Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 364: Chapter 364: Revenge on Qin Huan (2)

Su Mian’s words were really harsh, and Qin Huan’s face changed from her barbs.

“I know you have a problem with me, but you can’t wrong me like this. Which eye of yours saw me coveting the family property?”

“If you weren’t coveting it, why are you so agitated? You act as if you’re afraid someone will steal it from you.”

Su Mian was gentle by nature, but as a mother, she was firm. Qin Huan even wanted to kill her daughter — if she could tolerate that, she didn’t deserve to be a mom!

Qin Huan was furious, “I…”

“Enough, stop arguing, what do you look like?”

The old master’s headache worsened from Qin Huan’s noise, and he said impatiently, “Who does the corporation belong to, you or me? Do I need your approval for everything I do?”

“Dad, that’s not what I meant.”

Qin Huan desperately explained, “I’m just heartbroken for Axian; he’s dedicated so much to the corporation over the years without rest, and my second brother suddenly says he wants control, without considering Axian’s feelings at all.”

“I have no objections,” Lu Xian said, looking at Qin Huan in surprise. “What’s with you today?”

In front of him, Qin Huan had always been gentle and considerate, a person who knew her limits. Today’s behavior was so out of character he could hardly recognize her.

Was she such a petty person?

We are all family; who manages it shouldn’t matter.

Qin Huan pursed her lips tightly, staring blankly at Lu Xian.

What’s wrong with her?

She had been living in fear for so long, even willing to have Qiao Yun killed, all for ensuring Lu Xian would inherit the family business.

In the end, she was reprimanded by Lu Xian!

She didn’t understand; she’d done so many bad things for the future of their little family, and Lu Xian could dismiss it all so decisively.

Had he ever cared about her feelings at all?

Lu Rui seemed to think it wasn’t enough yet, and said to Lu Xian, “Big brother, hasn’t Shiran always wanted to pursue a path in scientific research? Do you need me to introduce him to some teachers in that area? It happens I know some people.”

The topic shifted so quickly that Lu Xian paused before answering, “He’s in his senior year; indeed, it’s time to start planning. Please, arrange a meeting when you can.”

Qin Huan couldn’t believe it. Lu Rui even wanted to kill her son’s bright future.

Was he afraid that Shiran would compete with him in the future?

After so many years, Lu Rui finally showed his true, wolfish ambition.

Qin Huan couldn’t help thinking, if she had known, she would have killed Qiao Yun directly! Then Lu Rui wouldn’t be here competing with her for the inheritance!

With a tone laced with mockery, Qin Huan said, “Second brother, Qiaoqiao is still in an uncertain state between life and death, and instead of staying by her in the hospital, you actually came to claim management rights? You… you are really cold-hearted.”

As she spoke, she sighed with disappointment.

Lu Rui and Su Mian looked at Qin Huan with expressionless faces, finding her a bit laughable.

The old lady’s face turned pale, “What did you say? What happened to my dear granddaughter?”

In pain, Qin Huan said, “Mom, please don’t be agitated, listen to me. Zhanxing just called to tell me that Qiaoqiao had a car accident on her way to the old house. The hospital has issued a critical condition notice. Zhanxing was afraid you couldn’t bear the news, so he didn’t want me to tell you.”

She attempted to use this incident to temporarily distract everyone.

The old lady felt dizzy, “How could this be? What sins have we committed? Old man, hurry, we must go to the hospital.”

“Alright, to the hospital first,” the old master agreed, also startled, scolding Lu Rui, “At a time like this, why aren’t you at the hospital with Qiaoqiao! What’s more important, the family property or your daughter?”

Lu Rui looked at them, not knowing whether to feel happy or sad.

The joy was that the elders genuinely cared about Qiaoqiao.

The sorrow was that everything was caused by their eldest daughter-in-law, and he didn’t know if the elders could bear the truth when it came out.

The elders were in a bustle to rush to the hospital when a calm voice suddenly cut through.

“I’m fine.”

Qiao Yun and Lu Zhanxing walked in from the entrance, followed by Lu Jingzhi who had joined them halfway.

Upon seeing the newcomers, Qin Huan’s pupils slowly dilated, her eyes filled with disbelief.

Wasn’t she critically ill? Why was she bouncing around alive and well?

If Qiao Yun was okay, why would Lu Zhanxing lie to her?

Qin Huan felt a bad premonition rising in her heart, shrouded in panic!

She forced herself to calm down.

It’s okay, no one could know what she had done!

“My dear granddaughter, are you really okay?”

The old lady sized up Qiao Yun from head to toe, finally relieved to see she was indeed unharmed.

“Grandma, it was a close call,” Lu Zhanxing affectionately told the old lady. “Sister really had a car accident, but she managed to dodge in time and was fine. You have to stand up for her.”

“Enough with the cutesy talk, tell me what you’re up to,” the old lady cut to the chase.

Not just the old lady felt something, the old master and Lu Xian finally realized as well.

Lu Rui’s family was all acting very strangely today.

“The accident was deliberate.” Qiao Yun locked eyes with Qin Huan before anyone could react, her gaze cold and devoid of warmth, “She hired someone to hit me.”

When she spoke, her voice was as calm as ever, with no fluctuation in emotion, yet it shocked everyone there except for Lu Rui and his immediate family.

Especially Qin Huan.

She felt as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over her, chilling her from head to toe.
