Miss Lu Turned Her Back, Her Six Brothers Begged for Forgiveness - Chapter 94:

Chapter 94: Can’t Let the Lu Family Know Her Father Is Still Alive

Qin Xiang quickly put her phone away, “It’s just a pushed video, not someone messaging me.”

She couldn’t let the Lu family find out.

Back then, it was only because she was an orphan that the Lu family took her in.

Besides, there had to be hidden reasons why her father was still alive.

Qin Xiang had a very bad feeling.

She immediately changed the subject, “Why are you back? Is Second Brother feeling better?”

“He’s better now.”

Lu Liu retracted his hand, “Earlier, you mentioned in your live stream that Second Brother fell ill. How did Lu Ning react?”

Qin Xiang sighed, “She seemed even angrier, blaming me for mentioning it publicly.”

She had done it on purpose, using public moral pressure to make Lu Ning not even want to return.

“Don’t blame yourself. Lu Ning has changed.”

Lu Liu glanced around the bedroom, hesitating before saying, “Xiang Xiang, the room you’re staying in is a bit small. I was thinking of renovating the guest room for you. But this bedroom… we should give it back to Lu Ning. What do you think?”

Qin Xiang’s face froze.

She hadn’t expected Lu Liu to bring this up.

She had moved into Lu Ning’s bedroom and treated it as her own all along.

She had never thought about moving out!

And since Lu Ning had already said she was cutting ties with the Lu family, Qin Xiang thought she was now the only heiress, deserving the largest room.

But Lu Liu wanted her to move?

Lu Liu awkwardly added, “Xiang Xiang, don’t think too much. I mean no harm. It’s just that Lu Ning has been throwing tantrums. We should return her things to her.”

When Lu Ning said they were cutting ties, it was like a slap to his face.

He reflected on how he had treated Lu Ning and Qin Xiang differently. Now he needed to learn to be fair—Lu Ning cared about these things.

He had to change.

“Sixth Brother, what are you saying? How could I think too much? This room was Lu Ning’s to begin with. It’s only right to give it back.”

Qin Xiang forced a kind and understanding smile.

But deep down, she hated Lu Ning to the bone.

Lu Liu immediately breathed a sigh of relief, “I knew you’d understand. Lu Ning’s temper is nasty—we have to cater to her now. Don’t worry, I’ll make sure you’re not treated unfairly.”

“I know.”

“Oh, and about the jewelry and accessories Lu Ning left temporarily with you, make sure you gather them up and return them to her when she comes back.”

Qin Xiang almost couldn’t keep her smile.

She could accept moving out of the room, but giving back the jewelry and accessories she already considered hers? It made her feel like her flesh was being sliced away.

Her eyes reddened instantly, “Sixth Brother, I know the jewelry was only left with me temporarily, but I wore it to salon events. If I show up at future events without anything, won’t the media gossip?”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get you a few new pieces.”

“Alright then. Thank you, Sixth Brother.”

Although Qin Xiang was reluctant, she had to put on a good front.

Seeing her so agreeable, Lu Liu sighed, “If only Lu Ning were as understanding as you.”

Things wouldn’t be such a mess now.

A flash of ridicule appeared in Qin Xiang’s eyes. The only reason she acted so obedient was to win over her brothers.

No one knew how much humiliation she had endured.

After Lu Liu left, Qin Xiang’s expression darkened.

She had thought she was already on par with Lu Ning.

Reality had slapped her hard.

Her phone buzzed with another message: [Xiang Xiang, no matter how much you pretend, you’re not the real Lu family heiress. We’re your real family!]

Hatred filled Qin Xiang’s eyes.

Yes, she had schemed for years, treating the Lu brothers as her real brothers.

And what did she get?

She could never compare to Lu Ning, their real sister!

Qin Xiang finally picked up her phone and opened the earlier message. Maybe it was time to plan for her own future.

If Lu Ning returned, she would have no place left!

…

The next few days went smoothly for Lu Ning. She gamed online every day.

But then she got a call from the Education Bureau, “Are you Lu Ning? We’re from the Education Bureau. Many people have reported that you cheated during the exams. We need to investigate your results. Please come to the school and cooperate with us.”

Cheating?

Lu Ning hung up and almost laughed.

She didn’t even need to guess who reported her.

In this world, only one person was jealous enough—Qin Xiang.

But she wasn’t worried. She hadn’t cheated.

Before leaving, she glanced at the empty apartment. Ji Chiqian and Gu Zifeng were busy with work at the company these days.

The small game program she had helped develop was also about to launch.

After thinking for a moment, she decided not to bother Ji Chiqian and took a taxi to school herself. She could handle this.

When she arrived, the principal and homeroom teacher were already there.

A middle-aged man sitting on the sofa said, “You’re Lu Ning, right? I’m the officer in charge of investigating the exam results. I need to ask you a few questions.”

“Sure.”

Lu Ning was calm.

The homeroom teacher added, “Lu Ning’s final results improved a lot, but her previous grades were good too. It’s not impossible she had a breakthrough. We believe in her strength and aren’t afraid to have her papers checked.”

“The exam papers are being reviewed. We’ll investigate fairly and justly.”

After the questions, Lu Ning asked, “Who reported me?”

“That’s confidential. That’s all for today. We’ll discuss further after reviewing everything.”

The homeroom teacher anxiously said, “Lu Ning really didn’t cheat. Maybe let her take another real exam to prove her ability?”

Lu Ning was touched. At least her teacher trusted her.

The principal calmly said, “Lu Ning, don’t worry. A clean hand needs no washing.”

Lu Ning nodded, “I know. I’m not afraid.”

“Good. You can go back and wait for updates.”

After she left, the principal called someone, “Young Master Ji, there’s something you should know.”

After hearing the principal’s report, Ji Chiqian paused his meeting and walked out alone.

He stared coldly at the bustling CBD outside, “She went to school?”

“Yes, to cooperate with the investigation. The person who reported her also accused me of giving her faulty stationery to help her cheat.”

“Ridiculous.”

Ji Chiqian knew better than anyone about the real situation. Lu Ning didn’t need to cheat.

Tapping the glass lightly, his eyes darkened, “Understood.”

After hanging up, a sinister smile appeared on Ji Chiqian’s lips.

Gu Zifeng came out of the meeting room, “Hey hey hey, why that creepy smile? What call was it?”

“Someone reported Lu Ning for cheating.”

“Damn, who’s that shameless?”

Ji Chiqian’s brows were frosty, “Some people really think they can get away with anything. Investigate who reported her and pull the exam room footage for the Lu family’s adopted daughter.”

He remembered Lu Ning mentioning that Qin Xiang often cheated during exams.

People who usually relied on cheating would likely try it during the final exams too.

Since they dared to reach out this far, he’d personally chop off their claws.

…

When Lu Ning returned to the apartment, she was distracted.

She knew it was Qin Xiang’s doing.

Such disgusting tactics made her sick.

After thinking for a while, she called the tip-off line herself, “I want to report someone for cheating during the exams.”

Fighting fire with fire.

Although she wasn’t sure if the white lotus had cheated, considering Qin Xiang’s usual habit of cheating, there was a good chance she had pulled something during the finals too.

Even if not, she wanted to disgust her.

While out shopping, Lu Ning spotted a familiar car parked on the roadside.

She quickened her pace, pretending not to see it.

“Lu Ning, don’t go. Hear me out!”

Lu Liu hurried over, “Big Brother is back. Hurry and come home to apologize, or you’re dead meat!”
