Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 153: Chapter 153: Are You a Hidden Tycoon?

Qiao Yun declined, “I will handle it properly.”

She had involved Xia Ling once and wouldn’t involve her a second time.

Xia Ling felt ashamed of her actions, “Unless I come out and clarify, it will be hard for you to prove yourself…”

Qiao Yun spoke calmly, “Xia Ling, you’re still young. I’m not like you.”

Xia Ling: “…”

Have you forgotten that I’m even four months older than you!?

“This has nothing to do with you, stay out of it,” Qiao Yun instructed her.

Xia Ling’s face turned red instantly.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

She understood what Qiao Yun meant.

If she came out and said it was her doing,

her days at school would definitely be tough, and her friends would certainly distance themselves from her.

Qiao Yun was protecting her reputation.

Tears welled up in Xia Ling’s eyes and her voice was hoarse, “Those people are terrifying, I’m afraid for you too…”

“Let me tell you something,” Qiao Yun suddenly said with a serious face, “actually, I’m very wealthy, wealthier than the Lu Family.”

Xia Ling: “What?”

“So, don’t worry, money makes the devil turn the millstone for me.”

Qiao Yun seemed to be joking, Xia Ling wasn’t sure if she should laugh…

This isn’t funny at all.

Xia Ling forced a smile, “So you’re a hidden tycoon, huh?”

Qiao Yun corrected her, “Not a tycoon, the richest of them all.”

Xia Ling: “…”

My smile is getting stiff.

“Leave it to me,” Qiao Yun said decisively.

Xia Ling’s emotions were mixed.

She regretted not being kind to Qiao Yun when she had first transferred to the school, and instead had distanced herself due to some rumors.

If it hadn’t been for this incident, she would never have known how steadfast, reliable, and kind-hearted Qiao Yun was.

Qiao Yun didn’t stay at the hospital for long. Once Xia Ling’s mother returned, she left.

Outside the hospital.

Qiao Yun immediately saw Li Hanzhou.

Because he was too conspicuous.

Wearing a white shirt and suit pants, his posture upright, his demeanor laid-back.

Many passersby couldn’t help but follow him with their gazes.

This man seemed to attract anyone’s attention no matter where he went.

Qiao Yun looked up at the sky, the sun so intense, wasn’t he hot? Why insist on standing outside the car?

Li Hanzhou’s gaze fell on Qiao Yun’s face, as if trying to discern something.

Qiao Yun maintained a calm expression, her composure not befitting her age, but because of her youthful face, Li Hanzhou found it amusing.

Hmm.

And cute.

“Ready to go back?” Li Hanzhou asked her.

Qiao Yun glanced at the time. School was over, “Going home.”

Li Hanzhou didn’t say anything more; he opened the car door for Qiao Yun first, helping her get seated before he got in himself.

After dropping Qiao Yun off at the Lu Family’s, Li Hanzhou rolled down the car window and reminded her, “You owe me a meal.”

“I know, anytime,” she responded.

Qiao Yun looked at him, her clear eyes glistening with the sunset’s light, as beautiful as obsidian.

Li Hanzhou squinted his eyes and suddenly said, “I’ve changed my mind, forget the meal, let me ruffle your hair instead.”

“…”

Qiao Yun’s eyelid twitched, and she came to a conclusion about Li Hanzhou’s behavior.

“You’re acting like a hooligan now. Grandpa says when you face a hooligan, you should fight.”

Li Hanzhou: “…”

He was heart-stricken, Qiao Yun was serious!

Of course, Qiao Yun didn’t actually hit Li Hanzhou.

After successfully sending Li Hanzhou away irritated, Qiao Yun waited another minute before a car stopped in front of her.

Then, several men in black suits and strong builds got out.

They first greeted Qiao Yun respectfully.

Then they opened the car door for her with both respect and fear.

Qiao Yun got in.

The suited men skillfully got into another car.

Not far away, Su Mian, carrying the groceries she had just purchased, witnessed everything.

She stood there, uncertain, utterly overwhelmed.
