Chapter 456: Chapter 456: I Don’t Like This Person
“Why did the other party help us without revealing their identity?” Su Mian had been troubled by this question for a long time.
Lu Jingzhi was in a heavy mood.
He had been waiting.
Waiting for his sister to come clean on her own, but that moment never came.
Their relationship was already lacking more than a decade of kinship, and trying to rebuild it was a difficult endeavor.
In between, he had also disappointed his sister.
Lu Jingzhi felt anxious, afraid that he would never be able to gain his sister’s trust or establish a familial bond with her.
He was afraid that one day she would become disappointed with them and leave once more.
Qiao Yun was unaware of Lu Jingzhi’s thoughts.
She believed that all would be revealed once she met with the Qiao family.
She had to admit, she was concerned that the parents of the Lu Family, upon learning of her complex background, would no longer treat her as carefree as they did now.
That’s why she had never broached the subject herself.
Because those who knew of her identity were all afraid of her.
Just like Lu Jingzhi.
Perhaps he hadn’t even realized that he had been avoiding Qiao Yun lately, unsure of how to interact with her.
Qiao Yun had experienced being treated as an equal and did not wish to be treated specially anymore.
She didn’t want the atmosphere, which was originally joyful and relaxed, to become cautious and stern whenever she was present.
Lu Zhanxing wheeled himself in, looked at Lu Jingzhi, and couldn’t help but laugh, “Big brother, I’ve found that you and our cousin Qingyan are quite alike.”
Lu Jingzhi hadn’t caught on yet, so he added, “Both blind as bats.”
Lu Jingzhi: “…”
He hadn’t done anything, had he?
What was this madness with his brother?
Considering that Lu Zhanxing was a patient, he decided to let it go!
…
Meanwhile, in the car.
Ye Miaoshan complained irritably, “Big sister is really too inconsiderate, not helping is one thing, but she even let my brother-in-law mock me.”
Su Fan glanced at her, “It was, after all, our fault for the rudeness, big sister is under no obligation to help us.”
“There was no choice, who told Qingyan he couldn’t handle even this small matter? Really useless,” Ye Miaoshan glared at the silent Su Qingyan.
Su Qingyan leaned his head against the window, staring out with a somber gaze, and didn’t even twitch an eyelid at Ye Miaoshan’s complaint.
Accustomed to being complained about, he felt nothing anymore.
He hadn’t told his own mother about Qiao Xun, who had once helped the Lu Family.
“Initially, when I wanted Qingqing to come to Shangjing City for school, you were not keen on the idea. Otherwise, we might have been the ones to get acquainted with the Li Family,” Ye Miaoshan said with a hint of envy, “My precious daughter is no less than your niece.”
“Qiaoqiao was able to get to know people from the Li Family because of her own merits. Even if Qingqing had come to school in Shangjing City, she might not have had such luck. What are you thinking?”
Su Fan thought she was being too talkative.
“You really look down on our daughter that much?”
In Ye Miaoshan’s eyes, her daughter was perfect in every way, a thousand times better than Qiao Yun.
Su Fan replied, “They’re both good, alright?”
Ye Miaoshan huffed, “You’re really hopeless.”
“Yes, yes, I’m hopeless,” Su Fan responded noncommittally.
Ye Miaoshan changed the subject, saying, “We haven’t seen big sister in almost a year. Let’s stay for a few more days this time. Maybe we can find a way to meet with Doctor Qiao.”
“That’s fine.”
Su Fan was thinking that his niece, who had been found after so much difficulty, needed more than just a brief visit from her uncle.
It would seem as if the Su Family didn’t value their niece enough, and if that caused the Lu Family to have a negative opinion of Su Mian, he would be unhappy.
Ye Miaoshan continued, “It would be great if we could connect with the Li Family, but I don’t know if big sister would be willing.”
Su Fan was unhappy, “Why are you always thinking about the Li Family? Isn’t the Zhou Family trouble enough?”
“Having one more friend means having another path,” Ye Miaoshan analyzed, “If business with the Zhou Family doesn’t work out, don’t we still have the Li Family?”
Su Fan fell silent.
Building a connection with the Li Family would naturally be great, but it was far from certain that they would look favorably upon them.
Ye Miaoshan didn’t care about Su Fan’s thoughts; she planned to stay in Shangjing City a few more days.
This time she had come to Shangjing City, she received many invitations to banquets.
She intended to network extensively, cultivating relationships among the elites.
Perhaps she might even encounter Mrs. Li. With the Lu Family’s connection, how could she not end up meeting Mrs. Li?
Ye Miaoshan looked at Su Qingyan and advised him, “As her cousin, you should also keep in touch with your cousin more, and not always be buried in your studies. If relatives don’t interact, their affection for each other wanes over time.”
Su Qingyan was somewhat distracted, responding absentmindedly with a hum.
He didn’t refuse, but he didn’t agree either.

He disliked using familial ties to morally blackmail others into helping.
…
Back at Qing University.
Su Qingyan thought about what Lu Zhanxing had said. After pondering for a moment, he found a junior who was present that evening and asked him about what had happened that night.
At first, the junior didn’t want to tell the truth.
But under Su Qingyan’s intimidating gaze, he finally spoke up, “It was him who started the name-calling. That’s why those people came after him.”
“Why did he start calling names?” Su Qingyan asked with a grim face.
The junior told the truth, “It’s about the Star Cup incident last time, where he lost to them and accused them of cheating. It was later proven to be a false accusation, and the principal warned them. He probably held a grudge.”
Su Qingyan immediately understood.
His cousin was not in the wrong; it was self-defense, as the other person had provoked them first.
“Senior, there’s a gathering tonight, do you want to join?” the junior asked.
“No time,” Su Qingyan refused and then, as if thinking of something, he asked, “Will that person be there?”
The junior nodded, “Yeah, he’s quite popular.”
Su Qingyan said indifferently, “From now on, if he’s there, I won’t participate in any event.”
The junior: “Ah?”
Su Qingyan said with a smile, “I don’t like this person.”
The junior looked surprised.
For someone to be disliked by Senior Su, they must be truly annoying.
Su Qingyan was the heartthrob of Qing University, admired by many, although he himself was unaware.
With these words from him, the other person would become a target of ostracism.
Because if Su Qingyan wasn’t there due to that person, everyone naturally would side with Su Qingyan over him.
Su Qingyan had no affection for Qiao Yun, but he would not stand by and let others bully her.
After all, she was a cousin with whom he shared blood ties.
…
Later, Lu Zhanxing came to Qiao Yun’s room and, without saying a word, just sat there with a stern face.
His expression said, ‘Brother is feeling very bad right now, aren’t you going to ask me what’s wrong?’
Qiao Yun blinked and took the hint to ask proactively, “What’s wrong with you?”
Lu Zhanxing put on a parental air, “Little sister, confess and you will be treated leniently; resistance will mean harsh consequences.”
Qiao Yun: ???
She looked at him with an innocent expression, her face a picture of confusion.
Lu Zhanxing met Qiao Yun’s bright, sparkling eyes, and his heart softened, but he quickly restored his stern expression, “Brother is very upset.”
Qiao Yun asked, concerned, “Are you feeling unwell? Go to the hospital, get a check-up.”
Lu Zhanxing sighed, “It’s not a physical pain, but a psychological one; sister doesn’t trust me.”
“Not true,” Qiao Yun denied.
