“Since you’re sure that the marriage contract is fake, why are you so afraid of letting us play the video? How do you know what I’m going to play?”

Qiao Xi curled her lips coldly and ordered, “Song Shijing.”

Song Shijing nodded, and the screen moved immediately. In the video, Xia Cheng and his wife said in a panic, “Friend, I’m really in trouble this time. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have come to look for you. You have to help me, or the Xia family will go bankrupt!”

Mr. Xiao nodded. “Calm down. We’ve been friends for so many years. Of course, I’ll help you. The Xia family’s crisis this time is because the capital chain has been broken. I can lend the Xia family 300 million yuan in assets first. You don’t have to rush to return it.”

300 million? That was 20 years ago. 300 million was enough to buy a company. It was enough to prove how rich the Xiao family was.

When Xia Cheng heard this, he instantly beamed. “Oh! Thank you, my friend. Other than that, I have something else to discuss with you. Previously, didn’t our two families agree on forming a marriage alliance? Now, look…”

Everyone watching the video knew very well that Xia Cheng took the initiative to propose a marriage alliance because he hoped that the Xiao family would be on the same page as them. If the Xia family encountered trouble again, the Xiao family would not be able to refuse to help them.

Xiao Lu hesitated for a moment, but in the end, he nodded. “It’s indeed a good thing for our two families to be united through marriage. Which child of mine have you taken a liking to?”

Xia Cheng said, “My granddaughter is already five years old. I heard that your eldest grandson is six years old. The two children are about the same age. Why don’t we set a marriage contract for the two of them?”

Xiao Lu chuckled and said, “Of course. Let’s set the engagement first and let the two children interact more. If they’re in love with each other when they reach adulthood, it’ll naturally be a happy ending. If they don’t like each other, we don’t have to force it. What’s your granddaughter’s name?”

Xia Cheng said, “My granddaughter is called Xia Mengyan.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the video ended. Everyone was shocked. They did not expect Xia Mengyan to really have another fiance. Moreover, when they were engaged, Mr. Xiao Lu lent the Xia family 300 million yuan. Not only was there a marriage contract as evidence, but there was also a video. The Xia family could not deny it at all.

The color on Xia Mengyan’s face gradually disappeared. She closed her eyes and did not dare to look at the scene on the screen. Her heart ached, and she was about to faint. However, she could only grit her teeth and endure it. She resisted losing her composure in front of everyone.

Everyone said indignantly, “When the Xia family went bankrupt, only the Xiao family was willing to fork out money. Half of the Xia family’s current wealth and power is thanks to the Xiao family. They should be grateful for the rest of their lives. Why is it that now that the Xiao family has gone bankrupt, this marriage doesn’t matter anymore?”

“This marriage contract was initiated by Xia Cheng. Back then, when he saw that the Xiao family was rich, he threw himself at them. Now that the Xiao family is bankrupt, he wants to marry his granddaughter to President Gu. He insists that she’s engaged to President Gu. The Xia family is really shameless!”

“Back then, Xia Cheng married into the Yin family and relied on the Yin family’s power to strengthen the Xia family. When he became successful, he cheated on Old Madam Xia. None of the people in this family are good. Unfortunately, Mr. Xiao generously helped a group of ingrates. When the Xiao family was in trouble, the Xia family refused to help.”

Xia Mengyan gritted her teeth. She did not expect Qiao Xi to be able to find out what had happened 20 years ago. She was a socialite in Luo City and an internationally renowned perfumer. She was the perfect goddess in everyone’s hearts. If news of this got out, her image would be completely ruined.

No, no!

Xia Cheng’s mind buzzed as everyone cursed and mocked him. The moment he looked up, he saw Yin Lianxin’s disdainful expression again. He clenched his fists tightly and suppressed the anger in his heart. He sighed helplessly. “It’s all my fault!”

Everyone looked at him in confusion, not knowing what other lies he would come up with.

Xia Mengyan seemed to know what her grandfather meant and hurriedly walked to his side. She held his hand, her eyes filled with sorrow. “Grandpa.”

Now that the matter was exposed, he could not deny it. Xia Cheng could only try his best to protect his granddaughter. After all, Mengyan had a lot of influence overseas and had millions of fans. She also had a studio under her name. Her future was limitless.

Xia Mengyan was the hope of the Xia family. As long as he could protect her reputation, the Xia family would still have a chance to make a comeback. He suddenly looked up and took a deep breath. “That’s right. Back then, I did form a marriage contract with the Xiao family, but Mengyan didn’t know about it!”
