After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! Chapter 2432: Prepare for a Family Meeting
Chapter 2432: Prepare for a Family eting
“I don’t think so. Xia Yuan is very adamant about marrying Zhou Xi and she has already cut ties with the Zhou family. It turns out that she is infertile. I think that they will agree to take care of the child in the end,” Xia Zhe said, analyzing the situation.
Qiao i felt a little miffed for a mont. She did not know why the child annoyed her so much. Although she knew that she should not bla the innocent child for what happened back then, the image of Xia Yang almost on his last breath still lingered in her mind. She could not forgive the child, nor could she bring herself to like him.
“I’ll ask Cousin Xia Wan tomorrow and see what she thinks of it. After all, it’s her family’s issue,” Qiao i said with a sigh.
Xia Zhe could already tell that Qiao i had recently decided to take over the managent of the Xia family’s household affairs. Xia Wen had been in charge of this for a long ti, but that was mainly because Tan Jing could not manage the various relationships in the Xia family. In the Xia family, the wife of the family head had always been in charge of the household affairs. Mo Zhu was a scholarly person. She did not like to handle these trivial matters nor could she handle them well, so everyone agreed that Qiao i was the most suitable candidate for this position.
“If you feel that it’s too tiring, we can discuss it with Eldest Brother again to distribute various duties to everyone. All of us have to work hard for the Xia family. You can’t be the only one bearing sole responsibility,” Xia Zhe said with heartache.
“I can do it. Eldest Brother did it alone for so many years. I’ve only just started! Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing. Besides, you will have to handle our family’s dealings with external parties. I’m not good at that. We must work together to make the Xia family bigger and stronger!” Qiao i said confidently.
“Sure!” Xia Zhe said.
The two of them soon fell asleep. The next day, Xia Wan ca over to Qiao i’s house.
“Does the child have a na?” Qiao i asked.
“My mother says to call him An An first and that we can give him a full na later. She says that there’s no hurry,” Xia Wan said.
When Qiao i saw Xia Wan’s expression, she knew that Xia Wan did not like the idea of Liu Fen taking care of An An. In fact, Xia Wan did not even want An An to even appear in front of the Xia family!
“Is Xia Yuan’s issue settled already?” Qiao i continued.
“They’ve already registered their marriage, but they don’t intend to hold a banquet. Xia Yuan is worried that the Zhou family will co and cause trouble. If that happens, it will be so embarrassing for the Xia family. Therefore, our family discussed it with Grandfather and we decided not to organize anything. The most important thing is for our whole family to be safe and sound,” Xia Wan said.
“Does Xia Yuan… agree with what your mother has in mind?” Qiao i asked.
Xia Wan sighed. Actually, she could not tell for sure. After all, Xia Yuan was not married yet when Liu Fen decided to adopt An An for Xia Yuan. She did not know if Xia Yuan and Zhou Xi would think differently after they got married.
“Alright, I can see what’s going on. It seems that this is an ill-fated relationship! However, it’s best if you can get Second Aunt-in-law to sign a contract with Xia Yuan to guarantee that An An will not have any share of the family’s assets and that An An will only be entitled to a reasonable amount of money for his living expenses,” Qiao i said.
“Can it be that you suspect…” Xia Wan was a smart person and imdiately understood what Qiao i ant.
“Yes, we have to be wary of others. After all, that child’s parents are not people to be trifled with.” Qiao i told Xia Wan about what Xia Zhe found out recently. Xia Wan was so shocked that she broke out in a cold sweat. She suddenly had a bad feeling about everything.
“Qiao i… Do you think they want both the child and the money… Do you think they’re setting a trap for us and will end up saying that we abducted their child?” Xia Wan said.
Qiao i had not considered this possibility, but she could not rule it out. After all, there were no surveillance caras in this era and the police relied on witnesses and evidence to solve cases. Furthermore, parents who lost their children usually garnered a lot of sympathy from the public as most people would feel sorry for them.
“You’re right. This matter must be dealt with seriously. I’ll call the director of the orphanage now and ask her to provide us with proof that this child used to stay in that orphanage,” Qiao i said.
After making the phone call, the situation did not improve. The director of the orphanage was unable to provide proof. The orphanage was also afraid of having to undertake unnecessary responsibility if there should be any issues. There were still so many pitiful children in the orphanage and the director did not want to take on any risks that would end up affecting the children.
Qiao i could fully understand the orphanage director’s decision, but… it would be very difficult to persuade Liu Fen. It seed that they would have to hold a family eting to discuss this matter with everyone.
“I hope Grandfather won’t get angry because of this… This year has been exceptionally eventful. If Grandfather finds out that my mother has insisted on adopting An An, he might even faint from anger,” Xia Wan said.
“No one is able to dissuade Second Aunt-in-law now. Even if Xia Yuan doesn’t want to take care of An An, Second Aunt-in-law has already made up her mind to bring him up herself. For the sake of our future, we have to eliminate the root of the problem. We can’t ruin the happiness of all the other Xia family’s children because of this matter,” Qiao i said firmly.
