Chapter 1256: 1256 Unexpected Gains

1256 Unexpected Gains

“Mengyan, has Xi Xi agreed to let you be her assistant?” Xia Yunlou asked anxiously.

Xia Mengyan rolled her eyes and replied, “Yes. Xi Xi even asked me to go to the Luo family with her. Young Master Luo will give a porcelain sculpture to Xia Corporation! But I’m a little unhappy. I know that in terms of status, Xi Xi is the legitimate daughter of the Xia family, while my father is an illegitimate child. No one likes me. I’m afraid that one day, Xi Xi will snatch my inheritance.

“If Xi Xi completes the collaboration with Xia Corporation this time, my situation will be even more difficult in the future. If she wants to snatch the inheritance, I won’t be able to resist at all. I…”

Xia Yunlou’s heart skipped a beat, and the last trace of guilt she had for Qiao Xi instantly vanished. She looked at Xia Mengyan with a face full of heartache and comforted her softly. “How could that be? You’re the daughter of the Xia family. Xi Xi is just an outsider. If it weren’t for you, she wouldn’t be able to be in charge of this collaboration at all. To put it nicely, she’s the person in charge. To put it bluntly, isn’t she just a decorative piece? Go to the Luo family with her tomorrow. You must be careful. Don’t let her cause trouble. The Luo family isn’t an existence we can offend!”

Qiao Xi stood in a corner and quietly listened to their conversation. The corners of her mouth could not help but curl up as she quickly left the Xia Corporation building.

At the entrance of the building, Song Shiyu saw Qiao Xi walking over and looked at her with a subtle expression. He lowered his voice and said, “Young Madam, Madam Xia came to look for the president while you were in a meeting.”

“Madam Xia? Xia Mengyan’s mother went to look for Gu Zheng?” Qiao Xi’s face was filled with question marks. Why was she looking for Gu Zheng?

Madam Xia was a special existence, and she rarely appeared. She did not attend any banquets held by the Xia family. Everyone even thought that Madam Xia had long passed away.

Moreover, the last time she was in the Xia family’s villa, it was Madam Xia who secretly ran over to save her behind everyone’s backs. Madam Xia even said that she was good friends with her mother back then. What was her motive for looking for Gu Zheng now?

Her status in the Xia family was inferior to that of a servant, so she rarely went out. Wasn’t she worried that she would be discovered if she rashly ran to Xia Corporation to look for Gu Zheng? What was it that made her take the risk to see Gu Zheng?

“Why is she looking for Gu Zheng?” Qiao Xi asked.

The corners of Song Shiyu’s mouth twitched. He glanced at Gu Zheng, who was leaning against the backseat with his eyes closed. He said frankly, “Young Madam, she went looking for the president mainly because she wants to see you.”

“Huh?” Qiao Xi widened her eyes. Why was Xia Mengyan’s mother looking for her at this time?

Although Madam Xia kept saying that she was her mother’s good friend back then, she was Xia Mengyan’s mother, after all. Could it be that she wanted to meet her to talk about Xia Mengyan?

Moreover, Qiao Xi was very sure that Madam Xia usually lived in seclusion and rarely went out. Even if she went out, someone would definitely follow her. Could it be that she had secretly run out?

Qiao Xi became more and more interested. “Where is she? I want to see her. Perhaps I’ll gain something unexpected!”

…

In the coffee shop beside the building of Xia Corporation.

Madam Xia sat on the sofa uneasily with her hands crossed on her lap. The coffee on the table was already cold.

Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi walked in and broke the silence in the air. Madam Xia raised her eyes nervously, while Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa and asked, “Madam Xia, why are you looking for me?”

Madam Xia looked at Gu Zheng worriedly.

Qiao Xi understood what she meant and said without the slightest hesitation, “Gu Zheng and I are husband and wife. There’s no need for me to hide my matters from him. If you think Gu Zheng is unreliable, then let’s not talk about it first.”

Madam Xia hesitated for a moment and said carefully, “Miss Qiao, no matter what you plan to do in the future, I’ll do my best to support you.”

Qiao Xi smiled and said casually, “Madam Xia, even without your support, I’ll still do whatever I want. Did you specially come over to say this?”

Madam Xia was silent as if she did not know how to speak.

“Do you know what I want to do?” Qiao Xi suddenly asked with narrowed eyes.

“I—”

This woman looked submissive. She had been trapped in the Xia family for her entire life. Her skin was very fair as if she did not get to see the sun all day long. When she talked to someone, she did not even dare to look into their eyes. She said in a low voice, “I know that you want to deal with the Xia family and Mengyan.”

Qiao Xi looked at her with a faint smile. It seemed that Madam Xia was well aware of this and was much smarter than the Xia family. Unfortunately, she did not just want to deal with the Xia family. She wanted the truth.

Since Madam Xia was a smart person, Qiao Xi did not hide it anymore. She sat up straight and looked at Madam Xia at eye level. “Madam Xia, you said that you’ll support me. But if your daughter becomes someone else’s, will you still continue supporting me?”
