward to support Fu Yun; he frowned, angry at his mother’s self-righteous behavior, but no matter what, he could not just stand by.
Huo Lin’s gaze tightened and swept over Pei Yao, finally landing on the unconcerned Qiao Yun.
The current intent of Pei Yao was clear; he wanted to take revenge for Qiao Yun.
Although he couldn’t understand Pei Yao’s attitude towards Qiao Yun, the situation could only be resolved if Qiao Yun spoke up.
"Qiao Yun, this time it’s my mother’s fault; she shouldn’t have acted rashly, I apologize to you on behalf of my mother. She is ill, and sometimes can’t control her emotions, there definitely won’t be a next time," said Huo Lin.
It was the first time Huo Lin admitted publicly that Fu Yun was sick.
Fu Yun retorted angrily: "I am not sick."
If this got out, how many people would look at her with strange eyes.
Huo Lin paid no attention to Fu Yun and continued, "If you’re concerned, I can send my mother back to K City immediately, and she will never appear before you again."
"I’m not leaving!" Fu Yun adamantly refused to leave.
Qiao Yun turned her head slightly, her voice light, "See, she doesn’t want to go."
"I have the final say in this matter." He should have sent his mother away earlier, then none of these problems would have occurred.
Fu Yun could tell that this time Huo Lin wasn’t joking; her eyes widened slightly, and she felt unbearably hurt inside.
Jiujiu didn’t understand her; was her son starting to disdain her now?
Her mouth opened, and she said with heartache, "Alin, are you compromising with her?"
"Your actions this time were out of line," Huo Lin said calmly, though his gaze was sharp and compelling. "You’re my mother, but I also have my limits. You should know that the Huo Family wants to win in this competition, and you shouldn’t have disrupted it."
Fu Yun couldn’t comprehend Huo Lin; was the Huo Family more important to him than she was?
Qiao Yun raised an eyebrow, somewhat admiring Huo Lin’s rationality, recalling what Li Hanzhou had said before.
Merchants pursue profit.
Fu Yun was previously unrestrained because she had Huo Lin’s support, but this time her son wasn’t standing by her side.
"By leaving, will everything be resolved?" Qiao Yun felt as though she was at a disadvantage. Even if Fu Yun was sent back to K City, she wouldn’t suffer any loss.
"What do you want?" Huo Lin took on a negotiating stance, "As long as the request isn’t too excessive, I can agree to it."
Qiao Yun stated plainly, "Report to the authorities."
Now it was Huo Lin’s turn to be stunned; he had prepared for Qiao Yun to use this incident as a bargaining chip to negotiate terms, but he didn’t expect Qiao Yun to be so straightforward in wanting to call the police.
"We can’t alert the police."
"Why can’t we alert the police?" Li Hanzhou folded his arms and argued reasonably, "Her behavior constitutes illegal detention; shouldn’t we call the police? Qiaoqiao, am I right?"
Qiao Yun nodded forcefully, "Mhm."
She was a good citizen, naturally she would call the police in this kind of situation.
Pei Ya voiced his approval, "Call the police."
It would be an opportunity for Fu Yun to appear less in front of him.
Huo Lin pursed his lips tightly, seeming to want to discuss further.
Li Hanzhou, with a smile that was not quite a smile, said, "Mr. Huo, you should feel lucky that Qiaoqiao is an outstanding citizen. Otherwise, you wouldn’t want to know what I would do if I were in her place."
His face bore a smile, but his eyes were filled with deadly intent.
If it weren’t for respecting every one of Qiao Yun’s thoughts, he wouldn’t let Fu Yun off.
Pei Ya took out his mobile phone, ready to make the call to the police.
Only then did Fu Yun come back to her senses. Seeing Pei Ya actually was about to call the police, she looked incredulous, and her whole body trembled, "You, you’re really going to call the police?"
She even wanted to rush up and snatch Pei Ya’s phone, but Huo Lin swiftly and agilely blocked her.
Pei Ya stated emotionlessly, "You broke the law; it’s normal to call the police."
"But, but, I did it for you," Fu Yun said agitatedly. "If not for you, I wouldn’t do such a thing. Don’t you know if you call the police, I will be completely disgraced?"
"What’s that to me?" Pei Ya had no pity for Fu Yun.
Fu Yun kept saying it was all for his sake, which was utterly annoying to him.
He did not want such pretense of acting ’for his good’ to cover up her own crimes.
Naturally, Huo Lin didn’t want to really call the police; he took a deep breath and asked, "Do we have to call the police?"
"It’s not absolutely necessary," Qiao Yun’s eyes flickered, saying, "Not calling the police is a possibility."
