"Actually, it doesn't matter if this secret exists or not. As long as the three families think that it exists, they won't dare to act rashly."

Hearing Gu Zheng's words, Qiao Xi was enlightened. Actually, this was her mother's way of protecting her. Because those people had ulterior motives, they did not dare to hurt her.

She packed the belongings and placed them in the box. "If Mom really wanted me to know that secret, she would've left me a clue. I haven't found it, so it's possible that Mom lied to them."

She should not be worried about this. The people who should be worried were the four major families.

At this moment, Gu Corporation released an announcement accusing Xia Corporation of plagiarism. In the statement, it was pointed out that Xia Corporation's 'Illusory Night Clothing' had plagiarized the clothes Gu Corporation released two years ago.

Gu Corporation released the design draft and the photos from back then. The style and fabric of the two clothes were almost the same. Even the embroidery on the collar was exactly the same.

Under normal circumstances, a plagiarism dispute like this could be discussed in private. As long as Xia Corporation was willing to compensate and stop producing the clothes, the matter would be resolved. However, Gu Corporation posted a statement online to protect their rights.

In the fashion industry, plagiarism was common, but this was the first time everyone had seen a party plagiarize Gu Corporation. They all reposted the news. Some of them knew that Gu Zheng was declaring war on Xia Corporation because Mrs. Gu had suffered at the hands of the Xia family.Soon, Xia Corporation received a lawyer's letter from Gu Corporation. The other party did not accept the compensation and wanted to blow things up. If a company's reputation was ruined, it would be very difficult to continue operating.

The higher-ups gathered in the meeting room with worried expressions. "Jingan! Our Xia Corporation has always valued our reputation. With the Xia family being one of the four major families in the capital, there hasn't been a plagiarism scandal for decades. Could it be that Gu…"

"This is Gu Zheng's warning to Xia Corporation." Xia Jingan looked helpless. "I've already advised Old Madam Xia, but she's unwilling to apologize. I can't do anything about it."

Everyone knew that Old Madam Xia had abandoned her daughter, Xia Yunqiu, years ago. Now, for the sake of the family's adopted daughter, she had offended Qiao Xi. As Xia Yunqiu's daughter, how could Qiao Xi swallow this anger? She did not have any feelings for the Xia family. If she was really angered, she had the ability to destroy the Xia family.

"Jingan! You can't ignore this matter! Xia Corporation is also a result of your hard work. You have to think of a way!"

"That's right! I heard that you have a good relationship with Miss Qiao. If you visit her and beg her, she might let us off."

Xia Jingan sneered. "Xia Corporation is Grandma's and Xia Chunyu's business. It has nothing to do with me. I'm the heir on the surface, but I don't have any shares."

The moment that was said, everyone could not help but feel disappointed for Xia Jingan. He had been working hard for Xia Corporation for so many years. Everyone thought that he was the heir, but Old Madam Xia was actually biased toward Xia Chunyu. She gave the family's adopted daughter so many shares but was unwilling to give any to Xia Jingan.

Everyone knew that Old Madam Xia wanted to leave Xia Corporation to Xia Chunyu in the future. She was just temporarily letting Xia Jingan carry the title of heir. In the end, he was just someone who worked for Xia Chunyu.

They originally wanted to persuade Xia Jingan, but after hearing his words, no one could say anything.

That was right! He did not have any shares, so why should he risk his life for Xia Corporation?

Seeing that everyone was silent, Xia Jingan felt that the time was right. He slowly said, "Everyone, I have no obligation to solve Xia Chunyu's problems for her. Everything I've done for the Xia family all these years is enough to repay them for raising me."

The shareholders echoed, "You're right. You're so capable, so why do you have to pave the way for Xia Chunyu? Is a piece of trash like her worth your effort?"

Xia Jingan smiled at that person. "Speaking of which, may I ask if you're willing to follow me? I want to create a brand new Xia Corporation!"

Everyone was instantly stunned and looked at him with burning eyes.

A brand new Xia Corporation?

They had been in Xia Corporation for so many years and had seen Old Madam Xia almost destroy Xia Corporation for Xia Zishan. Now, for Xia Chunyu, Xia Corporation's reputation was damaged and the share prices had fallen. They were already extremely disappointed in Old Madam Xia.

Everyone was silent. They had been with Xia Jingan for so many years and knew that although he was young, he was very capable. If they followed him, they would definitely be able to create a more glorious Xia Corporation.

"Alright! We'll follow you!"

Xia Jingan was not surprised at all. He only curled his lips slightly. "Then let's wait."

At this moment in the Xia family's villa…

Yin Lianyi had a worried expression. "It's just a small matter. Do you really want me to apologize to her?"

"Old Madam, Young Master is back."

The next second, Xia Jingan walked in and was about to go upstairs.
