Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Sister, Save Me

The server brought over the dishes, followed by a young man with a smile on his face.

“Li Ge, it really is you.”

This restaurant was newly opened by Shen Qi’s friend, and he was here to show support today. Hearing that Li Hanzhou was also here, he came over to say hello.

His gaze swept across the room and paused upon seeing Qiao Yun, “Hi, remember me?”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Remember, met once.”

Shen Qi wanted to say something else, but Li Hanzhou interrupted him by tapping his fingers on the table.

“You’ve said your hello, you can step back now.”

Looking at the visible disdain on Li Hanzhou’s face, Shen Qi was bewildered.

What’s wrong with him?

Li Hanzhou was also quite helpless, thinking how hard it was to have a meal with the kids.

Shen Qi didn’t understand Li Hanzhou’s thoughts and simply sat down, “Let’s eat together, saves me from being bored alone.”

Of course, he wasn’t alone, but compared to those fair-weather friends, good brothers were more important.

Li Hanzhou didn’t speak, which was as good as a consent.

Shen Qi then asked him, “By the way, are you really not going to the seminar?”

Li Hanzhou, just about to speak, suddenly asked Qiao Yun, “Little friend, do you want your brother to take you out and show you the world?”

“No need.” Qiao Yun picked up a piece of meat and ate it, her cheeks puffing out.

Li Hanzhou propped his chin, lazily looking at her, “The seminar actually suits your temperament quite well.”

They’re all old-fashioned, and Qiao Yun is a little old-fashioned.

Qiao Yun: “…”

Shen Qi laughed and joined in, “Many famous scholars will attend the seminar, and it might be helpful for your studies. Ordinary people can’t get in, but with Li Ge taking you, it should be no problem.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“No need.” Qiao Yun refused without any hesitation.

Li Hanzhou was invited to go, but she was begged to attend.

She knew how many of those people had been taught or mentored by her, she didn’t want their help.

“If you don’t want to go, then don’t,” Li Hanzhou indulged Qiao Yun, causing Shen Qi to widen his eyes in surprise.

Holy shit, there’s a story here!

But he quickly dismissed the idea. Li Ge wasn’t beastly enough to lay a hand on a little girl—that would be harming the future flower of the nation.

After the meal, Li Hanzhou wanted to send Qiao Yun home.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun refused, “I still have things to do.”

Li Hanzhou noticed during the meal that Qiao Yun always glanced at her phone from time to time.

He didn’t ask what it was, although he felt slightly disappointed he couldn’t talk more with the kid.

After everyone left, Qiao Yun got into a car parked by the side of the road.

Once inside, Zhou You asked her, “Professor Qiao, shall we go back?”

“Wait a moment.”

Qiao Yun’s eyelids drooped, seemingly very tired.

Zhou You responded, “Yes.”

And sat up straight, waiting for Professor Qiao’s order.

The silence inside the car made Zhou You’s breathing seem much lighter.

He couldn’t help but glance at Qiao Yun in the back seat through the rearview mirror.

Her eyes were closed as if she were sleeping or perhaps thinking about something.

Zhou You didn’t dare look too long, so he withdrew his gaze and thoughtfully closed the car window, as the late autumn days were getting colder.

After waiting for about fifteen minutes.

Qiao Yun’s phone rang.

She sluggishly picked up the phone and answered the call unhurriedly.

“Sis, save me…”

Lu Ting’s anxious voice immediately came through the earpiece.

Qiao Yun’s face remained calm, as if she had anticipated this. Her delicate fingers tapped against the car window repeatedly.

“Why should I save you?”

“Do you want Mom and Dad to know that you stood by and did nothing for me?”

For the first time, Lu Ting yelled in a loss of control, with such extreme panic that she didn’t notice.

When Qiao Yun said that, she displayed no surprise, seemingly already knowing that the call would come.

“So what?” Qiao Yun’s voice was cold.
