"My husband is from the Brook family in Y Nation," the woman said arrogantly.
The Brook family?
Xia Cheng's hair stood on end. This woman in front of him was actually from the Brook family.
"You can call me Madam Tan here." Madam Tan looked up slightly. "Director Xia, this is a good opportunity. I don't have that much time to wait for you to consider."
As long as Qiao Xi married that man, the Xia family would be able to obtain two billion yuan. Moreover, Gu Zheng would not take revenge on them. There would be no consequences? Xia Cheng was so excited that his breathing quickened.
Madam Tan looked at him arrogantly and said slowly, "My son fell sick when he was young and is different from ordinary people. Qiao Xi will definitely not like him. If she's unwilling to marry him, then this two billion yuan betrothal gift…"
That was two billion!
Xia Cheng and Ai Sumei looked at each other, their eyes filled with greed and urgency.
Sumei was already close to going crazy. In just a few days, she went from the respected Old Madam Xia to a mistress and a shrew who was despised by everyone. The Xia family's company was gone, and everything was gone. However, this two billion yuan could allow them to make a comeback!
Her voice was sharp as she shouted anxiously, "No! Qiao Xi has to agree. It's her blessing to be able to marry Young Master Tan. She has to marry him even if she doesn't want to!"
Xia Lan's face was ferocious as she smiled crazily.
Qiao Xi caused her to lose her dignity and the Xia family to go bankrupt. She had to receive the punishment she deserved.
Actually, this was not considered a punishment and was also for Qiao Xi's own good. The betrothal gift was two billion, and it was sufficient to prove that that fool was very rich. Moreover, Madam Tan said that she would get rid of Gu Zheng sooner or later. Instead of letting Qiao Xi be a widow, she might as well remarry as soon as possible.
Moreover, Qiao Xi was from the Xia family. What was wrong with sacrificing her marriage for the Xia family?
Madam Tan glanced coldly at everyone. "If Qiao Xi doesn't agree…"
"She'll agree! She has to agree!" Xia Lan took the list from Madam Tan's hand excitedly and said excitedly, "Qiao Xi is from the Xia family. If I ask her to marry, she has to marry!"
Young Master Tan smiled wretchedly, revealing his yellow teeth. His face was fierce.
When Xia Mengyan saw this disgusting man, she could not help but feel a chill in her heart. If Qiao Xi really married this man, the rest of her life would be completely ruined! She knew that there was always a way out. Qiao Xi could not defeat her!
Madam Tan looked at the greedy Xia family and sneered in her heart.
…
At this moment, Qiao Xi was sitting in the studio and looking at the canvas in front of her thoughtfully. The person from Ling Pavilion stood beside her and said respectfully, "Eldest Miss, that's what happened."
???????????????? ???????????????????????????? ???????????????????????? ???????????????????? ???????? ????????????????????-????????????.????????????
Qiao Xi's face was filled with confusion. "I don't remember knowing Madam Tan!"
She did not know the other party, but the other party seemed to have a grudge against her.
Qiao Xi lazily raised her eyes. "She's also from the Brook family?"
The shadow guard of Ling Pavilion nodded. "Yes."
"I don't know anyone in Y Nation. I've never met anyone from Brook's family when I was on a mission before, much less Madam Tan."
Qiao Xi carefully thought about the surname 'Tan' and frowned. "Didn't she say that she's from the Brook family? Why is she calling herself Madam Tan?"
"I've investigated this matter and found out that the Tan family and the Brook family are in a marriage alliance. They went to Y Nation to develop their careers together, so Madam Tan's husband should be of mixed blood. Everyone in Y Nation calls him Mr. Brook."
Qiao Xi nodded. She still had no impression of this person. She had indeed heard of the Brook family, but she had nothing to do with this family. Why did they come to Li City for no reason and even look for the Xia family to ask for her hand in marriage?
"Looks like Madam Tan isn't too familiar with me either, but I just don't understand why she insists that I marry her son." Qiao Xi supported her chin and thought.
The secret guard of Ling Pavilion had a subtle expression. "Eldest Miss, you're already married to President Gu, yet Madam Tan still wants you to marry her son. This is too unreasonable!"
Qiao Xi suddenly reacted. "You've just reminded me by saying that."
The shadow guard looked puzzled.
"I'm already married to Gu Zheng. Someone of Madam Tan's status must have investigated me in advance. She clearly knows that I'm already married, but she still found the Xia family to force me to marry her son. Why do I feel that she's not targeting me?"
This was because she had never interacted with the Brook family, but the other party suddenly crossed such a long distance to marry her. Moreover, if Madam Tan wanted a married woman like her to marry into her family, she would definitely offend Gu Zheng. However, Madam Tan did not seem to care about Gu Zheng at all. In that case, was she doing this to deal with Gu Zheng?
