Chapter 58
Qiao Mu was left speechless. This person was really pushing her buttons!
He was clearly protecting her from Lu Jingzhi before, and that familiar feeling only lasted for a while before he turned into the cold uncle in the blink of an eye!
Qiao Mu endured the annoyance in her heart as she mumbled with a soft voice, “I didn’t come to the wrong house! I’m here for you!”
“To ask me to handle your terrible mess?”
“Mm-hmm!”
“But I was also there when it happened. I saw you making mistakes and almost letting others take advantage of you with my own eyes. The person who reported you didn’t falsely accuse you. You did do something wrong, and it’s right for the university to punish you.”
Qiao Mu was left speechless. He was clearly the bastard who took advantage of her!
“Also, I’m not your guardian. Although I’m ten years older than you, do you think I’m old enough to be your parent?”
Qiao Mu was at a loss of words.
Qiao Mu was certain now that the man was picking faults with her!
He was absolutely doing this on purpose!
His taunting and arrogant attitude made her extremely furious, but she did not have the guts to just turn away and leave. Her rationality was telling her that if she just left in a huff, she would close the door on her last solution.
She did not have any other solutions apart from him.
Qiao Mu hung her head in silence as she pouted upsetly, and she appeared extremely pitiful.
She never made any mistakes since young not because she was naturally thoughtful and obedient, but because she did not want to taint her father’s reputation. Her existence had already smeared her father’s past. Her father had blatantly ignored her and left her with her birth mother to survive on their own. But he still brought her back to the Qiao family under pressure.
Regardless of how pleased Yu Tingyun and her daughter would be, how upset and disappointed her father would be if this incident was blown out of proportion?
…..
The young woman standing before him seemed like she had suffered an immense grievance. She appeared pitiful as she bit her lip in silence with tears welling up in her eyes.
Li Yan slightly squinted as his deep black eyes darkened a little. There was an undetectable emotion hidden deep within his eyes.
He sighed and he sounded less indifferent, “Why are you acting upset in front of me? Am I the one who bullied you?”
“You don’t want to help me!” Her voice sounded like he was making a huge mistake by not helping her.
“Should I help when anyone just comes and asks for my help? If that’s the case, I would have died of exhaustion now!”
“It’s fine if you don’t want to help me, but you’re actually adding salt to my wound!”
“I’m just being truthful.”
Qiao Mu was speechless. Alright, Qiao Mu did not want to argue with him any further. She definitely would not get the upper-hand in arguing with him anyway!
She took a step forward and sat down next to him, as she lightly stroked him, “Uncle, I’m not just a random person. I’m your woman.”
Li Yan glanced at her, “You only remember that you’re mine after you get yourself into trouble?”
“All the time!”
“Stop being upset and feigning pity in front of me!”
“But I’m truly upset!”
Li Yan’s expression was cold as usual, and his voice sounded indifferent, “Qiao Mu, don’t think that I’ll help you unconditionally.”
Qiao Mu was stunned as she suddenly felt a sadness in her heart. Back then, he used to treat her unconditionally well. He would always take her side and protect her.
But it was different now!
She nodded, “I know, so I’ll give you whatever you want.”
He instantly narrowed his black eyes, “You’ll give? Apart from your body, what else can you give to me?”
“I’ll give it to you!” She made the decision and nodded with her teeth clenched tightly together.
But just as she finished saying that, the handsome face before her darkened. It was as if the word “angry” was clearly written across his face.
Did she say something wrong again?
Qiao Mu thought for a second before saying, “I won’t give it to you!”
But his expression was still very pissed.
Qiao Mu was somewhat at a loss. She did not know what to do anymore. It was wrong to give him what he wanted, but it was also wrong to withhold what he wanted from him. What was she going to do?
