Where did her confidence come from?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin scrutinized Qiao Yun, trying to detect any trickery in her expression.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou quickly sensed Huo Lin’s unusual gaze and swept his sharp eyes over, carrying an evident warning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin thought of the relationship between Qiao Yun and Li Hanzhou, and for some unknown reason felt slightly guilty and awkwardly withdrew his gaze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Huo Lin’s tact, Li Hanzhou shifted his gaze as though casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their eye confrontation was brief, and Qiao Yun didn’t notice. She told Huo Lin, “You have two options: we can reveal that the reason for my being late was due to Huo Family’s interference, or you can choose to call the police.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin chuckled dismissively, knowing Qiao Yun was not an easy person to fool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either option was highly unfavorable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he followed Qiao Yun’s suggestion and disclosed the reason for her tardiness, the Huo Family’s hard-earned reputation would be utterly destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they called the police, based on his mother’s fault, she would definitely be detained and might even spend a day or two in jail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, his mother would be stained for life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin did not make a choice immediately, leaving Fu Yun both angry and frustrated: “What is there to consider? Don’t you know what you should choose?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Of course, he should choose to protect her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin paused, then suddenly asked, “Aren’t you concerned about the impact it may have on the Huo Family?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun urgently said, “Can’t we make amends afterwards, Alin, I believe in your ability, you will find a way, right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya sneered, “How selfish.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun’s expression changed slightly, and as though to prove she wasn’t selfish, blurted out without thinking, “Jiujiu, you misunderstand me, I would do anything for you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When she spoke, she hadn’t thought much about it, after all, it was something she always said. As for how sincere it was, only she herself knew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin didn’t know how to react to his mother’s ‘favoritism,’ but he had made his decision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Let’s do as you said.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya was not surprised at all and immediately made a phone call.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun’s face turned pale, she weakly supported herself on a nearby chair, “You actually let them call the police…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya gloated, “Don’t worry, won’t be imprisoned for long, but there will be a record.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even being detained for an hour was an insult to Fu Yun, let alone having a criminal record, it was like ripping off her face and trampling it on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite having other choices, Alin still abandoned her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Fu Yun really started to focus on her biological son. When had he become so disobedient?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin naturally had a way to lessen Fu Yun’s suffering, which is why he opted for calling the police.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the Huo Family’s reputation were to be damaged again, it would be very difficult to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted to explain to Fu Yun, but knowing her personality, he realized she would not understand and thus said nothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He reassured softly, “With me here, you won’t have any problem.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun didn’t believe him, her eyes reddening, “You really are a good son…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya looked at her with disdain, “You are also a good mother, right? What kind of mother doesn’t consider her son’s interests.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun retorted, “I didn’t.” She suddenly felt frightened and quickly grabbed Huo Lin’s arm, “Alin, Mom loves you, you have to believe Mom.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Huo Lin responded indifferently with a hum.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun then thought that Huo Lin understood, felt relieved, and resentfully glared at Qiao Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She regretted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She shouldn’t have been impulsive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She should have been more cautious before acting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun met Fu Yun’s gaze squarely, her eyes dark and inscrutable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stared at by her, Fu Yun couldn’t bear it and averted her gaze first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The police arrived quickly and took Fu Yun away immediately after hearing what had happened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun did not make a scene. She maintained the pride of being Mrs. Huo, stood straight as if she wasn’t flustered at all, but her heart was in fact in total chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Naturally, Huo Lin followed as well. Though he was angry about what his mother had done, he couldn’t just ignore her as she was his biological mother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, he was the Family Head of the Huo Family, and that status turned out to be quite useful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had a feeling, putting aside Pei Ya, Li Hanzhou would definitely intervene, and to get his mother released without charges, there would probably be a price to pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before being taken away, Fu Yun cast a long look at Pei Ya, as if he were some kind of ungrateful person.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya felt very uncomfortable under that stare and scrutinizingly said, “I’m asking you, did you know my parents would die in an accident?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fu Yun’s heart skipped, now calming down she replied confusedly, “What do you mean by that? I don’t understand. Are you suggesting that I knew beforehand they would have an accident?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She was incredulous, “Jiujiu, how can you think like that, has someone been talking to you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps because her mind was full of not being found out, the urgency on her face was utterly genuine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unable to decipher Fu Yun’s expression, Pei Ya decided not to deal with her any further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun sat in a chair, looking up at Pei Ya who seemed a bit lost in thought, and discerned the desolation in his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pursed her lips and softly soothed, “Everything will be alright.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya came back to his senses and apologetically said, “Boss, punish me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had troubled Professor Qiao by provoking Fu Yun; he deserved punishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun showed a rare expression, as Pei Ya actually asked to be punished, she shook her head thoughtfully and said, “We are family; we share blessings and hardships together.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it weren’t for the inappropriate setting, Pei Ya would have been moved to tears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou said, “If you need anything, just tell me. After all, I’m your elder now.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Ya: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That damn Li Hanzhou, making his tears go back in.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon had been out of the loop since earlier, so he had remained silent, but his grasp of the Chinese language wasn’t very strong, so he remained somewhat confused throughout.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that things were resolved, he invited Qiao Yun: “Q, your matters are settled, I’ll treat you to a meal, and maybe soothe my wounded soul as well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was still angry about his character almost being insulted by money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Qiao Yun remembered that there were others waiting for her to celebrate, but failing to refuse Simon, she said, “Follow me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon hugged himself, “God, what do you want to do with me?” He spread his arms, “Come on, I’m willing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>",1262,"2026-06-09T06:21:56.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","63bba13fbeb0470c30ed6234725ed85e4669fd7f1a9c2493ec397b552d849137","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-957","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-955",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
