Qiao Sheng's face was terrifyingly dark.
He had always thought that although he didn't have a good relationship with his daughter, he knew that she was not a petty person.
That's why he wanted to let her accept Xiao Rou first, then bring Xiao Rou back to the Qiao Family. With Qiao Xu there, the old man would definitely accept Xiao Rou.
But he didn't expect that he was completely wrong this time.
She not only disrespected Xiao Rou but also pressured him relentlessly, leaving him nearly powerless to fight back.
Su Rou also didn't expect that Qiao Sheng would be so useless in front of Qiao Xu, letting his daughter be so arrogant as a father.
However, fortunately, even if Qiao Sheng couldn't stand up for her, wasn't there still Lu Moqing?
No matter how arrogant Qiao Xu was, in front of Lu Moqing, she would have to behave, right?
Thinking this way, Su Rou's heart felt a little lighter.
She looked up at Qiao Sheng, then at Lu Moqing, lowered her eyes, her tears welling up, biting her lower lip, trying her best to hide the grievance in her eyes.
As Qiao Xu passed by her, Su Rou quickly grabbed her and knelt down on one knee.
"Sister, I'm sorry, it's all my fault, I'm not good, Dad shouldn't have brought me here to upset you. Please don't be angry with Dad, I'm sorry, Sister..."
Su Rou's pitiful and aggrieved expression would evoke sympathy from anyone who saw her.
Qiao Xu lowered her eyes and glanced at the hand that Su Rou was holding, the corner of her mouth curling up in a mocking smile.
No matter how much Su Rou played the victim, Qiao Xu had never fallen for this act. But if someone was willing to grovel before her, there was no reason for her to stop them, right?
"So you just kneel down so easily?"
She looked at Su Rou's pitiful appearance, sneering sarcastically, "My grandpa is a soldier. He said that the children of the Qiao Family would rather die standing than live on their knees. With such weak knees, are you sure you're from our Qiao Family?"
Her words were filled with mockery, and she glanced meaningfully at Qiao Sheng, "You'd better check carefully, lest you unknowingly become a cuckholded father."
In the face of Qiao Sheng's livid expression and Su Rou's pale face, she forcefully shook off Su Rou's hand and brushed off her clothes that Su Rou had touched, her face full of disgust.
"Sister, I..."
Her words were barely out of her mouth when they were frightened back by Qiao Xu's cold warning look.
Su Rou's heart was boiling with anger, her fists clenched under her sleeves, her fingertips turning white.
This was her first time dealing with Qiao Xu, and she didn't expect this woman to be completely impervious to reason.
Qiao Xu didn't say another word to Qiao Sheng and Su Rou, and before leaving, her gaze fell upon Lu Moqing, who had been silent all this while, filled with disdain.
What kind of taste did Lu Moqing have?
He actually took a fancy to this internationally renowned, hypocritical white lotus. Qiao Xu was blind for falling for such a low-taste, disgusting man.
Lu Moqing received Qiao Xu's disdainful gaze, feelings of displeasure surfacing in his heart.
After four years of not seeing her, Qiao Xu seemed to have changed into a completely different person. The way she looked at him was no longer full of love and admiration like before. No, he had forgotten again that she hadn't changed, she had just reverted to her true nature.
"I won't disturb you three any longer."
She casually dropped this sentence, inadvertently looking back and meeting Lu Moqing's ambiguous gaze. Her throat tightened suddenly, and her hatred for Lu Moqing deepened.
She didn't care about Qiao Sheng or Su Rou, but the man in front of her was someone she had deeply loved and couldn't let go no matter how hard she tried. Yet he joined these two people and stomped mercilessly on her dignity.
