After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
1082 Because She Is Worth It
Xu Lan did not feel happy at all. Xia Mao was already so old, so the promotion did not matter at all. His health was no longer as good as before. This time, it was all thanks to Qiao Mei's "divine medicine". If Xia Zhe had not married Qiao Mei, or if Qiao Mei was a person who did not know anything, would Xia Mao still be alive?
In the past, she believed in Xia Mao's capability and always felt that he would handle everything well. However, when she received the news that he had met with an accident, she felt as if the sky was about to collapse on her. Nothing was more important than being alive.
Tan Jing woke up early in the morning and thought for a long time. In the end, she decided to return to Qiao Mei's house. The most important thing now was to discuss the adoption issue with Xia Wen. The child would be arriving in the capital very soon and she must finalize this matter today to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
When she reached the main door of Qiao Mei's house, she saw two guards standing on both sides. They were only responsible for checking on the identities of the people coming and going and they did not have the authority to open the door for her.
Tan Jing tried to push the door open, but it was locked from the inside. It was impossible to push it open from the outside. At this time of the day, everyone would be in the backyard and it was very likely that no one would hear her knocking on the door to the front yard. Tan Jing knocked forcefully, hoping to attract the attention of the people in the house to open the door for her.
Xu Lan quickly walked out of the main hall and opened the door with a smile on her face. However, when she saw Tan Jing, her face instantly fell.
"Why are you coming back from outside?" Xu Lan asked.
"I… Something happened at my parents' house yesterday and I left in a rush. I forgot to tell you…" Tan Jing lowered her head and whispered.
"Next time, either use the back door or come back in the afternoon. Qiao Mei is still sleeping in her room. You could have woken her up when you banged on the door so hard just now," Xu Lan said with a frown.
Tan Jing clenched her fists tightly and gritted her teeth so hard that there was an audible sound.
Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei! Qiao Mei again! She had been gone for an entire day and the Xia family did not even seem to notice. Even when she knocked on the door to come into the house, she had to keep track of the time so that she did not disrupt Qiao Mei's rest or disturb her peace and quiet. She felt so humiliated.
They were both the Xia family's daughters-in-law!
Why did she have to wake up early to serve the entire family while Qiao Mei could sleep in!
Why did she have to endure it when she was hungry, while Qiao Mei could get Auntie Fan to make a lot of delicious food the moment she was hungry!
Why was it that even though they were all part of the Xia family's younger generation, she could not live in such a nice courtyard house while Qiao Mei could enjoy life here!
This was so unfair!
Tan Jing glared fiercely at Xu Lan. Xu Lan was not a good-tempered person, so she stared back and said, "Why? Do you have something to say?"
"No," Tan Jing said as she suppressed the anger in her heart.
After all, Xu Lan was Xia Wen's mother and her elder. If she made Xu Lan angry, nothing good would come out of it and Xia Wen would become even more distant from her.
"I think you have something to tell me. You look like you want to eat me up," Xu Lan said mockingly.
"There's just something I don't quite understand. Why are you so nice to Qiao Mei?" Tan Jing asked as she pretended to be calm.
"Because Qiao Mei is worth it. If you want to question me about this, then you should think about what your Tan family has done. All these years, we've helped your family pay off gambling debts, find jobs and even enroll the kids in school. What about Qiao Mei? Qiao Mei's grandfather was Father's savior and now Qiao Mei is also my husband's savior. Tell me, why shouldn't I treat Qiao Mei well?" Xu Lan said.
Just as Tan Jing was about to speak again, Xia Xiu suddenly came to Xu Lan's side and said, "Let's go in. Breakfast is served. My eldest brother is looking for us."
Xu Lan nodded and left the main door angrily without looking back. She decided that she must speak to Xia Wen about this matter. She was already very unhappy with all the things related to the Tan family, and now Tan Jing was being so rude to her. How did Xia Wen find such a wife!
Xia Xiu was about to turn around and leave when she noticed that Tan Jing was rooted to the spot, not wanting to enter the house. She frowned slightly and said, "If you don't want to come in, then go out. The main door of the house isn't open all the time." With that, she left.
