Chapter 1284 - 1284 Selfish Heir
1284 Selfish Heir
Xia Mengyan’s pure and gentle image completely collapsed. Her former fans trampled all over her. All her contracts and endorsements were canceled overnight. She also needed to compensate a huge sum of money for the breach of contract. Everyone knew that Xia Mengyan had framed her cousin and even destroyed the porcelain sculpture given by the Luo family. Whoever worked with her would be going against the Luo family. Naturally, they did not want to have anything to do with her.
At this moment, the Xia family was like drowning dogs. The company was in danger. What worried Xia Cheng even more was now that they had offended the Luo family and the others in Li City could step on them, how could they survive?
Xia Mengyan screamed, “No! I don’t want to go back to Shengdu! If I go back now, everyone will look down on me!
“Grandpa, save me! I can’t go back like this. I might as well die!”
As she spoke, Xia Mengyan threw her phone on the ground like a lunatic. Xia Yunlou picked it up and looked at it. It was filled with curses from the netizens. They said that Xia Mengyan was vicious and pretentious. They also said that Qiao Xi was a hundred times better than her. Normal people would choose Qiao Xi, while only the fools of the Xia family would choose Xia Mengyan.
Xia Mengyan had been pampered since she was young. She was smart, and everyone in the Xia family doted on her. At a young age, she became an internationally famous perfumer. She was a top socialite with countless fans and was the goddess in everyone’s hearts. However, now that all her dirt had been exposed, she would naturally be exposed if she still called herself the ‘Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor’. She had fallen from heaven to hell in an instant. Of course, she could not accept it.
Xia Yunlou was also very haggard with a sad face. “Dad, quickly think of a way. You have to help Mengyan! She’s still so young. If she has to bear this infamy in the future, her life will be completely ruined.”
“Shut up!” Xia Cheng roared angrily, then turned to look at Xia Mengyan. His eyes were bloodshot, and he was like a crazy beast. “Xia Mengyan, you’re still thinking about your reputation? I thought that Qiao Xi had ill intentions and wanted to destroy the Xia family. I never expected that you would be the one to destroy the Xia family in the end!”
Xia Yunlou immediately retorted, “Qiao Xi framed—”
“Qiao Xi did scheme against you, but if you hadn’t done it, Qiao Xi’s plan would’ve failed?
“All these years, I’ve carefully nurtured you to be the successor of the Xia family. I didn’t expect you to be an idiot who only cares about yourself! For your own selfishness, you ignored the Xia family’s interests? Are you still worthy of being the successor of the Xia family?”
Xia Cheng knew that if Xia Mengyan had not wanted to frame Qiao Xi, those events wouldn’t have unfolded. In the end, it was because she was too selfish. For her own selfish desires, she did not hesitate to put the entire Xia family at stake.
Now that everyone in the Xia family was implicated, she only cared about her reputation and future. She had never considered how the others would suffer and whether the Xia family’s company would go bankrupt.
Why were the two heirs he had spent so many years nurturing so useless? Xia Ji was useless, and so was Xia Mengyan.
Xia Mengyan explained in a panic, “Grandpa, it’s not like that. I…”
Ai Sumei couldn’t stand it anymore and retorted anxiously, “How can you blame Mengyan? If you had let Mengyan be in charge earlier, everything wouldn’t have happened.”
Xia Mengyan’s eyes were filled with fear as she hid behind Xia Ji and Ai Sumei. She did not feel that she was in the wrong at all. What was wrong with taking back her position? If she succeeded, the opening ceremony of New City Mall would not have been affected at all and the Xia family would not have offended the Luo family.
If they had to blame someone, it would be Qiao Xi. If she hadn’t schemed against the Xia family, they wouldn’t have ended up like this.
Ai Sumei was still unconvinced. She tugged on Xia Cheng’s sleeve and said, “Ah Cheng, you must help Mengyan this time. Mengyan is the hope of the Xia family. She’s an internationally famous perfumer. If her reputation is ruined, we’ll have no hope at all.
“Don’t forget that she’s the heir of the Xia family! No matter what the price is, we have to protect Mengyan!”
Xia Cheng’s eyes were filled with disappointment. He glanced at Ai Sumei and Xia Ji, feeling a strong sense of powerlessness.
At this moment, he was filled with regret. Why did he get a divorce because of Ai Sumei back then? Ai Sumei’s looks and intelligence were clearly far inferior to Yin Lianxin’s. She was not even qualified to compare to Yin Lianxin. But back then, he was obsessed and ruined his originally happy marriage for this stupid woman.
