1184 Youâre Fired If You Disobey
Qiao Xi raised her eyes coldly and glanced at the butler. âYouâre really stupid. You actually havenât figured out who your real master is!ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The butler was stunned and looked at Xia Mengyan in confusion.
When Qiao Xi saw this, she took out her phone and sent a message to the butler. The butlerâs phone instantly rang. He looked at his phone and was shocked. âY-Youâre the owner of the Xia familyâs residence?â
He ran to Qiao Xi and apologized crazily. Then, he glared angrily at the two of them. âWho are you?! How dare you pretend to be Miss Qiao?!â
Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan had embarrassed expressions on their faces. After all, Xia Yunlou was the daughter of the Xia family. Now that she was being treated as a thief, she naturally felt terrible. She could only roar helplessly, âQiao Xi! This is indeed your property, but Iâm your biological mother! Whatâs yours is mine. Moreover, these things are all piled up in the storage room. You definitely donât want them anymore, so we just want to take them away. Hurry up and explain to the butler. Donât treat us as thieves!â
The butler was stunned. This woman was actually Miss Qiaoâs mother? But the two of them did not look like mother and daughter at all!
Qiao Xi lazily leaned against the door, her eyes filled with coldness. âButler, send the guests out!â
The butler was put in a difficult position. âMiss Qiao, uhâ¦â
âWhat? You wonât listen to me?â Qiao Xiâs lips twitched as her entire body emitted a cold aura.
Qiao Xiâs words seemed to have slapped Xia Yunlou twice. She felt her cheeks burn as she roared indignantly, âQiao Xi! What are you doing? Mengyan and I are just here to take a look. Itâs fine if you donât welcome us, but you actually want to chase us away. How can there be a daughter like you?â
Xia Yunlou shouted with a flushed face. She was so angry that she lacked oxygen and felt dizzy.
The butler stood in the middle, hesitating.
At this moment, Gu Zheng appeared behind Qiao Xi. He glanced indifferently at the butler and chuckled. âXi Xi, this butler is taking your money but doesnât listen to you!â
Qiao Xi said coldly, âIf you wonât listen, youâll be fired.â
The butlerâs expression changed. This was a good job that was hard to find. He lived alone in a luxurious villa and did not have to serve a host. He only had to clean the place occasionally. The salary was very high, and he had a lot of freedom.
Miss Qiao wanted to fire him, but he could not lose this job. He hurriedly walked up to Xia Yunlou and Xia Mengyan and said loudly, âLadies, since this isnât your property, please leave immediately!â
The anger in Xia Yunlouâs heart surged. âQiao Xi! Iâm your biological mother! You actually want to chase me away? Look at the plaque outside. This place is called the Xia familyâs residence. Mengyan and I both have the surname Xia. Itâs only right for us to come here!â
This place was called the Xia familyâs residence, but it was not Xia Yunlouâs. It was called the Xia familyâs residence in memory of Qiao Xiâs deceased mother, Xia Yunqiu.
Qiao Xi nodded thoughtfully. âMadam Xia, since you think the name isnât suitable, then letâs change it. From now on, letâs call it the Yin familyâs residence. After all, my motherâs surname should have been Yin. Remember this clearly. This place has nothing to do with the Xia family. I hope you wonât be shameless enough to come over again.â
With that, she glanced around and saw the shell wind chime on the floor. Anger surged through her. She didnât want to continue being entangled with these two.
âMadam Xia, youâre trespassing on private property. If you donât leave now, Iâll call the police. At that time, the news of the two daughters of the Xia family being caught stealing will spread throughout Li City. I donât think you want to see this outcome, right?â
The butler really did not understand. Since Madam Xia and Miss Qiao were mother and daughter, why were the two of them opposing each other?
Xia Yunlou was furious and roared, âQiao Xi!â
Xia Mengyan raised her eyes slightly and carefully glanced at the cold Gu Zheng at the door. She clenched her fists tightly.
Why did Qiao Xi get to fulfill the Xia familyâs arranged engagement? Gu Zheng was such an outstanding and handsome man. There were thousands of people who wanted to marry him, and she was naturally no exception. Everything she did was for the sake of pursuing true love. Gu Zheng would probably understand her.
Xia Mengyan said gently, âXi Xi, weâre family. Thereâs no need to quarrel over such a small matter. Actually, I just wanted to see you.â
She noticed that Qiao Xiâs gaze had been on the shell wind chime on the ground. She had taken a look just now. That wind chime was not worth much. Although it looked quite beautiful, it was not made using any rare materials. However, Qiao Xi had always been paying attention to that shell wind chime. It was as if she had come to the Xia familyâs residence for this shell wind chime.
