Chapter 1747 Going to Stay at Home
Seeing that Qiao Mei was determined to go ahead, Xia Jun signed the documents, then handed one copy to Xu Ju and one copy to Qiao Mei. After he was done, he looked at Xu Ju and said, "It's done. You can leave now."
Xu Ju walked to the door and turned around to see Qiao Mei still sitting obediently beside Xia Jun and drinking tea. She immediately said, "Let's go!"
"I'm staying here to accompany Grandfather. You and Xu Jiao can go back by yourselves," Qiao Mei said.
"How are we going back if you don't send us?" Xu Ju asked angrily.
"There's public transport outside! Do you need me to teach you how to use it?" Xia Jun said sternly.
Xu Ju did not want to have any direct conflict with Xia Jun. She still needed to rely on Xia Jun with regard to the Xu family's matters in the future. She could not provoke this "living ancestor" of the Xia family. You'll discover the inception of this content at n0v@lbin★
After Xu Ju left, Xia Jun looked at Qiao Mei and asked gently, "How is life in the military family compound recently? Is there anything you're not used to? I hear that Xia Zhe has gone on a mission. Don't go back there for the time being. It'll be good if you can stay here with me."
The helper went to pack Xia Jun's luggage. She had to follow him to Qiao Mei's house. It just so happened that Qiao Mei also needed a helper to take care of the backyard part of the courtyard house and Li Gui's house, so this would save Qiao Mei the trouble of finding one.
"I still don't know Auntie's name?" Qiao Mei looked at the nanny and asked her.
"My name is Peanut. I'm an orphan and everyone calls me that. I'm used to it," Peanut said with a smile.
Peanut was from a small village and lived a happy, simple and blissful life when she was young. However, there was a flash flood which destroyed the entire village. By the time Xia Jun and his troops arrived to help, it was already too late. They only managed to save a few children and adults who were lucky enough to escape. Peanut was sent to the orphanage and she grew up there.
After she grew up, she kept thinking about how to repay Xia Jun for saving her life. It was only when the Xia family looked for a new helper for Xia Jun that Peanut had a chance to repay Xia Jun.
"Alright, then I'll call you Auntie Peanut," Qiao Mei said.
After packing their things, Xia Jun and Auntie Peanut sat in the backseat of Qiao Mei's car. This was the first time Xia Jun sat in Qiao Mei's car and he could not help but feel a little nervous.
"Mei Mei, drive slowly. I have the tendency to get carsick," Xia Jun said. Auntie Peanut smiled but did not say anything.
Xia Jun had driven a tank, a train and even a fighter jet in his life! How could he get carsick in a car? This was just to trick Qiao Mei into driving slower. He was worried that Qiao Mei's driving skills were not good enough and that she might get into an accident. It was definitely safer to drive slowly.
