Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 48: Catching the Cheater

Editor: Inschain

Shengqiao Group’s Pei Ya actually brought a woman home?

Huge news!

He squinted his eyes, and upon seeing Qiao Yun’s tender and reflective face under the sun, he was completely shocked.

He immediately took out his phone to share the gossip with his close friend.

[Li bro, Shengqiao’s Pei Ya brought a woman home, if this gets out, it will definitely trend!]

[It has nothing to do with me.]Li Hanzhou replied.

[No no, the person Pei Ya brought home, you know her too, she’s the girl who got bullied by some thugs the other day and we happened to bump into her.]

[You’re blind.]

Shen Qi touched his nose, discontentedly informing him.

[Even if I was nearsighted with a thousand-degree prescription, I’d still be certain it’s her. Pei Ya even personally came out to greet her, smiling like some creepy old man—it’s clear he’s up to no good. I don’t know if she was tricked or what. Don’t believe me? Come see for yourself.]

Of course, he did not think that Li Hanzhou would brave the scorching sun to catch a cheater…

Wait… Shen Qi furrowed his brows confusedly—why did he use the term “catch a cheater”?

[Wait, I’m coming.]

Li Hanzhou responded quickly and even agreed.

[???]

Shen Qi doubted the person on the other side was Li Hanzhou, wondering why he truly wanted to come over.

Li Hanzhou put down his phone, handed the pool cue to his bodyguard, and calmly smoothed out the sleeve of his shirt, covering his well-defined arm muscles.

“Boss Li, not playing anymore?”

Someone asked.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curled into a faint, ambiguous smile, “Got something to do.”

“What’s happened?”

Li Hanzhou calmly spoke, “Going to instill some socialist core values in the kid.”

Friends: ???

What?

“Achoo!”

Pei Ya rubbed his nose, “Could I be catching a cold?”

Qiao Yun sipped her icy Coke, a face usually void of emotion now lit up with a trace of joy.

She squinted her eyes slightly and said lightly, “Sneezing doesn’t necessarily mean sickness. Sometimes it’s environmental factors, or inhaling irritants like gases, dust, smoke, animal dander, or feathers, or even changes in temperature that can cause it.”

Pei Ya’s head buzzed; he really didn’t want to be abruptly lectured, and he suggested with a serious face.

“Boss, can we start?”

“Oh.”

Qiao Yun put down her Coke bottle, her eyes still showing slight reluctance as she shifted her gaze and commanded Pei Ya.

“Peel the skin.”

Pei Ya’s eyes twitched, feeling the term was somewhat odd.

He quickly stripped off the synthetic skin, revealing a pair of masterfully made mechanical hands.

Qiao Yun turned on the computer, took out several connecting cables, and carefully inserted each one. Then, her fingers swiftly operated on the computer.

Pei Ya, trying to make small talk, said, “School’s starting soon, right?”

“Hmm,” Qiao Yun responded faintly.

“I instructed the board to rebuild the laboratory building a few days ago. It’s absolutely comfortable and reassuring, just enjoy the life of an ordinary person.”

Pei Ya subtly fished for compliments, but the next second, an electric current spread from his arm throughout his body.

He howled —

“Boss! Boss! Please, go easy.”

Qiao Yun quietly scolded, “Don’t interfere with my campus life; I want to be a normal student.”

“Ow ow, got it,” Pei Ya lovingly touched his own arm.

You’ve suffered.

“How’s it been at the Lu Family lately?”

Without looking up, Qiao Yun replied, “Mom and dad are nice, older brother is too dumb, Lu Ting a clown.”

Pei Ya choked for a moment, perfect, very much in Professor Qiao’s style of answering.

“Is your step-sister still courting death?”

“Don’t care,” Qiao Yun spoke indifferently, “If she wants to run away from home, she deserves to be taught a lesson.”

Pei Ya’s expression was odd—honestly, I suspect you’re deliberately provoking her.
