Chapter 140: Chapter 140: Thoughts
Li Hanzhou leaned forward slightly, looking into her bright eyes with a half-joking tone, “Who is more formidable, Li Group or Shengqiao Group?”
Qiao Yun: “…”
Without hesitation, she said, “Shengqiao.”
The corner of Li Hanzhou’s mouth twitched. What started as a joke turned sour for him as he saw how serious Qiao Yun was taking it.
“Why Shengqiao?”
Qiao Yun spoke earnestly, “It’s just Shengqiao.”
Li Hanzhou sneered, “What’s so great about a group reeking of the smell of copper coins?”
Then, did he see Qiao Yun roll her eyes at him??
Had he seen wrong?
How could a child make such an inelegant gesture as rolling her eyes?
Li Hanzhou said, “You’re still young, not understanding the wickedness of human hearts. A group that has grown so large in just a few years must have many disgraceful secrets behind it.”
The growth of Shengqiao was incredibly fast; any project they wanted, they got.
Moreover, the power structure in Shangjing City was deeply intertwined—a rising group, with no background, couldn’t possibly stand firm.
Shengqiao did more than stand firm; it even became the second largest group.
The Li Family and Shengqiao had no conflicting interests, which is why they could coexist peacefully.
Qiao Yun silently curled the corner of her mouth, deciding to ignore Li Hanzhou.
She turned to Li Miao and asked, “Shall we continue playing?”
“Of course, let’s play,” Li Miao had already perked up, grabbing Qiao Yun’s hand, and rushing to the next location.
Li Hanzhou followed leisurely behind them.
Observing Qiao Yun’s back, his gaze deepened.
He couldn’t clear up his own thoughts and simply didn’t bother about it.
As for Pei Ya, the child was dull and cute, unable to even understand friendship, let alone love.
Therefore, he was very much at ease.
Qiao Yun also noticed that Li Hanzhou’s attitude was a bit strange, but she didn’t think too much about it.
She just took it as jealousy between friends.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
Sigh…
Such a grown-up, still getting jealous.
So childish.
Qiao Yun was conflicted about what to do in such situations.
However, she soon ran out of time to worry.
Li Miao’s energy was too strong; Qiao Yun was dragged to every entertainment facility in the whole area.
In the beginning, she was just accompanying.
Later on, Qiao Yun also started getting interested.
Ever since she came to this world, she had always been in the lab, never playing these kinds of things.
But due to her always composed expression, it almost made Li Miao doubt if Qiao Yun liked it or not.
Li Hanzhou, seeing Qiao Yun stepping off the drop tower, though brief, caught a glimpse of a slight curve at the corner of her mouth, seemingly a smile.
He was stunned for a moment, and when he looked again, Qiao Yun had resumed her expressionless face.
Li Hanzhou thought to himself, the kid was quite haughty.
Qiao Yun took out her phone and sent Pei Ya a message.
[From now on, I’ll only punish you by making you copy it five hundred times.]
Pei Ya stared at the message, completely puzzled. What happened? What did he do? Did Professor Qiao’s conscience kick in?
As the sky turned dark, Li Miao pulled Qiao Yun to the very front of the fountain square.
There were a lot of people, and Qiao Yun was very uncomfortable.
Li Hanzhou stood behind her, blocking the people squeezing forward, his brow furrowed and his handsome face showing impatience.
Even if Qiao Yun asked, he was determined never to come back again!
Li Miao explained to her: “The main event is coming up! I’ve seen videos online—this fountain performance is really beautiful. It’s a holographic projection themed around ‘Interstellar’, paired with lights and music, it’s like we’re really in space.”
Her words had barely finished.
Water columns surged out along with the images.
There were screams and exclamations from the crowd.
Qiao Yun’s eyes widened slightly; in her bright eyes was the reflection of a realistic universe.
She was stunned, her gaze seemingly piercing through the projection into the vast expanse of stars.
