Chapter 2195: Ask for Ginseng

“I’m fine, but if Eldest Brother hadn’t protected me, I might really have been injured,” Qiao Mei said.

“I should have gone with both of you today! The next time I see them, I must teach them a lesson! We can’t let this matter go just like that!” Xia He said angrily.

Qiao Mei held Xia He’s hand and said, “Eldest Brother told them that we don’t want to see them again. Let’s leave this matter at that for now. Third Uncle’s wedding is more important.”

Xu Lan and Xia He still felt very frustrated. The two of them complained for a long time and only felt better after criticizing the Zhou family harshly. Xia Bai and w.a.n.g Kun happened to overhear their conversation.

“No wonder I only see Third Uncle and not his children! It turns out that there’s so much dirty business going on in Elder Granduncle’s family. His grandsons are even in jail!” Xia Bai said mockingly.

“I thought that Elder Granduncle is very strict with his family and that such things will never happen. It seems that they have been putting on an act all this while. Their true colors will eventually be revealed,” w.a.n.g Kun said.

“Let’s wait a little longer and find a chance to teach Qiao Mei a lesson! Since she will not invest in us!” Xia Bai said.

“We can’t let your second sister’s family know about this. Her family are all fools! They may tell others about our plans!” w.a.n.g Kun said.

“Why should we tell her family about how to get rich! Are you muddle-headed!” Xia Bai said disdainfully.

The day after the reunion festival, Bian Ke and Meng Yuan were invited to Qiao Mei’s villa. Meng Yuan did not spend the reunion festival with the Xia family. He had returned to his hometown to pay respects to his ancestors. Meng Yuan had decided to move his parents’ graves to the capital so that he could visit them anytime.

Meng Yuan brought many gifts with him to Qiao Mei’s villa. Qiao Mei took a look at the items and noted that most of them were specialties from Meng Yuan’s hometown. Bian Ke did not contribute to the gifts at all. She felt sorry for her silly younger brother to be dating such a person.

“Bian Ke, come and take a seat. I haven’t seen you for a few days and you seem to have become even prettier!” Xu Lan said happily.

Bian Ke did not like Qiao Mei’s siheyuan courtyard house. She thought that only the Xia family would treat such an old house like a treasure! The He family’s house was so much more beautiful. She was going to be the lady of that house one day!

However, this villa had changed her impression of Qiao Mei. He Ning probably would not be able to afford such a big house even if he sold off his company.

“Auntie, you flatter me. It’s just that I’ve been sleeping better recently,” Bian Ke said politely.

Qiao Mei put down some fruits on the coffee table. The moment she sat down, Bian Ke looked at her and asked, “Third Sister-in-law, you must still have some 100-year-old ginsengs, right?”

Everyone was stunned to hear her say that. Then again, Xia Zheng and the others also knew about this and it was not really a secret. Qiao Mei sized up Bian Ke. It turned out that this girl was just pretending to be a docile little lamb the day before yesterday. The arrogant and domineering Bian Ke in front of her was her real self.

“No,” Qiao Mei said expressionlessly.

“It’s not easy to get ginseng nowadays! Bian Ke, why do you need ginseng?” Xu Lan asked.

“My grandfather is old and not in good health. I hear that Third Sister-in-law has ginseng that can prolong life, so I want to get one for my grandfather,” Bian Ke said aggrievedly with tears in her eyes. She looked so pitiful that anyone who saw her would feel sorry for her.

However, Qiao Mei did not believe what Bian Ke said. The Bian family and the Xia family were not familiar with each other. It was Xu Lan’s friend who introduced Bian Ke to Meng Yuan. The Xia family had always said that the ginseng belonged to the Xia family, so how did she know that the ginseng actually came from Qiao Mei?

“I don’t have any 100-year-old ginseng, but I still have a 30-year-old wild ginseng. If you really want it, I can sell it to you,” Qiao Mei said.

“But… but I don’t have money…” Bian Ke whispered.

Xia He sneered and said, “Most people can’t even chance upon such a rare item. Are you thinking about taking our family’s things to showcase your filial piety?”

In her heart, Qiao Mei gave Xia He a thumbs up. Xia He was good at reading people now. She could sense very quickly what these people with ulterior motives were thinking.

“That’s not what I mean! I’ll buy it! But I don’t have a lot of money, so perhaps you can let me have it on credit! After all, my grandfather’s life is more important,” Bian Ke said.

Qiao Mei was not an unreasonable person. She had already checked on Bian Ke’s family background. Her grandfather was old and had a bad cough and it was suspected to be lung cancer. Only her 1,000-year-old ginseng juice could cure him. Otherwise, it would be useless no matter how much money the family spent.

“Sure. The original price of this ginseng is 200,000 dollars. I can sell it to you for 150,000 dollars,” Qiao Mei said casually.
