Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 57: Chapter 57 I Gave Her a Chance

Editor: Inschain

Lu Father looked at Qiao Yun, his stern expression mixed with a touch of warmth.

Upon seeing this, Lu Ting’s mood immediately sank, reminding herself even more that she couldn’t let this slip out.

She had to make her family understand that compared to worthless Qiao Yun, she was the most useful one.

Qiao Yun glanced at Lu Father and asked, “Are you very happy today?”

Lu Father was taken aback before praising, “You’re just like Qiaoqiao, observing so carefully. The project I mentioned to you yesterday has been successful.”

“That’s good.”

Pei Ya did a decent job and deserved some praise.

Without asking anything more, Qiao Yun turned her head, intending to go to the door to receive Li Miao.

Li Miao said she would come over for help with homework, and this was the first time a friend had come to visit her.

Qiao Yun felt a touch of nervousness.

Before she could leave, Lu Father continued, “Thanks to Tingting, this collaboration was able to go so smoothly.”

Qiao Yun’s eyebrows drew together slightly, her gaze landing on Lu Ting’s face, which bore a forced smile, and she said indifferently, “Oh?”

Lu Father explained, “It was Tingting’s classmate’s father who helped.”

“Really?” When Qiao Yun said this, she was looking at Lu Ting.

Lu Ting didn’t answer, and Lu Father did for her, “I already called to ask.”

Qiao Yun repeated the same question, “Really?”

Her eyes, dark and clear, seemed bottomless, staring in such a way that all lies seemed to have nowhere to hide.

Facing these eyes, Lu Ting felt an inexplicable nervousness, her palms began to sweat, and her heart was racing.

With a struggle against her guilt, she gave a positive answer, “Of course it’s true.”

It’s okay, no one will know you lied, this is known only to heaven, earth, me, and Jiang Huai.

She had already decided to make Jiang Huai keep silent about it and keep this matter to himself.

Qiao Yun’s eyelashes drooped, casting a shadow across her eyelids, and she said indifferently, “Oh, is that so.”

Lu Ting felt there was something off about Qiao Yun but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what it was. Faced with such questioning, she felt disdain in her heart.

She must be jealous that Lu Ting had the ability to help the family while she could only watch from the sidelines and feel inferior; that’s why she kept questioning.

Qiao Yun raised her eyebrow slightly, no longer looking at her, and walked towards the main door to wait for Li Miao.

As she waited for Li Miao, her distinct black and white eyes blinked, and she let out a casual “ah.”

She took out her phone and called Pei Ya.

“Boss? What can I do for you?”

Qiao Yun’s voice was flat, “Someone lied.”

“?” Pei Ya expressed confusion, “So what?”

“I gave her a chance, but she still lied,” Qiao Yun’s little face was serious.

Pei Ya, at a loss for words, replied, “So what if she lied, what’s that got to do with you, boss, mind your own business, it’s not like you to poke your nose into others’ affairs.”

“She said that the project I secured for the Lu Family, she was the one who made it happen.”

Pei Ya was instantly furious, “What the hell! Dare to steal your credit, I won’t let her get away with this.”

Qiao Yun responded expressionlessly, “You’re pretty double-standard.”

Pei Ya: “…”

“Leave this to me,” Pei Ya changed the subject.

Qiao Yun acknowledged with an “oh” and summed it up, “You handle it then.”

If it had been any other time, it might have been left at that, but Grandfather had said that family members should be honest with each other. Lu Ting being dishonest made her not a good family person.

She needed to be corrected.

After waiting a few minutes, Li Miao arrived by car.

After greeting the Lu Family, Qiao Yun led Li Miao upstairs.

“Your room is pretty girlish,” Li Miao said as she picked up a pink toy and squeezed it. “Qiaoqiao, you’ve got quite the girlish heart.”

Qiao Yun replied, “It was prepared by my mother.”

Li Miao put the toy back in its place and took out her homework while speaking, “Your family seems to treat you well, except Lu Ting is too bitchy.”

Qiao Yun considered the remark, thinking that ‘bitchy’ wasn’t a nice term, yet it unexpectedly fit Lu Ting well, so she nodded in agreement.

“Mhm.”
