CEO Wants To Marry Me After Divorce
Chapter 671. Cold and shameless

Chapter 671: 671. Cold and shameless

Gazing at his cold, unyielding face, a sense of distress welled up in Qiao Xu’s heart.

She gave him a comforting smile, leaned in, and planted a kiss on his resolute chin, her tone somewhat proud and coquettish:

"I’m not interested in knowing anything about people who treat my man badly."

Upon hearing her words, the annoyance that Lu Moqing had due to Qin Shuyi dissipated instantly.

He looked at her, chuckled softly, bent down to peck her lips, then said:

"When I was six, my dad found out she had an affair with Yan Xu. My dad was on a business trip in Southeast Asia when he found out. He planned to divorce her after returning from the trip. However, he died in a plane crash on his way back to the country."

Lu Moqing narrated with an exceptionally calm tone, only revealing a faint trace of emotion when he mentioned his father’s death.

Qiao Xu knew about the conflicts between this mother and son but hadn’t expected it to be because of Qin Shuyi’s infidelity.

"Due to my father’s sudden death, the unprepared Lu family’s stock prices plummeted overnight, and many people took advantage of the chaos to rob us."

"It was my grandma who, despite being ill, personally went to stabilize the Lu family’s collapsing situation. Meanwhile, that woman..."

Lu Moqing paused for a moment, coldness flashing in his eyes before quickly continuing with restraint:

"After handling my dad’s funeral, she took a quarter of my dad’s resources and left me and my sister to marry Yan Xu."

"At that time, grandma was still grieving the loss of her son and busy dealing with the precarious Lu family affairs, leaving her with no energy to argue with that woman, so she just let her go with it."

Qiao Xu remained silent, simply leaning in his embrace and listening.

Even though she hadn’t witnessed their ordeal, she could imagine how desperate six-year-old Lu Moqing must have felt, suddenly losing his father and then being abandoned by his mother.

Feeling distressed, she held Lu Moqing’s hand while listening to him continue:

"My grandma had to stabilize the Lu family while taking care of me and Tongtong. Combined with her poor health, it wasn’t until she finally secured the family situation that her body gave in."

Qiao Xu could imagine how exhausted the old lady must have been back then, which explained why he took over the family business when he was only 18.

Eighteen, an age where most teenagers had just reached adulthood.

And he had to shoulder the burden of a massive enterprise.

One could imagine the immense effort and energy he needed to put in.

As she listened, Qiao Xu’s heart ached for him even more.

Looking at Lu Moqing, she couldn’t see any malice in his cold eyes at this moment, as if he were narrating someone else’s story.

Qiao Xu embraced him tightly, her eyes brimming with distress as she said:

"It’s okay; I’m here for you now, and we don’t need to care about someone who doesn’t care about you."

Hearing his wife’s comforting and empathetic tone, the coldness in Lu Moqing’s eyes diminished, soon replaced by delight.

He reached out, ruffled her hair, and with gratitude in his eyes, bent down to kiss her forehead, "Thank you, wife."

In fact, he couldn’t say he hated Qin Shuyi. As a child, he may have yearned for a mother’s love, but now he’s thirty and no longer a child who needs a mother’s care.
