Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1255 Waiting For Xia Mengyan To Jump Into A Trap

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and looked at Xia Mengyan with a faint smile.

Xia Mengyan felt a burning gaze land on her. She raised her eyes slightly and met Qiao Xi’s cold eyes. Her heart thumped violently, but she still had to remain calm and smile in embarrassment. “Seniors, you’re too kind. I’m not as outstanding as you say. I just want to do something for the company.”

“Oh? Miss Xia, you know ancient book restoration technology?” Qiao Xi asked with slight ridicule.

Before Xia Mengyan could say anything, the higher-up at the side snorted. “Miss Qiao, you must have heard of the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor, right? That famous cultural relic restorer is Miss Xia. A few years ago, she caused a sensation in the cultural relic world! If you don’t know, you can search it up online. You’ll definitely be able to find relevant information.”

“That’s not necessary.” Qiao Xi’s expression did not change. She knew that she was very famous, so of course, she did not need to look up information about herself online. However, what did the Thousand Faces Immortal Doctor have to do with Xia Mengyan?

Originally, Qiao Xi’s plan was to let Xia Mengyan participate in the collaboration, then let the Luo family plot against Xia Mengyan. Then, she would let the Luo family expose Xia Yunlou’s true identity. This way, Xia Mengyan would completely offend the Luo family. The Xia family and the Luo family would part ways, and Xia Yunlou’s secret would not be kept anymore. Hence, it was a plan to kill three birds with one stone.

However, Xia Mengyan had actually taken the initiative to give her a new plan. Qiao Xi was overjoyed and suddenly felt a little grateful to Xia Mengyan! Was she going to let her experience the thrill of four kills?

The higher-up had a serious expression. Could it be that Qiao Xi did not agree?

He hurriedly said, “Miss Xia is so outstanding. Let her—”

“Sure!” Qiao Xi smiled gently at everyone, and there was no dissatisfaction in her eyes.

The higher-up had originally prepared countless words to deal with Qiao Xi, but now, he held them all in his throat.

She actually agreed? She agreed so easily?

If Xia Mengyan became Qiao Xi’s assistant and cooperated with the Luo family to restore the designs, Qiao Xi’s identity as the person in charge would be useless. After all, Xia Mengyan was from the Xia family, while Qiao Xi’s surname was ‘Qiao’. Moreover, she was not close to the Xia family, so everyone would naturally not give her credit. However, Qiao Xi was not dissatisfied in the slightest and agreed with a smile. It seemed that she was a fool and did not understand the reason at all.

Everyone’s eyes were filled with mockery as they heaved a sigh of relief. They originally thought that Miss Qiao was not easy to deal with, but they did not expect her to be fooled with just a few words.

However, this was good too. It was best if she was just all looks and no brains. She should obediently stay in the position of the person in charge. She did not have to interfere in other matters.

Qiao Xi smiled as she looked at everyone. “Is there anything else?”

Xia Cheng sized up Qiao Xi with slight doubt. Seeing that her expression was normal, he slowly said, “Xi Xi, now that you’ve agreed, let Mengyan follow you to the Luo family tomorrow. After all, she has negotiated collaborations a few times and is more experienced than you. If the Luo family has any requests, you can negotiate with her.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows. “Sure! Right, Young Master Luo even called today to say that for the sake of celebrating this collaboration, he’ll send over a porcelain sculpture as a gift for Xia Corporation’s new mall.”

The moment that was said, everyone widened their eyes. Xia Cheng could not remain calm anymore and was instantly overjoyed. The Luo family was actually willing to give the Xia family a porcelain sculpture. Now that they had the Luo family’s backing, the Xia family could quickly escape their predicament and improve.

Xia Mengyan’s voice trembled with excitement. “Xi Xi, did Young Master Luo really say that? When will he come?”

“Miss Xia, you’ll know when you go to the Luo family with me tomorrow.” Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully.

There was a trap in the Luo family that was waiting for Xia Mengyan to jump into!

She planned to bring Xia Mengyan to the Luo family from the start. Now that the Xia family had brought it up themselves, it definitely made things easier. After all, it would definitely arouse suspicion if Qiao Xi was the one who brought it up.

Xia Mengyan could not understand why Qiao Xi was smiling. Her power was clearly about to be taken away, so how could she still smile?

After the meeting ended, Qiao Xi walked out of the meeting room and bumped into Xia Yunlou.

Xia Yunlou looked up at her and looked away guiltily. She said in a low voice, “Xi Xi…”

Qiao Xi ignored her and directly walked past her to leave. In that instant, the guilt on Xia Yunlou’s face vanished. Her eyes were filled with resentment, and she had completely changed into a different person.

When Xia Mengyan came out, she walked forward warmly. “Mengyan.”

“Aunt.” Xia Mengyan held her hand with a smile. The two of them were more like biological mother and daughter.
