Chapter 109: Chapter 109: Questioning (3)
Why did Lu Xue guess in that direction? What gave her the illusion?
He turned his head to look at Lu Ting and asked her, “What’s your classmate’s phone number? I want to personally call and thank him.”
“Okay.” Lu Ting took out her phone and made the call.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om
This time she did not feel guilty at all, after all, she had already agreed with Jiang Huai, so she definitely wouldn’t be exposed.
Seeing her so straightforward, Jingzhi’s doubts were somewhat relieved.
The call was quickly answered.
“Hello.”
The voice was much more mature than yesterday, belonging to an adult man.
Jingzhi asked, “Hello, I am looking for Student Jiang.”
“He’s not available. What do you need?”
The person on the line was Yu Jin, who glanced at the call ID, seemed to realize something, and asked him, “Are you Jingzhi?”
“It’s me.” Jingzhi was a bit surprised.
Yu Jin got straight to the point, “Actually, I was looking for you too.”
Jingzhi paused, “What’s the matter?”
“It’s nothing big, just asking you to take care of your sister. Don’t let her go around asking people to lie for her, isn’t that teaching bad habits?”
Jingzhi subconsciously asked, “Which sister?”
Yu Jin almost laughed from irritation, was this questioning Qiaoqiao, the professor?
His tone was a bit harsh, “Which other sister do you have that gets along well with my cousin? I heard she’s also the class monitor. How did she become the class monitor, encouraging classmates to lie for her…”
What Yu Jin continued to say hit Jingzhi like a blow to the head.
Jingzhi’s mind was filled with Yu Jin’s words.
Lu Ting lied, and not just lied, she had others lie for her too!
He had repeatedly regained his trust in Lu Ting, only for outsiders to harshly burst that bubble.
Perhaps he had always suspected Lu Ting was lying, but he didn’t want to believe it, didn’t want to disrupt the peace within the family.
Although he felt sorry for Qiaoqiao, he couldn’t deny that he had thought of letting it go, pretending it never happened.
Now that he knew the project was Qiaoqiao’s contribution, there was no need to further investigate Tingting.
But when faced with the truth, he realized that what he always saw was Tingting’s perfect side, never knowing she could lie, expertly manipulating him completely.
He hung up the phone, looked at Lu Ting with a somewhat bitter voice, and asked, “Tingting, may I ask you something?”
“What is it?”
Lu Ting looked at him with clear eyes.
Jingzhi slowly asked, “In a family, is it acceptable to lie?”
Lu Ting naturally shook her head, “Parents have always taught us not to lie to family. Family must trust each other and there should be no secrets.”
After hearing Lu Ting’s response, Jingzhi laughed mockingly and suddenly didn’t know what to say.
He didn’t rush to ask, or perhaps didn’t know how to ask.
Lu Ting’s beautiful face was full of confusion, a sense of unease growing in her heart. Did Jiang Huai really cover up her lie?
Why did her brother look so strange?
She kept telling herself, it’s okay, even if the lie is exposed, they are family, what can they really do to her?
But she didn’t want things to reach this stage, she wanted to remain flawless, more outstanding and faultless than Qiao Yun.
Upon returning home, Jingzhi went upstairs first, heading straight to Qiao Yun’s room.
He gently knocked on the door before pushing it open and entering.
Seeing Jingzhi, a faint uncertainty appeared in Qiao Yun’s bright eyes.
Was Jingzhi’s illness not yet cured?
Why was his attitude towards her so strange these past few days?
