After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2338: Moving House

Qiao Mei liked to keep up to date with the latest gossip and even specially asked Yao Nian to go around and collect all the current news for her. As for Xia He, even though she had undergone actual combat training, she had never needed to go into battle. She lived a pampered life and did not even need to get her hands dirty. She could not stand to hear about things like someone killing her biological parents. This was something she did not even want to think about.

What should they do next? This issue with Tan Jing would attract the attention of the various media outlets again. It would not take long for Qiao Mei to be pushed into the limelight once again. Although she was not affected by it, it was still very uncomfortable to be pointed at and talked about whenever she went out.

She hurried to the backyard part of the house to look for Qiao Qiang and said, "Grandfather, let's move house."

"Alright," Qiao Qiang said calmly.

"Grandfather, aren't you going to ask me where I want to move to?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

Qiao Qiang shook his head and said, "I'll go wherever you go."

Qiao Mei was at a loss for words for a moment. Actually, she could tell that Qiao Qiang did not really want to leave this house as he had made many friends around here. Once he left, he would not be able to keep in touch with them as regularly as he did now.

"Grandfather, let's go to Lian City. The air there is good and it's a nice place to live in. Let's bring Grandpa Zhou and Grandpa Wang along with us. I know you are very close with the two of them. Let's go and live there together for a while and we can treat it as if the three of you are on vacation. What do you think?" Qiao Mei suggested.

When Qiao Qiang heard this, he was particularly happy. He immediately called up Old Man Zhou and Old Man Wang. The two of them agreed readily without a second thought. After all, their spouses had passed away a long time ago and their children were all overseas. They were all alone without any companionship, so it made no difference where they lived.

"I feel so lucky to be able to tag along with you. I never expected to be able to live in a seaside villa at this age!" Old Man Wang said happily.

"Let's go and have fun together!" Qiao Qiang said.

Qiao Mei returned to the front yard part of the house and started to pack her things. She did not intend to bring too many things with her this time round. Since they would need to do some shopping when they arrived, she might as well buy all the things they needed there.

Qiao Mei packed up very quickly. Within three days, all of them had moved to the house in Lian City. That house had been left vacant for a long time and the kitchen had been unused for just as long. Qiao Mei decided to cook a nice meal for everyone!

It had been a long time since Qiao Qiang had eaten Qiao Mei's cooking and everyone else also enjoyed the meal. No matter how capable Tan Jing was, she would not be able to find her way here unless she came in from the sea!

After a few days of carefree life, it was obvious that Qiao Mei had gained a little weight. She really wanted to keep enjoying life like this, at least for another month!

However, things did not go as planned. A phone call completely shattered Qiao Mei's hopeful wish.

"Qiao Mei! Please save Xia Xing!" Zhou Hua cried out on the other end of the phone.

Qiao Mei looked at the phone and was also stunned by the voice on the other end of the phone. What happened to Xia Xing? I thought Xia Xing went to join Xia Guang? What could happen in the army camp? Could it be that Shao Yin had caused trouble again? Or did something happen to the child?

"What's wrong?" Qiao Mei asked.

"You... Let's talk about it when you come back to the capital... We can't talk about this issue over the phone..." Zhou Hua said cautiously.

After Qiao Mei hung up the phone, she called Xia Wen. She was worried that Zhou Hua was being manipulated by someone again. What if this was a scam? She did not expect Xia Wen to be overwrought over the same issue at the moment!

"Alright, I'll go back now." Qiao Mei left a letter for Qiao Qiang and drove back to her house in the capital. Everyone was already waiting for her at home. Even Xia Guang and his family were there.

"Tell me what exactly happened?" Qiao Mei asked as she sat at the side.

Everyone turned to look at Shao Yin without saying anything. Zhou Hua, who was sitting in the wheelchair, scolded her angrily, "Now you want to keep quiet! Speak up!"

"I... It's my maternal elder sister. I have always thought that she's quite a decent person. She made use of our family's ties with the Xia family to get a job at the State Tobacco Monopoly Administration, and then... then..." Shao Yin's voice became softer and softer and they almost could not hear her voice anymore.

Zhou Hua roared, "Louder! Why are you so weak! The situation is urgent now! Yet you're still stammering!"

"Then she stole from the government and sold off the items! She sold them for a lot of money..." Shao Yin said.

Everyone took a deep breath. This was such an unexpected disaster. Although it would not hurt the Xia family directly, it would still affect their reputation.

"It's fine. Since your elder sister was the one who did this, then just get her to admit her guilt. What are you so worried about? This matter should not affect Xia Xing," Qiao Mei said

casually.
