After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1648
1648 Protect the Baby
Zhao Kun released Zhao Fei and Ding Xiang. Qiao Mei and Xia He helped Zhao Fei and the unconscious Ding Xiang out of the Zhao Family Village. The people from the Zhao Family Village likely would not find trouble with them anymore.
Along the way, Zhao Fei took care of Ding Xiang. Qiao Mei took them straight to Xia Fang’s hospital and asked the doctor to give Ding Xiang a thorough checkup. They found out that the baby was quite weak and she had been bleeding. For a period of time, she must stay in bed and recuperate and must not tire herself out.
“Both of you should just stay in the hospital. I’ll pay for all the expenses and you can use my VIP ward. You can accompany my mother and Second Aunt-in-law. We must protect the baby,” Qiao Mei said.
“How can we! We definitely can’t accept this money!” Zhao Fei said in surprise.
“You’re my mother’s savior. It’s worth it no matter how much money I have to spend. Let’s save her first. Saving her is more important!” Qiao Mei said.
Zhao Fei did not say anything else. Without Qiao Mei’s help, he probably would not be able to save Ding Xiang and the child. He also would not be able to explain himself to his mentor. He would just have to work hard to repay Qiao Mei in the future.
Qiao Mei returned home and slumped on the sofa without any grace and decorum. Now that everything was settled, she could finally relax.
Xia He did the same as Qiao Mei and slumped on the sofa. In less than a minute, when Xu Lan came down from upstairs and saw it, she said, “Xia He! What kind of posture is this! Are you even sitting properly! Is this how I taught you?”
Xia He pouted and sat upright obediently. Qiao Mei also checked herself and sat beside Xia He obediently.
“Oh Qiao Mei, you don’t have to feel so restrained. Xia He is a dancer and has to pay attention to her image and posture at all times. You don’t have to do that. You can do whatever you want!” Xu Lan said dotingly.
“Mother! You’re not fair at all! I’m also your daughter!” Xia He said with jealousy.
“You can change your job, then I won’t care about you anymore! Otherwise, ask Deng Fan to come and talk to me. I’ll tell him to bring you home! From now on, I won’t ask about you anymore. Let’s see if he dares to do it!” Xu Lan said.
Of course Deng Fan would not dare to do that. Xu Lan was their teacher. Back then, Xu Lan was very angry when Deng Fan left the art troupe so that he could marry Xia He. Whenever Deng Fan saw Xu Lan nowadays, he acted like a mouse seeing a cat. He definitely would not dare to back Xia He up.
“You should talk to Xia Wen. He works all day long. I went to his house to take a look yesterday. It looks like a pigsty! He doesn’t clean up the place at all!” Xu Lan said angrily.
Xia He secretly whispered into Qiao Mei’s ear, “Eldest Brother is obsessed with cleanliness so he can’t be that sloppy. Mother just feels that everyone is untidy. The last time she went to my house, she even wanted to help me clean up the house. In the end, it did not look like she did anything!”
Xu Lan had lived a pampered life for a long time. At home, the helper took care of everything in the house. She did not know how to do household chores at all and did not even know how to cook. She was only looking for a random reason to urge Xia Wen to get married quickly.
“Do the two of you hear what I say!” Xu Lan questioned.
“Yes, yes! Mother, let’s find a partner for Eldest Brother! He has been divorced for so long, it’s time for him to consider getting married!” Qiao Mei said immediately.
Xia He immediately echoed, “Yes, yes, yes! We should find Eldest Brother a smart and capable woman! Then Elder Brother’s life will be in order! Mother, you also want Eldest Brother to find a nice woman, don’t you?”
Xu Lan immediately looked much better. Ever since Xia Wen and Tan Jing divorced, she had been looking for a girl who was suitable for Xia Wen. A girl from an ordinary family was fine too. Her requirements were very simple. The girl should have an upright character, be dignified and dependable and be able to keep her family’s affairs in order.
“Sigh… Do you think there are any suitable girls?” Xu Lan asked happily.
“Um… wasn’t Second Aunt-in-law looking for a partner for Xia Yuan some time ago? She looked at so many girls! All of them are beautiful and have good family backgrounds and seem to be nice too. Don’t you like any of them?” Xia He asked.
“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Those are girls whom Xia Yuan rejected. Why should our Xia Wen pick from leftovers!” Xu Lan said unhappily.
