1135 The Xu Lan of the Past



"I'm going to kill you! Bian Zhuo, you're inhumane! I'm going to kill you! Ah!!!"

Just as Xia He and Qiao Mei were about to whisper to each other, Yang Xin's sharp scream could be heard from inside the room, followed by the sound of many things falling to the ground. It immediately alarmed the surrounding nurses.

The security officer hurriedly stood in front of Qiao Mei's group to protect them. Even if someone rushed out of the ward later, they would not get hurt.

"Let's go quickly and not get involved with a lunatic. What if she really throws all caution to the wind? She may hurt someone if she rushes out," Xia He said worriedly.

"Let's go, let's go quickly!" Xu Lan called out to the security officer and asked him to wheel Qiao Mei away quickly. The three of them returned to Xia Fang's office in a panic. By then, it was already Xia Fang's lunch break.

The security officer did not follow them in. Instead, he stood at the door and continued to stand guard. Xu Lan and Xia He quickly sat down on the chairs to take a breather. Qiao Mei sat in the wheelchair and looked at Xia Fang obediently, worried that Xia Fang would get angry with her for disobeying instructions.

"Did you get chased by a dog? What happened to all of you?" Xia Fang asked curiously as she drank water.

"Something like that, and it's a rabid dog at that!" Xia He said.

"She's probably agitated by what I said. I didn't do it on purpose. It's their fault for forcing us to the edge," Xu Lan said innocently.

Although the couple both had lovers outside, Yang Xin never knew that Bian Zhuo already had two children. Moreover, Bian Ding also knew about this matter and had bought houses for Bian Zhuo's two mistresses. The two women did not want to take over Yang Xin's position. They just wanted money.

Yang Xin had her suspicions about this in the past, but she let it remain as just suspicions. As long as she did not investigate the matter, then it was not true. Everything remained fine as long as she chose not to believe it. However, hearing it from someone else's mouth was such a great humiliation! This was even worse than killing her.

It was Xu Lan who shattered her fantasy about her current life and forced her to face reality.

"Aunt! You didn't see how suave my mother is today! She's simply too cool! I've never seen my mother like this!" Xia He bragged excitedly.

Xia Fang glanced at Xu Lan and said, "Your mother even got into fights when she was young. What hasn't she done before? Back then, she brought me with her everywhere."

"Ah? Really? Aunt, tell us the story quickly!" Qiao Mei widened her eyes and looked at Xu Lan. She did not expect Xu Lan to have such a side to her!

She had always thought that Xu Lan was quiet and dignified. Today was really an eye-opener for her!

"Alright, alright. Don't tell the children about those impulsive matters from my youth. Come and examine Qiao Mei to check if there's anything unusual. I've been feeling concerned for the past two days!" Xu Lan said worriedly.

Xia Fang did a simple examination and did not find anything unusual. Seeing that it was almost time for Qiao Mei to give birth, she still wanted to persuade Qiao Mei to come in earlier and stay in the ward. However, her previous attempts to persuade Qiao Mei were all ineffective. She decided not to say anything now, afraid that Qiao Mei would get annoyed. Qiao Mei probably already knew what to do and would naturally come in once she was ready.

"She's fine. Just don't eat too much greasy food these few days. Is there any news from Xia Zhe? Do we know when he will be back?" Xia Fang asked.

The other three women did not look too good. Ever since Xia Zhe left on his last mission, he had not sent any news to the family. Qiao Mei had no idea at all. Based on the original owner of the body's memories, Xia Zhe should have died in that massive earthquake. However, now that she had changed Xia Zhe's fate, she did not know if Xia Zhe was alive or dead this time.

Yet, Xia Mao kept telling her that Xia Zhe was fine. It was just that the mission was confidential and it was inconvenient for him to talk to his family over the phone or to send items to his family. Therefore, Xia Mao could only ask around within the army for more information. He had the idea that Qiao Mei's 1,000-year-old ginseng juice was with Xia Zhe, so Xia Zhe would be able to cope even if there were any accidents.

"Don't worry, he'll be back. Isn't it good enough as long as he's fine?" Qiao Mei said gently.

"It's good that you think that way. It's just that the wife of a military man is destined to have a harder time than ordinary women. Even if Xia Zhe is not back, there's still us! We'll all accompany you and won't leave you," Xia Fang said.
