1245 The Imposter’s Daughter
Xia Ji’s face was pale and so were his lips. He staggered forward. “Dad…”
“No! No, I don’t accept it!” Old Madam Xia finally reacted and shouted crazily. The proud expression on her face instantly turned to shock and anger. She roared in the lobby without caring about her image.
Her expression was vicious, making her old face even more terrifying. She opened her mouth and shouted, “No! These designs belong to Xia Ji. That b*tch is already dead, so why bother putting her name there? This honor belongs to Xia Ji. If the name on those designs is changed to Xia Yunqiu’s name, what will Xia Ji do? How will he raise his head in the future? Xia Cheng! Are you going to watch us die?”
Luo Qing’s gaze landed on her as he sneered. His sneer was not loud, but it scared everyone.
Ai Sumei did not think too much about it. She only knew that if they changed the name on the designs to Xia Yunqiu’s name, Xia Ji would be infamous. She would also lose her reputation. Most importantly, it would be difficult for Xia Ji to sit in the position of the head of the family.
She did not care about what would happen to Xia Corporation. She only cared about her son. She wanted her son to become the head of the Xia family. When the old master died, the Xia family would belong to the mother and son. However, now that the name on those designs would be changed to Xia Yunqiu, all the glory would belong to Xia Yunqiu. No one would take her son seriously!
That b*tch was already dead. What right did she have to snatch this away from her son?
Xia Cheng glared angrily. This idiot actually dared to spout nonsense in front of Young Master Luo!
Before he could speak, Luo Zheng said casually, “Young Master, this is Chairman Xia’s current wife. I heard in the past that she doesn’t like the children of the first wife. Even though Miss Xia has passed away, Old Madam Xia’s hatred hasn’t subsided. She curses at the deceased and even wants to snatch Miss Xia’s belongings. It’s really an eye-opener for us.
“In my opinion, some people are innately useless. I advise you not to hand the family business to such people, Chairman Xia, lest you lose the family business you worked so hard to build. It’ll be too late to regret then.”
When Xia Ji heard this, his expression was extremely ugly.
Xia Cheng naturally understood what Luo Zheng meant. The Luo family wanted him to give up on Xia Ji and choose a new heir. He looked at Xia Ji meaningfully and sighed helplessly. “I agree to write Yunqiu’s name on the designs and announce to the public that Xia Ji is an impostor. He stole Yunqiu’s designs back then, which caused a series of misunderstandings. It’s his fault. I’ll make him apologize in front of everyone!”
“Dad!”
“Ah Cheng!”
Their roars sounded at the same time. Xia Cheng’s breathing trembled, and the smell of blood filled his throat. “Young Master Luo, what do you think?”
The higher-ups of Xia Corporation rushed forward and pulled Xia Ji and Old Madam Xia back. Everyone subdued them and covered their mouths, afraid that they would spout nonsense in front of the Luo family.
Everyone looked up at Luo Qing. Now that Xia Cheng had already agreed and announced that he would change the name on the designs to Xia Yunqiu, Luo Qing should be satisfied, right?
However, under everyone’s expectant gazes, Luo Qing said casually, “There’s nothing much to say.”
Luo Qing’s eyes were filled with disdain as he smiled coldly. “Director Xia, you seem to feel very aggrieved? But I’m not satisfied.”
Not satisfied? What else did he want?
Xia Cheng’s heart ached violently, and he almost stopped breathing.
Luo Zheng said indifferently, “Chairman Xia, it has been proven that the designs are all Madam Xia Yunqiu’s work. In that case, the person in charge of this collaboration should be Madam Xia’s daughter.”
“We’ve already decided on Mengyan…”
Luo Zheng interrupted without hesitation, “So what? Our young master won’t want to work with the daughter of an impostor, so our young master has chosen a more suitable person to be in charge. If you insist on Miss Xia Mengyan being in charge, then there’s no need to continue discussing this collaboration.”
The daughter of an impostor?
Xia Mengyan was so angry that her face turned red. Why did they call her that? In the past, everyone said that she was the daughter of an illegitimate child. She had worked hard for so many years to get rid of the label, but now, she was being scolded again.
Xia Cheng could no longer care about Xia Mengyan’s feelings. He asked tentatively, “In that case, who did Young Master Luo choose?”
A trace of gentleness appeared in Luo Qing’s eyes again as he said the name.
At this moment, in the cafe beside Xia Corporation.
Qiao Xi lay on a bed. The beautician was applying cream to her face and saying with a smile, “Miss Qiao, your skin is really good. It’s as smooth as a baby’s.”
Qiao Xi grunted in enjoyment. “I was born beautiful!”
