Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 324: Chapter 324: Leave a Video as Evidence
 

Although it’s being said everywhere that the He Family has acquired the development rights to the eastern district, in reality, they have not actually obtained them yet.

However, He Junsheng has been working his connections, and he’s very confident about securing the development rights.

But there’s still some hesitation from the government side, so that’s why he thought of pulling the Lu Family into the partnership.

The Lu Family’s strength is self-evident, and with their cooperation, securing the development rights is almost a certainty.

Yet, at this critical juncture, a problem arose.

He Junsheng asked Ya Man, “We haven’t caused any displeasure to the Lu Family recently, have we?”

As if recalling something, Ya Man hesitated before saying, “Actually, there is one thing. Recently, during the Lu Family’s young master’s birthday, Yanyan seemed to have had an argument with Miss Lu.”

No sooner had she finished speaking than a mocking female voice sounded.

“What does it have to do with me? A cooperation this big, and it could be scrapped because of me? It turns out I’m that valuable.”

He Jianyan, wearing a white dress, stood on the staircase with a sardonic expression on her face.

With a wronged tone, Ya Man said, “I just suddenly remembered, you misunderstood, Yanyan.”

He Jianyan didn’t want to deal with Ya Man and was about to leave the house when she came downstairs.

“What time is it now, where are you going?” He Junsheng frowned, “Don’t spend all day mixing with those shady people.”

“I’m going to the hospital to accompany Grandpa,” He Jianyan glanced at Ya Man and said, “Grandma, isn’t it inappropriate for you to sit so close to my dad?”

Ya Man had married her grandfather as a subsequent wife, so by convention, she indeed should be called ‘Grandma.’

Ya Man’s face flushed with awkwardness.

He Junsheng was too angry to speak.

Ya Man said with a smile to He Junsheng, “Don’t be mad at Yanyan, this child has always disliked me.”

“She’s just purposely trying to anger me.” He Junsheng wasn’t deranged enough to dare lay a hand on his own father’s wife.

Ya Man smiled, “Madam Lu and I have a good relationship, I’ll give her a call later to feel things out.”

“I’d appreciate that.”

Having said that, He Junsheng rose, “I’ve still got work to do, I’ll be leaving first.”

After he left, Ya Man sneered to herself.

She wondered which young girl’s future would be ruined at his hands tonight.

His biological father’s life or death was uncertain as he lay in bed, yet he seemed to have all the leisure in the world.

Ya Man called Qin Huan to subtly inquire about the cooperation.

“Don’t worry, the cooperation will definitely go through, I’ll talk to Lu Xian about it,” Qin Huan reassured with the confidence that since she played a role in arranging this cooperation, she took it very seriously. She intended to produce tangible results for the elders in the Lu family to see, proving that she was no worse than Su Mian.

“If there’s no issue, then why the need to reassess after everything seemed settled? Wasn’t it evaluated before? Has something changed midway?” Ya Man emphasized with greater intensity, “Madam Lu, you should be aware, there are many who want to partner with us. It’s only because of your face that I am even considering…”

She didn’t finish her sentence, but Qin Huan was anxious, “It’s really rather embarrassing to say, but actually, it’s my husband’s younger brother who thinks we need to give this cooperation some more thought.”

Ya Man thought for a moment and smiled, “Isn’t Mr. Lu managing the Lu Group? Why listen to his younger brother’s opinion? Oh, I apologize, I’m just being nosy. The way you put it, I thought there was going to be a shake-up within your group.”

Now that hit a sore spot for Qin Huan.

She had always been vigilant against Lu Rui taking over the family assets, and hearing Ya Man’s words made her mood suddenly less bright.

“Madam Lu, time waits for no one. I can only hold off for a while, but if you keep dragging your feet, we will have to look elsewhere,” Ya Man said.

Qin Huan quickly reassured her, “The cooperation will definitely happen.”

After hanging up the phone, she resented Lu Rui anew. Why must he covet the family assets when he had his own company? In her view, Lu Rui was just too idle, and it seemed necessary to find something for him to do.

Qin Huan walked back from the garden.

Then she saw Sister Lin sneaking back in.

“Where did you go?”

Sister Lin shivered and confessed, “I went to see… the creditor of my son.”

Qin Huan said with disgust, “Your son is really useless. You might as well not have him.”

Sister Lin secretly clenched her teeth. She had felt a bit guilty towards Qin Huan before, but now, that guilt disappeared entirely.

“By the way, I might need to ask Huang Hui to do something in the next few days, so tell him not to cause any trouble when he’s idle,” Qin Huan instructed.

She had few people she could rely on: Sister Lin was one, Huang Hui another, and naturally, they had to be well paid.

Sister Lin lowered her eyes, “Alright, I’ll tell him.”

Qin Huan then ignored her.

Back in her room, she contacted a private investigator with whom she had longstanding cooperation, asking him to look into the affairs of Lu Rui and his colleagues over the years, to see if she could catch them on anything.

…

Lu Ting had been getting quite close to Ya Man recently, probably due to her disappointment with her family and her worries after discovering the truth.

She began to plan for her own future.

No matter what, if any changes occurred in the Lu Family in the future, at least Ya Man would be there to protect her.

What she didn’t know was that every single meeting she had with Ya Man, Qiao Yun knew all about it crystal clear.

She even retained video footage as evidence.

A few days later, Qiao Yun received a call from Li Hanzhou.

She hadn’t woken up yet, her voice soft and muffled, “What’s up?”

Li Hanzhou found her voice soft and sticky to the ear, and couldn’t resist teasing her.

“Hey kid, the sun’s already shining on your butt, aren’t you getting up? Does big brother need to wake you?”

“Beep…”

“…”

Great, the line was cut off.
