In the study of Longwan Residential.
Song Shijing reported respectfully, "President, that's what happened."
"The Brook family?" Gu Zheng raised an eyebrow, his eyes revealing a trace of mockery. "I still don't know when I offended them."
"President, our business has never involved Y Nation. Thus, we've never collaborated with the Brook family. Since we've never t, how could there be a grudge?" Song Shijing was also puzzled.
"Now that the Brook family is becoming more and more mysterious, we can't find out the other party's true power. President, what do you think the other party wants to do?"
Gu Zheng shook his head silently, a trace of coldness flashing past his light brown eyes. The Brook family…
Although he did not know the other party, he had a feeling that the other party wanted to deal with him.
The next day, Qiao Xi received a call from Xia Cheng early in the morning.
Xia Cheng said that there were so matters related to Xia Yunqiu that she needed to handle. She could deny her relationship with Xia Lan, but Xia Yunqiu was her adoptive mother, after all. She should be present.
Moreover, although everyone suspected that she and Xia Lan were not related by blood, the Xia family had long been proficient in forging DNA tests. Even if they really wanted to do a DNA test, the Xia family would definitely tamper with it. Hence, Qiao Xi might as well not do it. In short, she was already sure that she had nothing to do with Xia Lan.
Xia Cheng said patiently, "Xi Xi, I know that you're unhappy. I won't force you to call Xia Lan your mother. You can deny her identity, but Yunqiu is your adoptive mother. She treated you like her biological daughter. Moreover, she left all her inheritance to you. Now that the Xia family is about to go bankrupt, we're prepared to split the assets. Although Yunqiu is no longer alive, she should have a share of the assets.
"Yunqiu doesn't have any children of her own. She only has you, her adopted daughter, so I'll leave the assets that belong to her to you. I still have you in my heart."
Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. Xia Cheng was really good at acting. For the sake of tricking her into going to the Xia family's residence, he was actually able to let bygones be bygones and patiently coax her.
If the shadow guard had not told her about the Xia family's plans, she wouldn't have known about the Xia family's sche. She would have been deceived by Xia Cheng. She would have thought that they had really turned over a new leaf and were prepared to return to Shengdu to live well.
The Xia family was planning on giving her a share of their assets? Even a fool would not believe it!
Qiao Xi replied slowly, "Director Xia, just tell what it is."
"Xi Xi, I'm sincere. It's our fault that the Xia family has co to this point. Now that things have co to this, are you not even willing to co to the Xia family? You'll just be coming for a reunion dinner and to share the assets. If you don't want to co alone, you can bring a few friends over. Maybe you won't be able to see them anymore in the future."
It was indeed impossible to see them again because as long as Qiao Xi stepped foot into the Xia family, she would be forcefully taken away by the Brook family.
With the Brook family's power, it was aningless no matter who Qiao Xi brought along. Even if Gu Zheng was present, he would be unable to stop all of this.
Gu Zheng would not dare to offend such a powerful family like Brook. Moreover, it was Qiao Xi's blessing to be able to marry into their family. What was there to refuse?
Qiao Xi's voice was calm. "Since it's like that, I'll see you in the afternoon."
At this mont in the Xia family's villa, Madam Tan looked at Xia Cheng as he hung up the phone. She asked arrogantly, "Qiao Xi agreed?"
The Xia family had different gazes, but they were all filled with a trace of greed. Xia ngyan clenched her fists tightly, her pale face filled with excitent.
She had investigated Young Master Tan before. She heard that when he was young, he fell sick and hurt his brain. Although he did not beco a complete fool, his behavior was definitely different from ordinary people. Other than being rich, he was riddled with flaws. It was fine that he was ugly, but he also had a violent character. She heard that he had killed won before he beca an adult. After he beca an adult, he married a few wives but they all died in less than half a year. They died in a miserable manner too. In the end, their corpses were rashly cremated, and their relatives did not even have the chance to see them.
What kind of life would Qiao Xi have after marrying such a man?
As long as Qiao Xi married into the Brook family, the Xia family would be able to obtain two billion yuan. In the past, she was unable to defeat Qiao Xi, but so long as she succeeded this ti, Qiao Xi would forever disappear from her sight and never have the chance to stop her again.
Qiao Xi could only bla herself. Who asked her to be so ostentatious and be targeted by the Brook family…
Xia Cheng's old face was filled with pride and greed. "Madam Tan, Qiao Xi has already agreed. She'll definitely co."
