1233 Cooperating With Xi Xi’s Acting

Qiao Xi did not panic in the slightest and smiled indifferently. “a.s.sistant Gao, are you angry from embarra.s.sment? Are you panicking just because I told the truth? a.s.sistant Gao, do you think I came here today just to cause trouble and don’t have any evidence? Then I must say that you’re looking down on me.”

a.s.sistant Gao’s lips trembled violently as he stammered, “You… You were sent by our compet.i.tor. I know who you’re working for. If you dare to spout nonsense again, I’ll… call the police!”

“Call the police? Alright! a.s.sistant Gao, you can ask Miss Xia who I am and who my mother is!” Qiao Xi’s icy-cold gaze landed on Xia Mengyan.

a.s.sistant Gao instantly choked, and his heart trembled. Could it be that her ident.i.ty was very extraordinary?

“I know! Isn’t she Miss Qiao?” Suddenly, someone in the crowd said, “I saw her at the Qiao family’s banquet previously. She’s the daughter of Qiao Zhenguo’s first wife, Xia Yunqiu. In that case, she can be considered a member of the Xia family!”

Xia Yunqiu’s daughter?

If that were the case, Miss Qiao could be considered the daughter of the Xia family. Why did a.s.sistant Gao say that she was sent by a compet.i.tor?

Everyone subconsciously looked at Xia Mengyan. If Miss Qiao was Xia Yunqiu’s daughter, Xia Mengyan would definitely have recognized her long ago. Why didn’t she say so earlier?

Xia Mengyan’s face was pale, and her forehead was covered in cold sweat. She did not dare to rashly speak and could only roar helplessly in her heart. Qiao Xi was actually here! If it were not for that b*tch, Xia Yunlou, telling Qiao Xi about the collaboration between the Luo and Xia families, Qiao Xi wouldn’t have come! Qiao Xi had always hated Xia Yunlou. Wasn’t she afraid that Xia Yunlou would scheme against her?

These designs did belong to Xia Yunqiu, but that woman had been dead for so many years. Her things should belong to the Xia family. Now that they were working with the Luo family, it could be considered Xia Yunqiu’s contribution to the Xia family. This was her honor!

What right did Qiao Xi have to cause trouble here? What good would it do her to expose the Xia family?

Xia Mengyan gritted her teeth, and the resentment in her heart was about to overflow. However, no matter how much she hated Qiao Xi, she could not show it in front of everyone.

Under everyone’s burning gazes, she walked forward and smiled gently. “Everyone, I’m sorry. I didn’t have the time to introduce you. Miss Qiao is my younger cousin. She’s Aunt Yunlou’s—”

“I’m Madam Xia Yunqiu’s daughter!” Qiao Xi interrupted her without the slightest hesitation.

The moment the name Xia Yunqiu was uttered, everyone could not help but be stunned. Miss Xia was a beautiful woman! Unfortunately, beautiful women had short lives!

Qiao Xi said coldly, “These drawings are the blood, sweat, and tears of my mother, Xia Yunqiu. She spent days and nights thinking about how to draw them. Now, they’ve become Xia Ji’s work. I’m not here today to cause trouble. I just want to ask all of you if it’s reasonable for the Xia family to treat their legitimate deceased daughter like this while giving all the glory to their illegitimate child?”

Xia Mengyan’s body trembled, and the sweat on her forehead slid down her face. Her hair was stuck to her face, making her look a little disheveled. She pretended to be calm and said, “Xi Xi, you must have remembered wrongly. Aunt Yunqiu did do some designs, but they’re not the ones that we’re using to collaborate with the Lu family this time. Back then, my father and Aunt Yunqiu learned to design porcelain together. It’s just that he wasn’t as ambitious about it, so he put it aside all these years. Everyone in the Xia family knows that these designs belong to my father. If you don’t have evidence, don’t spout nonsense.”

“Miss Xia, why are you so sure that I don’t have any evidence?” Qiao Xi smiled coldly.

At this moment, Luo Qing got out of the car and met Gu Zheng at the entrance of Xia Corporation’s building. He greeted indifferently, “President Gu.”

Gu Zheng smiled. “Young Master Luo.”

The two of them stood together, and the surrounding temperature dropped a lot. After a few seconds of silence, Gu Zheng asked, “Young Master Luo, why are you here today?”

Luo Qing looked up with a glint in his eyes. “To cooperate with Xi Xi’s acting.”

Gu Zheng’s expression was slightly gloomy. Xi Xi’s other three brothers mostly called Qiao Xi ‘Little Six’, but only Luo Qing always called her ‘Xi Xi’.

For some reason, Gu Zheng’s heart ached. No matter what, Luo Qing was a man. He was such a n.o.ble and outstanding man too.

“Why are you here, President Gu here?” Luo Qing asked.

Gu Zheng narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Of course, for the same reason as Young Master Luo.”

Luo Qing looked up, and the two of them sized each other up before leaving without saying anything.

Song s.h.i.+jing asked curiously, “President, Young Master Luo is here to help Young Madam, so why are you…”
