“It doesn’t matter if you believe me or not. Our Xia family won’t be affected by this matter. However, think carefully about what your son will have to face.” After saying that, Xia Wen walked home without looking back.

Su Hu and Huang Tai stood rooted to their spots in a daze. They were more worried about their son than Su Rui. If their son was ostracized in school because of this issue, the losses would outweigh the gains.

The matter with the Su family was finally resolved. Not long after that, Xia

Zhe returned home and it was a rare chance for the family to get together. Xu Lan asked everyone from the second son’s family to gather at her house to celebrate Xia Zhe’s triumphant return.

After dinner, Xia Wen quietly asked Xia Zhe to meet him at the rooftop. This was a secret between the two of them. When they were still in school, Xia Wen would often bring Xia Zhe to the rooftop of the school building to look at the starry sky. The two brothers would share their thoughts with each other there.

“Are you going to head off again soon?” Xia Wen asked.

“l really can’t hide anything from you. I have applied to the higher-ups to continue to be stationed there so that I can help to supply the country with the technology and talents that we lack,” Xia Zhe said.

After hesitating for a while, Xia Wen said, “How much do you know about what Qiao Mei has been up to? She’s studying in Country M now.”

Qiao Mei returned to the villa which was located on the farmland. As soon as she entered, she saw the three children sitting on the floor and playing with one another. She had been away for so long and Xia Yue could already babble a few words now.

“Mama! Mama is back!” Xia Fan and Xia Xing shouted as they ran over to Qiao Mei happily.

Qiao Mei carried the two children and said, “Do you miss Mama?”

Xia Yue crawled slowly towards Qiao Mei behind the two older children, still babbling something. Qiao Mei could not carry three children at the same time so she sat down on the rug with them.

“Tell Mama, what have you been doing at home during this period of time? Did you listen to Auntie Wang and Auntie Zhang?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Xings expression changed slightly. She seemed embarrassed as she looked at Qiao Mei and whispered, “Yes, I did...”

“Really?” Qiao Mei stared into Xia Xings eyes and continued asking.

Xia Fan grabbed Qiao Mei’s hand and said quickly, “Really! Mama, we’re all very obedient! Look at me, see if I have grown taller~

Xia Xing quickly heaved a sigh of relief. Qiao Mei did not expose the little secret between the two siblings. She did not expect them to already know how to cover for each other at such a young age. However, it also proved that the siblings were very close and that Xia Fan already knew that as an elder brother, he needed to protect his younger sister..
