The two of them went home in the same car. On the way, they discussed the family gathering that was coming up in two days.

It was Xia Jun’s birthday in two days’ time. Every year, at this time, the Xia family’s three sons and their families would return to the old house to celebrate Xia Jun’s birthday together. Other than people like Xia Zhe, who could not return to the country because he was on a secret mission, everyone else had to turn up. Even if they were busy at work, they had to put everything aside.

Qiao Mei brought Xu Kang and Feng Hua to Xia Jun’s house to help out. Xia Jun said that his favorite dish was the scrambled eggs with tomatoes which Feng Hua made. Although it was a very simple home-cooked dish, Feng Hua’s version was most similar to the taste of the dish he used to eat at the cookhouse when he was in the army.

The moment Qiao Mei entered the house, she saw an unfamiliar woman sitting beside Xu Lan. She had never seen this person before.

“Qiao Mei, you’re here!” the woman said excitedly.

“Yes, I just sent my children to kindergarten so I’m a little late. Who are you?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“You don’t know me, but I know you! I’m a teacher from Seventh High, the school which is next door to your high school. My name is Tang Hui. I’ve long heard of you and I’ve always wanted to meet you. I’ve always been meaning to find out why you do so well in your studies and if you have any special methods!” Tang Hui said as she looked at Qiao Mei in admiration.

Qiao Mei looked towards Xu Lan for help but Xu Lan quickly popped into the kitchen. Before Qiao Mei came, she had to handle Tang Hui on her own. Now that Tang Hui had a new target, she could finally take a break.

Tang Hui latched on to Qiao Mei and chattered for a long time. Qiao Mei could tell that Tang Hui was truly full of concern for her students and wanted her students to have a good future ahead of them. Qiao Mei earnestly shared her learning and teaching experiences with Tang Hui and Tang Hui was deeply inspired by what she heard. She even used a notebook to note down all the key points which Qiao Mei mentioned!

It was not until mealtime that Qiao Mei found out that Tang Hui was Xia Guang’s girlfriend. The two of them were currently dating and it seemed that Xia Guang’s intention was to eventually get married.

Some time ago, Qiao Mei had joked about finding a girlfriend for Xia Guang so that Zhou Hua would not be able to pester him anymore. She did not expect Xia Guang to have a change of heart so quickly.

After the meal, Xia You quietly pulled Qiao Mei away and whispered, “See? That’s the girlfriend I found for Third Uncle. Isn’t she much better than Zhou Hua!”

“How bold of you! Does Second Aunt-in-law know about this?” Qiao Mei asked in shock.

“Of course not. Even Third Uncle doesn’t know. I did everything secretly. Tang Hui and Third Uncle still think that their meeting was a chance encounter and love at first sight! In fact, it was all arranged by Lu Huai and I!” Xia You said proudly.

“I see you’re not worried that Zhou Hua will go to your house to cause trouble when she finds out,” Qiao Mei said.

“I can’t wait for that woman to come to my house! And have a good fight with me! During this period of time, I’ve been putting on an act of being gentle and virtuous and I’m so tired. I’m starting to regret letting Lu Huai expand the business to such a big extent,” Xia You said irritably.

“Mrs. Lu, you don’t want to become a rich wife? Then I’ll talk to Lu Huai and buy all the shares of your company. After that, the two of you can just stay at home and do nothing,” Qiao Mei said.

“Shoo, shoo, shoo! I’m just complaining to you! This is called having blissful problems!” Xia You said happily.

Although the Xia family had split up, Xia Jun was always worried about Xia Guang. Now that he saw Xia Guang going down the right path and even finding a decent girlfriend, Xia Jun finally felt relieved.

The family gathered together and chatted away. As it got later in the night, Xia Jun felt a little tired and everyone went home after cleaning up. When Qiao Mei was driving up to her house in her car, she saw a figure at the door from a distance away.

Qiao Mei got out of the car and looked at Xu Ba, saying, “How long have you been waiting here? Why don’t you go in?”

“I I’m too embarrassed to go in,” Xu Ba said apologetically.

“Why are you here? To see my mother?” Qiao Mei asked directly.

“No! I just want to come and apologize to you and your mother. What happened that day was not my intention at all. It’s all my fault and my family members did not respect both of you. I’m sorry!” Xu Ba said earnestly.

Qiao Mei shook her head and said, “It doesn’t matter to me. We were not disadvantaged in any way that day. If you want to apologize to my mother, I can pass the message to her.”

“Thank you,” Xu Ba said.

Just as Qiao Mei was about to step into the courtyard, she turned around and asked Xu Ba, “What are your plans for the future?”

“I I actually don’t know how to face your mother. I love your mother deeply, but I haven’t put enough thought into this issue. My family has bad intentions towards you and your family. They’ve been blinded by the idea of riding on your family’s influence. If I marry your mother, she won’t be happy in the future,” Xu Ba said, looking agonized.
