Chapter 1241 Is The Luo Family Really That Scary?
The assistant looked at the butler beside him. The butler gave him a look, then the assistant slowly said, "Chairman Xia, since our young master is coming here for that designer, can we meet the person in question first?"
Xia Cheng had always wanted to introduce Xia Ji to the Luo family. Now that the assistant from the Luo family had spoken first, Xia Cheng was naturally excited.
He quickly turned around and said in a kind voice, "Xia Ji, come here. The butler and assistant from the Luo family want to see you."
When Xia Ji heard his father's voice, he straightened his clothes and walked out with his head held high. From today onward, he would be an honored guest of the Luo family. No one would mock his identity as an illegitimate child anymore.
All these years, he had been questioned countless times. Even a portion of the higher-ups of Xia Corporation did not agree to let him be the heir and did not allow him to be the next head of the family. It was all because of his identity as an illegitimate child that he could never compare to Yin Yunyi or Xia Yunqiu. They all claimed that he was not qualified to sit in that position.
However, now that the Luo family had personally come to collaborate with him, he had become a supreme designer. In the future, he would lead the Xia family to become the overlord of Li City and become an existence that everyone looked up to. At that time, no one would despise his identity and think that he was not worthy to be the head of the family.
Xia Ji's face was filled with a proud smile. He walked to Xia Cheng's side. The father and son were full of smiles. Xia Cheng hurriedly introduced, "Assistant, this is the designer, Xia Ji. He's also my son."
Xia Ji smiled and nodded, not noticing their expressions at all. "Hello, I'm the designer, Xia Ji."
He took a few steps closer and wanted to shake the butler's hand. He was the heir of the Xia family and a designer of porcelain sculptures. Even though the butler of the Luo family had a lot of power, he was still just a butler. It was only right for the two of them to shake hands. Xia Ji thought that the butler would not refuse.
However, his hand remained in midair. After a few seconds, the butler did not respond.
Xia Ji's heart skipped a beat, and his expression was extremely ugly. The air around him seemed to have frozen. Everyone present held their breaths and watched this awkward scene.
A moment later, Xia Cheng smiled in embarrassment. "Butler, please don't take offense. Xia Ji doesn't know the rules."
Xia Ji retracted his hand awkwardly, and the smile on his face instantly vanished. The butler, who was at the side, narrowed his eyes. His cold gaze landed on Xia Ji, then he glanced coldly at Xia Cheng.
At that moment, Xia Cheng felt as if a thousand-kilogram rock was pressing down on his spine, making him unable to straighten his back. He had the urge to grovel in front of the butler.
Was the Luo family really that scary? Xia Cheng heard that apart from normal business dealings, Xuan Island had also established an assassin organization. Now, the coldness exuding from the butler's body seemed to be tainted by the smell of blood. It could not help but make Xia Cheng tremble in fear.
However, he did not understand why the butler was looking at him like this. Did he say something wrong?
Just as Xia Cheng was feeling puzzled, the butler suddenly sneered and said, "Chairman Xia, is this the porcelain designer you were talking about?"
The moment he spoke, the surroundings instantly fell silent. His entire body exuded a powerful aura, making everyone present unable to breathe smoothly. He was just a butler, yet he had such a sharp aura. How terrifying was the Luo family?!
Xia Cheng nodded in fear. "Yes, Butler. This is the designer of the porcelain sculptures…"f𝒓ee𝙬𝒆𝚋n૦𝘷𝐞l.c𝑜𝒎
"Nonsense! The designer is clearly a woman. How could it be him? How dare you deceive our Luo family?! Do you think we're fools?"
The butler's voice was suddenly sharp. His berating voice reached everyone's ears, scaring them.
The entire venue was silent. Even the sound of breathing had stopped. Xia Mengyan's heart was beating violently, and her lips were pale as they trembled.
Xia Ji was so scared that his face turned pale. The veins on his forehead were throbbing uneasily.
No one dared to say anything. The reporters also looked at each other. The Luo family said that the real designer was a woman, so Xia Ji was not the real designer. In other words, the Xia family was lying?
After the butler's reminder, everyone could not help but think of Miss Qiao's words. Her mother, Xia Yunqiu, passed away many years ago. Could it be that she was the designer mentioned by the Luo family?
Everyone was just guessing, but once they started to suspect something, they disliked Xia Ji even more.
