The woman who was always gentle and sweet with a bright smile in front of her was nothing but her disguise.
"Qiao Xu!"
Qiao Sheng's face turned blue with anger, "Since you don't consider me as your father, do you believe that I will kick you out of the Qiao family?"
"Do you even believe that yourself?"
She raised her eyebrows, propped her hands on the table, and arrogantly lifted her chin, asking rhetorically.
As Qiao Sheng's face showed humiliation and anger due to her words, the corners of her mouth curled up into a mocking, fearless sneer, clearly ridiculing Qiao Sheng.
"Why don't you think about it, are you misunderstanding your own abilities?"
"You..."
Qiao Sheng couldn't save face when Qiao Xu mocked him in front of his son-in-law, Lu Moqing.
If he didn't find a way to regain some face now, he would never be able to hold his head up high in front of Lu Moqing and the Lu family.
"Qiao Xu, Xiao Rou has the same blood as you, whether you want to admit it or not!"
Although he spoke the words, Qiao Sheng's eyes betrayed his lack of confidence.
Qiao Xu had never imagined that Qiao Sheng, such a weak and despicable man, would stoop to this level to fight with her for the sake of an illegitimate daughter.
But it's a pity that Qiao Xu had always been a tough bone to chew on. She had only ever shown that little bit of gentleness to Lu Moqing, but in the end, she had only touched herself.
A cold snort came from Qiao Xu's mouth, the icy coldness in her eyes like a thousand-year-old glacier, sweeping across Qiao Sheng and Su Rou's faces.
"Are you already so useless that you've resorted to this kind of dirty trick? Qiao Sheng, make it clear, who gave you your current position!"
"Qiao Xu, you... I am the head of the Qiao family, are you even qualified to say this?"
When Qiao Sheng said these words, his gaze was obviously hollow.
Some things were not known to outsiders, but he knew them all too well.
Qiao Xu laughed nonchalantly. Facing Qiao Sheng's fury, she didn't get angry at all, but instead, treated him like a joke.
She just raised an eyebrow carelessly, "The head of the family? If you're so confident in that identity, why not give it a try?"
Su Rou had been sitting there without making a sound, but every word Qiao Xu spoke was full of arrogance. Clearly, Qiao Xu didn't take Qiao Sheng seriously at all.
Su Rou knew when to advance and when to retreat. No matter how arrogant and domineering Qiao Xu was with her status as the legitimate daughter, the Qiao's were always Qiao Sheng's.
As long as she played the role of a good girl, Qiao Sheng's possessions would naturally include her share.
The more aggressive Qiao Xu was, the more disgusted Qiao Sheng would be, and she wouldn't be able to get a cent from his hands in the future.
And at that time, wouldn't everything be hers, Su Rou's?
She thought naively in her heart.
Qiao Sheng never expected Qiao Xu to be so aggressive, and was dumbfounded for a moment.
Whether he could kick Qiao Xu out of the Qiao family, he knew best in his heart.
"Dad, don't get angry with Sister, Xiao Rou really doesn't mind. As long as you are good to me, it doesn't matter whether I enter the Qiao family's door or not."
Seizing the right moment, Su Rou tried to mediate, her tear-filled eyes looking pitiful.
"Xiao Rou, don't worry, even if you can't enter the Qiao family's door, Dad won't let you be wronged."
Qiao Sheng patted Su Rou's hand, and the concern in his eyes was seen by Qiao Xu, who found his words ridiculous.
She knew very well what Qiao Sheng was thinking.
