Chapter 1270 - 1270 Mr. Luo Is Here
1270 Mr. Luo Is Here
Perhaps outsiders were unable to discern the quality of this porcelain sculpture, but Qiao Xi was clearly aware that the standard of this sculpture was not bad, but this porcelain piece was not good. It only looked gorgeous, but upon closer inspection, it was flawed.
With Second Brother’s skills, he could not make porcelain sculptures of this standard. It seemed that he had casually bought it to fool the Xia family.
However, in everyone’s eyes, this porcelain sculpture was very gorgeous. Everyone was excited. “It’s indeed a treasure! I’ve seen the work of the Luo family’s head before. It’s gorgeous and dazzling!”
“This porcelain sculpture is much better than that of the peach blossom. As expected, the real deal is the real deal. Although we don’t know anything about porcelain sculptures, we can clearly differentiate between good and bad.”
“The daughter raised by the Xia family is indeed outstanding! Not only is she beautiful and kind-hearted, but she’s also capable. I heard that she’s the future heir of the Xia family!”
“Actually, in terms of appearance, Miss Qiao is more beautiful, but beauty alone is naturally not enough. She grew up in the countryside and doesn’t know etiquette. She doesn’t have the ability either. Although her identity is a little better than Miss Xia, the position of heir should be given to someone more capable.”
Xia Cheng heard the discussion around him and immediately beamed.
Ai Sumei was overjoyed. “Ah Cheng, I already said that Mengyan is the most outstanding. She saved the Xia family’s reputation and the Luo family’s collaboration. She’s more suitable to be in charge than Qiao Xi.”
“Qiao Xi is really too naughty and mischievous. If the Yin family finds out that she causes trouble all day and even sold the porcelain sculpture Young Master Luo gave her, they’ll probably chase her out of the house!”
Xia Cheng glanced at Qiao Xi in disgust. The more he looked at Xia Mengyan, the happier he felt. As expected of the granddaughter he had carefully nurtured. “Mengyan, you did very well today. In a while, I’ll announce in public that you’re the heir of Xia Corporation. I believe the company won’t object. After all, if it weren’t for you, I don’t know what consequences we would have to bear today.
“Qiao Xi has been fooling around like this and causing Xia Corporation to lose face. She’s not worthy of continuing to be the person in charge. Mengyan, I’ll leave the rest of the matters to you.”
Xia Cheng raised the microphone and announced in front of everyone, “As everyone can see, Qiao Xi almost ruined the collaboration between Xia Corporation and the Luo family. Such a person is not worthy of continuing to work at Xia Corporation. Fortunately, I have an outstanding granddaughter. If it weren’t for Mengyan, Xia Corporation would definitely have suffered a heavy blow this time.
“So I announce that the new person in charge of the collaboration between Xia Corporation and the Luo family is—”
Before he could finish, there was a sudden rumble not far away. A few black luxury cars slowly stopped in front of New City Mall. A gentleman walked out of the car.
Xia Cheng was standing on the stage. He was too far away to see who it was, but he heard a shocked voice. “Chairman Xia! The Luo family has sent someone!”
Xia Cheng stood on the spot in a daze. Before he could react, the man had already walked in front of him.
The young man was dressed in a suit and leather shoes. He had a refined temperament and a gentle smile on his face. Every move he made gave others the feeling of a spring breeze.
His voice was gentle. “Hello, Chairman Xia. My surname is Luo. Young Master sent me to celebrate the opening of Xia Corporation’s new mall.”
He was indeed from the Luo family!
Everyone had never seen him before, but when they saw the totem on his clothes and the bodyguards behind him, everyone could guess that he was from the Luo family. After all, no one dared to pretend to be from the Luo family of Xuan Island.
Mr. Luo smiled gently. “Young Master has something important to attend to and can’t come, so he asked me to congratulate you on your opening. Our Luo family previously sent over a porcelain sculpture, but that’s only half of it. I’m here today to give you the other half. The two porcelain sculptures have to be combined. I hope that your opening ceremony will go smoothly.
“Chairman Xia, who is that sculpture with?”
The moment that was said, the Xia family was so excited that they almost fainted. They were already unable to extricate themselves.
However, Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. The Luo family’s patriarch had given a porcelain sculpture to Xia Mengyan. Although Young Master Luo could not come, he sent someone to specially give another piece to her. Who did the Xia family think they were to make the Luo family think so highly of them?
Xia Mengyan was already overwhelmed by surprise. Her body seemed to be floating when Ai Sumei reminded her, “Mengyan, Mr. Luo wants to see you. Hurry up and go over!”
Xia Mengyan lifted her dress and walked forward elegantly.
“Oh! Miss Xia is really going to stand out now. So what if she’s the daughter of an illegitimate child?”
“It’s too normal for families in high society to have illegitimate children. Actually, status doesn’t matter. The main thing is ability. Previously, the Yin family insisted on not interacting with the Xia family anymore. They must be regretting it now.”
