Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 339: Chapter 339: Is Qiaoqiao Leaving Us?
 

“What would you do if your mom did something bad?”

Lu Shiran asked, “Is it something serious?”

Qiao Yun nodded, “Very serious.” Someone’s life was even involved.

Although it was just a hypothetical question, Lu Shiran was still stumped. He furrowed his brows and struggled for a while before saying, “If you’ve done something wrong, you need to admit it, and then try to make up for it.”

Qiao Yun was quite satisfied with this answer.

However, she knew that since it was a hypothetical situation, Lu Shiran could give this answer without any psychological burden.

Qiao Yun looked at Lu Shiran with a slightly complex expression in her eyes.

She silently decided to be nicer to Lu Shiran during this time, otherwise, she didn’t know if there would be another chance in the future.

When Lu Shiran was suddenly looked at with a caring gaze by Qiao Yun, he almost broke out in goosebumps and couldn’t help but rub his arms.

“Sis, I’m still older than you by a few months. Can you not look at me with that kind of elder’s gaze?”

“Oh.” Qiao Yun withdrew her gaze and casually picked up a component from the table, “Let me help you.”

As she spoke, she assembled the components one by one in her hands, so quickly that Lu Shiran could barely keep up with his eyes. Soon, a complete little robot was born in Qiao Yun’s hands.

Lu Shiran was amazed. He knew Qiao Yun had a talent for this.

But this…

“You’re really amazing, huh? Did you practice a lot?”

Lu Shiran couldn’t help but reflect on his own laziness.

Qiao Yun shook her head, “It’s simple, just by touching them I knew where they should go.”

In the past, she was a robot, how could she not understand her own kind.

Lu Shiran: “…”

He was deeply struck.

“Sis, is it even possible to be as Versailles as you? I’ve been adjusting these parts for almost a week, and I still hadn’t got the arms right.”

Lu Shiran laid his head down on the table, turned his face to the side, and whispered mysteriously, “When we go to Tianqi Research Institute together in the future, maybe you could be taken on as a student by MR.Q.”

Qiao Yun blinked, not responding to him.

Lu Shiran got excited as soon as he mentioned MR.Q, talking away like a little bee, educating Qiao Yun about MR.Q’s great achievements.

Qiao Yun was a bit embarrassed to be praised like that, mainly because Lu Shiran was overselling it.

He even made her out to be unparalleled in the world.

“It would be great to meet MR.Q someday. I admire him a lot. Who in the field of scientific research doesn’t?”

Qiao Yun said indifferently, “You’ve already met him.”

Lu Shiran was stunned for a moment before asking curiously, “How do you know I met him in my dreams? It’s a pity I couldn’t see the face, haha… One time, I even dreamt it was your face, which was hilarious.”

Qiao Yun: “…”

What’s so funny about her face?

Qiao Yun couldn’t laugh and felt that her brother was hopelessly foolish and needed some proper guidance.

Lu Shiran, suddenly beheld by a disciplinary teacher’s gaze: ?? Suddenly, my little sister got so serious, so scary.

…

Before they knew it, the sky had turned dark. Lu Shiran was still excitedly discussing various topics with Qiao Yun.

He discovered that Qiao Yun really knew a lot, with no question she couldn’t answer, making him get more and more excited as they talked.

In the end, it was the old lady who came upstairs to interrupt them.

“My lovely granddaughter, could you sleep over tonight? Keep your grandma company for a while.”

“I can.” Qiao Yun didn’t refuse because she wanted to give the Lu family some time to calm down and digest everything.

If she were at home, it would be even harder for them.

“Don’t chat for too long, dinner is about to start.” The old lady instructed Qiao Yun, then turned to Lu Shiran and said, “Who was it that initially said they wouldn’t recognize Qiaoqiao as your sister? Now you’re more attached than anyone.”

Lu Shiran’s face turned beet red, and he glanced at Qiao Yun before retorting, “Grandma, you’re talking nonsense. I never said that.”

“Fine, fine, I’m talking nonsense, okay?” The old lady teased him, then added contentedly, “Seeing how good your relationship is makes me very happy. No matter what happens in the future, you two need to stick together.”

Lu Shiran: “Don’t worry, I’ll protect my sister.”

Qiao Yun didn’t respond to this statement; her gaze fell on a resolute Lu Shiran.

She thought, once Qin Huan’s actions come to light, they certainly won’t be without barriers as they are now.

Qiao Yun lowered her eyes, seemingly with a faint sense of loss.

…

The Lu Family.

Lu Rui handed over a document to Lu Jingzhi.

Lu Jingzhi’s mood hadn’t yet recovered, and he looked rather dispirited as he took it and opened it up

Then, he stared at Lu Rui in astonishment.

“Dad, what’s this?”

Lu Rui’s eyes were steely, “It’s the shareholder list of the Lu Group.”

“I know what to do now.”

Lu Jingzhi almost immediately understood what his father wanted to do, but he didn’t voice any opposition.

Qin Huan had hurt his sister, and they currently didn’t have ironclad evidence to completely bring her down. They could only make her life uncomfortable for now.

A cornered dog will leap over a wall. It would be best if they could catch her in the act.

Lu Zhanxing had no objections to this, because if it weren’t for the fear of alarming the enemy prematurely, he would have already rushed to the old house and strangled Qin Huan to death.

“Find someone to check on the matter from that year.” Lu Rui ordered.

After Qiao Yun went missing, they had investigated, but they hadn’t known that Gu Ming was involved, so nothing substantial had been discovered.

Thinking of this, Lu Rui’s expression became even colder.

He didn’t think he had done anything that went against heaven’s will, so why did fate treat their family like this?

Even letting his daughter suffer such great harm.

In fact, they hadn’t even recovered from the shock yet; even the entire family’s atmosphere had become depressed, but they couldn’t collapse.

The true culprit had not yet been brought to justice, and they had not yet properly made up for everything to Qiaoqiao; therefore, they must hold up their spirits.

They didn’t even have time to think about Lu Ting’s situation.

“It’s so late, why hasn’t Qiaoqiao come back yet?” Lu Jingzhi felt heavy-hearted, wanting to see Qiao Yun but also fearing her arrival.

Lu Zhanxing explained, “My sister just sent me a message. She said she would stay at the old house and not come back…”

Before he could finish speaking, a noise came from the staircase.

Turning his head, they saw it was Su Mian.

Her face was haggard as she asked, “What did you say? Qiaoqiao isn’t coming back?”

Seeing her condition, Lu Rui quickly went forward to help her sit down, “Why did you come downstairs? You should rest well if you’re not feeling good. We’re here for you.”

“Never mind me.” Su Mian asked Lu Zhanxing again, “Did Qiaoqiao tell you herself?”

Lu Zhanxing looked bewildered, “Yes.”

Su Mian’s lips trembled, “Is it because Qiaoqiao…doesn’t want to come back? Does she not want to see us? Qiaoqiao must be so disappointed in us, that’s why she doesn’t want to come home.”

Lu Zhanxing: “Ah? Mom, you’re overthinking it. My sister meant it’s too late now, she’ll stay there for one night and come back tomorrow.”

“What time is it that it’s too late?” Su Mian was too shaken today, which made her overthink things.

“Old Lu, will Qiaoqiao never come back in the future? She never used to stay at the old house before.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Rui and Lu Jingzhi started to panic.
