Zhao Fei walked up to Qiao Mei with an apologetic look. He did not really know how to raise the issue with Qiao Mei. It was something too embarrassing and people might even say that he was shameless for trying! In the end, he mustered his courage and said, “Qiao Mei  do you think you can let Ding Xiang off? I can do anything you want!”

Qiao Mei stared at Zhao Fei for a long while and sighed. She had known Zhao Fei for a long time and had witnessed how he gradually changed from a high-spirited young man to his current dispirited self.

“You still want to save her despite how she treats you?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Sigh  We’re a married couple and I have to stick with her for better or for worse. No matter what she has done, she’s still the mother of my two children. She doesn’t illtreat my children in any way and I don’t want my children to be without their mother,” Zhao Fei said.

Qiao Mei could understand how Zhao Fei felt, but there was no way that she could just forgive and forget. Her mother had been harmed by the actions taken by the Ding Xiang and the Zhao family members. She could not just forgive them out of pity for him.

“What I can do is not to make things difficult for her and let her live a normal life in prison, but if you want me not to pursue the matter at all, then that’s something I can’t do,” Qiao Mei said frankly.

“This is good enough. Thank you,” Zhao Fei said.

Qiao Mei looked at Zhao Fei and asked, “What are your plans for the future?”

“I’m working as a security officer in a small neighborhood and my schedule allows me to take care of the children. Ding Xiang’s father is also helping me out. Things will eventually get better,” Zhao Fei said.

No matter what, Zhao Fei had previously saved Li Gui’s life after all. Qiao Mei also knew that he was not involved in these matters and she could forgive him. He was an orphan and no longer had the support of his parents. It was still quite tough for a man to take care of two babies. She could give Zhao Fei a job with a decent salary.

“Why don’t you go to the south? I need someone to help me keep an eye on security at a construction site there,” Qiao Mei said.

“There’s no need. The children are used to living in the capital. I can’t always trouble you. Thank you for your kindness.” Zhao Fei rejected Qiao Mei’s offer, put down the package and left. Qiao Mei could tell that the package contained money. This was the only way Zhao Fei could think of to make it up to Qiao Mei.

Xu Ba looked at Qiao Mei and said, “I didn’t expect you to know how to be compassionate.”

“I’m a human. I’m not void of emotions!” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.

Under the onslaught of Xu Ba’s tireless efforts, Li Gui accepted him into her life again. The two of them returned to their old routine. Every afternoon, Xu Ba would bring Li Gui out to various places to have fun and take walks.

Qiao Mei had to focus on her own things. She had heard that the Du family’s relatives were preparing to sell the old residence in order to pay off the family’s debt. She had not had time to dig up the treasures at the Du family’s old residence yet. If she did not do it now, it would be too late once the Du family’s relatives started to divide up the family’s remaining assets.

That old house was in a very dilapidated state and Qiao Mei did not want to buy the land since she had no use for it. She only wanted the treasures buried underground. It seemed that the Du family’s relatives also knew that there was good stuff underneath the old house, so she had to get those things out before these people did.

Qiao Mei took her tools and drove to the Du family’s old residence when it was dark to dig out all the treasures. She then placed stones into the boxes and locked them back up. She wondered how the Du family’s relatives would react when they found out what was inside the boxes after putting in the effort to move all the boxes home!

After a long and tedious process, Qiao Mei returned home with a full load of treasures. She hummed a tune as she parked the car at the entrance of the house. Just as she was about to go into the house, she bumped into Xia Wen, who had been waiting for her for a long time.

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen guiltily and said, “Um  Eldest Brother, why are you here? Have you had your dinner?”

“It’s already midnight. Dinner? Do you mean supper? Where did you go so late at night?” Xia Wen looked at the parked car behind Qiao Mei. The tires were covered in mud and the trunk was filled with treasures. Even a fool would know what Qiao Mei had been up to.

“I  I went for a joyride! I went to admire the moon tonight!” Qiao Mei looked up at the sky and then realized that there was no sign of the moon at all. She could not think of any other excuse and could only say frankly, “I went to the Du family’s house to look for treasures  Eldest Brother, can you just give me a light punishment?”

“It’s cold out here. Come in first,” Xia Wen said sternly. He was actually worried about Qiao Mei going to the Du family’s house to dig for treasures on such a cold day, but he still went ahead and scolded her for always doing things without discussing it with her family first.
