Qiao Mei and the rest of the family members were staying over at Xia Fang’s house during this period of time. The house which Qiao Mei bought some time back, the one near Capital University, was also located nearby. If Xia Fang’s house could not accommodate everyone, some of them could also stay in that house.

Xia Wen and Xia He stayed behind in the hospital to take care of Mo Zhu. Not long after Mo Zhu married into the Xia family, Xia Zhe had left for his mission in Country M and the two of them never interacted much. If Xia Zhe hung around for too long, Mo Zhu might feel a little stressed out. She would feel more comfortable with Xia He for sure. After all, it was also more appropriate to have a female family member around to take care of Mo Zhu.

Mo Chou dragged Xia Wen out to the corridor and said moodily, “Have you settled the matter of that ?that woman at your workplace?”

“Father, I’ve already taken care of it. There’s really nothing going on between the woman and I,” Xia Wen said softly.

“I’ve met your grandfather a few times and I know how he runs the Xia family. I know that there is nothing between you and that woman. I’m just angry that you didn’t settle this matter fast enough and made my Mo Zhu suffer for it,” Mo Chou said.

“I’m sorry, Father,” Xia Wen said with his head lowered. Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

“Don’t say sorry to me! You should say it to Mo Zhu! It’s my poor daughter who insists on marrying into the wolf den that is your family! Back then, I couldn’t dissuade her no matter what I said. Now, everything I said has come true. Xia Wen, I’m warning you. Don’t let my daughter suffer any grievances or accidents. Otherwise, I will definitely make her leave your Xia family!” Mo Chou said sternly.

To him, Mo Zhu was like a treasure bestowed by the heavens. He had thought that he would never get married again after he divorced Tan Jing. He did not expect fate to lead him to Mo Zhu. He would never let the worst case scenario described by Mo Chou come true.

Yao Nian was a very fast worker. By the next morning, he had found out everything about Shi Rui. He stood below Xia Fang’s apartment block with his head lowered, looking very listless.

“Why do you look unwell?” Qiao Mei asked.

“How can I feel well having a boss like you? I have to go around investigating things urgently in the middle of the night. Do you think those pigeons will send me back the news by themselves?” Yao Nian said resignedly.

“It’s my fault. I’ll give you a bonus! I’ll let you take a break!” Qiao Mei said.

“A bonus? How much?” Yao Nian asked.

“1,000 dollars,” Qiao Mei said.

“That’s too little. How can the fruits of my labor only be worth 1,000 dollars? You haven’t paid me the remuneration and bonuses for the last few times! You have to settle the full bill this time! No more delay in payment!” Yao Nian said in a fit of pique.

“How about 20,000 dollars? But I’ve been running around recently and don’t have that much money with me. I’ll call the factory later and ask them to send you the money,” Qiao Mei said.
