1247 Xia Yunqiu’s Relationship With The Luo Family
In everyone’s opinion, although Miss Xia was the daughter of an illegitimate child, her character and knowledge were very outstanding. To be able to sacrifice herself for the sake of the overall situation and kneel down to apologize for her father meant that she was very filial.
Qiao Xi sneered when she heard the praise coming from the other end of the phone. It would be best if Xia Mengyan knelt down and admitted her mistake. It was truly a delight to be able to watch Xia Mengyan grovel and admit her mistake.
10 minutes later, Qiao Xi returned to the lobby. Xia Mengyan went forward nervously. “Xi Xi…”
“Miss Qiao.” Luo Zheng went forward to greet her with a smile. “Previously, your mother, Madam Xia Yunqiu, even wrote a letter to the head of our family. She said that if she had the chance, she would bring you to Xuan Island.
“After that, when our madam died of an illness, she kept thinking about Madam Xia. Our Luo family searched for her for a long time but couldn’t find her. Madam said that she wouldn’t have the chance to meet her anymore and could only instruct me to give these gifts to her. She died with regret.
“Now that Madam Xia Yunqiu has passed away, as her daughter, the things our madam left behind should be handed to you. I hope you won’t refuse.”
After Luo Zheng finished speaking, the assistant took out a sandalwood box. There was a jade bracelet inside. It was obvious that it was expensive.
“This was Madam’s favorite piece of jewelry. She had always wanted to give this bracelet to Madam Xia, but unfortunately, she didn’t have the chance. There are many other gifts like this. I’ll get someone to deliver them to your house soon,” Luo Zheng said.
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance at Luo Qing before reaching out to take the bracelet.
Butler Luo, who was arrogant and cold in front of Xia Cheng, was extremely respectful in front of Qiao Xi.
Everyone listened for a long time before understanding that Luo Zheng was respectful to Qiao Xi because of Xia Yunqiu. The wife of the head of Xuan Island seemed to have a good relationship with Xia Yunqiu. Even though Xia Yunqiu left Xuan Island 24 years ago, the wife of the head still remembered her and prepared gifts for her every year.
They did not expect Xia Cheng to give birth to such a powerful daughter. Although Xia Yunqiu passed away for so many years, the Luo family still had deep feelings for her. With this relationship, the Luo family would definitely treat the Xia family well.
Young Master Luo had taught the Xia family a lesson just now, but that was the punishment for offending Madam Xia Yunqiu. As long as they did not make similar mistakes in the future, the Xia family’s status would definitely rise.
Butler Luo was so respectful to Qiao Xi, which meant that Xia Yunqiu’s status on Xuan Island was equivalent to that of the owner. It was just that Xia Ji was unlucky. He could have stolen anyone else’s things, but he just had to steal Xia Yunqiu’s. However, judging from the Luo family’s attitude, they would not take their anger out on Xia Cheng. They would definitely be a little more respectful to Xia Yunqiu’s father.
Everyone looked at Xia Cheng with envy.
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up as she glanced meaningfully at Xia Cheng. His entire body was stiff, and his teeth were chattering. He knew very well in his heart that there was no father-daughter relationship between him and Xia Yunqiu. A few years ago, Xia Yunqiu moved to the Yin family with Yin Lianxin.
At this moment, Luo Qing said, “Since you’re here, Miss Qiao, we can hold the collaboration ceremony.”
Xia Corporation had long been prepared and was just waiting for the Luo family to nod in agreement. Now that Young Master Luo had spoken, they could not wait to complete the ceremony immediately to prevent him from going back on his word.
Xia Cheng had thousands of thoughts in his heart. In any case, outsiders did not know that his relationship with Xia Yunqiu was not good. Since Xia Yunqiu’s surname was Xia, she was from the Xia family. She should bring benefits and honor to the Xia family. Now that Xia Ji’s reputation had already been ruined, he could no longer care about him. The most important thing now was to protect Xia Corporation.
Luo Qing handed the contract to Qiao Xi. Under the burning gazes of everyone, Qiao Xi picked up the pen.
The reporters hurriedly went forward and took a few suitable photos. The atmosphere in the lobby returned to normal, but the next second…
Luo Zheng suddenly turned around and said, “Miss Xia, now that Miss Qiao has agreed to collaborate, it’s time for you to kneel and admit your mistake.”
Xia Mengyan’s body trembled as she bit her lip. She knew very well that even if she was unwilling, the higher-ups of Xia Corporation would still force her to kneel. After all, no one wanted to see Xia Corporation destroyed.
She raised her eyes to look at Qiao Xi who was standing in the crowd. She was the center of attention when signing the contract, yet she now had to kneel in front of Qiao Xi and admit her mistake. They were both daughters of the Xia family. What right did one have to be high and mighty while the other had to kneel in front of everyone and be mocked?
Qiao Xi did not even bother to look at her as if it was only right for her to kneel. To Qiao Xi, it did not matter who knelt here. Xia Mengyan was just a dispensable existence.
