Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself

1278 She Would Never Make A Comeback

To the Xia family, the pearl crown was already expensive enough. When Xia Cheng saw the token, he felt as if a pie had fallen from the sky. His mind was heavy.

Something was wrong! Why did the Luo family give Xia Yunlou such a valuable gift for no reason?

However, Mr. Luo did not give Xia Yunlou a chance to refuse at all. He smiled and said, “Madam once said that you were Madam Xia Yunqiu’s only sister, so she wouldn’t treat you badly. Even though Madam Xia Yunqiu has already passed away, you’re still an honored guest of the Luo family.”

Xia Yunlou’s hands trembled. She did not dare to accept that gift. What would happen if she accepted the Luo family’s gift in a daze? Was the Luo family’s anger something she could withstand?

Xia Cheng also felt that something was wrong, but they had no reason to reject the Luo family. Xia Corporation could not offend the Luo family anymore.

In the eyes of the others, it was the Xia family’s honor that the Luo family was willing to give Xia Yunlou a gift. She had also borrowed Xia Yunqiu’s limelight. Moreover, this gift was prepared many years ago. The Xia family did not have to bear any burden. If Xia Yunlou did not dare to accept it, it would be even more suspicious.

Xia Cheng suppressed the uneasiness in his heart. This was a big bet. He clenched his fists and looked up at Xia Yunlou.

At this moment, Xia Yunlou’s face was pale. Fear spread from the bottom of her heart and gradually spread throughout her body. She comforted herself over and over again, telling herself that she was Xia Yunlou. She had the right to accept these gifts, so why was she still nervous?

Xia Yunlou’s heart thumped violently. She inexplicably began to panic. The powerful fear was about to devour her.

“Yunlou.” Just as everyone was puzzled, Xia Cheng suddenly said, “Master Luo gave you such a valuable gift. Hurry up and thank Master Luo and Mr. Luo.”

Xia Yunlou was in a daze. Her face was pale, and the sweat on her forehead dripped down her face. She did not understand why she was so flustered, but she could not control herself.

“It’s good that you like it,” Mr. Luo said.

Without being asked for her opinion, she was forced to accept the gift. Mr. Luo waved his hand and instructed, “Send someone to deliver the gifts to Madam Xia’s house.”

With these two expensive gifts, Xia Yunlou’s identity would be different. If nothing unexpected happened, Xia Yunlou would be able to enjoy endless glory as an honored guest of Xuan Island, but…

Xia Cheng’s back was already drenched in sweat. His eyes were filled with worry.

“Chairman Xia, I have another request,” Mr. Luo suddenly said.

Qiao Xi, who had always been in the corner, lazily opened her eyes as the corners of her mouth curled into a cold smile.

Xia Cheng’s heart trembled as Mr. Luo went straight to the point. “The head of the family is very sad to know that Madam Xia Yunqiu has passed away. He lamented that he couldn’t see her for the last time. I think the head of the family will be very happy to see Madam Xia Yunqiu’s younger sister. Can you meet our head, Madam Xia?”

Mr. Luo’s tone was very sincere. No one found it strange and even thought that it was reasonable. After all, the Luo family’s head had given Xia Yunlou such a valuable gift. He did not have any other requests and just wanted to meet Xia Yunlou to relieve the sorrow of his good friend’s death.

In everyone’s opinion, Xia Yunlou would definitely not refuse. Being able to meet the head of the Luo family was something that many people could not ask for. Moreover, Xia Yunlou had accepted his gifts, so she had no reason to refuse this request.

Unexpectedly, the Xia family did not say anything and seemed to be in a difficult position.

Xia Cheng was flustered. No, absolutely not! Although he did not know who had gone to Xuan Island, he was sure that person was not Xia Yunlou. If she went to see the Luo family’s head, then…

Xia Yunlou lowered her head and broke out in a cold sweat. She knew that she had fallen into a trap. Moreover, her reputation might be ruined this time and she would never be able to make a comeback.

Suddenly, a bright light flashed through her mind. Xia Yunlou abruptly raised her eyes and looked fiercely at Qiao Xi.

She finally understood. Everything was planned by Qiao Xi. From the moment Mr. Luo appeared, they had lured her into a trap step by step. Qiao Xi wanted to slander her for not being Xia Yunlou and completely destroy her!

Xia Yunlou glared fiercely at Qiao Xi, and her pale lips trembled violently. “Qiao Xi! I’m your biological mother! Why are you doing this to me?”

Qiao Xi blinked innocently and said aggrievedly, “Madam Xia, what are you talking about? What did I do to you? Mr. Luo is still waiting for your reply, but you came over to look for trouble with me. Could it be that you don’t want to see the head of the Luo family, so you’re deliberately changing the topic?”
