chapter 2356: the wedding date
"i'm praising you for being young!" xu lan said.
"i can only be your younger sister at most! don't spout nonsense!" li gui said.
"the two of you are equally as young. you'll remain healthy if you keep drinking my medicinal wine! you must continue doing it!" qiao mei reminded them.
they said in unison, "we know!"
"alright, alright! let me organize your wedding for you. how can the bride be the one to handle all these troublesome matters," xu lan said.
li gui quickly rejected the gesture and said, "no need, no need! xu ba and i have already discussed the issue. i'm a person who has already been married before, so it's not appropriate for me to hold a grand wedding. we'll just get our relatives and friends to gather together for a meal! there's no need to go through any trouble!"
"what are you saying! can't a person get married again after getting divorced! we should show off to them! that you can have a better life! that your days can only get better! let them be jealous!" xu lan said agitatedly.
"you must organize and go through with the ceremony. we can't let the xu family think that you have no backing from your family," qiao qiang said sternly.
li gui nodded in satisfaction. at least there was still someone in this world who could stop qiao mei. she was very happy for one moment, but in the next second, she found it hard to smile anymore.
"it's too tiring for us to go there. let's ask her to come to our house," xia zhe said with a smile.
"that's true! you're still the smartest! i'll give them a call tomorrow! get them to come over! they definitely have to come and discuss such a big matter with us!" qiao mei said happily.
it was not that li gui was siding with the xu family. she was just worried that qiao mei would be at a disadvantage if she went to the xu family's house as they had many family members on their side. however, it would be a different scenario if they invited the xu family to come over. qiao mei's house was under the protection of the xia family's guard team, so nothing bad would happen.
the next morning, qiao mei asked feng hua to make a call to the xu family and ask all of them to come over to discuss the wedding of li gui and xu ba. she also asked feng hua to emphasize that it had to be "everyone in the xu family" and that not a single person could be absent.
all the xu family members felt very happy. the happiest person was definitely liu xiao. she did not care about old madam xu at all nowadays, nor did she care if li gui would have a higher status than her in the family. at the moment, her mind was filled with xu tian and his issues. she wanted to hold on to xu tian tightly and definitely could not let him divorce her!
liu xiao knew that if she could garner the support of someone as influential as qiao mei, her life in the xu family would not be difficult!
recently, liu xiao had realized that something was not quite right. xu tian had been going on frequent business trips recently. even on usual days, he always left home early and returned late and she did not get to see him much. moreover, he seemed to go out socializing more and more.
sometimes, liu xiao would notice strands of long hair on xu tian's clothes and he also smelled of sweet perfume. liu xiao knew all the female employees in the factory. these women did not pay much attention to their appearance and did not even know what perfume was. only the new employee, a female university graduate, wore this type of perfume. she had tried to probe, but all she got in return was verbal and physical abuse from xu tian. there was nothing she could do but endure it silently, but she really felt at her wits' end recently and wanted to take this opportunity to ask qiao mei about what she should do.
