1003 Brainless

Xia He ran to the public phone at the entrance of the alley and returned calls to everyone one by one. Xia Mao was puzzled as to why Xia He had transferred so many guards over to her side overnight. He had thought that something had happened to Qiao Mei and was glad to know that Qiao Mei was safe and sound. Xu Lan had the same concerns as Xia Mao.

Luo Yu wanted to provide a brief report on what happened last night, as well as the conclusion of the interrogation session. Xia He was unable to make a decision, so she asked him to come to Qiao Mei’s house in the afternoon to explain the situation in person.

Finally, Xia He called Xia Wen nervously. After a few rings, Xia Wen picked up the phone.

“Hello? Who is this?” Xia Wen asked coldly.

“Big brother… It’s Xia He. Why did you call me this morning?” Xia He asked guiltily.

Xia Wen laughed coldly and said, “I’m the person who’s in charge of the Xia family’s guard team after all. Half the guard team suddenly disappeared overnight, shouldn’t I find out more about it? What are you afraid of? Is it because of a guilty conscience that you dare not talk to me? What trouble have you caused outside? ”

The person who knew Xia He best in the Xia family was none other than Xia Wen. From a young age, Xia He would never address him as “big brother”. She felt that this form of address was too intimate. She would usually call him eldest brother or by his full name. She would only call him “big brother” when she felt guilty or when she was in trouble.

“I just know I shouldn’t return your call. Qiao Mei doesn’t want me to tell you about this matter. We’ll tell you the whole story after we’ve dealt with it. We’re all fine. It’s just that Qiao Mei’s relative came around,” Xia He said with a sigh.

“Qiao Yu?” Xia Wen probed.

“How do you know! Did you send someone to monitor us!” Xia He said in shock.

Xia Wen held on to his forehead. He really could not understand why he had such a silly sister. Even Xia Zhe was not that stupid. Could it be that all the smart genes in their family were only passed down to the men? However, those female cousins from the families of their Second Aunt-in-law and Third Aunt-in-law were all very outstanding people. Why was Xia He so… innocent?

The Liang family had always been under the surveillance of the Xia family and there had not been any negative news coming from that side recently. Since the issue did not originate from the Liang family, then the only scourge left was Qiao Yu. If it was not Qiao Yu, as if it could be Li Gui!

There was really nothing he could do about this silly sister of his.

“Your brother is someone with brains. Otherwise, how can I survive in the government sector? I’ll go and look for you after work,” Xia Wen said.

Xia He quickly refused and said, “Don’t come! If you come, how am I going to explain it to Qiao Mei! She must know that I’m the one who tipped you off! You can’t come! Besides… besides, if you come by, Eldest Sister-in-law will come looking for trouble again when she finds out. You’d better go home as normal.”

The fact was that Xia Wen did not speak to Tan Jing at all yesterday. He did not say a single word to her. After sending her home safely, he went to stay in the dormitory at the workplace. They were living separately for the moment as he was really unable to talk to her calmly. After Tan Jing had time to cool down, Xia Wen would go home and talk to her.

“Don’t worry, Qiao Mei won’t scold you. You don’t have to worry about my family issues. It’s settled then. Tell Aunty to count me in when she cooks for tonight,” Xia Wen said bluntly.

This was how Xia Wen and Xia He had decided to address Li Gui, as the form of address sounded both friendly and pleasant to the ears.

“Got it. When you come, don’t say that I’m the one who asks you to come,” Xia He instructed.

“Do you think Qiao Mei is as stupid as you? It’s not as if she can’t work it out for herself. Alright, I still have other things to do. Let’s talk when we meet tonight.” After saying that, Xia Wen hurriedly hung up the phone.

She only found out about this when she came back to the capital and chatted with Luo Yu. Otherwise, she would still be kept in the dark!
