Chapter 1184 - 1184 You’re Fired If You Disobey
1184 You’re Fired If You Disobey
Qiao Xi raised her eyes coldly and glanced at the butler. “You’re really stupid. You actually haven’t figured out who your real master is!”
The butler was stunned and looked at Xia Mengyan in confusion.
When Qiao Xi saw this, she took out her phone and sent a message to the butler. The butler’s phone instantly rang. He looked at his phone and was shocked. “Y-You’re the owner of the Xia family’s residence?”
He ran to Qiao Xi and apologized crazily. Then, he glared angrily at the two of them. “Who are you?! How dare you pretend to be Miss Qiao?!”
Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan had embarra.s.sed expressions on their faces. After all, Xia Yunlou was the daughter of the Xia family. Now that she was being treated as a thief, she naturally felt terrible. She could only roar helplessly, “Qiao Xi! This is indeed your property, but I’m your biological mother! What’s yours is mine. Moreover, these things are all piled up in the storage room. You definitely don’t want them anymore, so we just want to take them away. Hurry up and explain to the butler. Don’t treat us as thieves!”
The butler was stunned. This woman was actually Miss Qiao’s mother? But the two of them did not look like mother and daughter at all!
Qiao Xi lazily leaned against the door, her eyes filled with coldness. “Butler, send the guests out!”
The butler was put in a difficult position. “Miss Qiao, uh…”
“What? You won’t listen to me?” Qiao Xi’s lips twitched as her entire body emitted a cold aura.
Qiao Xi’s words seemed to have slapped Xia Yunlou twice. She felt her cheeks burn as she roared indignantly, “Qiao Xi! What are you doing? Mengyan and I are just here to take a look. It’s fine if you don’t welcome us, but you actually want to chase us away. How can there be a daughter like you?”
Xia Yunlou shouted with a flushed face. She was so angry that she lacked oxygen and felt dizzy.
The butler stood in the middle, hesitating.
At this moment, Gu Zheng appeared behind Qiao Xi. He glanced indifferently at the butler and chuckled. “Xi Xi, this butler is taking your money but doesn’t listen to you!”
Qiao Xi said coldly, “If you won’t listen, you’ll be fired.”
The butler’s expression changed. This was a good job that was hard to find. He lived alone in a luxurious villa and did not have to serve a host. He only had to clean the place occasionally. The salary was very high, and he had a lot of freedom.
Miss Qiao wanted to fire him, but he could not lose this job. He hurriedly walked up to Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan and said loudly, “Ladies, since this isn’t your property, please leave immediately!”
The anger in Xia Yunlou’s heart surged. “Qiao Xi! I’m your biological mother! You actually want to chase me away? Look at the plaque outside. This place is called the Xia family’s residence. Mengyan and I both have the surname Xia. It’s only right for us to come here!”
This place was called the Xia family’s residence, but it was not Xia Yunlou’s. It was called the Xia family’s residence in memory of Qiao Xi’s deceased mother, Xia Yunqiu.
Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. “Madam Xia, since you think the name isn’t suitable, then let’s change it. From now on, let’s call it the Yin family’s residence. After all, my mother’s surname should have been Yin. Remember this clearly. This place has nothing to do with the Xia family. I hope you won’t be shameless enough to come over again.”
With that, she glanced around and saw the sh.e.l.l wind chime on the floor. Anger surged through her. She didn’t want to continue being entangled with these two.
“Madam Xia, you’re trespa.s.sing on private property. If you don’t leave now, I’ll call the police. At that time, the news of the two daughters of the Xia family being caught stealing will spread throughout Li City. I don’t think you want to see this outcome, right?”
The butler really did not understand. Since Madam Xia and Miss Qiao were mother and daughter, why were the two of them opposing each other?
Xia Yunlou was furious and roared, “Qiao Xi!”
Xia Mengyan raised her eyes slightly and carefully glanced at the cold Gu Zheng at the door. She clenched her fists tightly.
Why did Qiao Xi get to fulfill the Xia family’s arranged engagement? Gu Zheng was such an outstanding and handsome man. There were thousands of people who wanted to marry him, and she was naturally no exception. Everything she did was for the sake of pursuing true love. Gu Zheng would probably understand her.
Xia Mengyan said gently, “Xi Xi, we’re family. There’s no need to quarrel over such a small matter. Actually, I just wanted to see you.”
She noticed that Qiao Xi’s gaze had been on the sh.e.l.l wind chime on the ground. She had taken a look just now. That wind chime was not worth much. Although it looked quite beautiful, it was not made using any rare materials. However, Qiao Xi had always been paying attention to that sh.e.l.l wind chime. It was as if she had come to the Xia family’s residence for this sh.e.l.l wind chime.
