“She’s pregnant again!” Du Miao said in shock.

“That’s right! This is such a cause for celebration and we’re all very happy! My parents don’t even dare to come and disturb Qiao Mei and especially ask me to come and take care of her,” Xia He said pointedly.

It was then that Qiao Mei entered the living room, already dressed nicely. She had heard whatever Xia He said just now. Nowadays, she could use any plant in the courtyard to be her eyes and ears. By now, it was as if she had paranormal vision and hearing.

The way Xia He protected her just now made her feel all warm and fuzzy inside. It felt really good to have family backing her up. Moreover, Xia He’s sharp tongue seemed to have become even sharper recently.

Qiao Mei was not afraid of the Du family at all. In her eyes, the Du family was not even as interesting as the He family. Qiao Mei had heard that the chief of the police department was about to be replaced and Du Miao was a person who would not achieve much. The Du family was probably the one whose luck was coming to an end.

“Such rare guests. I wonder why Uncle Du is here?” Qiao Mei asked.

“We’re here today to ask you for some ‘divine medicine’ to save a life,” Du Miao said nicely.

Qiao Mei had always told people that the “divine medicine” belonged to the Xia family and that if anyone wanted the “divine medicine”, they should go and look for Xia Mao. Gradually, no one remembered Qiao Mei’s part in it. It was quite a feat for Du Bo to be able to find out that she was the real owner of the “divine medicine”.

Du Bo… Du Jun… Could these two people be related?

How shameless of them. They had helped the He family get He Mei “pregnant with Xia Zhe’s child”, yet now they wanted to ask her for the “divine medicine”! No way!

“I’m sorry, I don’t have any here. I’ve given all the medicine to the Xia family. You should go and ask my father-in-law for it,” Qiao Mei said politely.

Du Bo was a little annoyed. This was definitely impossible. Would Qiao Mei hand over everything to the Xia family? She must have kept some for herself. It must be complete nonsense to say that everything was with the Xia family.

“I’ve already asked your father-in-law. He’s the one who asks me to come to your place,” Du Bo said coldly.

Qiao Mei did not believe it! Xia Mao was most unwilling to cause trouble for her, especially at this juncture. Everyone only wanted Qiao Mei to take good care during this pregnancy, so they would not allow the Du family to come and disturb Qiao Mei. Even the Xia family members themselves did not come to her house if there was no good reason.

“Is that so? Then let me make a call and ask him. But even then, I still don’t have anything for you,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“Little girl, we’re all living in the capital. If you make things easy for us, we’ll repay you for your help. But if you behave like this, how are we going to get along in the future?” Du Bo threatened.

“Oh? So does that mean Uncle Du knows someone else who has the ‘divine medicine’? I’m just an ignorant woman and this is the first time I’m hearing of it. In that case, Uncle Du, you should go and look for that person. I really don’t have any more medicine,” Qiao Mei said.

“Then… Do you have any good quality ginseng? We’ll buy it, no matter the price. Name your price. We can afford it no matter how much it is,” Du Miao said seriously.

Qiao Mei did not care about money at all. Money was nothing to her and the current Xia family. Even if she had to take out 100,000 dollars and burn the money to ashes, Qiao Mei would not even bat an eyelid.

“I’m not short of money. Besides, I really don’t have any ‘divine medicine’ anymore. Why don’t you go and look for He Ning? He bought a lot of ginseng and ‘divine medicine’ from me for his own use!” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Du Miao had already gone to look for He Ning and obtained He Ning’s “divine medicine”. If they wanted to take He Ning’s ginsengs, they would need to kill him. It would be more difficult than ascending to the heavens.

“Think about it again. Perhaps you left some in a corner and forgot about it?” Du Miao asked.

“There’s really no more. I’m tired after talking for so long. My elder sister will send you off.” After saying that, Qiao Mei winked playfully at Xia He.

Xia He led Du Bo and Du Miao out of Qiao Mei’s house. On their way back, Du Miao blamed Du Bo for being too aggressive just now. They clearly had a chance, but now they had failed.

After a while, Du Bo said, “Since the Xia family is unmoved by neither force nor persuasion, then they shouldn’t blame us for being unkind…”

“What are you going to do?” Du Miao asked.

“We’ll talk about it when we get home,” Du Bo said, closing his eyes.

Xia He ran to Qiao Mei’s bedroom and looked at her angrily, saying, “You make me chase them out! Quick, tell me! How are you going to make it up to me!”
