After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 2284: Fantasy Is Always Beautiful

"I saw her and Mr. Xu shopping at the mall. He was carrying some men's clothing, paid for with your mother's card! The two of them even held hands!" Xia He said.

Qiao Mei frowned. She did not expect Li Gui to dare to lie to her because of this man. This man was really something if he was able to make Li Gui put in so much so willingly.

Xia He saw that Qiao Mei did not look too happy, so she said gently, "Don't worry too much. Auntie Li is an adult and she knows her own limits. I think that man is quite a gentleman and he doesn't look like a bad person. If she really wants to remarry, there's nothing bad about it. You can't ask her to be alone her whole life."

"I'm afraid that she's already immersed in the sea of love and can't extricate herself," Qiao Mei said with a sigh.

Qiao Mei told Xia He about everything that the Xu family had done. Xia He was so angry that she almost rushed out to beat up the Xu family members. They were too much!

"So many things happened!" Xia He said.

"You were in confinement at that time, so I didn't tell you. These things have already all been resolved," Qiao Mei said.

"This is a fire pit! Auntie Li must not be allowed to step into it," Xia He said firmly.

Qiao Mei kept thinking about whatever happened today. She did not know what Li Gui would say to her after going home, nor did she know what Li Gui wanted. The Xu family was like a den of tigers and wolves. With Li Gui's temperament, she would be torn apart immediately. In the evening, Li Gui returned home in high spirits. As expected, she only had two to three bags in her hands. This number did not match the number which Xia He mentioned earlier.

"Control yourself. Don't scare Auntie Li," Xia He said.

"Yes, I know," Qiao Mei said with a nod.

When Li Gui saw Qiao Mei and Xia He, she quickly hid the things behind her back and said embarrassedly, "You... you're both here."

"Come in and have a chat." Qiao Mei entered the house after saying that. Xia He took the bags from Li Gui and set them aside.

Li Gui sat opposite Qiao Mei like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to say anything. She knew that Qiao Mei did not like Xu Ba, but she really could not control her own heart.

"Why did you lie to me?" Qiao Mei asked directly.

Li Gui was stunned for a moment. She explained in a panic, "Mom didn't mean to hide it from you! He came to the restaurant to look for me and I couldn't say no..."

Qiao Mei believed what Li Gui said for the time being. It did not really matter if it was true or not. Li Gui was an individual and had her own life to live. Qiao Mei was her child and it was not right to interfere too much.

"Then do you intend to marry Mr. Xu?" Qiao Mei asked again.

"I..." Li Gui hesitated, not knowing how to answer Qiao Mei's question. She had indeed thought about marrying Xu Ba and he had also raised the issue earlier today.

Qiao Mei shook her head helplessly. The desire for love was Li Gui's Achilles heel and she could never remember the pain she suffered previously. She could only remember these short-lived beautiful moments. It looked like Qiao Mei needed to help Li Gui recall the past. "Have you forgotten how the Xu family members treated us back then? Also, what are your plans for Mr. Xu's children in the future? Who is Old Madam Xu going to stay with?" Qiao Mei asked.

Xu Ba had already made many promises to Li Gui, so she quickly repeated what he said to Qiao Mei. His children would live on campus in the future and Old Madam Xu could go and live with his elder brother. He only wanted to spend time alone with Li Gui and he would never force her to do anything that she was unwilling to do.

Qiao Mei almost could not bear to interrupt Li Gui. Her face was filled with happiness, as if she was already married to Xu Ba.

"Are Xu Ba's children going to study forever? After they finish their studies, where will they live when they need to go out and work? If they can't find jobs, will they expect you to help?" "Has the Xu family's elder son confirmed that he will take over the care of his mother? If Old Madam Xu wants to live with Xu Ba, are you going to force them to live apart?"

"What about the festive seasons? Do they intend to go to your restaurant to celebrate? And then get looked down upon and yet still have to bear with their attitudes after spending money on them."

"You must have bought a lot of things at the mall today. I think you're the one who paid for everything. Is this how you express your love?"

Li Gui could not handle Qiao Mei's series of questions. She had not even thought about all the things which Qiao Mei said just now. She just... just completely trusted Xu Ba.

Xia He patted Qiao Mei's shoulder and whispered, "Don't go overboard."

Qiao Mei massaged her temples. It was really difficult for her to control her emotions. The usually astute Li Gui was always indecisive when it came to feelings and was always bullied. Although it was a good thing to cherish relationships, it was not good when things were taken to the extreme. If she valued a relationship too much, she would only end up getting hurt.
