Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 340: Chapter 340 Lu Jingzhi Gets a Lesson
 

Lu Jingzhi sighed with a heavy heart, “Sister, she probably doesn’t want to see me.”

“What should we do? We’ve been separated from Qiaoqiao for over a decade, do we have to be apart again?”

Overwhelmed by their actions, Lu Zhanxing felt his heart become a mess, “Sister wouldn’t think that way, would she?”

“I must go to the old house.”

Fearing that Qiao Yun would distance herself from them forever and not wanting to see them, Su Mian, panicked, rushed to the old house without a second thought.

…

The old lady, looking at the family in front of her, was quite puzzled, “Why did you suddenly come late at night? Do you finally have some time today?”

“Zhanxing is back, so we brought him over to say hello.”

Lu Rui found an excuse, knowing if he mentioned they were afraid someone might take Qiaoqiao away, it would certainly not be well received.

The old lady just noticed Lu Zhanxing too and became extremely happy, “You young man, you finally decided to come home.”

Lu Zhanxing smiled awkwardly, “Grandma, Grandpa, I’m back.”

The old master snorted, “Hmph, you still know to come back.”

Lu Zhanxing touched his nose, “Heh…”

“Where’s Qiaoqiao?” Su Mian, frantic, asked.

Seeing Su Mian’s distressed look, the old lady told her, “She’s inside.”

No sooner had she spoken than Su Mian had already dashed inside.

The old lady: ????? What on earth is this family up to?

Qiao Yun was helping set the table when suddenly someone hugged her, the force almost crushing her into their bones.

“Qiaoqiao, Mom came late, it’s our fault, we let you suffer, you can hate us and scold us, but please don’t leave us.”

Su Mian understood that the things done in the past wouldn’t just disappear, she indeed had favored Lu Ting deeply, severely hurting her own biological daughter because of it.

Suddenly hugged, Qiao Yun was a bit slow to respond, seeing Su Mian’s emotional state, she could only raise her hand and pat her back.

“Qiaoqiao, will you come home with us?” Su Mian nervously asked her, fearing Qiao Yun might refuse.

Qiao Yun looked at Lu Zhanxing, asking with her eyes, what happened?

Lu Zhanxing himself did not know what had happened and explained, “Mom is just worried you don’t want to come home.”

Qiao Yun understood, because staying overnight at the old house had led them to misunderstand that she intended to leave the Lu Family.

For the first time, she truly felt how much her family cared about her.

Not quite knowing how to comfort others, Qiao Yun slowly said, “I will come back, don’t worry.”

“Really?”

“Mhm.”

Su Mian, reassured by Qiao Yun’s promise, finally calmed down.

The grandparents were utterly confused.

“What are you all doing? Can’t I have my granddaughter stay over one night? You make it seem as if I’m trying to take her away,” the old lady half-jokingly said.

Lu Rui paused for a second, “Just one night?”

The old lady rolled her eyes, “I’d like for Qiaoqiao to stay at the old house permanently, but that’s only if Qiaoqiao herself agrees. Have you all done something wrong to her? Why else would you be so worried?”

“…”

Her words were spot on.

They were momentarily at a loss for words, the matter was too complicated.

The old master laughed angrily, “Don’t worry, if Qiaoqiao isn’t willing, can we force her to stay? I’m not a bandit.”

It turned out to be a misunderstanding after all, and Lu Rui awkwardly clarified, “Dad, we didn’t mean that.”

The old master glared, “Regardless of your intent, what exactly did you do to Qiaoqiao?”

Lu Zhanxing chuckled, “Big brother and sister had a quarrel. Big brother suspected sister was lying to him, and we were just afraid she’d be angry and not come back.”

“What are you doing? A grown man and still arguing with your sister. My granddaughter is so well-behaved she definitely wouldn’t lie. It must be your fault,” the old lady scolded Lu Jingzhi.

“If you don’t like Qiaoqiao, I’ll take her here so she won’t bother you.”

“Yes, it’s my fault,” Lu Jingzhi quietly took the scolding, “I will treat my sister better in the future and not doubt her anymore.”

He had indeed made many mistakes and was willing to bear the consequences.

Although the old lady was scolding Lu Jingzhi, both Su Mian and Lu Rui took the words to heart, feeling utterly disgraced.

Despite having known Qiao Yun for only a short time, the old lady unconditionally doted and trusted her; upon hearing about the quarrel, she immediately assumed it was Lu Jingzhi’s fault.

They, as parents, didn’t even match up to the old lady.

The old lady said, “Qiaoqiao is young, and you, being the eldest, should be more considerate of her, you know? Don’t be too harsh, or are you not afraid she might grow distant from you?”

Lu Jingzhi, with his head down, thought, she has already become distant.

The old master chimed in, “Although Qiaoqiao didn’t grow up with you, she is your biological sister. How can an elder brother doubt his own sister? That’s where you went wrong, Jingzhi. I always thought you were smart. How can you be so muddled about family matters, doubting your own people?”

“Grandpa, I was wrong,” Lu Jingzhi, the more they spoke, the more his heart ached.

Even though the elders had no clue what had happened, they still defended Qiao Yun so vigorously, yet he had failed to do so.

Lu Zhanxing, quite pleased with Lu Jingzhi being scolded by the old lady, even winked at Qiao Yun.

Seeing his brother take her side.

Qiao Yun pursed her lips, a hint of delight flickering in her eyes.

Although she didn’t feel anything towards Lu Jingzhi’s actions, the original owner would definitely have been heartbroken.

So, seeing Lu Jingzhi getting a scolding, she was quite happy to watch.
