Chapter 1165: 1165. Utterly defeated

"Mom, I’m not willing to risk my reputation and life to fight, only to end up losing to Qiaoxu in the end. Do you understand?"

Su Suqin was stunned by Su Rou’s words.

She thought of the words the servant had said to them before leaving.

Even in this grand villa, she was the lady of the house, but in the eyes of these servants, had they ever truly respected them?

"Mom, do you know that if Moqing finds out that we were also involved in the scheming against him back then, what would our fate be?"

Her gaze, sharp and piercing, looked at the confused eyes of Su Suqin and she chuckled coldly, saying:

"We would become so destitute that we might be worse off than the servants. Do you want that kind of life?"

Su Suqin’s face suddenly changed.

For the past twenty-something years, although she had no formal status, Qiao Sheng was there, and she lived the life of a rich wife.

However, she knew very well Qiao Sheng’s capabilities, that he could not compete with Lu Moqing.

Once they angered Lu Moqing, Qiao Sheng wouldn’t be able to protect them. Even the entire Qiao family could be brought down by him.

Or, he could simply give the Qiao family to Qiaoxu, in which case, they would end up utterly defeated.

At her age, without any work experience or money, what could she do?

Could it be that she also had to become a lowly servant and let her master trample on her dignity?

Su Suqin didn’t dare to think further, just shaking her head continuously, "You’re right, we can’t let him expose us. We have to find a way to meet him."

She grabbed Su Rou’s arm, saying:

"However, Xiao Rou, promise me that you won’t do anything foolish unless it’s absolutely necessary. If you kill someone, your life will be truly over. Have you forgotten what it’s like to be in prison?"

Su Rou remained silent with a somber expression.

Of course, she wouldn’t easily kill anyone. Even if she were to kill someone, she wouldn’t do it herself.

"Don’t worry, Mom, I won’t be so stupid as to push myself down a dead-end path."

However, Su Rou had never thought that someone had sold her out long before An Jiakang was caught.

After An Jiakang was arrested, Su’s father and daughter tried every way to see An Jiakang.

However, as An Jiakang was an important witness in Liao Liang’s case, no one was allowed to visit him by order from above.

Su’s mother and daughter had no connections, and the only ones they could rely on were Qiao Sheng’s.

But if they wanted Qiao Sheng’s help, they had to tell him the truth about what happened back then.

"What?!"

Qiao Sheng was shocked and literally jumped from his chair upon hearing about the events from nine years ago from Su Suqin and her daughter.

"That An Jiakang schemed against Lu Moqing nine years ago, and you were involved too?"

Qiao Sheng angrily pointed at the mother and daughter duo in front of him, wishing he could slap both of their faces.

Putting aside the connection with Lu Moqing, An Jiakang was Liao Liang’s man.

Who was Liao Liang? He had committed heinous crimes.

Now, many people were trying to distance themselves from Liao Liang or even sever ties completely. But they... they were actually involved in the events from nine years ago.

If people found out, would anyone believe that they simply wanted to get close to Lu Moqing without any ulterior motives?

"You... you... you good-for-nothing troublemakers!"

Qiao Sheng was livid.

Thinking of Lu Moqing, he felt even worse.

At this point, it was very likely that he would be implicated by this foolish mother and daughter duo.

It was the first time Su Rou had been scolded by Qiao Sheng, and her eyes reddened with grievances. However, since she needed his help, she couldn’t throw a tantrum.
