1273 Luo Chenjiu Disappeared
Mr. Luo’s eyes were filled with mockery. “The Luo family’s villa? Chairman Xia, didn’t you say that the person in charge is Miss Qiao? Why did Miss Xia go to the Luo family’s villa, then?”
Xia Mengyan clenched her fists nervously. Of course, she could not tell the truth. She must not let others know that she wanted to snatch Qiao Xi’s position.
“Forget it, I don’t want to interfere in the Xia family’s domestic matters.” Mr. Luo’s eyes suddenly turned sharp. “Miss Xia, you insist that this porcelain sculpture was given to you by the head of the family. In that case, tell me who the head of the family sent to give it to you.”
Xia Mengyan replied without hesitation, “Luo Chenjiu! His name is Luo Chenjiu! He’s the ninth apprentice of the head of the family. He personally gave me the porcelain sculpture.”
Everyone sized up Xia Mengyan. She did not look like she was lying. If she wanted to prove whether it was true or not, she could just call Luo Chenjiu over and ask.
Unexpectedly, Mr. Luo snorted. “Luo Chenjiu? The patriarch’s apprentice?
“Miss Xia, you’ve really impressed me. You’re so self-righteous even when you’re lying. I’m sorry, but our patriarch doesn’t have any apprentices, and there’s no one called Luo Chenjiu from the Luo family!”
The entire venue was in an uproar.
If this porcelain sculpture was a fake, it was possible that Xia Mengyan had been deceived by Luo Chenjiu. However, Mr. Luo had made it very clear that Luo Chenjiu was not from the Luo family and the head of the family did not have any apprentices. Then who was Luo Chenjiu? Did Xia Mengyan make it up?
Qiao Xi stood in the crowd and smirked.
There was indeed no Luo Chenjiu in the Luo family because Luo Chenjiu and Mr. Luo were characters played by her eldest brother!
Who would have thought that Best Actor Shen Yu, who was renowned throughout the country, was putting on an act in front of them with a human skin mask? Moreover, no one noticed any flaws.
Xia Mengyan’s body went soft, and she almost fell. Sweat dripped from her forehead. Her mind was a mess, and Luo Chenjiu’s face appeared in her mind. It gradually became blurry. In the end, she could not even remember that person’s face.
Impossible! This porcelain sculpture was given to her by Luo Chenjiu!
Xia Mengyan took out her phone in a panic. “It’s not like that. That day, Luo Chenjiu called me and asked me to go to the Luo family’s villa to get the porcelain sculpture. At that time, many people in the Luo family saw it. There’s a call record on my phone. I can prove it…”
She suddenly stopped talking.

Xia Cheng said anxiously, “Mengyan, quickly show him the call records!”
Xia Mengyan’s fingers quickly moved across the screen as she stared at the call history.
Why was it gone? Even the message she sent earlier was gone. The person called Luo Chenjiu had completely disappeared without a trace!
This was impossible!
“What’s wrong? Where’s your call history? Now that things have come to this, do you still want to continue lying to me? You used a lame lie to fabricate another lie. You keep saying that this is the work of our patriarch, but you didn’t know that the patriarch doesn’t like crabapples. The patriarch and young master both like peach blossoms because Madam liked peach blossoms the most when she was alive. She even planted a ten-mile peach forest on Xuan Island. After Madam died of illness, the patriarch stopped sculpting, and the young master only sculpted peach blossoms.
“Miss Xia, if you want to lie, please go and understand the situation first. Such clumsy methods really make me doubt your IQ!
“Crabapple, ninth apprentice… Your lies come one after another. I really don’t know how you came up with them!”
Xia Mengyan’s face was pale, and the blood in her body instantly froze.
Peach blossoms?
Everyone also heard Mr. Luo’s words—peach blossoms.
The Luo family’s patriarch and young master carved peach blossoms because the deceased patriarch’s wife liked peach blossoms. The person who took out a peach blossom porcelain sculpture was Miss Qiao, who was mocked!
If the porcelain sculpture Miss Xia brought out was a fake, then was the one Miss Qiao brought out real?
Xia Mengyan broke out in a cold sweat. She was at a loss, and her heart ached. She did not understand why she had lost for no reason.
At this moment, Mr. Luo’s cold voice sounded. “I won’t bicker with you about the fake for now. Chairman Xia, where’s the peach blossom porcelain sculpture that Young Master gave to your Xia Corporation?”
Everyone was instantly stunned and looked at Xia Cheng.
That porcelain sculpture was the real one that Young Master Luo had given them. Unfortunately…
Xia Cheng’s entire body trembled, and the veins on his forehead popped out. “That peach blossom porcelain sculpture… is in Qiao Xi’s hands. Yes, it’s in Qiao Xi’s hands…”
“Heh! Director Xia, have you lost your memory?” A cold female voice sounded from not far away. Qiao Xi slowly walked over from the crowd. Her figure was slim, and her eyes were calm and clear with a trace of ridicule.
“I don’t have any porcelain sculptures in my hands. Just now, Miss Xia said that my porcelain sculpture was a fake, so you got someone to throw it away!” She raised her eyebrows and pointed at the surging river outside. “It’s probably hundreds of miles away by now. Why don’t you send someone into the water to fish it out?”
