After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2448: Plan for a Honeymoon

“I don’t want it. You should go,” He Ning said firmly.

“Alright. In that case, then…” Qiao Mei looked at He Ning’s withered body and was unable to say anything harsh in the end. She said regretfully, “Goodbye.”

“Goodbye,” He Ning said with all his strength.

Qiao Mei put away the medicinal wine and left with the other ladies. Huo Gao stood silently beside He Ning and tears rolled down his cheeks. He knew how upset He Ning must be feeling at the moment. After so many years, he had long treated He Ning like a younger brother.

“Huo Gao… If I had given up on taking revenge back then, would she and I have another kind of ending…” He Ning said as he looked at Qiao Mei’s departing figure.

“You would never give up,” Huo Gao said with a sigh.

He Ning looked at the clouds in the sky and laughed self-deprecatingly as he said, “That’s right… I won’t give up on taking revenge, but I only realized today that my entire life has been filled with hatred and I don’t have anything that belongs to me. I don’t even have any happy memories. What a life… I might as well have been born into an ordinary family.”

“Don’t say that…” Huo Gao said, his voice choking with emotions.

“Take me to see the flowers I planted… I haven’t taken care of them for a long time…” He Ning said as he looked at Huo Gao.

Three days later, the He family sent a note to say that He Ning had passed away.

Qiao Mei looked at the letter sent by the He family and felt a little emotional. The circle of life was quite a depressing thing. Even when one’s enemy had died, it only made one feel down and did not add to one’s joy.

“Say… why do you think people hold so many grudges in their lives?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia He.

“Actually, our Xia family has never hated the He family. It’s the He family who can’t let it go. Our Xia family has always been the sort to settle the score on the spot and we never sit on it and wait to do it later. Furthermore, the cycles of vengeance are endless. The grudges of a generation should end within the generation. We should not burden the future generations,” Xia He said earnestly.

“That’s right. It’s precisely because the He family lives within the walls of hatred that they have fallen apart in He Ning’s generation,” Qiao Mei lamented.

“This won’t happen to our Xia family,” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei nodded and said, “Not to the Xia family.”

After He Ning died, Qiao Mei felt much more relaxed. With the main troublemaker now gone, the Xia family’s problems would be reduced by more than half.

A harmonious family and a happy life was what she wanted the most and her greatest wish.

The children were all grown up by now and the school’s enrolment rate was not too bad. Xia Fan and the other children were outstanding students with top grades. There were even education experts who came by to take a look at them. Some of the experts even wanted to take in Xia Fan and the other children as their final disciples and nurtured them to inherit the mantle of these experts.

Qiao Mei rejected all of them. Her wish was for the children to have a proper childhood and she did not want them to feel too much pressure. Even if they ultimately did not achieve anything in their lives, she had enough money to ensure that the children would never have to worry about their livelihoods for the rest of their lives.

At night, Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe sat in the courtyard and looked at the night sky. Qiao Mei pointed at the stars and said, “That’s the Big Dipper, that’s Sagittarius, and that’s Scorpio!”

“You even know such things!” Xia Zhe said in surprise.

Qiao Mei chuckled and snuggled into Xia Zhe’s arms, saying, “I’m just teasing you. I only know the Big Dipper.”

“Cheeky thing,” Xia Zhe said dotingly as he hugged Qiao Mei tightly.

“The children are all grown up now. Can we start our travels? You still owe me a honeymoon trip!” Qiao Mei said.

“We can go anywhere you want!” Xia Zhe said.

“Really? Will the military approve your leave?” Qiao Mei asked worriedly.

“I have many years of leave saved up! Besides, I don’t need to go on missions now. I’m just an idler who can do whatever I want,” Xia Zhe said.

“Then we must travel all over the country! We must do all the fun things!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.

Xia Zhe held Qiao Mei’s hand and said seriously, “Then you have to promise me one thing.”

“What is it?” Qiao Mei asked as she looked at Xia Zhe curiously.

“You’re not allowed to start any new business. We’re going out to spend money this time round, not to earn money,” Xia Zhe said sternly.

“How… how do you know that I still want to expand my business empire…” Qiao Mei said sheepishly.

She really wanted to take a honeymoon trip with Xia Zhe, but on the trip, she also wanted to take a look at possible investment opportunities in each city. It was best if her money could grow everywhere!

“You always start doing business halfway through a trip. In the end, your business will get bigger and bigger and the trip will end prematurely,” Xia Zhe said.

“Alright then, I promise you. We’ll only go sightseeing this time and not talk about any business!” Qiao Mei said.
