After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2446: Qiao Corporation

“Do adults feel scared too?” Xia Mo asked curiously.

“Of course! We are also humans!” Qiao Mei said firmly.

“Aunt-in-law, then what are you scared of?” Xia Mo continued.

Qiao Mei looked at the children playing in the courtyard and said, “Them. I feel scared when they get sick or if something happens to them. I also feel scared if something happens to your uncle-in-law. Also, if anything should happen to your great-grandfather Qiao, I’ll also be sad.”

“Does my mother feel this way too?” Xia Mo asked.

“Yes, she’s the same too. Everyone loves you,” Qiao Mei said firmly.

Xia Mo nodded in understanding. That knot in her heart that had been bothering her for a long time had finally been untied.

“Do you want to live with your mother or your grandmother?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Mo replied without a second thought, “With my mother!”

“Then are you ready to face Gao Long and your younger brother?” Qiao Mei asked again.

This time, Xia Mo did not answer Qiao Mei’s question. Qiao Mei knew that people usually wanted to escape when faced with something they were afraid of.

“You can stay here with me for now and go back when you’re ready. I’ll always keep a room for you here,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Thank you, Aunt-in-law! I’ll remember what you said!” Xia Mo said happily.

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. I am very fond of you, so much so that I wish you’re my daughter! You don’t have to worry about going to school. You can rest at home for a while and think about the interests and hobbies that you want to pursue. I can hire tutors to guide you. My school will start classes and you should study there,” Qiao Mei said.

“Is that really possible?” Xia Mo asked excitedly.

“Of course. Gao Long is my uncle and your mother is my husband’s older cousin. Your uncle-in-law does whatever I say! I’m the queen! All of them will do whatever I say!” Qiao Mei said proudly.

Xia Mo looked at Qiao Mei with admiration in her eyes. In the next 20 years of her life, Xia Mo would view Qiao Mei as her role model and her idol since young. Qiao Mei would also remember this moment for the rest of her life.

“I’ll go and play with my younger cousins now!” Xia Mo said.

“Go ahead and be careful!” Qiao Mei said.

As Qiao Mei looked at Xia Mo, she thought of her other life. In her other life, her mother had also remarried but her stepfather was not nice to her. Since her mother was fully reliant on her stepfather, she decided to abandon Qiao Mei. As a result, Qiao Mei had to live alone like an orphan.

Qiao Mei could see her sensitive old self in Xia Mo. She hoped that Xia Mo would not turn out like her in her other life. Helping Xia Mo was also helping herself.

Xia Mo did not stay at Qiao Mei’s place for long before Gao Long and Xia Wan came and took her home. Qiao Mei heard that the family got along well and was very happy. Xia Mo slowly became less sensitive and everything returned to normal.

For a period of time after that, Qiao Mei was busy with her various businesses. Two years later, Qiao Mei’s businesses were all listed on the stock market one after another and the Qiao Corporation became quite famous within the country.

When she first came to the capital, everyone called Qiao Mei “the countryside girl”. Later on, she became the “third young mistress of the Xia family”. Now, everyone had to respectfully address her as “Boss Qiao” when they saw her.

The He family no longer had the ability to fight with Qiao Mei and the Xia family. He Ning had also drunk all the medicinal wine he managed to get his hands on. Now, He Ning could only lie in bed and rely on others to take care of him. It was an extravagant hope for him to even get up and walk a few steps.

“I think He Ning doesn’t have many days left,” Xia Wen said with a sigh.

After fighting his weak health for his entire life, He Ning did not manage to defeat it.

“I heard that many people who are on good terms with the He family have gone to visit He Ning recently. The doctor has even told the family members to go back and be on standby,” Xia Zhe said.

Xia Zhe was now considered an “idler” in the army. His main job was to train the new recruits and formulate battle plans. Whenever he could, he would use his vacation days to go traveling around with Qiao Mei. He had even more free time than Xia Mao.

Xia Mao often commented that Xia Zhe had lost his fighting spirit, but Xia Zhe felt that if he could spend the rest of his life with Qiao Mei and watch the children grow up healthily, that would already be the greatest blessing of his life! After all, their family’s financial situation was fully covered by Boss Qiao! It did not matter even if he did not work hard.

“Should we visit him?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I won’t. It’s not because of my personal feelings. I’m just worried that He Ning will die of spite if he sees me. I can’t let He Ning drag down the Xia family even in death!” Xia Wen said helplessly.

“Hahahaha! Eldest Brother, you have a point!” Qiao Mei could not stop laughing when she heard that.
