“Mother! We’re back!” Qiao Mei shouted towards the house as soon as she stepped into the courtyard.
Xu Lan rushed out of the living room without even putting on her coat. She hugged Qiao Mei excitedly and said, “Mei Mei, you’re back! Why didn’t you tell me in advance! Then I could make preparations!”
“Can’t I want to give you a surprise?” Qiao Mei said sweetly as she leaned her head on Xu Lan’s shoulder.
Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei and Xu Lan with a hint of jealousy and said, “Mother, I’m back too. Shouldn’t you hug me first?”
“Shoo, shoo, shoo! Why should I hug you? You’re already an adult, yet you still want me to hug you! Go into the house to chat with your father!” Xu Lan said with slight disdain.
Nowadays, Xu Lan was closer to Qiao Mei than her own children! He and Xia Wen no longer ranked highly in her heart and even Xia He had also taken a backseat.
Mo Zhu was already admitted to the VIP ward of the hospital to await the arrival of her baby, just like what Qiao Mei did when she gave birth to Xia Yue. Everyone in the hospital was ready and Xia Fang was also on standby to ensure that nothing would happen to Mo Zhu.
The moment Xia Zhe entered the house, Xia Mao and Xia Jun asked him to go to the side hall with them. They had something very important to discuss with him.
Xia Jun decided to ask Xia Xiu to come up with a training plan first and then send Xia Fan to train with her for a month and get immersed in that kind of environment. As for whether Xia Xing should take the same path, the entire family would consider the decision carefully.
After they had a meal together, the whole family drove to the hospital to visit Mo Zhu. When they arrived at the hospital, Xu Lan realized that only Mo Chou and Liu Shu were accompanying Mo Zhu and Xia Wen was nowhere to be seen.
“In-law, why is it only the two of you with Mo Zhu? Why isn’t Xia Wen around?” Xu Lan asked curiously.
“Your good son! Go and ask him yourself! How do we know!” Mo Chou said angrily.
Mo Zhu hurriedly grabbed Mo Chou’s hand and said, “Father! Don’t say things out of anger!”
Xu Lan gave Qiao Mei a look and Qiao Mei immediately understood what it meant. She took the car keys and left the ward quietly. She wanted to give Xia Wen a call first, so she walked straight towards Xia Fang’s office.
The moment she entered the room, she saw a haggard-looking Xia Fang crouched over the table. This was the first time she had seen Xia Fang look so tired.
“Aunt, why are you sleeping here? Why didn’t you go to the lounge?” Qiao Mei said as she woke Xia Fang up.
“Sigh Mo Zhu’s father will ask me to go and take a look at Mo Zhu’s condition every two hours. I haven’t been able to rest well for the past two days. I was afraid that they would look for me again later, so I didn’t go to the lounge,” Xia Fang said.
