Xia He hurriedly got up to help Kong Li up. She had forgotten that she had made arrangements to have a meal with Deng Fan’s parents today. His parents already knew that Xia He had returned from overseas, but because she had a reunion session with the Xia family on the first day, they did not ask her to go home to visit them.

Ever since Xia He returned, she had been plagued by a lot of trivial matters.

Deng Fan and her were worried that Kong Lu would find his way to the Deng family’s house, so Deng Fan had personally gone to fetch his parents to their house today.

Deng Fan would usually use one of the cars from Qiao Mei’s factory. However, Chi Ze and the others needed the cars today and there was no spare car which Deng Fan could borrow, so Deng Fan had gone to ask Xia Wen for help.

Old Madam Kong realized that there must be important guests coming. She immediately lay down on the floor and refused to leave. Kong Li also hugged Xia He’s thigh and refused to let go. The two of them wept as they tried to persuade Xia He to go back to their family. It was such a dramatic scene.

Jiang Shu held on to Deng Rui’s arm and the two of them stood at the door for a long time without entering the house. Deng Fan quickly brought his parents to the study. Inside the study, there were a few calligraphy and paintings which he bought recently, as well as the gifts which Xia He bought for his parents from Country M. This was a good chance to show all these things to them.

“Can the two of you shut up! You’re making me dizzy!” Qiao Mei said angrily to Old Madam Kong.

“Who do you think you are! I’m talking to Xia He! What right do you have to order me around!” Old Madam Kong shouted back loudly.

By now, Xia He could not take it anymore. These two could say anything about any of the Xia family members except for Qiao Mei. This was an unwritten rule in the Xia family. Qiao Mei was the person they cherished the most. None

of the family members could bear to say harsh words to her, so how could they let others insult her as they pleased?

“Luo Yu! Drag the two of them out! They’re not welcome in my house!” Xia He stared at Old Madam Kong and continued, “If you continue to be so relentless, I’ll call the police and get them to arrest you. Also, Kong Lu has a pending promotion coming up at work. You have to be more careful. Otherwise, your entire family will have to go back and do farming!’

The moment Old Madam Kong heard that Kong Lu might lose his job, she quickly stopped fooling around and left dejectedly with Kong Li. This promotion was a rare opportunity for Kong Lu. If he did well, he would have a bright future!

Even if Xia He did not get back with Kong Lu in the end, they could still suck his “blood”. However, if he lost his job, the entire family would suffer.

After making sure that Old Madam Kong and Kong Li had left, Xia Wen sat down in the living room and said, “Do you need me to get someone to do something about Kong Lu’s job?”

“Let’s wait and see. I don’t really want to force them into a corner. It’s not easy for Kong Lu as well. I heard that he had really fought hard for the opportunity this time. If the mother-and-daughter duo still comes around to cause trouble again, then I will ask you to help me settle this matter,” Xia He said with a sigh.

“Alright, I hear you,” Xia Wen said in understanding.

Qiao Mei frowned and looked at Xia Wen as she asked, “Eldest Brother, you clearly know that someone is causing trouble in the house. Why did you still bring Deng Fan’s parents in?”

As the saying went, one should not wash dirty linen in public. Given that Xia He had stayed in Country M for two years and left Deng Fan alone in the capital, her current parents-in-law were probably not very happy with her. Now that they witnessed her ex-mother-in-law coming to cause trouble, they probably had an even worse impression of Xia He.

“If Deng Fan’s parents decide to make things difficult for Xia He just because of this, then she should really think about whether she should get out of this relationship,” Xia Wen said.

“That makes sense,” Qiao Mei said after some thought.

The three of them had a very brief chat before Xia Wen and Qiao Mei went back to their own homes. Qiao Mei asked Xu Kang to go to Xia He’s place to help out with the dinner. Since it was a reunion dinner, there was probably more work involved.

Xia He wanted to find an opportunity to explain the situation today to Deng Fan’s parents, but everyone in the Deng family seemed to have an unspoken mutual understanding not to mention the incident at all. They told Xia He that they really liked the gifts she brought back from Country M.

Jiang Shu took Xia He’s hands and stroked them as she said, “Xiao He, look at your hands. They’re a little rough. Did you have it tough in Country M?”

Xia He had to keep an eye on the farm every day. Sometimes, when it got too busy, she would also help to prepare the feed for the livestock. Occasionally, she would get scratched in the process, but it did not really bother her.

“I’m fine. Everything is fine over there. I even learned a lot of new things!” Xia He said with a smile.

“That’s good. Your father and I are so worried that you won’t be able to eat or sleep well over there. Your father even bought a lot of books about Country M to brush up on his knowledge so that he can ask Deng Fan to pass useful advice to you,” Jiang Shu said..
