1238 It’s Still Uncertain Who’ll Regret It!

Qiao Xi lazily raised her eyes. “Old Master Xia, why should I apologize?”

Her words were like a rock smashing into a calm lake. The entire venue was in an uproar. They did not expect her to be so arrogant.

Xia Cheng’s eyes suddenly turned cold. “Qiao Xi, what do you mean?”

“Old Master Xia, your ears aren’t good, so I’ll say it again. I won’t apologize!” Qiao Xi’s voice was calm, but it was filled with a powerful aura. She wasn’t defeated in the slightest in front of Xia Cheng.

The surroundings were silent. Xia Cheng gritted his teeth and said, “Qiao Xi! Think carefully. As long as you apologize to Xia Ji today, we can let bygones be bygones and pretend that nothing happened.”

Qiao Xi’s expression was calm, and there were no other emotions in her eyes. She raised her head and smiled arrogantly, but her tone was still firm. “I said I won’t apologize!”

“Qiao Xi!!!” Xia Cheng was instantly infuriated. She was just a junior, yet she went against his orders time and time again in front of everyone, causing him to lose all his dignity in front of outsiders!

She shouldn’t think that just because she was married to Gu Zheng that the Xia family wouldn’t dare to attack her. This matter was caused by Qiao Xi’s rashness. Even if Gu Zheng came, he wouldn’t be able to protect the weak Qiao Xi in front of everyone.

Xia Cheng suppressed his anger and said, “Xi Xi, the Luo family will be here soon. The two families want to discuss a collaboration. I don’t want to see anyone cause trouble here. Even if you’re from the Xia family, you can’t fool around like this. If you insist on not apologizing, then don’t blame me for disregarding our kinship and chasing you out!”

Everyone gasped. Miss Qiao was Xia Yunlou’s daughter who had led a wandering life for many years. Now that the old master said such things, it meant that Miss Qiao was not favored by the Xia family.

Qiao Xi’s eyes narrowed slightly as she said casually, “Old Master Xia, no matter what you say, I still believe that the designs belong to my mother. Since you don’t welcome me, I’ll leave.”

Xia Cheng was instantly proud. It seemed that she was afraid, so…

However, he had only been happy for a few seconds when Qiao Xi coldly said, “But if I leave now, I won’t come back to the Xia family ever again. Even if Xia Ji and you personally come to beg me to come back, I won’t be willing.”

As soon as she finished speaking, Qiao Xi left without turning her head.

Xia Cheng stood on the spot and was stunned for a long time before he reacted. Qiao Xi still dared to say such harsh words? This wild girl actually dared to threaten him? He was the head of the Xia family and Qiao Xi’s grandfather. What right did she have to threaten him?

He was already unable to suppress the flames of rage in his heart and roared furiously at Qiao Xi’s back. “Alright! Even if you’re unwilling to come back, we won’t look for you! Qiao Xi! Let me tell you, don’t regret it if you leave!”

Qiao Xi stopped in her tracks and turned slightly to reveal a stunning smile. “It’s still uncertain who’ll regret it!”

Everyone looked at the tense situation between the two parties and could not help but widen their eyes. However, they did not expect such a stubborn person as Miss Qiao to be scared away in the end.

Someone could not help but sigh. “Miss Qiao is too rash. It wasn’t easy for her to reunite with the Xia family. Now that things have come to this, she won’t get anything good out of it.”

“Although the Xia family has been struggling all these years, they’re still a noble family. Moreover, the Xia family is about to collaborate with the Luo family. Their power and status will increase in the future. There’s no benefit in offending them. Moreover, if Miss Qiao leaves just like that, she won’t have a share in the Xia family’s assets in the future.”

“She’s still too young! The person who plagiarized the designs was clearly Xia Yunqiu, but Miss Qiao insists on believing her mother. She lost a lot this time…”

“She’s so disrespectful to her elders. No wonder Chairman Xia is angry. If it were me, I wouldn’t want such a stubborn granddaughter who causes trouble either.”

“When Miss Qiao left, she even said that she would never step into the Xia family again. Even if Chairman Xia and President Xia begged her, she wouldn’t come back. Actually, in the eyes of the Xia family, she’s nothing at all. After all, she has been wandering outside for many years and has no feelings for the Xia family. Moreover, the Xia family already has Xia Mengyan. To the Xia family, Qiao Xi is just a stranger who’s related to them by blood.”

Hearing everyone’s discussions, Xia Mengyan pursed her lips proudly. The resentment in her heart finally dissipated.

However, Xia Mengyan still could not believe that Qiao Xi would leave just like that. She left without turning the Xia family upside down first?

According to Qiao Xi’s usual character, she wouldn’t be able to wait to blow things up and make the Xia family lose all their dignity. It was really not her character to return in defeat like this!
