1349 Misidentify Someone
“Oh my~ What responsibility? Do I want me to be responsible for you as well? Does any random stranger on this street have to be responsible for you?” Qiao Mei’s voice sounded from within the crowd.

The people standing around did not know who Qiao Mei was, but they all knew Xia He, who was with Qiao Mei. They had all met her at Deng Fan’s birthday dinner. The crowd made way and opened up a path for them.

Ye Lei stared blankly at the beautiful woman in front of her. Was this Xia He? However, this person looked very different from her mother’s description. Did she not say that Xia He was just an ordinary-looking middle-aged woman?

Oh heck. Since this woman was willing to step forward and argue with her, then she must be Xia He!

“Sister Xia He! Please be magnanimous and let Brother Deng Fan and I off! Brother Deng Fan and I are childhood sweethearts and we are already engaged to be married. Please fulfill our wish! If I can’t marry Deng Fan, then… then I don’t want to live anymore!” Ye Lei said tearfully.

Xia He stood behind Qiao Mei and wanted to step forward to argue with this woman. Qiao Mei quickly reached out to stop her and also indicated that Deng Fan should not say anything.

Since this woman had misidentified her, Qiao Mei decided to play along. She had nothing much to do during this period of time and it was good to get a chance to relieve her boredom.

“You want me to fulfill your wish? I’m not your mother, nor am I Deng Fan’s mother. How am I supposed to fulfill your wish?” Qiao Mei asked.

“As long as… as long as you leave Brother Deng Fan, I believe Brother Deng Fan will definitely come back to me!” Ye Lei said in a dainty manner.

“You just said that you are in love with each other, but it has become your one-sided crush in the blink of an eye? Are you telling lies?” Qiao Mei looked at Ye Lei teasingly.

Ye Lei had thought that Xia He was just a reckless woman who only knew how to fight. She did not expect her to be so eloquent. It really made her want to relook at her understanding of the phrase “reckless woman”.

“Of course not!” Ye Lei said.

“No? If it’s not like this, then what is it? In this era, do we still have to choose our partners based on what our parents and the matchmakers say? Even so, Deng Fan’s mother likes me very much and all the neighbors here also know it for a fact. Do I have to give him up just because some woman appears out of the blue and says that she and Deng Fan are engaged?” Qiao Mei questioned.

“But! Auntie Deng approved of me first! Brother Deng Fan and I are a match made for each other!” Ye Lei still wanted to continue quibbling.

“You don’t have to tell me so much. I’m not Xia He. You can’t even identify the right person, yet you still say that you and Deng Fan are in love? If you’re really in love, how can you not know who your rival is? Do you only have an imaginary enemy in your mind? You only know the person’s name, but you don’t know what the person looks like,” Qiao Mei said slowly as she stared at Ye Lei.

Everything Qiao Mei said was true and the people around her could not help but sigh. They did not expect that after so many years, Ye Xiang had brought up a child who behaved exactly like her when she was young.
Back then, she had gotten the Yin family’s brothers in trouble and now she had instigated her daughter to harm the Deng family’s son. How shameless of her!

“You! You’re not Xia He! You tricked me!” Ye Lei shouted as she looked at Qiao Mei angrily.

“Yes, I’m not Xia He. You targeted me the moment you spoke. Did I have a chance to refute you?” Qiao Mei said aggrievedly, as if she was the victim.

Before Ye Lei could speak, Xia He looked at Deng Fan and said earnestly, “Deng Fan, go in and take a look at your parents first.”

Deng Fan was a little worried about leaving them with these two crazy women from the Ye family. After all, he had seen what these two could do. If Xia He’s face was injured, her dancing career might just come to an end today. If anything should happen to Qiao Mei, his life would also come to an end when Xia Zhe returned.

“The two of you should come in with me,” Deng Fan said with a frown.

“It’s fine. I still have something to ask the two of them. We’ll go in later,” Xia He said in a gentle manner.

Qiao Mei’s hair stood on end when she heard Xia He’s gentle tone of voice. The calmer Xia He became, the more furious she was.

Xia He was different from other people. Usually, when a person became angry, the person would either keep quiet or fly into a rage. However, when Xia He was really angry, she would act as if nothing had happened and continued to smile and talk to you.
