Nor do I reject her! Everything I told my friends was true!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting’s face was streaked with tears as she squatted down, covering her face and sobbing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’m just scared, afraid that because my sister is back, you’ll stop loving me. I’m really scared, so I’ve always been restraining my behavior.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I admit some of my actions were wrong, but I was just too worried. Every day, I live in fear that you’ll start disliking me. After all, I’m not your biological child, but I’ve always treated this place as my home.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt so heartbroken. Her elder brother actually came to question her, and when she said these words, half of them were sincere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi had never seen Lu Ting have an emotional breakdown, nor had he ever known that she was so scared inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly felt a bit guilty for not having cared more for Lu Ting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Elder brother, I realize my mistake. On the day of my coming-of-age ceremony, mom bought such a beautiful dress for my sister, and I was jealous. That’s why I said in front of my friends that I wanted to move out. I regretted it afterward.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting raised her hand slightly, “If I couldn’t accept my sister, why would I keep wearing the bracelet?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi’s gaze fell on the two-dollar bracelet, his expression softened a bit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But that’s a separate issue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though it pained him, he still said sternly, “I hope this doesn’t happen a second time. You’re all part of the Lu Family, and you should be united when outside.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If it happens again, I can only send you to boarding school first, to ensure family harmony. Tingting, I hope it doesn’t come to that.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting looked up, her eyes filled with shock: “Are you going to abandon me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi suddenly felt an unpleasant sting in his heart: “I just want to tell you that if you have worries, you must tell me, so I can resolve these conflicts. You and Qiaoqiao are sisters, and I hope you can get along well.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He remembered when he was little, as soon as he returned, little Lu Ting would act coquettishly and ask for hugs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every time there was something delicious, she would bring it to him and sweetly say, ‘Elder brother, you eat first.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking back on these memories, Lu Jingzhi’s heart softened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting nodded pitifully: “I understand. As long as you don’t leave me behind, it’s okay.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi furrowed his brows. It seemed a conversation with his parents was in order, about treating Lu Ting and Qiao Yun equally.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although Lu Ting’s behavior was wrong, put in her place, he could still understand and felt pity for her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d been living in fear for so long, and he hadn’t noticed. He had failed in his responsibility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi stayed in the study for a long time, reflecting on his recent actions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly realized he had made many mistakes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d always thought that because Qiaoqiao came from the countryside, she might be inherently flawed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words were often critical of her, which is no wonder Qiao Yun had difficulty getting close to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought of the two times Qiao Yun had asked him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You don’t trust me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi reached this thought and didn’t know how to cope.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qiaoqiao hadn’t called him ‘elder brother’ even once until now. Perhaps she never would?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Jingzhi felt ashamed, almost fleeing the Lu Family in disgrace. He guessed it would be a while before he dared to face Qiao Yun again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>**\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting left the study, finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced at the bracelet. Thankfully, Lu Xue had warned her in advance, allowing her to be prepared. Otherwise, her carefully constructed persona might have collapsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Luckily, Lu Jingzhi’s genuine love for her made him relent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It seems that all of Qiao Yun’s good behavior is just an act, and now she’s learned to tattle, too\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since Qiao Yun came back, nothing has gone smoothly for her: she’s been blackmailed, publicly embarrassed, her birthday thunder stolen, and now even her elder brother harbors doubts about her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lu Ting’s eyes darkened as she mused that she couldn’t afford any slip-ups for a while.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Picking up her phone, she called Lu Xue.\u003C\u002Fp>",737,"2026-06-09T06:21:35.831Z",1,"novelbin.me","06d09436fb7237b6ea4076f76965dbecf4d60a25c390f127cd51741ca4865a9e","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-47","hidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-chapter-45",1090,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhidden-identities-of-the-ai-heiress-cover.jpg"]
