A while ago, the news of the real and fake daughter had spread throughout the city. Everyone had heard about it. If Mrs. Gu was really Xia Yunlouâs daughter, then Xia Mengyan and Mrs. Gu could be considered cousins.
Everyone subconsciously looked at Xia Mengyan, and Qiao Xi also noticed the young woman in the crowd.
Xia Mengyan smiled and went forward to greet her. âXi Xi, long time no see.â
Qiao Xi raised her eyes to glance at the woman in front of her. She did not expect to meet Sally so soon. She really did not want to see this woman!
Previously, when she was overseas, she did not get along with Sally. Now that they had met in the country, she heard that Sallyâs surname was Xia. What was her relationship with Xia Yunlou?
Xia Mengyan smiled and said, âYou donât know yet, right? Iâm the daughter of the Xia family. Xia Yunlou is my aunt, so Iâm your cousin.â
Qiao Xi nodded, her expression unchanged.
Xia Mengyan smiled gently. âXi Xi, I thought that we could get along well from before. I didnât expect you to be my cousin. Are you also here for the perfume exchange today? Are you also a perfumer?â
The entire venue was silent as their gazes shifted between the two of them.
Apart from perfumers, there were also representatives from various companies who came to participate in the perfume exchange. However, Qiao Xi did not have a position in Gu Corporation. She did not have the qualifications to represent Gu Corporation, so who was she?
Xia Mengyan caught hold of Qiao Xiâs weakness and deliberately exposed her scars in public. âXi Xi, ever since Aunt got a divorce, sheâs been crying all day. Sheâs about to go blind from crying. I donât know what happened between the two of you, but sheâs your mother, after all. What hatred can there be between mother and child? I hope you can make a trip back to the Xia family with me to see Auntââ
âMiss Xia, you already said that you donât know what happened. What right do you have to say these words in front of Xi Xi?â Gu Zheng interrupted Xia Mengyan. His voice was indifferent, but it made one feel a chill.
Xia Mengyanâs body trembled, and her face turned pale.
......
On the other hand, Lu Yanâs assistant brought the young masters of the Lu family in. When he saw Xia Mengyanâs aggrieved expression, he was instantly unhappy. Moreover, the Lu family and Gu Zheng were not on good terms to begin with. At this moment, he said arrogantly, âMrs. Gu, this is the perfume exchange conference. Unrelated people canât participate. Are you going to leave now, or should we get someone to send you out?â
Gu Zhengâs entire body emitted killing intent, but Qiao Xi asked with a smile, âAre you chasing me away?â
âIf youâre sensible, youâd better leave yourself. Itâll be embarrassing if youâre chased out. Weâre not targeting you. This is the rule of the perfume exchange.â The Lu family was proud.
Qiao Xi walked to the sofa in the resting area and sat down. She lazily leaned to the side and asked gently, âThen why is Miss Xia here?â
When the Lu family heard this, they immediately laughed.
Xia Mengyan hurriedly explained, âXi Xi, have you forgotten? Iâm the internationally renowned perfumer, Sally. Iâm also the chief perfumer invited by the Lu family.â
With that, Xia Mengyan looked at Gu Zheng and said gently, âPresident Gu, long time no see. I didnât expect your wife to be Xi Xi. We can be considered to be related to each other now.â
Everyone present knew that Xia Mengyan was the chief perfumer invited by the Lu family. However, Mrs. Gu even asked such a stupid question in public. She was really embarrassing President Gu!
Qiao Xiâs eyes were clear as she said slowly, âSo, youâre participating in the exchange while representing the Lu family?â
Xia Mengyan was just about to nod when Qiao Xi chuckled. âThen why canât I participate while representing Gu Corporation?â
If it were any other time, it would be understandable for Mrs. Gu to attend banquets while representing Gu Corporation. However, the requirements for the perfume exchange meeting were strict. Only the higher-ups of the company were qualified to attend. However, Mrs. Gu clearly did not meet these two requirements.
Gu Zheng stood beside Qiao Xi with a calm expression.
Song Shijing explained loudly, âMiss Xia isnât the only one in this world who can participate in the production of perfumes. Our young madam is the designer of Gu Corporationâs new perfume packaging. Of course, she has the right to attend the perfume exchange.â
The entire venue was in an uproar. Obviously, everyone did not believe that Qiao Xi could design packaging.
Xia Mengyan lowered her eyes aggrievedly. âIâm sorry, Iâve offended you. I just didnât expect Gu Corporation to let Mrs. Gu handle their packaging design.â
âMiss Xia, you knew Young Madam before this, so you should know her identity. How could you ask such a silly question?â
Song Shijing looked disdainful. âOur young madam is the internationally renowned designer Gu Shan. Donât you know that, Miss Xia?â
