1268 The Difference Between The Two Ladies
Xia Mengyan shifted her eyes and walked forward. She advised softly, “Grandpa, you must take care of your health. This matter can still be resolved.”
Xia Cheng looked up at her with a trace of hope in his eyes.
Qiao Xi crossed her arms and watched this scene in amusement. Xia Mengyan had finally made a move.
Xia Mengyan pretended to be helpless as she looked at Qiao Xi, then she turned to Xia Cheng and said, “Grandpa, I accidentally got to know Mr. Luo Chenjiu from the Luo family. He’s the ninth apprentice of the Luo family’s head. At that time, he even gave me a porcelain sculpture that was personally carved by the Luo family’s head.
“Now that Xi Xi has sold Young Master Luo’s porcelain sculpture, Young Master Luo will definitely be angry when he finds out. However, if we bring out the sculpture the Luo family’s head made for us at the opening ceremony and apologize to Young Master Luo later, we can show him we still respect the Luo family. It’s just that Xi Xi was muddle-headed. Perhaps Young Master Luo can forgive us on the account of the family head.”
Xia Mengyan said generously. Xia Cheng was stunned. After a few seconds, his eyes instantly became happy. He asked in disbelief, “Mengyan, really? You have the porcelain sculpture that the head of the Luo family made?”
At this moment, Xia Mengyan’s words had already been transmitted through the microphone. Everyone present had roughly heard it. It turned out that Miss Xia had the Luo family’s porcelain sculpture!
It was said that the head of the Luo family had already isolated himself in the mountains ten years ago and stopped making porcelain sculptures. Now, the mysterious head of the Luo family was actually making sculptures again?
The owner of Xuan Island and Luo Qing’s father, actually asked his disciple, Luo Chenjiu, to give Xia Mengyan a porcelain sculpture that he had personally carved?
Xia Cheng was so excited that his entire body trembled. “Mengyan! Quick, quickly take out the porcelain sculpture. Why didn’t you take it out earlier? Why should we waste time on Qiao Xi?!”
Xia Mengyan felt a little aggrieved and said with a guilty expression, “Grandpa, it’s my fault. Xi Xi is the person in charge, so I didn’t want to overstep. I thought she had Young Master Luo’s porcelain sculpture in her hands. Moreover, she should be the one showing it today. If I rashly took out the Luo family’s porcelain sculpture, I’d be stealing her limelight. I was afraid that Xi Xi would misunderstand, so I didn’t take it out.
“I thought that Xi Xi would be able to show off the porcelain sculpture and show her face in front of everyone. I wanted to give the sculpture to you after the opening ceremony, but I didn’t expect such a thing to happen. Sigh…”
Xia Mengyan’s voice was filled with helplessness and apology. Her tone was also gentle, making one’s heart ache.
In everyone’s opinion, Qiao Xi had obtained Young Master Luo’s porcelain sculpture, but for the sake of satisfying her selfishness, she sold the real porcelain sculpture and changed it to a fake to display in front of everyone. Although Xia Mengyan also had the Luo family’s porcelain sculpture, she did not reveal anything and did not want to steal her sister’s limelight. Now that an accident had happened, she had no choice but to take it out in public.
The difference between them was like heaven and earth.
A smile gradually spread on Xia Cheng’s gloomy face. He thought that he would lose all his dignity at the opening ceremony today, but Mengyan actually gave him such a big surprise.
He asked anxiously, “Where’s the porcelain sculpture? Quickly take it out!”
Xia Mengyan smiled lightly. “Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ve already sent people to guard the porcelain sculpture. It’s in the lounge. I’ll get them to take it out now.”
“Mengyan, you really didn’t disappoint me! As expected of the daughter of my Xia family!” Xia Cheng smiled heartily, then glanced coldly at Qiao Xi, his eyes filled with disgust.
It was at this moment that Xia Cheng happened to see the porcelain sculpture on the table. Thinking that he had lost his reputation in front of everyone today because of this fake, his expression instantly darkened. He ordered loudly, “Someone! Throw that fake out. Such a dirty thing is not worthy to appear in my Xia family’s territory!”
This sentence not only referred to the porcelain sculpture but also to Qiao Xi. If it were not for the fact that all the guests were present, he would have sent someone to chase Qiao Xi out a long time ago.
Qiao Xi’s fair fingers landed on the purple porcelain sculpture, and she raised her eyes to look coldly at Xia Cheng. “Are you really going to throw it away? Don’t regret it afterward.”
“Why? Are you still unconvinced?” Xia Cheng frowned, then shouted, “Quickly throw this fake out. I don’t want to see it again.”
Such a fake could not appear in front of Young Master Luo. He had to get rid of it.
The bodyguard received the order and went forward to snatch the porcelain sculpture from Qiao Xi’s hand. He glanced at Qiao Xi, who nodded slightly. The bodyguard then left with the porcelain sculpture.
Earlier, Xia Cheng was roaring loudly until he was lacking oxygen. Now, he had calmed down and said gently, “Mengyan, don’t let everyone wait for too long. Quickly take out your porcelain sculpture.”
