499 Exchange “Life” for Money

He Ning ran a thriving business and many people must have given him gifts over the years. He must have a lot of savings.

“I don’t have that much money now…” He Guo said embarra.s.sedly.

“I don’t have much money on hand either. I’ve given whatever I have to He Mei to pay for your release. I still owe money to people outside and I still need medicinal herbs to keep myself alive. I really don’t have any extra money,” He Ning said.

Medicinal herbs!

He Guo’s eyes lit up. He looked at He Ning excitedly and said, “Youngest brother! You have medicine! If you sell your ginseng and lingzhi and stuff, you can probably get more than 200,000 dollars!”

He Wei looked at He Guo with disdain. It was no wonder that He Guo would feel sorry for He Man. The two of them were the same kind of people, so of course they appreciated each other.

“Eldest brother, be more humane! That’s medicine which can save He Ning’s life! You want to use your brother’s life to exchange for money! Do you have any conscience!” He Wei said agitatedly.

It was only at this moment that He Guo realized what a shameless thing he had said. Even if he had to sell off everything else, he could not take He Ning’s medicine.

“I… I don’t mean that!” He Guo explained anxiously.

He Ning waved his hand. He did not want to waste any more time here and did not want to hear more about how his life could be exchanged for money.

“Alright, let’s end this matter here. No more discussion. I’ll settle He Mei’s issue. Now I’m going home to rest. If there’s anything else, contact Huo Gao.” He Ning dragged his ailing body slowly towards the door. His skinny frame made him look very pitiful.

By now, Huo Gao also saw the true colors of the He family clearly. No matter how harmonious they were in the past, when it came to matters of life and death, everyone only knew how to hurt others’ interests, or even lives, for their own benefit.

“Actually, you can stay out of this matter,” Huo Gao whispered as he supported He Ning.

He Ning sneered. Of course he knew that.

“If I don’t do anything, do you think Xia Wen won’t come and take revenge on me? The Xia family just has no time to deal with me now. If I don’t settle Qiao Mei’s matter properly, Xia Wen will come knocking on my door to denounce me,” He Ning said.

“Qian’e didn’t tell the Xia family about this, did she? Why would they come and find trouble with us without any substantial evidence?” Huo Gao asked.

“Even if she didn’t, this whole matter arose only because of that stupid He Mei. With the existence of that three-year agreement, it can only be the He family’s fault. I have to settle our family matters first before dealing with the outsiders. After we get back, go check on the Xia family’s recent activities,” He Ning said.

“Alright, I’ll arrange for someone to do that,” Huo Gao said.

At the hospital , some people came to visit Qiao Mei every day. Of course, it was not just the Xia family members, but also Liang Guo and Liang Lan.

They had also heard gossip that Qiao Mei had almost lost her life after being pushed into the river. If not for the fact that someone had pa.s.sed by, Qiao Mei would definitely have lost her life. People even said that Qiao Mei had been knocked down by a car and left on the road, and that she would never be able to have children again.

There were all kinds of rumors going around. They did not know who to believe and could only come over personally to take a look.

If what other people said was true and Qiao Mei had become infertile, then she was no longer useful to them. Which wealthy family would treat an infertile daughter-in-law well since she could not carry on the family line for them?

Moreover, Xia Zhe was the future successor of the Xia family. If he did not have an heir, he would not be able to bring the Xia family to greater heights and hand down the achievements of his ancestors.

By then, it was even possible that the Xia family would dump Qiao Mei!

They had to seize the opportunity to take a look at Qiao Mei’s current situation and then observe how the Xia family was treating her. This way, they would also know how to deal with what would happen next.

“Mei Mei, the Liang siblings have been waiting outside the door for two days. Should we let them in,” Xia He said helplessly.

“I also know that they come here every day. If I let them in, they’ll definitely fake their concern and ask about me for a long time. Just say that I can’t see them now and that the doctor said I’m not in a good mood and I may go crazy at any time.” Qiao Mei buried herself under the blanket in annoyance.

Xia He had no choice but to go out and persuade the Liang siblings to go back. “Don’t come again. This won’t be good for Qiao Mei’s recovery.”

“Then how’s Qiao Mei’s health? Can she still have children?” Liang Lan asked.

Xia He suddenly felt that Qiao Mei was right. These two people did not come here for a simple purpose.
