As soon as Lu Zhuo and Lu Huan recovered from their shock, they hurriedly went forward to stop their mother, who was completely out of control. “Lu Feng, save your excuses. We’re getting divorced!” Zou Lan wept.

Lu Feng felt humiliated and angry when his wife tore his clothes in front of so many people. “What is wrong with you? Do you actually believe her lies? Don’t you have any sense of judgment?!”

Xu Jiaojiao looked at Lu Feng pitifully. “But I’m not lying. Don’t you remember the dress you bought at the mall for that pretty lady that day, Uncle? It cost more than 300,000 yuan.”

Zou Lan was even more furious to hear that. If Lu Zhuo and Lu Huan did not hold her from both sides, she would have launched her at Lu Feng by now.

“Xu Jiaojiao, that’s enough!” Lu Zhuo scolded her coldly. His gaze on Xu Jiaojiao darkened, and a complicated look flashed across his eyes.

Xu Jiaojiao blinked innocently and continued, “1 told you about what I saw, didn’t 1? I didn’t know you never told your mother.”

Zou Lan’s slightly plump body trembled violently. Tearful, she looked at her son in disbelief. “So you knew too? You helped them… You hid the truth from me!”

“Mom, don’t listen to her nonsense…” Lu Zhuo frowned, but he sounded guilty.

Zou Lan was not stupid. She knew what was going on when she saw him avoiding her gaze. She slapped Lu Zhuo hard. With tears in her eyes, she cried, “I worked so hard to raise you up, but you still lied to me for him…”

Seeing that things were about to get out of hand, Lu Feng snorted coldly and glared at Xu Jiaojiao before turning around and leaving. Lu Zhuo could not stay here any longer, either. He helped his mother walk toward the door and called out to his sister before leaving. “Huanhuan, let’s go home.”

“Alright.” Lu Huan reluctantly followed them, but her eyes were firmly locked onto Qi Shenbai who stood behind Xu Jiaojiao. There was a flash of shyness in her gaze.

Xu Jiaojiao frowned. She had already sensed that Lu Huan’s attitude was very strange. She was usually very sharp and mean, but she did not even say a word today. So this was why…

Xu Jiaojiao felt disgusted. She deliberately took a step forward, trying to shield Qi Shenbai with her body. ‘1 won’t let her stare at him! She has no right!’

When her small head suddenly appeared in front of Qi Shenbai, his gaze swept past her soft long hair. There were a few hairs on her head that stubbornly refused to stay down. The corners of his lips curled up, and there was an unmistakable smile in his eyes. He raised his hand and pressed down on the few strands of hair.

Xu Jiaojiao felt a sudden weight on her head. She raised her head to look at him, her clear eyes filled with confusion. Was he unhappy? Did he think she had gone too far?

Qi Shenbai did not know her imagination was running wild. His clean and long fingers gently stroked her black hair. The warmth of his fingertips touched her scalp with an unnoticeable gentleness.

Xu Jiaojiao felt the heat from his touch and quickly lowered her head, trying to hide the panic in her eyes. ‘Eek! Why are you looking at me so lovingly?!’

Xu Zhengyang could not stand it anymore. He slapped Qi Shenbai’s hand away and pulled the dazed Xu Jiaojiao back to his side. He then rubbed her little head randomly, causing the hair that Qi Shenbai had just smoothed down to stand up again. There, that was better.

Xu Jiaojiao tilted her head and looked at him exasperatedly. “What are you doing?”

Xu Zhengyang acted as if nothing had happened. When he looked at Qi Shenbai, he deliberately raised his eyebrows in provocation. Qi Shenbai’s expression did not change. The faint smile on the corner of his mouth was his response.

When Xu Zhiming and Tian Fanghua saw that the Lu family had left, they heaved a sigh of relief in unison. “Jiaojiao, how did you know that Lu Feng had a mistress outside?” Tian Fanghua asked curiously.

“1 bumped into them a few times when we were shopping.” Xu Jiaojiao knew her parents would ask, so she had already thought of an excuse. The truth was, she had seen it in her dream. She had even reminded Lu Zhuo tactfully, but Lu Zhuo had never taken her seriously. As an outsider, she did not want to meddle in other people’s business, so she never mentioned it again.

If the Lu family had not tried to push their luck this time, she would have kept this matter to herself.

Her brother was wrong to hit someone, but she was protective of him anyway. Besides, Lu Zhuo deserved to be beaten up!

“It was great to see them turning on each other!” Xu Zhengyan looked proud. “As expected of my sister. You’re so smart!”

Xu Jiaojiao smiled. “It was just a coincidence..”
