Chapter 2194: Cannot Go Abroad



Xia Xing watched as Xia Wen and Qiao Mei left. It was as if a part of his heart had been hollowed out. He had always taken advantage of the kindness of the eldest son's family and bullied them knowing that they were people with good upbringing who would not retaliate. He did not expect Xia Wen to blow up today.

Qiao Mei went to the convenience store nearby to make a call and ask Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang to come to Xia Xing's house to drive Xia Wen's car back. Now that Xia Wen had been promoted, the workplace unit had given him a car. However, such allocated cars were those rejected by the government departments and were not in very good condition. However, in Xia Wen's eyes, a car was just a means of transportation and it was fine as long as the car was drivable.

"Eldest Brother, sit tight. I'll bring you home immediately," Qiao Mei said as she stepped on the accelerator.

"Slow down. I am not hurt badly. Don't be so anxious," Xia Wen said as he comforted Qiao Mei.

Qiao Mei had originally planned to look for Xia Fang to treat his wounds. After all, there might still be a lot of glass bits inside. If the wounds were not treated properly, they might get inflamed. However, he did not want to alarm Xia Fang over such a small matter and he would not acquiesce no matter how Qiao Mei tried.

When they reached home, Qiao Mei took out the 100-year-old ginseng juice. She poured out some and put it into the water to wash Xia Wen's wounds. She held his wrist tightly and the butterfly mark on her chest was burning hot. She slowly picked out the broken glass bits and bandaged Xia Wen's wounds only after confirming that there were none left inside.

"Eldest Brother, do you mean what you said at Xia Xing's place?" Qiao Mei asked.

"If Xia Xing is willing to turn over a new leaf, I might forgive him. Grandfather is old and he will be upset if the Xia family members don't get along," Xia Wen said resignedly.

Qiao Mei sighed and said, "Eldest Brother, do you think it's my fault? If I had been more tolerant of Zhou Hua back then, perhaps all these would not have happened?"

"Don't be anxious. I'm not finished yet," Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei took a sip of tea to calm herself down. Even if she was given another week, it would be impossible for her to prepare the amount of seeds required. Otherwise, she would be cutting short her own lifespan!

"Give them some seeds that are of better quality than the ones on the market first and let them try them out. We'll talk about the collaboration only when you come back," Xia Wen said.

"Then which type do you think I should give?" Qiao Mei asked.

Xia Wen knew a lot about all her businesses. She did not hide anything from Xia Wen since she knew that he would not cheat her.

"Watermelons will be good. Watermelons bring high returns," Xia Wen said after some thought.

"Then I'll focus on preparing watermelon seeds. Give Sun Tian the address and he will send the goods over on time. Don't hold me back from meeting Xia Zhe!" Qiao Mei warned.

"Got it!" Xia Wen said.

Xia Wen had to go back to work tomorrow, so Qiao Mei drove back to the villa alone. As soon as she got out of the car, she was stopped by Xia He and Xu Lan. Xu Lan asked nervously, "Did you get bullied at Xia Xing's house?"

"Both of you... I wonder which bigmouth told you about this," Qiao Mei said.

"How can you hide such a big thing! I've already called up your eldest brother to ask him about his injuries. How are you? Did they hurt you?" Xu Lan asked.
