“Congratulations, congratulations! You’re celebrating three joyous occasions at one go! Stacking good things on top of one another!”

“When do you intend to have a plump little baby! Then your family will be able to celebrate four joyous occasions!”

“Xia You is so beautiful. The Lu family’s ancestors have definitely accumulated good karma!”

As everyone came in, they congratulated the couple. Xia You and Lu Huai had blissful smiles on their faces. As expected, Xia Guang brought Zhou Hua to Xia You’s wedding banquet.

Xia You’s expression dampened slightly, but in front of outsiders, she still invited Zhou Hua to sit down among the female guests.

The guests at the wedding banquet were separated and seated by gender. The men usually drank and talked shop while the women chatted and gossiped about family matters. If all the guests were seated together, they would not be able to enjoy themselves to the fullest. By separating the men and the women, all the guests would be able to have a good time. This was actually Qiao Mei’s idea.

Zhou Hua was not shy at all and took a seat at the main table. Xu Lan and Liu Fen did not look too happy. However, today was Xia You’s big day and it would not look good if the Xia family members kicked up a fuss, so they just endured it.

“Long time no see!” Zhou Hua said smugly.

“Yes, it’s indeed been a long time,” the other women at the same table replied politely. Xu Lan and Liu Fen acted as if they did not see Zhou Hua and lowered their heads to chat with each other.

Since Zhou Hua dared to turn up today, she was already prepared for the treatment from the Xia family members. She did not care at all. So long as she spread the word that she was living with Xia Guang again, her return to the Xia family would be just around the corner!

As the saying went, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Even if the Xia family had split up, Xia Guang still had his job in the army and could definitely support her! Even if anything should happen to Xia Guang in the future, surely the Xia family would not leave her in the lurch.

“It’s been a long time since we last met. You’re looking quite good. How do you take care of yourself?” Mrs. Liu asked Zhou Hua.

“I don’t really take care of my looks. I just don’t do anything or worry about anything. I guess a good mood will lead to a healthy body,” Zhou Hua said with a laugh.

“Oh really? Did your family hire a helper again?” Mrs. Liu asked.

“No. Xia Guang cares about me a lot so he does everything himself and doesn’t need me to do anything,” Zhou Hua said shyly.

Xu Lan and Liu Fen sat at the side and felt disgusted. They wondered how she dared to say such things! As usual, Xia He could not stand Zhou Hua and immediately said, “Is that so? Auntie Zhou’s hands look rougher than before though! Perhaps you’ve been in contact with too much cold water during the winter.”

“You don’t have to worry about me. You’re the one who has suffered such a devastating ordeal. Are you feeling better now?” Zhou Hua said with glee.

Suffered an ordeal? What ordeal?

The news about the matter between Xia He and the Song family had spread like wildfire some time ago. Although Xia He was fully dressed at the time of the incident, Song Dan was only wearing underwear when he was subdued. It was hard to say what the truth was!

After all, Zhou Hua was Xia Guang’s ex-wife and could be considered a member of the Xia family. If she said that Xia He had suffered an ordeal, then that matter must be true! Could it be that something had really happened between Xia He and Song Dan?

“Don’t talk nonsense! There’s nothing wrong with me!” Xia He said agitatedly.

“Nothing happened to my daughter. Are you drunk?” Xu Lan said furiously.

“I haven’t even started drinking yet!” Zhou Hua said.

All of a sudden, everyone started looking at Xia He differently as they whispered among themselves. Xia He ran back towards the room and bumped into Qiao Mei, who was walking out of the bedroom.

“What’s going on?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia He in confusion.

Xia He recounted what happened to Qiao Mei and Qiao Mei immediately became very angry. However, there was a wedding banquet going on and she could not go head-on with Zhou Hua. If she wanted to deal with Zhou Hua, she would need to do something unorthodox.

Qiao Mei patted Xia He’s shoulder and said, “Leave this to me. Don’t cry, I’ll take care of it.”

“Yes please! I’m really too ashamed to face anyone now!” Xia He said aggrievedly.

Qiao Mei put a small pill into the liquor. This pill was her latest invention and she had not tested it yet! Today, she would let Zhou Hua have a taste of her new medicine!

“The guests on the other side have already started eating! Let’s drink! Let’s eat!” Liu Fen went around filling everyone’s glasses, but when it was Zhou Hua’s turn, the liquor bottle was already empty.

“Come, let me pour for Auntie Zhou!” Qiao Mei walked up with a smile.
