Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 107: Chapter 107 Interrogation (1)

Lu Jingzhi felt somewhat discontented inside; the facts were right in front of his eyes, so why did everyone keep doubting Tingting?

“There’s no need for Tingting to lie. As soon as we sign the contract, we’ll run into her classmate’s father, and the truth will inevitably come out. Why would she tell such an easily exposed lie?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Rui deeply furrowed his brow, reminding him, “You’re too subjective. Haven’t you noticed that from the beginning you’ve assumed that Tingting wouldn’t lie, and all your thoughts stem from that point? I’m not conclusively saying that Tingting is lying. I just want an accurate truth to provide closure for Qiaoqiao.”

“Do you believe that because your mom and I lost so many years with Qiaoqiao, we’re more biased towards her in everything and don’t care about Tingting?”

Lu Jingzhi was taken aback and couldn’t muster a defense. He had indeed thought this before and even warned his parents not to be too partial.

Lu Rui asked him, “Why would you think that?”

He had wanted to ask this before. He believed that he showed the same amount of love to each child, no matter who it was.

Lu Jingzhi hesitated. Why did he think this way, and when had it started…?

He didn’t delve deeper; it seemed the more he thought about it, the more certain facts would confront him.

“I will investigate these matters thoroughly.”

Lu Jingzhi resolved to find evidence to prove Tingting’s innocence.

In the bedroom, just as Qiao Yun opened her computer, she received a WeChat notification.

[Professor Qiao, hello, this is Yu Jin. I’m sorry for disturbing you late at night. I would like to ask about the Lu Family and Tenghui’s project. Was it facilitated by you?]

The message was exceptionally formal, tinged with carefulness and a hint of timidity.

Qiao Yun didn’t know that Yu Jin had deleted and edited this message multiple times, hesitating for several hours before feeling satisfied.

She feared that one wrong word would bring a thousand nightmares once again.

Qiao Yun only replied with a simple: [Hmm.]

Then…

There was no then—the other side went silent.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Qiao Yun tilted her head, her clear black-and-white eyes filled with confusion. Why weren’t they replying to her message?

Was she too cold?

She pursed her lips and stared at her phone for a long time before eventually setting it down and getting back to typing on her computer.

An hour later, Yu Jin’s message finally arrived.

[Okay, I’ve got it, I’m very sorry for disturbing your rest.]

Qiao Yun: “…”

Was this what they called “killing the conversation with silence”?

How do people even chat?

After much thought, Qiao Yun decided to give up on communicating with others.

Sigh, being a person is hard.

Meanwhile, Yu Jin breathed a sigh of relief in his mind.

So scary, Professor Qiao is so scary!

But, as always, Professor Qiao was generous, giving away a project worth several hundred million just like that.

It was good that he found out early, otherwise Jiang Huai, that fool, would have offended Professor Qiao again.

The next day, Lu Jingzhi wasn’t working. He planned to go to Lu Xue’s house to inquire about the forum matter.

As he passed by Lu Ting’s room, he hesitated and then decided to knock on her door.

“Big brother? Is something the matter?” Lu Ting asked with puzzlement.

“I’m going to Lu Xue’s house. Do you want to come with me?” Lu Jingzhi didn’t disclose his purpose.

With a confused look, Lu Ting never refused Lu Jingzhi and was almost always agreeable to his requests. She nodded and said, “Okay.”

Lu Jingzhi didn’t have another motive; he just felt that since Lu Ting and Lu Xue were good friends and Lu Xue had displayed improper conduct, he should take Lu Ting with him. It was to help her see Lu Xue’s true colors, so she would interact less with Lu Xue in the future.
