After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

785 Unaccountably Solicitous

Tan Jing looked very calm on the surface and did not look like she was telling a lie. She said calmly, “It’s Xiao Mo from the workplace. She asked me to accompany her to buy clothes when I’m free. She’s going on a blind date.”

Xia Wen did not suspect anything and returned to the bedroom to continue reading. Tan Jing’s expression was solemn. She would never let Xia Wen know about this. Xia Wen was her husband, so why should he run around on Qiao Mei’s behalf? He had already spent too much time and energy repairing the courtyard house some time ago.

Now that he finally had the time to accompany her, Qiao Mei still wanted to take away this little bit of time. She definitely would not allow this to happen.

The only person in the capital that Qiao Mei had not contacted was He Ning. He still owed her 1.28 million dollars! He Ning definitely would not be able to take out so much money within a short period of time.

However, since He Ning had promised her, he would definitely do it. The IOU was still in her hands. In this era, anyone who had 10,000 dollars was already a rich person. She wondered how much money He Ning had to be able to agree to such an unreasonable request from her.

Qiao Mei made a call to the He family and asked happily, “He Ning, have you prepared the 1.28 million dollars?”

He Ning was stunned for a moment before saying, “You’re coming back to the capital? Do you need me to pick you up?”

After saying that, He Ning also wondered if he really said that out loud. He was surprised about his concern for Qiao Mei. He had never cared about anyone else before. Even Huo Gao, who had been by his side for so long, rarely received any words of concern from He Ning.

Qiao Mei did not find it strange. She held the key to He Ning’s lifespan in her hands at the moment. If He Ning wanted to live a few more years, he would have to rely on her ginseng, so it was only right for him to please her.

“There’s naturally people coming from the Xia family to pick me up. It’s best if you don’t show your face in front of the Xia family. Otherwise, if my father and eldest brother want to beat you up, I won’t be able to stop them,” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.

Thinking of Xia Wen’s fake and insincere smiling face, He Ning felt uncomfortable. It was better if they did not see one another.

“1.28 million is a big amount. I haven’t managed to prepare that much money yet,” He Ning said honestly.

Currently, he could only fork out at most 800,000 dollars in cash. The rest of the money had been given to He Wei to do business. The Xia family had caused them to have to turn over all their valuable things to the authorities and there was nothing left for them to sell.

Even if he sold the house, he could not get so much money in such a short period of time. The maximum he could get was 800,000 dollars.

“Then give me 300,000 dollars first. You can give me the rest at your convenience, but you have to pay interest in the meantime. Let’s make it 200 dollars a month. I’m not a loan shark. The interest of 200 dollars a month for more than 900,000 dollars is a bargain for you,” Qiao Mei said.

She had to do this as it would be strange if she did not charge him interest. However, she had already cheated He Ning of a lot of money. If she asked for more interest, even if He Ning could afford it, she would not be able to live with her conscience.

It was better to know when to stop. An interest of 200 dollars was not bad.

“Alright, then I guess I must thank you. But why do you need so much money? If there’s anything you want, just tell me. I can make things happen,” He Ning said confidently.

Qiao Mei laughed and said, “My Xia family is also a prominent family and we can also get whatever we want. I won’t need to trouble you. You just need to prepare the money quickly and send it to me. There’s no need for any specific denomination for this amount of 300,000 dollars. Just send the money over.”

“Alright, I’ll contact you when you get to the capital,” He Ning said.

After hanging up, He Ning still had a smile on his face. He did not even realize that he was smiling.

“What are you so happy about? You’re smiling so widely.” Huo Gao looked at He Ning’s expression in disdain.

He Ning was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled even more happily. It was naturally a great thing that he could go to Qiao Mei’s house to freeload again. He did not have to eat the tasteless medicinal cuisine made by the helper anymore. This was such good news for him.

He could even hang two strings of firecrackers at the door to celebrate.

“It’s nothing. Is this the new prescription? Why does it smell so bad,” He Ning said with a frown.

Huo Gao had no choice. After their trip, they had sent people to secretly pick a few ginsengs from the mountain where Qiao Mei’s village was located. Those ginsengs were not very good, but he did not want to waste them and could only use other medicines to complement them.
