Chapter 1763 Chase Her to Her House
Feng Hua gave her interpretation from the side. "Children are like this. In the beginning, all they want to do is to express their needs to the adults. Perhaps Xia Xing is hungry now or wants to play with you, which is why she's making those sounds so eagerly."
Qiao Mei and Xia Xing looked at Feng Hua confusedly, as if neither of them understood what Feng Hua meant.
Xia Xing thought to herself. I… I was trying to tell my mother just now that my brother snatched my toy yesterday. I didn't ask my mother to play with me!
Qiao Mei also thought to herself. Although I can't understand what the children are saying, the children can understand what you're saying. Is that really what they mean?
At this moment, Xu Kang ran to the room door and said while panting, "Mei Mei, there's a man at the door. He says that he's your classmate and is here to visit you. Do you want to go out and meet him?"
"Classmate? Did he tell you his name?" Qiao Mei asked with a slight frown.
"His name is Wu something… I can't remember! That name is quite hard to remember. Why don't you come with me to take a look? If you don't want to go out, I'll go and ask him to leave," Xu Kang asked.
"It's alright, let's go over together. Sister Feng, take good care of the children." After saying that, Qiao Mei went to the main door. It was a rare rest day for her and yet she had to host a visitor. She wondered which inconsiderate person was here to disturb her peace and quiet.
Wu Duo stood at the door, feeling uneasy. He already expected Qiao Mei's family to be very rich. When he got her address from Wu Li, he already felt that she was not from an ordinary family, but he certainly did not expect her house to be so grand.
When Qiao Mei saw that it was Wu Duo, her face darkened. It was one thing for him to chase after her in school yesterday, but now he had actually chased her all the way to her house.
"How do you know my home address?" Qiao Mei questioned.
"I asked our homeroom teacher for it…" Wu Duo said embarrassedly.
Qiao Mei nodded in understanding and said, "Alright, I understand. When we go back to school, I'll report the homeroom teacher for leaking a student's personal details. I'll report you for it as well. Go back now."
"Hey, hey, hey! It's not like that! I really have a favor to ask of you! This matter has nothing to do with my uncle! You must not report him!" Wu Duo said agitatedly.
Qiao Mei sized up Wu Duo and said, "You come to my house empty-handed even though you say you have a favor to ask. I don't think you're sincere about asking for help."
"I was in too much of a hurry and forgot to bring it! I'll definitely make it up to you next time!" Wu Duo said firmly.
Qiao Mei stood at the door and looked at Wu Duo quietly. Wu Duo also stared back at Qiao Mei. After a moment of stalemate, Qiao Mei said, "Alright, come in."
Qiao Mei gave Xu Kang a look. Xu Kang quickly went to the backyard to ask Li Gui to come to the front yard to accompany Qiao Mei. At the moment, Xia Zhe was not at home and Qiao Qiang had gone out to exercise with the other elders since early in the morning. It would be difficult for Qiao Mei to explain herself if people heard that she and Wu Duo were alone in the same room. There must be someone else present.
After entering the house, Wu Duo finally understood what it meant to be from a rich family. He had never even seen those fixtures and fittings in the courtyard before. Although he was not very knowledgeable, he could still tell the difference between high and low statuses.
Qiao Mei led Wu Duo to the living room. Xu Kang made tea for Wu Duo as Li Gui carried Xia Fan and came to Qiao Mei's side.
"This is my mother and that's my child," Qiao Mei said to Wu Duo by way of introduction.
"Hello, Auntie. It's our first time meeting and I'm really sorry for not bringing anything with me. I'll definitely make it up to you next time!" Wu Duo said.
"You're too kind. Please take a seat," Li Gui said.
Qiao Mei took a sip of tea and asked, "You said that you have something to tell me, so tell me."
Wu Duo looked at Qiao Mei and stammered, "It's not convenient for others to know about this. I can only tell you."
"Then go out. You're not welcome here," Qiao Mei said coldly.
It looked like Wu Duo was really too inflexible. Qiao Mei had rejected him so many times, but he still did not know his limits and even crossed the line now.
"Alright, alright, alright! I'll talk! I'll talk, alright!" Wu Duo begged for mercy.
It was quite an embarrassing matter. When Wu Duo just graduated, he was in the prime of his youth and had obtained his village's only admission slot to Capital University. His parents and teachers thought highly of him and his parents even held a banquet in the village to celebrate him becoming a student at Capital University.
