1261 She Fell For It

Xia Mengyan pondered. Being a middleman in the collaboration between the two families meant she would become a special existence in the eyes of both families. Such power was too tempting.

Actually, as long as Xia Mengyan calmed down and thought about it, she would know that Luo Chenjiu could not be trusted. However, she really wanted to surpass Qiao Xi. She did not want to be trampled under Qiao Xi's feet, and she also wanted to be high and mighty.

Luo Qing recognized Qiao Xi as the person in charge only because Qiao Xi was Xia Yunqiu's adopted daughter. Qiao Xi had never been in charge of a large-scale collaboration at all. She did not have the ability, but she relied on her identity to snatch the position of the person in charge.

If Xia Mengyan refused Luo Chenjiu's suggestion, then this great power would be handed to Qiao Xi. She could not accept Qiao Xi surpassing her. She wanted everyone to see that she was the most outstanding one who was qualified to be the person in charge while Qiao Xi was just a useless woman with good looks!

She did not dare to tell Luo Chenjiu the truth, so she was silent for a few seconds before agreeing anxiously, Mr. Luo, there's no problem.

Luo Chenjiu smiled gently. Alright. If there's anything else, I'll contact you directly. When the family head's gift is ready, I'll inform you to come over.

Xia Mengyan was overjoyed, and her cheeks were slightly red. She did not expect to have an unexpected gain from coming to the Luo family this time. She walked out of the villa feeling dizzy. She was still immersed in joy when she left.

Two days later, Luo Chenjiu informed Xia Mengyan to come to the Xia family's villa and gave Xia Mengyan an exquisite box.

Xia Mengyan opened it and saw an exquisite and small porcelain sculpture inside. The craftsmanship was complicated, and the color was bright. It was obvious that it was expensive. She held the porcelain sculpture in her hand and asked uneasily, Mr. Luo, is this porcelain sculpture for me?

Luo Chenjiu nodded. Of course. Our patriarch specially made this for the Xia family.

Xia Mengyan started to feel nervous. If the porcelain sculpture was given to her, then Qiao Xi would not get a gift. Had Qiao Xi already caused a scene? After all, Qiao Xi was the person in charge of the collaboration. The porcelain sculpture should be handed to her.

The next second, Luo Chenjiu frowned and said, By the way, a woman came the afternoon you came. She claimed to be the person in charge, but she was chased away by the bodyguards.

Xia Mengyan's heart trembled. It turned out that Qiao Xi had come, but the Luo family thought that she was a liar and chased her away. Now, everyone thought that Qiao Xi had received this porcelain sculpture, but how was Qiao Xi going to take it out in public during the mall's opening ceremony in a few days?

Would she create a fake to deal with the situation first?

If that was the case, Xia Mengyan could find someone to expose Qiao Xi in advance before taking out the real porcelain sculpture. At that time, Qiao Xi's reputation would plummet and she would be utterly unqualified to shoulder the heavy responsibility. Xia Mengyan would become the legitimate person in charge.

Xia Mengyan held the box tightly and had already come up with a plan. She exchanged a few pleasantries with Luo Chenjiu before rushing home.

Luo Chenjiu looked at Xia Mengyan's back view and silently walked into the dark. He tore off the human skin mask from his face, revealing a familiar face.

Immediately after, another figure appeared behind the man. Luo Qing walked out with a calm expression. His tone was filled with a trace of ridicule. Brother, your acting skills are really good.

Shen Yu weighed the human skin mask and smiled. They're just alright. It's mainly because you did a good job with the mask. After putting it on, my face completely changed. Xia Mengyan wasn't able to tell at all.

Luo Qing raised an eyebrow.

Shen Yu watched Xia Mengyan get into the car and said with a smile, Everything is as Little Six expected. Xia Mengyan plans to let Little Six make a fool of herself in public and occupy the position of the person in charge.

Luo Qing took out his phone and sent Qiao Xi a message: [Xi Xi, she's been tricked.]

In the Xia family's villa.

Mengyan! You said that you're the person in charge of the collaboration with the Luo family? Xia Yunlou's face was filled with surprise as she asked hesitantly, What about Qiao Xi?

Xia Mengyan frowned and replied helplessly, I don't know! When I went to the Luo family that day, Xi Xi didn't appear for a long time, so Grandpa asked me to go in first. Later, I heard that Xi Xi had contacted the Luo family, but the Luo family thought that she was a liar and chased her away. Now that the Luo family has confirmed that I'm the person in charge, they even said that they would contact me directly if anything happened in the future. They even handed me their gift to the Xia family.

In that case, the Luo family has already decided that you're in charge, yet Qiao Xi still went to look for you to cause trouble? How could she do this? We're all family. What does it matter who between the two of you is in charge? Why must she snatch the position from you? I'll go argue with her now! Xia Yunlou said indignantly.
