“You’re not at fault. It’s all my fault. If I was around, they wouldn’t dare to bully you. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. Don’t blame yourself,” Xia Zhe said as he looked at Qiao Mei with heartache.

“It’s fortunate that you were not around! I can tell that Tan Yue has improper feelings for you. As soon as she entered the room, she kept looking around for you. She was so disappointed when she didn’t see you and she looked at me as if she wanted to eat me up,” Qiao Mei said as she pretended to be angry.

“Really? I don’t know anything about that…” Xia Zhe said, feeling perplexed.

Xia Zhe indeed did not know much about this matter, but Xu Lan knew it very well. In fact, she was the one who had dealt with it!

It happened during the time when Xia Wen and Tan Jing got married. Xia Zhe had taken leave and returned home from the army. At the wedding ceremony, Tan Yue had immediately noticed Xia Zhe, who was the groom’s best man.

People liked to say that the best man and the bridesmaid at a wedding had a high probability of becoming the next couple. Due to that, Tan Yue had always believed that she would be able to marry Xia Zhe.

Not long after Tan Jing got married, Tan Yue would go to the Xia family residence every other day just to try and catch a glimpse of Xia Zhe. It did not take long for Xu Lan to see through Tan Yue’s intentions. Xu Lan scolded Tan Jing fiercely and asked her to settle this matter. Although Xu Lan did not know what happened after that, it seemed that Tan Jing had handled the matter quite well.

“You have such excessive romance luck! Of course you don’t know anything about this!” Qiao Mei said angrily.

Xia Zhe hurriedly went forward to hug Qiao Mei and said, “My dear wife~ Please forgive me. I’ll wear a mask whenever I have to meet people in the future! I definitely won’t let any woman fall for me!”

“Hmph,” Qiao Mei said daintily. She did not sound intimidating at all.

Actually, Xia Zhe had done quite well in this aspect. It was always those women who pestered him. He had never given any mixed signals to any woman, so there was no issue.

She was just angry at the fact that so many women clamored after Xia Zhe. However, they could do whatever they want. This only proved that Xia Zhe was a charming man. The popular man whom everyone liked was her husband!

Let those women be as jealous as they wanted!
Jiang Yi definitely felt indignant to be chased away like this. Along the way, she kept cursing the Xia family and the two children. Tan Yue walked beside her, carrying all the things and did not say a word, afraid that Jiang Yi would turn abusive if she said something wrong.

Tan Hu and Tan Bao were currently at home discussing with Tan Bo on how to split the “divine medicine” among them!

Tan Hu had his own house which had enough space for his small family to live in. However, it was different for Tan Bao. He had three children! Moreover, two of them were boys. Life would only get tougher when it was time for them to get married, so he must get a bigger share of the money!

“Dad, you’re the head of this family. Once Mom comes back with the ‘divine medicine’ and we sell it, how do you think we should split the money among us?” Tan Bao probed.

“These are matters which you guys should discuss among yourselves. I don’t care about such things,” Tan Bo said vaguely. He was not a fool and knew very well what these children were up to.

“Dad, you have to help me! Your two eldest grandsons are in my family! You can’t just look on if they can’t afford to get married! I can’t keep staying in the storeroom at home. You have to help me out!” Tan Bao cried out.

Tan Hu was unhappy when he heard this. They were both sons of the Tan family, so why should Tan Bao ask for more? If so, then he would behave like Tan Bao!

“Younger brother, what you just said is not right. It’s not our parents’ fault that you don’t have a house. Back when you got married, our parents also bought you a house. Didn’t you use it to fund your extramarital affair? Why are you lamenting here now?” Tan Hu said mockingly.

No matter how much Tan Hu liked to gamble, he knew very well that he could not use his house as collateral to pay off his debts. Even when the debt collectors came knocking on his door, he did not hand over the house. This was his home. Even if he ran out of options, he would at least have a place to provide shelter for his wife and children.

At least Tan Hu was a man who took care of his family, but Tan Bao was different. Back then, Tan Bao sold his house so that he could be with his mistress. In the end, that woman took all his money and he ended up with nothing!

Tan Bao was lucky enough to have married that silly girl, Wang Meng. Any other woman would have left him long ago!
