After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 2426: Xia Wen In TroubleChapter 2426: Xia Wen In Trouble
Qiao Mei could tell that Liu Fen felt genuinely happy now. She did not know how long this happiness would last. Looking at the nature of this child’s biological parents, he would definitely be the type to fight for a share of the assets when he grew up. She hoped that this child would know how to feel grateful when the time came.
Qiao Mei’s four children all grew up well and it was peaceful and quiet for the next two weeks. She regained her health and even managed to look healthier and prettier than before!
“I’m back!” Xia Zhe smiled as he walked into the living room bearing gifts of toys.
The children rushed forward to hug Xia Zhe, clamoring for him to carry them and lift them up high. The chaotic scene made Xia Zhe feel flustered. Xia Fan stepped up to take the toys from Xia Zhe and put them aside.
“Xia Xing! Xia Yue!” Xia Fan stood at the side and shouted.
“Here!” Xia Xing and Xia Yue yelled back in unison.
“Come and line up here! Papa works hard at his job and it’s very tiring for him! He can only carry one of us at a time! The youngest gets to go first! Xia Yue goes first! Then Xia Xing! I’ll go last!” Xia Fan said.
The other two children were very obedient and followed Xia Fan’s instructions. They lined up properly in front of Xia Zhe and Xia Fan took the initiative to stand right at the back. After that, all Xia Zhe could see were three pairs of innocent puppy eyes looking up at him.
This was also the first time Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei realized that Xia Fan could control the situation so well and take such good care of his siblings.
“Alright~ Papa will carry you one by one!” Xia Zhe said happily.
Xia Fan was a big boy by now. He looked more and more like Xia Zhe and even his temperament was the same. When he spoke, he looked and sounded like he was carved from the same mold as his father!
“What have you been busy with recently? Why do you go out early and come back so late every day?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.
“There’s a batch of new recruits in the army. I’m mainly in charge of taking care of the newbies now. I don’t handle anything related to missions anymore. I guess this is quite a nice and relaxed posting,” Xia Zhe said.
“It’s good to hear that you’re not involved in anything dangerous. However, nothing is more important than you being able to do what you want. You can go on missions if you want,” Qiao Mei said.
Xia Zhe shook his head. He no longer had those lofty dreams anymore. In the past, his wish was to protect his country well, even if it meant sacrificing his life. However, he was much older now and must give the newbies a chance. At the same time, he also had his own family to take care of. Unless it was a mission that really required his expertise, otherwise he wanted to give the chance to the newbies to shine.
“Ring, ring, ring!!!”
The phone suddenly rang. Qiao Mei picked it up and asked, “Who is this?”
“It’s me. I’m in trouble. Bring the medicine to the restaurant now.” After saying that, the person on the other end of the line hung up. Qiao Mei could identify voices very well and she immediately knew that it was Xia Wen.
“What’s wrong?” Xia Zhe asked.
“Eldest Brother seems to be in trouble.” Qiao Mei stuffed Xia Yang in Xia Zhe’s arms and said, “Stay at home and look after the children. I’ll go and check on Eldest Brother.”
“I’ll go,” Xia Zhe said.
“There’s no need. Furthermore, you’re usually not at home. Since Eldest Brother called to look for me, it means that I can solve this matter. You don’t have to go. If I need you there, I’ll call you immediately.” With that, Qiao Mei left with the medicine box.
The box was filled with bottles of golden medicinal wine, that life-saving “divine medicine”. Qiao Mei did not know what had happened to Xia Wen, so she had no choice but to bring everything with her.
When Qiao Mei rushed out, Xiao Zhuang followed closely behind. If he set off any later, Xia Zhe might start to shoot daggers from his eyes!
When Qiao Mei arrived at the restaurant, there were no guests inside. She realized that the problem was bigger than she expected. Ever since Li Gui opened this restaurant, Xia Wen only hosted his guests here and would not choose any other venue. After all, he felt more at ease when he was surrounded by his own people.
She wondered which influential person Xia Wen had offended, since it was one who could make him clear the restaurant of all the patrons.
“Where is he?” Qiao Mei asked Molly.
“In the private room upstairs, the one with the door closed,” Molly said with a stern look.
Qiao Mei hurried upstairs and knocked on the door. She asked cautiously, “Eldest Brother, can I come in?”
“Come in…” Xia Wen said weakly.
When Qiao Mei pushed open the door, she saw Xia Wen sitting on the sofa in a disheveled state. There were scratches on his chest and neck and his face looked abnormally red. Qiao Mei immediately determined that Xia Wen had likely been drugged. She quickly opened the medicine box and passed Xia Wen a pill.
“Go and take a look at her. We can’t let her die,” Xia Wen said as he pointed at a woman in the corner.
Only then did Qiao Mei realize that there was a woman lying on the floor in one corner of the room. There were also many people standing there and everyone looked very awkward.
There were faint traces of blood around the woman and her hair was in a mess. There were also some broken glass shards around her. It seemed that she had fallen unconscious from a heavy blow to the head using the wine bottle.
“Have you rang the hospital for an ambulance?” Qiao Mei asked.
