Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 346: Chapter 346: I Know Who Wants to Kill You
 

Lu Xian heard this and frowned, disagreeing, “Let’s talk about this after his college entrance exam, then see what he wants. At this stage, it’s still about focusing on his studies.”

Being busy with work, his opportunities to see Shiran were rare, and their father-son relationship wasn’t very strong.

But he still knew about Shiran’s hobbies and knew that he wasn’t interested in the family business.

He respected his son’s opinions a lot.

Qin Huan held back, then said, “As parents, if we don’t push him, he’ll never strive for more.”

Lu Xian laughed, “He could go into scientific research in the future. How can you say he’s not striving for more? If he achieves something significant, he could be renowned for ages, isn’t that better than being a businessman?”

The more he thought about it, the more he felt it was feasible, so he discussed it with Qin Huan.

“If he’s still interested in this field when he’s older, we can focus on nurturing him. As for the group, we don’t need him, there are others like his younger brother.”

Qin Huan secretly clenched her teeth, but if she continued, Lu Xian might start to suspect her motives.

She could only swallow her rage.

She had chosen Lu Xian in the first place because he was good-natured, finding the perfect moment to deliberately climb into his bed.

Had she known that both the old and the young had so little ambition, she should have entangled herself with Lu Rui, perhaps then she’d be looking at a completely different landscape now!

After Lu Xian went to wash up, Qin Huan took out her phone and walked to the balcony to make a call.

“I have a job for you.”

She thought.

She didn’t want to do this, it was Lu Rui and his people who pushed people too far.

…

Late at night, probably influenced by Shiran, Qiao Yun had some trouble sleeping.

She got up, planning to walk in the garden.

Thinking it over, she also took a scarf.

It was early winter, and the weather was getting colder.

Qiao Yun thought she was the only one who couldn’t sleep, but unexpectedly saw someone else.

The man stood under the pavilion, his back forlorn, with thick smoke drifting in front of him.

Qiao Yun frowned, walked up, and said abruptly, “Smoking is bad for your health.”

Lu Zhanxing got a fright from the sudden sound behind him, but thankfully he had a strong heart, otherwise he would surely have been scared to death.

Seeing it was Qiao Yun, he sheepishly snuffed out his cigarette, defending himself.

“I rarely smoke, only when I have troubling thoughts.”

Qiao Yun asked, “What troubling thoughts?”

She might not act the role of a big sister who confides, but she could be a little sister who did.

Lu Zhanxing smiled but didn’t specify what troubled him, and instead asked about Shiran, “How is that lad Shiran doing?”

He had heard that Qiao Yun and Shiran were building robots and was curious, which made him want to check.

With Professor Qiao involved, it must be something brilliant.

Unexpectedly, at the doorway, he heard the conversation between Qin Huan and Shiran.

It was also the first time Lu Zhanxing understood Qin Huan’s true nature.

Qiao Yun said emotionlessly, “He’s not doing too well.”

Lu Zhanxing sneered, “If I had that kind of mom, I wouldn’t be doing well either.”

This great-aunt really knew how to pretend, maintaining it for over a decade. He hadn’t realized she still had her mind set on the inheritance.

Lu Zhanxing wasn’t worried at all; instead, he even wanted to rush to the old man and tell him, who said no one cared about the inheritance anymore.

Look at Qin Huan, always thinking about it.

It was also in that moment he realized his sister might have been intentionally lost by Qin Huan, probably also related to the inheritance.

Qiao Yun neither agreed nor disagreed, looking up at Lu Zhanxing, “When are you leaving?”

As a celebrity, he had many engagements. His being able to come back this time must have required him to cancel many appointments.

However, he probably couldn’t stay long.

Surprisingly, Lu Zhanxing shook his head, “I’ll stay for a while, at least until the kidnapping issue is resolved.”

Qiao Yun said, “Xie Ying will be furious.”

Lu Zhanxing then laughed, “Definitely going to be furious, but I have no choice, I need to look after you.”

“I don’t need you to watch over me.”

“I just want to keep you company. You’ve been back for so long, and we haven’t spent much time together.”

Lu Zhanxing blamed himself for not taking good care of Qiao Yun, letting her suffer at their eldest brother’s.

Qiao Yun knew that once Lu Zhanxing made up his mind about something, it was hard to change it, so she didn’t say anything.

Lu Zhanxing looked at the obedient and cute Qiao Yun, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth, glimpsing the scarf around her neck.

He was slightly surprised, “Did mom and dad buy that for you?”

He couldn’t be mistaken, that logo belonged to a very famous top designer.

“No, Han Zhou gave it to me.” Qiao Yun told the truth, “Is it pretty?”

Lu Zhanxing forced a small smile, “Pretty, very pretty.”

Qiao Yun squinted, “I think it’s pretty too.”

A gift from a good friend must be pretty.

Lu Zhanxing: “…”

What to do, how to make the little white rabbit see the true face of the big bad wolf?

After standing for a while, Lu Zhanxing rubbed his arms, “Uh… why are we standing in the cold? It feels stupid.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

Lu Zhanxing: “Let’s go back to sleep, otherwise we’ll end up with dark circles tomorrow.”

“Okay, goodnight.”

Qiao Yun didn’t want to be foolish, so she decided to go back to sleep.

Barely back in her room, she received a message from Han Zhou: “I know who wants to kill you.”

Qiao Yun silently typed out a question mark: ?

She was speechless—was Han Zhou still guessing?

How persistent could someone be?
