After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 609

609 Troubled

If Xiang Jin came to tell him all this, then something must have really happened at home. However, when he called Xia Wen in the capital previously, Xia Wen did not mention anything about it. Could it be that Xia Wen also had not gone home recently as well?

Xia Zhe said sincerely, “I’ll call her now. Bye, Uncle.”

The two of them exchanged a few pleasantries before hanging up.

Xia Zhe did not choose to call Xu Lan immediately. He walked aimlessly on the training ground alone. This was the first time he had been troubled by family matters.

!!
In his childhood, he only had memories of his aunt Xia Fang taking care of him meticulously, his grandfather Xia Jun doting on him, his eldest aunt Xia Xiu’s strict training, and his uncle Xiang Jin’s gentle teachings.

During his childhood, his parental love came from Xia Fang and Xiang Jin. He did not have any relevant memories of Xia Mao and Xu Lan. Xia Mao always stayed in the army unit and rarely went home, while Xu Lan often went on performance tours outside. The entire house was always vacant and spiritless.

He also did not know what a home was. When he was young, he was envious of other children whose parents sent them to school. During the parent-teacher meeting at school, he was also envious of other kids whose parents attended the meeting. He was the only one who went with his youngest aunt, Xia Fang. There was even once when he fell sick at home and did not go to school the next day. It was not until the teacher looked for Xia Fang before they found out that he was already unconscious.

He did not know how to interact with his parents or communicate with them.

For a moment, he wished he was not a grownup. At the very least, he would not need to interact with them and there would not be such troublesome issues.

“Sigh.” Xia Zhe sighed deeply.

At this moment, Zhuang Hua quietly followed behind Xia Zhe. Just as he was about to scare Xia Zhe, Xia Zhe discovered him.

“I saw you a long time ago. You still have to practice your camouflage skills. Your footsteps are too loud,” Xia Zhe complained.

Zhuang Hua pursed his lips resignedly. How could he be compared to the “top army warrior”? If he did not get discovered by Xia Zhe, then he would be the “top army warrior” instead of Xia Zhe!

“Why are you frowning the moment you’re back? Don’t tell me you did not have a good time during your wedding vacation? Haven’t you tasted any sweetness yet? Sister-in-law is pregnant now, so you can’t attack her even if you want to,” Zhuang Hua said as he looked at Xia Zhe with a gossipy expression.

Xia Zhe blushed and punched Zhuang Hua on the shoulder. “What the heck! Am I such a beast!”

Actually, it was not as if he did not touch her at all. If Xia Fang had not repeatedly reminded him that Qiao Mei was unable to do any vigorous exercise for the time being, he would not have been able to endure it until now.

“Then why are you troubled?” Zhuang Hua asked curiously.

Xia Zhe told Zhuang Hua everything that had happened in the capital recently. Zhuang Hua’s family could also be considered quite prominent in the capital. Even if Xia Zhe did not say anything, Zhuang Hua would eventually know about it.

“Is sister-in-law alright! I’ll go chop up that bastard He Ning now!” Zhuang Hua stood up and said indignantly.

Xia Zhe quickly pacified him and said, “She’s fine. The He family’s evil plan didn’t succeed. It seems that He Mei was the one who made the decision on her own accord. He Ning didn’t know anything beforehand. Anyway, my brother is handling all the specifics now.”

“If you ask me, you really have a lot of romantic debts. So many women are willing to risk their lives for you,” Zhuang Hua said melancholically.

Earlier, Zheng Yuan had destroyed her career path because of Xia Zhe. Then, Qian’e had ruined her own life. After that, there was still a He Mei who was a lunatic who harmed others and herself.

It did not seem to be a good thing to be handsome. People said that beautiful women were all femme fatales. In Zhuang Hua’s opinion, handsome men were nothing less!

“Then what are you worried about now? Don’t tell me it’s because you miss sister-in-law,” Zhuang Hua said as he looked at Xia Zhe in disdain.

“I haven’t told my mother that Qiao Mei is still pregnant because I’m worried that she would leak the news and we won’t be able to nab He Ning. Just now, my uncle called me and said that my mother is now in a very bad state and crying every day. I don’t know what to do now,” Xia Zhe said helplessly.

Zhuang Hua felt that this matter was very simple and not so complicated at all. It all depended on Xia Zhe’s determination.

“I think it’s good to let your mother cry for a bit. Your mother has never cared about the three of you since you were young. Now that she has experienced this matter with Qiao Mei, it’s good if she learns how to cherish things because of it,” Zhuang Hua said.

That was indeed the case, but he was just afraid that Xu Lan’s body would not be able to hold on until the day she came to realize the truth.
