Chapter 1336 - 1336 You Brought This Upon Yourself
1336 You Brought This Upon Yourself
Xia Lan rushed over and cried. “Dad! Mengyan can’t marry into their family. Let’s discuss it with Madam Tan. There must be a way!”
As she spoke, Xia Lan turned around and looked fiercely at Qiao Xi. Her eyes were bloodshot, and she wished for nothing more than to tear Qiao Xi into pieces. “Qiao Xi! It’s all your fault! Why can’t you marry Young Master Tan? If you could just obediently marry him, this wouldn’t be happening to Mengyan right now! It’s all your fault! You jinx! B*tch! Why aren’t you dead?”
Xia Lan rushed over crazily. Just as her sharp nails were about to touch Qiao Xi, she was kicked a few meters away by Song Shiyu.
“Ah!!” Xia Lan fell heavily to the floor. She felt that all the bones in her body were about to fall apart, and she did not have the strength to stand up.
What happened in the Xia family caused an uproar online. There were even people explaining what had happened to the netizens who had just entered the live stream.
[That’s not right! The Xia family is so arrogant when they speak to Madam Tan. They’re even making so many comments that expose their lack of principles and values. Don’t they know that someone has started a live broadcast?]
[The bodyguard beside Qiao Xi is the one doing the live broadcast. We definitely can’t let the Xia family know! If they find out, there won’t be a live broadcast for us to watch anymore!]
The moment that was said, the live stream instantly fell silent for a few seconds as if they understood something.
Madam Tan looked at Mengyan, who was kneeling on the floor and crying. She shot the bodyguards beside her an impatient look.
Xia Cheng advised softly, “Mengyan, be good and follow Madam Tan to Y Nation today. I promise you that I’ll definitely go to Y Nation to look for you.”
“Ah Cheng!”
“Dad!”
Sumei and Xia Ji shouted.
Xia Cheng glared at them. “Shut up! We’ve already accepted the two billion yuan betrothal gift. We can’t go back on our word now! With the two billion yuan, we can make a comeback. Otherwise, our family will starve. As long as the Xia family regains power, we’ll be able to bring Mengyan back sooner or later.”
Xia Mengyan looked up in despair and said, “Grandpa! I’m the internationally renowned perfumer, Sally! All these years, I’ve brought more than two billion yuan to the Xia family. You…”
Unexpectedly, Grandpa sold her for two billion!
Xia Cheng hurriedly instructed the bodyguards to restrain Xia Ji and Xia Lan. He made the final decision. “Madam Tan, we’ve already signed the contract. You can take her away, but only a portion of the two billion was brought here. Please don’t go back on your word and give the rest to the Xia family as soon as possible.”
“Mengyan, follow Young Master Tan.”
Young Master Tan smiled foolishly and moved his fat body toward Xia Mengyan. “Although this lady isn’t as beautiful as Miss Qiao, she still looks good…”
“Ah!!! I don’t want to!” Xia Mengyan was shocked and moved back crazily.
Qiao Xi was still leaning against the sofa. She glanced at Xia Mengyan and withdrew her gaze.
Gu Zheng rubbed Qiao Xi’s hair affectionately and said softly, “You brought this upon yourself. Xi Xi doesn’t want to see this dirty scene, so let’s go.”
Xia Mengyan struggled to get up and staggered back. She looked at Old Madam Xia pleadingly and screamed, “Grandma! Save me!”
Sumei gritted her teeth and was in a dilemma.
That was two billion! Although her heart ached for her granddaughter, two billion would bring huge benefits to the Xia family. They could still live in a luxury villa and enjoy their beautiful lives as the upper cla.s.s.
Many people would make the same choice as them. Ai Sumei did not want this to happen either, but someone had to sacrifice for the Xia family. If they refused, not only would they not be able to get the two billion yuan, but they would also offend the Brook family. If that happened, would the Xia family still be able to survive?
Sumei turned her face away mercilessly and did not look at Xia Mengyan. She said helplessly, “Mengyan, I can’t do anything about it! Be good and marry Young Master Tan. After the Xia family survives this crisis, I’ll go to Y Nation to look for you. Your grandfather has put in so much effort to nurture you and the Xia family has given you so many resources. Now that it’s time for you to repay him, you can’t bear to see the Xia family go bankrupt, right?!”
Xia Mengyan cried in despair. Her gentle mask instantly shattered as she roared with a ferocious expression, “No! Ah!!!”
When had the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Xia family ever lost her composure like this? She had always been so arrogant. She had never thought that she would end up like this one day.
She looked up slightly and was heartbroken. “I’m the eldest daughter of the Xia family. Now, you’re selling me for… two billion? You love me, but in the face of money and benefits, I can be sacrificed. Grandma, how could you…”
