1317 Fake Banquet
âWell done.â Madam Tan took out a check from her bag and placed it on the table. âThis is my personal reward to the Xia family. Take it.â
Xia Cheng picked it up and saw that it was a check for 100 million. This sum of money was definitely nothing to the Brook family, but to the Xia family, who was already in a precarious situation, it could save their lives! With this sum of money, they would have a chance to come back. Sooner or later, they would let those who mocked them know the Xia familyâs true strength.
As for Qiao Xi, she could only pray for the best once she went to Y Nation.
What happened in New City Mall was indeed Xia Mengyanâs scheme and a result of Xia Mengyanâs own selfish desires, but Qiao Xi did not consider the Xia familyâs interests at all. She even joined forces with the Luo family to make the Xia family look bad. She exposed Xia Yunlouâs identity in public and forced her to change her name to Xia Lan.
The Xia family had already fallen into such a state. Xia Cheng only wanted Qiao Xi to get married. What was wrong with that? All these problems started because of Qiao Xi, so she should compensate the Xia family.
âThank you, Madam Tan. Donât worry, Xi Xi will be your daughter-in-law from now on.â Xia Cheng smiled extremely obsequiously, his old face filled with wrinkles.
Madam Tan smiled in satisfaction. âYour Xia family is quite capable. My son is different from ordinary people, so Iâve never refused anything he wants since he was young. Now that he has taken a liking to a woman, I have to satisfy her. I hope you can understand a motherâs heart.â
âOf course, I understand.â Xia Cheng hurriedly nodded and subconsciously looked at Young Master Tan, who was at the side. He smiled obsequiously. âYoung Master Tan has a noble status. Young Master Tan is out of Xi Xiâs league. How could she refuse?â
âWell said! With my sonâs identity, itâs absolutely more than enough to marry her. I hope this marriage wonât go wrong,â Madam Tan said as she looked affectionately at Young Master Tan beside her. âLilâ Yu, Miss Qiao will be able to marry you soon. Although Qiao Xiâs identity isnât noble enough, sheâs very beautiful. You must be gentle with her this time and not kill her. Itâs best if she gives birth to a child for you as soon as possible.â

In the afternoon.
Gu Yao asked nervously, âNo way. Are you really going to the Xia family? You know that those bastards have ill intentions, yet you still want to go over? Are you crazy?â
Qiao Xi had an indifferent expression. âXia Cheng said that I can bring the others over.â
âWho are you bringing over?! Thatâs clearly a fake banquet! You might not be able to come back if you go. If anything happens to you, how will Gu Zheng survive?!â
As Gu Yao spoke, he was suddenly stunned for a moment and looked at Qiao Xi in surprise. âRight, Gu Zheng should know about the Xia family too, right? But he probably doesnât know that you agreed to go to the Xia family. If he finds out, he definitely wonât agree to let you go.â
The corners of Qiao Xiâs mouth twitched slightly. âThis kidâs guess is quite accurate.â
She smiled and waved her hand. âOh, it doesnât matter.
âIâm indeed going to bring someone with me this time. This person is a professional reporter from a TV station. Iâm doing this to protect myself!â
Only then did Gu Yao react. âWhat? Youâre just bringing a reporter over?â
Qiao Xi stroked her hair weakly and said with a smile, âYes! Moreover, it was Chairman Xia who said it himself. I can bring anyone I want. Iâm only bringing one friend over. Is there a problem?â
This reporter was Eldest Brotherâs friend from a TV station. To be able to enter Li City TV Station to be a reporter, he must be very professional. He should be able to record the situation at the scene and broadcast it.
Qiao Xi wanted everyone to see Madam Tan snatching a commoner to be her daughter-in-law on the spot. The Xia family would definitely cause a commotion for the sake of money. Since they dared to do this, they had to bear the consequences.
Qiao Xi smiled meaningfully. It was uncertain who would marry Young Master Tan in the end!
A moment later, a gentle-looking man in bodyguard clothes walked in. âMiss Qiao.â
Qiao Xi raised her eyes and sized up the man in front of her. The person her brother chose would be fine. She smiled. âReporter Fang.â
Reporter Fang had already hidden the pinhole camera on his body. âMr. Shen said that he wants me to follow you to the Xia family as a bodyguard to avoid unnecessary trouble. Anyway, Iâm a reporter and have disguised myself as someone with other professions in the past. Iâm already used to it. I believe Iâll definitely be able to cooperate with you to complete the mission.â
