After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

"Hello, my name is Qiao Mei and I'm Xia Zhe's wife. There's no need to bring any first-meeting gift. Since we're relatives, we'll address you as Elder Cousin in the future," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

"Speaking of that, she can't be considered your relative. She's a relative of our Xu family. It's better for you to call her by her name or you can call her Rui Rui," Xu Ju said as she stared at Qiao Mei.

Relatives could not get married or they would get drowned by the neighbors' gossip! It looked like Xu Ju was determined to let Shi Rui marry into the Xia family.

Xu Ju kept praising Shi Rui for being smart and capable, having a good family background, being so beautiful and so on. She went on and on for more than an hour, making everyone feel sleepy.

Shi Rui hurriedly grabbed Xu Ju and said, "It's getting late. I still have things to do at home, so I'll have to make a move first."

"Take care. We won't send you off," Xia He said in annoyance.

Just like that, Xu Ju was forcefully dragged away by Shi Rui without even finishing what she wanted to say!

"Why did you pull me out! I'm not done yet!" Xu Ju looked at Shi Rui unhappily.

"Elder Sister, you're really too anxious. You have to maintain a sense of mystery! You can't tell them everything about me. Won't that make them lose interest?" Shi Rui said.

"You're right, but the Xia family is already getting ready for an engagement event. If I don't hurry up, there will be someone else ahead of us! Xia Wen is so outstanding and there are so many women who want to marry him! Why aren't you even anxious at all?" Xu Ju said anxiously.

"The Xia family won't be able to organize the engagement event so quickly. They are considered a prominent family. How can an occasion like an engagement be so rushed? It will definitely have to be held in a grand manner. It will take a lot of time to get so many things done. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing." Shi Rui held Xu Ju's arm on their way home.

Xu Ju sighed and said, "You always say that you know what you're doing. Xia Wen is such a good catch. If he marries someone else, you can go and cry your heart out!"

Shi Rui smiled and did not say anything. She liked Xia Wen a lot. Back then, when Xu Lan held the one-month-old banquet for Xia He, both Xu Ju and her were in attendance. At that time, she was still very young and Xu Ju did not take good care of her. She was left alone in the corner, not knowing where to go.

At this moment, Xia Wen saw her and brought her a lot of delicious food. He even led her all the way to the main table and asked her to eat together with the Xia family.

From that moment, Shi Rui fell deeply in love with Xia Wen, but she never had the chance to see him again after that.

Later on, when she heard from Xu Ju that Xia Wen had joined the army, she was so anxious that she wished she could also join the army immediately. However, her health was not very good and she did not pass the military physical examination.

After that, when she found out that Xia Wen had retired from the army and became a university professor, she followed closely in his footsteps and became a teacher as well. However, she was only able to be an elementary school teacher. When she found out that Xia Wen had gotten married, she was very sad. She had always felt that Tan Jing was not worthy of a man as good as Xia Wen. The woman by Xia Wen's side should be an outstanding woman, at least better than her.

From then on, she focused on her career and did not want to think about love at all. She eventually became seen as a spinster who was left on the shelf. Shi Rui's father was already quite old when she was born and she was her parents' only child, so they let her do whatever she wanted.

When Xu Ju told her about Xia Wen's divorce, she wished she could set off firecrackers at home to celebrate. The heavens had granted her a chance!

She must become the woman by Xia Wen's side. Only she was worthy of Xia Wen.

It was only after Xu Ju and Shi Rui left that Qiao Mei dared to make a call to Xia Wen and ask him to return home quickly to discuss countermeasures. Given the current situation, they must quickly get the engagement settled. Otherwise, it was too unsettling.

"Eldest Brother's romance luck has been too good after his divorce. Mother, you should find a master to reduce his luck with women," Xia He said.

"Pfft, pfft, pfft! What nonsense are you talking about! If your eldest brother loses his luck with women, then the Mo family's daughter won't like him anymore!" Xu Lan said angrily.

Xia He quickly covered her mouth and said, "Oh! I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was spouting nonsense just now!"

Xia Wen rushed home in a hurry. The moment he entered the house, he could feel everyone's low spirits. Something unpleasant must have happened today.
