After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1315 Not Effective

The four of them just sat quietly in the living room. Other than the sounds coming from the television, the only other sound came from the clock on the wall.

Sun Dai seemed to have experienced such scenarios very often. She appeared very calm and did not take the initiative to talk to Xia Zhe, nor did she show Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei any attitude. She just accompanied them quietly like an invisible person who did not exist.

Xia Zhe knew Zheng Su’s temper very well. He was a typical stubborn person. As long as he felt that he was right, he would stick to his guns and go all the way. He did not care even if he turned out to be wrong and he would not listen to anyone’s advice.

In the words of the people from Qiao Mei’s village, this was a “stubborn donkey”!

This was also the reason why even though people like Xia Mao were still fighting at the frontline at such an advanced age, Zheng Su was holed up in his house even with his status as Xia Zhe’s mentor. If not for Zheng Su’s talent, he would have left the army even earlier.

“What have you been doing recently, Mentor?” Qiao Mei could not stand the silence and asked Zheng Su in a sweet voice.

Unexpectedly, her usual sweetness, which had never failed before with Xia Jun and Qiao Qiang, was not effective on Zheng Su!

“You don’t have to address me as Mentor. I’m not your mentor. After Xia Zhe married you, Xia Zhe is no longer my mentee. Besides, I have never taught you anything so you don’t have to address me like this. If you have something to say, just say it quickly. If there’s nothing else you want to say, then get lost,” Zheng Su said moodily.

In Zheng Su’s eyes, Xia Zhe was ruining his own future. Even if he did not want to marry Zheng Yuan, he should at least find a girl who was beneficial to him, even if it was that girl from the Zhong family!

In the end, Xia Zhe found a village girl who could only bear children for him, but could not help the family with anything else! She had not even gone to school, so how was she going to educate her children in the future? It was simply nonsense.

When he decided to woo Sun Dai back in their days, it was because he was attracted to how educated and knowledgeable she was, given that she came from a scholarly family. As Zheng Su often had to carry out missions in the army and could not be home with his children often, he felt much more at ease having a wife like Sun Dai. This was the same set of principles he applied to Xia Zhe.

Ever since Xia Zhe married Qiao Mei, he had basically returned home every two months. This did not bode well for Xia Zhe’s career! This woman would ruin Xia Zhe’s future!

Among the few grandchildren of the Xia family, only Xia Mao’s children were the most promising and were even comparable to Xia Jun back in his heydays. However, Xia Wen and Xia He did not have any children and both their marriages were a mess. Xia Zhe was the only child with a promising career in the military, but he had now ruined his own future. Was he trying to destroy the Xia family’s future?

“Uncle Zheng, are you angry?” Qiao Mei asked on purpose.

Xia Zhe hurriedly grabbed Qiao Mei’s hand and shook his head slightly. No matter what, the two men had been mentor and mentee in the past and she should not be so rude to his mentor. Qiao Mei patted Xia Zhe’s hand to reassure him.

She had her way of dealing with this kind of stick-in-the-mud. In her other life as a lawyer who fought cases in court, she had encountered many old people like him. They would use their age and life experience as an excuse to start giving pointers to the younger generation. Qiao Mei hated this kind of people the most! She must teach Zheng Su a lesson!

“Can’t you tell if I’m angry or not?” Zheng Su said with a frown.

“Uncle Zheng, what are you angry about? Are you angry because Xia Zhe has a happy life now, or angry because you feel that Xia Zhe does not deserve to be so happy, or angry because the person who’s living happily with Xia Zhe is not Zheng Yuan?” Qiao Mei asked while acting innocently.

These questions immediately made Zheng Su agitated. As Xia Zhe’s mentor, he naturally hoped that Xia Zhe would have a good life and a happy family. As for the last question…

Zheng Su admitted that he had his own selfish motives, but it was all for Xia Zhe’s own good! If Xia Zhe and Zheng Yuan had ended up together, their future would be exceptionally bright!

“So it seems that Uncle Zheng is unhappy about the last thing,” Qiao Mei said definitively.

“What does this have to do with you? Are you here to show off to me?” Zheng Su asked.

“It’s indeed none of my business, but we’re also here to inform Uncle Zheng that we’re doing quite well. Thank you for your concern, Uncle Zheng. When the children are older, we’ll bring them over for you to take a look. The two babies look a lot like Xia Zhe when he was young,” Qiao Mei said.

Zheng Su muttered softly, “It has nothing to do with me. There’s no need to show me…”
