Chapter 2405: Give Away the Child

“Really?” Qiao Mei asked doubtfully.

“Yes! Zhao Zhi has a girlfriend! The two of them are very loving! Don’t talk nonsense!” Li Gui said.

“Oh~” Qiao Mei was completely relieved. It seemed that everyone was just thinking too much and there was nothing going on between them.

Li Gui said as she looked through the account ledgers, “Furthermore, Zhao Zhi’s girlfriend is the accountant at my restaurant. I’m usually very busy and she’s the one who helps me out. She’s also a beautiful girl and a university student! Zhao Zhi is not very good-looking so he is really lucky.”

The more Qiao Mei listened, the more she felt that something was wrong. In her other life, she had a professor who specialized in civil litigation. She had seen many similar cases where an entrepreneur would act like a business partner to a business owner and then colluded with the business owner’s secretary to eventually transfer the business to the entrepreneur. There were countless such cases.

It looked like Qiao Mei still had to go to Li Gui’s place to take a look for herself. She could also bring along some gifts for her younger siblings since she had not seen them for a long time.

Wu Duo had gone to Guang City sometime back and no one knew how he was doing there.

Every month, Qiao Mei would receive a stack of telegrams from Guang City filled with all kinds of questions from Wu Duo. If this continued, Qiao Mei’s study would be buried under Wu Duo’s telegrams!

On the day that Wu Duo finally became successful, Qiao Mei would definitely bind these telegrams into a book and put them in the chronicles of his company’s history so that the future employees could see how their boss became rich.

“Hello? Mei Mei, are you still there? Is there something wrong with the phone line?” Li Gui asked curiously.

If she told Li Gui about those scam cases now, there was very little credibility. Zhao Zhi and his girlfriend had not done anything bad to Li Gui yet.

Li Gui always thought well of people and did not think that the people around her would want to hurt her.

Qiao Mei did not want to ruin Li Gui’s “niceness”. She would work hard to do what she could and not let Li Gui get hurt.

“Oh, oh! I’m here! I was just in a daze just now!” Qiao Mei said quickly.

“Are you very tired recently? I’d better go back and visit you,” Li Gui asked worriedly.

“I’m fine. By the way, I forgot to tell you. I have arranged for Cai Ming to stay in Old Madam Xu’s neighborhood. That area is very lively now!” Qiao Mei said gloatingly.

She had heard from Yao Nian that Cai Ming quarreled with the Xu family every day, causing chaos in the entire neighborhood. There were even many neighbors who went to argue with them, but Cai Ming and Old Madam Xu were both people not to be trifled with. In the end, the neighbors had no choice but to take a step back and several families had already moved out.

When Li Gui heard this, she only felt melancholic and could not even laugh about it at all.

Qiao Mei could sense Li Gui’s emotions and asked tentatively, “Mom, do you still like Uncle Xu?”

“I don’t want to think too much anymore. If Cai Ming is so capable, I won’t be able to win against her. I don’t want to live a life where I quarrel with someone every day in the future either. Let nature take its course,” Li Gui said.

Qiao Mei knew that Li Gui could not let go, but yet she could not get over this knot in her heart. She did not know how things would go for Xu Ba and Li Gui in the future.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Mei wondered when she could go and visit Li Gui. Xia Yang was still young and had just returned home, and he needed his mother next to him. Perhaps she could bring Xia Yang with her to Guang City?

This seemed like a good idea.

Early the next morning, Xia He rushed over to the house.

“Sigh… I have some bad news for you,” Xia He said with a sigh.

“Then you’d better not say anything. You wake me up so early in the morning just for something like this?” Qiao Mei asked with a yawn.

“No, it’s very serious.” Xia He took out a photo and said, “Take a look. This is the child you had brought home mistakenly. That family doesn’t want this child anymore. They secretly tried to send the child back a few times but we chased them away. However, they refused to give up and insisted on sending the child over. I have run out of ways.”

Although it was not very cold in this season, there was still a chill at night and children could easily catch a cold.

“That child is not in good health to begin with. If the child should catch a cold again, surely the child will die,” Qiao Mei said with a frown.

At first, Qiao Mei hated that child because if the child did not exist, her Xia Yang would not have been taken away. However, even if this child was not there, there would still be other children. At the end of the day, the child was innocent.

“Make a decision,” Xia He said.

“What about sending the child to the orphanage?” Qiao Mei asked.

“No, they’ll still send the child back to us. The people from the orphanage can’t do anything about it. These people are the child’s biological parents and they have the right to take the child out,” Xia He said.

“They are really putting in a lot of effort to let their child have a good life,” Qiao Mei said.
