1231 The Shameless Xia Family

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart and stepped into the lobby. As soon as she entered, she saw a few printed drawings that were even framed in gold. The funny thing was that Xia Ji’s name was actually written on the drawings.

She frowned, and her eyes suddenly turned cold.

Heh! How could these people be so shameless?

In the eyes of the Xia family, the designs were drawn by her mother, but her mother was from the Xia family. In other words, the designs belonged to the Xia family. They knew that these designs were drawn by her mother, but outsiders did not. As long as it was something from the Xia family, the family could use it however they wished. They believed that the Luo family would not mind.

If the Luo family did not expose them, no one else would care.

Qiao Xi turned her head and saw a group of reporters rushing in from outside. At this moment, many reporters were gathered outside Xia Corporation’s building. She seemed to understand the Xia family’s intentions.

She looked out. As soon as Xia Ji got out of the car, many reporters surrounded him. Xia Mengyan followed Xia Ji obediently and greeted everyone with a smile.

Xia Yunlou had specially come to inform her about the collaboration between the Xia and Luo families. It was not agreed upon by the Xia family and seemed to be Xia Yunlou’s own idea, so she did not come together with the Xia family today.

Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly. She saw someone in the crowd. It was Assistant Gao, who was beside Xia Ji. At this moment, he was doing an interview on behalf of Xia Ji while Xia Ji quickly went upstairs.

Seeing this, Qiao Xi immediately sent Luo Qing a message: [Second Brother, I’ll have to trouble you to cooperate with me today.]

…

In the chairman’s office.

Xia Ji rushed over in a hurry, his expression not looking good. He asked uneasily, “Dad, will things really be fine? I don’t feel at ease.”

Xia Cheng was expressionless, but Ai Sumei snorted. “Don’t worry! These designs belonged to that b*tch… They were designed by Xia Yunqiu, so they belong to the Xia family. Now that she’s dead, they’re yours! Outsiders don’t know about it at all. What are you afraid of?”

Xia Ji still wanted to say something, but Ai Sumei glared at him and turned to Xia Cheng with a flattering smile. “Ah Cheng, Xia Yunqiu has been dead for so many years. The heir in her will is Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi just so happens to be at odds with our Xia family. If we announce that these designs all belong to Xia Yunqiu, Qiao Xi might snatch them away.

“The Luo family is clearly here to discuss a collaboration with us. We’ve been preparing for so long, so how can we let all of this be snatched by Qiao Xi?” please visit f𝓇𝚎e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝗻૦ѵℯl.c𝐨𝓂.

Xia Cheng was silent for a moment before he frowned and said, “Yunqiu is my daughter. She’s from the Xia family. If she has belongings left in the Xia family, they’re ours.

“Xia Ji is the next head of the family. There’s nothing wrong with giving these designs to him. Moreover, this is for the sake of the Xia family. If Yunqiu was still alive, she wouldn’t have refused.”

Sumei smiled widely. “Ah Cheng, you’re right! Son, since your father said so, you should be relieved now!”

Xia Ji felt as if a rock was pressing down on his heart. He could not breathe. When he thought of the reporters outside the door and the ingratiating smiles of Li City’s business magnates, he felt a little better.
