After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2330: Being Stalked

"What's so difficult about that? Find a time when both sets of parents are free, make a reservation at a restaurant and then sit down to talk about the wedding. That's all," Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.

"Sister Qiao Mei, I'm from a broken family. My father and mother each have their own family, so... my family's situation is more complicated," Zhou Xi said honestly.

Qiao Mei sat up immediately. When did this happen? Why was it that I did not know anything about it? The background check done earlier clearly indicated that Zhou Xi's parents were blissful and loving together! This Yao Nian! He could not even do such a simple thing!

Xia Yuan quickly tried to smooth things over, saying, "It only happened recently! I don't care about the state of Zhou Xi's family!"

"I didn't say anything. Don't be so nervous," Qiao Mei said calmly.

This matter had become a little difficult to handle. The main thing was to find out what Zhou Xi's parents thought about all this. It was useless for them to fret about it here.

"My idea is... to just go ahead and get married..." Zhou Xi said.

"Absolutely not! Second Aunt-in-law definitely won't agree!" Xia He said immediately.

Liu Fen was very particular about such issues. She only agreed to let Xia Yuan and Zhou Xi get to know each other better after she heard that Zhou Xi had a good family background. If they told Liu Fen about this situation, Liu Fen definitely would not allow Zhou Xi to marry into her family!

"Don't be anxious. This matter can't be rushed anyway. Let's leave it at that for now. The two of you haven't really been together for long. If you mention this to the family members now, they won't be able to accept it," Qiao Mei said.

"Alright." After Xia Yuan said that, everyone fell silent for a while. Xia Yuan left with Zhou Xi not long after. Before they left, Qiao Mei gave the painting to Zhou Xi, hoping that the couple would be able to stay together in the end.

Xia He looked at Qiao Mei and said, "I think I don't have to open that jewelry box. It feels like I'll have to return it to her sooner or later."

"I had felt that she was not that simple. It looks like my feelings are right. Let's talk about it when the time comes. I can't be bothered to care so much. Go to bed early!" Qiao Mei said wearily.

She had to deal with too many things today and could not continue to tire herself out. She went to bed and slept until the next afternoon.

Li Gui had hired a new chef for the restaurant recently at a very high salary. In the past, this chef would only cook for fun when he felt bored. If not for the fact that he had some issues at home, he would not have come out to work for others.

There was no need for Li Gui to busy herself at the restaurant anymore. She only needed to stay at home and count her earnings. When she had some time, she could go for a holiday.

Xia Yuan and Xia Wen got off work early today. They were quite sick of the food in the workplace's canteen, so they decided to go to Li Gui's restaurant for a change and to try out the culinary skills of the new chef. The two of them went to pick Qiao Mei up to go to the restaurant together.

When they reached the restaurant entrance, they saw Wang Tian standing at the door and chatting with someone. When she saw them coming, she greeted them very warmly.

"Sister Qiao Mei! Brother Xia Wen! Brother Xia Yuan~" Wang Tian yelled out in joy. When she called out Xia Yuan's name, she said it in such a sweet tone that it gave Qiao Mei and Xia Wen goosebumps.

"This girl is really quite persistent. She has even made her way to your restaurant," Xia Wen lamented.

"I suddenly feel that this is going to be an uncomfortable meal," Xia Yuan said helplessly as he held his head.

Qiao Mei wanted to ignore the girl and just walk in, but she did not expect Wang Tian to block her way. Wang Tian asked excitedly, "Sister Qiao Mei! Are you still hiring! I want to work here! I can be a waitress!"

"There's no vacancy," Qiao Mei said with a fake smile.

Wang Tian immediately pointed at the girl beside her and said, "But isn't she going home next week to get married and have children? She says that her position is still open!"

The waitstaff immediately blushed. She wanted to explain herself to Qiao Mei, but Wang Tian was telling the truth and it was not something she could refute.

"I don't think so. Don't even think about it. We are not hiring," Qiao Mei repeated.

"Why! I feel that I can do a good job! Just let me try! I can even do it for free! Put me on probation for one month!" Wang Tian said excitedly.

The eldest daughter of the Wang family who owned the famous bun shop wanted to work for Qiao Mei as a waitress. If the Wang family members knew about this, who knew how they would badmouth Qiao Mei behind her back.

"With your qualifications, you can get any job. Why do you have to work here? Don't you think it's a waste of talent?" Qiao Mei said.

"No, no! Look at the guests here! They're all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital! If I can get to know even one or two people here, I'll have more ways to get rich in the future!" Wang Tian said excitedly.
