1333 Businessmen Prioritize Benefits

Hearing Xia Cheng’s words, Qiao Xi was still expressionless as if she was used to the Xia family’s shameless words and they could no longer arouse her emotions.

She knew that Xia Cheng would not admit his mistake easily, but she was not a soft-hearted person. Since Xia Mengyan dared to scheme against her, she would give her a taste of her own medicine and let Xia Mengyan marry Young Master Tan!

Xia Cheng could not guess what Qiao Xi was thinking. He did not realize that everything that was happening in the Xia family was being broadcasted live. The audience could clearly see the Xia family’s ugly nature.

At this moment, Xia Cheng was still confident that everything was under control. “President Gu, I want to talk to you alone.”

Song s.h.i.+jing and Song s.h.i.+yu looked at each other with disdain.

Everyone’s gazes landed on Gu Zheng, who replied casually, “Chairman Xia, let’s talk here.”

A trace of embarra.s.sment flashed past Xia Cheng’s eyes, but he quickly recovered. He glanced at Qiao Xi with disdain, then cleared his throat and said, “President Gu, I’ll shamelessly ask you for a favor today.”

With that, Xia Cheng smiled obsequiously and said self-righteously, “Since those things have been exposed, there’s nothing to hide. Xi Xi is indeed not a member of the Xia family. We do want to use her in exchange for the two billion yuan betrothal gift. This two billion yuan can help our Xia family tide over the difficulties. I think if you were me, you would have made the same choice. President Gu, you’re also a businessman. You should understand our actions.”

Song s.h.i.+yu sighed in his heart. Fortunately, he had not eaten before coming. Otherwise, he would have vomited on the spot. Did this old man know what he was saying? It was fine for him to want to get two billion yuan through a marriage alliance, but what right did he have to marry off someone who had nothing to do with the Xia family to the Brook family?

The Xia family wasn’t forming a marriage alliance, they were engaging in human trafficking. Now, he actually said that businessmen valued benefits above all else. Would the president understand him?

Xia Cheng did not feel guilty at all. He even felt that there was nothing wrong with his actions. He thought that businessmen had to prioritize benefits. Human character and morals were not important.

Qiao Xi leaned against the sofa as she let out a cold snort. She was already flattering Xia Cheng by merely saying that he was shameless.

Xia Cheng glanced at Qiao Xi. He was slightly puzzled. Why was Qiao Xi so indifferent? It was even to the extent that she looked at him with disdain.

He calmed the uneasiness in his heart and raised his eyes to look at Gu Zheng. “President Gu, you’re naturally very capable to be able to make Gu Corporation so big. You must know that sometimes, in order to achieve your goal, you have to sacrifice some people. This is also part of fate. With Qiao Xi’s sacrifice, we can get two billion yuan and also the protection of the Brook family. This is a very good deal. It’s Qiao Xi’s honor to be able to fetch a bethrotal gift of two billion yuan. President Gu, you’re also a businessman, so you should know what to do.

“President Gu, you’re such an outstanding man. You can find any woman you want. Even if you’re divorced, countless women will fight to marry you. This opportunity is really too rare.

“As long as you nod your head and agree, I can give you half of the two billion yuan I get by sacrificing Qiao Xi. I hope you can help the Xia family in the future. What do you think?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Song s.h.i.+jing and Song s.h.i.+yu were instantly infuriated and clenched their fists unconsciously.

This old man was going to buy Young Madam and even give half of the stolen money to the president? How did he have such a disgusting thought?

In their opinion, Xia Cheng wanting to split the proceeds with the president was undoubtedly an insult to the president. With the president’s love for Young Madam, he would never sell her even if he died.

However, Xia Cheng did not think so. He felt that benefits were the most important. Gu Zheng would not refuse this condition. After all, most men would choose to give up their wives for a billion. Hence, not only did Xia Cheng want to sell Qiao Xi, but he even wanted to make her suffer till the very last moment. He wanted her to see her husband abandon her with her own eyes.

When Xia Mengyan heard Xia Cheng’s words, she suddenly looked up. Her eyes were filled with antic.i.p.ation. If Gu Zheng agreed…

“Heh.”

Under everyone’s burning gazes, Gu Zheng, who had been silent all this while, suddenly chuckled. He slowly looked up, his deep eyes glowing. However, his tone was terrifyingly cold. “Chairman Xia.”

Xia Cheng looked proud as if he had already confirmed Gu Zheng’s choice.
