After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

Chapter 2447: Visit He Ning

“But it’s strange that the He family didn’t come to the Xia family to ask for medicine or ginseng,” Xia Wen said.

“They probably know that we definitely won’t give it to him,” Qiao Mei said.

“He has done so many nasty things. He deserves to end up like this!” Xia Zhe said resentfully.

Qiao Mei looked at the teacup in her hand. The water swirled and then calmed down, only to repeat again. The never-ending movements were like the fight between their family and the He family. They had been at loggerheads for generations. Now that He Ning was going to die, this farce was finally going to be over.

“I’ll go and visit him,” Qiao Mei said after thinking for a long time.

“You will? Why?” Xia Wen asked in confusion. Xia Zhe was only puzzled for a moment. After seeing Qiao Mei’s expression, Xia Zhe understood why Qiao Mei wanted to take one last look at He Ning.

Xia Zhe smiled and said, “Go ahead. I’ll go with you.”

“I want to go by myself. If you go, what Eldest Brother said just now will really come true!” Qiao Mei said with a laugh.

“Then you must be careful. Contact me if anything happens,” Xia Zhe said.

“Alright,” Qiao Mei said.

This time round, Qiao Mei asked the ladies of the other prominent families to go with her to visit He Ning. She did not dare to visit He Ning alone in case it led to any scandalous rumors.

He Ning was busking in the sun in the garden on the first floor. All the ladies knew why Qiao Mei had asked them to come along. After greeting He Ning, they tactfully stood some distance away.

“You’re here…” He Ning looked at Qiao Mei and said weakly.

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning in silence. She had not seen him for a long time. He was now only 70 pounds and looked like a bag of bones. It was quite a scary sight.

“Did you expect that I would come and visit you?” Qiao Mei sat on the chair opposite He Ning and asked mildly.

“I thought about it… but I didn’t expect you to really come… Are you… are you here to laugh at me?” He Ning asked.

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning and suddenly felt a little sad. Although they knew each other for less than 10 years, it still made her emotional to think about the past they shared.

“I’m just curious about why you didn’t come to my house to ask for medicine even though you’re about to die. The old you would definitely try your best to survive,” Qiao Mei said.

“Well… I don’t have that much strength anymore. There’s no way out for me now,” He Ning said.

Qiao Mei took out a bottle of medicinal wine and placed it in front of He Ning. It was a bottle of medicinal wine that glowed with a faint golden color. She looked at He Ning and said, “Are you interested?”

“You must… have conditions…” He Ning said with a slight smile.

“You can keep the house. Give me all the He family’s properties and connections,” Qiao Mei said.

“I thought you would be kind and I never expect you to be taking advantage of the situation. The He family’s ancestral assets should be enough to get at least six bottles of medicinal wine…” He Ning said mockingly.

Qiao Mei smiled and said, “I’ve never been a good person. I still remember all the things you did to my family back then and I’ll never forget anything. However, you’re about to die and don’t have any descendants, so what’s the point of me being so calculative? I might as well be practical and come and do a deal with you.”

“After I die, there’s still my older brother… The He family will be enemies with the Xia family for generations! Cough, cough, cough…” He Ning spoke so forcefully that he kept coughing.

Qiao Mei glanced at Huo Gao, who handed He Ning a cup of medicinal tea to calm him down. He Ning panted for a long time before he calmed down.

“I’m not here to argue with you. I just want to do business with you. Isn’t it good to live a few more days? Why make it so hard for yourself? I’m just looking for a win-win solution,” Qiao Mei said sincerely to He Ning.

“Hahahaha! What a joke! If not for Xia Zhe, you might…” He Ning stared fixedly at Qiao Mei. He did not dare to say the second half of his sentence, nor could he say it out loud. He originally thought that he only wanted to get hold of Qiao Mei to take revenge on the Xia family. At the same time, he could get Qiao Mei to cook medicinal cuisine for him every day to improve his health. It was only now that he realized his real feelings for Qiao Mei. He had actually fallen in love with her at first sight.

He had met many women and most of them targeted him for his standing in society. Some of these women might have been in love with him, but most of them were extremely boring and he was not interested in them at all. Qiao Mei was like the spice in his boring life, making him feel that there was still an interesting woman in the world.

However, he had been blinded by hatred. His own happiness, health and love were all unimportant things! He did not deserve these! He wanted to take revenge for his family first and address the grudges between the He and Xia families which had lasted for generations! Only then could he live for himself.

At this point of his life, it was meaningless for him to pursue those things anymore. Even if he drank the medicinal wine Qiao Mei offered him, he would only have a few more years at most. He might as well die sooner so that he would not need to feel any more pain.
