“Good, good, good! You must come!” Director Xu said with a smile.
Xia Wen quickly finished his meal and returned to his office with the piece of paper from Director Xu. Time passed quickly when dealing with official matters. After work, he asked the chauffeur to drive to Li Gui’s house.
Coincidentally, Li Gui was about to go out to sell her goods and Xia Wen quickly stopped her.
“Auntie, don’t go to work today. I have something to tell you,” Xia Wen said with a serious expression.
!!Li Gui put down the basket in a daze and led Xia Wen back to the living room. Nowadays, Qiao Mei and Xia He would come to her house every day after they woke up. They would have their meals and then stay here to watch over the four children.
Xia He was also highly educated. She could still tutor these children when it came to the simple elementary school curriculum. Once the home tutor was able to start work, she would be completely liberated.
“Eldest brother? Why are you free to come here?” Xia He looked in surprise at Xia Wen, who had followed Li Gui into the house.
Xia Wen shook the piece of paper in his hand and said, “I’m not here to see you. I have something important to tell Auntie.”
Xia Wen handed the paper to Qiao Mei. It was stated that the girl was about 18 years old, had dark skin, an obvious accent, wore her hair in two braids, had rough hands and was dressed in very old-fashioned clothes. She was about 155 centimeters tall.
With all these characteristics, even if Xia Wen did not say anything, Qiao Mei already knew who the person was.
“What’s this? Why is it with eldest brother?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“I had previously arranged for some people to take care of Auntie at the cinema. This is a note from the person in charge there. He said that someone went to file a report against Auntie last night and said some very serious things. That person did not know who it was, so he wrote down a description of the person’s appearance and handed it to me. I’m just here to ask you if there’s anyone you suspect,” Xia Wen said.
Ever since Qiao Mei came to the capital, she had completely forgotten about Qiao Yu. It was not that she had let the girl off, but she really did not remember that such a person existed.
She had thought that as long as Qiao Yu did not cause trouble, they could all just live and let live and give her a chance of survival. Whether Qiao Yu lived or died would depend on her own luck. She did not expect Qiao Yu to still not know her own place.
“Then will this matter affect you, Xiao Wen?” Li Gui asked worriedly.
She was not worried that anything would happen to her. At most, she would be arrested and locked up for a few days or fined a lot of money. She would not be in much danger.
However, it was different for Xia Wen. He was now an important staff in the government service. If others found out that he had played favorites, he would lose his job! At that time, he would not even have a job and this matter might even implicate the Xia family.
This must not happen!
If there was really no other way, she could bring these children back to Foshan Village. At most, she would just tolerate Qiao Zhuang’s family. No matter what, they would not dare to kill anyone.
If she returned to the village, she would still be able to earn money and would not cause trouble for Qiao Mei or the Xia family. Coming here this time, she had seen clearly for herself the kind of people the Xia family members were. They all liked Qiao Mei very much, so even if she was not in the capital to take care of Qiao Mei, she would still feel at ease.
“I’m fine. Those people are very tight-lipped and this person was scared away. There’s no issue,” Xia Wen said with a smile.
“We can think about this matter later. It’s not a good thing to rashly go and look for Qiao Yu now. It won’t be good if she retaliates,” Qiao Mei said.
Li Gui also chimed in, “I’ll just set up shop earlier these few days and come back early. I’ll try my best not to go to the cinema. As long as I don’t go too often, she won’t have anything on me!”
The more Xia He thought about it, the angrier she became. Not only did this woman want to destroy Qiao Mei’s family and seduce her younger brother, but she had even coveted her eldest brother as well. They had found a job for her out of kindness, but she still refused to live honestly.
Even if she raised a dog, it would still be thousands of times better than Qiao Yu!
“Why is this woman so cheap? She’s really like a lingering spirit. Isn’t the work in the factory tiring enough!” Xia He said with a pout.
Xia Wen gave Xia He a fierce glare. How could a girl say such things every day? She was getting more and more impudent after getting a divorce.
Xia He quickly lowered her head. In her life, she was most afraid of three people.
