1335 Give Me A Satisfactory Answer
“However, it’s understandable if Miss Xia Mengyan marries him. After all, you’ve already signed the betrothal contract and the Xia family has accepted the betrothal gifts. Everything about that arrangement is reasonable.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi glanced at Xia Mengyan with a smile.
Xia Mengyan was so scared that her scalp went numb. She hid behind Xia Lan in horror, her back drenched in sweat.
Song Shiyu quickly continued, “Young Madam is right! Madam Tan, if this matter blows up, the Brook family will be the ones losing their reputation. Since you’ve given the betrothal gifts, if the Xia family goes back on their word and refuses to marry their daughter to Young Master Tan, won’t they be looking down on you?”
Song Shiyu said slyly, “Our young madam is already married, so she definitely can’t marry Young Master Tan. Since Young Madam can’t marry into your family, you can only choose Xia Mengyan. After all, she’s Madam Xia Lan’s daughter, and she’s unmarried. No one is more suitable than her. If she’s unwilling to marry, it’ll be equivalent to the Xia family looking down on you and Young Master Tan. If news of this gets out, what will others say about the Brook family?”
When Madam Tan heard these words, her eyes were filled with anger.
Qiao Xi echoed, “That’s right! You spent two billion but didn’t even get to proceed with the marriage. When you return to Y Nation, you’ll definitely be laughed at!”
“Madam Tan, you came all the way to Li City and took out a betrothal gift of two billion yuan. The Brook family must know that you’re here to offer betrothal gifts. If you spend two billion yuan but don’t bring a woman back, what will the family say?”
“They might say that you’re a noble madam but was played by a small family. You’ll end up embarrassing your family after losing such a large sum of money…”
Madam Tan was instantly furious.
Gu Zheng!
It was all because of this man. If he hadn’t appeared, she could have forcefully taken Qiao Xi away and no one would’ve noticed. However, not only was she unable to take Qiao Xi away now, but she also had to listen to the ridicule of this group of people.
However, Qiao Xi’s words made sense. If she spent two billion yuan but failed to get her son a wife, then…
Madam Tan hesitated for a moment before finally looking up at Xia Cheng with a malicious expression. “Chairman Xia, you’ve already accepted the two billion yuan betrothal gift. No matter what, someone has to marry my son and return to Y Nation with us. If the Xia family doesn’t want to be enemies with the Brook family, hand that person over!”
Madam Tan gritted her teeth tightly. At this point, she could only take a step back. She would let Qiao Xi off this time, but sooner or later, Qiao Xi would have to pay the price for this! Since she was married to Gu Zheng, she had to bear the danger that followed.
The Brook family could not have a falling out with Gu Zheng, so she had no reason to be enemies with him. However, it was harmless to trip him up.
How painful would it be for Gu Zheng if he saw his beloved wife become her son’s plaything one day?
Unfortunately, the plan this time did not succeed, but it did not matter. Qiao Xi was lucky this time, but she would not be so lucky every time. Qiao Xi would fall into her hands sooner or later.
Everyone in the Xia family was silent, but it was obvious that Madam Tan no longer had the patience. She frowned unhappily. “Chairman Xia, I’ll give you five minutes. You have to give me a satisfactory answer. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being nasty.”
Xia Cheng’s expression darkened as he looked at Xia Mengyan in confusion.
Xia Mengyan’s body went soft, and her face was as pale as paper. Madam Tan had already made it very clear that she was forcing her to marry Tan Yu. If the Xia family did not agree, the Brook family would do their best to suppress the Xia family. At that time…
Why? The person who was supposed to get married in the beginning was clearly Qiao Xi. Why was it her now?
“Mengyan, go to Y Nation with Young Master Tan obediently. I’ll visit you after some time. If the Xia family survives this crisis, I’ll bring you back.”
Xia Mengyan’s eyes were filled with horror. Back then, when she sent Madam Tan the photo, she did not expect things to turn out like this. She just happened to hear about Young Master Tan’s evil deeds. She hoped that Qiao Xi would marry him and be tortured to death by Young Master Tan, but if she married him, she would have no chance of survival.
Her tears fell like pearls. Her vision was already blurred by her tears. She suddenly pounced in front of Xia Cheng and pulled his arm, crying. “Grandpa! No! I can’t marry him! I’m your granddaughter! How can you…”
Xia Ji panicked, and Xia Lan was so scared that tears streamed down her face.
Sumei grabbed Xia Cheng’s other arm and begged, “Ah Cheng, you can’t let Mengyan marry him! Mengyan grew up by your side. How can you bear to push her into a fire pit? She’s so obedient and filial. Are you going to sell her for two billion? It would be fine if she can be happy, but she’ll be tortured to death!”
