Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 158: Chapter 158: Admitting Mistakes When You Make Them

After everyone had left, a group of people emerged from the alley nearby, watching the departing police car. The leader took out his mobile phone and made a call.

In the car.

Pei Ya saw Qiao Yun staring out the window and asked her, “What’s wrong?”

“Just now, there was someone.”

Qiao Yun glanced at the darkening sky.

Pei Ya frowned, “I’ll have someone go check it out.”

“No need.”

Qiao Yun rejected the suggestion, unsure if she had seen incorrectly.

After a moment of silence, as if thinking of a possibility, she muttered to herself, “Could it be him?”

“What?” Pei Ya didn’t catch that.

Qiao Yun shook her head, indicating it was nothing.

How could it be him.

Even if they were close, he had no need to go to such lengths to help her.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Call everyone back, let’s not bother with this matter.”

Li Hanzhou finished giving instructions and hung up the bodyguard’s call, sitting on the sofa and playing with his phone, smiling yet not smiling, “Naughty kid.”

No sooner had he sent her home than she had run off.

He had someone investigate the matter, and it didn’t take long to trace it to that gang of thugs.

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yun was a step ahead of him.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curved in a smile, his fingers distinctively loosening his tie as he relaxed comfortably.

He was certain of one thing.

Qiao Yun and Pei Ya indeed knew each other well.

From his understanding of Pei Ya, he wasn’t the type to personally intervene for someone he had just met or over such a trivial matter.

It seems the kid’s secret was more interesting than he had imagined.

After finishing her statement at the police station, Qiao Yun left, and it was already 8 pm.

On the way home, she sent a message to Xia Ling.

[The matter is resolved, rest and recover peacefully.]

Xia Ling received the message, still somewhat in disbelief. Could the issue that tormented her be resolved so quickly?

How did Qiao Yun resolve it, did the Lu Family step in?

For the first time, Xia Ling personally felt the difference between having power and being powerless.

She secretly vowed to study hard and make a name for herself.

She didn’t want to hurt any friend ever again.

When Qiao Yun got home, she didn’t tell the Lu Family about what happened at school.

She thought it was resolved and there was no need to mention it and make them worry.

She wasn’t quite comfortable with the Lu Family’s concern.

Lu Ting internally despised Qiao Yun immensely. Now that Qiao Yun was being maligned and questioned, she naturally wouldn’t play the tragic hero for her.

Previously, so many people liked her, but since Qiao Yun returned, her life had become increasingly humble.

It should have been others enhancing her, yet it turned out she was enhancing Qiao Yun.

Before going to sleep, Lu Ting found Qiao Yun and said sarcastically, “President Pei thinks highly of you. How could you use him like that? We in the Lu Family have always been upright and honest… Sister, admit it if you’ve done something wrong, and don’t do this again.”

Her words implied as if Qiao Yun had indeed learned the exam answers in advance through Pei Ya.

Qiao Yun looked at her emotionlessly and said, “It will be settled by tomorrow.”

In her heart, Lu Ting sneered, thinking Qiao Yun was stubbornly denying it, perhaps frantically worrying.

Why didn’t Qiao Yun tell her parents about this and ask for their help?

Lu Ting knew it was Lu Xue who had posted, so she was skeptical; now seeing Qiao Yun’s demeanor, she also had her doubts.

Could her grades have been fishy?

A malicious smile lifted on Lu Ting’s face.

Qiao Yun wasn’t speaking up, so she would play the good person.

Whether Qiao Yun was wrong or not, she stood to benefit.

She decided to proactively tell her parents about this, showing them that she was genuinely worried about Qiao Yun, aiming to overturn the bad impression left by her previous lies.

If Qiao Yun was at fault, then her parents could see Qiao Yun for who she truly was.

It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

Without hesitating, Lu Ting knocked on Su Mian’s room.
