Chapter 2387: Childhood Playmates
“Oh, does this constitute being nice to you? You shouldn’t be thanking us, but yourself. It’s very impressive that you are able to struggle your way out of such a family,” Qiao Mei said.
During the time when Qiao Mei lived at Qiao Zhuang’s house, she had a deep understanding of what it meant to live a life worse than death. Sun Yuan’s experience was likely not any better than hers. She understood the amount of effort that was needed for a person to come to the capital from the countryside and build a new life. Qiao Mei was only offering a helping hand. If Sun Yuan was someone who did not want to work hard, it would be useless no matter how hard others tried to help her.
The dishes were already served, so they had their meal and then prepared to leave. Just as they reached the main door, they heard a voice shouting outside, “Bad news! Bad news!”
Xia Yuan took a closer look and realized that it was Xia You! Xia You had been busy working and taking care of her pregnancy recently. None of them had seen her for a long time. What happened today?
“Speak slowly, don’t be anxious,” Qiao Mei said as she handed Xia You a cup of tea.
“My younger brother… something has happened to my younger brother!” Xia You said as she panted heavily.
Xia Yuan was currently standing in front of Xia You, so the person Xia You was talking about must be Xia Yu!
“What happened to Xia Yu?” Xia Yuan asked immediately.
Liu Fen’s maternal family members had recently come to stay in the capital for a period of time as they had heard about Xia Yuan’s upcoming wedding. These people must have come with a purpose.
“Do you remember we have two cousins, Liu Cui and Liu Nian?” Xia You said as she looked at Xia Yuan.
Xia Yuan tried to recall the faces of these two people. Although he had some impression of the names, he could not remember what they looked like at all.
“I haven’t seen them for more than 10 years. Why are you talking about this now?” Xia Yuan asked.
“These two are now at Xia Yu’s house! They’re crying and asking Xia Yu to take responsibility! They say that there was an arranged marriage made in the past! You’re closest to Xia Yu. Do you remember what Xia Yu said to them in the past?” Xia You asked.
Even Xia Yu, the person involved, did not know anything about this, let alone Xia Yuan. Although the four kids always played together when they were young, it was such a long time ago that everything was just a distant memory. Even if Xia Yu had really made a promise back then, it was just a joke made by a child and could not be taken seriously at all.
The few of them immediately drove to Xia Yu’s house. As they stood outside the main door, everyone turned in unison to look at Qiao Mei worriedly. Qiao Mei was the only one who was eager to go and hear the gossip!
“Qiao Mei, you’re due to give birth soon. It’s already been a long day. Why don’t you go home first and I’ll come over tomorrow to tell you how the matter is settled,” Xia He said.
“No, no! I’m in good health! You don’t have to worry about me! Let’s go in!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.
There were many people sitting in the living room and it was very crowded. Qiao Mei immediately knew which ones were Liu Cui and Liu Nian. They were both quite good-looking, but they looked like they were… not so young.
“Do you know anything about them?” Qiao Mei tugged at Xia He and muttered softly.
“I only know that Liu Cui is the elder sister and is already married with children. As for Liu Nian, she is already in her 30s and not married yet! She hasn’t even been in a relationship! I think she’s waiting for someone… Don’t tell me that person is Xia Yu!” Xia He whispered.

Xia Yu looked at his siblings and cousins standing at the door and said helplessly, “You’re here. Come and sit down.”
Qiao Mei looked around but did not see Xia Yu’s wife and child. She immediately asked, “Are you alone at home today? Why don’t I see Cousin-in-law and Snowflake? I want to see how much Snowflake has grown as I want to make her some new clothes.”
“What! You’re already married with children!” Liu Nian exclaimed.
“You haven’t introduced these two people to us yet,” Qiao Mei said after sitting down.
“These two are the children of my mother’s biological elder sister. They grew up in the same courtyard as Xia Yu and Xia Yuan,” Xia You said.
“Is that so? If they have such a close relationship, then why don’t they even know that Xia Yu is married? But then again, the couple was so busy with work and didn’t even organize a wedding ceremony at that time. They only gathered the family together for a meal. It’s normal that others don’t know about it,” Qiao Mei said regretfully.
“How is that possible… Xia Yu, didn’t you say that you will only love me!” Liu Nian said as she looked at Xia Yu with tears in her eyes.
Coincidentally, at the same moment, Yun Lan and Xia Xue reached home and opened the door. Xia Yu went over to Yun Lan nervously and said, “Dear, these are my eldest aunt’s two daughters. They’re here to take a look at our child. They didn’t tell me in advance that they are coming to visit and Mother also only just knew.”
“It’s my fault for not being a good host. It just so happened that I brought Snowflake out today. Snowflake, come and greet your two aunts,” Yun Lan said with a straight face.
