Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Initially, Qiao Mei did not want to get involved in the matter between Xia Guang and Tang Hui. Relationships could not be forced and should progress naturally! However, seeing Xia Xing’s attitude towards her, she did not want those people to have a peaceful life!
“Perhaps in another two months or so,” Tang Hui said, making an estimate.
“Are you telling me the truth? Or are you just brushing me off?” Qiao Mei asked skeptically.
What Tang Hui said was not a lie. Ever since Zhou Hua caused trouble the last time, Xia Guang felt very apologetic towards Tang Hui and sent her to and from work every day. He was a lot more proactive than before.
She had originally thought that the woman whom Xia Guang could not forget must have been a good wife, but she did not expect the woman to be such a shrew! After knowing this, she was fully confident that she would be able to marry into the Xia family.
Later in the night, Qiao Mei showed everyone to their rooms. Xia You did not want to sleep alone, so she sneaked up to the master bedroom on the top floor to have a chat with Qiao Mei.
“Knock, knock, knock”
“Who is it?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Guess who I am I’m here, my little darling ” Xia You stood at the door and said happily.
“Don’t stand outside in the wind! Come in quickly!” Qiao Mei said with a resigned smile.
The moment Xia You entered the room, she was stunned. Was this the legendary bedroom where one could run a marathon? The floor area looked to be at least 300 square meters!
“Why why do you want to turn the entire floor into the master bedroom? Did you remove all the walls?” Xia You asked in disbelief.
“Yeah, I prefer an open concept,” Qiao Mei said as she sat in front of the window in enjoyment.
This house had a total of four floors. The basement was specially used to store Qiao Mei’s treasures. The ground floor was where the tea room, meeting room, dining room, kitchen and living room were located. On the second floor, there was a big room for Qiao Mei to store the treasures that needed to be protected from humidity, as well as the guest bedrooms. The children’s rooms were on the third floor.
There were still many empty rooms on the third floor. Qiao Mei planned to turn the rooms into a computer room, two piano rooms, a dance room and a gym in the future. She would do it slowly as there was no real hurry. She could also do up a playroom specially for the children.
The entire fourth floor was Qiao Mei’s master bedroom. There was more than just the bed in the master bedroom. She had built a big balcony so that she could bask in the sun during the day. There was also a huge wardrobe and dressing room, as well as a bathroom with a jacuzzi. In short, the room had everything she needed.
“This whole setup makes me feel like buying a villa too. Tell me, how much did you spend in total?” Xia You asked curiously.
Qiao Mei calmly extended a finger and Xia You probed, “One million dollars?”
“One million dollars to buy the land and two million dollars for the renovation. The rare and precious plants in the courtyard are free since the seeds are mine,” Qiao Mei said.
“Heavens! Three to four million! You’re so willing to splurge!” Xia You said in shock.
Looking at the amount of money her company could earn every month, she would need six years to save enough money to buy a villa like this one. Moreover, that was only if the property price did not increase at all during these six years.
“Don’t tell me you’re here to talk to me about money?” Qiao Mei said.
“I just don’t want to stay on the same floor as those people. If not for the fact that Second Granduncle is quite a nice person, I would have gone home a long time ago!” Xia You said.
“I heard that Xia Chu will be here tomorrow. Do you know anything about him?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I heard from my mother that Aunt-in-law wants to find a wife for Xia Chu! He’s not that young anymore, he’s two years older than me! Aunt-in-law has set up many blind dates for him, but he just doesn’t want to go. No one knows why he hasn’t found himself a wife after so many years,” Xia You said.
“I guess he hasn’t met anyone he likes,” Qiao Mei said.
“Who knows. I reckon that this problem will fall into your lap in the end,” Xia You said.
“Why? What does he have to do with me?” Qiao Mei asked in puzzlement.
“I just heard about this from my mother today. An Xin said that she needed someone to persuade her son. She asked everyone in the family for help and they all rejected her tactfully. When it was Eldest Brother’s turn, he said that she should ask you to give it a try. He said that you are the one who manages to convince all the Xia family’s children to get married,” Xia You said.
“What!” Qiao Mei looked at Xia You in disbelief.
“I’m not lying to you! Eldest Brother betrayed you!” Xia You raised three fingers to the sky and made an oath.
“Xia Wen!!! He actually pushed this issue to me! I’ll remember this. Sooner or later, I’ll make him pay it back!” Qiao Mei said in annoyance.
Xia You lay down on the bed and laughed loudly. Ever since Xia Wen and Tan Jing got a divorce, he had become much more cheerful and even joked around with the family members. In the past, this would have been impossible. Xia You had always termed Xia Wen as “the little old man” since they were young!
