Chapter 1650 - 1650 Not Interested in Xia Wen
1650 Not Interested in Xia Wen
Xia He and Xia Zhe told many embarrassing stories of Xia Wen when he was young, all of which happened before he married Tan Jing. After Xia Wen married Tan Jing, there were very few things that made him happy. He was either busy with work or needed to deal with the Tan family who often came to look for trouble. He aged a lot then.
“It’s a good thing that Eldest Brother got a divorce. Otherwise, his life will only get harder! But… what if the Mo family isn’t interested in our family?” Xia He said worriedly.
“Our family is the Xia family, a famous prominent family in the capital. The eldest young master is an important member of the government, the second young lady is a popular celebrity and the second young lady’s husband is a famous architect. The third young master has an outstanding military record and the third young master’s wife is a successful business owner. Why won’t they be interested in such a family?” Qiao Mei teased.
This was how it was always portrayed in the novels and television dramas which Qiao Mei had read and watched in her other life. As long as no one in the Xia family was muddle-headed enough to do any cruel and inhumane things, the Xia family would prosper for generations to come!
“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Although what you say is the truth… we have to open our eyes to reality! Our family is doing too well now and there are so many pairs of eyes on us! People are just waiting for something to happen to our family. The Mo family has been teachers and educators for generations, so they hate such troublesome matters the most. This has nothing to do with family background! Our family may look glorious from the outside, but what we have are a bunch of problems!” Xia He said with a slight frown.
Qiao Mei had never thought about all these. To her, Xia Wen was such a good person that she would not feel surprised even if a fairy descended to the mortal world to marry him.
However, what Xia He said was also the truth. Qiao Mei did not know anything about the Xia family in the past, but ever since she married into the family, there had been countless attacks on them, both open and covert. If Qiao Mei was just an ordinary person and did not have her ability, she and her children would have died many times over!
If the Mo family really rejected the Xia family’s marriage proposal because of these issues, it could only mean that Xia Wen and Mo Zhu were not fated to be together. There was no one to blame for this. There were so many nice girls in the world and there would definitely be someone who would treat Xia Wen sincerely.
“Alright. Eldest Brother is not even worried, so what are we so concerned about? There will definitely be someone who’s willing to go through thick and thin with him. Let’s just wait and see!” Qiao Mei said relaxedly.
Xia Zhe thought for a moment and said, “We’ve been saying so much here… but does Eldest Brother know about this?”
Qiao Mei and Xia He looked at each other. Xia Wen… Xia Wen might not know that the entire Mo family was coming to their house for dinner…
“There are advantages to not knowing anything… We’ll just inform him when the time comes!” Xia He said.
“No! You should go and tell Eldest Brother! Otherwise, it will be so awkward if Mo Zhu sees Xia Wen at work and mentions this event! If that happens, Mo Zhu will think that our family doesn’t respect them,” Qiao Mei said as she patted Xia Zhe.
“Alright, I’ll talk to Eldest Brother when he’s back from work,” Xia Zhe said as he looked at Qiao Mei dotingly.
Xia He could feel goosebumps all over her body. She and Deng Fan had never been so clingy. It seemed that she should let Deng Fan come and learn a few things from Xia Zhe. Deng Fan was such a blockhead! He was so boring!
After those human traffickers were dealt with, there were no more incidents of people coming round to harm Qiao Mei and the children. However, Qiao Mei’s nightmares seemed to have worsened and she felt listless every day.
“Let’s go and see a doctor. If this goes on, you will get tired out,” Xia Zhe said worriedly with a frown.
“Cough, cough… It’s fine. I know my own health well. I’m just traumatized by what happened and I’ll get better after a while. Just ask Sister Wan Wen to make more soup for me using calming herbs,” Qiao Mei said.
Xia Zhe went out to buy a lot of books on food ingredients and sat downstairs to read them day and night. He wanted to find recipes which could help Qiao Mei relieve her fatigue.
Qiao Mei slowly walked to the small garden in the backyard and took out a potted plant. Fortunately, when she planted these flowers back then, she had left a small ginseng seed here. After a few rounds of energy exchange, Qiao Mei’s entire body glowed with a faint golden light and she had also obtained many more 10,000-year-old ginseng seeds.
She realized that the ginseng juice refined from 1,000-year-old ginseng was golden in color, but the ginseng juice refined from 10,000-year-old ginseng had a tinge of blood-red color similar to human blood.
Qiao Mei had yet to have a chance to try out the effects of the 10,000-year-old ginseng juice. This was not something that could be drunk casually. For healthy people like them, it would be too nourishing and might even cause their hair to turn white overnight!
