Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 264: Chapter 264: The Gift

Qiao Yun upgraded the functionalities of Gun Gun.

She enhanced the automatic defense system, added surveillance recording and positioning, and included voice operation features.

Although the little robot that Lu Shiran had given her was nothing more than a toy in her eyes, it was very precious to Lu Shiran.

That’s why Qiao Yun chose to give her own made Gun Gun as a gift, because it was something made over a decade ago, it wouldn’t attract too much attention even if she brought it out.

During this time, Su Mian concentrated solely on promoting the Yan Yang Cream, thus temporarily putting the unpleasant matters of the old house out of her mind.

Still, she couldn’t help but wonder if Qiao Yun would suddenly remember something.

...

The mid-term exams were approaching fast.

Lu Ting, despite having her own concerns, didn’t have the luxury to bother about Qiao Yun, for her only goal now was to score better than Qiao Yun.

After all, she had made a bet with her grandfather and didn’t want to lose face.

She intended to coax some information out of Ya Man after the exams were over.

The possibility that her biological father might have been involved in Qiao Yun’s disappearance loomed over her like a ticking time bomb, never knowing when it might explode.

Before that happened, she had to understand more in order to prepare herself.

After Qiao Yun finished modifying Gun Gun, she sent it directly to the old lady, asking her to pass it on to Lu Shiran.

The reason she did this was that Qin Huan disliked Lu Shiran meddling with such things, and if he saw it, he might just throw it away.

The day the old lady received the gift box mailed by Qiao Yun, she called Qiao Yun to tease her.

“Granddaughter, why do you only send gifts to Shiran? Granny also wants a present from you. Ah, it seems when one gets old, no one thinks about you anymore.”

For the first time being teased like this by an elder, Qiao Yun suddenly didn’t know how to respond.

“The son doesn’t come home, and the grandson is busy with his own affairs. Finally, we found our granddaughter back, and she doesn’t care about her granny.”

“No,” Qiao Yun replied softly, “I will send you a gift, don’t be upset.”

The old lady chuckled, saying to her husband beside her, “Look at our granddaughter, she is just too amusing.”

“Alright, you might actually scare Qiaoqiao for real,” the old man replied, finding such antics to tease the granddaughter annoying. The very next second, he added, “Granddaughter, don’t you have a gift for grandpa?”

The old lady rolled her eyes at him with disdain. You’re just as jealous that Shiran got a gift.

Qiao Yun assured the two elders, “Both of you will get one.”

Finally satisfied, the elders stopped teasing Qiao Yun and let her focus on her studies. As for the gifts, they joked that she shouldn’t take their words seriously.

However, once Qiao Yun made a promise, she would definitely keep it. The only question was… what to give?

The old lady knew Qin Huan’s temperament. If he saw the doll Qiao Yun sent to Lu Shiran?

It’s a doll, right? Round and bulging, its appearance doesn’t even reveal what it is.

It looked cheap, and Qin Huan would surely think that Qiao Yun was deliberately trying to embarrass them.

The old lady didn’t want Qin Huan to talk behind Qiao Yun’s back because of this.@@novelbin@@

So, the old lady stuffed the gift into Lu Shiran’s backpack, planning to give him a surprise.

“I thought Qiaoqiao wouldn’t like Shiran.” The old lady was still pleased that the younger generation got along well.

Reading the newspaper without lifting his head, the old man said, “Shiran is tough on the outside but soft on the inside. The fact that he’s given Qiaoqiao that trinket shows he acknowledges this cousin of his.”

“I just hope they continue to get along well and aren’t influenced by the older generation.” The old lady was deeply worried about the discord between Su Mian and Qin Huan.

She didn’t believe Su Mian’s suspicions about Qin Huan.

Qin Huan might be somewhat biased by old-fashioned ideas, but he wasn’t heartless to such an extent.

It was evident from Qin Huan’s frequent help towards Sister Lin that her heart was good.

She never interferes in the conflicts between her daughters-in-law, siding with anyone would be wrong, and it might even distress her two sons.

The old lady shook her head inwardly: Forget it, let the younger ones solve their own problems.
