The Xia family's opening ceremony ended like this. The matter of Xia Mengyan framing Qiao Xi was exposed. Xia Yunlou was not the real daughter of the Xia family, nor was she Qiao Xi's biological mother. The Xia family's secret was instantly exposed to everyone.
Xia Yunlou's body went weak. She knew that if she was no longer Yin Lianxin's daughter, her life would be completely ruined.
"Director Xia, this ceremony can't be held anymore. I'll take my leave first," Mr. Luo suddenly said.
As soon as Mr. Luo left, everyone could not sit still anymore. They stood up one after another. "Director Xia, I'm really sorry. Something happened in the company, so I have to rush over."
"Director Xia, my wife is about to give birth, so I'll leave first."
These people naturally would not say that they looked down on the Xia family. They could only find an excuse to leave.
Xia Cheng, who was standing in front of the stage, lowered his head. He looked as if he had aged ten years in an instant. He knew very well that the Xia family was really hopeless this time. The company was already in a difficult situation, and there was another force secretly dealing with them. He thought that all his difficulties would be resolved if he got close to the Luo family. Unexpectedly, not only did the collaboration get canceled, but he also offended the Luo family.
What should the Xia family do?
Xia Yunlou's legs went weak as she fell heavily to the floor. However, it was as if she could not feel any pain. She just sat there with empty eyes.
Xia Mengyan's teeth chattered as her heart ached. Why was this happening? Today was clearly supposed to be the Xia family's most glorious day, but it had become their most humiliating day.
"Qiao Xi…" After everyone left, Xia Cheng called out in an old voice.
Xia Mengyan slowly raised her eyes and realized that Qiao Xi had been standing in the corner. She looked at them indifferently and quietly watched the Xia family's disheveled appearance.
Qiao Xi's appearance completely infuriated Xia Mengyan. She was the daughter of the Xia family and a socialite of high society. What right did Qiao Xi have to look at her with such disdain?
At this moment, Xia Mengyan was unable to suppress the flames of rage in her heart anymore. Her gentle mask cracked as she pointed at Qiao Xi and roared furiously. "Qiao Xi! It's all because of you! You harmed us!"
The sharp gazes of everyone from the Xia family shot at Qiao Xi in unison, while Qiao Xi slowly raised her eyes and walked forward calmly while nodding with a smile. "That's right, it's me."
Xia Mengyan did not expect Qiao Xi to admit it so readily. She roared in exasperation, "You're also from the Xia family. What's in it for you to scheme against us? Why are you—"
"Why? What do you think?" Qiao Xi raised her eyebrows with an indifferent expression.
"We didn't do anything. You and the Luo family are the ones who joined forces to frame us!"
As soon as Xia Mengyan finished speaking, Qiao Xi sneered, her eyes filled with ridicule. "Miss Xia, do you want to record this? I can cooperate with you. I admit that I schemed against you."
"Luo Chenjiu is my subordinate. I instructed him to give you the porcelain sculpture. Everything was planned by me to expose Madam Xia's identity. Miss Xia, have you recorded everything?"
Xia Mengyan held her phone tightly with her pale fingers and could not help but tremble.
Qiao Xi's voice suddenly became aggrieved. "Miss Xia, I've already admitted that all of this was my plan. The Xia family was framed by me.
"Miss Xia, are you satisfied now?" The corners of Qiao Xi's mouth curled into a cold smile. As far as she was concerned, the Xia family had already lost and had no chance of making a comeback.
Xia Mengyan was stunned on the spot. For a moment, she did not understand what Qiao Xi meant, but Xia Cheng reacted and roared from his throat. "Qiao Xi!"
At this moment, the Xia family no longer had any credibility in everyone's hearts. If Xia Mengyan released this recording, everyone would think that the Xia family had forced Qiao Xi to admit it. Her voice was filled with grievance and helplessness. This recording could not be used as evidence at all. Instead, it would make everyone hate the Xia family even more.
Qiao Xi took a few steps forward and narrowed her eyes. "Chairman Xia, do you think I'm heartless? But I learned all of this from you! You harmed your own biological daughter! Everyone says that even a vicious tiger won't eat its cubs, but you're even more vicious than a tiger!"
"She's Xia Yunlou!" Xia Cheng pointed at Xia Yunlou and roared.
A trace of a cold snort seeped out of Qiao Xi's nose as she turned around indifferently, leaving only her back view for them to see. She said coldly, "Goodbye, Chairman Xia."
As soon as she left, Xia Cheng received countless calls. What had happened in New City Mall had already spread to Li City. Now, not only did the people of high society know about it, but the news had also spread online. The fans who once supported Xia Mengyan were the most shocked.
