Chapter 2175: Find Time to Meet Up
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
What Xia You said made sense. Just a few years back, Xia Jun did not care so much about these things and felt that his children and grandchildren had their own lives to live. However, as he grew older, he began to fear that he would not be able to see all his children and grandchildren find their happiness before he passed.
Xia Jun noticed that there were dark circles under Qiao Mei’s eyes and asked with some heartache, “Mei Mei, have you been too busy recently and don’t sleep well? You’re almost turning into a giant panda!”
“I’d better drink some tonics and supplements,” Qiao Mei said.
“A person can’t just rely on tonics and supplements. Although medicine is very effective, all medicines are harmful to the body. You have to adjust your lifestyle accordingly and rest well. Don’t neglect your health because of work,” Xia Jun reminded her.
“Noted! I’ll definitely take Grandfather’s advice!” Qiao Mei said happily.
“The two of you too!” Xia Jun said as he looked at Xia You and Xia Wen.
“Yes, Grandfather,” Xia You and Xia Wen said together.
When Qiao Mei saw that Xia Jun was in a good mood, she asked tentatively, “Grandfather, what do you think of Tang Hui, the person who came to our house that day?”
Xia Jun remembered that woman. She was not considered a beauty, but she was dignified and knowledgeable. She seemed like a nice woman and Xia Jun could tell that she was interested in Xia Guang.
“Which one of you introduced that woman to Xia Guang?” Xia Jun questioned.
“As expected, I can’t hide it from Grandfather. It’s me ” Xia You said guiltily.
Xia Guang had behaved well during this period of time and was always asking about Xia Jun’s well-being. Xia Jun really could not stand the fact that Xia Guang was doing so badly in his career, so he found him a position in the capital that was not too busy. It was a civilian post in the army, doing administrative work. Xia Guang was already quite old and could retire in another six years.
Based on Xia Guang’s usual lifestyle and the nature of his work, he would never meet a woman like Tang Hui. It must be someone from the family who secretly introduced her to Xia Guang.
As expected, Xia Jun gave Xia You a good scolding. In Xia Jun’s eyes, even if Zhou Hua and Xia Guang had already divorced, it remained a fact that the two of them had once been husband and wife. After all, they even had three disappointing sons together!
It was not a big deal even if the two of them had conflicts occasionally. There was no such thing as a couple who did not argue.
However, Xia You had now introduced a woman to Xia Guang. In Xia Jun’s eyes, what she was doing was breaking up Xia Guang and his wife. If word got out, it would affect Xia Xing negatively!
“Grandfather! Xia Xing is already a full-fledged grownup! He already has a son! Don’t tell me he still cares about such things? Besides, it’s a normal thing to get remarried after a divorce now! We can’t let our family keep getting harmed by that vicious woman, Zhou Hua! That’s the real disaster!” Xia You argued.
Xia Jun suddenly remembered that there were several members of the Xia family who had gotten a divorce. After Xia Wen and Xia He got divorced, they both led happier lives. Perhaps Xia Guang could also do the same.
When Xia Jun did not say anything, Xia You hurriedly said, “Grandfather! Am I wrong? Are we really going to watch on as Zhou Hua keeps harming our family!”
“Xia You! Talk to Grandfather in a proper manner!” Xia Wen reminded her.
“I’m sorry, Grandfather. I’m too anxious, but I really feel indignant for Third Uncle. If he can find another partner, he will definitely be happy in his old age! Yesterday, Qiao Mei was almost beaten up by Zhou Hua!” Xia You said aggrievedly.
“Huh? Didn’t Zhou Hua leave the capital? Did she hurt you?” Xia Jun asked with a frown.
“I don’t know why she has returned recently, but I’m fine. Fortunately, Eldest Brother had asked me to bring the bodyguards with me at all times and they stopped her from doing anything. Otherwise, I don’t think I’ll be able to come and visit you today,” Qiao Mei said with a sigh.
“That’s not all. Recently, Xia Xing has been working very hard and he has already been transferred to the economics affairs department. Zhou Hua went around to gather supporters for Xia Xing and even made it sound like she was doing it on behalf of the Xia family. I’ve already tried to explain it privately to all those people she approached, but there are really way too many people she approached. I can only explain to a few but not all,” Xia Wen said.
Xia Jun said furiously, “She’s too much! How dare she be so bold! She’s going to get Xia Xing into a lot of trouble!”
“That’s right, Grandfather! We have to quickly find a wife for Third Uncle! Otherwise, if this continues, our Xia family will encounter an even bigger problem!” Xia You said.
Xia Jun thought about it and then said, “Find a time for me to meet this woman. Ask Xia Guang to come along too.”
The three of them looked at one another and smiled happily. As long as Xia Jun agreed to do this, the issue was basically settled. Although they did not know if Tang Hui could resist the temptation if a lot of money was dangled in front of her, she could not be worse than Zhou Hua!
At night, the three of them went home with the children. Qiao Mei suddenly felt that she did not want to contribute so much seeds to the country anymore. It was not that she was selfish, but she did not want to be protected like Xia Jun in her later years, like she was a national treasure!
