Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 106: Chapter 106 This is Lying
 

After Lu Jingzhi left, Lu Ting still felt uneasy and made another call to Jiang Huai.

Jiang Huai was somewhat flattered. Could it be that his goddess actually cared about him this much?

“Jiang Huai, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”

“What is it?”

“Do you remember when I asked for your help, about Tenghui’s cooperation with our family company?”

“I remember, what’s up?”

Lu Ting spoke hesitantly, “At that time, you told me you took care of it, so I told my dad.”

As she spoke, she paused, seemingly finding it hard to broach the subject.

“Today my dad told me the contract was signed, thinking it was my doing, but I had nothing to do with this matter. Now, with such a misunderstanding, I don’t know how to explain it without making my family suspect that I’m claiming credit for a project I had no involvement in?”

Scratching his head, Jiang Huai said, “It was indeed my fault for not clarifying and telling you that my dad helped, you should just explain the situation to your family directly.”

“But…”

Lu Ting gently persuaded, “When you later told me it was a misunderstanding, I wanted to clear things up with my dad. However, he’s been too busy, and I never found the chance to tell him. I’m afraid that they…”

She trailed off, and this time, Jiang Huai understood.

“Don’t worry, I’ll keep it a secret. If anyone asks, I’ll say you didn’t know, because I didn’t explain it clearly to you.”

He felt responsible for the misunderstanding that occurred because of him.

Relieved, Lu Ting spoke uncomfortably, “How can that be okay? That would be lying.”

“No one else knows anyway, just you and me. I just want to help you. If this issue causes your family to misunderstand you, I’d feel unhappy too,” he said.

Thinking that he could help the person he liked made Jiang Huai a little happy.

Now completely reassured, Lu Ting chatted a bit more with Jiang Huai before ending the call, knowing as long as Jiang Huai didn’t admit that she knew about the project beforehand, she could muddle through the situation.

After hanging up, Jiang Huai’s face was still rippling with a silly grin: Hehehe…

“What’s this ‘you know and I know’? What mischief are you planning to make now, cousin?”

A voice suddenly came from behind, startling Jiang Huai. When he turned around, he saw Yu Jin looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Jiang Huai: “…”

This is it.

Lu Jingzhi opened the document and his expression turned icy and grim upon seeing that Lu Xue was the poster.

Why was it Lu Xue stirring up trouble again? Why did she always have to oppose Qiaoqiao?

Lu Jingzhi closed the document and knocked on Lu Rui’s door, explaining the situation to him.

Lu Rui was silent for a long time before asking, “Tingting, she made the call in front of you?”

Lu Jingzhi replied, “Yes.”

“What do you think?” Lu Rui looked at him.

Lu Jingzhi was somewhat perplexed, “So this has nothing to do with Tingting. She was deceived by a classmate; otherwise, how could she dare to actually call her classmate?”

Lu Rui then asked, “What’s your take on Lu Xue’s actions?”

“It’s definitely fabricated,” Lu Jingzhi said with certainty.

Lu Rui shook his head, “Why would she dare to fabricate such a lie? Where does she get such confidence?”

Although the eldest was very successful in business, he always seemed to be a bit naive when it came to matters involving family.

Lu Rui knew that Lu Jingzhi trusted Lu Ting a lot, which is why he readily believed her. But without clear evidence, he couldn’t draw conclusions.

“Dad, what do you mean by that?” Lu Jingzhi was puzzled.

Intuitively, Lu Rui told Lu Jingzhi, “I think there might be other things we don’t know about.”
