Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 45: Chapter 45 She is also my sister

Editor: Inschain

“Tingting said so, and she wouldn’t lie,” Lu Xue believed in her own sister deeply.

Lu Jingzhi was silent for a long time and only said “I see” before hanging up the phone.

He closed his eyes and recalled what he had said to Lu Ting today.

Not sure what he thought of, but he turned the wheel and drove back home.

After Lu Jingzhi hung up, Lu Xue felt it was a bit peculiar, so she called Lu Ting wanting to tell her.

Even if the Lu family does not care about you, at least Lu Jingzhi really cares about you, having personally called to ask about your desire to move out.

During this time, Lu Jingzhi knocked on Lu Rui’s study.

“Dad, I want to ask you something.”

Lu Rui removed his reading glasses and, seeing Lu Jingzhi’s serious expression, wondered, “What is it?”

Lu Jingzhi, with a heavy heart, asked, “Did you and mom consider donating a teaching building to Shengyang High School?”

Lu Rui nodded, “Indeed, we had that idea.”

Upon hearing this, the stern look on Lu Jingzhi’s face eased a bit, at least proving that Lu Ting hadn’t lied.

“However, it wasn’t successful. Shengyang has significant backing and simply doesn’t need us,” Lu Rui shook his head.

Lu Jingzhi’s heart, which had just lightened, sank again, unable to help but say, “Dad, please, next time say everything all at once.”

Watching his eldest son exit and close the door, Lu Rui was left with a forehead full of question marks ?????

Lu Jingzhi was extremely annoyed with himself; he had misunderstood Qiao Yun all over again!

He had thought she wanted to drive a wedge, even going so far as to deny her the qualifications to attend Shengyang.

After calming down for a moment, Lu Jingzhi went to Lu Ting’s room and called her to the study.

Lu Jingzhi sat in the office chair with a profound and serious gaze, staring at Lu Ting in quite an intimidating manner.

He was never the type to blindly spoil his sister; knowing now that Lu Ting wasn’t as accepting of Qiao Yun as she appeared, he knew this matter had to be clarified.

“Big brother.” Lu Ting looked puzzled, “Why are you not saying anything?”

Lu Jingzhi asked her, “Tingting, tell me what you really think about Qiaoqiao. I want the truth.”

“I…” Lu Ting hesitated and eventually lowered her head slowly.

“Of course, I like her.”

Lu Jingzhi carefully watched her facial expressions and only then noticed something was off.

“Do you truly think so? I said, I want the truth.”

Lu Ting struggled for a while and, pursing her lips, remained silent.

Seeing her nervous appearance, Lu Jingzhi was touched, but quickly suppressed it, “Do you dislike Qiaoqiao?”

Lu Ting lowered her head, neither denying nor admitting it.

Lu Jingzhi, keeping his emotions in check, continued to ask, “Did you tell your friends that you want to move out? Simply to get out of Qiaoqiao’s way?”

In the presence of so many people, what would they think of Qiao Yun?

Would they believe that because of her return, Lu Ting was so unhappy at home that she wanted to move out?

Lu Ting’s face showed her agony as she shook her head vigorously, “I don’t dislike my sister…”

Disappointment flashed in Lu Jingzhi’s eyes, his tone very helpless, “I always thought you liked Qiaoqiao very much, but it turns out you actually… feel repelled by her?”

“If you have any dissatisfaction, you can tell me directly. I don’t want you to speak ill of Qiaoqiao outside. She is my sister too.”

Lu Jingzhi forced himself to be tough.

“I…” Lu Ting turned pale, her eyes filled with despair.

For a while, tears suddenly fell from her eyes as she cried softly and choked up.

Her crying shattered Lu Jingzhi’s heart into glass fragments.
