She must treasure such a thing well and include it in her daughter's dowry in the future! Although she was not sure if it was really from 500 years ago, it would definitely be worth a few million dollars in the future. If it was well-preserved, it might even be worth tens of millions.

"How much money did you spend? Don't tell me you bought me a choker with all the money that Kong Lu returned to you?" Qiao Mei asked in disbelief.

Xia He touched her head in embarrassment. Qiao Mei was right. Kong Lu sent her 4,000 dollars this time and the choker had cost her 3,600 dollars.

However, she was willing to spend any amount of money on Qiao Mei!

Qiao Mei was worth her efforts!

"It's fine. I'm making a lot of money now plus I don't have any family to support, so don't worry about me. I even bought two longevity locks for your babies," Xia He said proudly.

Actually, the longevity locks were a gift from the seller when she bought this choker. They were certainly not as valuable.

In the afternoon, all of them went to Xia Fang's hospital together. Xia Fang had worked overtime for a few days so that she could take a break today and do a proper checkup for Qiao Mei.

Xia He brought the others for their physical examinations. Xia Fang brought Qiao Mei to the obstetrics and gynecology department for a full-body checkup. The report came out very quickly. The babies were very healthy and she could give birth at full term without any negative impact.

"I'm relieved to see that you're fine. The two babies are doing very well," Xia Fang said.

Qiao Mei pretended to be curious and asked, "Then are my babies two boys or two girls?"

Xia Fang smiled and did not say anything. According to the rules, she could not release the information. Even if Xu Lan asked, she still would not say anything. No matter if the babies were boys or girls, they were the Xia family's treasures. Once they were born, the truth would be revealed.

The full medical report would only be out in a few days and Xia Fang would pass it to Qiao Mei when it was ready. Since it was rare for everyone to be gathered together today, they went to a nearby state-owned restaurant for a meal and then took a walk home together.

"Elder sister, can you stay with me tonight?" Qiao Mei said charmingly.

For some reason, she kept feeling a sense of emptiness in her heart recently. Although Qiao Qiang was just living nearby in the back part and Li Gui came to chat and take a stroll with her every day, she still felt uncomfortable.

It was as if something was missing. Perhaps her life was too dull.

"I'm not busy at work recently so I have time to accompany you, but you have to teach me how to cook!" Xia He said with a laugh.please visit panda-:)ɴᴏᴠᴇ1.co)m

"It's just cooking! No problem! The goal is just to produce edible food right?" Qiao Mei said jokingly.

Xia He really felt like teaching Qiao Mei a lesson for teasing her. However, Qiao Mei's body was already much clumsier than before. Everything could wait until after she gave birth.

"Sure, sure, sure. Whatever you say is fine." From afar, Xia He could see a group of people sitting at Qiao Mei's main door. They looked a little familiar and she asked curiously, "Look... who are those people at your door? Why are they all sitting at the door and not leaving?"

Qiao Mei had never seen these people before, but they looked like they were here to cause trouble.

"Mom, bring my younger siblings home through the street at the back," Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui went forward and grabbed Qiao Mei's sleeve. "Come home with me through the back door. What if they do something to you?"

"That's right, Auntie is right. Let's all use the back door," Xia He echoed.

Qiao Mei did not want to hide. Whatever needed to happen would happen. If these people were really here to cause trouble, they would have to confront one another head-on sooner or later.

"Let the children go back first. I'm fine. They won't do anything to me in broad daylight," Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui had no choice but to bring the four children home first. She would come back to look for Qiao Mei after she sent them back.

pαпdα Йᴏνê|,сòМ The Tan family members had been sitting outside Qiao Mei's house for the entire afternoon. The scorching sun was so hot that they almost fainted. They did not drink even a single drop of water because they wanted to extort a sum of money from Qiao Mei.

"Hey! Look and see if that pregnant woman is Qiao Mei!" Xu Xiang said excitedly as she pointed at Qiao Mei in the distance.

Tan Yue did not know Qiao Mei, but she had seen Xia He before so she confirmed it.

"That's right! It's Qiao Mei! We've finally waited till she's back!" Tan Yue said happily.

Tan Bai and Jiang Yi stood up and dusted themselves off as they looked expectantly at Qiao Mei who was walking towards them. Since Xia Wen did not want to help them, then they would solve the problem themselves!
