Xia He remembered that she last saw this pair of jade tigers at an auction in Country M. She had taken a fancy to them at first glance. However, Qiao Mei had something important to do at that time and she did not have enough money, so she could only admire them from afar.

“I remember that the buyer at that time was from Country K and his secretary bought it on his behalf. How did you get this pair of jade tigers?” Xia He asked, feeling pleasantly surprised.

“I’m so resourceful, so I have my ways. It’s good as long as you like it,” Qiao Mei said.

“Thank you,” Xia He said, feeling touched.

“There’s no need to stand on ceremony with me. We’re family,” Qiao Mei said as she held Xia He’s hands.

As the days passed, everyone’s lives got back on track. The weather started getting very warm and Xia Mao had to go to the south for one month on a work trip. Xu Lan was left alone in the big house and the whole place felt so cold and cheerless. She did not like that feeling, so she moved to Qiao Mei’s place to stay for a while.

Today was the day of the family’s monthly reunion meal. All the Xia family’s children who were in town would gather at Qiao Mei’s place for a meal. Xia Wen had now been assigned to the Industrial and Commercial Bureau to be a director there and the workplace unit had allocated a car to him. He drove home with Meng Yuan in the car.

“Why is it only the two of you? Where’s Mo Zhu?” Xu Lan asked.

“Mo Zhu’s father has not been in good health recently. She has brought our child to visit him and she specially asked me to send her apologies to you. When she comes back, she will definitely come over and spend some time with you,” Xia Wen explained.

“What’s there to apologize for? Which person doesn’t fall sick at times? Her father’s health is the most important thing,” Xu Lan said.

Qiao Mei put down the needlework in her hand and looked at Xia Wen as she asked, “Eldest Brother, do you have enough medicinal wine? We still have a lot at home. You can bring some for Eldest Sister-in-law’s father.”

The news of the Xia family’s “divine medicine” had long spread around like wildfire. Even if Meng Yuan originally did not know about it, he would have heard it from others. Anyway, they were all a family now, so it was not a big deal to let Meng Yuan know.

“We haven’t finished our supply at home. I’ll ask you for more when we’ve run out,” Xia Wen said quickly.

Xia You rushed in bearing gifts. The moment she entered the house, she spotted Meng Yuan. She patted him on the shoulder excitedly and said, “Kid, you’re really something ?The news about what happened to you at the workplace has even reached your cousin-in-law’s company!”

Lu Huai had set up 12 office branches in various places. Although a few of the branches were managed by newly recruited staff, most of the staff were those buddies of his who had gone through thick and thin with him in the past. It could be said that Lu Huai was now the owner of the largest logistics company in the country. He had many clients, ranging from both private to state-owned enterprises and even the government.

Firstly, it was because Lu Huai was very capable. Secondly, it was definitely because Lu Huai was a loyal and honest person as well as very dependable. He was well-liked by everyone. Coincidentally, Meng Yuan was tasked by the Education Bureau to liaise with him about some work recently.

Meng Yuan blushed and said, “I ?I didn’t do anything ”

“Xia You, what exactly is going on? Did something happen to Meng Yuan at the workplace?” Xu Lan asked anxiously, worried that Meng Yuan had suffered grievances at the workplace.

“Should I tell them or leave it to you?” Xia You looked at Meng Yuan and asked with a smile.

“Sigh ?It’s just that there’s a girl who’s ?who’s wooing me. I’ve rejected her many times, but she still won’t give up,” Meng Yuan said helplessly.

Xia You quickly added, “It’s more than that! Everyone in your cousin-in-law’s company has heard that the two of you are a couple. There are even people who say that you’re already engaged!”

“If a girl who hasn’t even discussed marriage plans is the subject of such gossip, I don’t know how she is going to get married in the future!” Xu Lan said.

“These rumors are too inappropriate. I’ve seen those girls from Meng Yuan’s workplace before. There are indeed a few women who seem very aggressive and probably can’t wait to tear our Meng Yuan apart and eat him alive! That girl probably wants to force Meng Yuan to give in by publicizing that she’s in a relationship with him,” Qiao Mei guessed.

Meng Yuan nodded in agreement with Qiao Mei. He said in disgust, “I have a lot of work to do and don’t have time to deal with such things. No matter who she meets, she will find a way to say that she is in a relationship with me.”

“I mean she doesn’t say it out so explicitly, but she’s always hinting about it. However, given that it’s the girl who goes around admitting to the relationship, no one will believe me no matter how I try to explain it. There are even people who say that I don’t count my blessings and that I’m just trying to act high and mighty. Even my superiors have come to talk to me about this issue.”

Xu Lan put down her bowl and chopsticks and said sternly, “That won’t do! How can we let her hold us hostage like this! We can’t let Xiao Yuan be forced into marrying her!”

The entire family fell silent. At this moment, Qiao Mei said, “It’s not as if there’s no solution for this.”
