1269: Nothing To Say

Nothing To Say

Qiao Xi looked at Xia Cheng with interest. She really wanted to see Xia Cheng's shocked and regretful expression when he found out the truth. If he found out that the instigator of all this today was Xia Mengyan and the person who embarrassed the Xia family was his most beloved granddaughter, how exciting would Xia Cheng's expression be?2

After a while, Xia Ji sent someone to bring over an exquisite sandalwood box. Just by looking at the box, one knew that the item inside was expensive. The bodyguards were careful, afraid that the item inside would knock against something.

Xia Mengyan smiled sweetly, took the microphone, and said gently, "I'm very sorry to have delayed everyone's time and made you see some unhappy things. We indeed don't have Young Master Luo's porcelain sculpture in our hands, but we do have a treasure personally carved by the Luo family's head."

As soon as she finished speaking, she smiled at Qiao Xi in embarrassment. "Xi Xi, I'm sorry. I don't want to embarrass you, but we can't offend the Luo family. I can only take out this porcelain sculpture now. I hope you won't blame me."

Xia Mengyan stared fixedly into Qiao Xi's eyes, wanting to see a trace of anger in them. However, Qiao Xi's eyes were so calm from the beginning until the end as if everything had nothing to do with her. Instead, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. "Of course not."

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and met Xia Mengyan's eyes. A trace of ridicule actually appeared in Qiao Xi's eyes. Xia Mengyan's entire body instantly trembled. Why was she still so indifferent?

Xia Cheng said unhappily, "Mengyan, what have you done to her? If she hadn't messed up this matter, you wouldn't have to step out and clean up her mess! What right does she have to blame you? So what if she doesn't blame you? She's no longer a member of the Xia family!"

Xia Mengyan still advised gently, "Grandpa, don't say that about Xi Xi. It was definitely not her intention. She must be facing her own difficulties. Xi Xi, although you made a mistake today, you'll always be a member of the Xia family. Today's matter won't spread. We'll try our best to suppress it. I hope everyone here can give Xi Xi a chance. She's still young and definitely won't be stupid in the future."

Xia Mengyan was so tolerant and kind. Not only did she comfort Xia Cheng, but she also spoke up for Qiao Xi. Everyone praised her in succession. As expected of the daughter of the Xia family. Even though Qiao Xi had snatched her position as the person in charge, she did not have the slightest resentment. Instead, she kept helping Qiao Xi clean up her mess. In the end, she even advised everyone not to spread this matter, lest Qiao Xi's reputation be affected.

Seeing that Qiao Xi was silent, Xia Mengyan asked softly, "Xi Xi, promise me not to do anything stupid in the future, alright?"

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly, and her eyes were filled with coldness. Xia Mengyan instantly felt that Qiao Xi did not take her seriously at all. No matter how she acted and slandered Qiao Xi in front of everyone, Qiao Xi would not care.

Anger surged in Xia Mengyan's heart as she gritted her teeth. "Xi Xi, don't you have anything to say?"

Everyone's gaze landed on Qiao Xi. This woman had ruined the opening ceremony that Xia Corporation had been preparing for a long time with a fake gift. At this point, she could only show weakness and beg for mercy.

In the next second, Qiao Xi smiled lazily. "No."

Xia Mengyan's expression froze. She pretended to be helpless and advised, "Xi Xi, I know you blame me for occupying your position today, but I have no choice—"

"Miss Xia." Qiao Xi interrupted her and raised her eyebrows. "I never said I blamed you. I really have nothing to say."

Qiao Xi truly did not have anything to say. She just wanted to see the expressions of the Xia family after finding out the truth. She also wanted to know if Xia Yunlou would shamelessly look for her again after cutting ties with her.

Xia Mengyan was a little aggrieved. "Since Xi Xi doesn't want to say anything, we won't waste any more time. After all, today is the opening ceremony of New City Mall."

Immediately after, she straightened her back and raised her voice. "Now, I'll show everyone the masterpiece of the Luo family!"

Xia Mengyan smiled in embarrassment. "This collaboration is very important to Xia Corporation. Xi Xi is young and has never been in charge of a collaboration project. That's why she went astray. As her sister, I should help her take responsibility. Everyone, I ask that you don't blame her."

With that, Xia Mengyan opened the box. There was a beautiful porcelain sculpture of a crabapple tree inside. It shone under the sunlight.

Qiao Xi revealed a trace of ridicule when she saw the porcelain sculpture.
