Chapter 2207: Ginseng Scraps

Editor: Atlas Studios

“Do you think I’m in the mood to eat now!” He Ning said resignedly.

“No human can survive without food. If you don’t eat, you’ll get hungry. Anyway, whatever it is, it has already happened. You don’t have any way to reverse time and space, so just eat the medicine first,” Huo Gao said in a righteous manner.

He Ning wished that he could cut Huo Gao into pieces! Why was he surrounded by useless people! Fortunately, the outside world did not know about his relationship with the Bian family. Otherwise, the prominent families in the capital would laugh at him instead of the Bian family!

His reputation was almost ruined by Bian Ke!

In Huo Gao’s eyes, Bian Ke was just an idiot. He thought that He Ning arranged for her to join the Xia family so that she could help to get some benefits from the Xia family? That would mean that getting the ginseng was a good thing, was it not? Even though the ginseng was too young.

“So why exactly do you want to place her in the Xia family?” Huo Gao asked.

“Hmph, why! To shoot myself in the foot! To let the Xia family be suspicious of me! I must be crazy to want to let that woman marry into the Xia family!” He Ning said in annoyance.

His biggest mistake was to make use of Bian Ke! He should not have believed Bian Ke and let her get so close to him!

“Calm down. It’s already the best case scenario that Bian Ke didn’t give up your name in the end,” Huo Gao said.

“If she dares to give up my name! I’ll make sure that everyone in the Bian family is subjected to eternal damnation! I’m also a victim in this matter! What’s the point of giving up my name!” He Ning said.

Was he a victim? Yes he was. After all, he did not try to frame the Xia family in this matter. Should he use this point and try to talk to Qiao Mei?

“If I bring this pile of ginseng scraps to Qiao Mei, do you think she’ll forgive me? Maybe she’ll even make me a meal,” He Ning asked Huo Gao.

For a moment, Huo Gao did not know how to answer this question. After thinking for a long time, he said, “I don’t think so. Don’t even think about it.”

“Why! I haven’t even tried, so how do you know it won’t work? At least I’m returning the ginseng to her! Why won’t she let me into her house?” He Ning asked.

“Maybe… she just doesn’t like you. Even if you don’t do anything and just stand in front of Qiao Mei with a smile, she won’t let you into her house,” Huo Gao said honestly.

“If Qiao Mei won’t, then I’ll ask Xia Wen,” He Ning said.

“Xia Wen finds you even more unpleasant to the eye,” Huo Gao said as he held his forehead.

“I have a way to make Xia Wen give me the ginseng willingly,” He Ning said with a smile.

He Ning would never tell anyone about any of his plans. The He family had many enemies. Even if some people chose to submit to the He family now, they only did it because of the circumstances. Once they could find an opportunity to turn the tables on He Ning, they would work together to bring him down. The more people who knew about his plans, the more disadvantageous it would be for him.

Qiao Mei retracted her energy. She did not know how He Ning wanted to deal with Xia Wen, but with Xia Wen’s intelligence, he would definitely be able to resolve it perfectly.

She drove to Xia Wen’s house. At this hour, Xia Wen was playing with Xia Sun. It reminded her of Xia Zhe playing with Xia Fan and the two children.

“Eldest Brother,” Qiao Mei stood outside the door and called out to him.

“You’re here! Come in!” Xia Wen carried Xia Sun and greeted her.

“No, I won’t go in. I’m here to ask you about the progress on the matter about giving ginseng to He Ning?” Qiao Mei asked.

“What He Ning wants to give me in return is not what I want. He doesn’t seem to need the ginseng badly enough, so I haven’t agreed to give it to him yet,” Xia Wen said truthfully.

Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction and said, “String him along for a while more. Some of my ginsengs are with my grandfather. If you decide to give He Ning the ginseng, you can ask my grandfather for it.”

“What about you? Where are you going?” Xia Wen was sharp enough to sense what Qiao Mei meant.

“I want to go to Country M to look for Xia Zhe, but the air tickets to Country M are a little hard to get now,” Qiao Mei said.

“I’ll help you get the air tickets. You just have to pack your luggage. Don’t bring too much cash with you this time,” Xia Wen said.

Xia Wen knew that Qiao Mei had assets in Country M and that Xia Zhe was doing well there. Xia Zhe definitely would not let Qiao Mei have a hard time there. Trade between the two countries was gradually warming up now, but there was a limited number of passenger planes. If one wanted to buy an air ticket to go overseas, one needed to put in the application half a month to a month in advance. Sometimes, the application might even be rejected.

Qiao Mei did not have any connections in the aviation department at the moment. She had asked around but could not find any spare air tickets. She wished that she could just buy her own plane to fly her around the world.

This could only happen in her dreams. After all, if she did that, it would be too ostentatious and would attract the attention of the government. Once she was in the spotlight, it would be very difficult for her to do anything.
