“Let’s wait and see. Maybe it’s Tang Hui who insists on coming? Third Uncle is such a soft-hearted person. Perhaps she influenced his decision,” Xia He guessed.

Qiao Mei felt that something must have happened to Xia Guang and Tang Hui. Otherwise, with Tang Hui’s calculative nature, she would not do such a rash thing.

“I’ll go to the main entrance to take a look. Don’t go out. You must avoid the wind,” Qiao Mei said as she patted Xia He’s shoulder.

Xia He went to the bookshelf and took down the binoculars and walkie-talkie. She leaned against the window to act as a lookout. Qiao Mei had hired some bodyguards for this villa. Although this villa was in a good location, it was close to the mountain and river and wild beasts might come down from the mountain. The bodyguards were there to protect the safety of the family members.

The landline phone and pagers were not convenient modes of communication. When Qiao Mei returned from Country M, she had bought a lot of walkie-talkies with her. All the Xia family members lived close to one another now, so each family could communicate with the rest directly by using the walkie-talkies.

Qiao Mei rode her bicycle to the entrance of the villa. When Xia Guang saw Qiao Mei, it was as if he had seen his savior. He immediately said, “Xiao Zhe’s wife, you have come at the right time! Help us think of a way!”

“What’s wrong?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Guang briefly explained what happened earlier tonight. He looked at Qiao Mei and begged, “Please help me. Can you just say that you’re the one who invited Miss Tang here?”

Qiao Mei said without any hesitation, “No.”

Xia Guang immediately felt a little vexed. He had forgotten that Qiao Mei was a vengeful person. Zhou Hua and Xia Xing had done so much to her and his previous attitude towards her was not too good either. If he was in her position, he would choose not to help too.

Tang Hui stood beside Xia Guang and felt a little embarrassed. Things had happened too suddenly today and she had not thought of a way to deal with it. Now that she was facing Qiao Mei, she felt even more flustered!

“I’ve said before that I owe you a favor. Just take it that I’m returning it to you,” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Tang Hui.

“Thank you,” Tang Hui said.

Xia Guang stood rooted to the spot confusedly. He did not know that Tang Hui and Qiao Mei had prior contact with each other. Tang Hui quickly explained, “Some time back, a smart kid had turned up at Qiao Mei’s factory. Her parents were murderers and she could not survive alone, so she went to Qiao Mei’s factory to apply for a job. After Qiao Mei heard that many schools did not want to take in this kid, Qiao Mei asked me to be her tutor. This kid has managed to make it to university.”

“Isn’t Qiao Mei the top scorer of the college entrance examination? Why doesn’t she teach the kid herself?” Xia Guang asked curiously.

Tang Hui was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to continue with the lie. Qiao Mei sighed and said, “Third Uncle, I’m busy with all my businesses.”

“That’s not what I mean! I’m just curious ” Xia Guang muttered softly.

Qiao Mei knew that Xia Guang did not have any ill intentions. He was just a very direct person. To put it nicely, he was being straightforward. To put it bluntly, his EQ was too low! He did not know how to adapt to situations! No wonder after so many years, no matter how much Xia Jun doted on him, he still did very badly in life.

“Third Uncle, you still have to explain this matter to Grandfather yourself. Grandfather is not a fool and he will definitely be able to tell what’s going on. I can put on an act but I will need you to do the rest yourself,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Guang pondered for a moment and seemed to have made up his mind. He held Tang Hui’s hand and said, “Alright! I’ll explain to Father myself!”

Qiao Mei brought them into the house. Everyone was making dumplings in the living room. Tang Hui’s appearance attracted everyone’s attention and they all stopped what they were doing.

“This is my friend, Miss Tang. I have invited her here for a meal. Does anyone mind?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.

“Hello, everyone.” Tang Hui looked at everyone and greeted them openly.

Other than Xia Zheng’s family, who did not know who Tang Hui was, the rest of the Xia family members were all observing Xia Jun’s reaction. They did not dare to make a sound.

Xia Guang looked at Xia Jun and said, “Father, I have something to ask you.”

“Alright, let’s go upstairs.” After Xia Jun finished speaking, the two of them went to the study for a chat. Qiao Mei brought Tang Hui to change into a new set of clothes. After the fight just now, her clothes were covered in dust.

“I originally only wanted to put on a show of being bullied so that your third uncle would completely give up on Zhou Hua. Who would have thought that your third uncle was around when this incident happened today and that it would end up like this,” Tang Hui said helplessly.

“But I think Third Uncle cares about you,” Qiao Mei said as she searched for the clothes.

“It’s just a coincidence. In that situation just now, any man would have given up on Zhou Hua. Surely my weak and delicate appearance is deeply engraved in Xia Guang’s heart ” Tang Hui stood in front of the mirror and said happily.
