Chapter 187: 187. Show of authority

Qiao Sheng came to Old Master Qiao, oblivious to the surrounding people’s strange looks. He introduced Su Suqin and Su Rou to the old man, saying, "Dad, this is Su Qin, and this is my daughter Xiao Rou. They heard that today is your birthday, so they came to congratulate you."

Su Suqin wanted to marry into the Qiao Family, and Su Rou wanted to become the legitimate young lady of the Qiao Family. Only by getting the recognition of the old man could they consolidate their position in the Qiao Family and even the entire upper-class social circle.

Therefore, both of them were prepared to behave well in front of the old man. When they saw him, they were already showing a submissive appearance.

Such a look might seem well-behaved in ordinary families, but in the eyes of these worldly people, it appeared pretentious and petty.

"They simply can’t fit into high society - no amount of jewelry can cover up their lowly nature."

Among these businessmen, many had mistresses on the side, so their legitimate wives naturally disliked someone like Su Suqin and would not have any good evaluations of her.

Looking at the old man’s cold expression, Qiao Sheng’s smile was somewhat awkward, but he still pushed his daughter in front of the old man. "Xiao Rou, come on, give the gift you prepared to Grandpa."

Qiao Sheng intended to show off Su Rou, creating an image of a loving father and filial child. The expressions of the guests witnessing this scene were somewhat awkward.

However, everyone thought Old Master Qiao would endure for the sake of face in such an occasion, at least leaving some dignity for Qiao Sheng. But before Su Rou could even step forward, the old man lazily glanced at her.

"Your daughter? Isn’t your daughter Xuxu? Am I getting senile? How come I didn’t know I have another granddaughter?"

As the words fell, the faces of Qiao Sheng and Su Rou and daughter instantly froze.

Qiao Sheng didn’t expect the old man to be so unyielding. Seeing Su Rou’s pale face, he couldn’t help but feel distressed and his face began to show some anger.

However, he still didn’t dare to confront the old man directly. Lowering his voice, he pleaded, "Dad, no matter what, Xiao Rou is still my daughter. Please, give me some face."

"Hmph! What face do you have in front of me? You don’t even care about your own face, and you expect others to give you face?"

Old Master Qiao’s voice was loud, deep and powerful. He clearly didn’t intend to give face to the three of them in front of so many people. Qiao Sheng’s face instantly turned livid.

Still not satisfied, Old Master Qiao turned his gaze to the pale Su Rou and asked coldly, "Your name is Su Rou?"

Su Rou was already bewildered by the old man’s previous stance. Like Qiao Sheng, she thought that the old man would not make a scene today. She didn’t expect...

Seeing the sharp aura permeating the old man’s gaze, Su Rou unconsciously trembled and involuntarily took a step back.

Seeing her petty behavior, the old man couldn’t help but feel disgusted. His eyes filled with disdain. Besides, he never intended to show any mercy to this mother-daughter pair today.

Daring to provoke him at his birthday banquet? They obviously don’t know who Qiao Zhen is.

"Gra... Grandpa, it’s me, I’m Su Rou."

"Don’t rush to recognize your kin."

Old Master Qiao raised his hand dismissively and then turned his eyes to the livid Qiao Sheng. "Have you checked if she is a child of our Qiao Family? The children of our Qiao Family are all upright and wouldn’t do things like seducing other people’s husbands and destroying other people’s families."
