Chapter 1320 - 1320 Becoming The Future Mrs. Brook

1320 Becoming The Future Mrs. Brook
Xia Mengyan forcefully suppressed the excitement in her heart. As long as Madam Tan took Qiao Xi away today, Qiao Xi would be Tan Yu’s toy. She would be imprisoned in the Brook family’s cage forever and suffer all kinds of torture. Even Gu Zheng would not be able to save her.
Qiao Xi’s life was ruined, but she was still the high and mighty eldest daughter of the Xia family. She was a perfumer who was sought after by everyone. It would not be long before everyone forgot their past unhappiness. After all, as long as Qiao Xi was not around, no one would stand in her way.
Xia Mengyan softened her expression and tried her best to control the excitement in her heart. “Xi Xi, these are the betrothal gifts from the Tan family.”
“Betrothal gifts?” Qiao Xi was slightly surprised and casually asked, “Who’s getting married?”
Before Xia Mengyan could explain, Xia Cheng, Xia Lan, and the others received Xia Mengyan’s message and brought Tan Yu to the living room.
“Xi Xi, you’re finally here. Why are you standing there? Sit down! Someone, pour Second Miss some tea!”
Xia Cheng smiled affectionately. “Xi Xi, I know you’re unwilling to acknowledge the Xia family, but you’re a child of the Xia family, after all. I still hope you can come home more often to visit us. In the future, you’ll be a daughter of the Xia family, just like Mengyan. I won’t favor one over the other.”
Qiao Xi replied coldly, “Chairman Xia, I have nothing to do with the Xia family. If you called me over today just for this identity, then there’s nothing else to say. My time is very precious, so I’ll get going first.”
She turned around and was about to leave when she suddenly heard Xia Cheng smile coldly. “Xi Xi, don’t be in a rush to leave! Since you’ve said so, I won’t hide it anymore.”
After he finished speaking, Xia Cheng shot Ai Sumei a look. Ai Sumei instantly understood and hurriedly whispered a few words in Madam Tan’s ear. Then, everyone’s gazes landed on Qiao Xi as if they were looking at a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.
“Actually, I’ve already arranged a marriage for you. The other party has already delivered the betrothal gifts to your door. The other party is Young Master Tan from the Brook family in Y Nation. After you marry him, restrain your temper and serve Young Master Tan well.”
As soon as she finished speaking, a black shadow pounced toward Qiao Xi. Qiao Xi raised her eyes and saw a fat and greasy man. His triangular eyes revealed wretchedness and infatuation. Saliva even flowed out of the corners of his mouth as he rushed over with the intention of touching Qiao Xi’s face.
Qiao Xi took a step back and avoided his touch. She even glared at him with an icy-cold gaze. Tan Yu was terrified by her gaze and slightly afraid to go forward.
The entire venue was silent for a few seconds. Xia Cheng’s expression gradually darkened as if he felt that there was no need to continue pretending since Qiao Xi had already entered the Xia family’s residence.
“Xi Xi, why are you dodging? You’re Young Master Tan’s wife. What’s wrong with him touching you?”
Qiao Xi’s eyes were suffused with a trace of coldness as she asked word by word, “Chairman Xia, are you sure you want me to marry him?”
Xia Cheng knew Qiao Xi’s thoughts and immediately said firmly, “Of course, you have to marry him! Let me tell you, I’ve already accepted the betrothal gifts. The Brook family is very sincere and gave two billion. It’s enough to show how much Young Master Tan values you. I believe you’ll definitely be very happy if you marry him.”
“Betrothal gifts?” Qiao Xi’s voice carried a trace of ridicule.
At this moment, Madam Tan said with a smile, “Miss Qiao, our Lil’ Yu really likes you. According to Li City’s customs, we’ve already given the Xia family betrothal gifts. Moreover, the Xia family has already accepted the two billion yuan. From now on, you’re a member of our Brook family. Live well with Lil’ Yu in the future and I won’t treat you badly.
“Miss Qiao, this is my son, Tan Yu. We’ll bring you back to Y Nation today and hold a wedding there.”
Madam Tan added, “By the way, I also heard that your adoptive mother left you a generous inheritance. According to Li City’s rules, after you accept the betrothal gifts, you should also get a portion of the dowry. However, the Xia family probably can’t fork out any dowry now, so if you agree to marry into the Brook family with your adoptive mother’s inheritance, I’m willing to let you become the future Madam Brook. I’ll bring you to all kinds of banquets and let you see true high society.”
Qiao Xi sighed in her heart. Why were these people so shameless? From what Madam Tan said, was she marrying that ugly man or was she marrying someone out of her league?
“Heh!” Qiao Xi sneered. “Madam Tan, I really admire you. You can even say such things out loud! The companies and shares under my name add up to more than two billion yuan. This doesn’t even include the jewelry and properties my mother left me. Moreover, there’ll be an endless stream of dividends in the future. Don’t you think it’s too ridiculous for you to buy all my things with a betrothal gift of merely two billion yuan?”
