1695 Break His Legs

"I'm here to send you home. Isn't this such a nice surprise?" Qiao Mei looked at Xia He and said with a smile.

"When did you learn to drive? Xia Zhe is at ease with letting you drive such a big car alone? Where did you get this car? When did you come back, why didn't I know?" Xia He had many questions for Qiao Mei.

During this period of time, she had been busy with the art troupe's next performance. She also had to guide the newbies who just joined the art troupe. From time to time, Xia He also had to go to the factory to help Qian'e deal with all those messy matters at the factory. She was so busy that she did not have time to go back to Xu Lan's place, so she did not know much about Qiao Mei's recent news.

"Get in the car first. I'll tell you on the way," Qiao Mei said as she patted the front passenger seat.

Xia He got into the front passenger seat nervously and buckled her seatbelt properly. She gripped the part of the seatbelt in front of her chest tightly and did not even dare to breathe loudly.

"Go… go ahead and drive!" Xia He said cautiously.

Qiao Mei drove off skillfully. It took a long time before Xia He realized that Qiao Mei really knew how to drive and was not joking with her. She only managed to relax then.

"Tell me! When did you learn how to drive! Why don't I know that you know how to drive?" Xia He questioned.

"For a short period recently," Qiao Mei said.

An entire afternoon could probably be considered a short period…

On the way, Qiao Mei told Xia He about the things which happened recently. She also told Xia He about those things in the military family compound, especially about Miao Le and Zhuang Zhuang. Qiao Mei gave Xia He all the details and complained for a long time.

"This is too much! How dare she use such a young child to threaten you!" Xia He said angrily.

"What can I do? That child is so young and I'm also a mother. I really can't bear to see him go hungry like that. If this was in the past, I definitely wouldn't care!" Qiao Mei said firmly.

Perhaps after becoming a mother, she had developed compassion for everything in the world and her heart was not as hard as before.

"Why don't you stay at home for a while? Once everyone knows that you're not going back soon, she naturally won't go and look for you after a while," Xia He said.

"Then the vegetables in my courtyard will die! I can hide for a while, but I won't be able to hide for the rest of my life. Forget it… It's just cooking a bit more for the child to eat. It's not a big deal. I'll definitely think of a way to make them stop coming to my house. Don't worry," Qiao Mei said.

Xia He pondered for a moment and said, "Can it be that… she has taken a fancy to my younger brother?"

"You may be right. I've been observing her recently. She does secretly look at Xia Zhe for a long time, but Xia Zhe seems to despise her," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Even now, she could still remember Xia Zhe's sullen face. Whenever he saw Miao Le, he would look unhappy. He found her to be very annoying. Every time he went home with an intention to get intimate with Qiao Mei, Miao Le was always there, giving him no choice but to suppress his longing.

"My younger brother definitely won't do those messy things. If Xia Zhe really doesn't know what's good for him and does such a heartless thing, I'll break his legs! I'll make him stay in bed for the rest of his life! I'll chop him up! I'll make him a eunuch!" Xia He said fiercely.

Qiao Mei could instantly feel goosebumps rising on her arms. Xia He was really capable of doing such a thing.

It did not take long for them to reach Xu Lan's house. Qiao Mei skillfully reversed the car into the garage. The people at the guard post were dumbfounded. A few days ago, she still needed a chauffeur to drive her back, but she could actually drive herself around now. Furthermore, she was as skilled as those of them who had been driving for more than 10 years. It was unbelievable.

"Mei Mei! You're finally back! You don't know how worrisome Xia Fan is! He cries every night! I have no choice but to wrap him in your clothes so that he feels better," Xu Lan said wearily.

This was also the first time Qiao Mei had encountered such a problem. In the past, Xia Fan and Xia Xing were not very clingy. They had never pinned for Feng Hua during the time when Feng Hua took care of them. Could it be that it was because she had been taking care of the children on her own during this period of time, so the children had developed some form of dependency on her?

"It's been hard on you, Mother. I'll take a look at the children first." Qiao Mei first went to the bathroom to wash and disinfect her hands before going to the children's room.
