Chapter 1230 - 1230 Ah Zheng, Is There Something Wrong With You Today?
1230 Ah Zheng, Is There Something Wrong With You Today?
When Xia Cheng heard this news, he was angered to the point of almost fainting. Then, he recalled that Qiao Xi still had some of the designs in her hands. The Luo family wanted to reproduce Xia Yunqiu’s designs, so Qiao Xi had no reason to refuse. That was why he asked Xia Yunlou to persuade Qiao Xi to give them the designs.
Who knew that Xia Yunlou would actually let Qiao Xi compete for the position of person in charge? If Qiao Xi became the person in charge, what would Mengyan do?
Xia Cheng thought for a moment and said, “Qiao Xi cares about Yunqiu the most. When she finds out that the Luo family is willing to produce Yunqiu’s work, she’ll definitely not refuse. I’ll talk to her in two days. She’ll definitely agree.”
However, why couldn’t he go tomorrow? It was because the Luo family would come to the Xia family to discuss a collaboration tomorrow. It was best if Qiao Xi didn’t appear. If she really came, he would definitely chase Qiao Xi out. As the head of the Xia family, wasn’t it reasonable for him to chase an outsider away?
…
The next day, at seven in the morning.
After breakfast, Gu Zheng took a sip of coffee. His entire body exuded nobility and elegance. He looked at Qiao Xi, who was at the table, and asked softly, “I happen to be going to discuss business today. I’ll send you to Xia Corporation later.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “President Gu, you have so many subordinates. Do you need to personally discuss business?”
The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth twitched. His voice was gentle, but it carried unyielding insistence. “Xi Xi, I’ll send you there.”
In the car, the man had a smile on the corners of his mouth. After the car stopped below Xia Corporation, Qiao Xi was just about to get out of the car when she was grabbed by the man.
His tall body suddenly approached her as he muttered in her ear, “Xi Xi, if you’ve been wronged in the Xia family, you must tell me. I’ll avenge you.”
Qiao Xi’s mind was filled with question marks. She kept having the feeling that Gu Zheng was acting so strangely today. What was wrong with him?
Gu Zheng was acting like a gentleman, and his gaze was tightly glued to Qiao Xi.
Qiao Xi: “…!!!” Why did she feel that he was a little scary?
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi frowned and asked seriously, “Ah Zheng, is there something wrong with you today?”
The smile on Gu Zheng’s face froze: “…”
He should not have trusted Song Shiyu, but Song Shijing had agreed to this idea! They were indeed brothers. They were both so unreliable. What bad ideas did they come up with?!
Qiao Xi sized up Gu Zheng with a subtle expression and stretched out her weak and fair hand to touch his head.
The corners of Gu Zheng’s mouth twitched slightly. “It looks like the Luo family is about to arrive.”
Qiao Xi immediately opened the car door. “Then I’ll get going first.”
Gu Zheng pursed his lips and suddenly said, “Xi Xi, you can wait in the car for a while. You can go in when the Luo family comes.”
Qiao Xi smiled noncommittally. “Ah Zheng, don’t you understand me? You should know very well what I’m thinking! I’m not afraid of those people from the Xia family. They can go ahead and use whatever tricks they have.”
Gu Zheng curled his lips into a smile. “As long as you don’t suffer, you can do whatever you want. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility for you.”
Qiao Xi nodded obediently and waved at Gu Zheng before turning to leave.
Gu Zheng sat in the car and watched her leave. The smile on his face gradually disappeared. He asked coldly, “Have they arrived?”
Song Shijing appeared outside the window and replied respectfully, “They’re here, President.”
Gu Zheng played with a sharp dagger in his hand while exuding strong killing intent. “Alright, I want to see what they want.”
…
At Xia Corporation.
Cooperating with the Luo family was an important matter. Xia Cheng took it very seriously, so he had already instructed someone to prepare for it. He even redecorated the lobby.
It had to be known that the Luo family was an existence that many noble families looked up to. If the Xia family could get close to the Luo family this time, all the noble families in Li City would think highly of them.
Xia Yunlou sat on the chair and fell into deep thought. She suddenly recalled something. Previously, when Qiao Xi and Xu Anran were holding their respective birthday parties on the same day, someone with the surname Luo had come to celebrate Qiao Xi’s birthday.
When all the guests heard that the young master of the Luo family had personally come to celebrate Qiao Xi’s birthday, they ran from Xu Anran’s birthday party to Qiao Xi’s birthday party.
Could it be that the Luo family Qiao Xi knew was the same Luo family?
At this moment, Qiao Xi was standing at the door of the living room with the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile. It was a good thing that the Luo family wanted to produce the designs her mother left behind, but this glory belonged to her mother and had nothing to do with the Xia family.
All these years, the Xia family had always been covering up their crimes. After a long time, they probably did not even remember their past actions. Hence, Qiao Xi directly joined forces with the Luo family to set a trap for the Xia family to fall into.
