Chapter 1879: Leaving

“l already say we are too high-profile this time... Look at the people around us and the way they look at us. I don’t know what they’ll say after we leave,” Qiao Mei said softly.

“This is already very low-key! Eldest Brother has already gone for the simplest setup! You don’t even know what a terrifying setup he came up with earlier. When MO Zhu saw it, she came and showed it to me! He had wanted to send more than 10 bodyguards and five helpers with you! He even wanted to send personal tutors for the two children!” Xia He leaned on Qiao Mei’s shoulder and whispered into her ear.

Qiao Mei smiled resignedly. Fortunately, the original plan was not approved. Otherwise, the airport would be full of people related to the Xia family. If the government was overly suspicious, they might think that the entire Xia family was leaving the country!

“So who’s the one who rejected this plan?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“Who else! It can only be Eldest Sister-in-law! Eldest Brother only listens to her now,” Xia He said proudly.

“It feels quite good. There’s finally someone whom Eldest Brother is afraid of,” Qiao Mei said in a gratified manner.

Today was a rare occasion when Qiao Qiang wore his incomparably precious Zhongshan suit. He stood at the edge of the big group with reddened eyes as he looked at Qiao Mei. That was the girl he had painstakingly taken care of and brought up. Now that she was going to spread her wings and soar into the sky, he should be happy. However, his heart only felt empty.

Xu Lan held Qiao Mei’s hand and said, “Don’t be too frugal when you’re there! Come back and visit us during your holidays!’

After Xu Lan said that, everyone standing behind her laughed. Even Li Gui, who was beside her, could not help but laugh. Xu Lan looked at everyone confusedly and said, “What are you laughing at! Did I say something wrong?”

“Mother, when have you ever seen Qiao Mei being frugal?” Xia He asked with a smile.

“Oh my, look at me and my brain.” Xu Lan smiled and slapped her forehead. She would become forgetful when she got anxious. Qiao Mei would never be too frugal. She would find means and ways to earn more money.

As they spoke to one another, there was a broadcast announcement. The plane to Country M was about to take off. Qiao Mei led the traveling group onto the plane. They were really leaving now.

Qiao Mei was so tired that she leaned back against the seat to rest. Xia He leaned against the window excitedly and looked at the scenery outside. This was her first time taking a plane! She did not expect the experience to be so magical! Along the way, Xia He kept talking to Qiao Mei, but Qiao Mei was so tired that she could not be bothered with Xia He.

“Look! We’re above the clouds! Qiao Mei, look!” Xia He said excitedly as she grabbed Qiao Mei’s arm.

“l see it...” Qiao Mei said weakly.

“It’s really beautiful! Do you think I can see the sun? What do you think the sun looks like? I’ve never seen the sun so close before!” Xia He said..
