“Elder sister, are you stunned?” Qiao Mei smiled at Xia He.

Xia He said agitatedly, “Yes, I’ve never received such a thoughtful gift! I really like it so much. Your embroidery is so good that I can’t bear to wear it.”

“When I made it, I didn’t know what you liked, so I embroidered lotuses to match your name. Don’t worry and wear them boldly. I’ll make clothes for you every year!” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He folded the clothes one by one and carefully put them away. These were all her treasures. She would only wear these handmade clothes from Qiao Mei at formal occasions.

“Knock, knock, knock!”

They heard loud knocks on the door.

Xia He stood up and said, “I’ll open the door. Is Xiao Zhe back? Didn’t you say that he won’t be back tonight?”

Qiao Mei did not fight with Xia He to open the door. She sat obediently on the sofa and thought about clothes that she could make for Xia He next time.

In the entire Xia family, Xia He was the person she liked the most, followed by Aunt. These two people treated her extremely well and thought of her first whenever they had nice clothes and delicious food, making her feel the warmth of having a family and siblings.

In her other life, she was a loner and did not even have a good friend. Her parents did not get along and always quarreled over trivial matters, so she had always yearned for a happy family and a brother to take care of her.

In this life, she must be nice to the people who treated her well and not leave any regrets!

There was suddenly a commotion at the door. No one knew who Xia He was arguing with, but it sounded like a woman.

Qiao Mei walked towards the door curiously and saw the disheveled Qian’e glaring at Xia He with her hands on her hips.

“What’s wrong, elder sister?” Qiao Mei walked forward and asked.

“This woman said that she’s looking for you. How shameless of her to make her way to our house,” Xia He said as she rolled her eyes.

When Qian’e saw Qiao Mei coming out, she calmed down. She did not come here to cause trouble, but rather, she had something to tell Qiao Mei. Earlier on the streets, she had only slandered Qiao Mei because she failed to suppress her feelings.

Qiao Mei sized up Qian’e for a while and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“It’s about the He family.” Qian’e looked at Qiao Mei calmly.

Qiao Mei turned sideways and said to Qian’e, “Come in and talk. There are too many people outside.”

Qian’e nodded. When she walked in, she deliberately avoided Xia He. The kick that Xia He gave her just now was still hurting.

Xia He grabbed Qiao Mei anxiously and whispered, “Are you crazy! Do you know that you’re inviting a wolf into your house? How are you going to explain it if she causes trouble at home? It’s fine if nothing happens to you, but if anything happens, father will definitely blame me. What if I can’t subdue her!”

Of course, Xia Mao would not bear to teach Qiao Mei a lesson. He would only punish Xia He.

Qiao Mei smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll bear the responsibility if anything happens. Besides, elder sister is so powerful and you’re a heroine! How is it possible that you can’t subdue her? I trust elder sister!” Qiao Mei smiled innocently and spoke sweetly, as if her mouth was laced with honey.

Xia He blushed and said, “Alright, alright, alright. I can’t win an argument with you. Let’s go in. I’m guessing she won’t dare to play any tricks.”

Qian’e stood in the middle of the living room without moving. In her current state, she was not in the mood to discuss anything.

“Where’s the bathroom?” Qian’e asked bluntly.

Qiao Mei pointed at the room at the end of the first floor and said, “That’s the one. Go and clean up.”

Qian’e swaggered off to the bathroom as if she was at her own house.

When Liu Fen heard the commotion, she also came out of the kitchen. She held on to the kitchen knife and asked warily, “What happened… Did someone come in!”

Xia He and Qiao Mei were stunned to the spot when they saw Liu Fen’s stance. Although Liu Fen was timid, she was still protective of the kids at home.

The two of them laughed loudly, making Liu Fen very confused.

“It’s fine, Second Aunt-in-law. It’s an acquaintance of mine who has some matters to settle and is here to talk. It’s not some bad guy,” Qiao Mei said as she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

When Liu Fen heard that there was no danger, she returned to the kitchen, feeling very confused as she continued cooking.

Qian’e was washing her hair in the bathroom when she heard the laughter outside the door. She smiled mockingly at her reflection in the mirror.

“You can still laugh when death is near. How bold,” Qian’e muttered to herself slowly.
