Chapter 55: 055. Give an Inch, Take a Mile
“You’re in no position to talk about propriety with me. If you really understood it, you wouldn’t flaunt an illegitimate daughter so brazenly. I thought not seeing you for four years would allow some useful things to accumulate in your brain, but it turns out that the only thing that has grown in that time is your age, not your wisdom.”
Qiao Xu’s voice was chillingly cold, as if she had just emerged from an icehouse.
Lu Moqing had been standing by Qiao Xu’s side without uttering a word, not knowing why he was there.
It seemed to be an instinct, wanting to stand behind her and lend support.
His intuition told him that, however domineering Qiao Xu might seem at the moment, her heart must be fragile.
Seeing the doubtful gazes cast by many from a distance, Lu Moqing couldn’t help but remind her, “Qiao Xu, stop talking.”
He pulled her towards himself, his posture somewhat protective.
Qiao Sheng didn’t care about his reputation and flaunted his illegitimate daughter, but he didn’t want Qiao Xu to lose face in this situation.
Those people seemed to have nothing on the surface, but their eyes, full of curiosity, obviously began to speculate about Qiao Xu’s identity.
However, Lu Moqing’s concern was interpreted by Qiao Xu as something else.
“What’s the matter, President Lu? I’ve just said a few words, and you can’t stand it already?”
She looked at Lu Moqing, her eyes icy cold.
At this moment, she felt the painful sensation of fighting alone, but she had no one to turn to for help.
“You are really responsible, as soon as I mentioned coming to deal with her, you couldn’t wait to follow.”
Every word from Qiao Xu stung, making Lu Moqing’s eyebrows furrow tighter and tighter.
He wanted to explain to her, but he felt that, given what was happening and her mood, she would think he had ulterior motives if he did.
So, he simply said, “Xiao Rou is my friend, I don’t want her to be embarrassed in this situation.”

“Whether she’s your friend or your lover, what does it have to do with me? What makes you think that I would treat her kindly for your sake?”
Lu Moqing didn’t expect his just-now peacekeeping statement would provoke such a strong response from Qiao Xu. The rejection and anger in her eyes stung his heart, causing a slight pain. For a moment, he forgot to explain himself.
Meanwhile, Su Rou hadn’t expected that Lu Moqing would stand by her side. She felt a tinge of surprise in her eyes, and her previous fear instantly vanished.
Qiao Sheng, standing nearby, also seemed more confident with Lu Moqing on their side, his back straighter.
His eldest daughter practically worshipped Lu Moqing like a god, and she was bound to listen to his words.
“Xiao Rou is your sister after all. You used to embarrass her, but she never bore grudges. Don’t overstep your boundaries and try anything in this situation.”
Qiao Xu could hear that Qiao Sheng’s newfound confidence came from Lu Moqing taking their side.
She sneered in her heart, her gaze sweeping past the deep furrow in Lu Moqing’s brow.
“What can she do to me even if she does bear a grudge? Don’t worry, this woman isn’t worth making me lose my dignity in this situation. I don’t need to hurry now. When the time comes to deal with her, I’ll have plenty of opportunities.”
