1695 The Secret The Three Great Families Are Afraid Of
Xia Jingan saw the viciousness in her eyes and sneered. “Grandma, you keep blaming Xi Xi, but don’t forget who the real daughter of the Xia family is. Xia Chunyu was adopted. She holds luxurious birthday banquets every year, which is such a waste. Xi Xi is only holding this one banquet in her life, but you didn’t even attend. Aren’t you showing blatant disrespect toward Xi Xi?”
Yin Lianyi was instantly speechless. “I…”
Xia Jingan said coldly, “Grandma, you’ve already paid the price. You should know the consequences if you dare to go against Xi Xi again, right?”
Yin Lianyi suddenly became nervous. “What can she do to me? She’s my granddaughter. If she dares to attack me, she’ll be unfilial!”
“She doesn’t have to do it herself. The other three big families will appear to deal with the Xia family. As Aunt Yunqiu’s daughter, why is Xi Xi able to make the three big families afraid upon her return to the capital? Don’t you want to know the reason?”
“What does this have to do with Xia Yunqiu? Didn’t Xia Yunqiu die back then because of the three big families—”
Yin Lianyi’s voice stopped abruptly, and Xia Jingan sneered. “That’s right. The three big families chased after Aunt Yunqiu because she had something on her. However, in the eyes of outsiders, Aunt Yunqiu left the capital because the Xia family chased her away and even helped Xia Zishan snatch her lover. The Xia family even wanted to kill her.
“Everyone thinks that Xia Yunqiu was killed by the Xia family, and no one thinks that it’s the fault of the three big families. Now, they want to support Qiao Xi. They’re afraid that Xi Xi will publicize that secret, so they’re on Xi Xi’s side.”
Xia Jingan’s words clearly told Yin Lianyi that going against Qiao Xi meant death!
“Old Madam!” At this moment, the assistant rushed in. “The three major families have jointly released a statement. They said that for the sake of the Xia family’s adopted daughter, you neglected the real daughter of the Xia family. They want to seek an explanation for Miss Yunqiu’s daughter. Xia Corporation is really in trouble this time!”
Yin Lianyi’s body trembled as she suddenly looked at Xia Jingan.
Although the Xia family was also one of the four major families, if the three major families joined forces, the Xia family would definitely not be their match. Back then, the four of them joined forces and divided the Situ family’s assets amongst themselves. Could it be that it was the Xia family’s turn now?
Yin Lianyi broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly grabbed Xia Jingan’s arm. “Jingan! You’re the heir of Xia Corporation. You can’t ignore this matter! You must have a way to help Xia Corporation survive this crisis!”
Xia Jingan sneered. “Grandma, I advise you to bring Xia Chunyu to apologize to Xi Xi immediately. Only when Xi Xi forgives you can the three major families let you off. Otherwise, they’ll attack Xia Corporation sooner or later and divide our assets.”
Yin Lianyi knew very well in her heart that the four great families had been peaceful all these years because they were holding onto the same secret. That way, they could restrain each other. However, now that Qiao Xi had appeared and broken the balance, the three families could devour the Xia family at any time. Now, only Qiao Xi could save the Xia family
Xia Jingan said casually, “That’s all I have to say. Everything else will depend on your choice.”
With that, Xia Jingan turned around and left.
Anger surged in Yin Lianyi’s heart as she smashed everything on the table. She was the old madam of the Xia family and the person with the highest status. Xia Jingan actually spoke to her like this?
He wanted her and Chunyu to apologize to Qiao Xi? Dream on! She would not apologize. She would see what they could do!
Qiao Xi was indeed the same as Xia Yunqiu. They were both jinxes. As soon as the mother and daughter arrived in the capital, they caused a ruckus and implicated Xia Corporation’s shares.
“I’m not going! I want to see what benefits she can get from destroying the Xia family!” Old Madam Yin roared angrily.
…
At this moment, Qiao Xi was flipping through a notebook in the room when Gu Zheng walked in. “What are you looking at?”
“Mom’s belongings.” Qiao Xi put down her notebook and sighed helplessly. “I’ve looked through all her belongings. I just want to find out what the three great families are afraid of, but I didn’t find anything.
“Ah Zheng, do you think that secret really exists?”
The moment that was said, Gu Zheng’s eyes flickered.
Qiao Xi muttered, “Back then, the Situ family was brought down and their assets were divided up by the four great families. When Mom was facing a threat, could it be that she deliberately created a secret just to protect me?”
Gu Zheng said slowly, “The four major families thought that she left with a secret, so they sent people to chase after her. However, now that you’ve returned to the capital, they don’t dare to attack you anymore. If they anger you, they might pay a painful price.”
