Chapter 49: Chapter 49 I’m too poor!

Pei Yao earnestly suggested, “Why not drive her away? I’ve looked into her background, it’s quite interesting. Do you want to see it?”

Qiao Yun lifted her small palm-sized face, blinked her curly eyelashes, and after a moment, shook her head: “There’s no need.”

She didn’t quite understand familial affection, but she knew that the Lu Family cared deeply about family harmony, and if she really did anything, it would upset them.

Qiao Yun added, “I have a private jet, she doesn’t. I’m the wealthiest, she’s not. I own thousands of properties, she doesn’t. I have the rights to dozens of mountains, she doesn’t. I have countless patents, she doesn’t…”

Pei Yao’s expression blanked for a while, then he interrupted her, “Okay, I get it. If I listen any more, I’ll start hating the rich.”

Qiao Yun spoke coldly, yet very seriously, “What I have, she doesn’t. What she has, I also have, so there’s no need.”

Moreover, even up to now, she didn’t have much affection for the Lu Family; she was simply staying there in accordance with her grandfather’s wishes.

It was like a mission, and she was just completing this mission.

Pei Yao: “…”

He spoke earnestly, “Remember, never tell others how rich you are. I’m afraid you’ll be drowned in their spit.”

After thinking for a moment, Qiao Yun nodded vigorously: “Mhm.”

She agreed with Pei Yao’s words; normal people couldn’t possibly flaunt their wealth like that.

Pei Yao silently counted his own assets.

Shit!

I actually only have tens of billions in net worth. I’m too poor!

Fifteen minutes later, Qiao Yun unplugged the connecting cable and turned her clear black and white eyes to look at Pei Yao’s hands, pointing at the scratched finger.

“Why are there scratches?”

Pei Yao looked away guiltily, moving his lips, “I recently watched a Spider-Man movie, and I wanted to try if these hands could climb rocks bare-handed.”

Qiao Yun looked at him helplessly, with the kind of gaze one reserves for a troublesome child, “Safety rules, one…”

“A thousand times, right, I know.” Pei Yao hurriedly interrupted her, fearing she’d say ten thousand times.

Sometimes Professor Qiao was just too serious. It’s just climbing a cliff, after all, and in the end, he made it up.

Mechanical hand, so powerful!

Qiao Yun was quite satisfied with Pei Yao’s initiative, and she began packing her things.

“I’m leaving now.”

Pei Yao tried to keep her: “So soon? Stay a while longer. It’s been a long time since I tasted your cooking, and I’ve bought all the ingredients for you.”

He had tasted countless delicacies, but what he missed the most was Qiao Yun’s cooking, which was like a mother’s taste.

Of course, he wouldn’t dare let Qiao Yun know he thought of her like a mother.

“Another time,” Qiao Yun looked down, slowly packing her things.

Pei Yao took the initiative to walk her out, both of them heading outside.

As if she thought of something, Qiao Yun looked up, revealing a pair of pitch-black eyes, and asked Pei Yao nonchalantly.

“The trouble with Lu Xue’s family business, was that you?”

Pei Yao was stunned for quite a while, and it took him considerable effort to remember who Qiao Yun was talking about—it was that flea who made fun of Qiao Yun for wearing knock-off clothes.

Recalling the various ways they belittled and looked down on Qiao Yun, Pei Yao still felt irked.

Foolish humans, do you know how precious Professor Qiao is?

“It wasn’t me.” Pei Yao waved his hand, reluctantly admitting, “I did want to help you get revenge, but someone beat me to it.”

“Who?” asked Qiao Yun.

Pei Yao really didn’t want Qiao Yun to know about it, which was why he had never mentioned it, but now that she had brought it up, he had to tell her.

“Li Hanzhou.”
