Chapter 928: Chapter 928: Deeply Hidden Secret

After packing their luggage and having breakfast, the Su Family took a minivan to send them to the airport.

At the airport, once the check-in procedures were completed, Su Fan’s reluctance to part began to show.

“Big sister, come back to visit us whenever you have time.”

Su Mian nodded: “I know, you all should head back now.”

In the past, because she did not get along with Ye Miaoshan, she rarely visited, and since Qiao Yun was lost in Yuncheng, she was even more unwilling to return to this place of sorrow.

But things are different now, her daughter has been found, and Ye Miaoshan no longer has the chance to mock her, so she is actually quite willing to come back for visits.

After all, Su Mian has now made it clear.

Yuncheng holds a different significance for Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun’s other home is here.

On one side, the siblings were parting with reluctance, while on the other, Su Qingqing was holding Qiao Yun, her voice soft and tender, “Cousin, remember to miss me, I will miss you a lot.”

Qiao Yun is more delicate than Su Qingqing, and being held in Su Qingqing’s arms, she looks just like a doll.

She felt stiff all over, and lifted her hand to push Su Qingqing, trying to make her loosen her grip a bit.

Held too tightly.

She was almost suffocating!

Thinking that it would be a long time before she could hold such an adorably cute little cousin, Su Qingqing’s heart shattered, sighing, “Only if you were part of my family.”

Lu Shiran quickly pulled Qiao Yun from Su Qingqing’s arms and shielded her behind him, saying sternly, “Stop dreaming, sister is part of our family.”

Su Qingqing rolled her eyes at Lu Shiran, “Do you have to be so petty?”

Ever since the whole family learned of her true nature, she couldn’t be bothered to pretend anymore.

Gentle outside, but a tomboy at home who loves to pick her feet.

Lu Shiran indicated, yes, he was that petty.

Su Qingqing shook her head: “Shiran, you really are too unlovable.”

Lu Shiran thought speechlessly, he is a grown man, what does he need ‘lovable’ for?

Su Qingyan chuckled, “Qingqing, that’s enough, stop causing trouble. Aren’t you going to Beijing City with me in a few days? Then you can see each other.”

Qiao Yun looked towards Su Qingqing.

Su Qingqing with an embarrassed face, “I just wanted to hear a few sweet words from my cousin.”

Qiao Yun understood and obediently said, “Sister, I will miss you a lot.”

Su Qingqing was happy, “How much will you miss me?”

Qiao Yun thought for a moment, then spread her arms and measured, “This—-much.”

Su Qingqing was amused, smiling from ear to ear.

Seeing Su Qingqing happy made Qiao Yun feel happy as well.

It’s easy to please sister.

Li Hanzhou watched from the side and chuckled softly.

This little grown-up act was indeed quite adorable.

Then Su Qingqing pinched Little Miaomiao’s cheek again, “Little Miaomiao, come find me when you have time.”

Li Miao said unclearly, “Okay, sister, no problem, sister, but could you please stop pinching my cheek? ”

Su Qingqing couldn’t help but pinch again, the feeling was just so nice, squishy and soft, a pure bun-face is just great to pinch.

Li Miao: “…”

“Qiaoqiao, it’s time to go,” Su Mian called Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun hummed in agreement, then said goodbye to Su Qingqing and Su Qingyan.

“Cousin, have a smooth journey,” Su Qingyan said with a smile, the already handsome young man looking even more dazzling.

Qiao Yun was momentarily stunned, waved at him, then took Li Hanzhou’s hand and walked towards the boarding gate.

…

Meanwhile, behind a nearby electronic screen.

“Don’t crowd, why the pushing, be careful not to get caught.”

Han Four pushed the brothers behind him and complained, “The airport is so big, can’t you go somewhere else? Why do you have to squeeze in here with me?”

“Shut up, don’t block me, I almost can’t see the teacher anymore.”

Han Two suppressed Han Four’s big head with one hand, stretching his neck to look at Qiao Yun walking towards the boarding gate, and took out a tissue from his pocket to wipe at the non-existent tears at the corner of his eyes.

“After this time, who knows when we can see the teacher again, probably have to wait another year and a half.”

Han Four boasted, “That’s not interesting at all, I will be able to see the teacher very soon.”

He still has to attend the exchange meeting, after all.

Han Two glared at him fiercely, then clasped his hands around his neck and shook his head, “Darn it, I can’t believe there comes a day when I would actually envy you, an idiot.”

Han Four: Help! Murder!

Passersby gave weird looks to the sneaky Han brothers and quietly stayed away from them.

Han Three twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling they were utterly humiliating.

Meanwhile, Han Five asked curiously, “Speaking of which, we’re just seeing someone off, why do we have to be so sneaky?”

“…”

Gah.

The atmosphere froze for a few seconds.

Han Two let go of Han Four’s neck, stroking his chin solemnly, “This makes us seem mysterious, don’t you know, Fifth Brother? You’re still too young, you need to keep a low profile, understand?”

Han Five with an enlightened face, “I see.”

The secret to being low-profile is to be sneaky.

Han Two: “…” There’s something off here.

Suddenly, they weren’t sure if it was just their imagination, but did Professor Qiao just glance over here a moment ago?

The Han brothers quickly withdrew their heads, anxiously muttering.

“Did the teacher look at us just now?”

“No way, the teacher doesn’t know we’re here.”

Han Five posed a soul-searching question, “Wait, we’re just here to see off the teacher, why would we be afraid?”

Han brothers: Oh, it’s just habit.

Qiao Yun withdrew her gaze expressionlessly.

Li Hanzhou’s gaze landed on Qiao Yun’s clear and beautiful eyes, “What are you looking at?”

Qiao Yun said, “They came.”

Li Hanzhou raised his eyebrow.

Qiao Yun explained, “Han Wang told me.” She then shook her head, “Why are they still so cowardly.”

Li Hanzhou thought to himself, if they are cowardly, then there are no cowardly people in this world.

“Want to go over and find them?”

“No need.” Qiao Yun decisively pulled Li Hanzhou away.

…

Jiang Jing did not expect to be on the same flight as Qiao Yun, she initially wanted to ignore Qiao Yun.

She is not yet powerful enough, bumping into Qiao Yun would be nothing but self-humiliation.

What she did not expect was to see Su Qingyan coming to send off Qiao Yun.

She stood there, watching Su Qingyan give Qiao Yun a gentle smile he has never shown her.

But strangely, she did not feel the usual anger in her heart.

Having witnessed a different social class, she suddenly understood that only when she is powerful enough, could she get what she wants.

Jiang Shaocheng followed Jiang Jing’s gaze, and his brows instantly furrowed, he said in a low voice, “Still thinking about Su Qingyan?”

Jiang Jing did not answer, her gaze shifted to Qiao Yun, and thoughtfully said, “Dad, how do you think Qiao Yun got to know so many people?”

Jiang Shaocheng replied, “Maybe Mr. Li introduced them to her. At her age, to have such encounters, she really is lucky.”

However, Jiang Jing did not see it that way.

At that teahouse, she saw very clearly that those old gentlemen weren’t standing up for Qiao Yun just because of Li Hanzhou’s influence.

They were genuinely angry.

With her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, she really couldn’t figure out what the deal with Qiao Yun was.

She used to think that Qiao Yun was just a country bumpkin who had grown up in a rural area.

The appearance of the Qiao Family had slapped her in the face, hard.

The series of events that followed made her more and more unable to see through Qiao Yun.

Jiang Jing’s eyes darkened slightly: “I was blinded by jealousy before, but now that I think about it, I always feel there are many mysteries about her.”

“Don’t always focus on her,” said Jiang Shaocheng. “Perform well on this trip to Beijing, it’s a good opportunity.”

Jiang Jing withdrew her gaze from Qiao Yun and nodded: “I know.”

Jiang Shaocheng thought Jiang Jing didn’t understand, but now he really couldn’t control her. Her mind was set, for example, the matter of acknowledging Fu Yun as her godmother, which he initially opposed, but Jiang Jing wouldn’t listen.

Now it’s done; With Huo Research Institute in trouble, the Jiang Family, being the closest to the Huo Family, has also become a subject of gossip.

Xu Qiao inquired, “Jingjing, have you said goodbye to Mrs. Huo?”

Although the Huo Family was in trouble, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.

She was still wary of Fu Yun.

Jiang Jing replied indifferently, “My godmother is going to Beijing soon.”

Xu Qiao was puzzled, “What is she going there for?”

Jiang Jing smiled, “To see someone, I guess.”

She suspected that Pei Yao had already returned to Beijing, otherwise Fu Yun wouldn’t be in such a hurry.

And…

Jiang Jing’s eyes flickered.

She didn’t expect Fu Yun to be Pei Yao’s aunt and that there were so many things between them.

Thinking about visiting Fu Yun before leaving, she hadn’t anticipated Huo Lin would agree to let her see Fu Yun at all.

Probably he wanted her to coax Fu Yun.

However, she didn’t know who Fu Yun mistook her for. Before she could speak, Fu Yun shrank into the corner of the bed, terrified, crying out in a panic.

“Why are you here again? Don’t come here anymore. I was wrong. I really know I was wrong.”

“I didn’t know he would really do it. Forgive me, I couldn’t stop him… I can’t leave the Huo Family.”

“I’ll take good care of Jiujiu. I’ve found him. I’ll treat him like my own son. Please, don’t come looking for me anymore.”

Jiang Jing’s heart was pounding, almost jumping out of her throat.

Inadvertently, she had stumbled upon a deep secret of Fu Yun, which might be unknown even to Huo Lin.

She was aware that with this leverage, she could do a lot.

She could benefit from Fu Yun, which could be used as a bargaining chip with Pei Yao.

But for now, she didn’t want to exploit this secret for anything, she needed to consider carefully how to use them.

The deeper Jiang Jing thought about it, the deeper her smile became, as if she could already see the day she would rise to great heights.

Xu Qiao didn’t realize that, unknowingly, Jiang Jing was no longer the daughter she had known. Xu Qiao said with a gentle smile, “Go on in, and when you get to Beijing, call back to let us know you’re safe. Your brother is still young, our family’s future relies on you.”

Jiang Jing had long grown accustomed to being instilled by her parents with the notion that she needed to help her brother, she absentmindedly said, “I’m leaving, you guys should head back.”

Xu Qiao and Jiang Shaocheng didn’t leave, they watched Jiang Jing till they could no longer see her figure before they departed.

…

A few hours later, the plane landed at Beijing Airport.

After collecting their luggage, a family walked out of the airport.

Lu Jingzhi was anxiously waiting and hurriedly waved at them when he saw them arriving.

Su Mian walked over first, smiling, “Big Brother, why did you come personally?”

Lu Jingzhi’s gaze shifted stealthily towards Qiao Yun, quietly sizing her up. Seeing her in high spirits, he felt relieved.

Su Mian understood, well, her eldest son came here for Qiaoqiao.

It had been nearly two months since they last met, but to Lu Jingzhi, it felt like a century had passed. Qiao Yun hadn’t changed much, but he was already feeling constrained.

All the mental preparation she had done was as good as wasted; it seemed as though she had instantly reverted to the time she first realized she had deeply misunderstood Qiao Yun.

He had never been like this before, only his sister could make him so cautious and careful.

Lu Jingzhi pursed his lips and tentatively said to Qiao Yun, “Little sister, shall I help you with your luggage?”

Qiao Yun’s luggage wasn’t large, just fifteen inches.

Without any hesitation, Qiao Yun simply agreed, and Lu Jingzhi joyfully took over the suitcase.

It was as if what he was holding wasn’t a suitcase but rather some kind of rare treasure.

This behavior rendered Qiao Yun silent for a moment.

Frankly, the more cautious Lu Jingzhi was around her, the less she knew how to interact with him.

Therefore, Qiao Yun could only let things take their natural course.

However, precisely because Qiao Yun was letting things take their natural course, it led Lu Jingzhi to think that his little sister still disliked him, which made him even more cautious.

Lu Jingzhi, with his hand on the luggage handle, kept frowning and looked at Qiao Yun as if he had something to say but stopped himself.

Qiao Yun: “…”

In a muted voice, Qiao Yun told Lu Jingzhi, “We’re home.”

Those few short words finally eased the tension in Lu Jingzhi’s body, and he smiled, “Yes, let’s go home.”

Su Mian shook her head speechlessly.

Only Qiaoqiao had the ability to handle big brother.

Li Hanzhou did not leave with Qiao Yun; his driver was already waiting outside for him.

He pulled Li Miao over to Qiao Yun and said, “I need to make a trip home first.”

“Okay,” Qiao Yun replied sweetly, “Please say hello to Grandpa Li for me.”

Li Hanzhou gave a response with a nod.

Li Miao said cheerfully, “Qiaoqiao, I had so much fun these past two months. Let’s go play in Yuncheng again when we have a break.”

Qiao Yun nodded, then Li Miao reluctantly got into her family car.

Then Qiao Yun also turned to get into the car.

First, they went to the old house for dinner with the old lady, and then they drove home.

By the time they arrived home, it was already late.

After exchanging pleasantries with her family, Qiao Yun went upstairs. She freshened up and then sent a message to the people in Yuncheng to let them know she was safe.

Then she washed up and changed into her pajamas.

Lying on the soft bed, Qiao Yun felt suddenly at ease for some reason.

She thought it might be because she was home.

Home, huh?

Qiao Yun curved her eyes into a smile, realizing what it felt like to have a home.

…

A few days later.

At Fu Yun’s insistent requests, even knowing that her mother’s trip to Shangjing City was to find Pei Ya, Huo Lin still took her to Shangjing City.

At the same time, Adrian also flew over from M country to prepare for the exchange meeting.

Qiao Yun knew about this.

Because someone sent her a photo.

[S: Q, I’m already on my way, look who I ran into – it’s Adrian from the Future Alliance [photo]]

[S: Wow, he really talks a lot. I just want to sleep well. Why does he keep chatting with me and keeps asking about you?]

[S: I told him you were already in Beijing. He wants to invite you for a meal and asked me to pass on the message.]

[S: I know you don’t like strangers, so I turned him down.]

[S: Later he said he wants to invite me to dinner, rumored to be at Beijing’s best five-star hotel. ]

Qiao Yun glanced down at the message he had sent, then looked up at the best five-star hotel in front of her in Beijing, her expression slightly speechless.
