It was not up to her to make any decisions. Since she had come to this world, she had to understand the rules of survival here. Only then could she protect herself and not let others bully her as they pleased, and to make sure that what He Ning did to her would not happen again.

Qiao Mei looked at her stomach worriedly, not knowing how much more trouble was waiting for her or her children in the future. She hoped that the children would be safe and could grow up without any worries. She also wished that she could be the one to bear all the hards.h.i.+ps on their behalf, unlike the descendants of the Jiang family, who had to experience so much at a young age and were even displaced from their home.

“It seems that this world is not as simple as I imagined…” Qiao Mei said, feeling melancholic.

Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei and said firmly, “I will definitely protect you and our children. I won’t let you get hurt or suffer.”

Qiao Mei looked into Xia Zhe’s determined eyes and said with a smile, “I will also protect our home.”

She must understand the rhythm of this world and master its rules and regulations. Only then could she protect her children, the people she loved and everything she cherished.

Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei’s determined gaze. The gentle young girl in his arms had become strong for their family and was willing to go through thick and thin with him.

Xia Zhe stroked Qiao Mei’s stomach gently and said, “Alright, we’ll go over there and take a look together.”

He felt that there would be moments when he could not keep an eye on her, and thought that it would be safer to borrow a few security guards from his father to protect Qiao Mei and avoid any accidents.

Xia Zhe coaxed Qiao Mei to sleep for a while more. Otherwise, she would have rushed off to the He family’s house immediately even though it was still before dawn.

Most of the neighbors in the vicinity were reputable people in the capital and many families had complicated relations.h.i.+ps with one another. They all knew that Xia Zhe’s house had been dug up a few days ago and that the mastermind was the He family.

Now that the He family’s house was being dug up, there would definitely be people who would come by to ask the Xia family to go and take a look. People would want to see the sparks fly between the two families, so naturally there would be people who would come to look for them immediately when anything happened.

As Xia Zhe had expected, someone came to the door as soon as dawn broke.

“Is anyone there! Is anyone home! Something happened!” There was a frantic knocking sound on the door downstairs.

Xia Zhe had already been waiting in the living hall for a long time, concerned that the rest of the family would be woken up if someone pressed the doorbell.

“What’s wrong, auntie? What’s the matter so early in the morning?” Xia Zhe wrapped a jacket around himself and pretended to look sleepy as he asked.

The neighbor whispered, “Xiao Zhe, I see you just got up. I want to tell you that something happened at the He family’s house. Hurry up and go take a look. I heard that it’s not a small matter!”

Xia Zhe pretended to be shocked and said, “Huh? What happened?”

“I heard that they got reported and that someone from the Jiang family had come looking for them! I’m just here to tell you that. I’m going over first! You guys come quickly!” The neighbor hurriedly left after saying that.

Xia Zhe watched his neighbor leave and closed the door before calling Xia Mao on the phone.

“h.e.l.lo… Father, it has already started at the He family’s side. The neighbors have also gone over,” Xia Zhe said in a low voice.

“Alright, I’ll go over with your elder brother now.” After saying that, Xia Mao prepared to hang up.

After finis.h.i.+ng what they needed to do last night, Xia Wen brought Xia Mao to his house. Tan Jing was staying with Xu Lan now. If they went back so late, it would disturb their rest. He had asked Xia Zhe to go with them, but Xia Zhe was afraid that Qiao Mei would be worried if she waited too long at home for him, so he went back to the house alone.

“Wait! Can I borrow 10… no, no, no, 20 security guards from you?” Xia Zhe asked softly.

Xia Mao found it to be a very strange request. Putting aside his own achievements when he was young, Xia Wen was a top army warrior for three years. Xia Zhe did even better than them. Who would dare to attack the three of them?

“What do you need so many people for?” Xia Mao asked.

“I… I’m afraid that the He family will incite a riot. If all the He family’s enemies swarm over, we won’t be able to stop them. What if they have a backup plan and we’re outnumbered,” Xia Zhe explained haphazardly.

Xia Mao thought about it and felt that it made sense. It was better to be safe than sorry.
