“Calm down! Calm down, all of you!” An Xin held Xu Lan’s arm and continued, “Cousin-in-law, don’t be angry. My daughter is lacking in knowledge and experience. She hasn’t gone out to work for many years. She has become ignorant from staying at home all the time and she’s just talking nonsense! Don’t get angry!”

“Mother! Why are you behaving like this as well!” Xia Bai said aggrievedly.

“Shut up! Go to the side! You have no right to speak here!” An Xin growled at Xia Bai.

Xia Ding quickly brought Xia Bai and Wang Kun to the small garden at the side to take a walk. If they caused any more trouble and alarmed their grandfather, he would be put on the spot in front of Elder Granduncle.

Xia You looked in the direction which Xia Bai and the others had left in with a disgusted expression. Qiao Mei did not have much of an expression on her face. She had met many people like this before. Whoever made her unhappy could not blame her for turning her back on them.

Xu Lan still felt quite angry and An Xin said a lot of nice things before Xu Lan managed to smile a little. After all, this was the first time Xia Zheng’s family had returned to the capital after so long. As long as it was not something life-threatening, she had to endure it for now. Whatever it was, they could talk about later.

Time passed very quickly and it was soon mealtime. There was definitely no space at Xia Jun’s house to accommodate so many people. At first, Xia Jun had intended to go to Li Gui’s restaurant, but he did not expect that Li Gui also did not have a private room that was big enough.

Some time ago, Qiao Mei had bought a house in the capital’s suburbs. It was located in a beautiful area near the mountain and river. She spent a lot of money on the renovations. The entire place felt like a paradise in the middle of nowhere! It was an extremely gorgeous place!

The floor area of the living room was 200 square meters! It could definitely accommodate everyone here and there were even enough rooms in the house for everyone to stay over for the night.

At first, Xu Lan did not understand why Qiao Mei was willing to do this. She had heard about that house and knew that Qiao Mei treasured it very much. Qiao Mei had said that after the children grew up, Xia Zhe and her would move to that house after they retire.

When they reached the house, Xu Lan understood Qiao Mei’s intentions. She was doing this on purpose. She had probably already investigated Xia Zheng’s family members and knew what kind of person Xia Bai was. She was putting on a show for Xia Zheng’s family.

If Xia Bai and the rest were willing to get along well with Qiao Mei, then she would treat it as letting her family members experience the joy of living in the villa. If they did not want to get along well with her, she would show off her wealth to annoy Xia Bai and the others!

Qiao Mei laid out two tables in the living room. One was for drinkers and the other was for non-drinkers. This way, it would be easier for everyone to chat and eat. For tonight’s banquet, Qiao Mei even arranged to buy a lot of seafood so that everyone could have a good meal.

Anyone with good sense could tell that Qiao Mei was being considerate and entertaining them with the best things she could get. Xia Zheng was very appreciative of Qiao Mei’s efforts. Xia Jun looked at Qiao Mei in satisfaction and nodded at her.

However, in the eyes of those with ulterior motives, Qiao Mei was simply showing off her wealth and mocking their family!

Xia Bai and Wang Kun kept looking at Qiao Mei with an unfriendly glare and this attracted the attention of both Xia Jun and Xia Zheng. Xia Zheng said tactfully, “Is there something wrong with your eyes?”

“Father! It’s dusty here. Perhaps that’s causing the two of them to squint their eyes. They’re fine,” An Xin said quickly.

“Alright, then make sure you clean your eyes properly! Don’t let it affect your vision!” Xia Zheng said.

Apart from Xia He’s family, everyone who could make it turned up today. Xia Guang came as well and brought Tang Hui with him. She did not expect her first meeting with Xia Jun to be at such a big occasion.

The Tang family actually had some history with the Xia family. Back in the past, Old Master Tang was transferred to work in the countryside by the government. If Xia Jun had not found a way to transfer Old Master Tang back home, Old Master Tang would definitely have died in that faraway place!

“Hello, Old Master Xia. I’m Tang Hui. It’s a pleasure to meet you. My family is indebted to you. We are doing well now only because of your help in the past. On behalf of my family, I want to say thank you.” After saying that, Tang Hui picked up her glass and downed the wine.

Xia Jun waved his hand to ask Tang Hui to take a seat. He did not remember anything about the Tang family at all. Since Tang Hui said that there was some history between them, then so be it. The truth was that he did not like this woman. At first glance, he felt that Tang Hui was a scheming woman. Xia Guang was a careless man and definitely could not win against Tang Hui.

However, a scheming person was not necessarily a bad one. As long as she used her craftiness for good, Xia Jun would not stop Tang Hui and Xia Guang from seeing each other. After all, no matter how bad she was, could she be worse than Zhou Hua?

“I’ll go and sit over there. You stay here and accompany Old Master Xia,” Tang Hui whispered to Xia Guang.

Xia Xing looked at Tang Hui sulkily. He could not accept the idea of Xia Guang remarrying. His mother was not dead! This woman was full of schemes! She had seduced his father!

Qiao Mei quickly gestured for Tang Hui to sit beside her. Xia Bai looked at Tang Hui’s simple clothes and deduced that she must be from a poor family.
