Chapter 2280: Become a Member of the Xia Family

Editor: Atlas Studios

“The style of the bangles look so familiar. Do my mother and Eldest Aunt-in-law also have a pair?” Xia Wan said as she looked at the bangles.

“That’s right. When Third Brother got married the previous time, I had wondered why Mother did not give her the bangles. It seems that everything was predestined,” Liu Fen said.

Tang Hui finally felt relieved. She had been completely accepted by the Xia family. From now on, she was a part of the Xia family.

“Thank you, Father. I’ll take good care of this pair of bangles,” Tang Hui said.

“The Xia family is now a prominent family and there are many rules to follow. There are many things that you’re still not familiar with. Before the two of you head to the border, let your eldest and second sisters-in-law brief you about the rules,” Xia Jun said.

Actually, it was nothing big. As Tang Hui had never interacted with anyone who was part of the military, she did not know the rules of the military and did not know what she could and could not say and do. In order to prevent the whereabouts of the Xia family members from being leaked, they had to be extra careful in everything they did.

Qiao Mei had never received such “training” before. After all, Qiao Qiang was a soldier and the Xia family felt that Qiao Mei already knew all these things. In addition, in her other life, Qiao Mei was a criminal lawyer and no one knew more about the importance of confidentiality than her.

“It’s already so late. Everyone can rest here and go home tomorrow.” Xia Jun stood up and looked at Xia Guang before saying, “The two of you must get up early tomorrow to pay respects to your ancestors.”

“Pay respects to ancestors?” Tang Hui looked at Xia Guang in confusion.

“Most of the Xia family members died in the war. Old Master Xia grew up alone and always had regrets in this aspect. Whenever a Xia family member gets married, the couple has to go to the Xia family’s ancestral hall to pay respects to the ancestors the day after the wedding and let them know that there is a new member of the family,” Xu Lan explained nicely.

“I see!” Tang Hui said in realization.

The corners of Qiao Mei’s mouth twitched. She turned to look at Xia Wen and asked softly, “Why didn’t I have to go?”

“Xia Zhe got married secretly. Other than Uncle-in-law, no one else knows about it. Besides, you caused such a big commotion when you came. You bought over the old house and was pregnant and then gave birth to twins. As if anyone could still remember these things,” Xia Wen said as he looked at Qiao Mei in disdain.

Qiao Mei scratched her head in embarrassment. She did seem to be very showy back then…

Everyone returned to their rooms to rest. The next morning, Qiao Mei mysteriously asked Xia Wen to go to the study room.

“You want to ask me about the Huang family, right?” Xia Wen asked as soon as he entered.

“Are you immortal? How do you know what I want to ask?” Qiao Mei said.

“You’re so nosy, so how difficult can it be to guess? The Huang family is like a grasshopper after autumn. They don’t have much time left. You don’t have to worry,” Xia Wen said.

“Is this matter going to end just like that? Then the Huang family doesn’t seem to have many connections,” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.

Apart from Xia Guang being transferred out of the capital, Xia Xing was transferred to another job of the same rank. His new job was a little more tiring, but there was no real difference since Xia Xing was currently at the lowest rank in his job anyway. All the Xia family members had to start from the bottom and Xia Xing was no exception. It was just that Xia Xing did not seem to understand everyone’s good intentions.

“Who would offend us for the sake of the Huang family? Only a real fool will do that,” Xia Wen said.

“How long does the Huang family have?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Aunt can’t tell me, but I’ve asked around and found out that the Huang family members are in very poor health. I think they have two to three years left, at most five years,” Xia Wen lamented.

It was really a pity for them to lose their lives like that. However, the Huang family members’ pending deaths were not unjustified. It could be said that it was repayment for their past evil deeds.

“Have you heard from him recently?” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen and asked worriedly.

Xia Wen knew who the “him” Qiao Mei was talking about was. He shook his head and said, “I’m not sure. The level of confidentiality on news about him is very high now and they won’t inform his family unless it’s a matter of life and death. However… I heard from Xia Wan that he has an ambiguous relationship with another woman overseas. Is that true?”

“It’s just hype,” Qiao Mei said indifferently.

Xia Wen frowned and asked, “How can he let such a thing happen, even if it’s just hype! When he comes back, I’ll definitely make him go to Grandfather to receive his punishment!”

“Yes! He should be punished! Avenge me!” Qiao Mei recalled the photos in the newspaper again. At that time, she was very jealous! She could not forget about this slight and must make Xia Zhe suffer a little.

“Are you very worried about him? What happened when you were in Country M this time round?” Xia Wen acutely felt that something was wrong with Qiao Mei’s reaction.

“He found a… an ‘item’. It’s something very useful. When I left, he was still fighting for it. I don’t know if he’s doing well or what stage of the process he’s in now,” Qiao Mei said worriedly.

This “item” was a state secret, so it was better not to tell Xia Wen for the time being.
