Chapter 590

Mother Qiao looked over at Han Ruchu's expression and smiled in embarrassment . She cleared her throat as a reminder for Qiao Anhao to avoid the taboo topic .

Qiao Anhao knew in her heart exactly what her aunt was suggesting, but she pretended to be ignorant . She turned her head and said in a natural tone, "I've filmed with Lu Jinnian . Because of his superb acting skills, he gave a me a lot of pressure . His mother was a celebrity, so I guess his skills were probably passed on from her . . . "

"Qiao Qiao!"

She couldn't mention Lu Jinnian, let alone his mother . Mother Qiao saw Han Ruchu's face gradually grow cold, and couldn't help but open her mouth to stop Qiao Anhao .

Qiao Anhao stared at mother Qiao innocently and waited for a while before looking as though she had suddenly realized something . "I forgot, Lu Jinnian's mother and Uncle Xu used to have . . . "

As she said that, Qiao Anhao suddenly stopped there and raised her hand to cover her mouth . Pretending to have spoken out of turn, she said, "Sorry, Aunt Xu, I didn't mean to . "

At that moment, the expression on Han Ruchu's face looked like it had already reached its limit .

Mother Qiao hurriedly turned her head and tried to calm Han Ruchu in a pleasant voice . "Ruchu, ever since Qiao Qiao was young, she always spoke before thinking . Don't take it to heart . "

The biggest thorn in Han Ruchu's heart was Lu Jinnian and his mother . At that very moment, on her birthday, for Qiao Anhao to actually bring up the fact that her husband betrayed her, it practically killed her mood in an instant . She was unbelievably annoyed inside, but with the Qiao family background behind Qiao Anhao, she couldn't get mad .

All she could do was force herself to smile, pretend to be generous, and act as though she didn't mind at all . "Why would I? I know Qiao Qiao didn't mean it . How could I be angry at her . . . "

When mother Qiao heard what Han Ruchu said, she immediately turned her head and told Qiao Anhao, "Qiao Qiao, quickly apologize to Aunt X . . . "

Qiao Anhao knew what mother Qiao wanted to say, but she didn't wait for her aunt to finish . She got up and beat her to it by saying, "I have to use the bathroom . "

Then, she didn't wait for anyone to react before making her way to the bathroom .

Mother Qiao, who only spoke half her sentence, could only smile at Han Ruchu and say, "I'm so sorry . I'll have to discipline her when we get back!"

"It's nothing . "

As she heard Han Ruchu's words, Qiao Anhao shut the bathroom doors . She leaned back against the wooden door and stood there for a while, then walked over to the sink . She stared at herself in the mirror with bone-piercing, cold eyes .

If it weren't for Han Ruchu's birthday, she definitely wouldn't have taken a single step through the Xu family doors .

The only reason she came today was to make Han Ruchu suffer .

Didn't she say "Happy birthday"?

Qiao Anhao gripped hard onto the cold sink and forcefully pursed the corner of her lips .

With knowledge of who killed her baby looming over her, how could she pretend that nothing had happened? Seeing her, did it really make her birthday happy?

–

When Qiao Anhao came out of the bathroom, the atmosphere in the living room had gone back to normal . There was a different channel on the TV and Qiao Anxia had hung up on her call .

Mother Qiao had probably felt apologetic for Qiao Anhao's indiscretion earlier, so she said some things that Han Ruchu liked to hear . Qiao Anxia was hugging a pillow and every now and then, she would add in a few words .

As for Xu Jiamu, he was still watching TV in a daze, as though they were still watching the same movie as before . He looked like he was in a trance, perhaps thinking of someone or something .
