Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 322 - : What lifesaving grace? It’s all fake!

Chapter 322: Chapter 322: What lifesaving grace? It’s all fake!

Lu Ting abruptly stood up, her throat tight, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Having said that, she tried to leave.

But Ya Man knew that Lu Ting’s answer spoke volumes—she chose to turn a blind eye.

Watching Lu Ting’s retreating figure, she said, “Tingting, whenever you want to come back, mom will always welcome you.”

Lu Ting turned back to look at her, “Why didn’t you come to find me before, not until now?”

Ya Man observed the beautiful Lu Ting and said calmly, “Before, I didn’t have the means, but now I can take good care of you. With mom here, your future life will be better.”

...

Lu Ting didn’t closely consider her words as her mind was quite chaotic at the moment.

Seeing her expression wavering, Ya Man delivered a final blow, “There’s another thing. It wasn’t your dad who saved Jingzhi that year—it was your dad who arranged for someone to hit Jingzhi with a car.”

With a deafening boom,

Lu Ting felt as though lightning had struck the top of her head, causing her to feel dizzy and weak in her arms and legs.

“No, that can’t be, it can’t be possible, it can’t be…”

Ya Man sighed, “Your dad has always wanted to make amends with me. Every time he did something, he would tell me.”

It’d be true to say that Gu Ming really loved her tremendously.

All he did was in hopes of making himself more successful and winning her back.

To this day, she still kept the letters sent by Gu Ming. In each one, he would tell her to wait, saying he would soon make a lot of money for a better life for her.

Unfortunately, she had long lost feelings for Gu Ming.

Lu Ting was shaking all over, her face covered in cold sweat, “How could this be, why is it like this…”

Everything was a lie!

All lies!

The so-called life-saving grace, all fake!

What would her family do to her if they found out?

She had been cherished by her family, loved dearly by her elder brother.

It was because her biological father had saved her brother’s life—this was also why she was adopted by the Lu Family in the first place.

And now they were telling her that it was all false.

“Tingting, you have no choice now. If these things come out in the future, how will they treat you? Of course, you could choose to be honest with them, perhaps they will continue to accept you because you were honest.”

Lu Ting felt that Ya Man’s voice sounded like the devil’s.

She wondered why she had to be forced to make this choice.

She hadn’t done anything wrong!

But she didn’t dare to gamble.

When Lu Ting returned home, she found that her grandparents had actually come in person, which surprised her, “Grandpa, Grandma, what brings you here?”

Normally without any pressing issues, the elders seldom visited.

The elderly gentleman said earnestly, “Just thought it’s been a while, so we decided to come by.”

The elderly lady beside him laughed and revealed his true purpose, “Enough with the pretense, you clearly came to ask about Qiao An through Qiaoqiao. Your grandpa knows his favorite granddaughter is nurtured by an idol and couldn’t stay calm.”

The elderly gentleman said uncomfortably, “You old woman, not speaking doesn’t mean someone would think you’re mute. What nonsense are you talking in front of the younger ones.”

The elderly lady rolled her eyes, “Who doesn’t know your idol is Qiao An, there’s nothing to be shy about.”

The elderly gentleman: Cough cough…

Su Mian poked her head out from the small kitchen, “I thought it was Qiaoqiao that came back. Turns out it’s Tingting.”

Lu Ting forced a self-mocking smile, her voice faint, “I’ll go upstairs first.”

Once she had gone upstairs, Su Mian then asked Lu Rui beside her, “What’s up with Tingting? She seems a bit unhappy.”

“Might be having difficulty with her studies,” Lu Rui asked, “Qiaoqiao hasn’t returned yet?”

Su Mian, speechless, “Not yet. You weren’t this anxious before.”

Lu Rui touched his nose, “Well, I wanted to understand more about Qiaoqiao’s past life and also to inquire about Master Qiao.”

He hadn’t asked before because he thought Qiaoqiao had a tough childhood and feared that bringing it up might trigger unpleasant memories.

Now that he knew that Qiaoqiao’s past wasn’t as they imagined, he naturally felt bold enough to ask.

Lu Ting returned to her room, closed the door behind her, and slumped against the door panting.

Hands clutching her knees, lips tightly pressed together, her mind was full of how her parents doted on Qiaoqiao just before.

She suddenly found herself rather ridiculous.

Perhaps her parents’ love for her wasn’t genuine, but merely due to her biological father’s life-saving grace.

Without this factor, they might just want to get rid of her.

Lu Ting’s lips curved into a bitter smile, finally fully aware that truly no one loved her.

She also resolved to keep this matter tightly concealed.

After all these years, since they had never investigated, as long as she kept quiet, they would never suspect.

…

When Qiao Yun entered, she immediately felt the intense gaze of her family.

“Is there something on my face?”

Lu Family: “No, not at all.”

The elderly gentleman cleared his throat, “Granddaughter, does Old Master Qiao treat you well?”

Qiao Yun truthfully replied, “Very good.”

“Tell Grandma, what kind of person is Old Master Qiao?”

The elderly lady, knowing the old man was too embarrassed to ask, straightforwardly helped by inquiring about the life of his idol.

The elderly gentleman suddenly perked up, looking at Qiao Yun expectantly.

Qiao Yun kept it simple and clear, “Grandpa likes fishing.”

The elderly gentleman nodded, “Good, fishing is good for cultivating one’s character.”

Lu Rui chimed in, “Cultured, Master Qiao is surely a refined and scholarly gentleman.”

Qiao Yun added quietly, “Grandpa says, wild fish cost a few bucks more than farmed ones, refusing free money is stupid.”

The elderly gentleman: “…”

Lu Rui: “…”
