Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 961: She Didn’t Want to Argue with Qiao Yun Anymore
Qiao Yun did not refuse, letting him follow if he wanted to.
The Lu Family did not insist on going to look, fearing that they might hinder their affairs.
Shen Qi glanced at them and, after some thought, did not follow them; pleasing the family of Professor Qiao took priority.
Simon felt that something fun might happen, so he followed as well.
...
Over at the hotel.
Jiang Jing had already returned and was also aware of the online public opinion warfare. When she saw Adrian bite into Tianqi, she felt exhilarated.
It was good to let them have a dog-eat-dog fight.
When she saw Qiao Yun and Simon leave in the same car, she felt as if the dark world before her eyes lit up again.
So, she was right in questioning the validity of Qiao Yun’s achievements!
Could it mean that Qiao Yun was not as upright and honest as she had thought?
But before she could enjoy her schadenfreude for long, Simon’s statement was released.
Upon hearing that the people from the Technology Association challenged Qiao Yun and even lost, Jiang Jing stumbled, collapsing onto the sofa.
Her face was filled with panic, and her eyes were brimming with disbelief.
Xu Qiao was on a call with someone and, noticing Jiang Jing’s distressed look, hurried over to ask, "Jingjing, do you feel unwell?"
Honestly, seeing Jiang Jing having changed so completely these days, she regretted having raised her daughter to be so fiercely competitive.
It was just one setback from Qiao Yun, and she couldn’t handle it.
Jiang Jing shook her head feebly, her spirit seemingly shattered, "I’m fine."
She just hadn’t expected that Qiao Yun could still exceed her understanding of her.
With such a person, what could she use to compete?
"Are you really okay?" Xu Qiao didn’t believe Jiang Jing was fine; her complexion looked as if her entire family had died.
Jiang Jing didn’t want to talk anymore, rubbing her forehead in defeat.
Seeing that she couldn’t get more out of Jiang Jing, Xu Qiao didn’t press her further and said, fearing that pushing might lead to something worse, "Let’s go back to Yuncheng, right now, I’ll book the flight immediately."
Jiang Jing was puzzled, "Why the rush?"
"You don’t know, Fu Yun has been taken by the police!" Xu Qiao had her own sources, and now everyone knew that Fu Yun was Jiang Jing’s godmother. As soon as Fu Yun was taken away, someone informed her.
Jiang Jing, putting aside her sorrow, exclaimed in surprise, "How could she be taken away?"
"I’m not clear on the details, but before she was taken, she met with Pei Ya, I heard it myself."
Xu Qiao was present when Pei Ya had someone call Fu Yun away, so she firmly stated, "It must be related to Pei Ya. Do you think it might be Qiao Yun causing trouble again?"
Jiang Jing furrowed her brows.
Xu Qiao analyzed, "Qiao Yun has a good relationship with Pei Ya, and it’s possible that Qiao Yun had a hand in Fu Yun being taken away. Who would have thought that even the lady of the Huo Family could be taken by the police. Isn’t Huo Lin handling this? Or is it that he lacks the power to do so? If you look at it, Huo Lin seems less capable than Pei Ya."
Jiang Jing pressed her lips tightly, "Mom, what are you trying to say, that I’m worse off than Qiao Yun?"
"How can you talk like that?" Xu Qiao was taken aback, "I’m just trying to tell you to stay away from Qiao Yun. With the Huo Family caught up in this, it won’t be long before word gets out. We should avoid them before things blow up."
She lamented, "This godmother you acknowledged, hasn’t brought you any benefits, and now it’s brought nothing but trouble. Why do you think Fu Yun was taken away?"
Jiang Jing’s eyes flickered, revealing a trace of guilt.
To be honest, Fu Yun being taken away was somewhat related to her, as she was the one who blew in Fu Yun’s ear, causing Fu Yun to have huge misunderstandings about Qiao Yun.
She really hadn’t expected that even Fu Yun couldn’t handle Qiao Yun.
Jiang Jing pursed her lips; looking back now, she realized that ever since Qiao Yun appeared, she truly had lost more and more, ending up with nothing at all.
She suddenly felt very weary at heart, developing a sense of tiredness that made her not want to compete with Qiao Yun.
"We are leaving today." Xu Qiao didn’t know that Jiang Jing was involved; right now, she just wanted to take her daughter and get far away from the Huo Family.
"We can’t leave." Jiang Jing’s expression was obscure and hard to read, "If we leave now, what would Fu Yun think of me? Just because they have no way to deal with Pei Ya doesn’t mean they have no way to deal with our family."
Xu Qiao realized there was indeed reason in this and did not continue to persuade, but she told Jiang Jing to care less about Fu Yun in the future to avoid being implicated.
Jiang Jing nodded with apparent indifference.
Although she no longer wanted to compete with Qiao Yun, she still had to fight for what should be fought for.
Comparing the situations, it seemed that Fu Yun couldn’t offer her much anymore.
Jiang Jing took out her cell phone, looked up Su Qingyan’s number, and with eyes downcast in thought, hesitated for a long while before she finally sent a message.
At this end, Su Qingyan received the message from Jiang Jing while he was driving Su Qingqing back to the hotel.
When his phone rang, he took it out and immediately his brows furrowed.
Su Qingqing casually asked, "What’s wrong?"
Su Qingyan said, "It’s Jiang Jing. She’s asking me if I can get Pei Ya’s contact information, saying she has something important to discuss with him."
Su Qingqing suddenly remembered that on the day she arrived in Beijing, Jiang Jing had inquired about Pei Ya’s character. She expressed surprise: "She can’t really be interested in Pei Ya, can she?"
"Not sure," Su Qingyan also couldn’t figure out what Jiang Jing was up to.
Su Qingqing asked, "Are you going to give it to her?"
Su Qingyan pondered for a moment and said, "I’ll ask my cousin first."
"That works too."
Neither of them took the matter too seriously.
...
Jiang Jing didn’t receive a response from Su Qingyan, and she was somewhat anxious, but there was nothing she could do in her urgency.
She didn’t have Pei Ya’s contact information, and asking Qiao Yun was even more impossible.
The trouble with Fu Yun made her resolute in using Fu Yun’s secrets as a bargaining chip to make a deal with Pei Ya, believing that Pei Ya would be interested.
But this wasn’t a good thing; naturally, the fewer people who knew, the better.
Jiang Jing didn’t want to gain a reputation as a backstabber.
If she couldn’t make it work with Su Qingyan, she would have to think of other ways.
...
In another luxury suite on the same floor as Jiang Jing, Huo Yaozong also received news that Fu Yun had gotten into trouble and was taken away by the police, with Huo Lin following to handle the situation.
He couldn’t help but exclaim that it was karma.
Lately, Huo Lin had been driving him into a corner, causing all the companies under his name to run into deficits, and since Huo Lin acted covertly, he still had to pretend ignorance and offer appeasing smiles.
If it weren’t for certain concerns, Huo Yaozong would have long lost patience and sought out Pei Ya to cooperate in bringing down Huo Lin.
Now that he heard this good news, he quickly called to Huo Feng, "Such a big incident has occurred, we can’t just sit by and watch. Hurry up and notify our clan, tell them about this."
Huo Feng thought to himself, the things Fu Yun did could damage the Huo Family’s reputation, and he guessed the stubborn old guards of the family wouldn’t be quiet anymore.
Looking forward to the spectacle, Huo Yaozong added, "Let’s go have a look."
Huo Feng naturally had no objections, and as the two of them exited the hotel elevator and got into their car, Huo Yaozong spotted a familiar line of people from afar.
He squinted his eyes: "Isn’t that Pei Ya? And Li Hanzhou..."
He also saw Qiao Yun and Simon.
Huo Yaozong’s eyebrows furrowed slightly, wondering what these four were plotting together.
