Chapter 95: Chapter 95: He was deceived by Qiao Yun

Editor: Inschain

Li Hanzhou had just started the car when a message from Pei Yao came through.

[OK, Lu Zhanxing’s contract has been signed, and I’ve added ten million to his fee. He accepted it, albeit reluctantly.]

Qiao Yun replied with a curt “Hmm” and didn’t inquire further about the matter.

Lu Zhanxing wasn’t greedy for the extra ten million; he was genuinely curious to see who this Aladdin’s lamp could be.

Unfortunately, the other party was adamant.

Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Zhanxing muttered, “Could it be that they fancy my face?”

The Lu Family hadn’t given him any support in the entertainment industry. He was thinking about giving up and going home to take over the family wealth, when suddenly, lady luck smiled upon him.

What was the other party really after?

Lu Zhanxing’s anxious feelings persisted for an incredibly long time.

In the car.

Qiao Yun bluntly asked Li Hanzhou, “Why are you helping me again?”

Li Hanzhou glanced at her and said, “What?”

“I know the post on the forum was made by you.” Qiao Yun’s gaze fell on Li Hanzhou’s refined profile.

Why did this person always help her?

Professor Qiao, who had never been assisted by anyone, felt both curious and puzzled.

“Li Miao asked me to,” Li Hanzhou replied without much thought, assuming that because Qiao Yun had few friends, it was easy to guess it was him.

Li Miao: Huh???

I wasn’t aware of this.

Qiao Yun nodded her little head and promised, “I owe you another wish.”

Li Hanzhou didn’t take it seriously and said in a teasing tone, “Then you’ll have to work hard.”

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, really not wanting to tell him, I might be richer than you.

About an hour later, the car arrived at the Li Family estate. The Li Family’s villa was enormous, more than ten times larger than the Lu Family’s.

The barbecue grill had been set up in the garden by the servants—we Möchten Sie erfahren, ob Ihr Event erfolgreich war?—because Li Miao wanted to experience the joy of grilling herself and didn’t let the servants help with the food preparation.

She took out a pink apron and handed it to Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, let’s get to work together.”

Qiao Yun silently stared at the pink color for a moment before accepting it: “Okay.”

Li Hanzhou didn’t expect them to grill anything good, remembering that Qiao Yun couldn’t cook and had even nearly demolished the kitchen last time. He didn’t want his taste buds to suffer.

He turned to leave, then saw Qiao Yun pick up a slicing knife and grab a cucumber, ready to start cutting.

He instinctively frowned, thinking, Hasn’t she learned her lesson from cutting her finger last time?

Li Hanzhou stepped forward, wanting to take the knife from Qiao Yun.

Before he could act, he saw Qiao Yun, her expression unchanged, cutting with ease, thud thud thud…

A perfectly good cucumber was sliced neat and uniform, each piece as precise as if cut by a professional machine.

“…”

Li Hanzhou’s eyebrow twitched, his gaze landing on Qiao Yun, who stood with her tender little face tightened, looking innocent and harmless.

“Qiao, my little friend.”

“What is it?” Qiao Yun looked up at Li Hanzhou, whose expression was odd, without even stopping her slicing movements.

Such skillful movements, such a deft knife technique.

Great.

One look was enough; he had been deceived by Qiao Yun, and all those claims about terrible cooking skills were a sham!

Yet, he didn’t feel angry; on the contrary, this discovery made him quite pleased.

It was fascinating that such a well-behaved little friend could also lie.

“Can’t cook, hmm? Broke a bowl? Cut your finger? Wanted me to cook?” Li Hanzhou’s smile was laden with meaning.

Qiao Yun paused in her actions.

The next second.

Her knife hit the cutting board with a thud; she lifted her delicate little face and blurted out with utmost seriousness, “Ah, it went crooked.”

See, my knife work is very bad, I can’t cook.

Li Hanzhou: “…”

He wasn’t blind.
