1197 I Have My Own Plan
Miss Ye was still brooding over Xia Mengyan rejecting the birthday banquet invitation. She did not expect that this matter had already spread throughout Li City. Now, countless people were laughing at her behind her back.
At this moment, one of Li Xing’er’s friends asked curiously, “Xing’er, do you know something? Tell us quickly. Not only did Xia Mengyan reject Miss Ye, but she also rejected Miss Bai a few days ago!”
“I heard that Miss Ye is very angry. After all, Xia Mengyan is not a socialite in Li City. Madam Ye sent her an invitation because she was giving her face. Who knew that she would reject it and not even show her any respect? She’s really too rude. How dare she say that she’s a socialite?”
“Listen to me…” Li Xing’er smiled meaningfully. “Actually, Xia Mengyan didn’t mean to refuse. It’s just that she really couldn’t go.”
“Why?”
Everyone was curious. Miss Ye, who was at the side, also pricked up her ears to listen. Because of Xia Mengyan’s rejection, she was mocked by many people. The Xia family was an outsider and did not have a deep foundation in Li City. They actually dared to reject the Ye family’s invitation. They simply did not take the Ye family seriously. Therefore, Miss Xia really wanted to know why Xia Mengyan did not come.
Li Xing’er’s lips curled into a smile as she said mysteriously, “Let me tell you, Xia Mengyan and Xia Yunlou have both been detained, so she couldn’t attend the gathering at all.”
Everyone was stunned.
Madam Ye and Miss Ye also gasped in shock. Xia Mengyan was actually detained?
Under everyone’s shocked gazes, Li Xing’er said proudly, “The Xia family was afraid that this matter would spread, so they’ve been hiding it from everyone. However, when my father and Gu Yao were discussing business that day, Gu Yao happened to be drunk and let it slip. Only then did I know that Xia Mengyan and Xia Yunlou have been arrested!”
When Qiao Xi heard Li Xing’er’s words, she almost choked on her tea.
Li Xing’er had gathered so many of her friends to gossip. She knew what Xia Mengyan and Xia Yunlou had done and stood up for her. Although they were both detained, it did not affect them much. Only by spreading this news throughout Li City would it be the greatest punishment for them.
Two days later, when Xia Mengyan and Xia Yunlou were released and they found out that the entire Li City was talking about their detention, how could they still have the face to stay in Li City?
When Qiao Xi told Li Xing’er about this earlier, Qiao Xi had asked her how she would reveal it to everyone and explain how she knew.
At that time, Li Xing’er had a mysterious expression on her face. She said that she had a brilliant plan. She did not expect her brilliant plan to involve Gu Yao. Gu Yao was really pitiful!
At this moment, Li Xing’er cleared her throat and said, “Gu Yao was the one who told my father about this. Gu Yao has many friends and connections. Moreover, this matter is related to his sister-in-law, Qiao Xi, so it’s not strange for him to know. He was also drunk and accidentally let it slip. My father told my mother and me. I thought that I had to share such a big piece of news with my good friends, which is why I’m telling you.”
“This has something to do with Qiao Xi? What’s going on? Xing’er, tell me quickly. Why was Xia Mengyan arrested?” The young ladies were so anxious that they stomped their feet. They all wanted to know how the usually high and mighty Xia Mengyan fell from grace.
Madam Ye and Miss Ye were also focused on waiting for Li Xing’er to speak.
Li Xing’er stopped keeping them in suspense. “You all know that Qiao Xi was abandoned when she was young. Later on, although she reunited with Xia Yunlou, the mother and daughter didn’t have a good relationship. A week ago, Xia Mengyan and Xia Yunlou secretly went to the Qiao family’s villa and happened to meet Qiao Xi. After the two of them left, Xia Mengyan said that she lost her diamond bracelet and incited Xia Yunlou. Xia Yunlou went to the police in a fit of anger and said that Qiao Xi stole it and demanded the police arrest Qiao Xi. That bracelet was worth a million yuan. If she was sentenced, she might be jailed for 10 years! As Qiao Xi’s mother, she actually believed a few words from Xia Mengyan. She said that she was afraid that Xia Mengyan would be sad after losing the bracelet and insisted on making Qiao Xi pay the price!”
The eyes of the daughters of wealthy families were filled with shock. They were born into wealthy families and had seen many dirty things like mistresses and illegitimate daughters working together to deal with the legitimate daughters of wealthy families. However, they did not expect to hear that a biological mother had helped her niece and wronged her daughter. She even insisted on calling the police and demanding her daughter go to jail!
Li Xing’er said, “They went too far!”
The young ladies said, “Yes! They really went too far!”
