Though Lu Moqing was his junior, every time Qiao Sheng faced him, he felt a sense of inferiority. With each encounter, the feeling grew more oppressive.
Su Suqin and her daughter Su Rou originally planned to have Qiao Sheng show their stepdaughter Qiao Xu who was in charge. They never expected Qiao Xu to be with Lu Moqing.
Especially since they could sense a hint of displeasure emanating from Lu Moqing.
"What a coincidence, President Qiao?"
Lu Moqing’s eyebrows twitched slightly as he looked at Qiao Sheng. As for Su’s mother and daughter, he ignored them completely.
Qiao Sheng’s expression was a bit awkward. His gaze inadvertently swept across Qiao Xu’s face and saw her disdainful expression, which immediately infuriated him.
He tried to regain the face he had lost to Lu Moqing by confronting Qiao Xu, even though he didn’t have much confidence.
"Mo Qing, you don’t know this, but Xuxu has really broken my heart."
Originally full of bluster, Qiao Sheng suddenly changed to a disappointed and heartbroken fatherly demeanor, looking quite ridiculous.
Qiao Xu cast a puzzled gaze at Qiao Sheng, guessing that he had come to stand up for Su’s mother and daughter, yet curious how he planned to do so.
The way they entered earlier, it seemed like they wanted to draw everyone’s attention, as if there was a sense of superiority in being a mistress and having a mistress.
Lu Moqing raised his eyebrows slightly, not taking Qiao Sheng’s bait.
Qiao Sheng’s face showed a hint of embarrassment. Seeing that Lu Moqing was silent, he turned his gaze to Qiao Xu and said, "Xuxu, what do you want Dad to do to make you happy?"
If she didn’t know Qiao Sheng’s true nature, Qiao Xu might have been swindled by his earnest expression.
She really hadn’t expected Qiao Sheng’s acting skills to be so good. It was a pity he didn’t pursue a career in acting.
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Upon hearing Qiao Xu calling him "Dad," Qiao Sheng’s body involuntarily trembled.
If it wasn’t for her scheming against him, Qiao Xu wouldn’t call him that. He remembered the last time she called him like this, the memory wasn’t pleasant.
Qiao Sheng looked at Qiao Xu, who had lost her initial disdain and now appeared innocent, and suddenly became more cautious.
At that moment, Lu Moqing also looked at her.
Qiao Sheng stared at Qiao Xu’s innocent face with a guarded expression for a while before choosing his words carefully.
"I know you don’t like your Auntie Su, but your mom and I have been divorced for over half a year now. Why can’t you accept it? Before, when you verbally insulted Auntie Su, she considered you as a child who didn’t understand and didn’t hold it against you. But this time you’ve gone too far. How could you break her fingers?"
Qiao Sheng’s tone wasn’t harsh. Although he was questioning her, his voice still carried a bit of grievance.
Looking at Su Suqin, her eyes turned red with perfect timing after hearing Qiao Sheng’s words, looking as if she had truly been wronged.
Quite "cooperative," she stepped forward and tugged Qiao Sheng’s arm, her eyes filled with repression and grievance. "Forget it, Sheng, I’m fine. Let’s just go."
As she spoke, her eyes reddened further, embodying the image of a miserable stepmother bullied by her ignorant stepdaughter for a long time.
"Su Qin, don’t be too indulgent with her. She broke your fingers this time; who knows if she’ll break your legs next time."
