Chapter 2317: Schemed Against by Family Members



"It's just that... we haven't found a venue for Xiao Hai's one-month-old celebration banquet yet. I wonder if you have any ideas?" Xia Xing asked tentatively.

Tang Hui already knew that Xia Xing would come and look for her. Moreover, Qiao Mei had also already spoken and hinted to her about it. She just did not expect him to turn up so soon this time round.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"I have so much to do and I'm always so busy. Xiao Xing, as you know, I just married into the Xia family not long ago and I don't really know how to deal with a lot of family issues yet. But if you have something in mind, you can just tell me. I'll definitely do whatever I can," Tang Hui said in a proactive manner.

By now, Xia Xing realized that Tang Hui would not take the initiative to offer help. Tang Hui was a good person though, so there was no need for him to throw a tantrum at her here. Otherwise, when Xia Guang returned, Xia Guang definitely would not let him off.

"Auntie Tang, I'll be honest with you. Actually, our intent is to hold Xiao Hai's celebration banquet at Third Cousin-in-law's mother's restaurant," Xia Xing said.

"That's a good thing to do! Since the venue belongs to a relative, it will be easier for you to plan things. So what's your budget?" Tang Hui asked curiously.

"We... we have no idea. This is something that we need to discuss with Third Cousin-in-law, but things didn't end well between us and her back then, so I dare not go and look for her," Xia Xing said embarrassedly.

"That's nothing. I can be the middleman to help you negotiate with her, but... there will definitely be standard charges. You also know what Qiao Mei is like. Her best price can only be the labor cost plus the base price. If you want more discounts... I'm afraid she won't give in," Tang Hui said.

What a good plan...

"Not too bad. You manage to get it. Otherwise, I will really wonder if I have partnered with the right person," Qiao Mei said with a sigh.

"I'm just... too worried to think straight..." Tang Hui said helplessly.

Qiao Mei could sense that there was something interesting going on. She quickly sat up straight and stared at Tang Hui as she asked, "Worried? Worried about who? My third uncle? Have the two of you gotten much closer?"

Tang Hui lowered her head shyly. In the beginning, she had only married Xia Guang for the benefits involved. Furthermore, his previous marriage was such a mess and she felt that he had a big part to play in that. However, what she did not expect was that Xia Guang was quite a romantic at heart.

Xia Guang would send local specialties from his current location and precious mountain herbs to Tang Hui regularly and would include a letter with every package. In just a few months, Tang Hui had already received 13 letters!

"Oh my... This is also the first time I hear of Third Uncle's prowess. It's so amazing," Qiao Mei said in shock. Even when she first got together with Xia Zhe, she did not write so many letters to him. At that time, Xia Zhe was also quite aloof.

"I... I now feel that Xia Guang is not too bad a partner. Since he's so happy about Xia Hai's birth, I feel that I should render some help to Xia Xing." After saying that, Tang Hui sighed and continued, "Who would have thought that it's all just a scheme."

"Like mother, like son. Which of my third uncle's children have turned out alright? Two of them are in jail and the other one is full of schemes. How useless," Qiao Mei said.
