Chapter 40: 040. A Pair of Worn-Out Shoes I’ve Worn

As she unintentionally raised her gaze, she unexpectedly caught sight of a dazzling figure not far behind Qiao Xu. That figure was now approaching in their direction.

A cold, unfeeling aura created an impassable barrier, keeping admiring gazes from those around her far away.

Su Rou closed her eyes with a smile, then looked up with a pitiable and innocent expression.

“Sister, if you’re angry with me because of Moqing, I can explain.”

Lu Moqing had been bothered all morning by Qiao Xu’s words.

In fact, there was no need for him to stay in the hospital while Lu Xintong was hospitalized, but he had been lingering there until now.

Unable to make sense of his thoughts, all he knew was that he could not divorce Qiao Xu. He wanted to go and clear things up with Qiao Xu, but before he reached her office, he heard Su Rou’s voice.

As he heard her mention his name, he unconsciously raised his eyes and looked in that direction.

Seeing Qiao Xu, with her impatient expression, being blocked by Su Rou, and comparing it to Su Rou’s pitiable and charming demeanor, Qiao Xu’s posture seemed excessively lazy and indifferent. Yet, it couldn’t conceal her lofty arrogance under that demeanor.

Her casual eyes seemed as if she was watching an exciting play, a play directed and performed by Su Rou.

“I know, Xintong always talks to you about my relationship with Moqing. Actually, there’s really nothing between Moqing and me. I’ve also told Xintong not to say anything that would make you misunderstand, but I didn’t expect…”

She bit her lower lip with difficulty, looking incredibly innocent, “I didn’t expect that you still misunderstood, sister.”

Qiao Xu’s expression didn’t change at all, but she couldn’t help but inwardly admire Su Rou’s acting skills. Unfortunately, she wasn’t Qiao Sheng or Lu Moqing. Such tricks wouldn’t work on her.

“Miss Su, I found out that the whole world owes you an Oscar.”

Qiao Xu spoke candidly, and Su Rou naturally heard the unconcealed sarcasm in her words. She suddenly looked up at her, her face turning pale and her eyes filling with more grievance.

“Lu Moqing? Is he the only thing you can show off to me?”

Her gaze at Su Rou was like looking at a joke, her mockery for Lu Moqing evident with no attempt to hide it.

“Nothing more than a pair of worn shoes I’ve worn before. If you like them so much, you can pick them up and wear them.”

Su Rou never expected Qiao Xu to talk about Lu Moqing like this. While she was surprised, she also felt a sense of schadenfreude.

She had learned all about Lu Moqing’s dislike for Qiao Xu from Lu Xintong.

Now, Moqing could hear Qiao Xu belittling him with his own ears. This self-righteous vile woman was finished.

Despite her thoughts, her face was a flustered mess, her expression showing confusion as she defended herself:

“Sister, that’s not what I meant. I just don’t want you to misunderstand.”

As she spoke, she bit her lower lip, releasing her grievances without reservation.

“Can you leave now?”

Qiao Xu’s face remained unmoved.

“Sister, I…”

“What? Not content with being an illegitimate daughter, now you want to be a roadblock?”

Qiao Xu’s eyes grew colder, the sharpness in them enough to make one’s courage waver.

“I have no pity for mangy dogs. You really want to give it a try?”

As her words fell, Qiao Xu’s eyes narrowed, exuding a cold and aggressive aura. In the end, Su Rou was still frightened by Qiao Xu’s imposing presence.
