Kong Lu would still occasionally pass by Xia He’s house to take a look on his way to or from work. However, he did not do anything except stare at the house. The road outside did not belong to the Xia family and did not have Xia He’s name on it. So long as Kong Lu did not do anything drastic, Xia He just let him do whatever he wanted. As long as it did not affect Deng Fan, she could tolerate anything.
However, her blissful days did not last long. One day, Old Madam Kong and Kong Li tailed Kong Lu to find out where Xia He lived. The two of them thought that Kong Lu had been going to the military compound district to look for Xia He, but they did not expect him to take a very different route. Xia He had moved to a new house!
“Look at that! What a big house! I wonder how much she paid for it!” Kong Li said excitedly as she touched the outer wall of Xia He’s house.
“I remember that Xia He’s younger brother and sister-in-law also lived in a big house like this! It’s big enough to accommodate our entire family!” Old Madam Kong said as she looked greedily at the main door.
It was all her fault for being so blind. She did not expect Xia He to be so capable. If she had known that Xia He was so rich, she would not have allowed Xia He and Kong Lu to get a divorce even if she had to be Xia He’s slave for a period of time!
“Mom, how can we get in? My elder brother isn’t around, so it’s probably not nice for us to barge in,” Kong Li said.
“Why are you exactly like that good-for-nothing brother of yours! What a useless thing! Your brother didn’t bother to listen to me at all. He can’t bring himself to beg Xia He to come back to him. I’ll go and do what he doesn’t dare to do!” Old Madam Kong rushed to the main door of Xia He’s house without another word.
She threw herself onto the steps and shouted, “Oh my! Xia He is really heartless! I was her mother-in-law and she forgot about me so quickly! How can you do that to my son!”
When the neighbors heard the commotion, they opened their doors and windows to take a look. They did not want to miss out on any of the Xia family’s dramas. Xia He was very annoyed by the noise Old Madam Kong was making outside. Luo Yu went into the living room and asked, “She’s shouting so loudly outside. Do you want to let her in?”
“No!” Xia He said angrily.
Luo Yu went to the door and said to Old Madam Kong, “You should go. 1 won’t let you in.”
“There’s no justice in this world! How can this woman be so vicious! You actually reject entry to your mother-in-law! Is this something a human can do?” Old Madam Kong shouted.
When Qiao Mei heard the news, she rushed over. She was also a little surprised to see Old Madam Kong kicking up a big fuss at the main door, but then again, this was definitely something that the old woman was capable of.
She ignored Old Madam Kong and wanted to sidestep her and enter the house to look for Xia He. Old Madam Kong immediately grabbed Qiao Mei!s ankle and said, “You can’t go in! Get Xia He to come and see me! Get her to come and see me!”
Qiao Mei gently broke free from Old Madam Kongs grip and Old Madam Kong fell backward and tumbled onto the road. Anyone would think that Qiao Mei had used a lot of strength to get away from the old woman!
“Murder! The Xia family wants to commit murder! You’re trying to kill an old woman! Everyone, come and take a look! Please be the judge of this! The Xia family is the one who’s unreasonable and yet they want to kill me!” Old Madam Kong said as she lay on the road.
Seeing this, Kong Li hurried over to Old Madam Kongs side and said, “I’m going to tell all the reporters! Petition to put your name on a poster! I’m going to tell them that you bully the common people!’
Xia He rolled up her sleeves and was about to rush out from the living room to argue with Old Madam Kong. Qiao Mei gave Xia He a look and indicated that Xia He should turn back. She turned around and looked at Old Madam Kong, saying, “Stop yelling and come in with me.”
Old Madam Kong immediately got up and patted the dirt off herself. She and Kong Li followed closely behind Qiao Mei. As soon as they entered, they were stunned by the design of the house. They had never seen such a nice house before.
“Look at how grand this house is. Your second brother can take this room, your third brother can take that room, and I’ll take this one! You can take that one!” Old Madam Kong grabbed Kong Li t s hand and muttered excitedly.
“Sure!” Kong Li said.
Qiao Mei and Xia He sat in the master seats in the living room. The two of them looked impatiently at the two people standing in the middle of the living room. Old Madam Kong tried to take the opportunity to kneel on the ground as she said aggrievedly, “Xia He! It’s all my fault! What happened between you and Kong Lu was all a misunderstanding. The biggest problem here is me. I caused the two of you to split up! I’m so sorry!’
Luo Yu reacted quickly and pulled Old Madam Kong up. Old Madam Kong had never intended to kneel for long. She just wanted to put on a show for Xia He..
