Chapter 1277 - 1277 The Luo Family’s Guest

1277 The Luo Family’s Guest
Hearing Mr. Luo’s explanation, Xia Cheng’s expression softened a little. Was this really the reason? Mr. Luo was beating about the bush just to prove that Xia Yunlou was Xia Yunqiu’s younger sister?
Why did he have a bad feeling?
Before Xia Cheng could figure it out, Mr. Luo ordered his subordinates to bring two red boxes over.
“Chairman Xia, although Miss Xia Mengyan destroyed the porcelain sculpture Young Master gave her for her own selfish reasons and caused the collaboration between the two families to be canceled, Madam Xia Yunqiu is still an honored guest of our Luo family. Back then, Madam Xia Yunlou went to Xuan Island and was considered a guest of the Luo family too, so the head of the family also prepared a big gift for her.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Luo looked at Qiao Xi and said in a gentle tone, “Miss Qiao, the patriarch prepared a gift for Madam Xia Yunqiu, but she’s no longer alive. Please accept it on her behalf, Miss Qiao.”
One of the boxes was given to Qiao Xi, while the other was placed on the table in front of Xia Yunlou.
Seeing this, Xia Cheng heaved a sigh of relief, but he was still a little uneasy. He knew that Yunqiu was close to the Luo family, which was why the Luo family was discussing a collaboration with the Xia family. However, Mr. Luo had taken such a big detour just to give a gift?
As Yunqiu and the young madam were good friends, Xia Yunlou was also receiving preferential treatment, but…
No!
Xia Cheng’s pupils constricted, and his blood froze.
Impossible! Xia Yunlou had never left the Xia family all these years! The Luo family said that Xia Yunlou had gone to Xuan Island 24 years ago, but all these years, Xia Yunlou had always been in the Xia family of Shengdu. Even when she went on a long trip, she would always be with the Xia family. It was impossible for her to have gone to Xuan Island!
Then who was the person who accompanied Xia Yunqiu to Xuan Island back then?
Xia Cheng’s body stiffened, and his throat was dry. He could not say a word.
Mr. Luo’s gaze landed on Xia Cheng. He smiled and asked, “Chairman Xia, don’t you want to know what this gift is?”𝒇𝔯𝗲𝚎𝘄𝑒𝑏𝚗𝑜𝚟𝗲𝑙.c𝘰𝓶
Xia Cheng’s heart was in his throat. His mind was a mess, and he did not dare to look into Mr. Luo’s eyes, afraid that he would see through him.
Xia Yunlou, who was at the side, was also confused. Had she been to Xuan Island 24 years ago? And she was there to look for Xia Yunqiu?
At that time, she had snatched Xia Yunqiu’s fiance and married into the Jiang family. She and Xia Yunqiu should have completely fallen out. She cursed Xia Yunqiu to die and not come back to disturb her life. Why would she go to Xuan Island to look for Xia Yunqiu?
Xia Yunlou’s heart skipped a beat, and her eyes were filled with horror.
She was sure that she had never been to Xuan Island, but Mr. Luo said that she had. Could it be that the Luo family and Qiao Xi were scheming against her?
On the other hand, Mr. Luo had already instructed his subordinates to open the red box. Inside was a pearl crown and an exquisite token. This was a gift for Xia Yunlou.
“Madam Xia, what do you think? Do you like this gift?” Mr. Luo asked softly.
Xia Yunlou’s heart thumped violently. She did not understand what Mr. Luo wanted to do and felt even more uneasy. She had clearly never been to Xuan Island, but…
She glanced at the gift in the box, and exclamations instantly sounded around her. Everyone hurriedly stood up and craned their necks to look at the gift in the box.
“Wasn’t this pearl crown personally made by the Luo family’s head when he was young? I heard that the pearls on it were carefully selected. Every single one of them is expensive. 20 years ago, the price of this pearl crown had already reached 80 million yuan. It’s even harder to estimate now. They’re giving such a precious thing to Xia Yunlou?”
“I remember that the Luo family’s head said that this pearl crown was specially made for Madam Luo, but Madam Luo thought it was too gorgeous and never wore it. The Luo family’s head said that Madam Luo would get to decide who to give this crown to. Now that it’s being given to Xia Yunlou, it seems that it was Madam Luo’s idea.”
“In that case, when Madam Luo was still alive, she had already prepared a gift for the Xia sisters. It’s only because Xia Yunlou is Xia Yunqiu’s younger sister that she got to receive such a valuable gift. Looks like Madam Luo really treated Xia Yunqiu as her biological sister.”
Everyone sighed and looked at Xia Yunlou with a trace of envy. However, Xia Yunlou was not happy at all. Instead, she became even more flustered.
Why did the Luo family give her such a valuable gift?
“By the way, that token is…”
At this moment, someone else exclaimed, and their voice was trembling slightly. “If I’m not wrong, that’s the token of Xuan Island. It allows one to enter and exit Xuan Island at will. The person who has this token is an honored guest of the Luo family!”
