423 Defend to the Death

When Qiao Mei saw that Xia Mao was embarrassed, she smiled and said sweetly to him, "I'm the one who begged Xia Zhe to bring me here as I had trouble sleeping. Father, don't be angry. I just want to come and take a look!"

When Xia Mao heard that Qiao Mei had trouble sleeping, he quickly asked, "Are you not feeling well? Do you want your aunt to come and take a look? When did you start having trouble sleeping?"

Facing a string of rapid questions, Qiao Mei did not know which one to answer first. Xia Mao turned to look at Xia Zhe and said, "Why aren't you concerned about Qiao Mei's health! How long has she been in this state! Is this how you treat her! I'll call your aunt and ask her to come and take a look."

After saying that, he wanted to go to the newspaper stand at the side to call Xia Fang. During this era, there were no mobile phones. Everyone relied on the phone booth or the landline at home to make phone calls.
