1272 Big Brother Is Indeed The Best Actor
“This is the family head’s porcelain sculpture?” Suddenly, Mr. Luo’s tone was sharp. His gentle and elegant face was filled with coldness. He looked at Xia Mengyan coldly and repeated, “Are you sure this is the family head’s porcelain sculpture?”
Xia Mengyan, who had been lowering her head to control her joy, did not notice that something was wrong. Instead, she replied with a smile, “I’m sure. It was given to me by an apprentice of the head of the family.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the air was filled with a trace of coldness. Mr. Luo’s expression was filled with anger. Xia Cheng realized that something was wrong and hurriedly went forward. “Mr. Luo…”
Xia Cheng looked at Mr. Luo’s gloomy expression but did not dare to speak. The surroundings were silent. Everyone held their breaths. No one dared to make a sound, afraid that they would anger this big shot.
Qiao Xi stood in the corner and could not help but chuckle.
Eldest Brother was indeed the Best Actor! He was too immersed in his role!
Under Mr. Luo’s burning gaze, Xia Mengyan felt that she was about to suffocate. She did not know what was wrong. Why was Mr. Luo so angry when he saw the porcelain sculpture? Wasn’t this what Luo Chenjiu had given her? Moreover, when Luo Chenjiu handed the porcelain sculpture to her, there were many members of the Luo family around. They had all seen this scene and confirmed Luo Chenjiu’s identity. Moreover, the Luo family had no reason to frame her!
Xia Mengyan’s mind was filled with doubts. She could not think of a reason.
Immediately after, Mr. Luo suddenly said coldly, “Miss Xia, I’ll give you another chance. Where did this porcelain sculpture come from?”
Such a sharp voice made Xia Mengyan come back to her senses. She was so nervous that her teeth were chattering. Under everyone’s suspicious gazes, she slowly said, “Mr. Luo, this porcelain sculpture was given to me by an apprentice of the Luo family.”
The next second, Mr. Luo’s expression suddenly darkened as he berated angrily, “Alright! Does your Xia family even take our Luo family seriously? How dare you pass off a fake as the head of the family’s work?!”
The surroundings were deathly silent. Everyone instantly widened their eyes. Xia Mengyan was so scared that her entire body was trembling, and her face was as pale as paper.
Xia Cheng instantly choked and hurriedly gestured for the reporters to stop the live broadcast. However, the reporters suddenly realized that the cameras could not be switched off. The scene just now was also recorded.
“Miss Xia, please give me a reasonable explanation!” Mr. Luo’s voice was cold.
Xia Mengyan lowered her head and trembled.
Xia Cheng quickly went forward and said respectfully, “Mr. Luo, this crabapple porcelain sculpture was really sent by the Luo family’s head to Mengyan. Mengyan would never lie. She cares so much about the Xia family. How could she watch the Xia family lose our reputation?”
Mr. Luo glanced at Xia Cheng impatiently and sneered. “Chairman Xia, I thought that the Xia family cherished this collaboration very much. Now, it seems that you don’t care about this rare opportunity at all.”
“Mr. Luo, this is all a misunderstanding. Listen to me…”
Before Xia Cheng could finish, Mr. Luo interrupted sharply, “If you were really keen on this collaboration, you would have done an investigation. You’d then find out that the madam was allergic to crabapple, so you won’t be able to find a single crabapple on the entire Xuan Island. It’s even more impossible for the head of the family to carve a crabapple. If you’ve seen Madam Xia’s designs, you should know very well that she referenced hundreds of different kinds of flowers for her patterns, but there’s no crabapple. Hence, this porcelain sculpture can’t have been carved by the head of the family!”
The moment that was said, everyone was stunned, and their ears buzzed.
It was absolutely impossible for the head of the Luo family to carve a crabapple tree. Where did this porcelain sculpture come from?
Mr. Luo looked at Xia Cheng with a sharp gaze. Xia Cheng was so scared that his forehead was covered in a cold sweat. It had to be known that if he offended the Luo family, the Xia family would definitely not have a good ending. Of course, he was afraid.
Even though he was used to facing big conflicts in the past, this was the first time he was discussing a collaboration with such a powerful family. As long as this collaboration succeeded, not only would Xia Corporation be able to escape from their predicament but the Xia family would also become a new noble family in Li City. He had been worried about this collaboration for many days. Unexpectedly, something went wrong at this critical moment.
However, why would Mengyan lie to them? Mengyan was focused on the Xia family. She would never do such a stupid thing!
Xia Cheng was silent for a moment before his emotions finally stabilized. “Mr. Luo, Mengyan did bring this porcelain sculpture back from the Luo family’s villa.”
Xia Mengyan could not help but nod, feeling a little more confident. That day, it was Luo Chenjiu who called her and asked her to go to the Luo family’s villa. Perhaps Mr. Luo remembered wrongly and it wasn’t crabapple that the madam of the Luo family was allergic to?
