1317 Fake Banquet

“Well done.” Madam Tan took out a check from her bag and placed it on the table. “This is my personal reward to the Xia family. Take it.”

Xia Cheng picked it up and saw that it was a check for 100 million. This sum of money was definitely nothing to the Brook family, but to the Xia family, who was already in a precarious situation, it could save their lives! With this sum of money, they would have a chance to come back. Sooner or later, they would let those who mocked them know the Xia family’s true strength.

As for Qiao Xi, she could only pray for the best once she went to Y Nation.

What happened in New City Mall was indeed Xia Mengyan’s scheme and a result of Xia Mengyan’s own selfish desires, but Qiao Xi did not consider the Xia family’s interests at all. She even joined forces with the Luo family to make the Xia family look bad. She exposed Xia Yunlou’s ident.i.ty in public and forced her to change her name to Xia Lan.

The Xia family had already fallen into such a state. Xia Cheng only wanted Qiao Xi to get married. What was wrong with that? All these problems started because of Qiao Xi, so she should compensate the Xia family.

“Thank you, Madam Tan. Don’t worry, Xi Xi will be your daughter-in-law from now on.” Xia Cheng smiled extremely obsequiously, his old face filled with wrinkles.

Madam Tan smiled in satisfaction. “Your Xia family is quite capable. My son is different from ordinary people, so I’ve never refused anything he wants since he was young. Now that he has taken a liking to a woman, I have to satisfy her. I hope you can understand a mother’s heart.”

“Of course, I understand.” Xia Cheng hurriedly nodded and subconsciously looked at Young Master Tan, who was at the side. He smiled obsequiously. “Young Master Tan has a n.o.ble status. Young Master Tan is out of Xi Xi’s league. How could she refuse?”

“Well said! With my son’s ident.i.ty, it’s absolutely more than enough to marry her. I hope this marriage won’t go wrong,” Madam Tan said as she looked affectionately at Young Master Tan beside her. “Lil’ Yu, Miss Qiao will be able to marry you soon. Although Qiao Xi’s ident.i.ty isn’t n.o.ble enough, she’s very beautiful. You must be gentle with her this time and not kill her. It’s best if she gives birth to a child for you as soon as possible.”

…

In the afternoon.

Gu Yao asked nervously, “No way. Are you really going to the Xia family? You know that those b.a.s.t.a.r.ds have ill intentions, yet you still want to go over? Are you crazy?”

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “Xia Cheng said that I can bring the others over.”

“Who are you bringing over?! That’s clearly a fake banquet! You might not be able to come back if you go. If anything happens to you, how will Gu Zheng survive?!”

As Gu Yao spoke, he was suddenly stunned for a moment and looked at Qiao Xi in surprise. “Right, Gu Zheng should know about the Xia family too, right? But he probably doesn’t know that you agreed to go to the Xia family. If he finds out, he definitely won’t agree to let you go.”

The corners of Qiao Xi’s mouth twitched slightly. ‘This kid’s guess is quite accurate.’

She smiled and waved her hand. “Oh, it doesn’t matter.

“I’m indeed going to bring someone with me this time. This person is a professional reporter from a TV station. I’m doing this to protect myself!”

Only then did Gu Yao react. “What? You’re just bringing a reporter over?”

Qiao Xi stroked her hair weakly and said with a smile, “Yes! Moreover, it was Chairman Xia who said it himself. I can bring anyone I want. I’m only bringing one friend over. Is there a problem?”

This reporter was Eldest Brother’s friend from a TV station. To be able to enter Li City TV Station to be a reporter, he must be very professional. He should be able to record the situation at the scene and broadcast it.

Qiao Xi wanted everyone to see Madam Tan s.n.a.t.c.hing a commoner to be her daughter-in-law on the spot. The Xia family would definitely cause a commotion for the sake of money. Since they dared to do this, they had to bear the consequences.

Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. It was uncertain who would marry Young Master Tan in the end!

A moment later, a gentle-looking man in bodyguard clothes walked in. “Miss Qiao.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and sized up the man in front of her. The person her brother chose would be fine. She smiled. “Reporter Fang.”

Reporter Fang had already hidden the pinhole camera on his body. “Mr. Shen said that he wants me to follow you to the Xia family as a bodyguard to avoid unnecessary trouble. Anyway, I’m a reporter and have disguised myself as someone with other professions in the past. I’m already used to it. I believe I’ll definitely be able to cooperate with you to complete the mission.”
