Chapter 106: 106. Hooking Up and Flirting
At those words, a sudden cold glint flashed in Lu Moqing’s eyes, and he nodded before asking, “Did you really see her leave the room that year?”
“Yeah, what’s wrong?”
Su Rou’s hand at her side trembled imperceptibly before she clenched it forcefully to calm herself. Looking at Lu Moqing, she continued, “You know, I’m terrified of her. If she hadn’t left, I would never dare go in to save you.”
She spoke evasively, with her lower lip lightly bitten, appearing particularly pitiful.
“Did you really see her?”
Lu Moqing squinted his eyes and repeated the question, his gaze on Su Rou’s face becoming increasingly sharp. The light in his eyes seed capable of piercing through Su Rou.
Su Rou’s heart trembled under his gaze, but she could only pretend to be calm as she said, “Moqing, what’s wrong with you? Do you… not believe ? Do you think I’m framing my sister?”
As her words fell, Su Rou’s eyes suddenly reddened.
Seeing that Lu Moqing was unmoved and offered no explanation for her question, it was clear that he agreed with Su Rou’s guess.
Her expression tensed, she reached out and grabbed Lu Moqing’s hand on the table, “Moqing…”
Lu Moqing impatiently shook off her hand, as if eager to avoid sothing filthy. Just then, Xia Yumo, who had finished talking with Gu Junheng, walked by them.
Xia Yumo naturally saw Su Rou holding Lu Moqing’s hand. She glanced at Lu Moqing and scoffed coldly, her eyes filled with undisguised contempt.
“You really are scum, not even leaving a bone behind. One minute you’re calling a lawyer to talk about diation, the next you’re flirting with sothing disgraceful like her. Xuxu must have been blind to have ever been interested in you!”
Lu Moqing’s eyebrows furrowed, and he looked at Xia Yumo with cold eyes before turning his gaze to Gu Junhang behind her, saying, “I’ll let her off this ti for your sake. You’d better teach her to keep her mouth shut!”
“Lu Moqing, who do you think you are? I need you to… mmph!”
Xia Yumo had just heard Lu Moqing’s words, and her explosive temper imdiately blew up. But she was only halfway through when Gu Junhang covered her mouth and reluctantly dragged her out of the café.
After Xia Yumo was taken away by Gu Junhang, Lu Moqing looked back at Su Rou and said flatly, “Continue.”
Having been interrupted by Xia Yumo just now, Su Rou’s previously brewing sorrow had almost dissipated.
Especially after hearing Xia Yumo call her an illegitimate daughter unfit to be brought out in public, all those unbearable mories Qiao Xu had brought back to her flooded her mind, making her grit her teeth in hatred.
With a composed heart, she looked at Lu Moqing and gave a bitter smile. “Moqing, you know I’ve always wanted to go back to the Qiao family, to be the legitimate second daughter of the family, not an illegitimate daughter who people speak ill of. So, I would never have any conflict with Qiao Xu before entering the Qiao family. I even hoped she could help get in.”
She didn’t try to hide her thoughts from Lu Moqing at this point, knowing that he already understood them well.
“So, at the ti… I didn’t want to bring her up. But after saving you and learning you were the big boss of the Lu’s, I knew that even if I didn’t ntion it, you could find out. So I just told you directly, not expecting…”
