“That’s about right. We have to deal with this matter as soon as possible. My guess is that Du Huai is still in the country. If he goes overseas with the dirty money, we won’t be able to catch him,” Xia He said.

“Don’t worry, I’ll get Xia Zhe to settle the matter over there as soon as possible,” Qiao Mei said.

“Don’t tell Eldest Sister-in-law about this. She’s weak now and can’t be agitated. Uncle Mo is already very annoyed with Eldest Brother. I’m worried that Eldest Brother will get scolded again if he needs to come and handle my issues,” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei went forward and held Xia He’s hand, saying, “Don’t worry, leave these things to me. You just rest well in the hospital.”

At this moment, she really wanted to become someone who had connections in the entire capital. In the past, she only wanted to work hard, cultivate her flowers and plants, educate the children well and live a leisurely life every day. However, the more possessions she had, the more responsibilities she had to bear. She did not want to continue having to rely on the Xia family.

It looked like she must work harder to have her own connections as soon as possible. Only then could she share the burden in the family and also be able to protect the children well.

With Xia Fang taking care of Xia He in the hospital, Qiao Mei went home and told Xia Lan and Xia Mao about Xia He’s situation. She had originally wanted to hide it from them, but now that news of this matter had spread like wildfire in the city, she could not hide it even if she wanted to!

“Back then, I already said that we must eliminate the root of the problem! What did you tell me then! Those assholes from the Song and Du families! Previously, they targeted your third brother’s family, and now they’re bullying my daughter! Are they going to bully my eldest son after this! I don’t care! You have to deal with this matter seriously! You can’t take it lightly!” Xu Lan said to Xia Mao agitatedly.

“I know. I won’t let anyone related to this matter get away scot-free,” Xia Mao said sternly.

Deng Fan sat in the corner in silence, looking like he had something on his mind. He was Xia He’s husband but he could not do anything in this situation and he felt very vexed. Qiao Mei patted Xia Zhe’s hand and asked him to pay more attention to Deng Fan’s mood. She did not want Deng Fan to misunderstand Xia He because of this matter nor to blame himself too much.

After talking to the family, Qiao Mei went home. Qian’e was already waiting for her in the siheyuan courtyard house. When Qiao Mei saw Qian’e, she immediately said, “Don’t tell me you want to ask me about Xia He too.”

“I already heard about it. Yao Nian told me. I’m here to see if you’re alright,” Qian’e said.

“There’s nothing I need to face. I’m fine. I’ll leave the rest of the issue to my father-in-law and Xia Zhe. Let’s see how they deal with it,” Qiao Mei said wearily.

Tonight, Xia Zhe and Xia Mao had headed back to the military base to deploy their staff to investigate the Song and Du families. This was the first time Qiao Mei and Qian’e slept together on the same bed. Qian’e was so excited that she could not fall asleep.

Qiao Mei looked at her in puzzlement and asked, “There’s something strange about you tonight. Do you have something to tell me?”

“I I really have something to tell you.” Qian’e sat up in embarrassment and said shyly, “I think I’m getting married.”

Qiao Mei was already feeling sleepy but she immediately became wide awake when she heard that. She quickly sat up and stared at Qian’e as she asked, “When did this happen? Why don’t I know anything about it? Why are you only telling me now! Which man is so lucky to be able to catch your eye?”

“It’s no one special. It’s just Han Chen from Han Corporation,” Qian’e said softly.

“Who? Han Chen! Why would you fall for him?” Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e in shock.

Han Chen could be considered a well-known rich young master in the capital. There had never been any rumors about him and he had never dated any woman. However, he was quite eccentric and many people could not stand his bad temper. Even Qian’e did not have a good impression of him when she first met him.

Furthermore, the Han family imposed a strict upbringing on their offspring and Han Chen’s mother was very particular about family status. Han Chen’s mother did not even find those daughters from the prominent families acceptable to become her daughter-in-law, so how could Qian’e marry into the Han family smoothly?

Qiao Mei was only just feeling more settled after everything that happened but not anymore. It seemed that misfortune would never come singly. She looked at Qian’e and asked, “Has Han Chen proposed to you?”

“Yes, but I haven’t decided if I should say yes. His mother doesn’t like me,” Qian’e said, with a feeling of inferiority.
