Chapter 1054: Chapter 1054: Pei Yao choked up, speechless
Han Wang started to reflect deeply with a heavy expression, wondering what he had done over the years to leave Qiao Yun with the impression of being a ‘murderous maniac.’
Qiao Yun genuinely believed that Han Wang might be capable of beating soone to death.
After all, given Han Wang’s personality of never tolerating even a speck of dust in her eyes, it was entirely possible for her to do sothing extre.
Of course, even if she did end up killing soone, Qiao Yun wouldn’t bla Han Wang—in fact, she’d even help her deal with the body.
You always protect your own child.
Han Wang’s mind was already in turmoil, but with Qiao Yun’s casual interruption, her ssy thoughts were pushed aside.
She spoke earnestly, “Sorry, I went a bit easy on him and didn’t beat him to death.”
Qiao Yun replied nonchalantly, “Hmm, pay attention next ti.”
Pei Ya: “…???”
Wait, hold on—aren’t these words a bit strange?!
What’s with this vibe of a murder case?
Qiao Yun then asked, “Did he co looking for trouble with you?”
Han Wang answered honestly, “Maybe. I don’t even know what he was trying to do.”
He’d inexplicably co to apologize, saying a bunch of laughable things—Han Wang couldn’t make sense of Nolan’s behavior.
Qiao Yun nodded slightly and didn’t pursue the matter further. She trusted Han Wang’s judgnt.
“By the way,” Han Wang told Qiao Yun, “we ran into Qiao Si at the science museum.”
Qiao Yun paused, stunned. “Grandpa Qiao Si?”
Han Wang nodded, recounting truthfully to Qiao Yun that not only did they et Qiao Si, but he also witnessed a rather embarrassing scene.
In the end, she added, “Qiao Si asked to tell you to et him soti when you’re free.”
“Alright.”
For so reason, Qiao Yun felt a little guilty.
She thought that Grandpa Qiao Si might be angry because she hadn’t inford him about her arrival in O Continent.
Not that she intended to ignore him—she was planning to et him a bit later.
When Qiao Si was brought up, Pei Ya imdiately perked up. He gloated, “Qiao Si specifically ntioned that you must bring Li Hanzhou along to the eting. He said he hasn’t t your fiancé yet and is very intrigued.”
“Who’s intrigued by ?”
Li Hanzhou leisurely descended the stairs, naturally seating himself beside Qiao Yun.
Pei Ya chuckled dryly, “Do you know Qiao Si? The famous physicist here in O Continent—his son owns the Qiaosen Group, the most powerful local enterprise.”
Li Hanzhou ignored Pei Ya and rely raised an eyebrow.
Not getting the shocked reaction he wanted from Li Hanzhou, Pei Ya instantly lost interest.
But on second thought, it made sense. Considering Li Hanzhou’s level of concern for Professor Qiao, it was impossible for him to be unaware of the Qiao Family’s background—he’d probably investigated it thoroughly long ago.
Li Hanzhou indeed knew who Qiao Si was, and he also knew that the man was another of Qiao Yun’s grandfathers… and a notoriously temperantal one at that.
In a teasing tone, Li Hanzhou remarked, “Little one, you sure have a big family on your mother’s side.”
Qiao Yun patted his hand with a gentle and soothing expression, almost paternal. “Don’t be afraid. Grandpa Qiao Si is a kind man.”
Li Hanzhou smiled lightly.
He didn’t believe for a second that soone who had the guts to co alone to chaotic O Continent, making a na for themselves and even outclassing the local aristocracy, would be “kind.”
Silent for a mont, Qiao Yun retrieved her phone and sent Qiao Si a ssage.
[Grandpa Qiao Si, thank you for helping Han Wang.]
Even though the so-called help was just a single sentence.
Qiao Yun didn’t expect Qiao Si to reply quickly, but as soon as she sent the ssage, her phone buzzed.
The ssage was from Qiao Si.
[Little One, you ungrateful brat. After all these years, you co to O Continent and don’t even visit . Did that old geezer Qiao Se forbid you? Afraid I’d take you away from him?]
Qiao Yun’s lips twitched involuntarily. Before she could reply, another ssage from Qiao Si arrived.
[Little One, have you grown taller yet? After all these years, you can’t still be a bean sprout, right? Back then, you weren’t even as tall as my thigh—so small and cute.]
Qiao Yun: “…”
She chose not to reply and decided to ignore him completely.
Li Hanzhou, who had been watching the entire exchange, calmly observed, “Little One?”
Qiao Yun shot a glance at Li Hanzhou.
Li Hanzhou smiled faintly, his lips curving. “It’s quite cute.”
Qiao Yun pressed her lips together and huffed lightly, turning her gaze away.
Watching the small interaction between the two, Han Wang then threw a grim glance at Pei Ya and seed lost in thought. Finally, she furrowed her brows and spoke up, “Teacher, I’ll head back to my room now.”
Qiao Yun gave a brief acknowledgnt.
Han Wang stood up from the sofa and went upstairs without looking back.
Pei Ya stared at her retreating figure, his face filled with curious confusion.
He lowered his voice and asked Qiao Yun, “Boss, don’t you think Little Wangwang’s attitude towards seems… off?”
Qiao Yun replied straightforwardly, “No, it’s the sa as before—she finds you annoying.”
Pei Ya’s throat tightened, leaving him speechless.
