Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

On the way, Qiao Mei asked Xia Zhe curiously, “Do you think the Cao family members will really move away by the scheduled time? I don’t think their eldest daughter-in-law is an easy person to get along with.”

“They will. Although the Cao family isn’t really well-known, everyone involved in the deal is a reputable person. How can they take our ginseng for nothing?” Xia Fang said.

Xia Zhe nodded and added, “Don’t worry. Even if they refuse to move, we still have Old Mr. Sun as our witness. Old Mr. Sun’s words carry a lot of weight in this area and everyone will believe what he says.”

“Mei Mei, don’t be afraid. Even if that really happens, you can ask your father-in-law to settle it for you,” Xia Fang said.

Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei with a smile. Qiao Mei smiled back and felt much more at ease. However, she still had the nagging feeling that the Cao family was not trustworthy, and she was worried that something would go wrong in the future.

After they went around to meet and greet the people who lived in their vicinity, the three of them returned to the old house.

“It’s getting late. Tidy up and go to bed.” After saying that, Xia Fang went into the other bedroom.

Qiao Mei sat on the bed and looked through the contract carefully. She kept feeling that something was missing.

Xia Zhe brought over some water for her to wash her feet. Seeing Qiao Mei deep in thought, he flicked her head gently.

Qiao Mei immediately covered her forehead and pouted in an aggrieved manner.

“What are you doing? It hurts!” Qiao Mei’s eyes started to water.

Tears welled up in her eyes, scaring Xia Zhe so much that he did not know what to do.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I just saw that you were staring into space and lost in your thoughts, so I just wanted to scare you,” Xia Zhe said.

When Qiao Mei saw Xia Zhe’s embarrassed expression, she suddenly laughed out loud.

Only then did Xia Zhe know that Qiao Mei was teasing him. He could only smile resignedly.

“Alright, stop fooling around. Hurry up and wash your feet and go to bed. You’ve walked all day today,” Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei thought about what happened during the day as she soaked her feet. All the neighbors knew that the house had been taken back by the Xia family. Even if the Cao family went back on their word in the end, she had both evidence and witnesses. There was nothing for her to be worried about.

“What are you thinking about this time?” Xia Zhe sat at the side and looked at Qiao Mei.

“Me? I’m thinking about all your romantic debts!” Qiao Mei said deliberately.

“What romantic debts do I have?” Xia Zhe asked, feeling puzzled.

“Let me do a count. Ever since I came to the capital, three or four women have come to find me and each of them said that she is Xia Zhe’s fiancée,” Qiao Mei said.

What romantic debts? What women? How could there be three or four?

Xia Zhe was confused by what he heard.

“I’ve never had a fiancée. If we want to go into details, then you’ve always been my fiancée. Back then, our marriage was already arranged by our grandfathers,” Xia Zhe said seriously.

Qiao Mei blushed slightly and looked at Xia Zhe, feeling a little embarrassed.

“So there’s this person called Qian’e who lives in the same compound as Aunt. There’s another one whose surname is He. I can’t quite remember the other girls already,” Qiao Mei said as she tried to recall the details.

He thought he had some impression of this person called Qian’e. After all, they had lived in the same compound. As for that person whose surname was He, he was not sure who she was.

“Qian’e grew up in the same compound as me, but we didn’t interact much. I heard that she’s already married. As for the person with the surname He, I’m not too sure who she is. I don’t seem to remember knowing anyone with the surname He,” Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei looked into Xia Zhe’s eyes. He did not look away and looked straight back into her eyes. It seemed that he was not lying, and that the truth was that those women were deeply in love with him but he felt indifferent about them.

“Sigh, how pitiful then,” Qiao Mei lamented.

“Pitiful? Pitiful about what?” Xia Zhe asked, not understanding her.

“Those women pursued you so wholeheartedly, but in the end, you don’t even know who they are. Aren’t they pitiful?” Qiao Mei said.

Xia Zhe wanted to laugh even though he was upset. He smiled helplessly and said, “Young girl, I don’t know if you can see how weird this is. You say they’re pitiful when I say I don’t know them, but you will definitely get angry if I say I know them. I’m a loser on either end, so don’t you think that I’m the most pitiful?”

Qiao Mei thought about what Xia Zhe said and felt that it made sense. Actually, she was not angry. She also knew that Xia Zhe did not do anything.

However, she just felt uncomfortable. She kept feeling that someone was trying to snatch away what belonged to her.
