After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1718 - 1718 Chase Out of the Door



1718 Chase Out of the Door

If Xu Jiao had not talked back to Xu Kang and spoken in a friendly manner earlier, perhaps Qiao Mei would be willing to let them take a look at those clothes she made recently.

However, in this situation, why would Qiao Mei still help them?

“My clothes are all made of rough fabric and the styles are similar to those sold in the stores. It’s not worth your time to specially come and take a look. If you have time, you should go to the mall more often to look around. The styles there are much better than what I have here. In that case, I won’t keep you here any longer,” Qiao Mei said coldly.

Xu Jiao stood rooted to the spot, not knowing what to do. She had come today to help Shi Rui shore up her position in the Xia family, but she did not expect to have messed it up instead. When she went home later, Xu Ju would definitely skin her alive! She could not go back empty-handed!

Shi Rui was also trying her best to think of a way to make Qiao Mei let them stay. She racked her brains and finally said, “Since we’re already here, why don’t you just let us take a look? Treat it as an eye-opener for us.”

Any other ordinary person would definitely try to turn a big issue into a small one out of consideration for the relationship between the family elders and out of respect for their reputations.

However, Qiao Mei was a person who was not afraid of anything. To her, it was nothing to spoil the relationship between Xu Ju and Xu Lan. Perhaps Xu Lan herself could not wait to get away from such a sister!

Qiao Mei was now like the Xia family’s treasure. Even Xia Jun doted on her very much. So long as she wanted something, Xia Jun would definitely get it for her. Therefore, even if she threw a tantrum, it would not be a big thing in their eyes.

“Sister Xu, send the guests off.” After saying that, Qiao Mei returned to her room to rest. Xu Kang forcefully chased Xu Jiao and Shi Rui out of the house.

Shi Rui stood at the entrance of Qiao Mei’s house and sighed. She would never have dreamed that the weakest link today was not her, but Xu Jiao. She also did not expect Qiao Mei to be such a heartless person in private.

Not long after, Xia Wen came to the house in a rush. He stood at the door in a daze for a long time, wondering if he should enter.

Recently, Qiao Mei had planted vines all around the outer wall. Every movement around the courtyard house was within her line of sight. She noticed Xia Wen’s abnormal behavior the moment he arrived.

However, she did not know what Xia Wen was so worried about. Could it be that something had happened to their field for the test crops?

Qiao Mei waited quietly until Xia Wen mustered his courage to knock on the door. Only then did Qiao Mei ask Sister Xu to open the door to let Xia Wen in.

“Eldest Brother, why do you have time to come over?” Qiao Mei walked to the door and asked.

“I passed by after work and thought of coming to see the children. I also wanted to talk to Xia Zhe. Where is he?” Xia Wen said evasively.

“He’s exercising with my grandfather in the backyard. You can go there directly to look for him. The children are in the room,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Wen first went to the room to play with the children for a while before going to the backyard to look for Xia Zhe. Qiao Mei sat on the rocking chair and waited anxiously. She was fully able to eavesdrop on the conversation between Xia Wen and Xia Zhe, but she did not want to do that. Even if they were family members, she must still give them some space.

“Hello, Grandpa Qiao. It’s been a long time since we last met. How have you been recently?” Xia Wen walked to Qiao Qiang’s side and asked politely.

“Not bad! How’s your grandfather? Has that old stubborn ox mentioned me recently?” Qiao Qiang asked disdainfully.

“My grandfather is feeling very unhappy at home. He wants to come and see you, but he can’t bring himself to do it,” Xia Wen said with a laugh.

Qiao Qiang snorted coldly and said, “I’ll give this old thing a call later.”

“Grandpa Qiao, I have to borrow my younger brother for a while. I have something to tell him,” Xia Wen said.

Qiao Qiang waved his hand and said, “Go, go! You can borrow him for as long as you want!”

Xia Wen brought Xia Zhe to the room which Xia He used to stay in. The two of them closed the door with very serious expressions on their faces. Neither of them was willing to speak first, as if they knew what the other one wanted to say.

“Hey… why didn’t you tell the family when this mission was confirmed?” Xia Wen asked Xia Zhe sternly.

“The mission is top secret. I can’t talk about it and I can’t reject it,” Xia Zhe lowered his head and said in a muffled voice.

People in his position could only accept orders and did not have a chance to pick and choose what they wanted to do. The higher-ups had told Xia Zhe to consider it carefully, but it was all for show. Even if Xia Zhe was unwilling, he still had to go.

“Is this mission very dangerous?” Xia Wen asked with a slight frown.

He had been in the army before and knew that Xia Zhe’s highly confidential mission this time round could be a very difficult one.
