Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself Chapter 1260 The Ninth Apprentice Of The Family Head

Chapter 1260 The Ninth Apprentice Of The Family Head

"Xi Xi is still young, after all. I'm really worried about leaving the collaboration to her. It'll definitely be best if you can persuade Young Master Luo to change the person in charge, but if Young Master Luo is unwilling, you can't force him. As long as you can say a few more words to Young Master Luo and make him see you in a new light, this trip will be worth it."

Xia Mengyan nodded gently. "Grandpa, I understand. I'll definitely do my best to complete the mission, but…"

She looked behind her. "Why isn't Xi Xi here yet? Didn't we agree on the time yesterday? If she's late, Young Master Luo might be unhappy."

Xia Cheng frowned as a trace of disgust flashed past his eyes. "I really don't know why Young Master Luo insisted on choosing her to be the person in charge. She clearly doesn't have the ability…"

Before he could finish, the door of the Luo family's villa was pushed open. A young man in a suit walked out and smiled at the two of them. He asked respectfully, "May I know if you're the person in charge?"

Xia Mengyan was slightly hesitant, but Xia Cheng's gaze changed. He looked around, and there were no cars approaching in the distance. Not only was Qiao Xi late, but she also did not even call. It was really rude to let them wait here.

"Yes! She's the person in charge and my granddaughter." Xia Cheng walked forward and introduced Xia Mengyan.

The man did not suspect anything and smiled gently. He made way and bent down slightly. "Miss, please come in."??ee?????v??.???

Xia Mengyan's heart trembled as she looked at Xia Cheng in shock. Xia Cheng shot her a look and said softly, "Mengyan, go in first. I'll help you handle the rest. Perform well and strive to win Young Master Luo's favor, do you understand?"

Xia Mengyan nodded. If Young Master Luo asked why Qiao Xi was not here, she would just say that Qiao Xi was late. Grandpa was afraid that Young Master Luo would be anxious from waiting, so he had her go in first. She would let Young Master Luo know that she was the most suitable person in charge. She was more outstanding than Qiao Xi!

At this moment, she was not uneasy but filled with confidence. She raised her head and stuck out her chest as she followed the man into the villa. The servants and bodyguards on both sides all bowed to Xia Mengyan. The young man's att.i.tude was also very respectful. "Miss, may I know your name?"

Xia Mengyan's body suddenly tensed up as she replied tentatively, "My surname is Xia."

She was afraid that the other party would realize that she was not the real person in charge, so she sounded a little uneasy. However, the other party did not seem to notice it and was still gentle and respectful. "Miss Xia, our young master found out that Xia Corporation has built a new mall. He'll send a gift, but he suddenly has something urgent to handle and has already left Li City. He won't be able to send the gift on time. He asked me to apologize to you."

Xia Mengyan's face was filled with disappointment. The man lowered his head and curled his lips into a mocking smile. When he looked up again, his expression had already returned to normal. "Our family head knows about this and has decided to personally carve the gift. I believe it'll be completed soon. At that time, the family head will send someone to Li City to hand it to you, Miss Xia.

"Miss Xia, you should also know that our Luo family has never interacted with the outside world, so it's not convenient for us to appear on the day of the mall's opening. As long as you take out a gift personally carved by the head of the family, that'll be enough to prove the relations.h.i.+p between the Xia and Luo families."

Hearing these words, Xia Mengyan was so excited that her entire body was trembling. She was really flattered by the Luo family's goodwill. The head of the Luo family actually wanted to personally carve a gift for the Xia family? He even allowed her to show it to everyone on the day of the mall's opening.

But who was this man? Were his words reliable?

The man could tell what Xia Mengyan was thinking. He smiled and said softly, "Miss Xia, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Luo Chenjiu, the ninth apprentice of the head of the family. This is my business card. Miss Xia, feel free to look for me if you need anything."

Xia Mengyan took the man's business card and could not help but feel shy facing the young, handsome, and extraordinary young man. However, she did not notice the disdain that flashed past Luo Chenjiu's eyes.

"Miss Xia, you're the person in charge recognized by our young master. If there's any problem during the collaboration, we'll contact you directly and you'll pa.s.s the message along to the Xia family. Do you have any problems with that?"

Luo Chenjiu's eyes were filled with bewitchment. He had given Xia Mengyan a lot of power. She was the bridge between the Xia and Luo families. From now on, she could represent the Xia family to discuss a collaboration with the Luo family. At the same time, she would convey the Luo family's intentions to the Xia family.
