“How can someone be dressed so simply at such an important banquet ” Xia Bai muttered in disdain, her voice loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

“Miss Tang, did you come here immediately after the school day ended?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I swapped classes with a fellow teacher. Otherwise, I would definitely be late. I came in a hurry so I’m still wearing my work clothes. I apologize for that,” Tang Hui said.

The moment Xia Bai heard that Tang Hui was a teacher, her eyes lit up. She immediately smiled and asked, “Oh! You’re a teacher! Which school are you from?”

“Seventh High,” Tang Hui replied truthfully.

Xia Bai’s attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn! She had a child who was in high school. Back in the northwest, she had no choice. All the family’s children had to study at the school run by the research institute, but things were different in the capital. There were so many good schools here.

However, all the good schools in the capital impose requirements in the students. Some schools needed the students to meet certain minimum grades, while some schools needed to know the student’s home address as only those who live in the neighborhood near the school could study in that school.

The best high school in the capital was Sixth High, followed by Seventh High. Xia Bai had been worried that she did not know anyone who could help get her child into either school. She did not expect to be able to gain so much from this dinner!

“Grandfather! I’m your biological grandson! The two of them are outsiders!” Xia Xing looked at Xia Jun in disbelief.

“You still have the cheek to comment about others! Do you think you’re better than everyone else here! Are you proud of those nasty things which your family did! You know that your current workplace unit places a lot of importance on educational qualifications. You’ve sat for the university admission examinations so many times, but have you gotten in yet? You don’t focus on the right things and just dwell on these household issues every day! Do you even retain any knowledge from all the books you read!” Xia Jun scolded angrily.

Xia Xing lowered his head and remained silent. Xia Jun was right. He was indeed a good-for-nothing, but he also had his dignity! No matter how bad a person his mother was, she was still his biological mother! No one was allowed to covet his mother’s position!

“Father, let’s eat. The kid didn’t do it on purpose,” Xia Guang said.

“Teach your son properly!” Xia Jun said.

Xia Xing left the villa without looking back. Before he left, he even glared fiercely at Qiao Mei. She felt very helpless. She had helped Xia Xing so much to allow him to live his current life in peace. She did not expect him to end up hating her because of Zhou Hua.

However, Qiao Mei could understand where he was coming from. After all, she was only his cousin-in-law while Zhou Hua was his biological mother. Blood was definitely thicker than water. Zhou Hua must have said a lot of bad things about Qiao Mei in front of Xia Xing after she returned to the capital this time round.

After dinner, Qiao Mei let everyone walk around and tour the house. She had already locked all the important rooms. She brought Tang Hui to one side and said, “When are you going to marry into the Xia family?”

“I thought that in the family, your third uncle should be most anxious about this issue. I didn’t expect you to be even more anxious than him!” Tang Hui said with a smile.

“I’m just curious. Quick, tell me what you have in mind!” Qiao Mei said.
