After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!



"Then I'll come back tomorrow. I would like to ask about your daily schedule. I can come in the afternoon so that I don't affect your rest time," Shen Gui said politely.

"You can come whenever you want. There's no need to look for me. You can go and look for Sister Feng directly. She knows exactly where you need to go and what you need to do. Just come over for half a day tomorrow and finish cleaning up this place. Sister Feng will give you your salary every day. With effect from the day after tomorrow, I'd need to trouble you to come every day. There are a few other places where I need cleaning up," Qiao Mei said.

Shen Gui noted everything down. The untrimmed asparagus fern was still on his mind. He must trim it and make it look beautiful tomorrow.

Not long after Shen Gui left, there was suddenly the sound of sirens outside the door. Qiao Mei initially thought that the vehicles were passing by their house, but she did not expect the sound to get closer and closer until it stopped at their door.

The person who came in turned out to be an old acquaintance. Zou Ming stepped into Qiao Mei's house with a troubled expression. Qiao Mei and Xia He went to the courtyard in a state of confusion. They wondered what was going on and why he had brought so many people with him.

Qiao Mei asked, "Officer Zou, why are you here? Come in and have a cup of tea."

"There's no need. I'm here on official business. Xia He, you have to come with us," Zou Ming said sternly.

Qiao Mei quickly blocked Xia He and said nervously, "What crime has my elder sister committed and why does she need to go back with you to be investigated? You have to make this clear to us. You can't arrest someone for no reason, and that's not your way of doing things too."

"A man surnamed Bian came to our police station to file a report that you hurt his wife and didn't apologize. His wife is a dancer and because of you, she won't be able to perform on stage anymore. He wants to hold you accountable, so I'm here to bring you back to assist with the investigation," Zou Ming explained.

By right, Zou Ming should not have provided such details to Qiao Mei, but they all knew one another and Zou Ming was also Xia Wen's good friend. He thought that it did not matter if he told them a bit more. Initially, he had tried to help Xia He, but this matter had blown up because Bian Zhuo refused to back down. Therefore, he had no choice but to come and take Xia He away.

"What nonsense! That was self defense! Besides, she sprained her ankle herself!" Xia He said agitatedly.

Qiao Mei patted Xia He's shoulder to calm her down. There was nothing else they could do at the moment. The police cars were already at their house and Xia He had indeed fought with Yang Xin. If she wanted to save Xia He, she would have to find a witness.

"Elder Sister, you should cooperate with Officer Zou. After all, these officers have to do their jobs. Don't worry, I'll help you." Qiao Mei looked at Xia He earnestly.

Even if Xia He had not done anything, she must still cooperate with Zou Ming and go with them to the police station to give her statement. It would not do her any good to resist their order.

Xia He was sure that Qiao Mei would be able to help her, but she did not want Qiao Mei to get involved in this matter. It was now very close to Qiao Mei's due date, which was likely to be within the next two days. Qiao Mei should not tire herself out at this point.

"Sister Feng! Call my eldest brother!" Xia He yelled out towards Feng Hua who was in the kitchen.

Feng Hua hurriedly went to give Xia Wen a call. At the same time, Xia He got into Zou Ming's police car and they all left the alley. Qiao Mei asked Wei Hao to call Xu Lan and ask her to find Deng Fan's home address from the military art troupe's database. Qiao Mei then asked Wei Hao to make a trip to Deng Fan's house and ask him to come over to her house.

It was already late at night and it was inappropriate to ask a bachelor to come over to the house alone, but Qiao Mei had no choice if she wanted to save Xia He. At this moment, Deng Fan was the only person who could help Xia He.

The moment Deng Fan received the news, he rushed over on his motorcycle without another word. When he took off his helmet, his hair was totally drenched in sweat, an indication of how anxious he was.

"Xia He! Where's Xia He?" Deng Fan asked as he stood anxiously at the door of the main hall.

He was a person who had a sense of propriety. No matter how urgent the matter was, he felt he could not step into Qiao Mei's house. It was also important to protect Qiao Mei's reputation.

"Xia He has been brought to the police station for questioning. My eldest brother will be here soon. Sister Feng is in the house so you can come in," Qiao Mei said.

Deng Fan put his helmet aside and sat at the seat furthest away from Qiao Mei without saying a word.
