Chapter 33 Madam Xia's Powerful Return
The old butler completely disregarded Liu Meilan, and retorted on the spot, "Who do you think you are? You have no say in matters decided by the Qin family!"
The old steward had long been dissatisfied with the Xia family's etiquette. Now that the two sides no longer needed to arrange a marriage, he naturally didn't need to pay attention to such a small family.
Liu Meilan was intimidated by the old housekeeper's imposing manner. Her face turned ugly and aggrieved, but she dared not speak out.
The Xia family is no match for the Qin family, so she really has no right to say anything.
At this point, her buttocks began to itch and hurt.
As for his pants, they were already soaked.
In retaliation against Xia Yue, Liu Meilan placed a dirty toilet rag, still damp with sewage, under the cushion of the single sofa.
She had intended to embarrass Xia Yue, but unexpectedly, she was the one who felt bad.
Fortunately, she was wearing black pants, so it wasn't obvious.
For the sake of elegance, she must now sit back down!
Continuing to endure the filthy, smelly, and damp toilet rags made Liu Meilan so angry she felt like vomiting blood.
Xia Yue smiled and said to the old butler, "Since I am not destined to be with Young Master Qin, let's just forget about it. I don't need any compensation. After all, feelings can't be forced."
After thinking for a while, Xia Yue calmly told herself that there's no such thing as a free lunch.
If she takes the opportunity to make demands of the Qin family, she will be in a very passive position if the Qin family goes back on their word or something else happens later.
It's better to ask for nothing at all, to appear more generous.
As for the previous dowry of 100 million yuan, the Qin family was unfair this time, and they probably have no face to ask for it back.
Sure enough, after hearing Xia Yue's words, the old butler's opinion of her changed drastically.
This young lady from the Xia family is more sensible than Madam Xia.
Those previous impolite behaviors were probably taught by Madam Xia, which is a matter of family upbringing.
The Qin family is a family that highly values family education.
The old butler continued, "Miss Xia, my patriarch said that we absolutely cannot mistreat you. Since you haven't made any requests, then the Qin family owes you a favor."
If you need anything in the future, you can come to the Qin family.
Not only that, the patriarch is also willing to compensate you with 100 million yuan, hoping you will accept this as a token of his apology.
The old butler instructed the bodyguard to hand over a check for one hundred million to Xia Yue.
Xia Yue was surprised by the Qin family's generosity.
No wonder they are the number one family in Yancheng.
This 100 million is probably about the same as her casually spending 100 yuan.
Tsk!
So rich!
Xia Yue no longer declined and said generously, "In that case, thank you very much, Elder Qin. Butler, please give my regards to Elder Qin."
Although I couldn't become his granddaughter-in-law, I still wish him good health and a long and happy life.
Thank you for making this trip today.
The old housekeeper felt that Xia Yue's mouth was as sweet as if it had been coated with honey.
If the Xia family can be handed over to this young lady, there is probably still hope for them to rise again.
If we continue to let someone like Liu Meilan control things, we're probably not far from bankruptcy.
However, this is not something an outsider like him should worry about.
The old butler chatted for a few more minutes, then left with his bodyguards.
After finishing her business, Xia Yue planned to leave, and thought she would go to the basement to see if she could take the medicinal herbs left by her master.
But Liu Meilan had no intention of letting Xia Yue off easily.
"Stop! Hand over the check you have!" Liu Meilan threatened directly, her eyes turning red.
The Xia family is short of money right now, and she has to take this 100 million yuan no matter what.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to swallow this insult.
"This is compensation from the Qin family," Xia Yue replied coldly.
Liu Meilan shamelessly retorted, "You are my child, what's yours is mine, give it to me!"
Liu Meilan ran over to grab it, and in the process, she ordered the other bodyguards in the room to rush over and arrest Xia Yue.
Liu Meilan was prepared today; there were actually more than a dozen bodyguards in the room.
Although Xia Yue was quite skilled, she was no match for so many people.
She hurriedly dodged and ran away, but was still cornered against the wall.
At this moment, Liu Meilan was almost insane. She was holding a small knife in her hand and yelling at Xia Yue.
"If you don't hand it over, I'll ruin your face! Let's see how you'll seduce men then!"
Xia Yue took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.
She took out a gold needle and aimed it at Liu Meilan.
The plan is to subdue Liu Meilan first, and then deal with the other bodyguards.
Liu Meilan then raised her knife, intending to stab Xia Yue.
At this critical moment, an old but extremely authoritative voice came from the doorway, "Liu Meilan! What are you doing!"
The sound startled Liu Meilan, and she dropped the knife in her hand.
Xia Yue also looked toward the source of the sound.
There was an elderly woman with gray hair, being supported by two caregivers. Although her figure was hunched, her aura was still strong.
Especially his eyes, which were shrewd and sharp.
This person was none other than the current true controller of the Xia family—Old Madam Xia.
Liu Meilan lowered her head, not daring to look into Madam Xia's eyes, and hurriedly asked, "Madam, why are you back? Weren't you recuperating abroad?"
"If I hadn't come back, I'm afraid the Xia family would have taken your surname, Liu," Old Madam Xia retorted irritably.
Liu Meilan explained awkwardly, "How could that be? I was just disciplining Xia Yue. The Xia family has been having financial problems lately, and she's being unreasonable by refusing to contribute her money to the family."
"You also have hundreds of millions of assets in your account, why don't you contribute your own private treasury first?" Old Madam Xia asked coldly.
