Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 980: Don’t You Feel Guilty Saying This?
After the dinner party.
Qiao Yun received a call, and after listening to what the other party said, she emotionlessly told them, "I know."
After hanging up, she then said to Li Hanzhou, "Let’s go somewhere."
Li Hanzhou did not hesitate and said, "I’ll go with you."
"Okay." Qiao Yun did not turn him down.
The old Madam Li overheard and hurriedly said, "Qiaoqiao, if you have something to attend to, you can go ahead. No need to see me off."
Qiao Yun nodded, greeted her family, and then left with Li Hanzhou.
Li Miao pouted, clinging to her grandmother’s arm with a pitiful sigh, "Ever since Qiaoqiao got a brother, she has stopped playing with me."
She was only here to accompany them today, and with the Great Demon King around, she hardly got to speak a few words with Qiaoqiao.
The old Madam Li smiled and said, "Then you should find someone too, so you can have company to play with."
Upon hearing this, Li Miao subconsciously glanced at the sleek and imposing Lu Shiran.
Lu Shiran glanced at her and grinned, "What’s up?"
Li Miao blinked rapidly and then glared at Lu Shiran.
Lu Shiran: ??? Why loathe him like that?
Li Miao turned her head and murmured to Madam Li, "Grandma, I don’t want to find anyone, I’m going to be a strong, independent woman in the future."
The old Madam Li was amused, "Alright, grandma supports you."
Li Miao nodded emphatically.
She couldn’t believe she actually thought for a moment to find Lu Shiran for company.
Shit!
Banish the nightmare.
She doesn’t like dumb guys; if she really had to choose, it would have to be a warm-hearted man.
...
In the car.
Li Hanzhou turned his head to look at Qiao Yun and spoke slowly, "The ring."
Qiao Yun responded in confusion, "What about it?"
"The ring grandma gave you is a hereditary heirloom of the family. Holding that ring means you will be the matriarch of the Li Family." Li Hanzhou spoke without a trace of emotion, "Grandma giving you the ring at this time was unexpected. If you don’t want it..."
At this point, he swallowed hard, his gaze deepening.
He hoped Qiao Yun would accept it, but perhaps this was too sudden for her.
"Why wouldn’t I want it." Qiao Yun said with a serious face, "Did you want to give it to someone else?"
"No," Li Hanzhou quickly denied, "I only want to give it to you."
Qiao Yun nodded, "So it’s mine now."
Fearing that Qiao Yun might not understand, Li Hanzhou explained in another way, "Accepting the ring means you’ll eventually marry me and start a family..."
"I know." Qiao Yun said without any psychological burden, curiously, "You don’t want to marry me?"
A look of surprise flashed through Li Hanzhou’s eyes, seemingly not expecting Qiao Yun to say that.
Qiao Yun said, "But I’m not yet of legal marriageable age, so we can’t get married."
Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but chuckle softly.
Professor Qiao is still straightforward as ever.
He took Qiao Yun’s hand, sincerely saying, "Qiaoqiao, I’m very happy that you can choose me."
Qiao Yun couldn’t understand what Li Hanzhou was so happy about; after dating, isn’t marriage the next step?
Men, they are really too hard to guess.
...
Meanwhile.
"Can’t find the person?"
Huo Lin looked at the person across from him with a gloomy gaze, his tone oppressive.
The bodyguard felt a chill down his spine, nodding and bowing as he admitted his mistake: "Young Master, by the time we arrived, the person had already run away, and we have already started searching."
Huo Lin’s expression changed multiple times, his gaze obscure and difficult to read.
He was in a very bad mood now.
He thought he had Jiang Jing well under control, but she managed to escape from under his watch repeatedly, which was an outright slap in his face.
However, one thing had to be admitted.
Jiang Jing was smarter than he imagined.
She must have sensed something was wrong and ran away again.
But as long as Jiang Jing was in Yuncheng, he would be able to find her.
Huo Lin’s tone was solemn: "Find her as soon as possible."
"Yes."
Huo Lin thought to himself, Jiang Jing, if she did not know so much, could have been a talent worth cultivating, but unfortunately, she knew too much.
She was destined not to be used by the Huo Family.
...
At this moment, Jiang Jing, whom Huo Lin believed had escaped, was being guarded along with Xu Qiao in an abandoned warehouse.
Jiang Jing looked at the burly man in front of her, her face gradually paling.
Xu Qiao protectively held Jiang Jing close, her body trembling, voice quivering: "What exactly do you want to do? Is this a kidnapping? I can give you whatever amount you want, just let us go."
But Jiang Jing didn’t think these people were here for a simple kidnapping; they might be Huo Lin’s men.
Could Huo Lin really be intending to kill her?
Thinking of this, Jiang Jing couldn’t help but feel frightened and tremulously asked, "Did Huo Lin send you?"
"The Huo Family can’t instruct me yet."
The burly man, Zhou You, sneered disdainfully.
Jiang Jing swallowed hard: "If not Huo Lin, then who?"
Zhou You said menacingly, "What’s with all the useless talk? You’ll find out soon enough."
After all, Jiang Jing was still young and intimidated by such a glare, she dared not speak any further.
Her heart filled with panic and unease, guessing who could have kidnapped her, and for what purpose? What did they want from her?
It wasn’t long before Jiang Jing knew who it was.
When Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou walked into the warehouse, Jiang Jing’s pupils dilated bit by bit, her mouth slightly agape, her eyes filled with disbelief.
A moment later, she found her voice again, unable to control her volume, she shouted, "Qiao Yun!? It’s you!"
"It’s me." Qiao Yun thought for a moment, adding a phrase that Li Miao often said: "Surprised or not, unexpected or expected?"
Jiang Jing: "..."
There was no surprise, only shock.
She was stunned for a long time, never imagining that the person who had kidnapped her was actually Qiao Yun, whom she was seeking, leaving her still somewhat in shock.
Xu Qiao indignantly said: "What do you want to do? You know this is kidnapping, right?"
"Oh." Qiao Yun said indifferently: "So do you two want to go back to the Huo Family?"
Xu Qiao choked.
The air turned utterly silent.
Jiang Jing thought a lot at this moment, unsure if Qiao Yun had kidnapped her because she had discovered something.
Yet there she was, looking dignified, while Jiang Jing’s appearance was completely disheveled.
Unable to hold back, she spoke with sarcasm: "Are you here to enjoy my downfall? I’ve reached this state, and you must be pleased, right? This is what you wanted, isn’t it? If not for you, how could I end up like this!"
If she had not wanted to compete with Qiao Yun, she would not have recognized Fu Yun as her godmother, nor would she have been involved in this matter, and she would not have to be hiding everywhere now.
Why should she be so miserable while the instigator lives comfortably!
Qiao Yun’s expression was cold: "You ended up like this because of your own doing, nobody forced you, I have never considered you my rival."
Jiang Jing laughed harshly: "You deliberately made me fail in Tianqi, spoke ill of me in front of Fu Yun, and suppressed me during the tournament! You say you never considered me a rival! Don’t you feel guilty saying that?"
