2379 Returning Home
"So what happened to our cousin! Did our youngest aunt really give him up? Why didn't our cousin come back with her this time?" Xia He piped up.
"Don't worry, our youngest aunt is not that kind of person. Our cousin is definitely still living with her. Our youngest aunt has become rich now and it looks like she's returning home in glory," Xia Wen said.
Qiao Mei had this feeling that there was something missing, but she could not put her finger on it. After all, none of them knew what Xu Li had experienced out there.
Xia He suddenly thought of something. She looked at Qiao Mei and said, "By the way, Cousin Xia Wan says that she wants to give birth here and also wants to bring Xia Mo back here to study. She doesn't want her family to be separated."
"Then does my uncle agree?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Yes he does. Grandfather says that the Gao family will let the overseas businesses be managed by appointed professionals. They just need to go there occasionally to check on the accounts. Most of their businesses have already been moved back here to the country," Xia He said, repeating what she knew.
Qiao Mei nodded. This could be considered a good thing. Liu Fen did not have to worry about Xia Wan and Xia Mo anymore. The only thing was that when Xia Mo returned and saw Xia Wan's pregnant belly… no one could anticipate if she could accept it.
The next day, Gao Long came to look for Qiao Mei to discuss the matter of buying a house. He knew that Qiao Mei was an expert in this field. However, his intention was not to buy a house from an agent, but from Qiao Mei.
"Uncle, you're trying to take advantage of me. All my houses have been renovated and I'm only renting them out, not selling them," Qiao Mei said.
"Don't you see I just want our family to live close to one another? The nice houses nearby are all in your possession. If I don't buy from you, then who else can I go to?" Gao Long said helplessly.
"So which house have you taken a fancy to?" Qiao Mei asked.
"Didn't you give your mother a house recently? I'm interested in her original small courtyard house for my father to live in," Gao Long said.
Qiao Mei quickly held up her hand and rejected him. "No! That's my mother's house. Even if I'm down and out, I won't sell it. I still have other houses. Take another look around," Qiao Mei said.
After a long discussion, Qiao Mei sold him two courtyard houses which were four streets away from her house. The price was already 30 times higher than when she first bought them! However, Qiao Mei still felt some heartache. In 20 years' time, these two courtyard houses would be able to sell for 300 times the original price!
"Go, go, go! Don't let me see the contract! My heart is bleeding!" Qiao Mei covered her face and said sadly.
"There's one more thing I need your help with," Gao Long said.
"I know you want to talk to me about Xia Mo, but there's really nothing I can do. She is her own person. If you communicate with her properly, she will be able to understand," Qiao Mei said sternly.
Gao Long nodded and immediately went to start furnishing the houses. The houses were totally empty at the moment and Xia Mo needed a nice home when she came back. He could not let Xia Mo feel aggrieved.
One week later, everyone went to the airport to pick up Xia Mo. The whole scene was different from what they had imagined. Xia Mo and Gao Long actually had a very close relationship.
At night, Xia Wan came to Xia Mo's room. She sat at the edge of the bed and asked Xia Mo, "Mo Mo, do you really like Uncle Gao Long very much?"
"Yes, I do. I know about your relationship and I also know what's going on. I have no objections," Xia Mo said earnestly.
"I… I'm pregnant with your Uncle Gao Long's child now… I'm so sorry…" Xia Wan said fearfully. She closed her eyes nervously, afraid that Xia Mo would say something that would make her feel hurt.
Unexpectedly, Xia Mo reacted very happily to the news. She reached out to touch Xia Wan's stomach and said, "Uncle Gao Long has already told me. I'm very fond of this little sister. I hope she can arrive quickly. I'm glad to have a sibling now."
"You don't object to it?" Xia Wan asked in surprise.
"At first, I was a little against it, but Uncle Gao Long said that from now on, the most important person in the family will always be me and most of the family's assets would be given to me. Although I don't know what "assets" means, I can feel that Uncle Gao Long cares a lot about me," Xia Mo said.
When Xia Wan heard this, she hugged Xia Mo tightly. She did not expect her to be so blessed to have a husband and a daughter who understood her and loved her so much.
"Mom, don't worry. Uncle Gao Long and I will always love you. Besides, Grandmother also says that I have Uncle Gao Long and my younger sister to love me now. Why should I be sad?" Xia Mo said.
Xia Wan hugged Xia Mo and talked to her for a long time. The mother-and-daughter duo had a long heart-to-heart talk. As Gao Long was busy transferring his businesses back to the country, they did not intend to hold their wedding now. They would register their marriage first and hold the wedding banquet after the child was born.
