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.
