1275 Is She Really Miss Qiao’s Mother?

Xia Cheng roared angrily, “Mengyan!”

Xia Mengyan was so scared that her entire body trembled. Her eyes turned red like a frightened rabbit. Tears trickled down her face as she sobbed softly. “I… I didn’t do it. It has nothing to do with me.”

At this moment, everyone understood that Xia Mengyan had clearly schemed against Miss Qiao, but they naturally could not interfere in the Xia family’s matters. The outcome of this situation would depend on how Miss Qiao wished to deal with it.

However, before Qiao Xi could speak, an angry roar sounded from the side. “Qiao Xi, you clearly knew that the porcelain sculpture that was thrown away earlier was real, so why didn’t you stop it? Mengyan is in the wrong, but you have to bear the main responsibility! If you had made yourself clear, we wouldn’t have misunderstood you. You can’t blame Mengyan alone!”

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice and could not help but widen their eyes. The person who roared was Qiao Xi’s biological mother, Xia Yunlou.

Someone said in confusion, “I don’t understand. Is Xia Yunlou Miss Qiao’s biological mother?! Why is she always helping Miss Xia deal with her daughter?!”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly. “Madam Xia, what makes you think I should take responsibility? I wasn’t the one who said that the porcelain sculpture was fake, and I wasn’t the one who gave the order to throw it away. Why would I be in the wrong? Could it be that I still have to kneel down and beg you?”

Xia Yunlou was still unconvinced. “You’re in the wrong! Back then, you should have given the position of the person in charge to Mengyan. Otherwise, why would she think of ways to snatch this position back? Mengyan is the heir of Xia Corporation, but she had to watch you become the person in charge. She just wanted to snatch back what belonged to her. This is reasonable.

“You stood there and didn’t stop the bodyguards at all when they threw away the porcelain sculpture. You just wanted to see the Xia family make a fool of ourselves, right?”

Qiao Xi was angered to the point of laughing. “So Xia Mengyan wanted to take back what was hers. Even if she did something even worse, she wouldn’t be in the wrong and it’d still be my fault, huh? I shouldn’t have agreed to be the person in charge and stole Xia Mengyan’s limelight. If I didn’t do that, she wouldn’t have schemed against me. Is that what you’re saying?

“It’s also because I didn’t stop the bodyguards that the porcelain sculpture was thrown away and the Xia family made a fool of themselves?”

Xia Yunlou was just about to nod when she heard Qiao Xi say casually, “Madam Xia, take a closer look. That bodyguard is burly. How can a weak woman like me stop him? Could it be that you want me to jump into the river with that porcelain sculpture?

“Moreover, I wasn’t the one who wanted to snatch the position of the person in charge. Young Master Luo asked me to be the person in charge because he doesn’t like Xia Mengyan. You can’t blame me for this, right?

“Madam Xia, in your eyes, whatever I do is wrong. On the contrary, even if Xia Mengyan makes a mistake, she has her reasons. Even if she causes Xia Corporation to lose this collaboration and implicates them, she’s not in the wrong, right?”

Qiao Xi laughed loudly, and her eyes were filled with ridicule. “Madam Xia, I’m very curious as well. Are you my mother or not? Why can’t I see a trace of love in your eyes?”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone could not help but start to suspect that Xia Yunlou was indeed too biased. It was clearly Xia Mengyan’s fault, but Xia Yunlou just had to blame Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi was the victim!

Young Master Luo wanted Qiao Xi to be the person in charge, but Xia Yunlou felt that Qiao Xi had stolen Xia Mengyan’s limelight. She should not forget that if Qiao Xi had not agreed to be the person in charge, Young Master Luo might not have agreed to collaborate with the Xia family at all!

If Xia Mengyan was Xia Yunlou’s daughter, everyone could understand her reaction. After all, it was normal for a mother to protect her daughter. In the eyes of all mothers, their children were the most perfect. Hence, she could naturally think that Xia Mengyan was right. However, Xia Mengyan was only her niece, while Qiao Xi was her daughter!

Her biological daughter had been wandering outside for so many years and had just been acknowledged, yet she was unwilling to give her daughter a trace of maternal love. She even thought that everything her daughter did was wrong and wished for nothing more than to make her disappear immediately. Was she really Qiao Xi’s mother?

Everyone shook their heads helplessly, their eyes filled with disdain.

Xia Yunlou’s body stiffened as she panicked. She did think so, but no matter how muddle-headed she was, she could not say it in public!

“Qiao Xi! You… You’re misinterpreting what I mean. I just want you to know your place and not snatch Mengyan’s things. You’ve just returned to the Xia family, yet you’ve already caused a mess. You…”

Even at this moment, Xia Yunlou was still criticizing Qiao Xi in front of everyone. She did not consider her at all.

“Is this Madam Xia Yunqiu’s biological sister?”

Mr. Luo suddenly spoke with a trace of mockery in his eyes. “I heard that Madam Xia Yunqiu was kind, loving, gentle, and generous, but her younger sister doesn’t have a trace of her merits!”
