Chapter 1476 Like Women
A total of 10 people! She had never expected to live like one of those protagonists in television dramas. In the future, she would become the kind of person who was surrounded by bodyguards when she went out!
She did not have to worry about her own safety anymore! She also did not have to worry about the children's safety. Everyone in the family would be assigned a personal bodyguard.
"So many people live near me? Why haven't I noticed any of them?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.
"They must have been arranged to stay at various locations in the alley. From now on, they will be in charge of the safety of your family," Xia Mao said.
Recently, Qiao Mei either locked herself in a room to study flowers and trees or stayed at home to make clothes and shoes. She had helpers to take care of the household chores and she did not need to go out at all.
No wonder Feng Hua told her that she had seen many new faces in the alley recently. It turned out that they were all people posted there by Xia Mao!
"How about this! I'll pay for their rent! If there's really no other way, I can even buy the houses they stay in!" Qiao Mei said generously.
When Xia Wen and Xia Mao heard this, they did not know whether to laugh or cry. Since Qiao Mei did not lack money, they would not fight with her on this. She was a really stubborn person and her main wish was to buy up all the houses in the alley. Her dream was to buy more houses and become a landlady as soon as possible, so that she just needed to sit back and collect rent.
"Mei Mei, come with me for a while," Xu Lan looked at Qiao Mei and said mysteriously.
"Alright," Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Mei obediently followed Xu Lan to the bedroom upstairs. As soon as she entered, Xu Lan pulled Qiao Mei to the bed and sat her down. She looked at Qiao Mei curiously and asked, "Do you have any information about the latest situation with your eldest brother recently!"
"Situation? What's going on? Did he get another promotion and a raise?" Qiao Mei said.
"No! It's about… his love life. Is there a beautiful girl who likes him, or someone whom he has a good impression of? Xia He came back to tell me about this! But we were in a hurry and didn't talk about it in detail. Tell me what's going on!" Xu Lan said anxiously.
It was not that Xu Lan wanted to be a busybody, but Xia Wen was really bad at this aspect of his life.
Xia Wen was very capable, but he did not have good taste in women. When he was in school, Xia Wen had already started dating! He had an ambiguous relationship with a girl from the neighboring class, and his homeroom teacher had even asked to meet Xu Lan to find out more about the situation.
If that girl was a nice and honest person, Xu Lan would not stop Xia Wen from going ahead. However, that girl was an indecent person whose relatives were all local hooligans! How could Xia Wen date such a person? In the end, Xu Lan forced Xia Wen to study hard and skip a grade so that he could graduate earlier and stay away from that girl. As time passed, Xia Wen forgot about this matter.
Unexpectedly, Tan Jing appeared after that. Therefore, this time round, Xu Lan wanted to be very careful about this matter. She could not be muddle-headed again and allow a nasty woman to enter the Xia family!
"Huh… If Xia He told you about it, then it must be Xia He who has taken a fancy to this girl," Qiao Mei said helplessly.
"What! How can Xia He!" Xu Lan looked at Qiao Mei in shock and jumped up. Qiao Mei could clearly feel that Xu Lan was all tensed up like an angry lion.
"No, no! Oh my… That day, Xia He went to Eldest Brother's office to look for him and she happened to run into that girl. Xia He got along very well with that girl and brought her back to my place for dinner. The gist of the story is that Xia He wants to matchmake the two of them. So it's Xia He who has taken a fancy to this girl and wants the girl to become her sister-in-law!" Qiao Mei quickly explained.
It was only then that Xu Lan could relax. When she first heard that Xia Wen had found someone he liked, she felt very happy. Now that she knew it was only a misunderstanding, she felt a little sad.
"I wonder if there is any girl who is willing to be with Xia Wen," Xu Lan said sadly.
When Xia He got a divorce, Xu Lan was not very affected. Back then, it was Xia He who was bent on marrying into the Kong family and it was only a matter of time before she got a divorce. Xu Lan always thought that Xia He was asking for trouble by getting married to that man. However, she did not expect Xia Wen to also get a divorce not long after. After that, she began to reflect on whether it was because she had not taught her children well.
