Could it be that Qiao Yun knew something!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting was fraught with anxiety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible, who could link a bunch of thugs with the young Miss of the Lu Family?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It must be her overthinking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her inner reassurances, Lu Ting couldn’t help but continuously fidget with her fingers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Mian showed concern, “Are you hungry?

Big brother, you’re too biased.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi was speechless, thinking her acting was too exaggerated and he didn’t pay her any attention, instead turning to ask Qiao Yun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you like it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiao Yun’s eyelashes fluttered downward, and her lips pursed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a dozen seconds, she reached out to take the bag and said softly, “Thank you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi smiled; it seemed giving gifts never grew old and he felt that his relationship with his own sister might have gotten a tiny bit closer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The act of Lu Jingzhi giving Qiao Yun a gift was like a needle piercing directly into Lu Ting’s heart, filling her with both hatred and anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had Qiao Yun stolen her parents’ attention, but was she now trying to take away her big brother’s concern as well?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A faint light shone in Qiao Yun’s eyes as she was about to see what the gift in the bag was when Lu Jingzhi tentatively asked her.\u003C\u002Fp>",727,"2026-06-09T06:21:35.831Z",1,"novelbin.me","342a37d0d979f7d9cc0755d9d1299f3210803a7249fadd16f633f7b8a463b641","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-26","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-24",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
