Chapter 1877: Go Abroad Together

Xia Wen came to the study to look for Qiao Mei after work. He took out her passport from his bag and said, “It’s ready. Keep it well. The school will make the arrangements for your travels soon.”

“Thank you, Eldest Brother,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Are… are you doing this because of Xia Zhe?” Xia Wen asked tentatively.

After a long silence, Qiao Mei said, “I do have this idea in my head…”

“I know you’re worried about Xia Zhe’s safety, but his mission this time is a very dangerous one, Moreover, how are you going to find him in the vast sea of people?” Xia Wen asked.

“I just want to try my luck,” Qiao Mei said.

“When you’re there, don’t ask anyone about Xia Zhe. Don’t mention Xia Zhe to anyone and don’t deliberately ask around. Even if you’re lucky enough to meet him, you have to pretend not to know him. Otherwise… otherwise, his life will be in danger. For the sake of his safety, I hope you can promise me that,” Xia Wen said sternly.

“I understand, Eldest Brother. I’ll remember what you said,” Qiao Mei said.

“Yes, let me know if anything happens. You have to be careful since you’ll be on your own out there. The Xia family doesn’t have much of an influence overseas. If anything happens, you have to call me as soon as possible. If there are any issues that you can’t solve, just come back. Do you understand?” Xia Wen instructed.

“Eldest Brother, can you help me apply for passports for the three children? I want to bring them with me,” Qiao Mei said.

“What did you say?” Xia Wen’s eyes widened. He thought that he had heard wrongly.

Qiao Mei said again, “l want to bring the three children overseas with me.”

Xia Wen could not make a decision on this matter. He felt that they had to discuss it with the rest of the family. After dinner, everyone sat in the living room for a discussion.

After hearing what Xia Wen said, Xu Lan immediately said, “No! It’s going to be too tiring for you to take care of three children alone. Besides, you still have to go to school. How can you have time to keep an eye on the children all the time?”

Although she felt that Qiao Mei’s request was very unreasonable, she still felt very comforted. At least Qiao Mei did not abandon these three children and was not that heartless.

“Once I get there, I’ll find a helper to take care of the children,” Qiao Mei said.

This time, it was Li Gui who objected. She said worriedly, “I don’t think we can trust those people there. We don’t even know their backgrounds. What if they do something bad to the children?”

It would be unrealistic to bring Feng Hua and Xu Kang overseas with her. They still had their own families to take care of. How could they give up their homes in the country just to earn money?

Qiao Mei was also in a dilemma for a moment. However, she would not give in when it came to this issue. She must keep the children by her side. If anything happened to the children back home and she could not rush to them or sense their presence, she would definitely go crazy.

“Furthermore, your safety is already a huge problem. We don’t have any friends or trusted aides over there, so you can only rely on yourself. I heard that it’s not too safe over there, but I can only arrange for two bodyguards to accompany you at most,” Xia Wen said.

“Um… I want to say something!” Xia He raised her hand and continued, “I can go with Qiao Mei!’

“You? If you go, then what about Deng Fan?” Xu Lan questioned.

“Deng Fan is hard at work every day nowadays. Qiao Mei has bought so many houses, then there’s also the factory and the work from his other clients. He doesn’t have time to accompany me at all. Moreover, the two of us have already discussed it. We won’t have children for the next few years as we want to focus on our careers. I want to go overseas to take a look. Besides, Qiao Mei will only be an exchange student for two years and it’s not really a long time,” Xia He said earnestly.

Xia Wen stared at Xia He and asked, “Are you serious? Do you need to discuss it with Deng Fan?”

“Of course I’m serious! Deng Fan and I have already agreed on this,” Xia He said.

“Then I can get you a passport and send you overseas. I’ll definitely feel more at ease if you can be there with Qiao Mei and the children,” Xia Wen said.

“All of you… you’re just messing around!” Xu Lan said angrily.

“Mother! I’m still young! I want to go out and take a look! Besides, Qiao Mei and I can then take care of the children together. Once we get there, we’ll hire a helper. It’ll be safe since I’m there to keep an eye on them every day. Don’t you believe in my capability?” Xia He deliberately showed Xu Lan her biceps..
