when xia zhe returned home that night, he told qiao mei that the xia family’s eldest and second branch families had organized a gathering at xu lan’s house the next night to celebrate his return.
“then should we ask tang hui to come along?” qiao mei asked.
“let’s not. it’ll be awkward for her. she’s not close to anyone other than you. what if xia xing and the others decide to come by and cause trouble?” xia zhe said.
qiao mei nodded in agreement. anyway, tang hui was not a person who liked crowds. she might be happier not to get an invitation to such an event.
the xia family used to hold their gatherings in the morning, but ever since qiao mei married into the family, the gatherings organized by the eldest branch family would only start from the afternoon onwards. at noon, xu lan told the helper to make some snacks for everyone to fill their stomachs first.
when the couple arrived at xu lan’s house, everyone else was already there, including gao long. when gao long saw xia zhe, he was shocked. he did not know that xia zhe and fang chen were actually the same person. he had thought that “fang chen” was qiao mei’s lover in country m and that she had cut off all contact with him after returning home.
“you...” before gao long could finish his sentence, xia zhe quickly said, “hello, i’m qiao mei’s husband. she has already told me about you. i should address you as uncle too. please forgive me for not being more formal at our first meeting.”
“hello... it’s fine. i also didn’t get anything for you. let’s meet up again another time,” gao long said, putting on a calm face. they were both experienced businessmen and were used to dealing with all kinds of tense situations. gao long could understand that xia zhe must have a reason for not wanting to reveal his identity.
since everyone had spent a lot of time with gao long, they knew and trusted that he was a good person. however, they were more concerned about whether xia mo would accept xia wan’s intention to get remarried.
“have you asked xiao mo for her opinion?” xia jun continued to ask.
“i... i haven’t had time to ask her...” xia wan said fearfully.
it was not that she did not have the time to ask xia mo, but more like she did not dare to ask xia mo about this. she was very scared that xia mo did not want to accept gao long and she was also very afraid that xia mo would in turn have a bad impression of her.
“we don’t object to you getting married, but you’re a mother after all. you need to consider xia mo’s feelings. xia mo isn’t a young child anymore, so you should talk to her about these things. if xia mo doesn’t want to accept the situation... then send her back here and let her stay with xia xiu. since xia xiu doesn’t have any children, we can let her nurture xia mo into her successor,” xia jun said.
“no! xia mo must stay with me!” xia wan said agitatedly.
gao long immediately patted her shoulder and said, “relax, this is just a discussion. they’re not saying that we have to send xia mo back.”
xia wan composed herself and then said, “xia mo must grow up by my side. i can take good care of her. i’ll discuss this matter with her properly.”
“if xia mo doesn’t accept the fact that you’re expecting a baby, will you go for an abortion?” xia jun questioned.
“i...” xia wan hesitated. she did not know how to choose. this baby was the result of the union between her and gao long, the crystallization of their love. she could not bear to abort the baby just like that.
