------------------
" What are you screaming for?" Mo Qiang felt like her ears were going to become useless because of Lian Shou's scream. On the other side, Yu Hai who was cooking inside the small kitchen in the laboratory immediately rushed out while holding a spatula and an apron tied to his waist.
He thought that his daughter was getting attacked by something but when he saw that it was just Mo Qiang, he heaved a sigh of relief. Yu Hai was a simple mer, in his eyes, his wife was in the wrong. She not only betrayed the country but she also joined hands with enemies to bring Mo Qiang and her family down.
With this matter alone, he and his daughter should have been executed by the imperial star but Mo Qiang was kind enough to let them continue their lives and even gave them a place to stay. As for everything that was taken away from them, it never belonged to them in the first place. More importantly, as long as his daughter was all right, Yu Hai did not care about anything.
" Oh it is you, Miss Qiang, would you like to eat some horned snake ribs? I bought it from the black market this morning," Yu Hai chirpily invited Mo Qiang to lunch causing Lian Shou to look at her father as if he had gotten mad. How could he even invite this woman to lunch? Was he not worried that she would not be able to stomach her meal?
Thus before Mo Qiang could refuse, Lian Shou immediately shook her head and then shouted, " NO!"
Her sudden refusal caused Yu Hai and Mo Qiang to look at her, while Yu Hai's eyes were full of reprimand, Mo Qiang on the other hand was smiling but she had used her other hand to knot Lian Shou's hair in her hand causing the latter to go stiff.
" Shou'er, you shouldn't treat our benefactor like that, have you forgotten? It's because of Miss Qiang that you can continue with your education," Yu Hai rebuked his daughter who was in tears because of her hair being pulled by Mo Qiang.
She wanted to tell her father that this woman was a devil who should be chased out of the house with a stake instead of being invited to lunch but she knew that Yu Hai was not going to listen to her. Who knew what kind of drug Mo Qiang fed to her father but he was only willing to sing her praises now, in fact even she couldn't compare to Mo Qiang in his heart anymore.
If not for the fact that Yu Hai was an average-looking mer with a great background, Lian Shou would have thought that Mo Qiang was her father's daughter and she was someone whom her parents picked up from the roadside!
It was just that Mo Qiang's facial features were too good looking and she had no such thing as 'average' on her face which made Lian Shou rest assured that Yu Hai gave birth to her and not Mo Qiang!
" Thank you, Master Yu. You are such a sweetheart but I am in a hurry, so I will not be having lunch at your place…" Mo Qiang refused Yu Hai's invite but for the sake of making sure that she maintained her sweet and kind image in his eyes, she smiled politely at Yu Hai and praised, " You are looking dashing Master Yu. Did you cut your hair? It suits you. If I was twenty years younger, I would have chased after you."
Mo Qiang knew that no matter whether it was a woman or a mer, everyone liked getting praised for their looks, especially those who cared about their appearance a lot. Yu Hai also liked to dress up and took special care of his skin, thus when Mo Qiang praised his looks, he flushed with embarrassment and gushed,
" Oh you…you really have a tongue of gold, don't you? It's fine if you don't have time to eat, I will pack some ribs for you—— make sure to eat at home," After getting praised by a good-looking woman, Yu Hai was quite satisfied and went back to the kitchen while humming a merry song.
