1229 The Xia Family’s Secret Is About To Surface
The Yin and Xia families had cut off all contact for decades, but Old Madam Yin had always been thinking of Xia Yunlou. She suspected that the one in the public eye was not her real daughter, but she did not have any evidence. If the real Xia Yunlou was found and this matter was made public, the Yin and Xia families would become enemies. At that time, the Xia family’s situation would be very difficult.
Xia Yunlou, who was hiding in the dark, probably hoped to see this scene.
Qiao Xi kept having the feeling that her guess was logical. It was as if someone had left clues for her to investigate. If that person really existed, why didn’t they come forward and expose all of this themselves?
“Little Six.” In the living room of Longwan Residential, Shen Yu was leaning against the sofa. When he saw her return, he said with a smile, “Did Xia Yunlou go to the company to look for you?”
Qiao Xi sized up Shen Yu.
That was right! He Weinian was also like a smiling tiger. He was exactly the same as her eldest brother, but her eldest brother was a Best Actor while He Weinian was just a businessman!
Seeing that she was silent, Shen Yu was a little surprised, but there was still a gentle smile on his lips. “Little Six, what are you thinking about? Why aren’t you saying anything?”
Luo Qing glanced at him: “…” ‘Why does Xi Xi despise Eldest Brother so much today?’
He was silent for a few seconds, and his cold eyes gradually became gentle. His deep eyes were like clear springs. “Xi Xi, everything is ready.”
Qiao Xi looked at Luo Qing and could not help but sigh in her heart. Among the siblings, the eldest brother was clearly cunning and sinister, but he pretended to be gentle. The third brother would bring out a knife and a gun at the slightest disagreement, but he became a doctor. The fourth brother liked poison, but he became an artist. Xue Yi had a bad temper, but she was a gentle socialite.
As for her…
She was even better at pretending!
Among the six of them, only Second Brother was normal. He was like a god in heaven. His eyes were clear, and his temperament was cold. It was as if nothing could move him.
Now that everything was ready, it was time for her to carry out her plan.
This collaboration between the two families was actually facilitated by her. Her goal was to expose Xia Yunlou’s identity and reproduce the designs her mother left behind.
She indeed did not have any evidence, but even without evidence, she could use public opinion. When a group of people began to suspect Xia Yunlou’s identity, the Xia family’s secret could not be kept anymore.
In the Xia family’s villa.
Xia Cheng paced in the living room with a gloomy expression. Xia Ji and Old Madam Xia sat at the side with livid expressions.
“Yunlou, I asked you to go to the company because I wanted you to persuade Qiao Xi to hand over the designs in her hand. Why did you ask her to be in charge of the docking? This time, it’s a collaboration with the Tang family. What ability does she have to be in charge of such a large collaboration? What if she screws up? I think it’s safer to have Mengyan do it.” Xia Cheng frowned unhappily.
Old Madam Xia suddenly cried out, “Everyone is saying that Mengyan isn’t the legitimate daughter of the Xia family and that my son is an illegitimate child! All these years, Mengyan has suffered so many grievances and slander! She’s clearly so outstanding and hardworking, but she’s still being gossiped about by outsiders! Yunlou! You’re Mengyan’s… aunt! Why are you helping that wild girl?”
Madam Xia, who was ignored by everyone, sat in a corner. Her gaze changed imperceptibly.
In the eyes of outsiders, Qiao Xi was Xia Yunlou’s biological daughter, while Xia Mengyan was only Xia Yunlou’s niece. What was wrong with her helping her daughter?
Madam Xia lowered her head and tried her best to reduce her presence, but her eyes were clear. The Xia family’s secret was finally about to surface.
Seeing Old Madam Xia’s tears, Xia Yunlou explained aggrievedly, “I did go to look for Qiao Xi for the designs. I don’t understand why I said those words either.”
Old Madam Xia’s voice was sharp. “Although Qiao Xi is your biological daughter, she’s been wandering outside all these years and has no feelings for you at all. Mengyan grew up by your side. Think about it carefully. Who exactly should you help?”
A few days ago, the Luo family came to visit and asked to collaborate with Xia Yunqiu. However, Xia Yunqiu had long died, so the Luo family suggested that the Xia family choose someone to represent Xia Yunqiu.
The Luo family was the head of the four major porcelain families and was famous in high society. In the past, the Luo family had lived on Xuan Island for generations and did not interact with outsiders. Hence, it was a great honor for the Xia family to be able to build a relationship with the Luo family. Now that the Luo family had personally come to ask for collaboration, Xia Cheng naturally could not let go of this good opportunity.
However, Xia Yunqiu’s designs had already been destroyed by Ai Sumei and Xia Yunlou. There were only fragments left. They really did not have the ability to restore them.
