“You still can smile! Why didn’t you stop Qiao Mei from doing this! She’s still young and doesn’t have any sense of appropriateness. Are you also a child?” Xia Fang reprimanded.
“…I can’t persuade her either,” Xia He said.
Qiao Mei stood in front of Xia Fang and said, “Aunt, this has nothing to do with elder sister. She kept stopping me from going and even protected me.”
Xia Fang completely ignored what Qiao Mei said. This matter was just Xia He’s fault.
“Go and wait at one side. I’ll settle the score with you later! I’ll teach her a lesson first,” Xia Fang said as she stood up.
Xia He walked purposefully to one side and stood still. This was the Xia family’s usual method of punishment.
“Do you know what you have done wrong?” Xia Fang stood in front of Xia He with a ruler.
Xia He stretched out her hands and said warily, “I shouldn’t have allowed Qiao Mei to do anything dangerous. I didn’t tell Xia Zhe about this immediately. I knew that this was a very dangerous matter, but I still went with Qiao Mei.”
Xia Fang weighed the ruler in her hand. She just wanted to scare Xia He. During this period of time which Xia He spent running around with Qiao Mei lawlessly, she had almost forgotten her sense of propriety.
“I won’t hit you. Just stand here for a while and think about what your grandfather taught you.” After saying that, Xia Fang walked up to Qiao Mei.
“Your turn,” Xia Fang said as she stared at Qiao Mei sternly.
“I… um… Aunt, you just came back and haven’t eaten yet, right? I’ll go make you something to eat now. Aunt, please don’t be angry.” Qiao Mei slowly moved towards the kitchen.
Xia Fang sat on the sofa and sighed. She could not do anything about this Qiao Mei. If she scolded the girl, she would feel bad as well. There was really nothing she could do.
How could it be foolproof to let Qian’e kidnap Qiao Mei when the plan was to get rid of her babies? If anything should happen to the babies, it could easily affect Qiao Mei too. This was no joking matter.
Qiao Mei could not bear to see Xia Fang looking so dejected while sitting on the sofa. She knew that she had gone overboard in this matter, but if she did not do this, He Mei would continue to harm her.
The He family would feel uneasy as long as she was not eliminated. As long as she was safe and sound, He Mei would continue to harm her by using any means necessary. Qian’e was the one being made use of today, who would it be tomorrow?
She might as well catch them all in one fell swoop. That way, she could finally feel at ease.
Qiao Mei finished cooking and brought the food to the table. She quietly went to call Xia Fang.
“Aunt, we can eat now,” Qiao Mei said warily.
“Why should I eat? I’m already full of anger because of you. How can I eat anymore,” Xia Fang said sulkily.
“Aunt, I know I’m in the wrong. No matter what, let’s eat first. Don’t be angry. You can teach me a lesson after dinner,” Qiao Mei said.
Seeing how Qiao Mei acted cute in order to coax her, she could not stay angry for long and compromised her stand in the end.
“Xiao He, come and eat too,” Xia Fang said.
The three of them finished their meal without a word.
During this short period of time, Xia Fang had also thought it through. Even if she went to tell Xia Zhe about this matter, it would not change anything. Given that He Mei wanted to harm Qiao Mei no matter what, even without Qian’e, there would be someone else in the future. Instead of waiting for that to happen, it was better to make use of the current situation when they knew both themselves and the enemy, and got everyone to think of countermeasures to solve the problem together.
“The two of you, come over here. Let’s discuss what to do about this,” Xia Fang said sternly.
Qiao Mei and Xia He looked at each other and smiled. This meant that Xia Fang had agreed to their plan.
“What do you want me to do?” Xia Fang asked.
“Aunt, this is what I think. I would like to trouble you to arrange for an ambulance and some of our own people to stay in the operating theater and pretend to go and save me,” Qiao Mei said.
“This is not a difficult thing. Your Uncle Liu Yang is the hospital director and we can arrange all these things for you. However, you have to tell me your plan in detail. Otherwise, I won’t allow you to do it. I don’t believe that if I lock you up at your grandfather’s place every day, someone will dare to touch you,” Xia Fang said.
“We… Actually, Qian’e will be coming over later. I have asked her to come over tonight. She went to see He Mei earlier today,” Qiao Mei said.
Xia Fang nodded and said, “I can choose not to tell Eldest Brother and Eldest Sister-in-law about this, but you have to tell Xiao Zhe about this. Otherwise, he may do something too extreme when push comes to shove. Xiao He, you know your younger brother’s temper. If this really happens and he doesn’t know the truth, it’s very possible that he will kill everyone in the He family.”
