Chapter 2286: Meet Up Again
"What are you going to do? Help me beat them up?" Qiao Mei asked.
"It's not impossible. If they're that impulsive, I can just beat them up!" Xia He said happily. "Alright, you can come too." After saying that, Qiao Mei returned to her room to rest.
Xia He called up Xia Wen excitedly to ask him about what happened previously. She had wanted to gossip with him and also find out more about the Xu family's background. She did not expect him to fly into a rage when he heard about what was going on.
He already knew about this matter back then. After all, he was the one who had dealt with the aftermath. He knew very well how despicable the Xu family members were. Since they all already knew that this family was trash, why did they still want to contact these people again? "When is this meal going to be? I'll go too," Xia Wen said with a frown.
"Eldest Brother, isn't it inappropriate for you to go? It's just a casual meal, not a formal gathering," Xia He said.
Xia Wen was currently the Xia family's representative. He represented the Xia family's standpoint whenever he went. Therefore, he could not casually attend banquets nowadays. This was not even the most important issue. The thing was that Xia He felt that Qiao Mei planned to take the Xu family down a notch at the meal, so it would be inconvenient if Xia Wen was around.
Why did she say these things to Xia Wen! Sigh! What if she messed up Qiao Mei's plan!
"Don't say anything else. I'll go to Qiao Mei's house tomorrow morning. I still have work to do so I'll hang up first." With that, Xia Wen hung up the phone.
Xia He stood rooted to the spot in a daze with the phone in her hand. She looked at Deng Fan aggrievedly and said, "Do you think I have caused trouble?"
"Don't worry too much. With Qiao Mei's character, even if Xia Wen is around, it won't affect her plans," Deng Fan said calmly.
The next day, Qiao Mei was stunned when she saw Xia Wen blocking the main door. She did not remember doing anything outrageous during this period of time?
"Eldest Brother, why are you here?" Qiao Mei asked.
"If I don't come, the Xu family will have to suffer at your hands!" Xia Wen said.
It looked like Xia He had let things slip. Xia Wen walked into the house angrily and not long after, Xia He also rushed over to Qiao Mei's house. Everyone was here.
"Tell me, what do you intend to do? I'm guessing that you're not just inviting the Xu family to a meal," Xia Wen said.
"If I really want to do something, you can't stop me," Qiao Mei said.
Xia He shook her head helplessly. She did not expect Deng Fan to be right. If Qiao Mei set her heart on doing something, even ten bulls would not be able to hold her back!
"Mei Mei, it's useless even if you intimidate the Xu family on that day. I know this kind of issue best. You know very well how the Kong family treated me back then. A daughter-in-law has to face many difficulties. You won't be able to take care of everything," Xia He said.
So long as Old Madam Xu put on a show in front of others and complained tearfully about how Li Gui had treated her "badly", the neighbors would naturally speak up for Old Madam Xu. There would even be people who prided themselves on being righteous and would want to teach Li Gui a lesson! Xia He had encountered such things too many times.
"It's not as if I want to cause chaos in the Xu family. It depends on whether they can really understand what I'm saying. If they insist on causing trouble, I can't just stand by and watch," Qiao Mei said.
Xia Wen and Xia He agreed with what Qiao Mei said. Since Li Gui wanted to spend the rest of her life with Xu Ba, then these issues had to be resolved.
The date for the meal was set very quickly. Three days later, they all gathered at Li Gui's restaurant. Things were different today. The same people sat in the same seats, but their attitudes were totally different. Old Madam Xu was no longer as domineering and unreasonable as before. She even went to the kitchen to cook her best dish for Li Gui to try.
Xu Chun seemed to be very afraid of Qiao Mei and lowered her head like an ostrich in hiding. Xia He curiously tugged at the corner of Qiao Mei's top and asked softly, "What's the story between you and her?"
"She was wooing Xia Yuan some time back. She pestered him for a long time, so I took care of the issue," Qiao Mei said.
"My goodness, this Xia Yuan. He really has lousy romantic luck. Second Aunt-in-law is already preparing for his wedding with Zhou Xi," Xia He said.
"That's really not bad. When Xia Yuan gets married, I have to give him a big gift." Qiao Mei deliberately raised her voice so that everyone present could hear what she said.
Xu Chun's face turned pale. Liu Xiao gritted her teeth and looked at Qiao Mei. She knew who Xia Yuan was. If not for Qiao Mei interfering in this matter, she might even have a grandson by now!
Xu Ba looked at Qiao Mei nervously. He knew very well that if he really wanted to marry Li Gui, he had to get Qiao Mei's approval. If Qiao Mei did not agree, then he had no hope.
"This must be Xia He. I've seen you on the art troupe's publicity posters! You're so beautiful!" Liu Xiao said with a smile.
