980 Where Does This Princess Come From
Xu Lan had heard about the conflict between Tan Jing and Xia Wen and knew that it must be about the issue of the house. Xu Lan had never taken this issue seriously, but when she saw Xia Wen coming back with an injury, she could no longer ignore it.
“There are two houses registered under your grandfather’s name, near where our relatives live in the countryside. You can consider letting them live there,” Xu Lan said.
Xia Wen was about to reject the idea when he looked up and saw Xu Lan’s serious and concerned expression. He swallowed his words of rejection.
Xu Lan was trying her best to get close to him.!!
“Alright, I’ll go back and ask her,” Xia Wen said with a gentle smile.
Even when Xia Wen reached the door, Xu Lan was still nagging behind him. She asked him to be careful when he went out, to sit in the back when he was in the car, not to work too hard, and so on. Her last sentence was a reminder to him to come home more often.
It was not until Xia Wen got into the car and it disappeared from Xu Lan’s sight that she retracted her worried gaze and went back to cook delicious food for Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei only woke up around noon. Xu Lan and Liu Fen did not go upstairs to wake her up. Xia He told them about Qiao Mei’s hardships and experiences during this period of time. They had both been pregnant before and understood how uncomfortable Qiao Mei must be feeling, especially Liu Fen, who almost died when giving birth to her last child.
“Why don’t we persuade Qiao Mei again? We’ve never had twins before. Our past experiences are not applicable to Qiao Mei. It’s safest for her to go to Xia Fang’s place,” Liu Fen said worriedly.
“If we can’t convince her to do that, then she can come and stay here. We can get a private doctor to stay here and take care of Qiao Mei,” Xu Lan said sternly.
As Xia He watched the two elders echoing each other, she could not help but laugh out loud.
Xu Lan frowned and said, “How rude! What are you laughing at!”
“It’s useless for you to be so worried. Qiao Mei won’t listen to you. I’ve tried to persuade her for a long time but she won’t listen to a word I say. Instead of asking her to stay in the hospital, it might be a more viable solution to get a few more helpers to take care of Qiao Mei at home,” Xia He said.
Liu Fen rolled her eyes at Xia He. Since Xia He had never given birth before, she naturally did not know how dangerous it was. It was like having a close shave with death! There were many women who died while giving birth. It was such a heavy price to pay.
Given that they had the ability to take all the necessary precautions, they should do whatever was necessary to minimize the risks. This was especially important in Qiao Mei’s case, as she was in a different situation from other people and faced greater risk.
Just as they were having an intense discussion, Qiao Mei slowly walked down the stairs. Everyone turned to look at her. Liu Fen quickly went to the kitchen to bring out the warm food. Xu Lan hurried to Qiao Mei’s side and helped her down the stairs, worried that she would fall down.
The current Qiao Mei was the entire Xia family’s treasure and the apple of their eyes. No matter how well they took care of her, they still felt that it was not enough.
Xia He teased, “People who don’t know better would think that a princess married into our family. Mother, will you also take care of me like this when I’m pregnant?”
Xu Lan glared at Xia He and said, “Aren’t you ashamed to say such things? If you’re so free, then go and find a nice man to marry! If you’re not married, how can you have children! If you find a man you can rely on for the rest of your life, I’ll take care of you like this when you’re pregnant!”
Xia He pursed her lips and sat on the sofa to watch television. She did not want to get married. She had only enjoyed freedom for such a short while and did not want to get married and then had to serve her in-laws. The mention of marriage gave her a headache.
The issue with Kong Lu was a well-learned lesson. She did not have the confidence to be able to manage a marriage well and she did not have the energy to get along with another man. It was better for her to live her own life well.
Qiao Mei even said that if Xia He could not fulfill her dream, Qiao Mei would go into business with her! If that happened, she would be a rich woman who could have whatever she wanted. Being happy was the most important thing!
