Rebirth of a Fashionista: This Life Is Soo Last Season

Chapter 26 - Ranking

"Tell me honestly: Who was that man that was going to hit you? What's your relation to him?"

After they'd left the Jiao Family's restaurant, Sheng Jiaoyang immediately started questioning Xu Qing.

From her daughter's willingness to protect her without the slightest hesitation, Xu Qing felt like she'd finally found a person to rely on. She could no longer treat her daughter as a child.

Her daughter had grown up, and some things couldn't be concealed anymore.

"He's your father," Xu Qing stated calmly.

Sheng Jiaoyang just blinked. Her mouth opened slightly as she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start.

To sum it up, the scumbag who she'd pushed to the ground was the biological father of this body?

"When your father and I divorced, I didn't know that I was pregnant with you. Actually, I didn't know about it for a while. Later, I was admitted into a hospital due to depression, and it was then that the doctor told me that I was pregnant. After finding out about you, I finally accepted the situation and moved on. I thought that no matter what, I had to give birth to you and raise you well."

"You didn't tell him?" Sheng Jiaoyang really couldn't understand Xu Qing's way of handling things. At the least, she could've been receiving child support from him. Seeing that man putting on airs, but also having a meal at the Jiao family's restaurant, he must have a lot of money, right?

"At first, I wanted to tell him, but he wouldn't agree to meet me at that time. Not long after, he married Jiang Yin."

"So, he married another woman right after divorcing you?"

Xu Qing nodded with a sad expression on her face.

"Scum!"

After Sheng Jiaoyang had calmed down, she couldn't help but ask, "You must've been beautiful when you were younger, so why did you stay with someone like that?"

"He was my senior. At that time, he was very good to me. He was a meticulous and caring person, and also very popular at school. My classmates envied me." A smile graced Xu Qing's face as she recalled her good memories.

Sheng Jiaoyang listened in silence. As people once said, one must guard against fire, theft, and senior brothers.

"When he was about to go away for an internship, he proposed to me. He said that he wanted to solidify our relationship, and I agreed."

"Wait, wait! You mean, you two got a marriage certificate before you had even graduated?"

"Yes."

"It sounds like he couldn't wait to marry you. Since he liked you so much at that time, why'd he change later on?"

Xu Qing's expression was gloomy, and she said with sadness, "He gradually changed after he started working. He would constantly go to dinner parties that would last until the early hours of the morning, so I tried to persuade him not to push himself too hard. When this happened, he became angry. Later on, he no longer told me anything about his work. One day, I went to a party with my classmates, and we were back quite late. When I arrived back to where we lived, I saw him sitting in Jiang Yin's car. They..."

After speaking until here, Xu Qing suddenly stopped. The scene that she didn't describe was obviously a significant blow to her.

Needless to say, Sheng Jiaoyang understood.

She understood how Xu Qing would've felt at that time. She saw the man she loved being affectionate with another woman right in front of her, and her heart probably felt like it fell into a pit of eternal suffering. She'd only ever loved her husband, yet she saw him having an affair.
