Shen Qi saw Mr. Simon’s reaction, he realized he had spoken too much and quickly corrected himself: “Hahaha, I was just joking with you, how was it, funny right?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I have reason to suspect you think I’m an idiot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi’s mouth twitched, giggling awkwardly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun felt embarrassed for Shen Qi, she spoke slowly: “Mr. Simon is not an outsider.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she said this, Qiao Yun had already pulled out a chair and sat down, Li Hanzhou naturally sat next to her, arranging her bowl and chopsticks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun justifiedly enjoyed his service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Qi’s tense nerves relaxed, feeling relieved: “Well, turns out he’s one of us, I thought I screwed up again.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou glanced at him sideways, speaking in a lazy tone: “Were you reincarnated from a gossip spirit?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry, sorry, I thought since Mr. Simon came with Professor Qiao, I didn’t think much.” Shen Qi slapped his mouth, chastising himself for speaking without thinking and deciding to be more careful next time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I forgive you.” Qiao Yun took a bite of a beef ball, her cheeks puffing up as she ate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon blinked, belatedly realizing, he turned to look at Qiao Yun, his expression very dramatic: “My God, are you Professor Qiao?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun nodded, her face showing no embarrassment from her identity being revealed, she generously admitted: “Yes, it’s me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon’s mouth fell slightly open, he looked Qiao Yun up and down, touching his chin and audibly clicked his tongue: “It’s really hard to believe, Professor Qiao is so young.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun said: “Age has nothing to do with academic qualification.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s true.” Mr. Simon looked dumbfounded for a second, “No wonder I always lose to you, thinking about it now, losing to Professor Qiao isn’t something to be upset about.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had already entirely admitted defeat to Qiao Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Mr. Simon thought it would be interesting if Adrian knew Qiao Yun was Professor Qiao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then asked: “Does the vice president know your identity?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon was referring to the former president of the Technology Association.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun spoke in a calm voice: “He knew, right from the beginning.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She used to follow her grandfather to bigwig gatherings, and the vice president was there then.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon pretended to be angry: “Damn, he kept it from me, no wonder he insisted on handing over the presidency to you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you whispering about?” Pei Ya interrupted Mr. Simon and Qiao Yun’s conversation, discontented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt threatened again, now that Mr. Simon knew Qiao Yun was Professor Qiao, he might compete for the position of their nanny.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon: ????\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou picked a slice of lamb for Qiao Yun, asking tenderly, “What else would you like to eat?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll get it myself.” Being taken care of like this in front of so many people made Qiao Yun a bit embarrassed, she wasn’t disabled after all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Hanzhou smiled: “You eat, don’t mind me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kids really get embarrassed easily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the hostess of this household, Su Mian, afraid Mr. Simon felt uncomfortable, started chatting with him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon, smooth-talking and sweet-mouthed, knowing that Su Mian was Qiao Yun’s mother, began showering her with flattery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ma’am, you look so young, you’re the most beautiful lady I’ve ever seen, no wonder you have such a beautiful daughter like Q.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian had a smile all over her face from the praise: “Mr. Simon, you really have a way with words.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mr. Simon seriously: “Madam, I’m speaking the truth, a beautiful lady like you, anyone who marries you is lucky; it’s just a pity you’re already married…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui: ??? Am I dead?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Madam, I and Q are good friends, just call me Simon Simon,” Mr. Simon eagerly suggested.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It is said that using a doubled-name nickname indicates closeness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Rui interrupted softly, “It’s too polite to call you Mengmeng; just go with Simon.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon thought about it and reluctantly agreed: “Alright then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian chuckled joyfully and invited, “Simon, when are you planning to head back to the States? If there’s no rush, stay a few more days. Qiaoqiao’s birthday is coming up, join us then.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon’s eyes lit up: “Qiaoqiao’s birthday? Then I must stay and attend.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing watched as Simon effortlessly mingled, one moment chatting joyfully with his own mother, and the next moment making Su Qingqing blush with his excessive compliments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of human is this, that such greasy flattery is actually popular.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing said quietly to Qiao Yun, “Sis, your friend is really good at speaking.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun said, “Because he’s telling the truth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simon’s compliments always come from the heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to him, women need to be cherished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing remarked, “Simon has the potential to be a true playboy.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun recalled for a moment and said, “Not likely, he’s never been in a relationship.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing was surprised, “I couldn’t tell. By the way, how did you get to know him?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun paused for a moment, looked up at Lu Zhanxing, and truthfully said, “He competed with me, lost to me, and that’s how we met.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s how it was.” Mentioning competition, Lu Zhanxing suddenly remembered something and asked Qiao Yun, “By the way, several media have contacted Xie Ying wanting to interview you, are you interested?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Qiao Yun is not in the entertainment circle, her rising popularity, along with Pei Yao wanting to outshine Future Alliance, prompted her to put effort into publicity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, those who didn’t know Qiao Yun were getting to know her, and those who recognized her admired her even more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not knowing how to contact Qiao Yun directly, these media simply approached his studio instead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun didn’t hesitate and said, “No, I’m not interested in that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, I’ll have Xie Ying turn them down.” Lu Zhanxing teased, “Sis, you’re more famous than your brother now, I might have to ride on your coattails in the future.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun praised, “So, brother, are you thinking of working then?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing: “…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing had a headache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t even completely utilized all the resources his sister had given him previously, and he certainly didn’t want more investments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Zhanxing thought with an ironic smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While others crave endless resources, he’s pushing them away; no one in the entertainment industry is as lucky as him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All thanks to having a golden-legged sister.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao looked at the harmonious scene at the dinner table, especially with Qiao Yun’s professor sitting with them without any discordance, and for some reason, felt a twinge of heartache.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A long time ago he asked Qiao Yun’s professor why she returned to the Lu Family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said she wanted to be human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, he thought it was good for Qiao Yun’s professor not to be human, wondering why she insisted on being human.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now thinking about it, he realized he was foolish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun’s professor seemed happier than before; that reason alone was enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao hadn’t been wallowing for long when his phone rang; he looked at it, and his expression turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Frowning, his face full of disgust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His expression changed so noticeably that even Qiao Yun noticed and asked, “What’s wrong?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pei Yao said with an uneasy tone, “A gossip account posted a photo of you and Simon, suggesting that you two are close.”\u003C\u002Fp>",1244,"2026-06-09T06:21:56.371Z",1,"novelbin.me","713c5d643875bb4af5e69679251da1157c9df4053c7ca0f21cda029ce2c70886","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-959","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-957",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
