1181 Perpetrate a Deception

He Ning did not speak. This was the first time he had ended up in a pa.s.sive position despite being the aggressor. Firstly, he still owed Qiao Mei money. Secondly, he needed Qiao Mei’s ginseng in order to stay alive. Qiao Mei had a firm hold of his weak spot. Even if he had something on her, it would not be the ideal situation for him to go against her.

“Don’t tell me you want me to spend this 500,000 dollars for nothing,” He Ning said through gritted teeth.

“Of course not. Haven’t you just used this 500,000 dollars to buy something that’s better than ginseng? Actually, you’re the one who has profited!” Qiao Mei said as she pretended to feel a sense of heartache.

After a long time, He Ning finally calmed down and said, “200,000 dollars and ‘divine medicine’. Nothing less than that.”

“This is not a negotiation. Just a small gla.s.s of ‘divine medicine’ should be enough to settle this matter. Otherwise, I’ll pay you 800,000 dollars right away. Or let’s put it this way. After I deduct 800,000 dollars from the money you owe me, you still have to give me another 200,000 dollars! Think about it,” Qiao Mei said.

He Ning frowned, but he got over it after a while. If Qiao Mei was not such an aggressive person, he would not be so obsessed and interested in her. It was just 500,000 dollars. He would just take it that he had to spend money to buy the “divine medicine”.

In the future, if he ever faced a situation of being on the verge of death like Xia Mao, this “divine medicine” would be the thing that could bring him back to life. It was worth spending the money.

“Fine. I’ll take it that I’m doing you a favor,” He Ning said.

“I’ll get someone to send it to you in a few days. I don’t have time now. As you can see, I can’t even move,” Qiao Mei said as she spread out her hands.

“Then I wish you a speedy recovery. I’m off,” He Ning said sulkily and left Qiao Mei’s ward without looking back.

The Xia family members were a little worried. The current situation was like nurturing a tiger and inviting calamity for themselves. In the past, He Ning only wanted ginseng. There was a big difference between ginseng and “divine medicine”. Perhaps He Ning would regain the health of an ordinary person after eating ginseng for a long time, but he would need to continuously eat ginseng to achieve that. Once he stopped eating it, his body would run out of nourishment and he would eventually die.

However, it would be different if he had the “divine medicine”. It would mean that He Ning had a chance to be resurrected! If he was on the verge of death, he could be revived and his health would even be much better after that.

“Why aren’t any of you saying anything?” Qiao Mei asked.

Xu Lan asked Feng Hua to bring the two children out first. Since they had something to discuss, it was not appropriate for the children to be present. In the event they spoke too loudly, they might scare the children.

“Qiao Mei, this is too risky,” Xia Wen said seriously.

“I think it’s alright. Why is it a risk?” Qiao Mei said.

“We all know the effect of that medicine. Aren’t we just burying a mine for ourselves by doing this? It’s so destructive!” Xia Wen said with a frown.

However, Qiao Mei did not take this matter that seriously. She blinked her beautiful eyes and said, “Does anyone know what that medicine looks like? Has anyone seen that medicine and can describe its characteristics? How does he know whether what I give him is real or fake?”

All the Xia family members were suddenly enlightened. Qiao Mei was going to perpetrate a deception, like the old tale where “a civet cat was used to change out the crown prince”! Even if she gave He Ning a bottle of water, he would treat it like a treasure and would not notice anything amiss. Qiao Mei was really in a league of her own!

“No wonder you agreed to give him the medicine! So that’s how it is!” The other members of the Xia family felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted off their shoulders. Only Xia Zhe remained silent with a dark expression on his face.

As night fell, everyone went home after reminding Qiao Mei to take care. Xia Zhe stayed in the hospital to take care of Qiao Mei so that Feng Hua could finally take a good rest for a few days.

Initially, Feng Hua still wanted to guard Qiao Mei with her life! She even wanted to sleep next to Qiao Mei’s bed. Xia He quickly instructed her not to deprive the couple of their private time for the next few days. It was not easy for them to have some time to spend together, so they should not waste it!

“Are… are you still angry?” Qiao Mei asked tentatively.

“No,” Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei was not a fool. Ever since He Ning came by in the afternoon, Xia Zhe had been in this mood. Could it be that she had gone overboard? Or had she ignored Xia Zhe’s feelings at that time?

However, no matter the sort of unreasonable things she had done in the past, Xia Zhe would always smile and forgive her. What was the reason for his behavior this time?
