“Pfft!” Qian’e spat fiercely onto the ground and continued, “As if you are worthy!’

Ding Xiang tugged at the corner of Zhao Fei’s shirt. She gritted her teeth and whispered to him, “You’re my husband! Don’t you know how to speak up for me? Are you mute!”

Zhao Fei did not know what to say to Qian’e. This was the person who took pity on them and gave them this job. Now that they had caused such a mess, he was really too ashamed to come and see Qiao Mei. He would not dare to get into a conflict with Qian’e at this moment.

Qiao Mei walked into the room slowly. As she came in, she said, “Oh, are you having an argument? Did I come at the wrong time?”

From the moment she entered the room, she started to size up Ding Xiangs clothes. The first time she met Ding Xiang, the woman looked gentle and refined. Although she was wearing cheap clothes that were patched all over, it was still apparent that she had a gentle temperament. Now, Ding Xiangs clothes were made from expensive fabric and exquisitely tailored. Even the jewelry she wore was very expensive.

On the other hand, Qian’e was dressed in a low-key manner and looked very casual and relaxed. She did not even wear much jewelry. If outsiders saw these two women, they would definitely think that Ding Xiang was the rich factory director. It seemed that a lot had indeed happened in the past two years.

“No, no! We are not arguing! I was just joking with Sister Qian’e,” Ding Xiang quickly explained.

Qiao Mei sat in the auxiliary seat next to Qian’e. She smiled at Qian’e and said, “It’s been so long since we last met. Why don’t you look surprised to see me at all? Don’t tell me you haven’t missed me at all over the past two years?”

“l miss you so much that I can’t even sleep well! But I miss the children even more. The children aren’t here today? I have wanted to take a good look at Xia Yue!” Qian’e said, showing a rare smile.

“The children are all with my mother-in-law. I’ll bring them back here soon.

If you want to see them, I’ll give you a call when they are back,” Qiao Mei said.

Before the two of them could catch up properly, Ding Xiang suddenly came over to Qiao Mei and took out the red packets she had already prepared while saying, “What a shame. I’m not aware that the children are not around today, but this is a token from me to the three children. I hope you will accept it.”

Qian’e looked at the three bulging red packets and was a little shocked. She did not expect the usually stingy Ding Xiang to be willing to give Qiao Mei’s children such substantial red packets. The sun must have risen from the west today! What a rare sight!

Qiao Mei did not reject Ding Xiangs red packets. She put them aside and took out a bigger and thicker red packet from her pocket and handed it to Ding Xiang, saying, “It’s only after I come back that I hear that you and Zhao Fei already have a child. I didn’t manage to congratulate you in time since I was overseas. This is my makeup gift to you and I hope you don’t mind.”

Ding Xiang stole a glance at Qian’e. When she gave birth to her first child, she had wondered how much red packet money Qiao Niei would give her during the baby’s one-month-old celebration. She felt that Qian’e would definitely inform Qiao Mei about such big news, but even after the baby turned one year old, they did not receive any news or calls from Qiao Mei.

Ding Xiang had urged Zhao Fei to give Qiao Mei a call, but Zhao Fei would always reject her with all kinds of reasons. After all, it was very expensive to make a long-distance phone call and there was also a need to make an appointment two hours in advance. There were so many things to do in the factory and he did not have time to look for Qiao Mei at all. He also did not want to contact Qiao Mei and get her involved in those troublesome matters in the factory.

“It’s fine! It’s good enough that you have kept my child in your thoughts! How long will you be staying in the capital this time round? If you are going to be back for an extended period of time, you’ll be around when I give birth to this baby!” Ding Xiang said as she touched her round belly.

If Ding Xiang had not mentioned it, Qiao Mei would not have been able to tell that Ding Xiang was pregnant. She had thought that Ding Xiang had only put on weight. It seemed that Zhao Fei was doing quite well if he had the mood to plan for a second child.

“Then I’m looking forward to that day. Why did I hear that there has been trouble at the factory? Have you run into any difficulty on your end?” Qiao Mei probed.

Ding Xiang immediately said, “We’re not having any difficulties! We’re fine!”

“What a load of crap! Do you dare to tell Qiao Mei everything you’ve done! How dare you lie to Qiao Mei! I think you’re really not interested in this business anymore!” Qian’e shouted angrily..
