However, the smug look on Qiao Jiaxi's face did not last long.
She watched helplessly as Lu Shiyuan suddenly walked out from behind Xia Jinmeng.
Lu Shiyuan first observed the half of Xia Jinmeng's face that had been slapped by Qiao Jiaxi. Then, his face darkened as he stared daggers at Qiao Jiaxi.
"Explain to me, what do you mean by 'at least you know your place'?" His voice was harsh and somber, making Qiao Jiaxi pale in an instant.
"I... President Lu, let me explain. I just..." Qiao Jiaxi pleaded as she tried to pull Lu Shiyuan's arm.
Lu Shiyuan shook off Qiao Jiaxi's hand forcefully. For a moment, she lost her balance and fell to the ground.
"I don't want to see you again!" Lu Shiyuan looked at Qiao Jiaxi with extreme disgust.
At this moment, Xia Jinmeng looked up at Lu Shiyuan. "President Lu, this is between Jiaxi and me. I can solve it myself."
