Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 309 - : You Really Don’t Know?

Chapter 309: Chapter 309: You Really Don’t Know?

Qin Huan’s expression was gloomy.

This position was one she had obtained through much effort and risk, almost costing Qiao Yun her life as she vied for it on behalf of Lu Xian.

Why should Lu Xian just give it away!

“Right, about the cooperation with He Group, I think we should take it slow.”

Lu Rui spoke seriously, “This cooperation is a bit suspicious, they are too eager, and I found out there are disagreements within He Group; if it causes a problem, we will certainly suffer huge losses.”

“Okay, I’ll be careful.” Lu Xian also became serious.

...

His business acumen was mediocre at best; without the elder Master Lu’s support, he wouldn’t have been able to maintain his position up to now.

Since Lu Rui spoke this way, they certainly couldn’t cooperate further.

He trusted Lu Rui.

Qin Huan’s fingertips turned white.

Just as she had suspected, Lu Rui didn’t want Lu Xian to succeed in this project, probably fearing that Lu Xian would surpass him in the elder’s eyes.

Qin Huan thought back to fifteen years ago, knowing the elder master planned to give the position to Lu Rui, she felt the same way; was history about to repeat itself?

Now that Qiao Yun had returned, had Lu Rui finally become impatient?

She shouldn’t have been lenient toward Qiao Yun initially!

Qin Huan was in a bad mood as she returned to her room, where Sister Lin even asked her for money.

“I just gave you two hundred thousand shortly ago, what did you say then? You said he had reformed and wanted to do business properly; how long has it been?”

Sister Lin pleaded desperately, “Madam, I beg you, only you can save my son now; he did it to earn more money for investing in business!”

“Him? Don’t make me laugh; a useless man who only knows how to depend on his parents, what good can he do? And you, you’re no use at all! Your worthless son, spoiled by you like that, will end up in prison sooner or later.”

In the past, considering that Sister Lin knew her secret, Qin Huan wouldn’t have been so harsh to her.

But today, she was in a bad mood, and Sister Lin had to face the brunt of it.

Sister Lin’s face turned pale, feeling distressed and resentful towards Qin Huan’s mocking demeanor.

She continued to plead with Qin Huan, “Madam, just three million is enough, it’s not a lot for you; they said if he doesn’t repay the money, they will cut off his hands, how can he live without hands.”

“What! Three million, do you think I’m running a charity? I’m telling you no way, bother me again, and I’ll make you repay all the money you’ve borrowed before.”

Sister Lin’s shoulders shuddered, Qin Huan’s fury was indeed terrifying.

She had no choice but to leave.

Looking at the message on her phone that said, ‘if you don’t pay, get ready to receive a corpse.’

Sister Lin covered her face, crying, both shocked and scared.

Qin Huan sat on the bed, furious, her chest heaving.

She’s no philanthropist, Sister Lin’s repeated overstepping had made her lose her patience.

As long as this secret isn’t exposed, Sister Lin will always have something on her, but what if she becomes desperate?

No.

This person cannot be kept.

…

In the study, after Lu Rui had made things clear, he was about to leave.

But Lu Xian stopped him, “Right, the painting Qiaoqiao gifted to dad, where exactly did you buy it? I want to get one for a friend.”

Lu Rui disapprovingly said, “Isn’t our family rich enough; do you need to give out fake items as gifts?”

Lu Xian was startled for a moment and then chuckled, “What, didn’t dad tell you? The painting Qiaoqiao gifted is an authentic piece by Qiao An.”

Lu Rui suddenly looked up, his expression astonished, “What, it’s real?”

Lu Xian looked even more shocked, “You really didn’t know? It was personally authenticated by Master Qi as a genuine piece.”

Lu Rui took a deep breath.

His first reaction was, good grief, why would dad say that, he even tried to deceive him about the painting last time.

His second thought, it seems dad had reasons to suspect Qiao Yun of being a fake heiress; how could Qiaoqiao get such an expensive authentic piece without the right connections?

His third thought… his head spun a bit.

The painting he held was an authentic masterpiece by Master Qiao!

How… how could it be?!

“I need to leave now!”

“Why the rush?”

“Wouldn’t you be? I must hurry back and properly secure the painting!” Lu Rui was frantic.

Lu Xian: “…”

…

Lu Rui dashed home and carefully removed the painting from above the bedside, studying it meticulously.

Previously assuming that Qiao Yun came from the countryside and couldn’t have acquired such a valuable painting, it was natural to think it was fake.

Now knowing it was real, the more he looked, the more excited he became.

“Old Lu, what are you doing?”

Su Mian was woken by Lu Rui’s actions, rubbing her eyes and yawning as she came downstairs, seeing Lu Rui constantly looking at the painting Qiao Yun had given.

She complained, “It’s eleven at night, and you’re making such a commotion just to admire a painting? Are you alright?”

“I am not.”

Lu Rui wore a distracted look, as if in shock, questioning who he was and where he was.

Why hadn’t he realized sooner that the painting was genuine?

“What’s really going on with you?” Seeing his pale face, Su Mian became worried as well.

“Do you know what this painting is?” Instead of answering Su Mian’s question, Lu Rui pointed at the painting seriously.

Su Mian: ?

“Uh… isn’t it the counterfeit Qiaoqiao gifted? You said it yourself.”

Lu Rui was deeply remorseful, had an epiphany, “This isn’t a counterfeit, it’s an original!”

Su Mian paused for a moment, then walked over and started pulling Lu Rui upstairs.

“Come sleep with me, I think you’re sleepwalking.”

Lu Rui: “…”
