After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1321 Come to Fruition

Deng Fan’s motorcycle was not registered to enter the neighborhood, so he could not come and go freely. He had to sign off at the guardhouse before he could ride in. The entire process would have taken up a lot of their time, so they just left the motorcycle outside the main gate and ran all the way in, worried that they would be too late.

Xia Zhe took the key from Deng Fan and went to help him with the registration process. The couple had already used up a lot of energy, so it was better for them to rest at home.

“You’re always so rash. I’m fine now, see?” Xu Lan said with a smile. Although she was scolding Xia He, she felt warm inside.

“I’m just worried about you! It’s like anyone can enter our house nowadays. Let’s get Brother Luo to arrange for two of his men to stand guard at the door. People who are not related to our family cannot just enter or leave as they please. These people are really too much!” Xia He said angrily.

Deng Fan simply stood beside Xia He and did not say anything. This was the first time he was visiting the Xia family and he had never intended for his first visit to be so abrupt. He had even come empty-handed and it made him feel very awkward.

Liu Fen gave Xia He a look and she immediately noticed that Deng Fan felt left out. She quickly spoke in a gentle tone to Xu Lan and the rest, “Mother, Second Aunt-in-law, Mei Mei, this is the person I’ve told you before. He’s Deng Fan.”

Deng Fan quickly bowed deeply to Xu Lan and the others and said, “I’m sorry, Coach. I came over in a hurry today and didn’t bring anything with me. I hope you can forgive my sudden visit.”

“I know that you’re a good kid. Our family is not so particular about such etiquette. You were also distracted because you were too concerned about my safety. It’s fine, I don’t blame you. Come, stand up straight,” Xu Lan said gently.

Deng Fan only felt at ease when he saw that Xu Lan was not annoyed with him at all.

Qiao Mei sized up Deng Fan carefully. The last time, she had only taken a quick glance and did not really take a good look at him. As she looked at him now, she noted that he indeed had a very dignified bearing. It was no wonder that Xia He liked him so much.

If Xia He had not been blinded by love when she was younger, she might already have enough children to form a basketball team now!

“Come and sit down. Don’t just stand here. Xiao Fan, stay and have a meal with us later!” Liu Fen said warmly.

Deng Fan was about to say something when Xia He stopped him and said, “Second Aunt-in-law! Let’s eat at home! It’ll be a nice and lively gathering!”

“Good, good, good! I’ll go and start cooking now! Just wait for it!” Liu Fen went to the kitchen excitedly to prepare the dishes.

She thought very highly of Xia He’s current prospective partner. He looked so much more reliable than that Kong guy! One look and she could tell that he was low-key and easy to get along with. When would Xia Yuan be able to find a partner? She also wanted to welcome her child’s partner excitedly.

Xu Lan already knew Deng Fan well and there was nothing that she needed to ask him. Everyone just sat awkwardly in the living room and did not say a word.

“Elder Brother-in-law, are you busy with any projects recently? I heard from Elder Sister that you also do architectural design!” Qiao Mei said.

“Why are you calling him your elder brother-in-law! I’m not married to him yet!” Xia He said shyly.

“That’s not an issue! It’s only a matter of time! Don’t you think so, Mother~” Qiao Mei held Xu Lan’s hand and said sweetly.

“Yes, true. It all depends on what your elder sister wants!” Xu Lan threw the question back to Xia He. Since Xia He already intended to marry Deng Fan, she did not stop Qiao Mei from addressing Deng Fan as her brother-in-law.

Luo Yu could not bear to witness this scene and silently turned around to leave. Qiao Mei saw it and felt very sorry for Luo Yu. Deng Fan and Luo Yu had both waited and protected Xia He for so many years. In the end, it was Deng Fan’s dream which came to fruition while Luo Yu was left behind.

“I haven’t been doing much recently. I’ve just been busy with Xia He,” Deng Fan said honestly.

“Then… then can I ask Elder Brother-in-law for help? The price is negotiable!” Qiao Mei stared at Deng Fan with sparkling eyes, as if she could eat him up in the next second.

“Tell me, I’ll definitely help if I can. I can do it for free,” Deng Fan said honestly.

Qiao Mei quickly flapped her hands and said, “Even biological brothers must settle accounts clearly. We must be clear that these are separate matters. My family keeps detailed accounts of all our dealings with Eldest Brother! So there’s no exception for you as well!”

“Then let’s do what you say. Go ahead,” Deng Fan said with a smile.
