After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 1714 Cling to Our Family

Zhao Wu and Qiao Qiang had loads to talk about. The two of them also drank a lot tonight and were just short of taking an oath in the moonlight to beco sworn brothers! Zhao Wu was given a room in the backyard part of the house. Qiao i and Xia Zhe returned to the front yard and they had barely sat down when they received a call from Xu Lan.

"Mother, why are you calling so late? We just got ho. I will be going back to visit you tomorrow," Qiao i said.

"Sigh… You have to co back tomorrow even if you don't want to. Your eldest maternal aunt is up to no good again. She actually wants to introduce a partner to Xia Wen! Even though Xia Wen and the Mo family's girl are already about to get engaged!" Xu Lan said in frustration.

"What? Eldest Aunt Xu is coming over?" Qiao i asked.

"Yes! It's that eldest sister of mine! I'm really about to die of anger. So ti ago, when you weren't at ho, she ca to cause trouble once. She said she'd hang herself in our house if we won't et the girl she wants to introduce to us! I really have no choice but to ask her to bring the girl over for us to take a look. Actually I know the kid. She's quite a nice girl and she's also related to . She's not suitable for Xia Wen," Xu Lan said helplessly.

This matter was indeed a difficult one to handle. If it was Zhou Luo coming over, it would be easy to get rid of her. However, Xu Ju was Xu Lan's biological older sister after all. It was not appropriate for them to say harsh words and sever ties with her.

"Didn't our harsh words about wanting a divorce last ti suppress them?" Qiao i said.

"A few days after she went ho, she realized that we were lying to her. It is also one of the reasons why things are such a ss now," Xu Lan said.

"Mother, don't be anxious. I'll think of a solution when I get there tomorrow. You must have been worried about this for a long ti. Sleep well tonight and leave everything to and Xia Zhe," Qiao i said gently.

Xu Lan told Qiao i everything that had happened recently, not missing out on any details. After hanging up the phone, Qiao i sat in the study and looked at the moon outside. This was a really difficult matter to handle.

Although Xu Lan was an unyielding person, she was still unable to do anything to hurt her own flesh and blood. Not only did she have to protect the Xia family from harm, but she also had to allow Xu Ju to leave the Xia family in a dignified manner and not let the outside world gossip about them. It was really very difficult to maintain that kind of balance.

Qiao i could not think of any solution. She suddenly rembered the luminous pearl which she had soaked in the ginseng juice before she left. Perhaps there was so energy in that luminous pearl that could help her?

Qiao i took out the container secretly. The luminous pearl inside looked different from its original appearance. It glowed brighter and purer than before, but there was still foul air coming out from ti to ti and it needed to be soaked for a while longer.

"Sigh… such a disappointnt. I can't count on you this ti." Qiao i put the luminous pearl back into its spot, feeling disappointed. She tiptoed back to the bedroom to rest so that she would have enough energy to face off with Xu Ju.

The next morning, Qiao i and Xia Zhe drove ho. Before that, they went to Xia He's house to pick up Xia He and Deng Fan.

As soon as they entered the house, they could sll the pungent perfu which Xu Ju always wore. The flowers in the house looked to have withered a little, which was enough to show that Xu Ju had visited many tis.

"Oh my, what day is it today? Why are all your children back? Then will Xia Wen also be back today? Since everyone is here!" Xu Ju said excitedly as she munched on seeds.

"Eldest Brother has been very busy recently and won't be back," Xia He said disdainfully.

"No matter how busy he is, he has to eat. He can't be so busy that he doesn't even co ho. I've been here a few tis but I have never seen him. He should at least show so respect," Xu Ju said unhappily.

Xia He rolled her eyes and muttered softly, "What kind of respect do you want? My eldest brother doesn't co ho because there is soone at ho who's so annoying. Otherwise, why won't he co ho? This woman really doesn't have any self-awareness."

Xu Ju did not hear what Xia He said. She quickly nudged the girl sitting beside her and said, "This is my maternal uncle's daughter, Shi Rui. She's an elentary school teacher."

Shi Rui stood up and greeted everyone in a gentle voice, "Hello, my na is Shi Rui. It's our first ti eting today but I haven't brought any first-eting gifts. I'll definitely bring gifts next ti."

"There's still a next ti… Looks like she's going to cling to our family…" Xia He muttered.

Qiao i bumped Xia He's hand to tell her not to speak anymore. If Xu Ju heard her, there might be trouble!
