Moreover, her daughter was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and her academic performance was also top-notch.

Her personality was very gentle, and countless ladies had set their eyes on her daughter to be their daughter-in-law.

Compared to that niece from the countryside, wasn’t her daughter a far better match?

Originally, Ye Miaoshan didn’t even dare to entertain such a thought.

However, seeing that even Lady Li took a liking to Qiao Yun had stirred something in her heart.

If she could get her daughter in front of Lady Li, wouldn’t there be a chance?

She somewhat regretted not bringing her daughter to Shangjing City this time.

What if they hit it off?

Lady Li did not stay for long.

The recent occasional hallucinations and headaches that Li Hanzhou experienced had left Lady Li feeling somewhat uneasy.

So her main reason for visiting was to inquire about Mr. Q with Qiao Yun.

After all, it was Mr. Q many years ago…

It seems that I can only ask next time.

After the visitors left, Ye Miaoshan finally asked Su Mian, “Big sister, why didn’t you tell us you knew Lady Li?”

Just now, Su Mian hadn’t introduced them to Lady Li, and she didn’t feel it was her place to interrupt, fearing Lady Li might find it offensive.

But even after they had left, Su Mian hadn’t mentioned who they were, which made Ye Miaoshan quite uncomfortable.

She couldn’t help but say sarcastically, “You’re really lucky to know Lady Li; if you have any trouble in the future, you can ask her for help.”

If the Li Family had their back, who would dare to mess with the Lu Family?

“We’re not close,” said Su Mian in a bland tone. “I was quite surprised she came this time as well.”

“We’re all family here; you don’t have to keep it from me,” Ye Miaoshan didn’t believe Su Mian’s words, especially since Lady Li had personally paid a visit.

“Right, you could ask Lady Li to help us out.”

Upon hearing this, Su Fan also entertained the thought; with the Li Family’s immense influence, perhaps they could help them meet Qiao Xun.

He looked at Su Mian, tentatively asking, “Big sister, what do you think about this…”

Without a second thought, Su Mian rejected the idea, “Our relationship with Lady Li is not that close; how could I have the nerve to ask for her help? Have you considered that this action might upset her? She might think we have ulterior motives.”

Su Fan thought this made sense, “Right, right, with such a top-tier family, if you accidentally upset them, they could do anything.”

“She even came to us in person; how can you say your relationship isn’t good?” Ye Miaoshan believed that Su Mian simply didn’t want to help.

When Qiao Yun got lost, their family also helped, and now they wouldn’t even help with this small matter.

This was nothing but ungrateful behavior.

Su Mian also didn’t want to cause any misunderstandings with her family because of this, so she decided to tell them the truth: “We really are not close to the Li Family; it’s Qiaoqiao and the Li Family’s young lady who are friends, and Elder Li treats Qiaoqiao like a little sister. Lady Li also gives us more attention because of Qiaoqiao’s sake.”

Ye Miaoshan was profoundly shocked and blurted out, “Are you joking with me? How could Yuanyuan possibly make friends with the Li Family; do they even look up to her?”

Su Mian’s expression changed, and her face grew stern, “Sister-in-law, what kind of talk is that? Why can’t Qiaoqiao be friends with the Li Family? What’s wrong with my daughter?”

Ye Miaoshan’s words seemed to imply that she was unhappy with Su Mian for not helping.

Yet she hadn’t been that angry.

But Ye Miaoshan looking down on her daughter made her angry.

Su Fan was also dissatisfied, “My niece was so adorable and chubby as a child, everyone who saw her liked her; how can she be looked down upon now?”

“Okay, okay, I spoke wrongly, just asking out of curiosity,” thought Ye Miaoshan, as all that was just a thing of the past.

After all these years of living in the countryside, who knew what she had become now.

“How did Yuanyuan get to know them?”

Not wanting any misunderstandings about Qiao Yun, Su Mian explained, “The two kids go to the same school; naturally, they grew closer.”

Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoshan couldn’t help but regret it.

If she had known, she would have sent her own daughter to Shengyang High School too. Now, the one in good terms with Miss Li might have been her daughter.

Moreover, she believed that Miss Li must sympathize with Qiao Yun’s plight to become friends with her.

“Aren’t the Su Family more influential than the Lu Family? Why don’t you go ask the Li Family for help yourselves?” Lu Rui said with a casual attitude, protectively standing by his wife.

Ye Miaoshan was choked up, and seeing Lu Rui’s smiling face, she didn’t dare to retort.

This brother-in-law of hers had a terrible temper when he was young; anyone who dared to bully Su Mian, whether man or woman, he treated all the same.

It was only as he got older that he began to mellow out.

Ye Miaoshan didn’t dare to truly anger them. After being rebuffed several times, she felt she had lost face and couldn’t stay any longer.

She stood up: “Forget it, we’re leaving.”

Su Qingyan had been wanting to leave for a while now, and upon hearing this, he stood up without another word.

Su Fan also felt that today’s events were too abrupt, and it wasn’t good for him to stay any longer either.

Just at this moment, Qiao Yun and Lu Zhanxing came back.

When Ye Miaoshan saw Qiao Yun, the shock on her face was impossible to hide.

She hadn’t expected Qiao Yun to be so exquisitely beautiful, even more refined and pretty than her own daughter, clearly a lady raised in a wealthy household.

With a cold expression and eyes both dark and bright, she had a strong sense of contrast.

No wonder Mrs. Li liked Qiao Yun so much. If it were not for Qiao Yun being her niece, she probably would have been very willing to have such a beautiful person as her daughter-in-law.

This appearance seemed very easy to control.

Ye Miaoshan felt strangely embarrassed; she had thought Qiao Yun’s temperament would be quite rustic.

When Su Qingyan saw Qiao Yun, a faint look of surprise flashed across his emotionless face, but it quickly disappeared.

He certainly remembered Qiao Yun.

So this arrogant and willful young miss was his own cousin?

Qiao Yun glanced at Su Qingyan and then looked away, her attitude neither cold nor warm, as indifferent as if she were regarding a stranger.

Su Qingyan didn’t mind Qiao Yun’s indifference since they were not yet familiar with each other.

“Qiaoqiao, this is your uncle, that’s your aunt, and this is your eldest cousin.” Su Mian introduced them one by one.

Qiao Yun spoke politely, “Nice to meet you.”

Su Fan smiled broadly, “Uncle came in a hurry this time and didn’t bring you a gift. Can I make it up to you next time?”

“No need for gifts.” Qiao Yun didn’t want to owe anyone favors.

Su Fan was not pleased, of course; he was already thinking about what to bring next time.

Su Qingyan looked at Qiao Yun and suddenly remembered that Qiao Yun knew Qiao Xun; he had seen Qiao Yun visiting Qiao Xun at the Qiaose Research Institute.

The person their family wanted to meet but couldn’t—his cousin knew her?

Lu Zhanxing’s injury must have also been treated by Qiao Xun.

But he couldn’t understand why his aunt had kept it a secret. Did she not want to help them, or was there some hidden reason?

Su Qingyan glanced at Ye Miaoshan, wondering whether to tell his parents that Qiao Yun knew Qiao Xun or not.

…

When it was time to leave, Su Qingyan found Lu Zhanxing and said to him, “When you have time, pay more attention to your cousin’s behavior.”

Though he was a reserved person,

he didn’t want to see his aunt upset over his cousin’s issues again.

But all he could do was remind Lu Zhanxing.
