Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 212 - Qiao Yun: Was She Bullied?
Chapter 212: Chapter 212 Qiao Yun: Was She Bullied?
He didn’t start pushing Qiao Yun away because of Xun Minzhi’s threats, nor did he want her to dislike him because of that.
The Lu Family wouldn’t lose if they really went up against the Xun Family.
He had been trying to escape the Lu Family for a few years now, not wanting his family to notice that something was off with him.
Lu Zhanxing thought back to when Qiao Yun had just returned, and Xie Ying asked him why he didn’t go back to see her.
At the time, he had said he was afraid his bad temper would scare her.
That wasn’t just talk.
Xun Minzhi made him realize that he was still dangerous and that he shouldn’t be close to his family.
Lu Zhanxing regretted once again that he shouldn’t have allowed Qiao Yun to come.
Thinking about the way Qiao Yun had looked at him just before, Lu Zhanxing just felt a suffocation in his chest.
Lu Zhanxing, with ears perked, listened for any noise from outside while simultaneously contacting Xie Ying to have him terminate the contract with the company.
He couldn’t wait any longer.
After about fifteen minutes, the door opened again.
Lu Zhanxing breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that she hadn’t run away from home, and then there were three knocks on his own door.
He hesitated for a moment, but opened the door nonetheless.
Qiao Yun was not there, only a plastic bag hanging on the door handle.
Lu Zhanxing was stunned, opened it, and found it was iodine and other forms of medical ointment.
Qiao Yun had long noticed that Lu Zhanxing’s hand was injured, but his attitude made it hard for her to ask, so she had to buy the medicine for him on her own.
If you’re injured, you need to apply medicine to heal quickly.
Lu Zhanxing’s heart grew even more bitter; such a clever and sensible sister, yet he could not be close to her.
He treasured the medication and brought it into his room, dutifully applying it.
Suddenly, his cellphone rang.
Lu Zhanxing glanced at it; it was from an unsaved number, and he guessed who it might be. In the past, he would never have answered, but this time he did.
“Lu Zhanxing, what do you mean by this? You want to terminate the contract?”
Xun Minzhi’s voice, laden with anger, came from the receiver.
Lu Zhanxing sneered and retorted, “If the company can’t treat me fairly, why not terminate the contract?”
“It’s because of her! Are you terminating the contract for her? You like her that much!”
Lu Zhanxing frowned, “My decision to terminate the contract has nothing to do with anyone else.”
Hearing the resolve in Lu Zhanxing’s voice, Xun Minzhi dropped a harsh threat, “Fine! Just don’t regret it!”
Lu Zhanxing didn’t want to talk to her, so he hung up directly.

Qiao Yun returned to her room and thought for a while before asking someone to check Lu Zhanxing’s schedule from yesterday.
He was injured. Had he been bullied?
The investigation results came quickly.
Yesterday, Lu Zhanxing had signed a contract for an endorsement deal, then went out to eat, afterward heading straight to a hotel and not coming out until today.
The schedule was simple, but Qiao Yun took note of the person Xun Minzhi.
Lu Zhanxing met with Xun Minzhi and then went straight to the hotel, never leaving after that.

She reasonably guessed that Lu Zhanxing’s injury was self-inflicted.
But why would he injure himself?
Qiao Yun didn’t understand and could only ask for further investigation.
Throughout that day,
Lu Zhanxing stayed in his room, seemingly not wanting to see Qiao Yun.
Without understanding why Lu Zhanxing’s attitude had changed, Qiao Yun didn’t approach him either.
By noon, she personally cooked a meal.
Although Lu Zhanxing wanted Qiao Yun to dislike him, he wouldn’t let her go hungry.
As he was about to come out to cook, he found that the dining table was already set with dishes, and there was a note left behind.
“Eat well.”
Lu Zhanxing stared at the note for a long while before putting it in his pocket, treasuring it.
He picked up the chopsticks and ate silently.
Feeling a warmth around his eyes, he found his sensible sister’s understanding truly heart-wrenching.
He was not a good brother.
The two of them were as distant as strangers, as if the warm moments from a few days ago were just a dream.
