Lady Gu Is Too Weak To Fend For Herself



"Jingan!" Yin Lianyi shouted. "What's going on at Xia Corporation? Is Qiao Xi still unwilling to appear?"

Xia Jingan pretended to be surprised. "Grandma, you still care about Xia Corporation? Didn't you and Xia Chunyu already give up on the company?"

"Why are you being so sarcastic? What's so good about Qiao Xi? You'd rather see Xia Corporation fall into danger than plead with Qiao Xi. Why are you still mocking Chunyu and me?" Yin Lianyi was furious.

Xia Jingan's face was filled with mockery. He glanced indifferently at Xia Chunyu, then went upstairs.

Yin Lianyi revealed a vicious expression and shouted indignantly, "Why should I apologize? If Xia Corporation really falls into a crisis, it'll be Qiao Xi's responsibility. Everyone should settle the score with her!"

The corners of Xia Chunyu's mouth curled into a proud smile. His grandmother would definitely hate Qiao Xi more and more. She would blame Qiao Xi for all the humiliation and the company's losses before finally chasing Qiao Xi out of the house!

Just as Xia Chunyu was feeling proud of herself, Aunt Liu's voice came from outside. "Old Madam! The branch family… The Xia branch family is here!"

Yin Lianyi suddenly stood up. The Xia branch family usually did not come to the house. They only appeared at family gatherings. Could it be that they suddenly came because of the matter with the company?

"Invite them in and get Jingan to come downstairs."

As soon as she finished speaking, the door of the villa slammed open. Before Yin Lianyi could react, an angry voice came from the door. "Sister-in-law! Why aren't you bringing Chunyu over to apologize when things have already come to this point?"

This person was the clueless old master of the Xia branch family and Yin Lianyi's husband's biological younger brother, Xia Zhao. Ever since Yin Lianyi took over the Xia family, Xia Zhao had been very respectful to her and had never spoken to her in such a questioning tone.

When Xia Chunyu heard this, tears instantly fell. She threw herself into Yin Lianyi's arms in fear.

Yin Lianyi said unhappily, "Second Brother, what are you trying to do by bringing people here? Are you interrogating Chunyu and me?"

Xia Zhao thought of the miserable state of his shop and naturally did not have a good expression. "You don't know the current situation of Xia Corporation. If this goes on, the company will close down. As long as you apologize, Miss Qiao will let us off."

"Impossible!" Yin Lianyi refused angrily.

"For the sake of your ego, you'd rather Xia Corporation go bankrupt?" Xia Zhao was extremely angry and glared fiercely at Xia Chunyu. Then, he rushed over and grabbed Xia Chunyu's arm. "Xia Chunyu! Let's go! Follow me to apologize!"

Xia Chunyu was shocked as tears trickled down her face. She grabbed Yin Lianyi's sleeve tightly and refused to let go. She wailed loudly, "Grandma! Save me! Save me!"

Yin Lianyi was burning with anger as she berated, "Let go! Who do you think you are? How dare you attack Chunyu?"

Xia Zhao roared. "Do you know that the restaurants under Xia Corporation are about to close down?"

"So what if they do? We're a big family. We don't have to care about those restaurants. You want me and Chunyu to apologize? Dream on! Get lost!" Yin Lianyi pointed at the door and shouted.

Xia Zhao widened his eyes in disappointment. "Yin Lianyi, you're really muddle-headed! You don't hesitate to sacrifice us for Xia Chunyu? The Xia family will be destroyed in your hands sooner or later!"

At this moment, someone received a call, and their voice was filled with panic. "What? The supermarkets have closed down too? The three big families want to exterminate us!

"Gu Corporation cut off all collaborations with us? It's all over!"

After the person hung up, he looked at Xia Chunyu angrily. "You jinx. It's all because of you that the supermarkets under Xia Corporation were seized. Are you happy?"

Xia Chunyu looked panicked and hid behind Yin Lianyi in fear.

"How can you blame Chunyu? It's all Qiao Xi's fault! Why aren't you looking for her?!" Yin Lianyi retorted loudly.

Xia Chunyu cried out, "Grandma, why won't Sister Xi Xi let me off? I didn't do anything wrong!"

"That's right! What did Chunyu do wrong? Instead of looking for Qiao Xi, you're blaming Chunyu. Isn't this too much?" Yin Lianyi roared.

"I don't care who's right or wrong. I only know that Xia Corporation's shares are about to fall to the limit," Xia Zhao said with a cold face.

"Grandma." At this moment, Xia Jingan came down from upstairs. His thin lips parted slightly, and he said, "It's not just the shares. The Xia family has already been eliminated by the development area project jointly organized by the four major families. It means that the three billion yuan that Xia Corporation invested in the project previously can't be returned for the time being. The restaurants, supermarkets, and entertainment venues under Xia Corporation will all be closed. We'll suffer heavy losses, and the company won't be able to operate normally."

Yin Lianyi's face gradually turned pale. When she took the documents from Xia Jingan, her entire body went soft and she almost fell to the floor. Just because they did not apologize, Qiao Xi wanted to destroy the Xia family?
