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.
"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.
"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.
