Chapter 417 -417 Professor Qiao is at Your House
Qiao Yun was a bit surprised to see her granduncle, Lu Xian.
Dressed in a suit with gold-rimmed glasses, he looked scholarly and refined.
She wasn’t sure if Lu Xian was there to see her, so she didn’t approach him.
However, upon seeing Qiao Yun, Lu Xian walked straight over, a gentle smile on his face as he said, “Qiaoqiao, how about your granduncle takes you to meet someone?”
“Okay,” Qiao Yun obediently agreed, without asking where Lu Xian was planning to take her.
Lu Xian found Qiao Yun’s cuteness irresistible, and couldn’t help but feel it was a pity he didn’t have a daughter. If Shiran had been a girl, that would have been great.
He often envied his brother for having a daughter.
Qiao Yun said goodbye to Li Miao and Xia Ling, then got into Lu Xian’s car.
With a driver at the wheel, Lu Xian sat in the back with Qiao Yun and said, “I’ve already talked to your parents. Don’t worry, they won’t be looking for you.”
“Mhm,” nodded Qiao Yun, her face clean and indifferent.
This was the first time Lu Xian was spending time alone with Qiao Yun, and he couldn’t explain why he felt a sense of pressure.
Er…
Perhaps it was just his imagination.
He hadn’t told Qiao Yun who they were going to meet, mainly because he feared that she might get nervous seeing the person.
Qiao Yun followed him without question because she trusted that Lu Xian would not harm her.
Soon, the car arrived at an upscale restaurant.
Not knowing Qiao Yun’s preferences, Lu Xian had specifically chosen a buffet-style restaurant.
“You can pick whatever you like. I don’t know what your favorite foods are,” Lu Xian suggested to Qiao Yun.
Without feeling restrained, Qiao Yun, feeling a bit hungry, approached the food. But before she did, she asked Lu Xian, “What would you like to eat?”
“I’m good with anything,” Lu Xian felt a soft warmth in his heart. Indeed, a daughter’s thoughtfulness was unmatched. He once again regretted that Lu Shiran wasn’t a daughter.
Not long after Qiao Yun left, a man in his forties entered. Seeing Lu Xian, he smiled and said, “You’re here pretty early.”
Lu Xian quickly stood up to shake hands with the man, “I’ve just arrived myself, please, have a seat.”
“It’s rare for you to invite me to a meal. We haven’t gotten together in a long time,” the man joked with Lu Xian as he sat down.
The man was one of the directors of Shengyang High School, and someone Lu Xian had specifically arranged to meet for Qiao Yun’s sake.
Feeling guilty about the incident with Qin Huan, Lu Xian wanted to do something to compensate Qiao Yun, and it so happened he knew one of the directors at Shengyang.
He thought it would be good for Qiao Yun to meet the director so that if she ever needed anything in school, the person could look after her a bit out of consideration for him.
Before Qiao Yun returned, Lu Xian chatted with him: “I heard your teacher was recently in Shangjing City? I would really like to meet him if there’s a chance.”
The director grimaced, “You’re not the only one who wants to meet him; so do I. But Professor Qiao isn’t so easy to see.”
He knew that Professor Qiao was living the life of an ordinary person in Shengyang, and without his summons, who would dare to meet him?
Moreover, he was only guided by Professor Qiao for a few days and hardly qualified to be called his student.
“I wonder if Professor Qiao is still taking students. My foolish son is interested in scientific research; it would be wonderful if he could study under Professor Qiao,” Lu Xian said with a wry smile.
The director replied, “I doubt there’s any hope for that; Professor Qiao hasn’t been teaching anyone for a long time now.”
After all, he had been busy experiencing everyday life recently.
“Is that so,” Lu Xian’s eyes showed disappointment.
“What about your niece? Why haven’t I seen her yet?”
No sooner had the director finished his sentence than Qiao Yun pushed open the door to the private room and came in, carrying food. There were seafood, meats, and desserts—a balanced selection.
When she saw the director, Qiao Yun knew immediately whom Lu Xian had brought her to meet.
Wasn’t this Cheng Xue, a director of Shengyang?
She nodded towards the director as a way of greeting.
The several directors of Shengyang were hereditary positions, and their families had put in significant effort when her grandfather established the school.
Although they were directors, their authority was not as significant as Qiao Yun’s.
Cheng Xue’s mouth gaped open in shock, and after a moment, he suddenly stood up, giving Lu Xian quite the scare.
“You you you, sir sir… I I…” Cheng Xue was too excited to speak. He fiercely pinched his own fingers, his eyes bulging as large as bronze bells.
Was he dreaming?
He must be dreaming, right?
Otherwise, why would Professor Qiao be standing in front of him with food in hand?
Such a down-to-earth Professor Qiao couldn’t possibly be Professor Qiao!
Before Cheng Xue had a chance to recover his wits, Lu Xian introduced her, “Let me introduce you, Qiao Yun, my dear niece.”
“What?” Cheng Xue’s face was a picture of shock.
Was Lu Xian talking nonsense?
He said Professor Qiao is his niece??
How could that be!
“You’re joking with me, right?” Cheng Xue asked Lu Xian in disbelief.
“He really is my great-uncle,” Qiao Yun replied indifferently.
“I must be hallucinating.” Cheng Xue was utterly baffled.
Lu Xian was a bit puzzled by his friend’s reaction, as though he had seen a ghost.
Although he found it strange, he still introduced her to Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, this gentleman is the school director of Shengyang High School, you can call him Uncle Cheng.”
“Uncle Cheng,” Qiao Yun greeted Cheng Xue obediently.
Cheng Xue: !!!!! Professor Qiao called me uncle???
He felt that at this moment, he had reached the pinnacle of his life.
Cheng Xue’s heart was filled with excitement, and he firmly grasped Lu Xian’s hand, “Thank you, thank you so much.”
Lu Xian: “…??”
Cheng Xue had now also come to his senses, realizing that the Lu family member Professor Qiao had found was none other than his good friend’s Lu Family.
He looked at his friend, his eyes inevitably filled with envy and jealousy.
Are you dumb? Professor Qiao is right in your house, your son’s cousin, why are you looking for a tutor for your son!
The perfect tutor is right in front of you.
Why couldn’t Professor Qiao be the daughter his family lost…
Wait a second, his family doesn’t have a daughter.
Still so envious!
Qiao Yun placed the food in front of Lu Xian and said softly, “I didn’t know what you liked, so I brought a bit of everything.”
“This is exactly what I like, thank you for the trouble, Qiaoqiao,” Lu Xian felt delightfully happy.
Qiao Yun said, “It’s no trouble.”
Cheng Xue was envious again, his gaze fiercely fixated on the food on Lu Xian’s plate.

Lu Xian wanted to pretend he didn’t care, but his friend’s gaze was too obvious.
“Is there a problem?” Lu Xian couldn’t help but ask.
Cheng Xue shook his head, “No problem, just thinking that yours looks really delicious.”
Lu Xian smiled awkwardly, “Really, well then, have some of mine.”
He was just being polite, but to his surprise his friend actually swallowed hard, “That doesn’t seem right.”
Saying this, his hand eagerly moved as if to reach out.
Lu Xian: “…” Are you possessed by a ghost?
He simply couldn’t understand what his friend was up to; this attitude made him feel rather awkward.
Qiao Yun glanced at Cheng Xue and said flatly, “Eat.”
“Okay.”
Cheng Xue immediately withdrew his eagerly moving hand, and upon seeing Lu Xian’s odd look, he hastily added,
“The thing is, Qiao Yun is an outstanding student at our school, always ranking first in exams, a talent we focus on cultivating. Seeing her in person is far better than hearing about her. Meeting you today is truly the greatest honor of my life. Would you mind taking a photo together?”
