Chapter 827: 827. Suddenly becoming assertive

Perceiving Qin Shuyi’s dissatisfaction in her tone of voice, Yan Xu’s eyes quietly clouded over.

After a few seconds of silence, he finally spoke indifferently, "I don’t blame you. It’s just that we are unfamiliar with this place after all, and it’s normal for me, as her father, to worry about her encountering any issues."

Qin Shuyi pursed her lips in disdain at this thought. How much trouble could a grown-up person, who has been in the entertainment industry for so long, encounter by attending a birthday banquet at someone else’s home?

Infantilized much?

Qin Shuyi couldn’t help but feel a bit sarcastic.

She had been by his side for so many years but had never received a single word of comfort or concern from him.

However, she had just noticed the softening in Yan Xu’s tone, something that would have been impossible in the past.

This made Qin Shuyi even more certain that both Yan Xu and Yan Yufei wanted to use her to get close to Lu Moqing.

Now that she was of use to them, their attitude toward her had changed.

As she was thinking about this, she saw Yan Yufei coming over from a distance. Her appearance of being heartbroken had disappeared, and she looked as glamorous and radiant as ever, just like the Best Actress she was in front of the camera.

Qin Shuyi couldn’t help but admire Yan Yufei’s thick skin. She could still stay in the Lin Family’s home like this and looked so refreshed.

"Dad."

She walked up to Yan Xu and called out to him with a refreshed look.

"Feifei, where have you been? Your dad was looking for you just now."

Qin Shuyi, who was standing nearby, spoke up at the right time. However, Yan Yufei didn’t even glance at her, looking only at Yan Xu and asking:

"Dad, do you need me for something?"

"No, I just wanted to introduce you to some uncles."

As he spoke, he pulled Yan Yufei to the side and glanced in the direction of Lu Moqing. Lowering his voice, he asked:

"How did it go?"

Yan Yufei knew what Yan Xu wanted to ask. Her eyes suddenly reddened. "Dad, don’t ask anymore. Lu Moqing will never like me, at least... at least as long as Qiao Xu exists, I won’t have a chance."

"Then make her disappear."

Yan Yufei was stunned for a moment, thinking she had misheard. She looked at Yan Xu in surprise and caught a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Her heartbeat sped up a few notches.

"Wha...what?"

The murderous intent in Yan Xu’s eyes quickly disappeared, making Yan Yufei think that she might have seen it wrong.

"Oh, nothing. I just wanted to tell you that if you like him, you should fight for him. Don’t give up easily. A man like Lu Moqing isn’t meant to belong to only one woman."

Of course, Yan Yufei didn’t want to give up so easily either, but since Lu Moqing had shown such disdain for her, how could she approach him without making him even more disgusted with her?

Yan Xu could tell what his daughter was thinking, and he glanced at Qin Shuyi, who was acting unconcerned nearby.

He clearly felt that ever since their big fight after returning from Lu Island, Qin Shuyi had changed her attitude towards him and his daughter. At that time, she had knelt before him, begging him to let her stay, and had even given him half of the Lu Corporation shares she had obtained from Lu Jun back then, just to stay by his side.

But after that, she had become less careful in trying to please him, and even more so towards his daughter.

Just the day before yesterday, he had heard from Feifei that this woman not only set her up but also slapped her.

When he confronted her about it, she was not nervous at all and even readily admitted to it.

She said that as a stepdaughter, it might be tolerable for her to frequently speak harshly to her stepmother, but when she resorted to physical assault, was it not justified for her, an elder, to retaliate?
