1271 Falling From Heaven To The Quagmire
Everyone discussed animatedly. “Yin Lianxin’s granddaughter lost to Ai Sumei’s granddaughter. If Yin Lianxin finds out, she’ll probably be angered to death!”
Sumei smiled proudly. She could finally vent the anger she had been suppressing for many years.
That was right, she was a mistress. She had destroyed someone else’s family, but she was the old madam of the Xia family now. She and Xia Cheng were already married, so Xia Ji was no longer an illegitimate child!
Yin Lianxin was a domineering and unfeminine woman. She even let Ah Cheng marry into her family. All those years while under the oppression of the Yin family, Ah Cheng could not raise his head at all. Yin Lianxin could not keep her man because she was useless!
!!
In love, there was no first come, first serve. There was only love or indifference. Hence, Ai Sumei had never thought of herself as a mistress. She thought that she was just brave enough to pursue love. What was wrong with that?
All these years, she had been enduring everyone’s mockery and cold eyes. Now, she had finally stood out. Mengyan relied on her own ability to obtain the recognition of the Luo family. From now on, who would dare to laugh at her for being a mistress?
At this moment, Xia Mengyan had already walked in front of the man and said gently, “Hello, Mr. Luo. It’s our Xia Corporation’s honor that you’re here in New City Mall. We’re also very grateful to Master Luo and Young Master Luo for thinking highly of the Xia family and giving us such a precious porcelain sculpture.”
Mr. Luo glanced imperceptibly at Qiao Xi, who was at the side, then quickly withdrew his gaze and replied indifferently, “It’s just a porcelain sculpture. After all, Madam and Madam Xia were good friends.”
With that, he looked up and sized up Xia Mengyan. The corners of his mouth curled up slightly. “This is what the family head and young master said…”
Xia Mengyan’s eyes were filled with joy. She had never dreamed of getting close to the Luo family. She could already imagine everyone’s envious gazes from now on.
Then, Mr. Luo said word by word, “Miss Qiao?”
The moment that was said, it was like a huge rock had exploded beside everyone. Mr. Luo was here to look for Miss Qiao?
Xia Mengyan’s face was pale as she stood rooted to the ground in a daze. The way Mr. Luo called her ‘Miss Qiao’ was like a slap to her face. The feeling of falling from heaven to a quagmire instantly made her almost break down.
No way! Luo Chenjiu had given her the porcelain sculpture, so she was the person in charge…
Xia Mengyan forced herself to calm down and squeezed out a smile. “Mr. Luo, I’m not Miss Qiao. My surname is Xia. You probably remembered wrongly.”
“Oh? Surnamed Xia? But Young Master said that the person in charge’s surname is Qiao. She’s Madam Xia Yunqiu’s adopted daughter.” Mr. Luo’s eyes were filled with confusion.
Xia Mengyan was not nervous and had already thought of an excuse in her mind. She took a deep breath. A moment later, she looked a little guilty and helpless. “Mr. Luo, I’m really sorry. A little incident happened just now. The person in charge was indeed my younger sister, Qiao Xi, but she secretly sold Young Master Luo’s porcelain sculpture and brought out a fake, so…”
Mr. Luo frowned. “She actually dares to offend our young master like this!”
Everyone looked at Qiao Xi in succession, and their eyes were filled with disdain. It was this greedy woman who privately sold the porcelain sculpture. Now that the Luo family was here, how would she clean up the mess?
The corners of Xia Mengyan’s mouth curled into a cold smile as she said softly, “Mr. Luo, although that porcelain sculpture is gone, the Luo family’s head gave me another porcelain sculpture. I brought it over today, so when you asked where it was, I thought you wanted to see me.”
“A porcelain sculpture the patriarch made?” Mr. Luo’s face was filled with surprise. “The patriarch has been isolated in the mountains for ten years, yet he actually gave a porcelain sculpture to you. In that case, the patriarch values you very much.”
At this moment, Xia Cheng’s heart was instantly filled with joy. Just now, he was still worried that he would offend the Luo family. Now, Mr. Luo said that the head of the family valued Mengyan. It was a great honor to be valued by the head of the Luo family. The Xia family’s future would be limitless.
Xia Mengyan was so excited that her entire body was trembling. “Mr. Luo, why don’t you take a seat first? The ceremony will be over later. If you’re not in a rush to leave, you can stay for dinner.”
Mr. Luo smiled gently. “Alright, I want to see the family head’s porcelain sculpture too. The family head hasn’t produced anything in many years, and I haven’t seen his works in a long time.”
Everyone gasped. Such a precious porcelain sculpture was actually given to Xia Mengyan by the Luo family’s head. In other words, in the eyes of the Luo family’s patriarch, Xia Mengyan’s status was already comparable to Xia Yunqiu’s back then.
Xia Mengyan suppressed her excitement and brought Mr. Luo to the stage. “This is the porcelain sculpture that the Luo family’s head gave me.”
