Chapter 598: 598. The humiliation filled with the smell of money

Looking at the ceiling she had stared at for three years, lying on the bed she had slept in for three years, and suddenly having the man she once longed for by her side, she couldn’t help but feel a bit emotional.

She was held by Lu Moqing from behind in his arms, and she could smell the faint scent of shower gel on his nose.

This time, he was really obedient and did nothing but hold her.

Qiao Xu let him hold her. She had imagined countless times what it would feel like to be held in Lu Moqing’s arms like this from behind, and now she could finally experience it.

A sense of peace and tranquility that belonged only to him.

This time Qiao Xu returned to City A, she naturally took Qiao Yi to visit Old Master Qiao.

The old man was beyond ecstatic to see his precious great-grandchild.

From the old man’s mouth, Qiao Xu learned that Qiao Sheng and Su Suqin still hadn’t gotten married, and Su Rou had been sentenced directly to ten years in prison under the watchful eye of the Lu family.

These days, Qiao Sheng was still unreconciled and had been running around for Su Rou’s case.

Now, Qiao Xu had no interest in their family affairs, so she didn’t ask any more questions.

While at the Qiao’s residence, Qiao Xu received a call from Xia Yumo.

Xia Yumo was delighted to know that she had returned to City A and insisted on inviting her to a meal without any hesitation.

Qiao Xu gladly agreed. As Xiao Qiao Yi stayed unwilling to leave from his great-grandfather’s private armory, Qiao Xu let him be.

Meeting Xia Yumo at a large shopping mall in the city center, Xia Yumo appeared to have lost more weight compared to their last encounter.

With her tall and slim figure and short hair, she seemed even thinner.

"How did you get so thin? Is the law firm very busy?"

She had heard that the problem at her law firm had already been resolved.

Seeing Xia Yumo instinctively raise her hand to touch her hollowed cheeks, Qiao Xu suppressed the sadness in her eyes and waved it off, saying:

"Yes, it’s pretty busy, business is booming. Besides, I’ve been losing weight recently."

Xia Yumo unconsciously touched her belly and casually continued.

Qiao Xu frowned at her paper-thin appearance, "You’re already so thin, why are you still dieting?"

"Haven’t you heard of the skinny beauty? As a professional woman like me who stands in court every day, I need to maintain my best state at all times. People look healthier and more energetic when they’re thinner,"

Qiao Xu gave her a cold stare, "You’re starving yourself, that’s not healthy! You better eat more."

Seeing Qiao Xu’s stern face, Xia Yumo nodded hastily, "Alright, alright, isn’t that why I asked you to treat me to a meal? Let’s go."

She linked her arm with Qiao Xu’s and pulled her towards the shopping mall.

Qiao Xu noticed that her face looked unhealthy and thin, and still worried, she asked:

"Are you really okay? Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Upon Hearing this, Xia Yumo’s expression changed slightly, and then she feigned nonchalance, "What’s to check? I lost weight from dieting, I can just eat it back."

Before Qiao Xu could say anything else, she cut her off, "I’ll eat, I’ll eat more, I won’t diet anymore, just stop nagging me."

Qiao Xu knew that Xia Yumo was merely appeasing her, so she didn’t say anything more. They went to the restaurant, and Qiao Xu ordered a lot of food for her, leaving Xia Yumo somewhat speechless.

"Young Lady, as a wealthy young mistress, I know you’re super rich, but could you please not use this money-smelling stench to humiliate me?"
