Chapter 1877 - 1877: Go Abroad Together
Xia Wen came to the study to look for Qiao Mei after work. He took out her passport from his bag and said, “It’s ready. Keep it well. The school will make the arrangements for your travels soon.”
“Thank you, Eldest Brother,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
“Are... are you doing this because of Xia Zhe?” Xia Wen asked tentatively.
After a long silence, Qiao Mei said, “I do have this idea in my head...”
“I know you’re worried about Xia Zhe’s safety, but his mission this time is a very dangerous one, Moreover, how are you going to find him in the vast sea of people?” Xia Wen asked.
“I just want to try my luck,” Qiao Mei said.
“When you’re there, don’t ask anyone about Xia Zhe. Don’t mention Xia Zhe to anyone and don’t deliberately ask around. Even if you’re lucky enough to meet him, you have to pretend not to know him. Otherwise... otherwise, his life will be in danger. For the sake of his safety, I hope you can promise me that,” Xia Wen said sternly.
“I understand, Eldest Brother. I’ll remember what you said,” Qiao Mei said.
“Yes, let me know if anything happens. You have to be careful since you’ll be on your own out there. The Xia family doesn’t have much of an influence overseas. If anything happens, you have to call me as soon as possible. If there are any issues that you can’t solve, just come back. Do you understand?” Xia Wen instructed.
“Furthermore, your safety is already a huge problem. We don’t have any friends or trusted aides over there, so you can only rely on yourself. I heard that it’s not too safe over there, but I can only arrange for two bodyguards to accompany you at most,” Xia Wen said.
“Um... I want to say something!” Xia He raised her hand and continued, “I can go with Qiao Mei!’
“You? If you go, then what about Deng Fan?” Xu Lan questioned.
“Deng Fan is hard at work every day nowadays. Qiao Mei has bought so many houses, then there’s also the factory and the work from his other clients. He doesn’t have time to accompany me at all. Moreover, the two of us have already discussed it. We won’t have children for the next few years as we want to focus on our careers. I want to go overseas to take a look. Besides, Qiao Mei will only be an exchange student for two years and it’s not really a long time,” Xia He said earnestly.
Xia Wen stared at Xia He and asked, “Are you serious? Do you need to discuss it with Deng Fan?”
“Of course I’m serious! Deng Fan and I have already agreed on this,” Xia He said.
“Then I can get you a passport and send you overseas. I’ll definitely feel more at ease if you can be there with Qiao Mei and the children,” Xia Wen said.
“All of you... you’re just messing around!” Xu Lan said angrily.
“Mother! I’m still young! I want to go out and take a look! Besides, Qiao Mei and I can then take care of the children together. Once we get there, we’ll hire a helper. It’ll be safe since I’m there to keep an eye on them every day. Don’t you believe in my capability?” Xia He deliberately showed Xu Lan her biceps..
