BXBX NOVEL Chapter 1314 Overestimating Oneself
Xia Mengyan lay on the sofa like a zombie.
"Heh! So this is the Xia family!"
Suddenly, a disdainful female voice came from the door.
Everyone from the Xia family immediately looked in the direction of the voice. Old Madam Xia was already unhappy. Seeing this, she shouted, "Who are you? This is the Xia family\'s residence. Get out!"
A middle-aged woman stood outside the door, followed by more than ten bodyguards and a fat, greasy man.
The woman was dressed elegantly and elegantly. Her skin was also very delicate. She was wearing a high-end dress with an expensive fur coat. She had a shiny gemstone necklace and earrings on her. She also had a lace hat that looked like it was from Y Nation.
The woman sized up everyone. "You\'re Qiao Xi\'s family?"
Xia Cheng\'s expression instantly darkened when he heard Qiao Xi\'s name.
The personal assistant beside the woman said respectfully, "Madam, that\'s Madam Xia Lan. A few days ago, she was still called Xia Yunlou. I heard that she\'s Miss Qiao Xi\'s biological mother, but there are also rumors that she\'s a fake. They haven\'t been confirmed yet."
The woman snorted, her eyes filled with disdain. "She\'s that impostor!"
The assistant nodded. "Yes."
Xia Lan\'s expression instantly changed drastically, and her voice was sharp. "What nonsense are you talking about?! Who are you? What are you doing in my house?"
The woman pointed at the chair beside her. The assistant immediately took a handkerchief and carefully wiped the chair beside him. The woman sat down elegantly and reprimanded, "Why are you shouting? You have no manners at all! Of course, I\'m here today for an important matter."
Then, the assistant helped the fat and greasy man sit beside the woman. He then leaned closer to the woman and said in a low voice, "Madam, the Xia family is already struggling at death\'s door under Gu Zheng\'s suppression. Of course, they\'ll agree to your request."
A trace of pride flashed past the woman\'s eyes. She wore white lace gloves with both hands and smiled coldly. "Gu Zheng? I really didn\'t expect the little bastard who could be trampled on by everyone to not only survive but make a name for himself. However, no matter how capable Gu Zheng is, he\'s not our match. He\'s like an ant trying to shake a tree. He overestimates himself!"
The assistant smiled and nodded.
The woman leaned against the chair and glanced at the Xia family with disdain. Finally, her gaze landed on Xia Lan. "Xia Lan, you\'re really too useless!"
Xia Lan\'s expression was extremely ugly.
"You can\'t even control your own daughter. As her mother, you have all rights to control her affairs and marriage. However, in the end, not only were you unable to control Qiao Xi, but the Xia family even ended up in this state because of your incompetence!"
Xia Lan roared crazily, "Get lost! Get out!"
The surrounding bodyguards immediately gathered over, constantly vigilant against anyone hurting the madam. The woman said unhurriedly, "I\'m here today to bring you good news. I can protect Xia Corporation. Moreover, Qiao Xi won\'t be an obstacle to you anymore."
Xia Cheng did not dare to easily believe the other party, but Xia Lan was so excited that she bared her fangs and brandished her claws. "What\'s your plan? I\'ll agree to anything as long as you can save the Xia family and make Qiao Xi completely disappear! That little b*tch isn\'t my daughter. She makes me wish I was dead! I wish I could kill her!"
"Qiao Xi is your daughter." The woman smiled lightly. "Xia Lan, I\'ll give the Xia family two billion as a betrothal gift."
Everyone widened their eyes.
"My son wants to marry Qiao Xi, and if you accept the betrothal gift, the Xia family is our in-laws. Xia Lan, Qiao Xi is your daughter. Although your relationship isn\'t good, you\'re related by blood, after all. As long as you agree to let her marry my son, everything will be easy."
The Xia family looked at each other in silence for a few seconds. Xia Cheng said awkwardly, "But Gu Zheng…"
The woman saw greed in their eyes and chuckled. "I don\'t take Gu Zheng seriously at all. Sooner or later, I\'ll… get rid of this irksome bastard. When the time comes, Qiao Xi won\'t have Gu Zheng as her backer anymore. If you ask her to marry my son, how can she refuse?
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. I think you know our family, Chairman Xia. My husband is…"
