“I’ll go with Fourth Aunt-in-law’s arrangements,” Meng Yuan said obediently.

The people around them watched quietly as the drama unfolded. Some of them recognized Xu Lan by now. They did not expect Meng Yuan to have such a close relationship with the Xia family! No wonder Meng Yuan was not interested in Xu Chun.

Xu Chun ran out of the canteen without getting the food. Xu Lan smiled in satisfaction. She emerged victorious today! This girl definitely would not dare to do anything to Meng Yuan again. She had not felt so happy in a long time.

Meng Yuan went to get food for Xu Lan and Qiao Mei and even brought them to take a look around the Education Bureau. He also briefly described his job here. Qiao Mei was an important business partner of the bureau, so there was no issue with telling her about these details.

“Xiao Yuan, you should go back to work. Qiao Mei and I will go home now. Come to Qiao Mei’s house for dinner tonight and we’ll talk more later,” Xu Lan said.

“Third Sister-in-law, drive carefully. Goodbye, Fourth Aunt-in-law!” Meng Yuan watched until Qiao Mei’s car disappeared from his sight at the intersection before returning to work.

After reaching home, Qiao Mei arranged for Yao Nian to investigate Xu Chun’s background. At dinnertime, Yao Nian sent the information pack to her house but she was not in a hurry to open it. She wanted to do it only when everyone was around.T/his chapter is updated by nov(ê(l)biin.co/m

“Xiao Yuan, if you don’t mind, you can address me as Godmother. If you keep calling me Fourth Aunt-in-law, I’ll feel like I’ve aged more than 10 years!” Xu Lan said.

Xu Ba had just ended a full day at work. When he got home, he could hear a lively commotion in the house from outside the door. When he opened the door, he saw that his elder brother’s family was here. It was not the new year or festive season, so why would they be visiting?

Old Madam Xu lived with Xu Ba. At this moment, Xu Chun was chatting casually with Old Madam Xu! Old Madam Xu looked very happy.

“Little Uncle, you’re back!” Xu Chun shouted.

“Yes I am. Why are all of you here? Is there some good news to share today?” Xu Ba asked.

“I miss Grandma, so I ask my parents to come over for a visit. Little Uncle, did you go on a date just now?” Xu Chun asked deliberately.

Everyone in the Xu family knew about the relationship between Xu Ba and Li Gui. Xu Chun was already in her 20s and was of marriageable age. However, her father, Xu Tian, was only the factory director of a small food factory and her mother was a full-time housewife who took care of her maternal grandmother. With her family background, what kind of prominent family would be interested in her?

It was Xu Ba who recommended her to work in the Education Bureau. She was still just a temporary worker. If the Education Bureau had to lay off employees, she would be the first one to get the chop! She wanted to gain a firm foothold in the Education Bureau and that was why she had targeted Meng Yuan.

If Xu Ba and Li Gui really got married, then she and Qiao Mei would become part of the same family and she would be able to reap a lot of benefits from it. However, she could not just sit back and wait for things to happen. Meng Yuan was her backup plan.

Now that Xu Lan had put an end to this plan, she had to put more thought into it. As the old saying went, it was difficult for a man to woo a woman but not the only way round. She believed that with enough time, Meng Yuan would eventually be attracted to her!
