Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 343: Chapter 343 Did I Do Something Wrong Just Now?
 

Qiao Yun didn’t accept it and stated the fact to Lu Jingzhi, “I’m already full and can’t eat anymore.”

The hand holding the bag instantly tightened, and Lu Jingzhi’s complexion visibly turned ashen.

Su Mian and Lu Rui’s eyes brimmed with a thick sadness, but they wouldn’t interfere with Qiao Yun’s decision.

Seeing that they seemed somewhat unhappy, Qiao Yun added, “But still, thank you for your kindness.”

Lu Jingzhi’s heart ached severely due to Qiao Yun’s polite attitude.

In fact, Qiao Yun had always been very polite, but in the past, he wouldn’t think much of it. Now, after all these events, he couldn’t help but overthink.

After all, there was no need to say thank you to family members all the time.

Indeed, Qiao Yun had refused Lu Jingzhi because she really was full, but seeing them like this, she couldn’t help but reflect on herself—had she done something wrong?

The old lady was also distressed by the atmosphere and quickly tried to ease the situation, “Since Qiaoqiao can’t eat, then give it to me; your grandfather has never bought me a cake, the heartless man.”

The old master suddenly found himself under fire and retorted, “You old lady, spouting nonsense with your eyes open, have I bought you so little?”

The old lady shot back, “But you’ve never bought me a cake.”

The old master choked and then said, “Fine, fine, if you like it, I’ll buy it for you every day, 365 days a year, no repeats.”

The old lady immediately responded, “That’s what you said, I’m holding you to it, you all have to bear witness.”

“I’ll bear witness!” Lu Shiran was the most enthusiastic.

Old master: Disrespectful grandson.

However, thanks to the elder’s interjection, the heavy atmosphere at the dining table finally eased.

After dinner, the old lady looked at the sky and asked them, “You’ve all come, and it’s getting late, why not just stay over?”

Su Mian turned to Qiao Yun, “Qiaoqiao, will you stay?”

Qiao Yun explained, “Yeah, I promised grandma; I can’t go back on my word.”

Since Qiao Yun was staying, it was inconceivable for Lu Rui and the others to leave by themselves. After all that had happened, they didn’t want Qiao Yun out of their sight, fearing she might disappear again.

Afterward, the family chatted in the living room for a while.

Qiao Yun took the opportunity to pull Lu Zhanxing aside and asked him with a pleading look, “Did I do something wrong just now?”

“You did nothing wrong.”

Lu Zhanxing answered subconsciously.

In his heart, his sister could never do anything wrong, but he quickly realized what Qiao Yun was referring to.

With a mix of helplessness and amusement, he said, “The one who’s wrong is big brother. Who told him to misunderstand you all this time? Now he wants to make amends. If you want to forgive him, forgive him; if not, just ignore him.”

Qiao Yun thoughtfully said, “I understand.”

She couldn’t make the decision for the original owner to forgive or not forgive Lu Jingzhi, so she decided to maintain the status quo.

“However, I think big brother needs a lesson. Although sometimes his intentions are for our own good, he always fails to consider others’ feelings. That needs to change,” said Lu Zhanxing with a mischievous smile.

“Alright, let him change,” Qiao Yun nodded obediently.

Seeing how submissive Qiao Yun was, Lu Zhanxing became even happier, “Such a good girl.”

He wished he could take Qiao Yun out and show her off.

Look at how well-behaved my sister is, do you have one like her?

Meanwhile, the elders called Su Mian and Lu Rui to the study.

“Speak up, what exactly has happened?” the old master asked with a stern face.

“Nothing’s happened,” Lu Rui replied tiredly, certainly not looking like someone who had nothing wrong.

The old master scrutinized them closely—each one looked as if their parents were dead… Tsk tsk tsk, he was still very much alive.

“Still saying there’s nothing; you must be hiding something from me. Is it related to Qiaoqiao?”
