Chapter 457 -457: What do I need to do for you to let me go?

Lu Zhanxing asked, “Then why didn’t you tell me someone was giving you trouble?”

Qiao Yun continued to deny it, “Nobody was giving me trouble.”

“You’re still lying to me.”

Lu Zhanxing reminded her, “On Christmas Day, didn’t someone give you trouble, and didn’t brother tell you to notify him immediately if something happened?”

Qiao Yun quickly understood that it must have been Su Qingyan who told Lu Zhanxing.

Calmly, she explained, “It was something I could handle by myself, I didn’t want to bother you.”

Hearing her words, Lu Zhanxing felt no joy, but rather more distress.

She was only a teenager, still carefree, at the age to act spoiled with her parents.

The age where one instinctively turns to family when encountering trouble.

But she always dealt with it alone, not wanting to trouble her family.

Her independence, in fact, was what made him feel heartache.

This also proved indirectly.

That when she faced problems before her return, she dealt with them on her own.

No one was there to offer her support when she needed it.

Lu Zhanxing had noticed this long ago.

The matter with Lu Ting and Qin Huan, his sister gathered all the evidence before presenting the truth to them.

She didn’t say anything to them during that time.

No matter how strong she was, he still wished she would rely on them a little.

Lu Zhanxing gathered his emotions and said to Qiao Yun with a downcast head, “I’m sorry, brother hasn’t been good enough.”

“No, you’ve been great,” Qiao Yun said curiously, looking at him.

Why apologize out of the blue?

Lu Zhanxing expressed his regret, “I wasn’t good. When I brought you back, I didn’t go to see you right away. I didn’t stand up for you when you were treated unfairly. Before I met you, I even thought a sister was nothing but a nuisance.”

It was half a year after Qiao Yun was found that she returned home.

During that time, he hadn’t shown concern for Qiao Yun, even a little bit.

Even her return hadn’t stirred any feelings in him.

Qiao Yun reassured him, “It doesn’t matter, we think alike.”

She even viewed coming home as a task to complete.

Lu Zhanxing, looking into Qiao Yun’s clear, clean eyes, said somewhat uneasily, “And what are your thoughts now?”

“You are family,” Qiao Yun told him firmly.

Lu Zhanxing instantly smiled, the clouds in his heart clearing away, “Family is there to be relied upon. Next time, no matter what happens, will you come to bother your brother?”

He didn’t want his sister to be independent; he wanted to pamper her, to be her shelter from the storm.

After a moment of thought, Qiao Yun nodded, “Okay, next time someone gives me trouble, I’ll tell you.”

She was accustomed to not troubling others.

But since Lu Zhanxing was upset about it, she was also willing to placate him and make him happy.

Lu Zhanxing knew Qiao Yun would do as she said, and some habits can’t be changed overnight.

He would gradually change his sister.

“I suddenly remember when you were little, if someone bullied you, you would pull me and big brother over to back you up,” Lu Zhanxing said, his gaze softening as he thought of the past.

The little sister, looking like a doll, hands on her hips, scowling fiercely at the other party.

Then she would turn and throw herself into his arms, eyes brimming with tears, tattling.

He wasn’t much older himself at the time, always competing with his sister for the affection of their family, but whenever he heard she was bullied, he’d rush out with a broom in hand.

In the end, the big brother would bring them both back home, one in each hand.

“I don’t know why, but recently these memories are becoming more and more vivid, even though I had forgotten them all.”

Lu Zhanxing accepted the improvement in his memory with ease.

Qiao Yun knew it was because of the chip that his memories were being revived.

She pursed her lips, leaving her comment cryptic, “You need to remember.”

“Hm?”

“Always remember the things from when we were little.”

“Of course, brother will remember. How could I forget such beautiful memories?”

“Mm, promise me,”

“Okay, brother promises you,” Lu Zhanxing promised.

Qiao Yun thought to herself that remembering these things would mean that the original owner of the body would have someone who cared.

“You have to remember too,” Lu Zhanxing said earnestly. “When you have trouble, don’t hide it from me.”

“Okay.”

Having gotten Qiao Yun’s promise, Lu Zhanxing finally left her room feeling at ease.

But for some reason, he still felt uneasy, always wanting to do something for his sister to put his mind at ease.

He tossed and turned all night.

The next day, Lu Zhanxing looked Qiao Yun over and after a while, he suddenly asked, “Sis, are you free?”

Qiao Yun answered him, “I am.”

“Then let’s go,” Lu Zhanxing said, ready to leave right away.

In Qiao Yun’s beautiful eyes, confusion filled: ???

“Where to?”

“Brother is going to buy you a gift,” Lu Zhanxing was eager.

“I don’t want a gift.”

After Qiao Yun said this, Lu Zhanxing’s expression visibly fell.

Qiao Yun: “Okay, I need a gift.”

Lu Zhanxing’s eyes lit up.

He immediately pulled Qiao Yun to leave the house.

He was now able to go out, it just required him to use a wheelchair.

Lu Jingzhi knew that Lu Zhanxing was planning to take Qiao Yun out to buy gifts, and his face darkened. He immediately implied he wanted to join them.

Qiao Yun didn’t say anything, whether Lu Jingzhi came along or not, it made no difference to her.

Lu Zhanxing thought Lu Jingzhi was too pitiful, wanting to get close to his sister but not daring to, and still needing his presence.

So he reluctantly agreed.

The three of them arrived at a large shopping mall, heading straight for the luxury brand area.

Lu Zhanxing entered ‘buy, buy, buy’ mode. Clothes, handbags, shoes—if he thought they looked good, he bought them.

As for the price, hundreds of thousands, millions, none of that was an issue.

He was rich.

Lu Jingzhi seemed to be competing with Lu Zhanxing. If Zhanxing bought clothes, Jingzhi also bought them and even more expensive ones at that.

Qiao Yun: “…”

She watched as one luxury item after another was laid out before her.

She felt a bit helpless.

But she did not want to ruin their mood; if later she could return them all, it wasn’t a big deal.

She wanted Lu Zhanxing to feel comfortable. If spending money could make Lu Zhanxing comfortable, spending a few billion wouldn’t be a problem.

Halfway through, Qiao Yun stepped outside for a breath of fresh air.

She wasn’t interested in shopping and even found it a bit boring.

Qiao Yun didn’t expect to run into someone.

It was that person who had been causing her trouble. She thought inappropriately that it was good Lu Zhanxing wasn’t there.

Otherwise, he would probably fight him even with his injured leg.

The man saw Qiao Yun, was initially stunned, then panic flooded his face. When he saw Qiao Yun about to leave, he hurriedly stepped forward to block her.

“Don’t go, let’s talk,”

Qiao Yun gave him a glance, having no interest in talking.

“I’ve already been punished and learned my lesson. Isn’t that enough? Why do you keep holding onto this? What do you want from me to finally let me go?”

The man was not doing well these days.

The punishment had been the biggest blow to him.

Yet, to his surprise, people around him had begun subtly ostracising him in the past few days.

He hadn’t understood why at first but later, someone told him that it was because Su Qingyan didn’t want to see him.

He didn’t know what he had done to upset Su Qingyan, so he went to confront Su Qingyan about it.
