“How can someone be dressed so simply at such an important banquet ” Xia Bai muttered in disdain, her voice loud enough for everyone at the table to hear.

“Miss Tang, did you come here immediately after the school day ended?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I swapped classes with a fellow teacher. Otherwise, I would definitely be late. I came in a hurry so I’m still wearing my work clothes. I apologize for that,” Tang Hui said.

The moment Xia Bai heard that Tang Hui was a teacher, her eyes lit up. She immediately smiled and asked, “Oh! You’re a teacher! Which school are you from?”

“Seventh High,” Tang Hui replied truthfully.

Xia Bai’s attitude immediately took a 180-degree turn! She had a child who was in high school. Back in the northwest, she had no choice. All the family’s children had to study at the school run by the research institute, but things were different in the capital. There were so many good schools here.

However, all the good schools in the capital impose requirements in the students. Some schools needed the students to meet certain minimum grades, while some schools needed to know the student’s home address as only those who live in the neighborhood near the school could study in that school.

The best high school in the capital was Sixth High, followed by Seventh High. Xia Bai had been worried that she did not know anyone who could help get her child into either school. She did not expect to be able to gain so much from this dinner!

There was another woman present whom Qiao Mei had never seen before. She leaned against Xia You and asked softly, “Who is that woman? Who brought her here?”

“I heard that Meng Yuan went on a blind date with her. Meng Yuan is already at the age when he should get married. My mother is especially anxious and has introduced many nice girls to him, but he doesn’t think highly of them. This girl is the only one he’s willing to talk to. I think her name is Bian Ke,” Xia You said softly.

“Bian Ke. I don’t think there are many families with the surname ‘Bian’ in the capital,” Qiao Mei said.

“I don’t know who’s the one who introduced her in the first place. My mother says that she’s a kindergarten teacher and will definitely be able to take care of the children well in the future! She told them to get to know each other first,” Xia You said.

Bian Ke was quite petite and looked very cute. She sat beside Xu Lan and kept smiling, looking like an exquisite doll. It was no wonder that Meng Yuan would be attracted to her.

Qiao Mei kept thinking that Bian Ke looked a little familiar, but she could not remember where she had seen the girl before. Since Meng Yuan liked the girl, she would leave it at that for now. When she was done with all her work on hand, she would get Yao Nian to investigate Bian Ke’s background.

When all the dishes were served, everyone started eating. The table was quite big and Qiao Mei helped to take some food for Tang Hui. Xia Xing kept staring in Qiao Mei’s direction and said fiercely, “Evil attracts evil!”

“Xia Xing! How can you say that!” Xia Guang said as he glared at Xia Xing.

“What did I say! Isn’t that the truth! That is an apt description of the two of them! This woman must have a motive for getting close to you!” Xia Xing said agitatedly.

Xia Jun put down his chopsticks and said with some anger, “Xia Xing! We’re all having our meal! Be careful about what you say! If you don’t want to eat, then get lost!”

“Grandfather! I’m your biological grandson! The two of them are outsiders!” Xia Xing looked at Xia Jun in disbelief.

“You still have the cheek to comment about others! Do you think you’re better than everyone else here! Are you proud of those nasty things which your family did! You know that your current workplace unit places a lot of importance on educational qualifications. You’ve sat for the university admission examinations so many times, but have you gotten in yet? You don’t focus on the right things and just dwell on these household issues every day! Do you even retain any knowledge from all the books you read!” Xia Jun scolded angrily.

Xia Xing lowered his head and remained silent. Xia Jun was right. He was indeed a good-for-nothing, but he also had his dignity! No matter how bad a person his mother was, she was still his biological mother! No one was allowed to covet his mother’s position!

“Father, let’s eat. The kid didn’t do it on purpose,” Xia Guang said.

“Teach your son properly!” Xia Jun said.

Xia Xing left the villa without looking back. Before he left, he even glared fiercely at Qiao Mei. She felt very helpless. She had helped Xia Xing so much to allow him to live his current life in peace. She did not expect him to end up hating her because of Zhou Hua.

However, Qiao Mei could understand where he was coming from. After all, she was only his cousin-in-law while Zhou Hua was his biological mother. Blood was definitely thicker than water. Zhou Hua must have said a lot of bad things about Qiao Mei in front of Xia Xing after she returned to the capital this time round.

After dinner, Qiao Mei let everyone walk around and tour the house. She had already locked all the important rooms. She brought Tang Hui to one side and said, “When are you going to marry into the Xia family?”

“I thought that in the family, your third uncle should be most anxious about this issue. I didn’t expect you to be even more anxious than him!” Tang Hui said with a smile.

“I’m just curious. Quick, tell me what you have in mind!” Qiao Mei said.
