Qiao Mei did not expect Tang Hui to be such a playful person in private. Tang Hui twirled happily in front of the mirror. Who would believe that this woman was already in her 40s!
“Oh right! I want to thank you! The paste in that small bottle of yours is really useful! I used it and the scars disappeared after two days! After I apply the rest of the paste on my face, I feel that I have fewer wrinkles!” Tang Hui held her face and said with a smile.
Qiao Mei had realized that Tang Hui looked much better than when she saw her in the past. She did not expect Tang Hui to be so bold as to use the paste on her face.
“I made it myself. There are only a few bottles and I have given them all to my family. It’s nothing great,” Qiao Mei said.
Tang Hui immediately understood what Qiao Mei meant. Qiao Mei was refusing to give her more!
“I hope we can become part of the same family in the future,” Tang Hui said.
In the study, Xia Jun sat down on a chair. Xia Guang stood nervously opposite Xia Jun. He lowered his head in fear and said, “Father I want to marry Tang Hui!”
“Alright, I understand,” Xia Jun said calmly.
Xia Guang looked up at Xia Jun in surprise and asked, “Father, are you saying yes? You don’t object?”
“Why should I object? That woman is not bad. It’s not a bad thing for you to marry her,” Xia Jun said.
Although Xia Jun did not like this scheming woman, it was Xia You and the others who plotted for her to enter Xia Guang’s life. Tang Hui had carefully maneuvered her way into Xia Guang’s heart step by step. Everyone could see this very clearly. Only a fool like Xia Guang would think that it was true love bestowed by the heavens!
“Thank you, Father! But I haven’t told her about this yet! Don’t ask to meet her yet. I’ll bring her to pay you a formal visit after she agrees to my proposal!” Xia Guang said excitedly.
“Just get lost! Before I go back on my word!” Xia Jun said impatiently.
“Father! You already agreed! You can’t go back on your word!” Xia Guang said.
“Get out! Don’t bother me! Ask Qiao Mei, Xia Wen and the others to come in!” Xia Jun said disdainfully.
Xia Guang hurriedly ran out to look for Qiao Mei and the others. Qiao Mei, Xia Wen, Xia He and Xia You walked into the study together. The four of them looked like they wanted to cheer for Xia Guang!
“Look at your lousy idea! Are you satisfied now! Your plan has succeeded!” Xia Jun said as he looked at the four of them dotingly.
“Grandfather! I was having a baby at that time! I wasn’t involved in this plan! Don’t accuse me wrongly!” Xia He said quickly.
“I’m not involved either! This is all done by Qiao Mei and Xia You!” Xia Wen also quickly tried to clear his name.
Qiao Mei and Xia You went forward and held Xia Jun’s arms on each side. Xia You said sweetly, “Grandfather I’m doing this for Third Uncle’s sake, aren’t I? Look at how Third Uncle’s house is in such a mess since he’s living alone! Miss Tang is a very nice person and the Tang family is a good family with a clean background. This is such a good match!”
“Grandfather, don’t worry! Everything is under control! Miss Tang is really not a bad person!” Qiao Mei said.
“Grandfather, don’t be angry. I’ve already asked around about Miss Tang. Whether it’s her knowledge, morals, family background or character, the feedback is all good. Her neighbors all sing praises of her and the students like her very much. She has a good reputation in the education field,” Xia Wen said.
Xia Jun tapped Qiao Mei’s head gently and said, “Since the few of you say so, then how can I reject your third uncle’s request?”
“That’s great! Thank you, Grandfather!” Xia You said happily.
Xia Jun gave them a few reminders and asked them to leave the room. After Qiao Mei stepped out, she frowned and wondered if she had made the right decision.
Xia Wen stood beside Qiao Mei and asked, “What’s wrong? Do you think Tang Hui shouldn’t join our family?”
“No, I just feel that such a decision might make Tang Hui suffer,” Qiao Mei said with a slight frown.
She had been to Tang Hui’s house and knew that Tang Hui liked rock music and also knew how to play the guitar. Yao Nian also found out that she was a kind-hearted person who sponsored many poor students. These were all facts and it was not as if Tang Hui had put up an act for the Xia family.
Why would a woman like Tang Hui like Xia Guang? Xia Guang did not do well in his career and he did not have any hobbies. His personality was not considered that likable either. The only thing going for him was that he came from a prominent family.
“She will make a decision that suits her. We’re not forcing her to do this. Don’t feel stressed,” Xia Wen advised.
“That’s right,” Qiao Mei lamented.
When no one was paying attention, Qiao Mei pulled Tang Hui to the backyard and said, “I talked to Grandfather just now. Third Uncle has told Grandfather that he wants to marry you.”
