Chapter 463 - I Like Aunt the Most

Xia Fang was overjoyed to see Qiao Mei the moment she got home. Nowadays, she found herself missing Qiao Mei so much on each day that she did not get to see Qiao Mei.

“Oh my, Mei Mei is here! I just got off work and don’t know about this! If I had known earlier, I would have gone out to buy some delicious food,” Xia Fang said.

Qiao Mei sat on the sofa and said with a smile, “Aunt, don’t get so busy. Come and sit down.”

Xia Fang placed her bag on the cabinet at the door and went to sit down beside Qiao Mei. She really liked Qiao Mei and wished that Qiao Mei could stay at her house every day. It would be great if she could have a daughter-in-law like Qiao Mei in the future!

“Why are you here today? I miss you so much!” Xia Fang said as she held Qiao Mei’s hand.

Qiao Mei pouted and asked playfully, “Then why don’t you come to the house to look for me, Aunt? Xia Zhe doesn’t let me go out and I miss you too!”

“You little girl, I’ve been busy at the hospital for the past two days. By the way, how have you been recently? Do you want to go to the hospital for a checkup? I heard from Eldest Brother that you had insomnia the other day?” Xia Fang asked as she looked at Qiao Mei nervously.

The day when something happened to the He family, Qiao Mei had simply found an excuse to answer Xia Mao’s query. She did not expect Xia Mao to remember it and even gave Xia Fang a call to ask her many questions about insomnia, causing Xia Fang to worry about it for a long time.

If not for the fact that her work had piled up during the long period that Kong Li stayed at her house for so long, when she had to hide from Kong Li and also deal with family matters, she would have gone to get Qiao Mei to do a proper checkup long ago.

“Well… I actually wanted to go and watch the commotion that day, so…” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Fang guiltily.

Xia Fang had raised her own children before, so she naturally knew how a kid would think. She reached out and tapped Qiao Mei’s forehead.

“You, you. When you go back and meet Eldest Brother, you have to tell him that you’re already feeling fine. Otherwise, he’ll still be worried. Although he’s usually very quiet, he actually remembers everything that happens at home,” Xia Fang said.

Qiao Mei nodded. She knew that Xia Mao treated her very well, and it was just that he was not good at expressing himself.

“Aunt, you only have eyes for Qiao Mei now. You don’t even like me anymore,” Xia He said with a bit of jealousy.

Of course, it was not true. She was just teasing Xia Fang about the fact that as soon as Xia Fang entered, she only had eyes for Qiao Mei and did not even seem to see her niece at all.

“Not at all. Of course I like our Xiao He the most!” Xia Fang said as she hugged Xia He.

“Hmph, that’s more like it,” Xia He said.

“Aunt, we’re actually here for something,” Qiao Mei said seriously as she looked at Xia Fang.

If she wanted to succeed in this matter, she still had to rely on Xia Fang’s help.

Qiao Mei briefly explained the entire matter to Xia Fang, causing her to be so upset that she grabbed the teacup on the coffee table and threw it on the ground.

“Outrageous! Does the He family not take our Xia family seriously! How can they even think of such a thing! Call Eldest Brother and Xiao Zhe now! Tell them not to let the He family off!” Xia Fang said angrily.

Qiao Mei and Xia He did not expect Xia Fang to have such a big reaction. Qiao Mei immediately went forward to calm Xia Fang down. Xia He poured Xia Fang a glass of water and went to the kitchen to get a broom to sweep up the broken pieces on the ground.

“Aunt, don’t be angry. I know this matter is indeed too much, but this is a good opportunity to take down the He family in one fell swoop!” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Fang still felt that this entire matter was too risky. If anything went wrong, the children would be gone!

“What you did is really too rash. I’m still worried. What if something happens? The He family is a small matter. What’s most important is you,” Xia Fang said.

“Don’t worry, Aunt. I definitely know my limits. I’ll be fine,” Qiao Mei said sweetly as she leaned on Xia Fang’s shoulder.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Have you told Xiao Zhe about this?” Xia Fang asked.

Qiao Mei shook her head. She did not dare to tell Xia Zhe about this. If she did, it would definitely make him angry.

“So you know it would make him angry?” Xia Fang said.

“That’s why I’m here to ask you for help, Aunt. I know you’re the nicest to me!” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Fang turned to look at Xia He and said sternly, “Are you also involved in this matter?”

Xia He smiled awkwardly and did not dare to say anything.
