Hidden identities of the AI Heiress
Chapter 539 - Chapter 539 Chapter 539 Can You Call Me Brother

Chapter 539: Chapter 539 Can You Call Me Brother? Chapter 539: Chapter 539 Can You Call Me Brother? “Dad, Mom,” Lu Zhanxing said slowly, “have you ever felt that these events are just too coincidental? Why did her first love just happen to reappear at this time?”

“Ah? Really?” Su Mian hadn’t noticed and waved her hand, “It must be a coincidence, if it weren’t for this first love showing your uncle her true nature, I guess she’d still be tormenting him now.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhanxing smiled and said nothing more.

He had a suspicion in his heart.

This matter might be related to his elder brother.

Earlier, when his brother was on the phone, he had vaguely heard Ye Miaoshan’s name.

Lu Zhanxing thought to himself that his brother hadn’t really changed, still the same brother who, for the sake of family, would use any means necessary, it’s just that his previous way of interacting with his sister had been terribly wrong.

Well, serves him right, now he’s suffering.

…

“Mr. Lu, everything is arranged, this time she will completely break down.”

“Good,” Lu Jingzhi said, “Same as usual, the money will be transferred into the previous account.”

“Okay, thanks for your patronage, remember to let me know if you have such good opportunities again, I guarantee your satisfaction.”

The person on the other end of the line hung up beaming with pleasure.

Lu Jingzhi put away his phone, turned around, and immediately froze.

Qiao Yun was staring at him with a bland expression, no emotion in her eyes, seemingly just watching him.

A moment of panic unexpectedly surged through Lu Jingzhi’s heart, his hand clenched tightly around his phone, his face returned to normal, and he smiled and asked, “Sister, what are you doing out here? It’s cold, quickly go back inside.”

He had had very little interaction with Qiao Yun lately, let alone times when they were alone like this, which were virtually nonexistent.

Which left him somewhat at a loss.

Under Lu Jingzhi’s uncomfortable demeanor, Qiao Yun asked unhurriedly, “The matter with Ye Miaoshan, it was you.”

She spoke with certainty.

Lu Jingzhi’s breathing caught, not knowing how Qiao Yun had found out, but he admitted, “Yes, I brought back her first love, and I had him seduce her.”

He didn’t dare meet Qiao Yun’s gaze, and before she could speak, he disclosed everything himself.

“Only by completely breaking uncle’s soft heart towards her could she be taught a lesson, cornered with nowhere to go.”

Qiao Yun was aware of these things, as Ye Miaoshan had endangered her, so without her needing to speak, Zhou You would naturally have someone monitor Ye Miaoshan.

This included investigating the people who appeared around Ye Miaoshan.

Qiao Yun, looking at Lu Jingzhi with his head bowed, asked, “Did you do this for me?”

“You are my sister, it’s right for a brother to stand up for you,” Lu Jingzhi coughed lightly, somewhat embarrassed being confronted directly.

Qiao Yun responded with a faint, “Thank you.”

The word “thank you” troubled Lu Jingzhi. He didn’t want Qiao Yun to thank him; he just wanted her to sincerely call him “brother.”

“Do you think I went too far?”

Fearing his sister might misunderstand him, he hurriedly explained, “Brother only does this to the bad people who harm our family, I’m not like this normally.”

Qiao Yun bluntly said, “If she doesn’t learn her lesson, she dares.”

It was because Lu Jingzhi had first taken action to teach Ye Miaoshan a lesson that Qiao Yun had not done so herself.

Lu Jingzhi’s heart felt a hint of bitterness.

Qiao Yun didn’t understand worldly affairs, but being too clever, she saw human nature very clearly.

He felt ashamed of the prejudice he had harbored against her when she had first returned.

Qiao Yun, with such a clear understanding, must have discerned from their first meeting how he verbally claimed impartiality but was unconsciously biased between Lu Ting and her.

Even to this day, Qiao Yun had not yet called him “brother,” and it was his own doing.

Despite all this…

Lu Jingzhi took a deep breath and cautiously ventured, “Sister, could you call me ‘brother’?”

After he finished speaking, silence fell around them.

Lu Jingzhi’s body stiffened as if awaiting a death sentence, and he did not know how long it had been before he heard Qiao Yun’s voice.

Lu Jingzhi’s shoulders slumped as he lifted his head, “I don’t want to…”

“…”

His expression froze.

Qiao Yun was no longer in sight.

At some point, Qiao Yun had already left.

Lu Jingzhi: “……”

At that moment, he felt like banging his head against a wall.

…

When Qiao Yun returned to the living room, they had already stopped talking about Ye Miaoshan.

Su Mian was just about to ask Qiao Yun to come over for some milk when her phone rang.

Su Mian answered it first, “Hello, who is this?”

“Hello, this is Hill Music Academy, and we are currently short of a violin teacher. I was wondering if you would be interested in becoming our guest teacher?”

Su Mian was stunned, “You said, who are you? Which academy!?”

“Hill Music Academy.”

Su Mian gasped.

Was she dreaming?

That was Hill Music Academy, which had produced many musicians! It even had a reputation internationally.

Su Mian felt a bit dizzy.

It felt like this kind of thing was light-years away from her, something that would never be related to her in this lifetime, and suddenly it just…

She asked in disbelief, “You haven’t got the wrong person, have you?”

“Ms. Su Mian, there is no mistake, we are looking for you. The school has seen your previous performances, and both your skills and personality fit our requirements.”

“But, I, it’s been a long time since I’ve played, I’m afraid it might be difficult to meet the demands,” Su Mian said, somewhat bewildered.

Su Mian’s unusual behavior also caught the attention of the family, even Lu Jingzhi, who had returned disheartened, looked at Su Mian inquiringly.

“You might want to consider it, our academy is really looking forward to your arrival.”

Su Mian hung up the phone with a strange look on her face. After a while, she suddenly grabbed Lu Rui’s arm and exclaimed, “Old Lu! Am I dreaming? Hill Music Academy actually wants to hire me as a guest teacher? That’s the school I’ve dreamt of attending! Remember I didn’t make it back then.”

Lu Rui was stunned too.

He certainly remembered that incident. Back then, Su Mian had been so upset for a long time that he had taken her to look at the stars and the moon to cheer her up.

“This is your dream coming true; this is a good thing,” Lu Rui said, happy for her.

Lu Zhanxing laughed, “Mom, don’t think I haven’t noticed. These last few days when you had nothing else to do, you would wipe your violin. Now isn’t this just perfect? After all, we’ve grown up, and you can do what you like.”

Last time’s concert seemed to have reminded Su Mian of the past.

Su Mian looked bewildered, “I’ve been out of the scene for so long, how did such good fortune suddenly fall upon me?”

Hearing Su Mian say this.

Lu Zhanxing subconsciously looked at Qiao Yun.

Lu Jingzhi paused, then also looked over.

When Lu Rui saw both sons directing their gazes toward Qiao Yun, he felt a thump in his heart and quickly followed their looks with disbelief on his face.

Qiao Yun, who was sipping milk slowly, met their gazes and blinked innocently.

In a soft, pleasant voice, she asked, “Is there a problem?”

Lu Zhanxing, Lu Jingzhi, Lu Rui: There’s a huge problem!
