"Slam!"
Xu Sheng smashed his teacup heavily at her feet.
Fortunately, Xu Qiaoqiao took a step back in time to avoid being hit.
Still, shards struck her legs. Despite the thick layers of her clothing, she could feel a faint pain where they hit.
She knitted her brows, only to see Xu Sheng standing up and cursing at her, "Xu Qiaoqiao, I can't believe you're such a person. Have you no shame?"
Liu Yingxue sat nearby, her hands resting on her not-yet-protruding belly. Hearing this, she sighed, "Alright, don't be so angry. As the saying goes, 'If the beam is not straight, the lower ones will go aslant'. Given her mother's behavior and growing up in an orphanage without any guidance..."
Xu Sheng was choked up, as he retorted, "Ruohua wasn't like that..."
He wanted to rebuke her, but catching a glimpse of her pregnant belly, he swallowed his words instead.
Liu Yingxue, flaunting her maternity, laughed, "Did I say something wrong?"
Xu Sheng fell silent.
