I wanted to follow her, but it seemed like she wasn’t very willing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, she sighed inwardly, feeling that Qiaoqiao still wasn’t close enough to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi’s face darkened instantly; so, he hadn’t been mistaken?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whose car was that? Was Qiaoqiao deceived?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing his troubled expression, Su Mian asked, “What’s with that face?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi hesitated before speaking, and after a long while, he evasively said, “I’m thinking about work matters.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian, uninterested, just gave an “Oh” and was about to turn around to watch her melodramatic TV drama when she heard Lu Jingzhi speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mom, you shouldn’t always indulge my sister. There are things you still need to manage.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian took a sip of chrysanthemum tea to cool herself down before responding leisurely, “Honestly, it might be better if you didn’t come back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi: “…?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only was he shunned by his sister, but now even his own mother was getting tired of him?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know what to say, muttering softly, “If only my sister could learn from Tingting.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian frowned slightly, wanting to say something, but felt that her authoritarian, strong-willed eldest son might not be receptive to her words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Qiaoqiao is quite well-behaved. I know that you care about her and want to treat her well, but you also need to consider whether your methods are suitable.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t worry, I know my limits.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi responded noncommittally and turned to go upstairs to get the documents.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian could tell that Lu Jingzhi wasn’t listening and sighed helplessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Qiao Yun first went missing, Su Mian’s heart nearly shattered, and despite searching for a long time, she couldn’t find her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, despite adopting Lu Ting for various reasons, she never gave up on looking for Qiao Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After finally finding her, her eldest son was always being overly concerned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian could understand Lu Jingzhi’s thoughts; after all, Qiao Yun hadn’t grown up by his side, so misunderstandings were inevitable. However, sometimes even she felt Lu Jingzhi was too prejudiced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to Lu Jingzhi’s hopes to see his sister succeed, Su Mian wished more for Qiao Yun to be happy and joyful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi went upstairs, and Lu Ting just happened to come out of her room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Lu Jingzhi, she froze for a moment, and then seemingly afraid he might notice something, she lowered her eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi glanced at her: “Are you sick? You look a bit pale. Did you call a doctor?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m not sick, just a bit tired,” Lu Ting said with a weak voice, betraying her nervousness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had intended to teach Qiao Yun a lesson and didn’t expect anything serious to happen to her—she just wanted to intimidate her a little and make her back off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But instead, the one leading the plan got taken away by the police, and his friends contacted her, demanding thirty thousand yuan in emotional damages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Otherwise, they threatened to expose her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting was terrified. She had never really done anything bad in her life, aside from a few petty schemings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her panic, she had no choice but to agree to pay.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about how her entire savings had been extorted, Lu Ting felt furious. That was her pocket money; how would she maintain her dignity outside without money?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t ask her parents for money, for fear of being questioned about where the money had gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi did not press the issue, but simply told her to take care of herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting nodded guiltily, not daring to meet Lu Jingzhi’s eyes, afraid of being discovered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She certainly didn’t want to be kicked out of the Lu Family. If anyone was to leave, it should be Qiao Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the delinquents who received compensation from Lu Ting nervously delivered the money to the mastermind behind the scenes.\u003C\u002Fp>",725,"2026-06-09T06:21:35.831Z",1,"novelbin.me","1ef82ed489a0e2c4e7b025d0f9511955faa009947ff9a4f8bc83d3fc34f231bf","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-20","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-18",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
