Chapter 475: The Show Begins

Qiao Mei and Xia He woke up before dawn to wash up. The two of them put on the same clothes and shoes and even combed their hair the same way.

“Qiao Mei, it’s not that I want to say something disheartening, but look at my figure. Is there any part that’s similar to yours?” Xia He looked at herself in the mirror with a feeling of inferiority.

As Xia He had been a dancer for a long time, she was especially strict with her diet. She rarely ate a lot. Although she was as slender as Qiao Mei, there was not a part of her body that was curvy or shapely as was common on women.

Xia He looked at her own chest indignantly. Initially, she did not think that there was anything bad about it, but now that she compared herself with Qiao Mei, she found her skinny figure unbearable to look at.

Qiao Mei also felt a little helpless about this matter. Ever since she got pregnant, her chest had become bigger and bigger and she always felt very embarrassed when she walked around with her bouncy bosom.

“Why don’t… why don’t I wrap it with a piece of cloth?” Qiao Mei looked at Xia He sincerely.

Xia He quickly shook her head and said, “Let me boost mine so that it looks bigger. Don’t make yours smaller. What if my nephew runs out of milk, hahahaha!”

Qiao Mei’s face flushed red. Xia Zhe had said a few naughty things to her last night and he had also teased her like this.

“Oh my, you’re so embarrassed! Hurry up and help me. Also, help me put on that fake stomach so that it looks more realistic,” Xia He said.

They only just made that fake stomach last night. It was just a cloth bag with some cotton inside. There was nothing very special about it.

“Isn’t it too difficult to swim when you have all these on you? These will be very heavy once they get soaked in water,” Qiao Mei said with a frown.

“It’s fine. This bit of weight is nothing. Back then, we used to practice with sandbags. Even diving is not a problem for me. Don’t worry about me,” Xia He said.

Seeing how confident Xia He was, Qiao Mei did not hesitate anymore. Once she was ready, she went out first. She and Qian’e had agreed to meet downstairs at 6 a.m.

“Elder sister, I’m leaving now. You be careful,” Qiao Mei whispered.

Xia He nodded and sent Qiao Mei out of the door before secretly observing her from the windowsill.

Qiao Mei slowly made her way downstairs. As soon as she went out, she saw the cold-faced Qian’e.

“Qiao Mei, let’s have a chat,” Qian’e said.

“I have nothing to say to you. I still have to go to the market now. Don’t block the way.” Qiao Mei turned to leave after saying that.

Qian’e took a big stride forward and blocked Qiao Mei’s path. She pointed at Qiao Mei and said, “Today, let’s talk about all our past grudges and settle this score properly.”

When the neighbors going to the market saw this, they whispered among themselves. Could it be that Qian’e had a change of character today? She could actually speak normally for once.

“Xia Zhe’s wife, don’t listen to her. Everything she says is fake!”

“That’s right, Xia Zhe’s wife. Come back quickly. Do you really believe what she said?”

“Listen to auntie and go home quickly. Don’t go with her.” Everyone was trying to persuade Qiao Mei to go home quickly.

Qian’e glared fiercely at the neighbors around her and shouted, “You nosy old fogies! You should take care of yourselves first! Figure out your own family matters first before you stick your noses in mine!”

“Hey! How can you say that!” An elderly woman was exasperated and wanted to go forward to argue with Qian’e.

Qiao Mei quickly stopped the elderly woman and said, “Auntie, don’t be angry. She just wants to talk to me and won’t hurt me.”

“I just want to clarify everything with you today. I want you to resolve everything that you owe me. Your Xia family is a big family and doesn’t lack money, right? You all played a part in me becoming like this. We have to settle these things properly,” Qian’e said.

At the mention of money, everyone understood what was going on. Everyone knew that the Qian family was short of money. In order to earn money, Qian’e worked very hard. Yet, in the end, Old Madam Qian still did not like her and she still had to suffer humiliation at home.

“Alright, then I’ll settle this score with you today. I, Qiao Mei, won’t owe you anything,” Qiao Mei said.

“Let’s talk as we walk. There are so many nosy people in this place. I’m afraid that they’ll say that I’m bullying you.” Qian’e glared at the people around her.

Qian’e walked in front and Qiao Mei followed closely behind her.
