After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 708

708 Skeleton

Xia Wen and Xia He slowly walked out of the military compound. Qiao Yu took a fancy to Xia Wen at a glance. This gentlemanly young master was really good-looking. He was even better looking than Xia Zhe.

Xia Zhe had the tough appearance of a soldier and a very cold temper. The handsome man in front of her was different. He had a softer face, curved lips and very nice eyes.

“Hello, comrade. This is the person who is looking for you.” The guard brought Qiao Yu to Xia Wen and Xia He.

Qiao Yu did not say anything and just looked at Xia Wen in a daze, almost drooling.

!!
Xia He looked at Qiao Yu in disdain. She thought that Qiao Mei’s relatives would be beauties as well. This was really surprising.

No one would disagree if she said that this was a walking skeleton.

“Hey, hey, hey! If you keep staring, your eyeballs will pop out!” Xia He said impatiently.

Xia Wen also felt disdainful of this person who called herself Qiao Mei’s youngest aunt, but it was his habit not to express his thoughts.

“What… what’s your name? Where are you from? What’s your relationship with Qiao Mei?” Xia Wen asked warily.

Qiao Yu did not panic at all and answered honestly.

Xia Wen went to the guard office to sign off and then brought Qiao Yu back to the Xia family residence. After all, it would arouse suspicion if they kept standing outside. The matter between them and the He family had not ended yet, so it would not be good if the He family found something to use against them.

“Eldest brother… are we really going to bring her back? Mother and the others are all in the house. It doesn’t seem appropriate,” Xia He said worriedly.

What if this person was another one coming here to slander Qiao Mei? They had not forgotten what happened with Wang Yong and the old widow back then. Now a so-called youngest aunt has come along and she wanted to be careful.

“It’s fine. She’s so skinny, it’s not as if she can assassinate someone. She’s probably just here to cause trouble. We can just send her away after asking everything clearly,” Xia Wen said.

He thought that this was a good thing. It would be a good opportunity to see Xu Lan’s attitude towards this woman. Back then, Xu Lan hated Qiao Mei very much over the matter with Wang Yong. He was curious about how Xu Lan would react now.

He was bringing this person back to the Xia family residence purely to satisfy his own curiosity.

“Mother, we’re back,” Xia Wen shouted as he entered the house.

Qiao Yu tiptoed in behind Xia Wen. When Xia Wen entered the house, she still held on to the corner of his shirt and refused to let go. Xia He glared at Qiao Yu, but it was useless. Tan Jing stood up in anger when she saw that.

She had just sent Qiao Mei away, so why was there a woman pestering Xia Wen now? Could it be that this woman was sent by Qiao Mei to seduce Xia Wen!

Qiao Yu looked around. The things in this house looked much more valuable than anything outside. She did not expect Qiao Mei to live in such a place.

“Is this the woman they mentioned on the phone?” Xu Lan put away the yarn in her hand and looked at Qiao Yu with a solemn expression, looking very much like a matriarch.

Xia Wen quietly shook off Qiao Yu’s hand that was holding the corner of his shirt. Everyone sat on the sofa in the living room, leaving Qiao Yu standing alone in the middle, waiting for everyone to interrogate her.

“Where are you from? How old are you? What does your family do? How many people are there in your family? Who do you live with? What’s your relationship with Qiao Mei? Are you married? What do you do?” Xu Lan asked sternly.

Xia He looked at Xu Lan in surprise. She did not expect Xu Lan to know how to ask such things. Her tone and attitude were comparable to that of her eldest aunt, Xia Xiu. They seemed to have underestimated Xu Lan.

Xia Wen was not surprised at all. Back then when Xia Mao traveled around, Xu Lan followed him as a military spouse. Xu Lan knew how to handle such things.

Qiao Yu was so nervous that her legs kept trembling, but she was not an imposter and could answer all these questions.

Seeing that Qiao Yu did not falter on anything, Xu Lan’s expression darkened even more. By right, a sensible child like Qiao Mei would not ask her relatives to come and seek refuge with their family.

It was not as if Qiao Mei did not know about their family’s unique situation. Not everyone could enter through their door. Could it be that Qiao Mei had something urgent to do? However, she did not receive any calls from Qiao Mei these few days. Even the letter Qiao Mei sent not long ago did not mention that she was in any difficulties.

“What are you here for?” Xu Lan asked.

Qiao Yu knelt on the ground with a plop and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably. She said aggrievedly, “Xia Zhe told me to come and look for you…”
