Qiao Mei remembered that although Mo Chou was a demanding person, he was not unreasonable. If Xia Fang could explain the situation and diagnosis properly in a way that they could understand, why would he want to torment Xia Fang repeatedly? There must be another issue which Qiao Mei was unaware of.
“Aunt, do you know where Eldest Brother went?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Isn’t Xia Wen with Mo Zhu? What is Xia Wen thinking at this point in time? Where else does he need to be?” Xia Fang was already very frustrated and she became even more irritable when she heard this.
Qiao Mei quickly calmed Xia Fang down and said, “I’ll make a call to ask him. Aunt, don’t get agitated.”
She picked up the phone and called Xia Wen’s office. She had to dial the number three or four times before he picked up the phone. Before Qiao Mei could ask anything, she could hear deafening wails and a torrent of verbal abuse at his end of the phone line.
“Eldest Brother, is that you? I’m Qiao Mei,” Qiao Mei asked.
“It’s me. What’s wrong?” Xia Wen said wearily.
“Mother asked me to go and pick you up. Wait for me there.” Qiao Mei hung up after saying that. She quickly gave Xia He a call and asked her to drive to Xia Wen’s workplace as well. The two of them set off at the same time and met there half an hour later.
Xia He asked anxiously, “What’s the emergency?”
“Let’s go in first!” Qiao Mei rushed to Xia Wen’s office with Xia He. The door to Xia Wen’s office was wide open and there were many colleagues gathered at the door.
Xu Ju was standing in the room, pointing at Xia Wen and berating him non-stop. Shi Rui was kneeling on the floor and weeping. Xia Wen just sat behind his desk with a cold expression and watched the farce in front of him. He did not respond to any of this at all.
This was not the first time Shi Rui had come here to cause trouble. During those previous times, she had always come to Xia Wen’s office alone and behaved inappropriately while saying “it’s alright since we’re relatives”.
Before Qiao Mei went on her trip, she had already warned Shi Rui, but Shi Rui did not take it to heart. Instead, she went even more overboard. Xu Ju and Shi Rui were doing this on purpose and had deliberately come to Xia Wen’s office to kick up a fuss just when Mo Zhu was about to give birth.
“What are you doing!” Xia He roared.
“What can we be doing! We’re here to seek justice! Even if you’re from the Xia family! You can’t bully us like this! You still say that we’re relatives! Look at what your eldest brother has done!” Xu Ju shouted like a lunatic.
“Then tell us, what did my eldest brother do?” Qiao Mei questioned.
“Your eldest brother seduced my Shi Rui! He tricked Shi Rui into sleeping with him! He even wants to abandon her now! Abandon my Shi Rui! You have to give me an explanation today!” Xu Ju said forcefully.
When Qiao Mei and Xia He heard this, they laughed in disdain. If Xia Wen wanted to have an affair, he would have cheated on Tan Jing before the divorce. It was impossible that he would wait until he married Mo Zhu to do such a dirty deed.
Even if these two wanted to frame Xia Wen, they should come up with a better story. Qiao Mei wondered if Xu Ju even had a brain if she could only come up with such a lame excuse.
“For now, I’ll still acknowledge the fact that we’re relatives and I’ll still address you as ‘Eldest Aunt’. Please watch your words and consider carefully whether you’re telling the truth or not. Don’t go around slandering us!” Xia He said.
“Of course it’s true! Shi Rui said it herself! How can it be false! She’s pregnant now! Don’t even think about denying it!” Xu Ju said.
Pregnant? Whose child was it? They thought that Shi Rui was not married yet? She did not even have a boyfriend, so where did this child come from?
Xia Wen kept quiet not because he was tacitly admitting to any of this, but because he did not want to have a fight with the two women, nor did he want to waste his time and energy on these two lunatics. Recently, he had rushed to complete a lot of work in advance so that he could take some time off to accompany Mo Zhu. At the same time, he had to deal with the matter concerning Qiao Mei and Gao Lin. He was already totally exhausted and did not have the energy to argue with Xu Ju.
“Just because Shi Rui says that she’s pregnant with my eldest brother’s child means that it’s true? Then I can also say that you owe my family 10 million dollars! Does that mean you really owe our family this amount of money! You don’t even use your brain before you speak! You should at least show us some solid proof!” Xia He said mockingly.
