Editor: Atlas Studios
After two days, Li Gui and Xu Ba had discussed everything and came to Qiao Mei’s house to ask for her opinion.
“I think it’s fine. It’s just that there are too few varieties in the menu and the guest list is still a little sparse. I can just invite a few more people. Everything else looks alright.” Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction.
In the beginning, Qiao Mei had planned to hold the banquet at home so that it would be grand and extravagant. However, she could not get Li Gui to go along with this idea, so they would be holding it at Li Gui’s restaurant.
“Erm… should we invite the Li family?” Xu Ba asked as he looked at Qiao Mei warily.
“There’s no need. It’s not my mother’s first marriage and there’s no point in informing them. She can decide on her own issues.”
If the Li family found out about this, they would definitely take the opportunity to come and cause trouble and extort another sum of money. If that happened, the Xu family would use the issue as an excuse to make things difficult for Li Gui. She would never be able to hold her head up high in the Xu family.
Late at night, Qiao Mei decided to go for a walk with Xia Zhe. There was a new park near their house. After Xia Zhe returned home, he still did not have a chance to see how the capital had changed over the past two years!
Qiao Mei finally had her wish come true! She could hold Xia Zhe’s hand openly and not let go. She had been feeling so suffocated all this while!
The moment they walked out of the alley, a dowdy woman rushed towards Qiao Mei. She was so shocked that she quickly hid behind Xia Zhe.
“Qiao Mei! Save me! Please save me! You had said that you would help me!” the woman said in a panicky voice.
Qiao Mei looked at the woman in front of her closely and it took her a long time to realize that it was Xu Tian’s wife, Liu Xiao! She wondered how the glamorous wife of the factory director became like this. This woman was wearing old patched clothes and she was even wearing long sleeves in such warm weather!
Liu Xiao had been helping Qiao Mei keep an eye on the Xu family, but they only communicated by letter and did not meet face to face.
“Why… are you looking for me?” Qiao Mei asked.
“I’ve done everything you asked me to do! I can’t live anymore! You have to help me! Only you can help me!” Liu Xiao said as she rolled up her sleeves to show Qiao Mei the bruises all over her arms.
Xia Zhe frowned. He really hated men who hit women!
“Let’s talk in the house. There are too many people here.” After saying that, Qiao Mei led Liu Xiao towards the direction of home. However, she did not go to her own house, but to Li Gui’s house instead.
After Li Gui moved out, the place had been uninhabited for a long time. From time to time, Qiao Mei would get someone to come and clean it up. Although she did not know if there were any Xu family’s spies nearby, it was still better to be careful.
“Tell me, why are you looking for me?” Qiao Mei asked as she sat down in the living room.
The moment Qiao Mei finished speaking, Liu Xiao started crying. She yelled out at the top of her lungs, “That bastard Xu Tian is having an affair! And there’s even more than one woman involved!”
“Whatever it is, talk to me properly. Don’t wail. Look at yourself. People who don’t know any better might even think that I’m bullying you!” Qiao Mei said helplessly.
Liu Xiao stopped crying and looked at Qiao Mei pitifully, saying, “I… I really don’t know what to do…”
“First, tell me how you got all your injuries.” Although Qiao Mei already knew, she still wanted to get a clear answer.
“Xu Tian beat me up! He’s a beast!” Liu Xiao said.
“Based on your injuries, it doesn’t look like this is the first or second time you’ve been hurt. How long has this been going on?” Qiao Mei continued asking.
“After Xu Ba left… he started beating me up. I can’t even remember how long it has been…” Liu Xiao said aggrievedly.
Qiao Mei frowned. The Xu family really knew how to upkeep their reputation. They acted one way in front of people and another way behind people’s backs. They could even do this to their own family members.
“Then why are you crying? Are you crying for yourself or for him? Why do you want to cry over a man who bullies you, beats you and insults you every day?” Qiao Mei questioned.
“But he has another woman outside! I…” Before Liu Xiao could finish speaking, Qiao Mei interrupted her, saying, “Isn’t it better if he doesn’t go home? Then he won’t beat you up!”
“What if he gets charmed by the vixen outside? He may come back and divorce me one day! I can’t divorce him! My maternal family won’t take me back! I’m already so old plus I don’t have a well-to-do maternal family and I don’t have good looks. I won’t be able to remarry! I won’t be able to survive!” Liu Xiao said in a panic.
Both Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe sighed. In the face of such a situation, they could only feel helpless and unsure. After all, no one would be able to fully understand how she felt.
