Chapter 15: Throwing the blame at Xia Yi...
Looking at Xia Yiqing's calm expression and extraordinary demeanor, Xia Jie felt extremely annoyed.
No, Xia Jie clenched her fists. Third Master Qi was so good, Xia Yiqing was not worthy of him at all. Third Master should be hers!
If Qin Fei were here at this moment, she would probably burst out laughing. She thought that the Third Master was hers, but she wished for it. The Third Master had packed himself up and taken Xia Yiqing away early.
But it’s no wonder that the Third Master had already fallen deeply in love with Xia Yiqing when he was not yet the Third Master.
"Wait," Xia Jie lifted her hair, and the big chestnut waves fell on the water green cheongsam, which looked out of place. However, the person involved was enjoying it, and pulled the corners of her mouth, showing a smile that she thought was very charming.
"Sister, I was just anxious. I haven't met my brother-in-law since I came back this time. I wonder when you can take me to meet him?"
Seeing Xia Jie like this, the sisters behind her shrank back and hid behind, pretending that they had not talked about Xia Yiqing just now.
"Bah," Su Huanhuan glared with her eyes, eyebrows raised, indignant, almost turning into a fire-breathing dragon.
"When the Qingqing family fell, the Xia Group was in jeopardy, and you absconded with the money. How come now that the Xia Group is thriving, all these cousins are running away?"
Some of the young ladies next to Xia Jie didn't know the inside story. Seeing Su Huanhuan's angry face, they were a little unsettled.
Some people started to argue with Su Huanhuan, but they were no match for Su Huanhuan. Su Huanhuan had debated with many scholars before to clear Xia Yiqing's name. Although she was fighting alone at this moment, she still had the upper hand with her quick thinking and eloquence.
Seeing Su Huanhuan repelling the little sisters one after another, Xia Jie turned her head away, a hint of resentment flashing in her eyes.
She raised her eyes again, and her concern returned, "Sister, you weren't like this before. You were the most sensible before. Could it be that you have been led astray by this fierce woman?
"If I follow her example and love to show off my quick wit, how can I convince others and be a good heir to the Xia family?"
Su Huanhuan's jaw almost dropped in shock. She didn't expect her to be so provocative. She felt like her head was exploding, and she almost pointed at Xia Jie's nose and cursed her.
"You have such a vicious heart that you actually want to sow discord between us," Su Huanhuan looked at Xia Yiqing and bumped her with her shoulder, "Qingqing, you won't believe this, right?"
Xia Yiqing's lips curled up into a smile, "Of course."
"You bitch!" Xia Jie put her hands on her hips. If looks could kill, Su Huanhuan would have died thousands of times.
Seeing Xia Jie take a step forward and about to reach out her hand, Xia Yiqing raised her hand to separate her and Su Huanhuan, her tone cold.
"If you want to talk, talk nicely and don't use your hands. I heard that you claimed to be my cousin, so you should know that the Xia Group is not as good as you think. It has begun to decline and is short of funds.
"Since you're a member of the Xia Group, you should also contribute. After all, your brother already has a position there, and you're probably going to do the same thing. So please take responsibility, bring the money, and patch up the holes. After all, you guys embezzled a lot of money back then. I didn't want to settle accounts with you, but you guys bumped into me."
Su Huanhuan's pupils shrank slightly.
She knew that Xia Yiqing was very sad three years ago, but she didn't expect that it was closely related to Xia Jie in front of her.
As if there was a fire burning, Su Huanhuan strode forward, raised her hand and grabbed Xia Jie's collar, "You bad thing, do you know how sad Qingqing was during that time? She sold everything she had and gave herself to the Third Master, and only then did the hole in Xia's family be filled.
"You guys are so good, now that the storm has calmed down, you come to get a piece of the pie, how can such a good thing happen!"
Xia Jie showed reluctance on her face and grabbed Su Huanhuan's wrist with both hands.
As the two wrestled, Xia Jie's expression changed several times under the spotlight. "What does this have to do with me? I've never been to this group. The group is losing money, so why should I be the one to fill the gap? Xia Yiqing, you're really too much. You didn't give us the benefits when you had them, and now that the group is in trouble, you want us to take the blame!"
The people around Xia Jie had never seen Xia Jie so aggressive, and they were all stunned.
Xia Jie used to be famous as a gentle and educated young woman, but now she acts like a shrew.
"You haven't been to this group? Uncle transferred the shares to you not long ago. Besides, who said you have no idea about this group now?" Xia Yiqing shrugged, her eyes restrained the little sisters beside Xia Jie, frowned, winked at Su Huanhuan, and then looked at Xia Jie with a contemptuous smile on her face and calm eyes.
"If you didn't have any ideas, why did you come back, and why did you get involved with me? I just wanted to test whether Qi Hanmu would take action to save the Xia Group."
Su Huanhuan also realized that her behavior was a bit extreme. She let go of her hand, snorted, and stood silently back beside Xia Yiqing.
"you……"
Xia Jie's sisters were glared at several times by Xia Jie, so they had no choice but to step forward to join in the discussion, saying that Xia Yiqing was going too far.
"Oh? I was telling the truth. I don't know where I went too far. Or maybe your scores are too low, so it's so easy to go too far."
"You," a woman with an overly high nose bridge and a face that looked like it was artificially carved by a knife and an axe stood up with her hands on her hips.
"You're being too much when you say that about Jiejie. What about the Four Famous Ladies of Jiangcheng? Do you deserve this title? Oh, is it because Third Master is tired of you?
"But I think so too. How could the Third Master be interested in a woman who still wanders around in the dim lights after marriage? She must have used some shameful means to marry him. Shameless!"
Xia Yiqing didn't panic as expected. She just raised her eyebrows and said, "Oh, you said I'm not chaste. Where's the evidence? Just because you glanced at me in the dim light?"
"So, you're the one who's going the extra mile. You're not even married yet, but you're already hanging around in this kind of place. It's obvious that you're not a good person either."
The woman's cheeks flushed red as she practically yelled, "I have a fiancé, unlike you!"
"Fiancé? The fat, big-eared one who's famous for hanging around with other women."
The man's face turned red. Seeing that he couldn't win the argument with Xia Yiqing, he gritted his teeth angrily, nudged the person next to him, and winked at him several times.
A girl with dyed yellow hair stood up and said, like a relay race, that no one knew why Xia Yiqing was so proud. The company was almost ruined. If they begged her now, maybe she would show mercy and let her father and brother buy out Xia's company.
Xia Yiqing tilted her head, put her fingertips on her chin, and poked it lightly, seemingly nonchalantly, "Really? Your company,
"I guess the economy isn't that good right now, and you're still trying to act like a big shot, are you trying to act like a big shot?"
The blond woman might have felt hurt and jumped up and down, shouting, "That's not true!"
Xia Yiqing raised her lips, raised her hand to lift her black hair, and retorted, "What's the situation of your company? Do you still need to hide it?
"You've been targeted and investigated a lot recently, so you're frantically looking for help. Unfortunately, you've made the wrong choice by looking for Xia Jie."
"What she said is true. Can't you help us?" The yellow-haired woman looked in Xia Jie's direction.
Seeing Xia Jie hesitating and unable to explain clearly, the yellow-haired woman and Xia Jie's friends' eyes changed slightly.
They are not saints. They are just playing with the Xia family because Xia Jie is stupid and rich.
However, it seems that the Xia Group is in trouble now. Since Xia Jie was able to run away with the money many years ago, it seems that she is not very sincere towards them.
A few people looked at each other and understood each other's intentions. Xia Jie was like this to her relatives, so how could she be any better to them? These clothes, shoes and bags she bought might be taken back one day, and she still pointed at their noses and asked them to pay compensation.
If it really turns out like that, it would be too ugly.
Immediately, several girls who had just met Xia Jie and were forced by their families to come here stuffed bags into Xia Jie's hands and said politely,
"Ms. Xia, thank you for paying the bill today, but these are not that important to me, so please take them back."
People are very easy to follow the crowd. If one person makes a move, others will also move forward.
"Jiejie, I suddenly feel that I don't particularly like this bag." A limited edition bag was thrown into Xia Jie's hands like throwing away garbage.
A beautiful brand name dress also flew into Xia Jie's hands, and it felt like it was burning. "Jiejie, I don't think this dress is suitable for me. You should wear it."
As the items were placed in her hands one by one, Xia Jie's voice became deeper and deeper, and the look she gave Xia Yiqing became more and more resentful.
"Xia Yiqing, you did it on purpose!"
"Yeah," Xia Yiqing shrugged her shoulders. Her fair face had round almond eyes, and she looked as innocent as she could be.
"But, it's not my fault that your friends are like this. I was just speaking the truth. I never thought they would dislike you, 'Sister'."
Su Huanhuan held her stomach and vividly demonstrated what it meant to laugh out loud. "You deserve it. Who told you to scheme?"
But at this moment, a man came over.
He is of medium build, and the thing that strikes you most at first glance is the flesh on his face. It is no exaggeration to say that it is full of wrinkles and ridges, almost like some kind of landform.
The man had a lustful look in his eyes. Xia Yiqing only took a quick glance at him and then looked away.
A figure who was always cold but overly gentle to her appeared before her.
Although, he sometimes goes too far, like last night...
Xia Yiqing's innocent little face suddenly turned red. Why did she think about that kind of thing for no reason?
However, it must be said that even though Qi Hanmu was in poor health, he was not inhumane. In fact, he was quite good.
Well, thinking of this, Xia Yiqing's legs trembled a little.
The greasy man's smoky voice came over, "Xiao Jie, what happened?"
Xia Yiqing's vision slowly focused, and she saw the man smiling shrewdly, his arm around Xia Jie's shoulders, his eyes sweeping over her intentionally or unintentionally.
At this moment, someone recognized the man's identity and exclaimed in a low voice.
"Isn't this the young master Wang who has been so popular recently?"
Immediately, several women came back to Xia Jie, offering her bags and saying nice things to her with a smug look on their faces.
Young Master Wang's identity is not simple. If he takes good care of Xia Jie, the person under Young Master Wang's protection, he will definitely receive benefits.
As expected, as soon as Xia Jie opened her mouth, she started to confuse right and wrong, saying that she just wanted to contribute to the family company. However, Xia Yiqing started to shift the blame, saying that the company was failing and she had to pay compensation.
Upon hearing this, Young Master Wang frowned and looked at Xia Yiqing with contempt.
But Xia Yiqing didn't take it as an offense and looked back at him coldly.
