After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 1393 The Host Paying the Bill

"This family is just too shameless! They're too much! What does Xia Xing's wedding have to do with us! Why must we host this event!" Xia He said furiously.

"I have no choice. She came all the way here to look for me. For the sake of our family's reputation, I have no choice but to agree. You also know how much Grandfather and the others dote on me. If I ask them to attend, they will definitely find a way to come to the banquet. I need your help with this matter," Qiao Mei said helplessly.

Within the family, Qiao Mei's words carry a lot more weight than Xia He's. Although Xia He was Xia Jun's favorite granddaughter, Qiao Mei was exceptionally precious to the entire Xia family. Both the Qiao family's grandfather and granddaughter were the Xia family's saviors. Even if Qiao Mei said that she wanted Xia Jun's life today, Xia Jun would give it up without batting an eyelid.

At this point in time, Qiao Mei was the most loved person in the Xia family, at least among the families of the eldest and second sons.

Xia He took her little phone book and went to the convenience store outside to make the phone calls. Of course, she did not just inform them of the event. She even told all of them the story of how Shao Yin bullied Qiao Mei, embellished with her own details, and also about how Shao Yin made the two babies cry.

Xia Jun was very upset. He directly rejected the invitation to Shao Yin's engagement banquet the day after tomorrow. On one hand, he did not like these people from the Shao family. On the other hand, he had to attend a very important meeting and could not be absent. This meeting could not have been scheduled at a more opportune time.

However, Xia Mao was not so lucky. During this period of time, other than a few phone calls with the military committee and being in charge of some minor arrangements, he did not have any other meetings, so he had to attend the banquet.

As for the second son's family, only Liu Fen would be attending the banquet. She was a full-time housewife, so what kind of urgent matters would she have? She had no choice but to come with Xu Lan to face the Shao family. Even Xia Fang would be attending this banquet. Ever since the two babies were born, she had not come around to visit much. She had been very busy at the hospital and did not have much free time. This time round, she could finally make some time to come and take a look.

Xia Mao asked Xia Wen to go to the guest house early in the morning the next day to send the invite to the Shao family members. Sending Xia Wen there was a show of respect to the Shao family. He was the future head of the Xia family and also the eldest grandson. This was something that he needed to do, being in this position.

The next morning, Shao Zhuang and Bian Duo could not take their eyes off Xia Wen when they saw him. He was thousands of times better-looking than how Shao Yin had described him. One look at his distinguished demeanor and they could tell that he was an exceptionally capable man. This made them even more determined to bring Shao Yin and Xia Wen together.

"You must be Uncle and Auntie Shao. I'm Xia Xing's eldest cousin. My name is Xia Wen. I'm here today to specially invite you to our house to be our guests. I hope you'll do us the honor." Xia Wen spoke formally, making Bian Duo so mesmerized that she almost did not want to let go of Xia Wen's hand!

"Of course! Of course! We'll definitely be there!" Shao Zhuang said immediately.

"We'll arrange for a car to pick you up then." Xia Wen left after giving them the details, leaving Shao Yin's parents standing on the spot, still reminiscing about what had just happened.

Bian Duo nudged Shao Zhuang and said, "Do you see that? This is what a young master should look like. Xia Xing is really nothing!"

"He seems good enough for our Shao Yin, but maybe a little too old. Our Shao Yin is only in her early 20s. Since he says he's older than Xia Xing, then he must already be in his 30s," Shao Zhuang said with a frown.

"So what if he's in his 30s? I was only 18 years old when I married you! You were already 28 years old then!" Bian Duo said.

"It's fine! Ask Shao Yin to quickly think of a way to marry Xia Wen. Don't just count on Xia Xing!" Shao Zhuang quickly changed the topic, otherwise he would be the one to suffer later.

Xia Xing's workplace unit had given their staff two days off. Xia Xing was at home when Shao Yin told him the news and he thought that he was just dreaming at first.

"You're saying that Eldest Uncle's family wants to treat us to a meal? And it's at Third Cousin-in-law's house?" Xia Xing asked in disbelief.

In the past, Zhou Luo was not even allowed to go to Qiao Mei's place to take a look. Xia Jun and the eldest son's family treated Qiao Mei like a treasure. In the beginning, Xia Xing did not like Qiao Mei and also did not know how much she had done for the Xia family. He only heard that Qiao Mei was a village woman who had done something to trick Xia Zhe and then married into the Xia family.
