Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1246 Kneel And Apologize

At this moment, Qiao Xi’s phone rang. The corners of her mouth curled into a smile when she heard the voice on the phone.

Xia Cheng’s extremely kind voice came from the phone. “Xi Xi…”

He was naturally calling to beg Qiao Xi to return to the Xia Corporation because the person in charge, Luo Qing, had chosen Qiao Xi to collaborate with. At that time, when he said this name, everyone was dumbfounded.

Previously, they mocked Qiao Xi for being chased away by the Xia family and not being liked by the Xia family. Now, they could not help but feel ashamed. Miss Qiao was someone Young Master Luo had acknowledged.

Xia Cheng’s expression was ugly, and the corners of his mouth twitched. “But Xi Xi…”

“Mr. Xia, our young master’s words are very clear. He only wants Miss Qiao to be in charge. If you’re unwilling to let Miss Qiao come back and insist on watching Xia Corporation be destroyed, we have nothing to say.”

Luo Zheng said, “We don’t care if Miss Qiao is Miss Xia’s biological daughter or adopted daughter. In short, we’ve already decided on Miss Qiao. If you don’t agree, then I might think that you’re disregarding the company’s safety for the sake of your illegitimate child.”

“Director Xia! You have to take the overall situation into consideration!”

“Quickly invite Miss Qiao back! She’s also from the Xia family!”

Hearing everyone’s shouts, Xia Cheng’s throat was dry. How could he beg Qiao Xi? However, when he saw the Luo family’s determined appearance, he knew that if he did not lower his head, Xia Corporation would face a devastating blow.

He could only brace himself and call Qiao Xi. “Xi Xi, you’ll be in charge of the collaboration! Are you coming over now? I’ll send a car to pick you up. Can you come over now?”

“What collaboration?” Qiao Xi lazily lay on the bed and replied with an indifferent expression, “What does the Xia family’s matter have to do with me?”

Xia Cheng suppressed his anger and said patiently, “Xi Xi, I know that the designs belong to your mother. I didn’t investigate it clearly before. Now that the Xia family wants to collaborate with the Luo family, as Yunqiu’s daughter, you should be in charge of the collaboration this time…”

“Why should I be the person in charge? Shouldn’t we let Xia Mengyan do it?” Qiao Xi said slowly.

Xia Cheng was speechless, and the flames of rage in his heart surged. Qiao Xi was only a junior, yet she was actually putting on airs in front of him. Did she really think of herself as someone important?

However, in front of Young Master Luo and the many higher-ups, he did not dare reprimand Qiao Xi. He could only try his best to suppress his anger and say gently, “Xi Xi, it’s my fault for what happened before. I misunderstood you. I apologize…”

“That’s not necessary. I don’t need your apology.” Qiao Xi’s attitude was still casual. “If you want me to go back and be in charge of the collaboration, that’s fine, but…”

Everyone in the lobby became nervous. What request did she have?

“But I have a request.” Qiao Xi said with a smile, “When I left Xia Corporation today, I said that even if you begged me, I wouldn’t go back. But I can give you a chance now. I just want to know why Xia Ji’s name is written on my mother’s designs. Did Xia Ji lie to everyone, or did someone plan this with him?”

Qiao Xi’s voice was very soft, but every word she said was forcing the Xia family to admit the truth. She continued, “If you’re willing to make the mastermind kneel and apologize to me, I can be the person in charge of the collaboration.”

Get the mastermind to kneel and apologize to her? But who was the mastermind? Was it Xia Ji who claimed Xia Yunqiu’s works as his, or was it Xia Cheng who was hiding the truth for Xia Ji?

The lobby was silent. Qiao Xi’s words were truly unacceptable to Xia Cheng. Why did he have to kneel and apologize to her? No matter if it was him or Xia Ji, it was absolutely impossible for them to kneel to her!

Qiao Xi waited for a moment, but there was still no sound on the other end of the phone. She had already lost her patience. “Then forget it…”

“Grandpa, I’ll apologize!”

At this moment, Xia Mengyan’s eyes turned red as she said pitifully, “Since someone has to take responsibility, I’m willing to go. You and my father are both elders. How can you kneel down to Xi Xi? This will also affect Xi Xi’s reputation. Xi Xi and I are sisters. It’s most suitable for me to kneel and apologize to her.”

When everyone heard Xia Mengyan’s words, a trace of admiration appeared in their eyes. They had to admit that Miss Xia was quite responsible and knew how to take the overall situation into consideration. She indeed had the demeanor of a daughter of a rich family.

Moreover, everyone knew very well that Xia Ji was the one who snatched Xia Yunqiu’s designs 24 years ago. At that time, Xia Mengyan was just born and did not know anything at all. However, she actually took the initiative to take responsibility and kneel down to apologize to Miss Qiao.
