Chapter 1337 - 1337 Raising An Ingrate
1337 Raising An Ingrate
Before Xia Mengyan could finish, Song Shiyu interrupted her coldly. “Miss Xia, that’s not what you said when you forced Young Madam to marry into the Xia family. You said that it’s an honor to sacrifice for the Xia family. Why are you unwilling now that it’s your turn to marry?
“Our young madam is not a member of the Xia family. She has never received any kindness from the Xia family since she was young, but you, the eldest daughter of the Xia family, have been living in luxury since you were young. You’re doted on and supported by the Xia family. It’s only right for you to sacrifice for the Xia family, right?!
“Moreover, Madam Tan was invited by you. Since you can ask outsiders to sacrifice for the Xia family, why aren’t you willing to sacrifice for the Xia family? Chairman Xia, the granddaughter you spent so much effort to raise is too selfish. The Xia family is about to go bankrupt, but she’s unwilling to sacrifice for the Xia family.
“I heard that Miss Xia grew up by Chairman Xia’s side. In order to nurture Miss Xia, the Xia family spent a lot of time and money, but what happened in the end? They raised an ingrate!”
Hearing Song Shiyu’s words, Xia Cheng’s face darkened. His tone was no longer as gentle as before. “Mengyan! At this point, you have to marry him even if you don’t want to!”
Then, Xia Cheng bent down slightly and said in a low voice, “Mengyan, don’t worry. I’ll take revenge for you. It won’t be long before Qiao Xi goes to accompany you. At that time, she’ll definitely suffer ten times more than you!”
Xia Mengyan burst into tears and cried without caring about her image. She did not want to marry Young Master Tan. She would die! Why did she have to marry him? There must be another way!
Right, she could still seek the help of netizens. Although her reputation was not too good after the incident at New City Mall, she still had a portion of her fans. If she posted this matter online, she would definitely obtain the sympathy of the netizens. Once the matter blew up, Madam Tan would not be able to take her away by force.
Seeing that Xia Mengyan was silent, Xia Cheng thought that she had already accepted her fate and heaved a sigh of relief.
He turned around and could not help but meet Gu Zheng’s eyes. He had clearly planned it out and sent someone to intercept Gu Zheng so that Madam Tan could forcefully take Qiao Xi away. At that time, even if Gu Zheng came, it would be too late.
Even if Gu Zheng had a lot of power in Li City, he could not snatch her from the Brook family. After all, if he went to Y Nation, he might not even be able to come back. Did he have to lose his life for a woman?
He originally thought that this plan would be foolproof, but he did not expect it to end up like this. He had obtained the two billion yuan betrothal gift, but he had lost Mengyan.
Xia Cheng gritted his teeth hatefully. Qiao Xi caused the Xia family to suffer such a loss in silence. Did she think that everything would end just like this? He would absolutely not let the matter rest. When the Xia family regained their power, he had to make Qiao Xi pay the price!
“Chairman Xia, could it be that you’re thinking of making me pay the price when the Xia family regains their power?” Qiao Xi suddenly spoke and chuckled.
The corners of Xia Cheng’s mouth twitched slightly, but he was only absent-minded for a moment before quickly returning to normal. He asked calmly, “So what?”
“Qiao Xi, you’re Gu Zheng’s wife now, so I’m naturally unable to touch you. Gu Zheng likes and dotes on you now, but how can you be sure that he won’t have a change of heart? Even if he has always taken care of you, he can’t be by your side at all times. There’ll always be times when he overlooks things.
“You caused our Xia family to be in pieces. How can we take this lying down?”
Xia Cheng stared fiercely at her. Even if Gu Zheng was present, he did not care in the slightest. Gu Zheng liked her, so he did not hesitate to offend the Brook family to keep her by his side. However, ten years later, when she was old and weak, there would be younger women by Gu Zheng’s side. After all, with Gu Zheng’s net worth and appearance, it was impossible for him to only like Qiao Xi forever.
When Gu Zheng despised her, wouldn’t it be easy for the Xia family to deal with a woman?
The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth curled up slightly. “Chairman Xia, you’re quite bold! You actually dare to say such things in front of Gu Zheng. Could it be that you’re not afraid that Gu Zheng will deal with all of you now? Or do you already have a foolproof plan to protect the Xia family?
“Do you think that with the two billion yuan, the Xia family can regain their power? Oh, is it because Xia Mengyan will be marrying into the Brook family, so the Xia family will have the protection of the Brook family? If Gu Zheng wants to deal with you, he’ll first have to get through them, right?”
Xia Cheng was calm. “So what if I am? Is there a problem with that?”
