Chapter 2254: The Tragic Death of Father and Son
Ella stayed in the warehouse to accompany Jessica while Xia Zhe and Paul went out for some fresh air. This was the first time Xia Zhe had seen Jessica behaving like this. When he heard Qiao Mei talk about what Jessica had gone through, he still had some doubts. After all, she was still Alan's biological daughter. No matter how bad he treated her, it could not be that bad. He did not expect...
"Aren't you going to stop Jessica? If this continues, Daniel will die," Paul asked as he lit a cigarette.
"I know that Jessica won't let Daniel live. Or Alan. Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on following me here," Xia Zhe said with a smile.
Paul could not help but shudder and said fearfully, "I hate dealing with people with deep thoughts like you. It's as if everything in my head can be seen."
"Hahahaha, this is the first time I've heard someone say that about me," Xia Zhe said happily.
"Huh? Have you heard someone else being praised like this?" Paul asked curiously.
Xia Zhe's eyes were filled with love as he said, "Yes, she does this even better than me."
He really wanted to return to the capital as early as possible and see Qiao Mei and the children as soon as possible...
Xia Zhe's men brought Alan to the warehouse as promised. The outcome was predictable. Xia Zhe stood outside the door without doing anything. Two hours later, Jessica and Ella walked out of the warehouse covered in blood.
"Let's go. Paul will stay behind to clean up the place. This is what you want," Jessica said to Xia Zhe as she held up a folder.
Xia Zhe did not take it. He looked at Jessica and said, "Give it to me together with the rest of the things in the future. I'll arrange for someone to send you back. We'll talk about it after the situation has calmed down."
"Alright," Jessica said.
The two of them went back to their own homes. After winning the battle, everyone needed a good rest. Xia Zhe also needed to write a report and submit it to his superiors.
Xia Zhe was not the only one who had to go through a tough fight. There was also trouble on Qiao Mei's end and it was even more troublesome than what Xia Zhe had to go through.
As planned, Qiao Mei brought the children with her and boarded the plane to go home. When they reached the airport, Xia Wan made a last minute decision. She said she also wanted to return to the country to visit her parents. However, the truth was that she was worried about Qiao Mei returning to the country in her current state of mind.
On the plane, Qiao Mei kept looking out of the window without saying a word. Xia Wan said worriedly, "Mei Mei, are you alright? Don't be sad because of my younger cousin. When I next see him, I'll definitely give him a good scolding! Eldest Uncle and Eldest Aunt will also teach him a lesson!"
"Elder Cousin, I'm fine. I'm just a little tired from all the traveling recently," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
"Really? You must tell me if there's anything on your mind!" Xia Wan said nervously.
Qiao Mei pretended to look troubled and said, "There's really something that's troubling me."
"Tell me about it! Maybe I have a solution for it!" Xia Wan said.

"When are you going to get married to my uncle?" Qiao Mei asked with a cheeky smile.
Xia Wan blushed immediately. She did not expect Qiao Mei to ask her this question so directly. Actually, she was feeling a little lost and did not know what to do.
"I... I actually don't dare to marry Gao Long. I'm afraid that my kid will feel conflicted," Xia Wan said.
"How can that be! I think Xia Mo likes my uncle very much. She doesn't seem to dislike him," Qiao Mei said in surprise.
Xia Mo's original name was Chen Mo. After the divorce, Xia Wan did not want her child to continue living in Chen Huang's shadow, so she changed her child's surname.
"It's different. Now, Gao Long is just an uncle who dotes on her. If he becomes her father, she definitely won't be able to accept it," Xia Wan said.
"Have you asked Xia Mo for her opinion?" Qiao Mei asked.
Xia Wan was stunned for a moment. She shook her head and said, "I dare not."
"Xia Mo is not that young anymore. She has her own life and so do you. If you give up your own happiness for Xia Mo, I think she will definitely be sad," Qiao Mei said.
"I... I'm still a little afraid..." Xia Wan said.
"Don't worry. You can find some time to talk to her. I believe Xia Mo will support you," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
Xia Wan sighed and said, "I thought I'm supposed to comfort you? Why are you the one comforting me now! Seriously, I'm really incompetent even though I'm older than you."
"Seeing you happy will make me happy too," Qiao Mei said sincerely.
"It's really a blessing for our ancestors that my younger brother married you. It must be our good fortune accumulated over 800 years," Xia Wan said gratefully.
Qiao Mei felt a little guilty and did not reply. If Xia Wan knew about how she had tricked Xia
Zhe into marrying her back then, she would probably say that their ancestral grave must have exploded and that they were extremely unlucky!
