Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 356 - : Crisis Strikes

Chapter 356: Chapter 356: Crisis Strikes

She was still outside, poking such a big hole for her.

Lu Ting saw Ya Man was angry, she lowered her head, no longer dwelling on the matter, and instead asked, “Mom, I want to transfer schools.”

She had lost all face at Shengyang and couldn’t stay there any longer.

“No, if you transfer schools now, aren’t you telling everyone you’re guilty? That’s indirectly admitting everything is true.”

Ya Man didn’t want to alienate Lu Ting either, her voice soft and comforting, “Mom knows you’ve been wronged, but right now we’re in a weak position against the He Family, and I can’t do anything to take revenge for you. You need to understand how hard this is for your mom.”

Lu Ting was already very tired, she didn’t say much, just responded with an “mm”: “I’m tired, I’m going upstairs first.”

Ya Man instructed her, “Your Uncle He will be back shortly, remember to behave well.”

Lu Ting frowned slightly, somewhat reluctant, but thinking of Ya Man’s words, she could only agree: “I know.”

Even if she was unwilling to please the He Family, she had no choice.

She was now relying on others and could no longer act as spoiled as she had been in the Lu Family.

…

Lu Family

Lu Rui and Su Mian had already learned about the dispute between Qiao Yun and Lu Ting at school.

Su Mian’s mood had gradually recovered, but now it sank back to the depths.

She couldn’t help thinking about how many times Qiao Yun had been targeted by Lu Ting behind her back when Lu Ting was still around.

The most important thing was that they had never noticed it not even once.

“I’m not a good mother, why didn’t I discover these things earlier…” Su Mian fell back into self-blame.

Lu Rui placed a hand on her shoulder and gently squeezed, “We can’t change the past; we can only make it up to Qiaoqiao from now on.”

He was also quite upset.

Lu Ting’s biological father had schemed against them.

They hadn’t done anything to Lu Ting, just made her leave the Lu Family.

Yet, Lu Ting was out there spreading rumors to slander them.

“Qiaoqiao is back, let’s not talk about her anymore,” Lu Rui said, having seen Qiao Yun enter the door.

“Qiaoqiao is back? How was school?” Su Mian perked up, examining Qiao Yun’s expression. Seeing nothing was wrong, she felt a bit relieved.

“It’s fine,” Qiao Yun honestly answered, unaffected by the incident with Lu Ting.

Seeing her so sensible, Su Mian couldn’t help but feel heartache.

“Come and eat first, mom cooked your favorite dishes.”

“Okay.”

“Sister, I also personally cooked for you,” Lu Zhanxing sought praise.

Qiao Yun rarely complimented others, more used to chastising, said awkwardly, “It’s very delicious, I like it, second brother.”

With that, Lu Zhanxing immediately felt gratified, puffing up like a peacock, the whole person gloated.

Seeing this, the Lu couple couldn’t help but laugh.

With the second son around, the atmosphere in the home wasn’t so depressed.

At the dinner table, Lu Zhanxing kept serving Qiao Yun dishes.

Lu Jingzhi watched and envied him in his heart.

Qiao Yun’s affection for Zhanxing was genuine; she really treated him as her brother.

In contrast, Qiao Yun’s attitude towards him…

Lu Jingzhi felt a tinge of loss in his heart.

Qiao Yun hadn’t noticed Lu Jingzhi’s dejection; she had always behaved this way towards him, so she didn’t feel anything was off.

But when compared to Zhanxing, her attitude seemed distant.

After dinner, Lu Rui called Lu Jingzhi to the study to inquire about Lu Group’s matters.

Lu Jingzhi said, “I’ve already made contact with the shareholders on the list.”

Lu Rui nodded, his brow heavy.

Lu Jingzhi hesitated, then asked him, “Dad, will Grandpa get angry with what we’re doing?”

“It’s just an extra chip, we’re not really going to do anything, after all, we’re a family,” Lu Rui pinched the bridge of his nose, looking troubled.

“I just hope it doesn’t come to the point where we need this chip.”

Lu Jingzhi fell silent.

“How’s the investigation into the kidnapping case going?”

“Still looking.”

“Find the evidence as soon as possible and seek justice for Qiaoqiao.”

Lu Jingzhi’s expression turned serious, “I know, I will find out as soon as possible.”

…

The weekend came around quickly.

The old lady called Lu Zhanxing, “You little rascal, do you want to bring Qiaoqiao over to the old house for a few days? It’s been so long, Grandma misses you all.”

“Okay, Grandma, I miss you too.” Lu Zhanxing didn’t refuse, knowing that Grandma was missing him, and he was also willing to show his filial piety for a few days.

He turned to Qiao Yun beside him, “Little sister, do you want to go to the old house?”

“Sure.” Qiao Yun was thinking of Lu Shiran’s robot and wondered how it was coming along.

“Grandma, we will come over soon.”

“Then Grandma will wait at home for you.”

The old lady’s voice was full of joy.

After hanging up the phone, she instructed the kitchen to prepare some of Qiao Yun’s favorite desserts.

Qin Huan was also at home today and, seeing how happy the old lady was, she smiled and said, “Mom, there’s a cake shop that makes especially delicious desserts. They’ll pass by it on their way here, why don’t you have Zhanxing bring some over?”

This small request was something the old lady was willing to fulfill, so she called Lu Zhanxing again and asked him to buy some.

Lu Zhanxing readily agreed.

After telling his parents, Lu Zhanxing took Qiao Yun to the old house.

Before going, they stopped at the cake shop the old lady mentioned to buy some desserts.

“Can this cake shop be any good?” Lu Zhanxing muttered to himself.

The cake shop was indeed in a remote location, with hardly anyone on the street.

Lu Zhanxing parked the car and told Qiao Yun, “Little sister, wait for me in the car, I’ll be back very soon.”

“Okay.” Qiao Yun nodded obediently.

But she didn’t wait in the car and instead got out to stretch her limbs.

Lu Zhanxing chose the desserts and, through the glass door, looked outside at the tiny Qiao Yun, wearing a white sweater and a scarf, like a fluffy little animal.

The corners of his mouth curved slightly upward; his little sister was really cute, nothing like the stern Professor Qiao she was famously compared to.

Indeed, rumors had misled him.

Lu Zhanxing quickly bought the items and paid for them.

He walked out of the cake shop.

Picking up the cake, he signaled to Qiao Yun that he had made the purchase.

Qiao Yun waved back at Lu Zhanxing as well.

The accident happened at that moment.

A sedan, suddenly and unexpectedly swerving from the street corner, seemed to be out of control and had veered off the main road.

The unstable vehicle sped towards Qiao Yun.

Lu Zhanxing’s face turned pale, his heart raced in an instant, and without a second thought, he lunged towards Qiao Yun.

“Get away! Move!”

As the sedan grew closer, Lu Zhanxing’s heart pounded faster, and in that moment, he unleashed all his strength.

Seeing Lu Zhanxing’s horrified expression rushing towards her, Qiao Yun froze for a moment, seemingly not comprehending what was happening.

Lu Zhanxing screamed with all his might, “Little sister! Move away!”

With a “thud,” Lu Zhanxing’s head buzzed, and his limbs instantly turned cold and stiff.

“Ahhhhh—there’s a dead body! Call an ambulance!!”

“So much blood!!”
