After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

2347  Case Closed

As Huo Gao raged next to He Ning, no one in the room dared to even breathe audibly. He Ning sat on the sofa in a daze, as if he did not hear a single word of what Huo Gao said.

Suddenly, He Ning muttered to himself, "I made a mistake… I made a really huge mistake…"

"What… what did you say?" Huo Gao said as he looked at He Ning in confusion.

"I shouldn't have made things difficult for the Xia family back then. I shouldn't have played tricks on that little girl and I shouldn't have gone against the Xia family members. It's my fault. Otherwise, my relationship with her will still have some room for improvement and we won't have fallen out so badly," He Ning said with a sigh.

Qiao Mei was not a calculative person. In the past, she was even willing to give her ginseng to strangers. It all changed only after she found out that he was the one who had gone against the Xia family.

"No! This is not true! It's definitely not my fault! It's Xia Zhe! Xia Zhe must have said some nonsense to Qiao Mei that made her misunderstand me so much!" He Ning smacked the table as he shouted.

Huo Gao held his forehead and collapsed weakly on the sofa. He must have really sinned in his past life! This was why he had to meet He Ning in this life!

He Ning called Jia Zhong over and asked, "Is there any news of Xia Zhe recently?"

"We only know that Xia Zhe's identity overseas is proclaimed to be dead. After that, there is no more news. We don't know if he will continue to stay overseas or return home," Jia Zhong said tentatively, afraid that he would anger He Ning.

"In that case, Xia Zhe will be returning home soon. Once he's back, there's going to be trouble," He Ning said.

The days passed and two weeks went by quickly.

Qiao Mei sat in the courtyard and stared into space. Ever since she found out that Xia Zhe was on the way home, she had been looking forward to it every day. She had never felt that time could pass so slowly.

Xia Xing's issue had also come to an end. Xia He specially brought the newspaper with her to talk to Qiao Mei about it.

"Take a look! I don't even know what Elder Brother is thinking!" Xia He said in annoyance as she held up the newspaper.

Shao Le had pleaded guilty for all the charges. Although the fine had been paid, only one person could be released. In the end, Shao Le received the punishment she deserved and the Xia family's reputation was left intact. The media made big news out of the fact that this matter had nothing to do with the Xia family.

"What about the money? Don't tell me that Elder Brother is going to just pretend that he lost the money?" Qiao Mei asked.

"No, not to that extent. Elder Brother is not that silly. He's going to consider it a loan to Xia Xing. The fact is that Elder Brother can just give the money to Xia Xing, but he says that this is too serious a mistake and that he must make Xia Xing pay him back the money so that Xia Xing will learn a lesson," Xia He said.

Xia He did not hear all these from Xia Wen personally. Xia Wen had been so busy recently that none of them had seen him. It was not just them, even Mo Zhu had not seen Xia Wen for a while! Xia He had only found out about this after she and Xu Lan went to ask around for a long time.

Xia Xing was not cut out to go into business. If he remained a salaried employee all his life, he would not be able to repay the six million dollars in his lifetime. Elder Brother definitely would not be able to get this money back.

Xia He looked nervous and it was as if she did not dare to look Qiao Mei in the eye. Qiao Mei stared at Xia He curiously and asked, "Are… are you hiding something from me?"

"I'm not…" Xia He whispered as she avoided Qiao Mei's gaze.

"Hurry up and explain yourself, otherwise I won't let you leave this house!" Qiao Mei threatened. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

"So be it! You have such delicious food at your house and I'm more than happy to stay for a few more days!" Xia He said stubbornly.

Qiao Mei snorted and said, "You really think I'll still give you food. Tell me now, otherwise I'll lock you up in my house and feed you steamed buns while I eat delicacies in front of you."

"This is too much!" Xia He roared. After thinking about it, she said, "Alright, alright, it's fine to tell you. It's just that Elder Brother didn't have enough money, so I gave him 1.3 million."

Seeing that Qiao Mei did not say anything, Xia He continued, "Elder Brother just doesn't want you to worry! Don't read too much into it. He actually wants to protect you. There's already so many issues between you and the third branch family. Elder Brother doesn't want you to have to worry about this. Since we are able to fork out the money, we don't think there's a need to tell you about it."

To Xia He and Xia Wen, Xia Xing was a relative, but to Qiao Mei, he was like an enemy! No one would be happy to spend money on an enemy for no reason.

"Both Elder Brother and I are not happy about the situation. If we already feel that way, then surely it's worse for you," Xia He said resignedly.

"I know. You don't have to be so nervous either. I'm not a petty person. Even if you came and told me then, I won't lend you the money. Don't worry," Qiao Mei said lightly.

Qiao Mei felt much better after knowing what Xia He and the others had tried to hide from her. This matter could be considered case closed and she could now relax.
