After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2292: Sudden Attack

Chapter 2292: Sudden Attack

"Then what about you? What about you and the children? The children are still so young. Can you handle them on your own?" Li Gui said worriedly.

"Don't worry. There are so many people in the family and they will be well taken care of. Don't worry about me. You can just go ahead," Qiao Mei said.

That night, Qiao Mei and Li Gui chatted for a long time. This was the first time that Li Gui felt that she was living her own life. When she was young, her life revolved around the Li family. As she was the eldest daughter, she had to take care of her younger siblings. She married Qiao Yue but he pa.s.sed away not long after. When she married Zhang Qian after that, her life was no longer hers anymore.

Her entire life seemed to revolve around others. Now, she felt like she had found out what it meant to be herself and to live for herself.

Qiao Mei was very calm on the day she sent Li Gui off. To her, Li Gui was not her mother but a friend. Her only memories of Li Gui were those which belonged to the original owner of the body.

"You let her leave just like that," Xia Wan said.

"That's right. It's not like we're going to part forever. We'll meet again," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"Then you might as well let her go overseas. I can take care of her in Country M. Old Madam Xu won't be able to chase her all the way there!" Xia Wan said in a fit of pique.

Before Qiao Mei could say anything, a deep voice sounded behind them. "Is that so? Then why aren't you back there yet?"

"You! You! Why are you here!" Xia Wan said as she looked at Gao Long in shock.

"Why can't I come here? I don't know your phone number or your home address in the capital. I can't manage to contact Qiao Mei either. Do you know how much effort I have to put in to find you?" Gao Long said a little angrily.

Xia Wan did not know what to say about all of this. How could she tell him that she had felt a little afraid that their relations.h.i.+p was developing too fast, so she had fled back to her home country?

"If you're here in the capital, then what about Xia Mo? Is there anyone taking care of her over there?" Xia Wan suddenly asked.

"Oh, so you still remember that you have a daughter! It's much safer there than here. She is in school and the helper is taking care of her," Gao Long said.

"I... I see..." Xia Wan said fearfully.

The air around them seemed to freeze. Qiao Mei wanted to escape secretly, but Gao Long quickly stopped her and said, "You can't leave. I haven't scolded you yet!"

"Uncle, you really can't blame me for this~ I come back here in accordance with my schedule" Qiao Mei said sweetly.

Gao Long thought about it and felt that it did make sense. The person who changed plans at the last minute was Xia Wan, so Gao Long let Qiao Mei go. After Qiao Mei gave Xia Wan some encouragement, she went to the parking lot to look for Xia Wen's car.

Xia Wan was on the brink of tears as she looked at Gao Long and said, "Can you be gentler when you scold me?"

Gao Long walked forward and hugged Xia Wan tightly, saying, "Fortunately, Xia Mo is still in Country M. If Xia Mo disappeared too, I would have gone crazy. Do you know how anxious I am? You can't do this again."

"Alright, I definitely won't do it again!" Xia Wan said.

Just as the two of them were behaving in a lovey-dovey manner, an older woman wearing a district armband raised a red flag and walked over to the two of them. She said loudly, "Don't you have any shame doing this in broad daylight! How can you hug each other!"

Gao Long looked at the woman in confusion. Xia Wan quickly grabbed Gao Long and ran away. It did not take long for them to leave the woman behind and they hurriedly got into the car.

"You don't understand the customs in this country. A couple can't get too close to each other on the streets here! Otherwise, you'll be criticized!" Xia Wan said while panting heavily.

Gao Long did not reply. Xia Wan looked up and saw Xia Wen looking at her with a serious expression. She said in a panic, "Um... there's nothing between the two of us! Xiao Wen, don't tell the family about this!"

"Huh?" Qiao Mei said in shock.

Xia Wan knew that she had said something wrong again. She turned to Gao Long and said, "That's not what I mean! It's just that you suddenly come to the capital and my family is not ready for this!"

"Alright, alright, calm down. I haven't even said anything. I'm just curious about who he is," Xia Wen said innocently.

"This is Xia Wen, my eldest uncle's eldest son. Qiao Mei's husband is his younger brother." Xia Wan made an introduction to Gao Long. When it was time to introduce Gao Long, Xia Wan felt a little embarra.s.sed and said shyly, "This is my... my boyfriend, Gao Long."

"h.e.l.lo," Gao Long greeted Xia Wen politely. Xia Wen nodded in response.

After Xia Wen started the car, he asked Qiao Mei softly, "His surname is Gao and he's also from Country M. How are you related to him?"

Xia Wen was as sharp as Qiao Mei expected. She replied honestly, "He's my uncle."

Xia Wen suddenly stomped on the brakes and stared ahead in shock. Xia Wan and Qiao Mei's uncle were dating! This was such a mess of the family hierarchy... Then should he address Gao Long as Cousin-in-law in the future or follow Qiao Mei and address him as Uncle?
