1263 Real And Fake Gifts
After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi suddenly sneered. “Miss Xia, you’re quite self-aware. You know that everyone is here to see the Luo family’s porcelain sculpture, not to attend the mall’s opening ceremony.”
The moment that was said, the surroundings instantly fell silent. Mr. Hao, who wanted to see the porcelain sculpture just now, hurriedly took a few steps back. He did not want to participate in the war between these two women.
Although Miss Qiao’s words were harsh, it was indeed the truth! It was just that Miss Qiao was really disrespectful to say this in front of Miss Xia!
As expected, Xia Mengyan’s expression darkened, but she quickly recovered her gentle expression and showed a smile on her lips. “Xi Xi, stop fooling around. This porcelain sculpture is very important to the Xia family. Nothing must go wrong when you display it later…”
Before she could finish, Qiao Xi glanced coldly at her and left without turning her head.
Xia Mengyan stood on the spot and gritted her teeth. The resentment in her eyes was about to overflow.
What right did she have to be so arrogant? The Luo family had already given the porcelain sculpture to her, but Qiao Xi was stopped outside the Luo family’s door for being a liar. She had clearly been abandoned and did not have the porcelain sculpture in her hands. What right did she have to show off here?
As Luo Qing was not in Li City, he would not come back to stand up for Qiao Xi. What right did she have to be so arrogant?
Wait!
Xia Mengyan was suddenly stunned for a moment. The important figures of the Luo family had already left Li City, and the Luo family would not attend the Xia family’s opening ceremony. Hence, Qiao Xi probably thought that no one would notice if she made do with a fake porcelain sculpture. After all, no one had seen the porcelain sculpture before, so no one had the right to suspect her.
However, Xia Mengyan knew very well in her heart that the porcelain sculpture was not in Qiao Xi’s hands.
She suddenly smiled. Even the heavens were helping her. Yesterday, she thought of the possibility that Qiao Xi would pretend to pass off a random sculpture as the real gift, but with Qiao Xi’s character, she would not do such a risky thing. However, if the Luo family was not around, Qiao Xi would naturally choose this method. This might be her only way.
Alright! Then she would wait and see. She wanted to see Qiao Xi’s reputation be ruined with her own eyes and watch her fall into a sorry state!
Xia Mengyan looked at Qiao Xi’s back and revealed a vicious smile.
Everyone knew that the Luo family agreed to collaborate with Xia Corporation this time because of Xia Yunqiu. Since the news had already spread, there was no need for Xia Cheng to hide it from everyone.
There were not supposed to be so many business giants and famous families attending the opening of New City Mall, but when everyone heard that the Luo family had given the Xia family a porcelain sculpture, they all wanted to see it with their own eyes. Moreover, they had already confirmed with Miss Xia that the porcelain sculpture was in Miss Qiao’s hands.
On the other hand, in the lounge of the mall, Xia Ji asked expectantly, “Mengyan, are you sure you can ruin Qiao Xi’s reputation today and even take back her authority as the person in charge?”
Xia Mengyan smiled confidently. “Dad! I’m sure. She can’t escape this time!”
“The position of the person in charge is yours to begin with. It was Qiao Xi who interfered and caused you to suffer. Now, everyone is saying that you’re the daughter of an illegitimate child. The Luo family doesn’t like you and isn’t willing to let you be the person in charge. But Qiao Xi just relied on the fact that she’s Xia Yunqiu’s adopted daughter to get the position! What else does she have besides this identity? As for the Luo family’s porcelain sculpture—”
Xia Ji said indignantly. Before he could finish, Xia Mengyan interrupted him with a smile. “Dad, don’t be anxious. The Luo family’s porcelain sculpture is with me.”
Xia Ji suddenly widened his eyes and looked at Xia Mengyan in disbelief. “Didn’t Qiao Xi say that the porcelain sculpture is with her? Mengyan, what exactly is going on?”
Xia Mengyan explained the situation and said with a smile, “Dad, I originally planned to make a fake sculpture for Qiao Xi. Unexpectedly, she fell into a trap without me doing anything. Because the Luo family chased her away, she couldn’t get the porcelain sculpture, so she made a fake.
“The real porcelain sculpture has always been with me. When she’s exposed in public for bringing out a fake, I’ll step forward to save the situation and show the real porcelain sculpture.”
Xia Mengyan said with a proud expression, “At that time, the shareholders will naturally compare me to Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi is the person in charge who embarrassed the Xia family, while I’m the heir who helped the Xia family regain their dignity. At that time, who will the shareholders and higher-ups help? Will she still have the cheek to continue being the person in charge?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yunlou walked in tiredly. “Mengyan, have you told Qiao Xi?”
When Xia Mengyan saw her, she hurriedly frowned and replied dejectedly, “Aunt, I wanted to tell Sister too, but she ignored me.”
