Chapter 257: Chapter 257: Whose Words are the Truth?
Lu Shiran said indifferently, “Anyway, it’s no use to me; I was going to throw it away, you’ve never seen this type before, have you?”
The elderly lady chuckled, “Who said that? It took over half a year to research. How could you just throw it away?”
Lu Shiran’s face turned red with embarrassment, “Wha, what, no, I can make one of these in minutes.”
Qiao Yun, holding the ‘little gadget,’ her eyes shining and voice soft, said, “Thank you.”
She knew better than anyone that for Lu Shiran to make this small robot, he must have overcome many difficulties.
And now he was giving her something so precious.
...
Although Qiao Yun was still unclear whether she was liked or disliked.
She thought about it and decided to also give Lu Shiran a gift.
Lu Shiran, his face turning even redder, argued with them, “I told you it was supposed to be thrown away, why don’t you believe me?”
“Shiran has a talent in this field, and he can consider applying for aerospace studies in college to contribute to the country in the future,” the old grandfather said proudly, causing a lively scene.
Qiao Yun nodded in agreement.
She also thought that Lu Shiran could develop towards scientific research.
“Dad, there are still many months before the college entrance examination; there is no rush,” Qin Huan gritted her teeth internally.
She wanted Lu Shiran to study finance, so that he could take over from the old man in the future.
But she was also aware that the successor the old man favored was Lu Jingzhi, whom he had always been grooming!
Most of the theories about fighting for the family inheritance that Qin Huan had indoctrinated were in one ear and out the other for Lu Shiran.
This time was no different.
He completely ignored his own mother’s words and said to Qiao Yun, “Let’s make a bet. If I lose in the next midterm exam, you’ll be my big sister. If I win… I’ll let you know later.”
Qiao Yun didn’t even have a chance to decline before Lu Shiran, who had unilaterally declared the bet, had scurried off.
“Shiran, his temperament hasn’t changed at all,” Su Mian said to Qiao Yun. “Your cousin really likes you.”
Qiao Yun sat obediently, her face puzzled: honestly, she couldn’t tell.
With Lu Shiran’s antics gone, the adults began discussing business matters.
Qin Huan was tasked by the elderly lady to go to the kitchen to cut fruit.
Qiao Yun found their conversation uninteresting and spaced out.
Lu Ting sat for a while, found it boring, and then used the excuse of helping Qin Huan with the snacks to slip out for a walk.
Qin Huan and Aunt Lin were preparing snacks in the small kitchen.
Qin Huan discontentedly said to Aunt Lin, “What was that earlier, afraid Su Mian didn’t know you had a guilty conscience?”
“Madam, I… I just feel like the young miss somehow knows something,” Aunt Lin said with a bitter expression.
“What does she know? She was only three years old; what could she remember?”
“What if she does? Maybe she’s pretending not to know.”
“Don’t scare yourself,” Qin Huan soothed in a lowered voice.
“Even if she really remembers, it doesn’t matter. She has no evidence that you deliberately lost her that year. As long as you don’t say anything, I don’t say anything, no one will ever know.”

“I, I understand,” Aunt Lin responded.
Aunt Lin had not had an easy life these years, especially now that Qiao Yun had returned, causing her to have nightmares every night.
If it weren’t for Qin Huan having something on her, she would never have done such a heartless thing.
Today, angered by Su Mian and Qiao Yun, Qin Huan couldn’t help but complain, “It’s all Gu Ming’s fault, that scoundrel, daring to deceive me, otherwise I wouldn’t need to be so afraid…”
Lu Ting, hiding at the doorway of the small kitchen, covered her mouth nervously, her heart pounding.
Previously, Ya Man had told her that it was the Lu Family who had caused the death of her biological father.
Su Mian said that her biological father had jumped off a building because he couldn’t repay his debts after his company went bankrupt.
Now, why was she hearing her father’s name from Qin Huan’s mouth, and why did it seem to be related to Qiao Yun’s disappearance?
Lu Ting was completely confused; whose words were actually true?
