Chapter 922: Chapter 922: How Does Qiao Yun Know So Many People?

Qiao Yun remained indifferent, simply taking out her phone to glance at the time and said in a lackluster voice, “You won’t be able to wait for my agreement.”

Fu Yun felt defeated, not understanding where Qiao Yun’s confidence came from.

But she soon found out.

No sooner had Qiao Yun finished speaking than the private room door was pushed open.

Without thinking, Fu Yun glared over, “Out, did I allow you to come in?”

She thought the person who had just come in was a bodyguard waiting outside.

However, when she saw who it was, her pupils sharply constricted, her heart leaping to her throat, “Li… Li Hanzhou…”

Li Hanzhou didn’t pay attention to the astonished Fu Yun. He walked in step by step, unhurriedly, and came behind Qiao Yun, slightly bending over, with one hand resting on the back of the chair Qiao Yun was sitting on, and spoke in a tender and doting voice, “Why have you come here?”

Qiao Yun looked up at him, her face innocent, “She sought me out.”

Only then did Li Hanzhou take a proper look at Fu Yun, saying with an ironic smile, “Mrs. Huo is looking for my girlfriend for something?”

His voice carried no emotion, yet still made Fu Yun struggle to breathe.

So Li Hanzhou was Qiao Yun’s confidence.

Just as she thought this, another voice came from the doorway of the private room.

“Xiaoqiao, what are you doing here?”

Qiao Se glanced at the two bodyguards lying on the ground, who were clearly beaten up, and then looked at Qiao Yun with a puzzled face.

“What’s going on here?”

Fu Yun was completely dumbfounded.

Wasn’t the kind-looking and gentle old man none other than Qiao Se himself?

She looked incredulously at the elder before her, confirming over and over again until she was certain it was indeed Qiao Se, and her face turned pale.

Li Hanzhou was one thing, but why was Qiao Se, who had refused the Huo Family, here too?

Qiao Yun obediently and cleverly responded to Qiao Se, “She won’t let me leave.”

Pointing towards Fu Yun, whose expression was eerily strange.

With a somewhat tattling manner.

Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but chuckle softly, seeing Qiaoqiao seeking aid from her elder was truly a rare sight.

“Who said you can’t leave!”

Before Qiao Se could express his opinion, the hot-tempered Zhang Lao had already rolled up his sleeves and cursed, “Looking for a beating, aren’t you?”

“You’re not young anymore, fighting all the time, aren’t you afraid of having a stroke.” Mr. Su quickly held him back.

Fu Yun’s mouth was slightly open, clearly shocked.

Zhang Lao, who controlled most of the country’s mines, and the famous artist Mr. Su, were actually defending Qiao Yun, which was completely unexpected to her.

How could Qiao Yun know so many people?

And she could tell that these people’s concern for Qiao Yun was not just because of Li Hanzhou.

Fu Yun was utterly confused.

Jiang Jing was even more incredulous as she glared at Qiao Yun, suddenly feeling as if Qiao Yun was a mountain towering over her, leaving her breathless.

“How could this be…” Jiang Jing muttered in shock; people she probably wouldn’t be able to meet in her lifetime were now appearing before her for Qiao Yun.

Jealousy filled her heart.

She couldn’t understand where she fell short compared to Qiao Yun, why Qiao Yun was superior to her in every aspect!

She was once proud to have recognized Fu Yun as her godmother, yet Qiao Yun immediately pulled out a crowd of powerful and influential people.

Fu Yun’s thoughts raced, realizing that if she didn’t handle the situation well now, it wouldn’t only affect her reputation, but the Huo Family might also make enemies with these few individuals.

Qiao Se squinted his eyes as he sized up Fu Yun for a good while before he remembered who she was, “So it’s you. You think Xiaoqiao is easy to bully because she has no elders? Let me tell you, Xiaoqiao is my granddaughter. Whoever dares to bully her is making an enemy of my Qiao Family. Let me make this clear, don’t even think about asking anyone from my Qiao family to save any of you from the Huo family in this lifetime.”

Do not offend little people, especially not doctors.

After all, a doctor can save your life, especially when they come from a medical family renowned for their excellent skills.

Fu Yun went blank, and when she spoke again, she no longer had the superiority she had before: “Mr. Qiao, this is a misunderstanding, I simply had something I wanted her help with.”

Qiao Yun said, “I won’t help.”

“Did you hear that? Xiaoqiao said she won’t help,” Zhang said in a rough and gruff voice. “Are you trying to force Xiaoqiao to help?”

Fu Yun’s expression was embarrassed; indeed, she had that idea, but she also intended to offer Qiao Yun benefits, not to let her help without reward.

Of course, Fu Yun dared not say this, as the elderly people in front of her all seemed like the type who would not be reasonable.

She looked at Qiao Yun, who appeared obedient, feeling regretful about having been too harsh earlier.

Fu Yun was the most respected woman in the Huo Family, always a figure of respect, but now she dared not act recklessly in front of these elders.

If it were just one, she could handle it.

But facing such a group, if they all became enemies of the Huo Family, that would be truly troublesome!

But still…

Would these people really become enemies of the Huo Family just for one Qiao Yun?

Probably not.

No smart person would make an enemy out of a large family clan for the sake of someone who could not benefit them and who wasn’t a relative.

Fu Yun suddenly felt assured and said in a softer tone: “The favor I’m asking of Qiao Yun is very important to our Huo Family. In fact, it’s not a bad thing, quite the opposite, it’s beneficial for her. If you gentlemen could persuade her, our Huo Family will certainly repay today’s kindness.”

The favor from the Huo Family should be considered by them.

Who would have thought.

Her words had completely crossed the line for these old folks.

Zhang bluntly said: “What’s so great about the Huo Family? Who needs your favor? Is that more important than Xiaoqiao?”

Qiao Se sneered: “Xiaoqiao needs your benefits? Anything she wants, we, the few old fellows here, can provide; it hasn’t come to your turn!”

Fu Yun was stunned as if she had been slapped in the face.

The favor of the Huo Family, something countless people craved, yet these people despised it as if it were trash.

She realized once again that Qiao Yun might hold a very high status in the hearts of this group of people.

Fu Yun knew the situation was extremely unfavorable for her, and enduring the discomfort, she said hastily: “Since that’s the case, I won’t insist any further.”

Jiang Jing had been under pressure not to speak, but when she saw Fu Yun about to leave, she quickly stood up.

“Mrs. Huo, don’t hurry off.”

Fu Yun paused her steps, turning to look at the person who had spoken.

Li Hanzhou was wearing a casual smile, toying with Qiao Yun’s delicate little hand, his voice light and teasing: “Qiaoqiao didn’t say you could leave, what’s the rush?”

Fu Yun’s expression changed.

Suddenly, she felt a sense of evil force reverberating back.

Fu Yun said incredulously, “Mr. Li, what do you mean by that? Are you trying to detain me?”

Qiao Yun curled her lip, remembering how righteous Fu Yun felt when she wanted to detain her earlier, and now when it was turned on her, she wore a look of indignation.

Is this the so-called double standard?

Li Hanzhou raised his hand and pointed to the place in front, gesturing for Fu Yun and Jiang Jing to sit back down, his mouth holding a smile: “You can leave if you wish, just have Huo Lin come and ransom you.”

Fu Yun looked as if she had been struck by lightning, Li Hanzhou was clearly humiliating her!

The idea that she, the esteemed lady of the Huo Family, would need her son to redeem her was ridiculous and would be laughable if known publicly!
