Chapter 1685 Car License Plate
Everything that the Xu family had was given to them by Xu Lan. Part of it could even be considered to be from the Xia family. The Xu family members did nothing to earn it.
None of Xu Lan's siblings were capable people and they only knew how to bully others. Their partners were also useless and it was good enough if they did not cause trouble for the Xu family.
Xu Ju was rendered totally speechless. She left angrily with Xu Jiao and Xu Man without looking back. Before they left, Xu Man turned around and gave Qiao Mei a look. She would never forget that Qiao Mei had helped her today. If there was a chance in the future, she would definitely repay Qiao Mei.
"Were all of you… acting just now?" Xia He stood behind them and asked.
"Are you only getting it now!" Xia Wen said helplessly.
"You're the only one who believes that Mother wants to get a divorce. We don't know how to hint to you. But then again, with you stopping her, it makes it more believable to Xu Ju that Mother really wants a divorce," Qiao Mei said.
Xia He looked at them in frustration. Fortunately, it turned out to be a good ending so she did not want to pursue the matter anymore.
"Give me a secret signal next time! You made me so worried for nothing!" Xia He said.
"Fine, fine, fine. I'll definitely give you a hand gesture next time!" Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Xu Lan looked in the direction where Xu Ju and the others had left with some melancholy. She did not know if they would make things difficult for her mother when they returned home. Although they were all siblings born from the same parents, everyone had a different attitude towards their mother.
Every child was born different, so there was nothing strange about them behaving like this. These people were probably evil by nature.
"You guys should hurry home. It's harder to travel around once it gets dark," Xu Lan said as she looked at Qiao Mei.
Xia Wen drove Qiao Mei back. On the way, Xia Wen thought carefully about Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe and their future plans, and whether there was any other collaborations he could do with Qiao Mei's factory in the future.
"I'll get the government to give you a chauffeur. This way, it's more convenient for you to travel around," Xia Wen said after thinking for a long time.
"There's no need, Eldest Brother! I plan to drive around myself! It's better for me to keep a low profile for now. Only people like Grandfather and Father should get a chauffeur. I haven't really made any contributions, so it's really too high-profile to have a chauffeur," Qiao Mei said immediately.
"You want to drive?" Xia Wen asked in surprise.
"What's wrong? Can't I drive? Eldest Brother doesn't believe in my driving skills?" Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
In her other life, Qiao Mei had a driving license and was even a slightly famous racing car driver. It was not a problem for her to drive the jeep, but she had to pretend not to know how to drive and go for lessons, otherwise it would arouse suspicion.
In this era, most drivers were men. Women mainly liked to be passengers so that they could admire the scenery. It was really rare to see a woman like Qiao Mei who wanted to drive.
"It's not impossible. Xia Zhe is a very good driver. You can ask him to teach you," Xia Wen said.
"Alright, when I return to the military family compound, I'll ask him to teach me. Otherwise, if I need to use the car, I'll still have to wait until he's back. It'll be a cold day in hell when he has some free time! It's still most convenient for me to drive myself around," Qiao Mei said.
"Alright, leave the car with me for a week. I'll go and apply for a license plate for your car," Xia Wen said.
"Can I choose my own license plate number?" Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen excitedly.
Xia Wen was stunned for a moment before saying, "Of course. Why are you so excited though?"
In her other life, she had heard many people say that a nice license plate number was worth a lot of money! Moreover, the license plate number did not belong to a person forever. There was a certain time limit and after it expired, it would go up for bidding again.
"Then can I choose to have five eights?" Qiao Mei probed.
"Of course, but why do you like this number so much?" Xia Wen asked curiously.
"All business people want their business to be smooth and prosperous. Eight is a good number! It means fortune!" Qiao Mei said.
"Alright, then I'll get them to give you this license plate number," Xia Wen said.
"Can I get it on a permanent basis? I don't want to have to change the license plate again in a few years," Qiao Mei said.
"I'll try my best," Xia Wen said.
