After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1601

1601 The Women in the Family Compound
“What’s wrong? Did he make you angry? Tell me about it. When he comes back, I’ll teach him a lesson and avenge you!” Qiao Mei said to Qian’e while hugging her arm.

“Eh, eh, eh~ Don’t you dote on your husband the most? Back then, you even fought with me for him. Now, you’re actually on my side. If Xia Zhe finds out, he might just kill me,” Qian’e asked with a smile.

“Impossible! Don’t worry, if Xia Zhe hits you, I definitely won’t let him off! Tell me, has that young master from the Han family made things difficult for you recently?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Not really, but he’s behaving a little abnormally. He often sends me flowers, buys me nice clothes and jewelry and even asks me out for dinner. When I ask him why, he says it’s because of work. He’s really a strange person. I really hate myself for signing a five-year contract with the Han Corporation on impulse,” Qian’e said, feeling frustrated.

“Can it be that he has fallen for you?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Fallen for me? Stop teasing me. Everyone in the capital knows about my past. If he likes me, he must be crazy!” Qian’e said as she rolled her eyes.

Qiao Mei smiled and did not say anything. When it came to feelings, only the person involved knew best. Moreover, Qian’e was so beautiful now, so there must be many men interested in her.

Qiao Mei still intended to find a good family for Qian’e to marry into so that she could live the rest of her life in peace. However, from the looks of it, no one seemed to be worthy of a girl as good as Qian’e. It might be better to wait a little longer.

Qian’e had brought many new toys for the two children, as well as the most fashionable clothes in the capital. It seemed that Qiao Mei need not have brought anything herself and should have just moved in with the children. In any case, everyone who came to visit had brought a lot of things with them, and these were the things that Qiao Mei did not bring because she found it too much of a hassle.

“Don’t buy things for the two of them next time. Kids grow up quickly and they won’t be able to wear these clothes after a month. It’s such a waste. Besides, I can’t deal with so many things. If Xia Zhe needs to relocate, it will be difficult for me to organize the move! You might as well give me money!” Qiao Mei complained as she packed up the gifts.

“Give you money? Has the famous Director Qiao run short of money?” Qian’e looked at Qiao Mei teasingly.

“Don’t tell anyone! Keep a low profile! The current factory directors of Osmanthus Food Factory are you and my mother. Don’t tell anyone that the business is mine! Otherwise, it will be very difficult for me to survive here!” Qiao Mei reminded her.

“I know, I know! You have already said this so many times! Anyone with such an identity probably can’t wait to let the entire world know, but you actually want to hide it. Aren’t you afraid of being bullied by the women in this courtyard!” Qian’e said.

“Do you think I’ll get bullied? Look at me! How can anyone bully me! You were defeated by me in the past too!” Qiao Mei said smugly.

“You think so? Hardly! In the past, you either lived in the village where most people are related to one another or a siheyuan courtyard house in the capital without anyone disturbing you. How can you have had any interactions with the type of women who live in a family compound? I grew up in a similar compound so I know best what they’re like,” Qian’e said with a hint of disdain.

“Then tell me more. I’ll learn from your experiences!” Qiao Mei said as she looked at Qian’e earnestly.

Qian’e had previously lived in a compound and based on her experience, she felt that the women could be classified into a few types. There were the older women who liked to gossip behind other people’s backs and go around asking about other people’s affairs, as if they wanted to see the world in chaos. Such women were the most despicable. Even if you confronted them, they would not admit it and would use their age as a shield to create even more trouble.

Then there were the women who were very cold and did not care about anyone or anything. They showed no curiosity about anything and did not ask around for any information. Even if there were people who wanted to be friends with them, they would be ignored. Such women were considered the nicer ones.

There were also the women who were very friendly and amiable and liked to act as mediators. They were familiar with all the neighbors and would greet everyone they saw. Some of these women were really warm-hearted, but there were also those who hid their treacherous intentions behind a smile.
