Chapter 37: Fight Back
"Later, when I was in high school, she started to let me grow up without any guidance, and had people deliberately lead me astray so that I would become a good-for-nothing."
“Every time my dad asks about her homework, she always says, ‘I’m still young. It’s not too late to go to the company after I finish college.’”
"I actually believed it." The man smiled bitterly.
Qiao Xu let Xu Si'an lie on her lap, and she took a dry towel to dry his hair.
Xu Si'an rested his head on her lap, pressed his face against her lower abdomen, and hugged her waist.
“Until my dad suddenly suffered a cerebral hemorrhage, before he died he told me that I must take good care of the company, take good care of myself, and be wary of outsiders.”
“You know what, Qiaoqiao, I thought the outsider he was referring to was Xu Shiran.”
“I knew from a very young age that he wasn’t my brother from the same father, but at least he was from the same mother.”
"So if he wants the company, I won't fight for it."
He lay flat and looked up at Qiao Xu.
The reddened corners of her eyes made Qiao Xu's heart skip a beat.
She lowered her head and kissed his eyes: "Aren't you ashamed? You look ugly."
"The day you met me at the mall, Xu Shiran didn't have time to try on his dress, so he asked me to go in his place, and I agreed."
"Later, I met Shen Zhiwei and wanted to leave, but she called and said that as long as I accompanied her to try on wedding dresses and they got engaged, she would no longer care about me and you."
Who knew that his fiancée would still be him, but he would rather die than compromise.
Qiao Xu had no idea that this matter existed.
"sorry."
Xu Si'an raised his hand and pinched her chin: "You have a mouth but don't ask questions, and you have eyes but look around randomly."
"I'd rather you argue with me, call me a cheater, or call me a scumbag than tell me you don't love me."
Xu Si'an sat up and pinned her to the bed: "You know I've been going crazy since Cherry went missing."
"You actually sneaked back and stole the dog, but you didn't steal me too."
Qiao Xu pulled his neck down and coaxed him, "I wanted to steal it, but there's only a dog at home. I'm sorry, Xu Si'an."
Xu Si'an chuckled softly, "I forgive you."
"So, shall we make up now?"
Qiao Xu pouted and rolled her eyes twice: "I'll think about it."
"Still considering it?"
"Can I get an A?"
Qiao Xu shook her head: "No."
"You have to go to work tomorrow, Mr. Xu, you should get some sleep."
Qiao Xu pushed away the person on top of her and got out of bed, but as soon as her feet touched the ground, she was pulled back by her waist.
"where you go?"
"Go to sleep."
"We don't have guest rooms here, are you going to sleep in the doghouse?"
Qiao Xu smiled and said, "It's not impossible."
Xu Si'an's eyes widened: "I'm already like this, and you don't even have any pity for me?"
"How is it? It's fine, no missing limbs."
She deliberately poked the bruise on his face: "Isn't this kind of injury commonplace for you?"
Back in college, I often got into fights with He Yanxun.
"I have no family left, isn't that pitiful enough?"
Qiao Xu covered his eyes: "Then what should we do? How about I become your mother?"
Xu Si'an's expression changed drastically: "Don't mention this. Just hearing that word makes me want to vomit."
In the end, Xu Si'an couldn't bear to make her suffer, after all, she hadn't slept well last night and had taken a long flight, and hadn't adjusted to the time difference yet.
Three days later, when Qiao Xu was browsing Weibo online, she learned that Xu Si'an had sued Shen Zhiwei for spreading rumors.
Shen Zhiwei was detained for seven days.
Xuxing Group had several projects that had been agreed upon intercepted by Xu's Group.
Qiao Xu placed the black coffee on his desk: "Won't the head office blame you for the project being cut off?"
Xu Si'an beckoned to her, and Qiao Xu walked to his side where he pulled her into his arms: "Worried about me?"
"Don't worry, I've said it before, your man got this position because of his ability."
“The Xu family started to rot from the root after my father passed away. I will make Xu Shiran pay back double the amount of the orders he stole.”
Qiao Xu was a little worried: "But the Xu family business is your father's life's work."
Xu Si'an brushed his fingertip across her lips: "The person is dead, what's the point of having their blood and sweat? Anyway, it's not mine, so why not just ruin it?"
The phone on the table rang, and Qiao Xu stood up: "I'll go take care of my work first."
He grabbed her wrist and raised his chin: "I'll give you a kiss and you can leave."
"Stop fooling around, this is an office."
"This is my office. Hurry up, or I'll drag you into the lounge for the most primal human harmonious exercise."
Qiao Xu gave him a perfunctory kiss on the lips and was about to leave.
That scoundrel wasn't planning on letting her off so easily.
He held her head down and kissed her so hard that Qiao Xu almost suffocated before letting go of her.
Qiao Xu kicked him: "From now on, you'll have to beg me to let you into this office."
Xu Si'an licked his lips: "It's okay, I'll go to your side, you can lie on the table."
Qiao Xu: ······
In the assistant's office, the landline rang: "Assistant Qiao, a lady came to the front desk and said she was Mr. Xu's mother. Neither Mr. Xu's internal line nor Assistant Song's internal line were answered."
"This lady doesn't have an appointment, so we don't dare let her in. Could you please come down and escort her?"
Qiao Xu hesitated for a few seconds: "Okay, I'll go down."
Xu's mother was sitting on the sofa when she saw Qiao Xu coming out of the elevator. She rushed up to her and slapped Qiao Xu across the face unexpectedly.
The speed was so fast that the security guards and several receptionists didn't even have time to react.
"You little slut, you've seduced men all the way to the company. You shameless bitch, you acted all high and mighty when I paid you, but now you've climbed into your boss's bed."
"Today I'm going to show everyone in your company that this slut seduced my son, your CEO Xu."
"This position as president's assistant was obtained through sleeping around."
One receptionist stepped forward to stop the person, while another frantically called Assistant Song, but when no one answered, they called the secretary's office.
Upon hearing that Qiao Xu had been beaten, Ye Yurou rushed to the conference room without thinking twice.
Qiao Xu took out her phone from her pocket and made a call.
The other party answered immediately: "Qiao Qiao?"
"Xu Si'an, your stepmother hit me." It's just tattling, as if anyone can do that.
Xu Si'an left the conference room: "Fight back, Qiao Qiao."
When Xu's mother heard Qiao Xu call her a stepmother, she went up to hit her again: "You worthless slut who's been slept with by someone else! I raised him, and you dare to call me a stepmother!"
At first, Qiao Xu was caught off guard, but not now.
Qiao Xu grabbed her hand and used her mother's hand to slap her own face.
She thought it was dirty to type with her own hands.
With a loud "snap," the sound echoed in the air.
"Are you perhaps a hybrid? You're so fierce. Luckily, I've had a rabies vaccination."
"You dare call me a dog."
"As expected, he has no manners whatsoever after losing his parents."
Xu's mother's words completely ignited Qiao Xu's fuse. She reached out and grabbed Xu's mother's hair, slapping her left and right.
When Xu Si'an got out of the elevator, he saw that his mother's hand was about to grab Qiao Xu's face.
He quickly grabbed Xu's mother's hand and shook her off.
He pulled Qiao Xu into his arms and stroked her face with his palm.
"Are you all dead? Aren't you going to help?"
"Get the hell out of here, you all."
When Xu's mother first slapped Qiao Xu, her fingernails scratched Qiao Xu's cheek.
Xu Si'an's cold eyes revealed a fierce glint, filled with anger.
