Qiao Xi said casually, “So you’re sure that I’ll be at your mercy? Do you think I can’t do anything to you?”

Xia Cheng smiled proudly and lowered his voice. “Xi Xi, on the account that we’re related by blood, let me give you a piece of advice. You don’t have any substantial evidence, so it’s useless to explain. Now that everyone has already suspected you of snatching the marriage, the internet is filled with criticisms. I advise you to cooperate with us obediently. Otherwise, your outcome will definitely be very miserable.”

Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. “Oh.”

Xia Cheng’s tone was very arrogant. “Everyone now knows that you stole Mengyan’s marriage contract. You’ll never be able to raise your head again. Even if President Gu has power and influence, he won’t be able to stop the public from talking. How can you endure all these curses? Listen to my advice. Give up your position as Mrs. Gu as soon as possible. Mengyan and President Gu have known each other since they were young. If you hadn’t interfered, the two of them would’ve gotten together a long time ago. As long as you agree to the divorce, I’ll definitely introduce you to a more suitable man. The Xia family won’t treat you badly.”

Qiao Xi sneered. “Old Master Xia, you really have a good plan.”

Looking at Qiao Xi’s indifferent appearance, Xia Cheng felt a trace of uneasiness in his heart. Things were already like this, so why was Qiao Xi not nervous at all? Today, all the reporters from Li City were gathered here, and there were even fake commenters hired by the Xia family in the live-streams. Even with Gu Zheng’s help, Qiao Xi would not be able to make a comeback. Moreover, Gu Zheng himself would be criticized. At that time, he would definitely hate Qiao Xi.

Xia Cheng heaved a sigh of relief. Not far away, Xia Mengyan greeted Qiao Xi with a gentle smile. “Cousin.”

Qiao Xi raised her eyes and glanced coldly. The bodyguards at the side immediately went forward and said, “Miss Xia, the spot you’re in are the president and young madam’s seats. Please leave.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the surroundings fell silent.

Xia Mengyan’s face darkened, and her eyes instantly turned red. Her voice was trembling as she said, “Cousin, I know that there have been too many comments attacking you on the internet recently, but I don’t want that to happen either. Grandpa and I are here today to persuade everyone to forgive you. Can you not have such bad intentions toward me?”

Qiao Xi crossed her arms and looked at her with interest. It had only been a short while since they last met, but Xia Mengyan’s status had improved! It seemed that she had the guidance of an expert behind her. Could it be that the old two-faced b*tch from the Xia family had given her guidance?

Seeing that the two of them were at daggers drawn, the reporters hurriedly rushed in front of Qiao Xi and raised the microphones to ask, “Mrs. Gu, do you have anything to say about Old Master Xia and Miss Xia’s words?”

“You haven’t stepped forward to retort because you’ve already tacitly agreed to this matter, right? Did you really snatch your engagement with President Gu?”

The moment that was said, everyone revealed disdainful gazes. The words that were originally filled with suspicion gradually turned into accusations. “Look at her fearless appearance. She doesn’t have the slightest intention of repenting!”

“No wonder Old Master Xia doesn’t like his granddaughter. How can anyone like her after what she’s done?”

Xia Mengyan lowered her eyes as sparkling tears fell. She pretended to speak up for Qiao Xi. “Everyone, don’t criticize Xi Xi. Xi Xi is very good to me. She just did something wrong. Now that she’s already married to President Gu, let’s let everything go.”

When the reporters heard this, they immediately praised, “Miss Xia, you’re really beautiful and kind-hearted. You’ve clearly been wronged, yet you’re still speaking up for Mrs. Gu. On the other hand, Mrs. Gu did something wrong, but she did not apologize and is also so arrogant. Speaking of which, not only did she snatch away the engagement, but she also stole Qingfeng Entertainment, which originally belonged to Miss Xia!”

At the mention of Qingfeng Entertainment, Xia Cheng’s eyes instantly lit up. He seized the opportunity and hurriedly said, “Ever since Qingfeng Entertainment was established, there has been no clear rule regarding who the heir is. Originally, it was only handed to my daughter to manage. Later on, I once thought of handing the company to Mengyan, but my daughter loved Xi Xi, so she gave the company to Xi Xi behind my back.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the reporters all aimed their cameras at Qiao Xi. She smiled calmly. “Old Master Xia, are you saying that Qingfeng Entertainment is the Xia family’s business? You decided to give the company to Xia Mengyan, but I’m occupying it now?”

The banquet hall was silent for a moment. Xia Cheng’s heart could not help but tremble. Why was Qiao Xi still so calm at a time like this? It made him feel that something was wrong!

Before Xia Cheng could figure it out, Old Madam Xia rushed over with an angry expression. “Mengyan, you’re indulging her too much. If you hadn’t tolerated her so much, how would she have dared to snatch your engagement?”
