Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Pei Yao Intentionally Gets Close

Editor: Inschain

Qiao Yun’s information was quite normal. After she was lost, she was adopted by her grandfather and lived in the old district of Shangjing City with him until her grandfather fell seriously ill a year ago and returned to their hometown for treatment.

It was only half a year ago that the Lu Family received the news and found Qiao Yun in the countryside.

This was a complete set of information without any noticeable doubts.

Li Hanzhou turned off his mobile phone, it seemed he was overthinking.

Qiao Yun was pretty and well-behaved, it was not impossible that Pei Ya had intentionally approached her.

The child was always eager to make friends, it was inevitable that she might be deceived.

Li Hanzhou felt a bit let down, not knowing what he had been expecting earlier.

…

When Qiao Yun returned, it was just noon, and Su Mian was cooking in the kitchen with a maid helping her.

Lu Ting sat on the sofa, accompanying Mr. Lu as he watched the lunchtime news.

“Qiaoqiao, back so soon? Didn’t you have a good time with your friends?”

Mr. Lu thought she wouldn’t be back until the evening since it was rare for Qiao Yun to have friends visiting Shangjing City.

Qiao Yun sat on the sofa, her expression pale and her voice soft, “He had something to do.”

Mr. Lu didn’t ask further, calculating in his mind that Qiao Yun had been back for almost a month, and they had not really taken her out, primarily because each attempt to take Qiao Yun out had been refused.

Qiao Yun asked him, “How has the company been doing recently? Have you encountered any problems?”

Looking into Qiao Yun’s clear, beautiful eyes, Mr. Lu felt reassured, Qiaoqiao was showing concern for him for the first time.

“No major problems, the company is currently bidding on a project with another company, and with our company’s capabilities, we are almost guaranteed to win.”

Mr. Lu would not usually talk about the company with his children, but seeing that Qiao Yun was interested led him to speak up.

Qiao Yun, with a keen eye, noticed Mr. Lu’s unconsciously furrowed brow as he spoke and after thinking for a moment said, “Is this project very important?”

Mr. Lu paused, then smiled, “You could say that.”

This was the company’s biggest project of the year, and securing a partnership could be very beneficial for the company’s development.

The Lu family’s current development was still in Shangjing City, perhaps with this project, they could pave a way to expand nationwide.

But the capabilities of the other company could not be underestimated, and he had learned that this project was specifically targeted by the other company.

However, as long as the deal had not been finalized, they still had a chance.

These things he naturally wouldn’t share with his family.

Qiao Yun merely asked him, “Which company?”

Answering Qiao Yun’s serious question naturally, Mr. Lu responded, “Tenghui Real Estate, quite famous and a company that has developed in recent years.”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Hmm, yes, quite famous.”

Lu Ting, who had been listening on the side, quickly thought of something and said with a smile, “Dad, one of my classmates’ fathers is a project manager at Tenghui Real Estate, let me ask him for help.”

Mr. Lu heard this and smiled, shaking his head, thinking a child couldn’t know much about these deals, but he did not discourage Lu Ting’s enthusiasm.

This child had always been kind-hearted and considerate for the family, so even if he stopped her now, Lu Ting would still likely take action.

Qiao Yun looked at Mr. Lu’s serious face, her eyes thoughtful as they dropped.

After lunch, Qiao Yun went back to her room, and not long after, the phone call from Pei Ya came through.

“The project you wanted me to compile, I’ve sent it to your email.”

Without wasting words, Qiao Yun asked him directly, “Is Tenghui Real Estate a subsidiary of Shengqiao?”

Pei Ya, “…”

Is this a company too insignificant to care about?

Sour.

“Yes.”

Pei Ya, with a cunning smile, “Why bring up such a minor company as Tenghui, could it be that you’ve finally realized, and want to help alleviate my burden?”

Qiao Yun swiftly stopped his endless chatter, bluntly directing him, “Tenghui is handling a project, make them choose the Lu Family.”
