“l don’t know either. Elder Sister, I want to sleep now. Please let me off…” Qiao Mei said.
“Fine, fine, fine. I won’t talk anymore. Sleep well!” After saying that, Xia He leaned against the window and looked out.
The plane was filled with exchange students going to Country M. After they saw the scene at the airport just now, their attitudes towards Qiao Mei also changed.
Some people wanted to curry favor with Qiao Mei and think of ways to get close to her. They were not stupid. If they could get close to Qiao Mei, they might be able to achieve meteoric success like Wu Duo and the others! Everyone in the capital knew that Qiao Mei had produced four outstanding university students.
Some people were very disdainful of Qiao Mei’s behavior and thought that she was throwing her weight around and doing this to show off in front of them! These people talked about Qiao Mei even more loudly and it made Xia He wanted to argue with them, but Qiao Mei stopped her.
Qiao Mei did not care about these things at all and was not looking to become friends with anyone here. Her purpose in going overseas was not to study at all. She just wanted to find Xia Zhe as soon as possible and make sure that he was safe and sound.
When the plane landed, it was early in the morning in Country M and the sky was still dark. This was everyone’s first time overseas and no one knew what to do next. Xia Wen had arranged for a butler to pick Qiao Mei up from the airport arrival hall and bring her to the house that he had prepared.
“Hello, Miss Qiao. I’m your butler here. You can call me Butler Xu,” Butler Xu lowered his head and said respectfully.
“Old Xu! It’s actually you! Is it really you? Am I dreaming!” Auntie Wang looked at the butler excitedly.
“Why are you here with them! I thought I would never see you again!” Butler Xu immediately rushed to Auntie Wangs side and hugged her happily.
Auntie Wang, Auntie Cui and Auntie Zhang were the three helpers whom Xia Wen had hired for Qiao Mei. In fact, they had all been to Country M before and their families were also here.
They had relocated with their husbands a long time ago, but their parents were already old and could not travel such a long distance to live with them. Therefore, Auntie Wang and the rest would fly home to visit their parents from time to time. They did not expect to be stuck back home after their last trip there.
“Eldest Brother is really considerate to have made such an arrangement,” Xia He said as she looked at them.
Not only would this make these people feel grateful, but it would also restrain them and make them want to take care of the Xia family members wholeheartedly.
After Qiao Mei disembarked, the first thing she did was to sense if Xia Zhe was nearby. There was no response from the seed and she could not sense his presence. She looked at the darkness in front of her and sighed. She knew that this matter was not going to be that simple. She would take it one step at a time.
“Butler Xu, where do we go now?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I’m so excited that I have forgotten about this matter. I’m really sorry, Miss Qiao. Mr. Xia Wen has already rented a house here. Let’s get in the van and make our way there,” Butler Xu said.
Qiao Mei and her entourage got into the van and arrived at a villa outside the suburbs. It was a small two-story bungalow that was not even as big as Xu Lan’s house.
“Wow! This place is too beautiful! I’ve never seen such a beautiful house!” Xia He said excitedly as she stood at the entrance of the courtyard.
Auntie Wang and the others remained as calm as Qiao Mei. After all, they had lived in this country for a long time and knew that the house in front of them was just a very ordinary villa here. Even the interior design was simply a mish-mash of styles.
“Butler Xu, how much is the monthly rent for such a house?” Qiao Mei asked softly.
“300 dollars a month,” Butler Xu replied in a low voice.
“Then how many months have we paid already?” Qiao Mei asked again.
“Three months,” Butler Xu said.
Qiao Mei nodded in understanding. Within the next few days, they needed to buy necessities and furniture, food and clothing for everyone, as well as items that the children needed. These were all things that needed to be purchased urgently.
Butler Xu had rented the van they took just now. He spent 200 dollars on the rental and even gave the chauffeur a tip of 5 dollars. There were very few taxis in this country. Since they lived in the suburbs, they would need to buy their own car. This was another huge expense and the 10,000 dollars would not last them long..
