Chapter 446: Chapter 446: Cousin from the Su Family
“Mom, one-tenth is just too much, am I that bad?” Lu Zhanxing looked up to the sky, speechless.
Su Mian smiled, “Mom didn’t say one percent, which is good enough.”
Lu Zhanxing choked up without saying anything.
To visit him once, and manage to win over his family??
This man is truly frightening!
…
Lu Zhanxing’s recovery ability was indeed fast, he could go home to recuperate before Christmas.
However, the sutures on his injured leg had not yet been removed, so he needed a wheelchair.
On the day of his discharge, Su Mian’s relatives even called specially to inquire about Lu Zhanxing’s car accident.
The Su Family was also a prominent family locally in Yuncheng. Su Mian’s parents had divorced early, and she had chosen to move to Shangjing City with her mother.
Then, while in elementary school, she met the school bully at the time, Lu Rui, and coincidentally helped him when he got injured in a fight by handing him a handkerchief.
Touched, the thirteen-year-old Lu Rui swore that he would marry Su Mian when he grew up so she could continue to hand him handkerchiefs.
Su Mian did not have much contact with her family as a child but got in touch more frequently as she grew up, especially after she married Lu Rui, and visited even more often.
It was originally the Lu Family’s visit to Yuncheng for the New Year that allowed Qin Huan’s plans to succeed.
Qiao Yun got lost in Yuncheng, and Su Mian, fearing to recall sad events, rarely returned to Yuncheng.
But little did she know that Qiao Yun had always been in Yuncheng.
Only after receiving greetings from the Su Family did Su Mian remember that she hadn’t yet introduced Qiao Yun to them, so she asked Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, how about Mom takes you to Yuncheng this New Year to see your uncles?”
“Okay.” Qiao Yun was not against meeting Su Mian’s family. After thinking it over, she said, “I’ll take you guys home.”
Qiao Yun knew the custom of returning home during the New Year.
So she also wanted to go home to see her grandfather.
Su Mian was pleasantly surprised, “Alright, we’ll all go home together.”
“Back to the village?” Lu Rui asked.
“Yes, I’ll introduce you to my family,” Qiao Yun agreed, considering the Lu Family as her own; naturally, she wanted them to know about her family.
Family members shouldn’t keep secrets from each other.
Previously, Lu Rui had asked the Su Family for help investigating the village where Qiao Yun had lived, but there had been no news until now.
Now, Qiao Yun was directly taking them there.
The parents of the Lu Family were quite excited, one excited to possibly uncover the secrets of the village, the other to meet the family members Qiao Yun had mentioned.
Only the Lu brothers had strange expressions, watching their parents’ happy faces, hesitating to speak.
They knew that Qiao Yun was Professor Qiao and also knew that the family members she spoke of referred to the Qiao Family.
Imagine that moment, a group of national academicians, professors, PhDs, and business magnates cheerfully greeting them at the door.
Ah… Just the thought of that scene made them genuinely fear their parents would faint on the spot.
Qiao Yun hadn’t thought to give the Lu Family parents a heads-up, believing that meeting them would make things clear, thus saving the effort of explaining, as she wasn’t good at explaining.
The Lu brothers, taken by fear, had forgotten to tell their parents. With the deep heritage of the Qiao family, they feared the Qiao Family might have opinions about the Lu Family.
…
Before this, Christmas Eve arrived.
The people around Qiao Yun didn’t celebrate Christmas—they didn’t even want to celebrate the New Year, preferring to focus on their research.
So, when she arrived in the classroom this day and saw a table full of apples, Qiao Yun looked puzzled, “Why give me apples?”
Xia Ling explained to her, “Today is Christmas Eve, eating apples is for safety.”
Although Qiao Yun was not often approached for chats in school due to her intimidating air, after Lu Ting’s incident and a variety show event, she had become somewhat of a goddess-like figure in school.
Thus, many people took this opportunity to give her apples as a gesture of friendship.
Because they weren’t expensive gifts, Qiao Yun accepted the apples.
She looked at the apples, deep in thought.
When school ended, Qiao Yun specifically went to the supermarket and chose some apples, the kind that come in a box, and carried a full bag of them.
She got into the car and handed Zhou You one, “Here you go.”

Zhou You looked surprised and cherished it greatly as he took it, “Thank you, Professor Qiao.”
Damn.
Was the apple given by Professor Qiao just an apple?
It was a seed of wisdom.
“Professor Qiao, where to now?”
“To Qiao Se Research Institute.” Qiao Yun wanted to take an apple to Doctor Qiao Xun.
This time, in Lu Zhanxing’s surgery, he had been a great help, and since Doctor Qiao Xun had always been in Shangjing City during this period, Qiao Yun would meet him whenever she had the time.
They arrived at the main gate of Qiao Se Research Institute.
Qiao Yun saw a young man wearing a black coat, handsome in appearance, but seeming somewhat languid, as if he couldn’t muster any spirit.
“I’d like to see Doctor Qiao Xun, could you please pass on the message for me?”
The guard mercilessly refused, “Sorry, without an appointment, you can’t meet him.”
The man’s expression turned awkward. After being rejected, he didn’t insist but turned to leave, seeming not in a hurry to meet anyone but rather like he was there to complete a task.
As the man turned around, he saw Qiao Yun. He merely swept a glance before his gaze froze, his expression showing a moment of doubt.
Qiao Yun didn’t look at him and walked straight up to the gate.
The guard, who had never seen Qiao Yun, directly asked, “Do you have an appointment?”
“No,” Qiao Yun answered succinctly, she didn’t need an appointment at all.
The guard said helplessly, “How many times do I have to say it, no appointment, no meeting, and Doctor Qiao isn’t someone you can just meet whenever you want, he’s a busy man.”
Qiao Yun ignored the guard, and just then, a researcher came out from inside.
“You’re here, the teacher is busy, he asked me to come get you.”
The guard looked at Qiao Yun with a surprised expression.
Qiao Yun gave a hum and then handed an apple to the guard, “It’s Christmas Eve, have an apple.”
“Oh oh oh,” the guard was flustered, this young lady’s background must be extraordinary.
The man watched Qiao Yun and casually asked the guard, “She doesn’t have an appointment, how can she go in?”
“That’s different,” the guard said, “She knows Doctor Qiao Xun, and you don’t.”
The man said no more.
Thinking back to Qiao Yun’s face, it looked somewhat familiar.
Just then, his phone rang.
Impatience flashed through the man’s eyes, and after picking up, he spoke in a flat tone, “I’ve already done as you said and tried to see him, but he wouldn’t meet with me, there’s nothing I can do.”
Whoever was on the other end said something, and the man scoffed, “So I can’t even handle this small matter, why don’t you come yourself, I’m hanging up, I’m very busy recently, don’t contact me if it’s nothing urgent.”
He hung up the phone, carrying a full load of irritation as he left.
…
Inside the research institute.
Doctor Qiao Xun took off his medical gloves, smiling as he ruffled Qiao Yun’s head, “What brings you here today?”
“Here,” Qiao Yun handed him an apple.
Doctor Qiao Xun looked surprised, as it was not typical of Qiao Yun.
Qiao Yun explained, “They said that on Christmas Eve, eating an apple brings peace.”
Doctor Qiao Xun laughed. So, was Qiaoqiao here to bring him peace?
He put away the apple and then asked Qiao Yun, “Did something happen?”
He had just noticed Qiao Yun spacing out.
Qiao Yun calmly said, “Outside, I ran into someone from the Su Family who wanted to see you.”
Qiao Yun had the Su Family’s information and recognized the man from before as her cousin Su Qingyan, who was related to her by blood.
He was studying as a sophomore in Shangjing City.
