1358 Body Search
When Ye Lei saw people coming out of the house, she wept even harder. If not for the fact that Ye Lei wiped off her tears with her sleeve as she cried, Qiao Mei felt like putting a big basin under Ye Lei’s face. Perhaps if Ye Lei cried for a day and a night, she would be able to fill up the basin.

Then they could use Ye Lei’s tears to wash the vegetables and dishes. This way, they would be able to save water. Ye Lei could also be considered to have contributed to the conservation of water resources on Earth.

Qiao Mei suddenly had a weird idea. If she used Ye Lei’s tears to water the flowers, would she be able to cultivate new types of flowers? A long time ago, she had promised the old man selling flowers that she would grow a unique camellia one day!

After Qiao Mei and the others came out, they did not say anything and just quietly watched Ye Lei cry. Qiao Mei was even concerned that Ye Lei would get tired from crying, so she thoughtfully put a pot full of water in front of Ye Lei. When Ye Lei ran out of steam, she would be able to drink some water before continuing to cry.

“What’s the meaning of this?” Ye Lei questioned.

“We’re just concerned about your health. If you lose your voice, then how can you continue to frame us? It’s only noon now and there’s still plenty of time for you to cry. Take your time and cry slowly,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“You’re talking nonsense! When did I frame anyone! I’m telling the truth! Deng Fan and I are in love with each other and we’re already engaged! If not for you! Deng Fan and I will be getting married in a few days!” Ye Lei said firmly.

After telling lies for so long, Ye Lei could no longer differentiate between truth and lies.

“I’m getting so sick of hearing you say these same few sentences all the time. Can you say something new?” Qiao Mei asked.

“I still have… many things to say about Deng Fan! If you know what’s good for you, quickly lead me into the house. Otherwise, I’ll spew all the dirt on Deng Fan in front of everyone!” Ye Lei pointed at Deng Fan and said righteously, as if she was the heroine who had come to punish an evildoer.

Qiao Mei knew very well whether there was any dirt on Deng Fan. Back when Xia He wanted to date Deng Fan, Xia Zhe had already arranged for someone to investigate Deng Fan. He had a clean background and did not have any bad records. The people around him all spoke well of him. Only then did Xia Zhe feel at ease to allow Xia He to carry on with Deng Fan.

Xia Zhe was not the only one who had investigated Deng Fan in private. Xia Mao, Xia Wen, Xia Xiu and even Xia Fang had arranged for the people around them to find out whatever they could about Deng Fan. At this moment, apart from the state of Deng Fan’s physical body, they knew everything else about him.
“Is that so?” Qiao Mei slowly walked to Ye Lei’s side, squatted down and whispered into her ear, “Are you talking about the baby? Don’t tell me that baby is Deng Fan’s child? The thing is you’re just looking for a father for the bastard child you’re carrying.”

In an instant, Ye Lei felt as if all the blood in her body was frozen. They had kept this matter a secret and no one had discovered it so far. Back then, she was afraid that the matter would be exposed if she went to a big hospital, so she specially asked Ye Xiang to find a small clinic for her to do the physical examination. How could Qiao Mei know about this?

She had even used a piece of cloth to wrap tightly around her stomach, worried that people would find out that she was pregnant. Could it be that Qiao Mei was really so resourceful?

Who was Qiao Mei and how did she know about the pregnancy!

“Are you scared? I never imagine that you will get scared. If you are able to chat politely with us, maybe we can give you a chance for a calm conversation. If you still want to continue to cause trouble at the Deng family’s door, then I can’t guarantee where you and your mother will spend the rest of your lives,” Qiao Mei said.

Ye Lei slumped to the ground, looking very stiff. Ye Xiang also heard the conversation between Qiao Mei and Ye Lei.

“We… we’ll come in with you…” Ye Xiang said as she helped Ye Lei up.

Qiao Mei glanced at Ye Xiang and then said to Xia He, “Elder Sister, can you carry out a body search on them? I’m worried that they’re carrying dangerous items. It would be disastrous if they go in and hurt Auntie.”

Xia He nodded. Ye Xiang and Ye Lei were very cooperative. They were so scared that Qiao Mei would reveal their real intentions in public. If the truth was exposed, they would have nowhere to go in the capital. There was already no way out for them.
