Chapter 1029: 1029. Saving face to live off a woman

"Alright."

Qiaoxu nodded, feeling a bit tired and didn’t insist on staying. She went upstairs.

As she passed Xiao Yingying’s room, she heard her talking on the phone, mentioning the word "dad". It was clear that she was talking to Xiao Yi.

Qiaoxu was about to eavesdrop more when Xiao Yingying’s room door suddenly swung open.

Seeing Qiaoxu at the entrance, Xiao Yingying’s face changed slightly, and she looked a bit flustered.

Qiaoxu noticed her obvious panic.

Qiaoxu did not bother to explain why she was trying to eavesdrop on Xiao Yingying’s phone call. She maintained a calm expression and looked far more candid than Xiao Yingying’s flustered appearance.

Qiaoxu glanced at the phone in Xiao Yingying’s hand and asked,

"Talking to Mr. Xiao?"

Xiao Yingying felt a bit discontented when Qiaoxu called him that.

She wanted to say that her father was Qiaoxu’s elder and uncle, and that Qiaoxu shouldn’t be disrespectful.

However, at this moment, she didn’t dare to correct Qiaoxu’s address.

Moreover, Qiaoxu’s mouth was naturally prickly. If anyone displeased her, she would retaliate.

"Yes...Yes, I told my dad about grandpa’s fall, and he’s worried. He said he must come over to see grandpa."

Xiao Yingying said nervously. She was trying to show Qiaoxu how good and filial her father was.

Qiaoxu wasn’t a fool, nor would she praise Xiao Yi’s filial actions. Instead, she sneered and said,

"If Mr. Xiao wants to reconcile with 2nd Aunt, why doesn’t he apologize to her himself? Instead, he makes you, the daughter, step in. As a man, does he not have the courage to admit his mistake?"

Qiaoxu never thought of giving Xiao Yi any face. Pretending to be a loving son-in-law, huh?

She would tear down his hypocritical facade.

When Xiao Yingying heard Qiaoxu’s words, she could no longer control her emotions. Her sinister gaze flashed with a hint of distortion.

However, she quickly hid it, forcing a smile and said,

"My dad is ashamed to see my mom since she’s still angry with him."

"If he doesn’t even have the courage to admit his mistake, how can he have the face to ask for a second chance? Is all his shamelessness reserved for living off a woman?"

"Qiaoxu, you... "

Xiao Yingying couldn’t hold back anymore; the ferocity she had been hiding surfaced on her face.

Seeing this, Qiaoxu had a cheap smile on her lips.

Then, without saying anything, she turned around and returned to her room.

As soon as the door closed, the cheap smile on Qiaoxu’s face disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

She didn’t believe grandpa’s fall was an accident.

As she lay down in bed, a myriad of thoughts filled Qiaoxu’s mind.

The plane accident involving Lu Jun over twenty years ago, the drugging and kidnapping of Lu Moqing nine years ago, the car accident in the United States a few months ago...

His sudden disappearance and reappearance, and the mysterious erasure of his memory...

Each event felt like a haze, as if she could see everything if she just reached out and pushed aside the fog.

Yet, she always felt like something was missing.

If they could set a trap for Su Rou using Lu Moqing, perhaps they could expose the person behind her and find a major clue.
