Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After they finished speaking, everyone came out of the study and Zhou Hua left in Xia Xiu’s car.

The rest of them also left one after another. When Xia Zhe returned to the room, he saw Qiao Mei leaning against the wall, looking curious and trying to eavesdrop.

“What are you doing?” Xia Zhe looked at Qiao Mei in puzzlement.

“Eh? Are you done?” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe in surprise.

Xia Zhe smiled dotingly.?This young girl must be trying to eavesdrop.

“What exactly is going on? Hurry up and tell me,” Qiao Mei grabbed Xia Zhe anxiously and whispered.

Although there were no outsiders around, this was the first time Qiao Mei had experienced such a matter. She felt inexplicably stressed and did not even dare to breathe or speak loudly.

“It’s nothing much. He Ning got someone to pretend to bump into Third Aunt-in-law by chance and then lied to Third Aunt-in-law that she can use ginseng to exchange for her family members’ career prospects,” Xia Zhe said.

“Just that simple?” Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe in surprise.

Qiao Mei thought that He Ning had discovered some dirt on Zhou Hua and used that to make her help the He family. She did not expect things to be so simple.

“Yes, that’s it. He Ning can be quite direct sometimes, but his intention this time is to check if you have any more ginseng,” Xia Zhe explained.

Qiao Mei nodded in realization. She seemed to have discovered a new way to make money. The method was a little wicked, but it was still much less evil than what He Ning had done.

Since He Ning wanted a large amount of ginseng, she could give it to him. She would just drain the energy from the ginseng so that there could be no benefit to his health at all, and he would be paying for something useless. This way, she would be able to exact revenge on He Ning for trying to break up her family and also earn some money at the same time.

“Third Aunt-in-law is too gullible and she agreed so readily. If she had known earlier that He Ning was able to help her, she would probably have gone to look for him long ago,” Qiao Mei said.

He did not expect Qiao Mei to be able to tell Zhou Hua’s character after only meeting her a few times. Although Zhou Hua would not harm the Xia family’s interests, it would take very little for her to take the bait once someone dangled some benefits in front of her.

“My Mei Mei is indeed smart. You’re so right!” Xia Zhe praised Qiao Mei. After saying that, he reached out and poked her face.

“Ahem, there are still other people in the room. Watch your behavior!” Xia He suddenly said from one side of the room.

If she still did not say anything, she did not know what else Xia Zhe could do.

“Although I’m not right under your noses, I’m still in the room. This room is only so big. Do you really not see me?” Xia He asked in confusion.

Xia Zhe had actually seen Xia He, but he was only focused on his Mei Mei and did not pay attention to Xia He at all. He just ignored her and pretended that she did not exist…

Qiao Mei was so excited to hear the gossip that she forgot Xia He was also in the room. Besides, he had only poked her face and had not even kissed or hugged her yet. This was nothing!

“Where is Third Aunt-in-law now?” Qiao Mei asked.

“We sent her back. Third Uncle has been informed about this and he wants to have a good talk with her at home,” Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei did not know what kind of person the third uncle, Xia Guang, was. She did not know if Zhou Hua would be beaten or punished when she returned home. After all, such things happened often in their village.

“How is Third Uncle as a person…” Qiao Mei asked worriedly.

“Third Uncle is a very nice person. He will be returning to the capital soon and grandfather wants to have a good chat with him. Third Aunt-in-law has done many things that grandfather would consider to have already crossed the line,” Xia Zhe said in a deep voice.

Qiao Mei nodded and did not ask further. These were all matters concerning the Xia family and it was not convenient for her to ask too much. At the moment, she only had the right to know but no power to make any decision, so she just needed to listen and not ask for too much details.

Suddenly, they heard Liu Fen shouting downstairs.

“Heavens! Kong Lu, what’s wrong with you! Come in quickly! Hurry, hurry, hurry!” Liu Fen shouted.

Only then did the people in the room remember that Kong Lu had been left in a boat in the middle of the lake. Xia He frowned and walked out of the room, followed closely by Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe.

Initially, Xia He felt quite anxious and worried that Kong Lu might be injured. However, after thinking about their current relationship, she decided that there was no need to worry about Kong Lu and she could not be so indecisive anymore.
