After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1231

1231 Adoptive Mother Has a Bigger Say
“I don’t think you need to worry about this matter. Your husband likes you for who you are. Moreover, he is not the one who has any issue with your behavior. Why should you care about what others think?” Qiao Mei said.

Xia You suddenly looked enlightened. She clapped her hands and said, “You’re so right! I shouldn’t care about what others think! It’s not like I’m in the wrong!”

Shao Yin stood at the side and watched as the women carried on with their conversation. She kept staring at Qiao Mei to size her up. At first, she thought that Qiao Mei was only a pretty face, meant to be put on show like a beautiful “flower vase”, and that the Xia family allowed her to marry into the family so that it made them look good. Who would not like having a beautiful woman around?

However, from the looks of it, that did not seem to be the case at all. Qiao Mei was good with her hands, good cook and was even a natural beauty. She even gave birth to a son and a daughter for the Xia family. She was like a female lead in a television drama! This made Shao Yin so envious.

“I would also like to get closer to all of you,” Shao Yin said suddenly.

One second earlier, everyone was still very lively, but in the next second, everyone fell silent. Liu Fen smiled awkwardly at Shao Yin and said, “Um… you can come round often after you marry Xia Xing. We’ll be a family then.”

“That’s true! Besides, Xia Xing is coming to work in the capital! I’ll also come over with him to live in the capital!” Shao Yin said innocently.

“What! Coming to the capital! Who told you that!” Xu Lan said in surprise.

“Xia Xing himself! He has already submitted his application. He should be able to start work here next month,” Shao Yin said.

At this moment, the people at Xia Jun’s place were also discussing the same matter. Everyone was sitting in the living room and the atmosphere was very somber. Xia Jun’s long face was almost hitting the floor! He was already feeling vexed today, but these people still wanted to annoy him even more.

“Uncle Xia, you’re the biological grandfather of these children and I’ve looked after them for a long time. Everything I do is for their benefit. I’m here today to discuss with you something related to Xia Xing,” Zhou Luo said.

“Let me know what you have in mind. If Xia Xing needs any help from the family, we’ll try our best to help,” Xia Jun said.

“Our Xia Xing is currently preparing for his wedding and he wants to hold the ceremony in the capital. I wonder if you can help us out. Our Zhou family has always lived somewhere else, so we’re naturally not as familiar with the capital as all of you. After all, you have lived here for a long time,” Zhou Luo said tentatively.

Xia Jun said with a long face, “If he’s getting married, then his partner should at least come and meet the family. Is he going to get married without letting us know anything?”

“That girl is also here today. Isn’t this…” Zhou Luo looked around but did not see Shao Yin. She quickly turned to look at Xia Xing, but he also did not know where Shao Yin had gone.

Zhou Luo hurriedly got up and walked outside. She asked the chauffeurs who drove them here, but they all said that they had not seen Shao Yin. This made her so anxious that she almost wanted to rush out to look for Shao Yin!

“Miss Shao Yin is at the eldest young madam’s house now. The chauffeur is already on the way to pick her up and will be soon,” the helper said patiently.

Zhou Luo looked unhappy. She had wanted to use the two kids to force Xia Jun to give them what they wanted! Now that the girl was not around, she could not go too overboard with what she said. Otherwise, if Xia Jun rejected her right away, she would have a much lesser chance of getting what she wanted.

“It’s good that the kid is safe. You can continue with what you want to say,” Xia Jun said.

“It’s good to know that Uncle Xia is so magnanimous and doesn’t get offended by the antics of the younger generation. Let me just come right out and say what I think. Xiao Xing will be returning to work in the capital next month and that girl will also come along with him. They haven’t found a place to stay yet. Do you think you can allow him and Shao Yin to stay at Xia Zhe’s place?” Zhou Luo said bluntly.

“Stay at Xia Zhe’s place? Why?” Xia Jun asked unhappily.
He could tell at a glance that the Zhou family was eyeing the old house again. Before Zhou Hua divorced Xia Guang, she always had this issue in mind. Zhou Luo was obviously thinking about the same thing now. It was obvious that Zhou Hua had told Zhou Luo something inappropriate and Zhou Luo was now here to fight for a share of the family assets for Xia Xing, Xia Lu and Xia Yan!

Xia Guang had a permanent posting in the border province, and now that he had divorced Zhou Hua, the couple did not seem to care about the future of the three children anymore. Zhou Luo wondered what would happen to them if she did not speak up for them?

By right, she did not have any say. After all, her surname was Zhou and she was not the children’s biological mother. However, being the adoptive mother, she had an even greater say than even the biological mother. The Xia family would have to let her voice her opinion!
