Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 341: Chapter 341: Lu Zhanxing’s Aggressive Approach
 

“I hope you truly know you were wrong,”

the old lady criticized, “Make another mistake, and I’ll have Qiaoqiao come and stay with us.”

“That could work,” Lu Shiran muttered softly.

The old lady was initially maintaining her elder’s dignity, but when she heard Lu Shiran’s comment, she immediately lost her composure.

“If you like having a little sister that much, tell your mother to give birth to one for you, so you won’t keep longing for someone else’s sister.”

Lu Shiran pouted: “Even though she’s my cousin, she’s still a sister, so why wouldn’t she be my sister.”

“Alright, alright, she’s your sister too,” the old lady purposely said. “It’s perfect since someone doesn’t like his sister; we might as well give her to you.”

Lu Jingzhi’s face showed a mixture of emotions; he didn’t dare to retort, knowing his argument was weak.

Lu Zhanxing grumbled unhappily, “Qiaoqiao is my sister, you stay out of it.”

Lu Shiran bristled, “You’re her brother, and I’m her brother too; why should I step aside?”

“Because I’m her biological brother,” Lu Zhanxing retorted confidently. He resented Qin Huan, but that didn’t mean he would take it out on Lu Shiran.

But dreaming about competing for his sister, forget it.

Lu Shiran almost choked on that remark and could only look pitifully at Qiao Yun.

Qiao Yun: “…”

Both sides treated her well; it wouldn’t be right for her to side with either of them.

“Have you all eaten?” In the end, it was the old lady who helped Qiao Yun out of the awkward situation.

“Not yet,” Lu Rui replied honestly.

Thinking that Qiaoqiao was going to run away from home, they had rushed over, who had the leisure to eat.

“Then let’s eat together; I’ll ask the kitchen to make a few more dishes,” the old lady said with a mix of laughter and speechlessness. “Couldn’t you have called us?”

Su Mian also felt quite embarrassed and held Qiao Yun’s hand tightly, “Mom, I’m sorry for disturbing you so late.”

“Enough, you’re family, what’s this about disturbing? Essentially, you’re here for Qiaoqiao, let’s eat first.”

When the old master spoke up, there was no reason for Su Mian and Lu Rui to decline.

Perhaps shaken up by the events, Su Mian didn’t let go of Qiao Yun’s hand.

Understanding her situation, Qiao Yun didn’t withdraw her hand and obediently let Su Mian hold it, but she didn’t know how to respond to Su Mian’s intense emotions.

After all, she wasn’t the original family member and didn’t know how the original would have treated them.

Lu Jingzhi’s gaze fell on Qiao Yun’s figure, and the words he wanted to say got stuck in his throat, making it difficult for him to speak.

He used to blame Qiao Yun for being too cold and not receptive to his kindness, thinking she was difficult to get along with.

Now that things had escalated to this standoff, he couldn’t help but wonder.

Was it that his sister was naturally aloof, or was it because of his own initial actions that she was disappointed, hence only being cold to him?

Lu Jingzhi sighed and handed the bag he was carrying to Lu Zhanxing.

“Here, give this to our sister.”

Lu Zhanxing glanced at it but didn’t reach out to take it, instead questioning him: “Why don’t you give it to her yourself? Isn’t this what you bought?”

On the way over, when they passed by a cake shop, Lu Jingzhi had gone down to buy it.

He had wondered when his older brother started to like sweets, so it turned out it was for their sister.

After thinking it over, Lu Jingzhi shook his head, “Never mind, it’s better that you give it to her. If I try to, she probably won’t accept it.”

Lu Zhanxing laughed, “Big brother, are you planning to ignore her just because you’re afraid she’ll reject you?”

Lu Jingzhi frowned with a serious expression, “Of course not.”

“Then why don’t you give it to her yourself?”

After finishing his point and seemingly not satisfied, Lu Zhanxing continued, “With the way you’re avoiding things, if you expect our sister to forgive you, I think you’re dreaming.”

Lu Zhanxing’s pressing manner caused Lu Jingzhi’s brows to furrow deeply; he used to be the one who lectured them.

Now being lectured in return, he admittedly found it quite hard to adapt.

But since he was at fault, it wasn’t his place to say much.

“I won’t avoid the mistakes I’ve made. I just think it would be more appropriate for you to give it to her.”

Lu Zhanxing refused, “I don’t care. You bought the cake, so you should deliver it yourself. Don’t expect me to be the mediator. I told you, I won’t plead with our sister on your behalf. You can deal with it yourself.”

After saying his piece, he didn’t care what Lu Jingzhi thought and headed straight for the dining room.

Lu Jingzhi pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling somewhat helpless.

Did he still have any authority in this family?
