After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2382  Imperial Green Jade Bangle

Xu Li took off the imperial green jade bangle that she was wearing. Qiao Mei could tell that this bangle was the type that could even be kept as a family heirloom!

"This item is really too valuable! I can't accept it!" Qiao Mei exclaimed.

"Take it!" Xu Li looked around at everyone and said, "All you youngsters don't feel too jealous. I've prepared gifts for everyone and I've already made arrangements for the gifts to be sent to your respective homes."

"Thank you, Aunt~" Xia He said happily.

Qiao Mei raised her arm to try to remove the bangle, but for some reason, the bangle seemed to be stuck and she could not move it no matter how hard she tried.

She could even feel that the bangle was absorbing her energy, but not in a malicious way. Instead, it seemed like some kind of… purification process? Or did it already see her as its owner? She could not understand the situation for now.

"I really can't accept it. It's a loss for you to give me such a valuable bangle. It definitely looks better on you!" Qiao Mei said.

"I have more! Just take it. If you continue to reject me, I won't meet with you again!" Xu Li said in a serious manner.

Qiao Mei stroked the bangle and said with a smile, "In that case, thank you, Aunt."

In fact, Qiao Mei did not want to return the bangle at all. She was just putting on an act because she did not want Xu Li or any outsiders to think that she was a greedy person.

This bangle was of really good quality and color. It was something that even the auction houses would be willing to take in!

When Sun Yuan witnessed this scene from inside the kitchen, she turned to the director and whispered, "Is the Xia family so rich? They can even give away such a nice bangle so casually."

"Sigh… The most authoritative person in the Xia family is the woman sitting in the middle. Her name is Qiao Mei and she's the top scorer of the first college entrance examination! No one here can match up to her and I hear that she even studied overseas. This woman owns businesses both domestically and overseas and she even saved the life of the head of the Xia family! Everyone in the Xia family dotes on her like she's a precious treasure. Never step on her toes!" the director warned.

"Shh! Good grief! Keep your voice down! Is the Xia family an entity that we can discuss so casually?" the director said fearfully.

"The soundproofing in this house is done up very well and they can't hear us. You're my biological uncle! Do you have to hide such information from me?" Sun Yuan asked aggrievedly.

"Sigh… The most authoritative person in the Xia family is the woman sitting in the middle. Her name is Qiao Mei and she's the top scorer of the first college entrance examination! No one here can match up to her and I hear that she even studied overseas. This woman owns businesses both domestically and overseas and she even saved the life of the head of the Xia family! Everyone in the Xia family dotes on her like she's a precious treasure. Never step on her toes!" the director warned.

"You make her sound so capable. She has done so well only because she latches onto the Xia family and makes use of their influence. If I'm in her position… I can do it too…" Sun Yuan said indignantly.

"Shut up! Are you sick of living! Just go and cook!" The director lowered his voice and roared at her.

Qiao Mei had very good hearing, so she could hear what Sun Yuan said inside the kitchen. Qiao Mei already knew Sun Yuan was an ambitious person the moment she saw Sun Yuan.

Qiao Mei did not hate ambitious people. She just hated people who thought too highly of themselves.

The meal was ready soon and everyone sat down to eat together. Sun Yuan's culinary skills could only be said to be average and there was nothing outstanding about the food. The Xia family was used to eating delicacies since Qiao Mei was a very good cook, so they all felt that the meal today was especially unpalatable.

"I apologize, but there's only so much I can do…" Sun Yuan said softly.

"It's fine. The food is very nice," Qiao Mei said with a smile.

After the meal, everyone gathered together to chitchat. Qiao Mei and Xia He went to the backyard and Sun Yuan followed them quietly.

"So you're here, elder sisters. I finally managed to find you!" Sun Yuan said warmly.

"You need something from us?" Xia He asked.

"No, nothing. I just feel that both of you have very nice personalities and I really want to get to know you better," Sun Yuan said confidently.

Xia He looked at Sun Yuan in shock. Her first impression of Sun Yuan was that of a little rabbit. Why was Sun Yuan so aggressive now? Now… Sun Yuan reminded her of Wang Tian.

"I know what you want and I can give it to you," Qiao Mei said suddenly as she looked at Sun Yuan.

Both Sun Yuan and Xia He were shocked to hear this. Sun Yuan covered her face and chuckled as she said, "Elder sister, you must be joking! I just want to get to know you better, I'm not trying to get anything from you."

"There's no one else here, so you don't have to beat around the bush with me. You must want to marry into the Xia family. Any member of the Xia family will do, right?" Qiao Mei asked.

"Yes… How do you know though?" Sun Yuan looked at Qiao Mei with a cold expression. She did not expect Qiao Mei to ask her so directly.

"The Zhou family is being very ungrateful. I don't think Elder Brother and my younger cousin can accept such behavior from the Zhou family. I can give you a chance to hang around my younger cousin, but whether he falls for you or not will depend on how capable you are," Qiao Mei said.

"But… but doesn't your Xia family advocate true love? Why are you scheming against your younger cousin like this?" Sun Yuan asked in disbelief.
