1185 Shell Wind Chi
Xia ngyan suddenly had an idea. If Qiao Xi was angry at her because of a worthless shell wind chi, how would Gu Zheng react?
Perhaps Gu Zheng would think that it was just an ordinary shell wind chi and Qiao Xi was angry over nothing. He would think her temper was too bad and she was nothing like her usual weak and gentle self at all.
Grandma had taught her how to deal with won since she was young, so Xia ngyan knew very well how to destroy Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng’s relationship without batting an eyelid. Hence, she said with a smile, “Xi Xi, I know you don’t like , but Aunt is your biological mother and Aunt Yunqiu’s sister. She’s only here to see where Aunt Yunqiu lived when she was alive. What’s wrong with that? Why are you throwing a tantrum?!”
Xia Yunlou glared fiercely at Qiao Xi. “Look at how understanding ngyan is. Look at you. You’re really a rival from my previous life!”
Xia ngyan smiled. “Xi Xi, it was wrong of us to disturb you rashly, but Aunt has always missed Aunt Yunqiu, who has passed away. She knows that Aunt Yunqiu used to live here, so she brought here. I was afraid that you would be unhappy, so I brought you a gift.”
With that, Xia ngyan took out a velvet square box from her bag. Inside was a diamond-studded bracelet. She was supposed to wear it when she participated in events, but she had to use this bracelet to put on a show first.
Xia ngyan smiled sincerely and took out the bracelet from the box. She said gently, “Xi Xi, I know you have a lot of precious jewelry. This bracelet is nothing to you, but I spent a million yuan to buy it. This is just a token of my appreciation. There were so misunderstandings between us in the past. Take this bracelet as an apology.”
Qiao Xi raised her eyes slightly. Xia ngyan was taking the initiative to express goodwill? There must be sothing fishy going on.
The next second, Xia ngyan pointed at the shell wind chi on the ground and said with a smile, “Xi Xi, I’ve already given you a gift. Can you give this to ? I don’t want anything precious. I just want this shell wind chi. I felt a close affinity to it at first glance. This thing shouldn’t be important to you. Can you give it to ?”
Xia ngyan was very sure that Qiao Xi valued this shell wind chi very much, so she wanted to snatch it and cause trouble for Qiao Xi.
“No,” Qiao Xi replied coldly. However, the more she refused without hesitation, the more Xia ngyan was certain of the importance of this shell wind chi.
Xia ngyan was neither anxious nor impatient. She said regretfully, “Xi Xi, this is just a shell wind chi. I’m willing to exchange it for a bracelet worth a million yuan. Why aren’t you willing?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Xia Yunlou shouted at the top of her voice, “Qiao Xi, why are you so petty?! ngyan has already given you a bracelet worth a million yuan. She only wants this shell wind chi, but you’re unwilling to give it to her. How did I give birth to a daughter like you?!”
Xia ngyan hurriedly went forward to comfort her. “Aunt, don’t be angry at . It’s fine if Xi Xi doesn’t agree. I gave her the bracelet of my own volition. As for whether she’ll give it to or not, I won’t force her. I’m just afraid that if this matter gets out, others will say that Xi Xi doesn’t know any etiquette and accepted a bracelet worth a million yuan but refused to return the favor.”
She gave Qiao Xi a gift of 1,000,000 yuan, then chose the most worthless item among the pile of expensive items. It was completely to accommodate Qiao Xi, but Qiao Xi was unwilling to give the worthless item to her. Anyone would think that Qiao Xi was too rude.
What would Gu Zheng think of her?
Xia ngyan looked up at Gu Zheng with an aggrieved expression. “Mr. Gu, what do you think? I’m doing this for Xi Xi’s own good. I’m afraid that people will gossip about her. After all…”
“There are only four of us at the scene. If we don’t say anything, and if Miss Xia and Madam Xia don’t say anything, who will find out?” Gu Zheng interrupted Xia ngyan coldly and raised his eyebrows. “Or do you want to spread this matter and ruin Xi Xi’s reputation?”
The butler had already left the storage room. There were only the four of them present, so Gu Zheng and Qiao Xi would naturally not tell anyone. In that case, only the two of them were left.
Xia ngyan choked. Her eyes turned red as she bit her lip. “I… I don’t know what to do. I just… want this shell wind chi. If Xi Xi doesn’t want to agree to it, then forget it. I…”
Qiao Xi didn’t even look up. Xia ngyan was right. She did look down on that bracelet. It wasn’t because the gift was expensive but because it was a gift from Xia ngyan. She hated it.
“If you don’t leave, I’ll call the police.” As she spoke, Qiao Xi took out her phone. Xia Yunlou’s face was deathly pale. She knew that Qiao Xi was capable of doing so. If the police ca and arrested them, it would be too embarrassing.
