Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1262 The Strongest Support

Chapter 1262 The Strongest Support

"Aunt, don't go." Xia Mengyan hurriedly pulled Xia Yunlou back and advised softly, "Even if Xi Xi is in the wrong, you can't criticize her. Her relationship with the Xia family isn't good to begin with. If she's reprimanded again, she'll definitely feel resentful. You should give her a chance to turn over a new leaf! As long as she doesn't go astray, I'll do anything!

"We're about to hold the opening ceremony. If Xi Xi can correct her mistake, we won't mention this matter anymore. I can give the porcelain sculpture to her and let her continue to be in charge. The final credit will still be hers, but if she insists on causing trouble, we have to correct her behavior. We can't just watch her fall deeper and deeper."

Xia Yunlou was burning with anger, and her eyes were filled with disgust. She gritted her teeth and shouted, "Why should we give the position to her?! Now that the Luo family has already decided that you're in charge, why is she still thinking of s.n.a.t.c.hing it away? You actually want to give it to her? Even if you're kind and tolerant, she won't remember your kindness!

"I can give her a chance to turn over a new leaf, but if she continues to be stubborn, she shouldn't blame me for being heartless!"

A trace of viciousness flashed past Xia Mengyan's eyes as she smiled proudly.

This collaboration with the Luo family concerned the interests and reputation of Xia Corporation. If Qiao Xi ruined this matter and embarra.s.sed herself in front of outsiders, she would not have the qualifications to be in charge, much less compete with her for the position of heir.

The day of New City Mall's opening ceremony would be the day Qiao Xi's reputation was ruined!

Two days later, Xia Corporation's New City Mall officially opened. All the big shots and n.o.ble families of Li City were invited to attend.

At nine in the morning, many higher-ups of Xia Corporation were gathered in New City Mall. Xia Cheng and Old Madam Xia stood at the front, watching Xia Mengyan partake in the ceremony.

As it was the opening of the mall, they naturally had to cut the ribbon. At that time, Xia Mengyan could take out the porcelain sculpture that the Luo family had given her. This small porcelain sculpture represented how much the Luo family valued the Xia family. With this porcelain sculpture, it was equivalent to having a powerful backer. If anyone wanted to go against the Xia family, they would first have to see if they were qualified.

"Miss Xia, I heard that the Luo family gave you a porcelain sculpture?" someone asked curiously.

Xia Mengyan smiled and nodded. "Yes."

"Where's that porcelain sculpture? Will it be displayed today?"

Xia Mengyan was just about to speak when a commotion suddenly came from the door. Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and saw a luxury car parked at the door. Gu Zheng was sitting in the driver's seat and looking at Qiao Xi gently. The attendant at the door immediately went forward to open the door for Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi had just gotten out of the car when she heard a gentle voice behind her. "Xi Xi."

She turned around. Gu Zheng was staring at her fixedly. His eyes were filled with gentleness, but he said very seriously, "No matter what happens, I'll always be your strongest support."

Qiao Xi's cheeks were red. She was shy and touched. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.

Such an enviable scene fell into Xia Mengyan's eyes. Her eyes were filled with resentment. After calming down for a few seconds, she revealed a gentle smile and replied to what someone had asked just now, "Xi Xi is the person in charge of this collaboration, so of course, the porcelain sculpture is with her. She'll naturally show it to everyone today."

When everyone heard this, their burning gazes descended on Qiao Xi. Their gazes were different. Some gazes were filled with surprise and jealousy, but most of their gazes were filled with malice. Because the Xia family did not like Qiao Xi, they naturally hated her as well.

Now that Qiao Xi was the person in charge of the collaboration with the Luo family, the porcelain sculpture must be in her hands. Hence, when Qiao Xi approached, someone said, "Miss Qiao, can you let us see—"

However, before he could finish, he was urgently interrupted by Xia Mengyan. She hurriedly explained, "Mr. Hao, don't be anxious! It's not like the porcelain sculpture can run away from Xi Xi. You'll naturally be able to see it after the ribbon-cutting ceremony."

After that, she turned to look at Qiao Xi and said in a low voice, "Xi Xi, did you bring the porcelain sculpture over? We've already informed all the guests that the porcelain sculpture will be displayed today. You can't embarra.s.s the Xia family!"

Qiao Xi lazily opened her eyes and glanced coldly at her. Xia Mengyan met her gaze and broke out in a cold sweat. However, after thinking about it carefully, there was nothing wrong with her words!

As the person in charge, the porcelain sculpture should be in her hands. The fact that she did not get it meant that there was something wrong with her ability.

When she thought about this, Xia Mengyan instantly became confident. She raised her head arrogantly and looked into Qiao Xi's eyes.
