Her knees were brutally scraped, and her tears fell in an instant. Many employees in the company witnessed this scene and, seeing her pitiful state, assumed Qin Miaomiao must have done something utterly heinous to her.
"Sister, I know you hate me. If doing this helps you vent your anger even a little, I’ll accept it. But please, I beg you, show some mercy to my father, won’t you?"
"Qin Sishui, with acting skills like yours, it’s such a waste you’re not in the film industry."
Qin Sishui’s intentions were exposed, yet she glanced at Lu Qing, biting her lip. As long as any man saw this scene, they’d surely take pity on her.
Her tearful eyes turned to Lu Qing, and she spoke in a delicate voice:
"Young Master Lu, my sister has deep misunderstandings about my dad. I can only plead to you now, Young Master Lu. My dad is innocent. Please save him! As long as you save him, I’ll do anything you want."
The last part of her words carried a subtle teasing undertone, and someone as sharp as Lu Qing could naturally catch the hidden implication in her statement.
Now that she’d managed to encounter Lu Qing, she had to use all her means to catch his attention.
Compared to Qin Miaomiao, she was younger and more beautiful. Don’t all men naturally feel drawn to delicate, vulnerable women?
She needed him to know that she was so much better than Qin Miaomiao!
Lu Qing cast a glance at her, and Qin Sishui was instantly thrilled. He looked at her! It seemed she had successfully caught his attention. Just now, when Qin Miaomiao pushed her, he must have thought she was a vicious, cold-hearted woman!
She gazed at him expectantly, waiting for him to reach out and help her up. She had even prepared the expression she would use to taunt Qin Miaomiao later.
Yet, in the next moment, all her dreams were utterly shattered.
"You’re in the way. Move aside."
His voice was so deep and alluring, yet the words he said were harsh and merciless, piercing her heart. She stared at him in disbelief. Did he not see her in such a pitiful state, pushed to the ground?
Did he feel not an ounce of sympathy for her?
She watched as Lu Qing grabbed Qin Miaomiao’s hand and walked right past her, as if she were something filthy!
Refusing to accept it, she shouted bitterly, "Sister! Are you really going to stand by and watch us perish? Why are you so cruel? After all, my father is your uncle! Our family raised you for so many years. Are you really going to repay kindness with betrayal?"
She deliberately yelled loudly to draw more attention from the company staff, turning the situation into a spectacle.
Some people even started whispering among themselves. For those unaware of the truth, witnessing this scene would certainly make them believe she was a heartless and ungrateful person.
Qin Miaomiao paused, turned her head to look at her, her expression chilly, her tone laced with mockery:
"Tell your dad to spit out the billions he embezzled from the company, then come talk to me. Let’s see — how many years do you think that money will earn him in prison?"
Qin Sishui was struck dumb with disbelief, too frightened to utter a single word. She realized Qin Miaomiao was dead serious!
If her father truly ended up in prison, it would spell complete ruin for her. She couldn’t let this happen!
She threw herself at Lu Qing desperately, only for him to disdainfully evade her, leaving her lunging at empty air and nearly falling over. She looked at Lu Qing filled with resentment, her delicate vulnerability only becoming more pronounced:
"Young Master Lu, I beg you, please convince my sister. We’re family! What kind of hatred could there possibly be that my father must be sent to prison?"
Lu Qing didn’t even glance at her. Instead, he said to Qin Miaomiao:
"Are you really going to waste your time on someone this nauseating?"
Qin Sishui’s face turned ghostly pale. Never before had anyone humiliated her !
