He held the girl's hand next to him and with slight uneasiness, looked at Qiao Xu. "Xuxu, this is your little sister Xiao Rou, she's two months younger than you."
A sister?
Qiao Xu's indifferent face finally showed a hint of change.
She already knew that Qiao Sheng kept a mistress outside, and that the mistress had given birth to a daughter, but Qiao Sheng never dared to bring them home.
What was he trying to do now?
Planning to formally acknowledge his illegitimate daughter's identity?
"President Qiao, are you mistaken? I don't remember my mother having any other children besides me. Who is this random person you brought along? I just returned to the country, and you brought this kind of person to irritate me. Are you doing it on purpose?"
Lu Moqing helped Qiao Xu park the car and, as he stepped into Nanyuan Restaurant, caught Qiao Xu's harsh words in his ears. Surprise filled his eyes.
However, he quickly hid his astonishment. From the moment he saw Qiao Xu at the entrance of the operating room today, he knew that his understanding of her had been wrong from the beginning.
As soon as the waiter saw him enter, he immediately greeted him. "President Lu..."
Lu Moqing shook his head quietly, while his gaze stayed on Qiao Xu. He had never seen her, who always acted obediently in front of him like a puppet, speak so harshly.
No, how could he forget? A woman who could do such a thing, how could she be as obedient as he once thought?
He knew she was pretending in front of him, but his subconscious actually believed she had loved him sincerely.
He didn't rush over, but chose to sit down at a table nearby. His deep eyes were filled with an inexplicable meaning, fixed on Qiao Xu's face.
Qiao Sheng's face turned red with anger because of Qiao Xu's rude and harsh words. "Xiao Rou is my daughter, of course your sister."
Qiao Xu was amused by Qiao Sheng's self-righteous assertion and raised her eyebrows mockingly, showing a hint of allure.
"An illegitimate daughter is worthy of being called my sister? Qiao Sheng, can you not lower my status?"
When Qiao Xu spoke, she completely ignored the girl beside her, as if she should have been disregarded.
Even with Qiao Sheng present, Qiao Xu's aura could easily control the entire scene.
Qiao Sheng's face suddenly darkened. He could bear her calling him 'President Qiao,' but now she was calling him by his full name. Did she even see him as her father at all?
After all, he was still the Chairman of Qiao Corporation. How could he show his face if his daughter ridiculed him like this, especially in front of his most beloved little daughter?
The atmosphere was tense, and Lu Moqing finally stood up and walked towards them.
"Xiao Rou."
Hearing his voice, the girl beside Qiao Sheng couldn't help but show surprise. Then, like a drowning person finding a lifeline, she quickly turned her head, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.
"Mo Qing, what are you doing here?"
Lu Moqing did not answer. Under Qiao Xu's puzzled gaze, he looked at Qiao Sheng. "Dad."
He lowered his eyes slightly and greeted him in a deep voice. His attitude didn't show any unnecessary enthusiasm and seemed more like a distant outsider.
Qiao Sheng didn't expect Lu Moqing to appear with Qiao Xu, let alone that his younger daughter would know Lu Moqing. Moreover, judging from their form of address, their relationship seemed quite close.
