“Why?” Qiao Mei asked bluntly.

“They’re your relatives! We’re also your relatives! You can’t favor one over the other! I’m sure they owe their success to you!” Wang Kun said.

Xia You had nothing to say to that. In the beginning, it was indeed Qiao Mei who helped Lu Huai’s company to establish a partnership with the various government departments. In addition, Qiao Mei had also lent Lu Huai some money back then. He had already repaid the money with interest by now.

“How can you talk to Third Cousin-in-law like that!” Xia Bai tugged at Wang Kun. She turned around and smiled at Qiao Mei as she said, “Third Cousin-in-law, you can just pretend that you don’t know your cousin-in-law. You can discipline him if you want! Put him under any kind of supervision you want. Just treat it as you’re training him.”

“If the two of us are strangers, then why should I let him work in my factory?” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Bai and continued, “The current factory director and deputy factory director of my factory are both university graduates. I only hire top students from famous universities.”

“Then train him from the lowest position! I’m sure you can offer him a junior position!” Xia Bai said.

“Third Cousin-in-law, what exactly are you trying to do! If you don’t want to help us, just say it! Why are you beating around the bush! What is this talk about relatives and friends! I think it’s all just an excuse! You just want to go against us! You don’t want our family to do well!” Xia Bai stood up angrily and pointed at Qiao Mei as she roared.

Her loud voice attracted everyone’s attention. Xia Ding immediately said, “Elder Sister! Are you out of your mind! What nonsense are you saying!”

“I’m not! I just want to know why you would rather help Xia You and Xia He than my family! What did my family do to offend you!” Xia Bai said.

“We didn’t know each other in the past and we didn’t offend each other in any way. To be honest, I just don’t want to help. The money is mine and so is the factory. I have the final say in the eldest son’s family! It’s not that I don’t want you to do well. It’s fine if you want to live a good life, but don’t try to make use of me to achieve it!” Qiao Mei said forcefully.

“How incredible! So the eldest son’s family likes to show off! Even your eldest brother, Xia Wen, doesn’t dare to say such things! How can you be so arrogant! Who gave you the guts to make decisions for the Xia family!” Xia Bai said.

When Xu Lan heard the commotion, she immediately rushed over. She looked at Xia Bai and berated her, “Who exactly is the one showing off today? Are you trying to put on airs in our house today? Your mother doesn’t even comment on the issues in the eldest son’s family. When is it your place to speak?”

“Eldest Aunt-in-law, I’m just feeling indignant for Xia Wen,” Xia Bai said in a vague manner.

“What’s wrong with Xia Wen? I have two sons. Xia Wen takes care of things outside and Xia Zhe takes care of things within the household. Now that Xia Zhe is not at home, his wife naturally has the final say at home! Don’t tell me you’re the one who has the final say?” Xu Lan said furiously.

Qiao Mei’s words carried a lot of weight, not just in the eldest son’s family but even in the entire Xia family. Currently, Xia Jun would not listen to anyone except for Qiao Mei. Now that Xia Bai had offended Qiao Mei, she was not going to have an easy time in the future.
