After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1145 How Coincidental

Xu Lan was not very willing to do that. Qiao Mei was clearly fine and it was so inauspicious to hang white lanterns. What if something really happened to Qiao Mei because of the lanterns?

However, she also understood that Xia Jun was trying to find the perpetrator behind the scenes. Given her status in the family, she could not refute Xia Jun’s instruction.

“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to do it now,” Xia Mao said.

“Come back, I’m not done yet. Do Xia Wen and the rest know about this?” Xia Jun asked as he stared straight into Xia Mao’s eyes.

“Xiao He ran into some trouble over the past two days and Xia Wen has been busy dealing with Xiao He’s issue. Qiao Mei got into trouble right after that,” Xia Mao said.

Xia Jun laughed in a mocking manner. It was too coincidental that on this day, all the key people were not around. Xia He was arrested and held at the police station while Xia Wen had to go and deal with Xia He’s matter. He happened to be out of town for an event and Xia Mao was also not feeling well today.

Xia Mao was stunned for a moment before he understood what Xia Jun meant. He nodded and left.

“Call my helper, Sister Zhang, to come over tomorrow to wait upon Qiao Mei. She was the one who took care of Wu Min in the past, so she’d have no problem taking care of Qiao Mei. We can let the hospital nurses take care of her tonight first,” Xia Jun instructed.

“Father, can I stay here with Qiao Mei?” Xu Lan asked tentatively.

“No. You have to go home and oversee everything. If Qiao Mei has really suffered an attack but, as her mother-in-law, you are not sad at all and still stay here in the ward, it will inevitably make people feel suspicious,” Xia Jun said.

Xu Lan nodded to indicate that she understood. In this situation, the key thing to do now was to capture the person who hurt Qiao Mei. Otherwise, there would be endless trouble in the future. Since this person could manipulate everyone around Qiao Mei to create an opportunity to hurt her, it was hard to say that this person would not scheme against Qiao Mei’s two children in the future and put them in danger.

They must bring down this enemy in one move without giving the game away .

“Ask the two helpers from Qiao Mei’s house to come over. I have a few questions to ask them,” Xia Jun said.

Xia Mao sent a chauffeur to pick up Feng Hua. She did not enter the hospital through the main door but used the back door and came through the staircase meant for the exclusive use of VIPs. She reached the ward door without being seen by anyone.

“Are you Qiao Mei’s helper?” Xia Jun asked as he sized up her carefully.

“Yes, my name is Feng Hua. I just started working for Qiao Mei not long ago. I used to work as a nanny for many families in the past.” Feng Hua was not afraid of Xia Jun at all. She was a person of integrity and was not afraid of being investigated.

“Is there anyone else? Didn’t I hear that there are two people? Why is there only one here now?” Xia Jun asked curiously.

Feng Hua did not know what Wei Hao had gone off to do. She had waited in the house for so long but still did not see Wei Hao returning. However, she already had a rough guess in her mind.

“I heard from the chauffeur that she’s the only one at home,” Xu Lan explained.

“Did you see anything suspicious at home?” Xia Jun asked.

“At that time, Qiao Mei said she wanted to eat pastries, so I went to the kitchen to get food for her. When I came out of the kitchen door, I saw the gardener rushing out of the courtyard. At that time, I was so concerned about Qiao Mei that I did not try to stop him. I suspect that this matter might be related to him.” Feng Hua told Xia Jun everything in detail.

Xu Lan fell into deep thought. Qiao Mei’s helpers were all recommended by Sister Fan. By right, these should be people who were close to her family, so how could such a thing happen?

“I’ll get someone to investigate that. Qiao Mei’s siblings are still at her house, right? You should go back and take care of those children,” Xia Jun said sternly.

“Then what about Qiao Mei? Doesn’t Qiao Mei need me to take care of her? Is there anyone here to wait upon Qiao Mei?” Although Feng Hua had only been at Qiao Mei’s house for a few days, she really liked Qiao Mei very much. She had been waiting for her beloved all her life so she remained unmarried and had no children. When she met Qiao Mei, she felt a sense of closeness, so she took care of Qiao Mei wholeheartedly.

“Qiao Mei… is gone,” Xia Jun said in a choked voice.

“Gone… what do you mean by gone? Is… is it what I think?” Feng Hua asked with a trembling voice.

Feng Hua could not accept this fact. Qiao Mei was so young and at an age where she was like a flower in bloom, so how could such a thing happen? This afternoon, Qiao Mei was still smiling and asking for Feng Hua’s handmade pastries. How could she be gone now…
