1267 Severing Mother And Daughter Relationship
“Qiao Xi’s greedy and selfish character must have been inherited from Xia Yunlou. She ruined the Xia family’s collaboration for her own selfishness. If Young Master Luo hears that the gift he gave was sold, I don’t know how angry he’ll be. If Young Master Luo blames her, the entire Xia family will suffer with her!”
“Xia Yunlou must not be a good person to raise such a shameless daughter…”
Xia Yunlou stood in the crowd, her face ashen as she gritted her teeth.
Ever since she reunited with Qiao Xi, she had been plagued by bad luck. After Xu Anran left, she was forced to return to the Xia family. Qiao Xi caused her to lose her dignity in public time and time again and be mocked by others, but she had no ability to retort.
Why did she have to be looked down on by others with Qiao Xi? Qiao Xi had led a wandering life since she was young and was not raised by her at all. Why did she have to be implicated by Qiao Xi?
Mocking and ridicule filled Xia Yunlou’s ears. She wished for nothing more than to find a hole to hide in. The high and mighty daughter of the Xia family had never been so embarrassed.
She stood up while trembling and shouted with a ferocious expression, “Qiao Xi! Tell me, where’s the porcelain sculpture? It’s not too late to find it now!”
Qiao Xi’s cold gaze landed on her. It was about time, and her plan had already begun.
“I told you, this is the real deal.”
Qiao Xi’s tone was so calm, and such an attitude completely infuriated Xia Yunlou. She felt her cheeks burn. If she could return to the past, she would not have let Qiao Xi be born.
“You’re still lying at a time like this! How did I give birth to such a bastard daughter like you?! You’re a liar, you’re arrogant, and you’re disrespectful to your elders. Are you worthy of being in the Xia family?”
Xia Yunlou felt raging flames ignite in her heart. She was even unable to control her actions as she watched what was happening in front of her. She roared without caring about her image. “Qiao Xi, I’m warning you. If you can’t take out the real porcelain sculpture, I’ll cut off all ties with you! From now on, you’re no longer my daughter!”
The entire venue was in an uproar, and everyone could not help but be surprised. Although Qiao Xi was raised by Xia Yunqiu, she was Xia Yunlou’s biological daughter, after all. The two of them had just acknowledged each other, yet Xia Yunlou wanted to cut ties with her daughter. Wasn’t this too rash?
However, everyone thought about it from Xia Yunlou’s perspective. If their daughter was a liar and was still so arrogant after being exposed, they would definitely not want to admit that they had such a daughter. Moreover, their daughter was never raised by their side since she was young, so they would not have such deep feelings for her.
However, Xia Yunlou did not choose to talk to Qiao Xi about this in private. Instead, she publicly announced that she would cut ties with Qiao Xi, causing everyone to be surprised.
Xia Yunlou glared fiercely at Qiao Xi with a vicious expression as if she was going to rush over and tear Qiao Xi into pieces in the next second.
Qiao Xi ignored her and raised her eyes to glance at the proud Xia Mengyan. She could not help but sneer. “Madam Xia, have you thought it through?”
She was still so calm and collected. Xia Yunlou only felt that she had been looked down on. She shouted without hesitation, “I’ve thought it through. I want to cut off all ties with you. After I acknowledged you, other than embarrassing me, what else have you done for me? Other people’s daughters are gems, but you’re my enemy from my previous life! From today onward, you’re no longer my daughter. The Xia family will also cut off all contact with you!”
Xia Cheng stood on the spot and watched this scene coldly. Originally, he did not want to blow things up, but he was also angry at Qiao Xi’s indifferent attitude, so he did not persuade Xia Yunlou.
It was even more impossible for Old Madam Xia, Xia Ji, and Xia Mengyan to speak up for Qiao Xi. They wished for nothing more than for Qiao Xi to leave the Xia family immediately and disappear from this world.
The entire venue was silent. After a few seconds of silence, Qiao Xi chuckled and said, “Alright.”
Qiao Xi actually agreed?
She was being abandoned by her biological mother and chased out of the Xia family. However, she did not have a trace of regret or sorrow. Did she think it was very honorable?
Such a person was really hopeless. Indeed, Xia Yunlou should cut ties with her.
Xia Cheng’s expression was gloomy like ink, and the muscles on his face trembled slightly. He did not care if Qiao Xi cut ties with Xia Yunlou or not. He only wanted to find the real porcelain sculpture now.
If Young Master Luo found out that Qiao Xi had sold the porcelain sculpture he gave her, he would definitely be furious. At that time, it was inevitable that Xia Corporation would be implicated.
The most important thing now was to find the Luo family’s porcelain sculpture and personally visit Young Master Luo to apologize. It would show that they had spent a lot of effort to make up for it, and it would also let Young Master Luo know that this was not the Xia family’s fault. It was entirely because of Qiao Xi’s greed.
Xia Cheng was uneasy. If he really offended the Luo family, the Xia family’s good days would be over.
