1698 A Rose Invitation

“The Xia family has already lost more than ten billion yuan for an adopted daughter. You’re really muddle-headed!”

Everyone’s angry voices sounded one after another. Yin Lianyi felt her ears buzz.

She did not expect the consequences to be so serious. Everything she did was for Xia Corporation. How did it end up like this?

Qiao Xi had the Xia family’s blood flowing in her veins, but she did not grow up in the Xia family. She was unreliable. Chunyu was the eldest daughter of the Xia family. She could lead the Xia family to glory, so why was everyone criticizing her now?

“At this point, I won’t force you to apologize.” Xia Jingan suddenly said in a calm voice, “I announce that I’ll withdraw from Xia Corporation from today onward. Grandma, you like Chunyu the most, so let her be the heir.”

With that, Xia Jingan took out a document and handed it to Xia Chunyu. “Sign it. Xia Corporation is yours.”

This action stunned everyone while Xia Chunyu was overjoyed. She even suspected that she was dreaming. Xia Jingan was really giving Xia Corporation to her?

She had always fantasized about sitting in Xia Jingan’s seat. Unfortunately, the higher-ups of the company were unconvinced. Now that Xia Jingan had personally handed Xia Corporation to her, even if those higher-ups were unconvinced, they could only endure it.

As long as she managed the company, she could be on equal footing with the heirs of the other three big families and become the top socialite in the capital.

“Jingan, don’t be rash!”

“You can’t do this!”

Xia Zhao hurriedly went forward to stop them. Xia Corporation could not survive without Xia Jingan. As he was from the branch family of the Xia family, once the Xia family fell, he would also be affected and lose everything.

“Xia Chunyu!” Xia Zhao shouted at the top of his voice. “Apologize! Jingan can’t leave Xia Corporation! Absolutely not!”

Xia Chunyu looked unconvinced, and her eyes were filled with viciousness. She snatched the contract and signed it under everyone’s shocked gazes. “I’m the daughter of the Xia family. I have the right to inherit Xia Corporation. It’s good that Xia Jingan took the initiative to withdraw. It’s only right for me to manage the company. Who do you think you are to force me to apologize?”

Everyone looked at her in disdain. Was she worthy of being compared to Xia Jingan?

Xia Zhao glanced at the transfer document and took a deep breath. “Alright! In that case, I’ll leave Xia Corporation too!”

With the first person taking the lead, everyone announced that they wanted to withdraw. Yin Lianyi’s expression instantly darkened. “Alright! I hope you won’t regret it. Now get lost!”

Then, more than ten companies under the Xia family announced that they would leave Xia Corporation and follow Xia Jingan to establish Jingan Corporation. Now, Xia Corporation was only an empty shell.

…

Qiao Xi was not shocked in the slightest when she heard that Xia Corporation had been split into two. With Xia Jingan’s ability, it was completely possible. Old Madam Xia and Xia Chunyu had already received their punishment. Without their former power, they were no longer a threat to her.

At this moment, Uncle Sheng walked in and handed her an invitation. “Young Madam, someone just sent this over. They said they want to invite you to be a guest.”

Qiao Xi took it. There was no signature on the invitation, only an address. A vivid rose was drawn in the lower right corner.

Following the address on the invitation, the chauffeur sent her to an antique courtyard in the suburbs. The attendant at the door saw her and respectfully invited her in.

She followed the attendant all the way to the main residence. As soon as she entered, she smelled a strong medicinal fragrance. The first person she saw was a man in a wheelchair. He looked to be in his 30s, but his hair was white, and his face was pale. He looked like he did not have long to live. Sitting beside him was Old Master Situ, whom Qiao Xi had seen before.

“Xi Xi, you’re here. Quickly take a seat.” Old Master Situ smiled, while the young man nodded at her.

“Old Master.” Qiao Xi bowed to the two of them to show her respect, then sat on the chair opposite.

Old Master Situ pointed at the man beside him and said softly, “Xi Xi, let me introduce you. This is my son, Situ Mingye.”

Qiao Xi widened her eyes. How could his son be so young?

Old Master Situ could tell that she was surprised and explained, “I believe you know that the Situ family suffered a heavy blow a few years ago. Mingye was poisoned by a strange poison because of this. The symptoms of this poison are that his face won’t age, but he’ll be disabled and he’ll have to suffer for the rest of his life. In reality, Ming Ye is already in his 60s, but he still looks to be in his 30s.

“Actually, Mingye is your biological grandfather, and his child, Situ Yu, is your biological father. It’s just that he’s been missing for many years, and there’s been no news of him.”

Before Qiao Xi came, she had already expected that Old Master Situ would lay his cards on the table with her. However, she never expected that the sickly man in front of her was actually her grandfather!
