After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2291: Transfer



As long as it would make Li Gui happy, Qiao Mei could give up many things. Money and status were just worldly possessions. Family was the most important thing to her.

"Alright, I promise you," Liu Xiao said.

"Eldest Brother, let's arrange for someone to send her back," Qiao Mei said as she waved her hand.

Xia Wen was not even annoyed at being treated like a secretary. He left with Liu Xiao, leaving Xia He and Qiao Mei alone in the room. It had been a tiring day and Qiao Mei was totally exhausted, both physically and mentally.

"So is this issue considered settled? Is Auntie Li really going to marry into the family?" Xia He still felt as if everything was so unreal.

A few days ago, she was still trying to imagine the kind of person Li Gui's life partner would be like. She did not expect this day to come so suddenly.

"Of course not. I'm going to send both of them away from here," Qiao Mei said as she pinched the bridge of her nose.

"Send them away? Where are you sending them to? Auntie Li won't be staying in the capital in the future?" Xia He said in shock.

"Don't be so worked up. It's only temporary. Once Old Madam Xu knows how to behave herself, my mother will come back," Qiao Mei said comfortingly.

Xia He only kept quiet after hearing that. It seemed to her that Qiao Mei's plan was the best solution for now. Not long after, Xu Ba received a transfer letter from his superiors, informing him that he was going to be sent to Hu City.

Anyone else would be happy to receive such good news. The capital was only the political center of the country and the salary and benefits here could not be compared to Hu City, which was the economic center!

Although it looked like a lateral transfer, it was obvious to everyone that this was an/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

promotion! It seemed that Xu Ba was already getting benefits by being related to the Xia family!

Xu Ba was not at all happy about this matter. He went to Qiao Mei with the transfer letter and asked, "Is this the handiwork of you or your eldest brother?"

"It's me. There's no need for my eldest brother to get involved with such a minor thing," Qiao Mei said calmly.

"I thought you had agreed to let your mother continue seeing me? Why are you doing this now? If there's anything about me that you're dissatisfied with, you can bring it up and I can change!" Xu Ba said.

"Then kneel down in front of me. If you kneel down, I can think about it," Qiao Mei said casually to test him.

Xu Ba fell silent. He would not do something that was so insulting. Even if he loved Li Gui very much, he could not do it. Even though he loved Li Gui, it was more important to him to love himself.

"I'm sorry, I can't do it," Xu Ba said.

"I'm just joking. I'm trying to see if you'll throw away your dignity for my mother. Don't worry, I approve of the two of you being together, but I also want to clear all the obstacles for my mother. My mother will go to Hu City with you," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"Really? Then when are we leaving? Is it too late for me to buy a ticket for her now? No no, the accommodation over there is not settled yet! I'll go over and find a place to stay first, then I'll come and pick her up when everything is settled!" Xu Ba said excitedly.

Qiao Mei could tell that Xu Ba was a very thoughtful person. It was no wonder that Li Gui fell for him. It was indeed a little overboard to ask that Old Madam Xu leave Xu Ba's side, but there was nothing she could do about it. She had to protect her mother first and foremost. "There's no hurry to transfer over there. Take your time," Qiao Mei said.

"But... but will your mother come with me? Can you bear to let her go?" Xu Ba asked.

For sure Qiao Mei could not bear to part with her mother, but she had no better choice. She looked at Xu Ba and said, "I'll try to persuade her. It's very cold in the north and she has suffered a lot in the past. She feels fine during the summer but during the other seasons, when it gets cold, her bones will ache all over. The weather in the south is more suitable for her."

"She has never told me about these things..." Xu Ba said self-reproachfully.

"You just need to take good care of her in the future. You don't have to worry about whether she will go or not. Go and handle your transfer," Qiao Mei said.

Xia He had been standing outside the door the whole time. After Xu Ba left, she walked out and said, "Auntie Li has long recovered. You're telling lies~"

"For the sake of my mother's happiness, it's worth the effort to lie," Qiao Mei said.

"Old Madam Xu is not handicapped. Can't she just buy a train ticket to go to Hu City to look for Xu Ba?" Xia He asked.

"I have other ways to hold her back. With me around, she won't be able to leave the capital," Qiao Mei said confidently.

Seeing that Qiao Mei already had a plan in mind, Xia He did not say anything else. When Li Gui returned that night, she surprised everyone with her decision.

"I'm not going," Li Gui said without hesitation.

"Why? I'll get someone else to take care of the business in the capital. Sister Feng will be in charge at home so everything will be fine," Qiao Mei said.

"Then what about the four children?" Li Gui asked.

Qiao Mei was stunned for a moment. She had actually forgotten about the four children. She immediately said, "They can just go to school there. Li Wei is the only one who can't leave. He's doing quite well in the military academy and they have already made the exception to take him in."
