NovelEnglishAfter Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 1180 I Only Want The Divine Medicine
In the afternoon, He Ning brought along two boxes of gifts to the hospital together with Huo Gao. One of the boxes contained donkey-hide gelatin that he had specially sent someone to buy. It was said that to be the best thing to nourish the essence and vitality of women who had just given birth.
It was also a good opportunity to let Huo Gao take Qiao Mei's pulse and see how she was doing, and to check if she needed to eat medicinal cuisine to nourish her body. He heard that after giving birth, a woman's health would not be as good as before. He must take good care of Qiao Mei's health.
After all, He Ning had not gotten rid of Xia Zhe yet and Qiao Mei was still the "chef" that he had not employed yet! It would be a huge loss if Qiao Mei lost a few years of her life because of giving birth!
"What are you doing here!" Xia He was about to go out to get some hot water for Qiao Mei when she saw He Ning walking towards the ward. She stared at him warily as she spoke.
"Of course I'm here to congratulate Qiao Mei. How can I not come to attend such a big joyous occasion?" He Ning said casually.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtXia He sized up He Ning and then took a closer look at what He Ning had brought. Then, she turned sideways to let them into the ward.
"Everyone is here! It seems that I've come at the right time," He Ning said with a smile.
None of the Xia family members responded to him, but He Ning did not feel awkward at all. He put down his things and casually pulled up a stool to sit opposite Qiao Mei's bed.
Qiao Mei admired He Ning's thick skin the most. She did not know how he managed to train himself to be so shameless. No ordinary person would be able to do this.
"It's indeed a coincidence that you're here just as I'm feeling a little better. But what are you doing here? Don't tell me you're here to visit me?" Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
"Something like that. If you don't mind, Huo Gao can take a look at you," He Ning said.
Xia Zhe hurriedly handed the baby to Xia Fang and stood in front of Qiao Mei, blocking He Ning's view as he said, "You don't have to worry about anything."
"That's quite true. I'm here to collect on the debt. I wonder when Xia Wen will return the 500,000 dollars he owes me. It should be… about 800,000 dollars now," He Ning said as he counted with his fingers.
This was really a case of a weasel paying a visit to a chicken! He was up to no good!
An amount of 800,000 dollars! Xia Wen looked at He Ning in shock, but after that, he felt that it made sense. At that time, he was in a hurry to borrow money and did not wait to reach an agreement on many conditions. This gave He Ning a chance to take advantage of the situation.
Qiao Mei patted Xia Zhe's hand to indicate that he need not be so nervous. Since He Ning had come to look for her, it meant that what He Ning wanted was not money at all. In He Ning's eyes, money was just paper that was not worth his time.
"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Qiao Mei asked.
He Ning clapped his hands in appreciation and said, "I really like to talk to smart people. Didn't you ask me to take the blame for the 'divine medicine' the last time? Your family seems to be having a peaceful time now. Do you know how many people have been harassing my family? I'm not asking for much. 500,000 dollars and a bottle of 'divine medicine'. Once it's done, this debt between us will be written off."
Qiao Mei shook her head to reject He Ning's suggestion. It was not because she could not bear to part with the "divine medicine", but because she was very dissatisfied with He Ning's conditions.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe "divine medicine" was a treasure item that could not be bought even with money. How could it be only worth 300,000 dollars of interest? Was it that He Ning did not know how to do the math or did He Ning think that she was stupid?
A 100-year-old ginseng was already worth 600,000 dollars! This was "divine medicine" brewed from a 1,000-year-old ginseng. It was not too much to say that it was worth at least a million dollars!
"Don't ask for too much. One glass of 'divine medicine' and we're even," Qiao Mei said sternly.
Xia Wen quickly said to her, "Qiao Mei, I know you have good intentions, but I'm the one who borrowed the money. I'll bear the consequences myself. Don't worry about me."
It was not that Qiao Mei wanted to meddle in Xia Wen's affairs, but He Ning's original goal all this while was the "divine medicine" that Qiao Mei had. Anything he mentioned about money, objects or other people was just an excuse.
"It's fine, Eldest Brother. We're a family," Qiao Mei said with a smile.
"One glass? That's too little," He Ning said.
"You know very well what kind of effect this medicine has. It's even more precious than three or four 100-year-old ginsengs. If not for the fact that you had helped us, I wouldn't even give you this glass of 'divine medicine'. It's not as if our family can't afford to pay back the 800,000 dollars. You still owe me so much money," Qiao Mei said.
