Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

Chapter 1248 - 1248 Alligator Tears

1248 Alligator Tears

Qiao Xi was arrogant, while she had to be humble. The two of them were clearly the same age, yet they had different fates.

Xia Mengyan’s sharp nails dug into her palms. She bit her lip and slowly knelt in front of Qiao Xi. She was wearing a knee-length dress. When she knelt, her knees came into contact with the floor, causing waves of dull pain.

‘Qiao Xi! Qiao Xi! I won’t let you off!’

Why did the Luo family stand up for Qiao Xi? Why did Qiao Xi have so many backers? Why could she, Xia Mengyan, only rely on the Xia family? Why was she inferior since she was born? She was clearly not inferior to Qiao Xi!

!!

Xia Mengyan would not forget today’s humiliation. She would definitely take revenge on Qiao Xi!

On the other hand, Qiao Xi had already signed the contract and handed it to Luo Qing. Then, she glanced indifferently at Xia Mengyan.

Qiao Xi was very clearly aware that Xia Mengyan had taken the initiative to kneel and admit her mistake because she was betting that Qiao Xi only said those words in a moment of anger and would not really make her kneel in front of everyone. After all, kneeling to someone was an extremely great humiliation, and it was not good for her reputation.

However, she did not care about the opinions of outsiders. Since Xia Mengyan had agreed to kneel and admit her mistake, she had to do it. Moreover, the person who asked Xia Mengyan to kneel just now was not her but Butler Luo.

Xia Mengyan should be thinking of crying a few tears of grievance. Would she and Luo Qing be soft-hearted then? However, Qiao Xi would never pity the enemy, nor would she believe Xia Mengyan’s pretense.

Now that Xia Mengyan was kneeling here, she should be very humiliated, right? There was still anger in her eyes, but what right did she have to be angry? It was clearly the Xia family’s fault, yet she still had the cheek to feel angry.

Qiao Xi glanced at her and said casually, “Young Master Luo, there are too many people here. Let’s go to the meeting room to talk.”

Luo Qing left with Qiao Xi. When the reporters saw that they could not take any photos, they left one after another. In an instant, only the Xia family was left in the lobby.

Old Madam Xia hurriedly pulled Xia Mengyan up and complained, “Ah Cheng, how could you make Mengyan kneel?! She was mocked in front of so many people!”

Xia Cheng had a helpless expression. “What else could I do? The Luo family has already decided on Qiao Xi. If Qiao Xi didn’t come back, the collaboration would be canceled. At that time, it’s very likely that Xia Corporation will go bankrupt. Everything we have now will be gone!”

Xia Mengyan shed tears aggrievedly and sobbed softly. “Grandpa, Grandma, I’m fine. It doesn’t matter if I suffer a little. As long as I can protect Grandpa and Father’s reputation, I’ll do anything!”

Xia Cheng nodded, and his eyes were filled with determination. “Mengyan, it’s been hard on you this time, but you have to remember that even if Xi Xi is the person in charge of the collaboration, the glory and benefits will still belong to the Xia family. Although Qiao Xi is in charge, we’re the final winners. You have to take the overall situation into consideration and stop fooling around! Do you understand?”

Xia Mengyan hurriedly nodded. “I’ll remember, Grandpa. It’s just that I’m afraid that Xi Xi still has some resentment in her heart and might not be able to successfully complete the collaboration. Moreover, most of Aunt Yunqiu’s designs were destroyed. They need to be restored. I’ve learned porcelain design, so I can help restore them.”

“That’s right! Mengyan has studied recovery technology at university. Moreover, it’s just a few designs. Mengyan will definitely be able to help. Why don’t we let Mengyan help Qiao Xi?!” Old Madam Xia said excitedly.

Xia Cheng was a little hesitant, but Xia Mengyan’s eyes lit up. If she could help, the final credit would definitely belong to her. If she restored the designs, so she would definitely make the Luo family look at her in a different light. At that time, the Luo family would also know who the truly outstanding daughter of the Xia family was.

…

At this moment, in the cafe beside Xia Corporation.

Gu Zheng was sitting on the sofa with his eyes closed. The door of the private room was pushed in, and a group of people walked in.

He Tingchen walked in front of Gu Zheng and smiled. “Ah Zheng, long time no see.”

Gu Zheng opened his eyes and glanced at the group of people coldly. A mocking smile appeared on his face.

He Wenxian sat opposite Gu Zheng and smiled gently. “President Gu, it’s been so many years since we last met. My brother has been thinking about you. We just returned to the country and he was already clamoring to see you. He felt embarrassed to come alone, so he got me to accompany him.”

This explanation was very clear. It was not He Wenxian who wanted to come but He Tingchen who pulled her here. She was different from other women. She did not want to seduce Gu Zheng and just treated him as a friend. The two of them would not meet in private, which was why the three siblings came over.

He Tingchen talked about many things that had happened all these years. Suddenly, he realized that a group of men in black had appeared in the building opposite. He was a little surprised. “The Luo family?”
