After everyone had entered the private room, Molly went out and closed the door thoughtfully. Molly was now the restaurant manager. When Li Gui was not around, Molly was in charge. She was a very discerning person and always did things appropriately.
Before Qiao Mei could speak, Li Dong said ingratiatingly, “Who were those people just now? Why do they look so unhappy? When I was at the door just now, I heard a commotion in the room. Are they troublemakers!”
By now, they were all well aware about what Qiao Mei was capable of and also knew that Li Gui had a different status now. If they did whatever Qiao Mei asked them to do, they might get some benefits out of it.
“Your ears are quite sharp. Yes, they argued with us and even bullied my mother and me,” Qiao Mei said.
“Who dares to bully my younger sister and my niece! I’ll go and skin them alive now! Do they think our family is useless!” After saying that, Li Dong rolled up his sleeves and wanted to rush out to look for the Xu family.
Qiao Mei quickly waved her hand to ask him to sit down. She knew very well that Li Dong was just putting on a show for her. He did not have the guts to go and settle scores with the Xu family. However, even though it was just an act, Qiao Mei felt much better. The Li family were still not so stupid and still knew to side with their own family members.
“Have you seen him before?” Qiao Mei asked.
“We’ve seen him a few times. I guess you can say we know each other. We often see him with my younger sister,” Li Dong said truthfully.
They did not have an endless stream of money. Li Gui had only paid for their stay at the guest house for a few days and they did not have much money left. If this continued, they would not have any more money for food after a few days. Every time they came to the restaurant to talk to Li Gui, Xu Ba was always around. Li Gui had warned them not to tell Xu Ba anything about the Li family, so they did not manage to talk to her at all.
“Since all of you know about him, then I’ll go straight to the point.” Qiao Mei looked at Li Dong and Old Madam Li and said, “Grandmother and Eldest Uncle, the Xu family came to take a look at my mother just now. In the end, they were so shameless as to splash boiling water on me and even hit my mother!”
For the sake of the upcoming drama, Qiao Mei could only bite the bullet and address them properly. Old Madam Li and Li Dong were overjoyed to hear Qiao Mei addressing them that way. Qiao Mei had never used those forms of address before.
“What! They are really too much!” Old Madam Li said angrily.
When Li Dong saw that Qiao Mei did not look angry but seemed to want them to stand up for her, he asked, “What’s that man’s background? Where does he live? I’ll go and settle the score with them now!”
Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction and said unhurriedly, “Xu Ba has a special status but he has an older brother named Xu Tian. Just now, it was Xu Tian’s wife who hit the two of us. He’s the director of a small factory and it’s located near your guest house. You can go there and ask around about the Xu family’s food factory.”
After all, she still had some business dealings with Xu Tian’s factory. If she immediately stopped collaborating with Xu Tian, it would not be good for her factory’s reputation when word got out. She must separate work issues from her personal life.
“No problem! I’ll definitely ask them for an explanation!” Li Dong said firmly.
Seeing that Qiao Mei was in a good mood, Old Madam Li asked tentatively, “Um Mei Mei, we don’t have much money left. About our stay at the guest house ”
“I’ll get someone to extend your stay for another five days,” Qiao Mei said readily.
Li Dong and Old Madam Li understood that Qiao Mei was giving them an ultimatum! If the Xu family handled this matter well, they could continue to stay in the capital. Otherwise, they should immediately pack up and go home!
Qiao Mei told Li Dong about Xu Tian’s exact address and the details of the incident. Then, the Li family members left the restaurant while accompanied by Molly. Qiao Mei stood by the window and looked at their departing figures with an expectant smile.
The show was about to begin. Since they had seen the Xu family members’ true colors, then the Xu family members should also get to know the Li family members.
After the Xu family members reached home, none of them spoke. Everyone sat in the living room in silence. After a long time, Xu Tian sighed and said, “I didn’t expect that things will end up like this today ”
“I didn’t expect that either,” Xu Ba said sulkily.
Liu Xiao suddenly stood up and pointed at Xu Ba as she said, “You still have the cheek to say that! Didn’t you see how badly they beat me up! They even spread rumors about my daughter! How can you even say that these people are nice people!”
Before Xu Ba could retort, Xu Tian slapped Liu Xiao so hard that she fell to the floor. Liu Xiao covered her face and did not dare to speak.
