1215 You Still Know How to Come Back
“I’ve never met someone so shameless! If I don’t give it to you, are you going to snatch it by force! It’s not as if you’re still related to our family now! Get lost!” Qiao Mei said furiously.
As Qiao Mei was worried about scaring the children again, she spoke very softly. In fact, her childish voice was not intimidating at all. When Xu Lan heard the cries coming from upstairs, she quickly ran up to take a look. Upon seeing Jiang Yi bullying Qiao Mei, she quickly stood in front of Qiao Mei.
“What are you doing! Get out now!” Xu Lan said angrily.
“But we haven’t done anything. What has it got to do with us if these two children cry? Isn’t it normal for children to cry and look for the adults when they wake up? You can’t blame everything on us,” Jiang Yi said without any shame.
Qiao Mei gritted her teeth in anger, but her priority was to coax the children first. The most important thing now was to settle the children down. Xu Lan grabbed Jiang Yi and Tan Yue and pulled them out of the door, leaving Feng Hua and Qiao Mei in the room to comfort the children.
Xu Lan chased Jiang Yi and Tan Yue out of the main door. She even called Luo Yu to come over and asked him to throw out all the things that the Tan family members had brought with them. Who would dare to use the Tan family’s things!
“Just leave! Don’t come again in the future! My son and your daughter are already divorced. If you don’t want this matter to blow up and don’t want your daughter to go to jail, then go home and stay there! Don’t come to our house again!” After saying that, Xu Lan slammed the door shut.
While on his way back, Xia Zhe caught sight of the two dejected people who had just been chased out. He quickly found a corner to hide and only came out after Luo Yu sent the two women out of the neighborhood entrance. When he finally came out from the corner, he gave Luo Yu a shock.
“Why are you hiding there!” Luo Yu said wearily.
“I’m hiding from the ‘god of plague’. Otherwise, am I supposed to present myself to her?” Xia Zhe said resignedly.
“Say, bring me along on your next mission. All these household issues have really broadened my horizons. I don’t even want to get married anymore! It feels like a headache,” Luo Yu said uncomfortably.
“What are you afraid of! If you win my elder sister’s heart, do you think my family will treat you badly?” Xia Zhe said jokingly.
“You and your eldest brother just like to make fun of me, right? It’s impossible between Xia He and I. I don’t have any other intentions. As long as she’s happy, I don’t care about anything else,” Luo Yu said.
Xia Zhe did not say anything and patted Luo Yu’s shoulder. He could not really understand Luo Yu’s feelings, but yet he seemed to understand a little. If he had met Qiao Mei earlier, he might have to wait bitterly for her as well.
Perhaps… or perhaps not… After all, when he met Qiao Mei, she was still a fatty weighing more than 200 pounds and who looked like a reincarnated bear! Even if he really met Qiao Mei much earlier, he would only treat her like a sister and would not think of asking her to marry him.
This actually showed how much hard work and effort Qiao Mei had put in for him. He must treat Qiao Mei even better and give her all the good things so that she could live blissfully for the rest of her life!
“Mother, why do you have such an expression on your face?” Xia Zhe looked at Xu Lan curiously. If Xu Lan had not tied her hair up, her hair would probably be standing on end from how angry Jiang Yi and Tan Yue made her feel!
“You still have the cheek to say that! Where did you run off to have fun! You aren’t even home when your wife, children and mother are being bullied! You’re only back after everything is over!” Xu Lan said angrily.
Xia Zhe got a shock and quickly ran upstairs. Xu Lan did not stop him. After all, she was fine. Qiao Mei was not in a good mood now, so Xia Zhe should go and take care of her.
Feng Hua and Qiao Mei finally coaxed Xia Fan and Xia Xing to sleep. Xia Zhe slowly lightened his footsteps and came to Qiao Mei’s side. Feng Hua eyed the situation and decided to carry the two children out to sleep in Xu Lan’s room, giving the couple enough space to talk.
“I’m sorry to come back too late,” Xia Zhe said apologetically.
“So you still know how to come back! But it’s also my fault… I’m the one who’s too curious and insists on letting them in,” Qiao Mei said as she lowered her head aggrievedly.
She still felt uneasy up till now. Her heart ached whenever she thought of the two children crying. She finally realized that she was no longer the young woman from before who could do whatever she wanted. She must always put the children’s safety first and not put them in danger because of her own curiosity.
