After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!-Chapter 2290: Work with Me

"Let's eat first. We'll talk about these things in the future. There's still a long way to go." After Qiao Mei said that, she picked up her chopsticks and started eating. The others did not dare to continue asking.

It looked like the matter today had ended successfully and Xia Wen heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, there was no fight. Xia He felt a sense of regret though. She was not around the last time, so she did not know what the Xu family was capable of. They did not kick up any fuss this time.

After the meal, before Old Madam Xu left, she said, "Xiao Gui, when you're free, get Xu Ba to bring you over to our house. I'll make you a table full of delicious food!"

"Sure, I'll definitely go when I have time," Li Gui said politely.

Just as everyone was about to leave, Qiao Mei suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

The Xu family members were so shocked that they trembled. Qiao Mei had said this word too many times today and it was starting to have an effect on them! Whenever they heard this word, they would become afraid and think that something bad was going to happen.

"I still have a few things to say to Auntie Liu Xiao. Can you stay for a chat? I'll arrange for someone to send you back later," Qiao Mei said.

"Her? She doesn't know anything and also has a bad temper. What if she offends you again? You can tell me if you need something!" Xu Tian said as he hurriedly stood in front of Liu Xiao.

"After all, there were some misunderstandings between us the last time. If we become a family in the future, it won't be good to have so many misunderstandings. Don't you think so, Director Xu?" Qiao Mei said sternly.

Xu Tian trembled in fear. Qiao Mei was someone who could destroy his factory with just one word. He could not afford to offend her!

"Behave yourself! You should know what to say and what not to say!" Xu Tian warned Liu Xiao softly.

"I... I know..." Liu Xiao said fearfully.

The Xu family members left hurriedly. They were all afraid that if Qiao Mei said anything else, they would not be able to leave at all.

Qiao Mei brought Liu Xiao to the office upstairs. Liu Xiao tried her best to muster her courage and said, "Why do you want to see me alone?"

Qiao Mei took out a small box of paste from her pocket and handed it to Liu Xiao. "After you go back, apply this secretly. It will help your wound heal faster."

Xia Wen and Xia He were both very shocked by Qiao Mei's actions. They did not understand why Qiao Mei would do this. Why would she give such a precious ointment to Liu Xiao for nothing?

"Why are you giving me this? Who knows if it's poisonous," Liu Xiao said.

"Not bad. You're very vigilant and not that stupid. I just don't want to see you beaten up by Xu Tian to a pulp," Qiao Mei said.

Liu Xiao did not answer. She could not tell outsiders about these things. Xu Tian always beat her up in secret and did not even let her make a sound, otherwise he would hit her even harder.

"You must be very scared that after my mother marries into the Xu family, you will lose your status. You don't have to think that way at all. After all, my mother is destined to marry into the Xu family," Qiao Mei said.

"Are you warning me?" Liu Xiao asked.

"Not really. You know very well how much the Xu family wants my mother to marry into the family, especially Xu Tian. He can't wait to become related to me as soon as possible so that his factory can thrive. Am I right?" Qiao Mei said.

What Qiao Mei said was indeed true. Xu Tian had also mentioned these to her before.

"If you continue to try to block the matter, it doesn't matter what I think. We will kick the Xu family aside. At that time, you'd be lucky to stay alive," Qiao Mei said.

"It's illegal to commit murder! They won't treat me like this! I've been a slave to the Xu family for so many years! They won't abandon me!" Liu Xiao roared.

"That's hard to say. If Xu Tian does well in the future, he can find a young and beautiful new wife who can give him many sons. Won't that be a beautiful thing in life for him? You should know that Old Madam Xu is very unhappy that you only gave birth to one Xu Chun. She seems to like Xu Hang more," Qiao Mei said.

In this era, most of the older folks had the mentality of favoring boys over girls. Qiao Mei had already met too many such people. This was also the reason why Old Madam Xu was currently staying at Xu Ba's house. She wanted to stay by Xu Hang's side. Xu Hang was the only heir of the Xu family. In the future, there was a high chance that the Xu family's small inheritance would be given to Xu Hang.

"How... how do you know so much?" Liu Xiao said fearfully.

"I know more than that. It's best if you can live in harmony with my mother and also work with me. Only then can you gain a foothold in the Xu family. I can also do business with Xu Tian so that you can secure your position as his wife," Qiao Mei said.

Liu Xiao laughed and looked at Qiao Mei in disbelief. "You're actually going to this extent for your mother!"

"Yes, because that's my mother. Everything else is insignificant. I just want her to be happy," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
