12 012. The Illegitimate Daughter is Su Rou

Realizing this, a devious thought crossed Qiao Sheng's mind, his thoughts subtly shifting.

Qiao Xu had never expected that Lu Moqing would know Qiao Sheng's illegitimate daughter.

Wait, Xiao Rou?

She...is Su Rou?

Is she the one that Lu Moqing has never been able to let go of?

Qiao Sheng's illegitimate daughter outside is actually Lu Moqing's lover?

Looking at Lu Moqing, she had never felt as ridiculous as this moment, nor had she ever detested him as much as she did now.

He and Qiao Sheng, one humiliated her, and the other humiliated her mother.

Qiao Xu felt that she truly deserved to be the butt of this joke.

Three years, she had worked hard for three years, only to lose to an illegitimate daughter?

The irony and resentment in Qiao Xu's eyes, which he had never seen before, made Lu Moqing's heart feel as if it had been stabbed by a blunt object, somewhat uncomfortable.

Even if he had ignored her, mocked her during the three years of their marriage, she had never shown him hatred.

But now, in Qiao Xu's eyes, there was an unfamiliar and distasteful emotion.

Lu Moqing glanced at her without a sound, his heart shuddering slightly, but he said nothing.

"Mo Qing, come, come, come, sit, so you know Xiao Rou."

Qiao Sheng was particularly enthusiastic when facing Lu Moqing, asking this question very deliberately, his eyes intentionally or unintentionally casting a glance at Qiao Xu's indeterminate face, obviously saying this on purpose for Qiao Xu to hear.

"Yes, Xiao Rou saved my...sister."

Lu Moqing's gaze quietly returned from Qiao Xu's face, answering casually.

But his words seemed to add some deliberate explanation, his gaze quietly shifted back to Qiao Xu.

Seeing her suddenly chuckle, the cold light in her eyes grew deeper and deeper.

As for Su Rou beside Lu Moqing, she deliberately or unintentionally leaned closer to him, but only from an angle where no one else could see, she revealed a smug smile.

When her father brought her to meet Qiao Xu, she had thought about having Lu Moqing come with her, but she knew that without a good enough reason, she couldn't possibly persuade Lu Moqing. So, for her long-term plan, she dismissed the idea.

But she didn't expect that Lu Moqing would come with Qiao Xu. She knew how much Qiao Xu cared about Lu Moqing.

She lost to Qiao Xu in terms of identity, status, and family background. Only Lu Moqing could give her an irreversible advantage over Qiao Xu.

And Qiao Xu's reaction at this moment did not disappoint her.

"Mo Qing, when my dad said he wanted to bring me to meet my sister, I was so happy, and I wanted to share this good news with you first. I didn't expect you to come here so coincidentally."

Su Rou's eyes were bright and clear, her dark eyes shining with innocence, much like a naive girl filled with anticipation after gaining family recognition.

And her every word was meant to subtly reveal her close relationship with Lu Moqing to Qiao Xu.

Lu Moqing's expression was indifferent, and he didn't appear overly intimate with Su Rou, but he didn't point out her deliberate attempts to close the distance between them, either.

His deep gaze involuntarily turned to Qiao Xu, who by this moment had already put away that suffocating resentment and resumed her indifferent demeanor.

Seeing her looking at Su Rou with a mocking smile, the disdain and ridicule in her eyes were undisguised.

"Miss Su Rou, did I not make myself clear just now? My mother only gave birth to me, and I don't have the habit of acknowledging relatives indiscriminately."
