Chapter 1562 Sorry to Disturb YouChapter 1562 Sorry to Disturb You
The next day, Du Bo and Du Miao went to Qiao Mei's house with a pile of gifts. They wanted to look sincere enough to convince Qiao Mei to give them some "divine medicine".
"Be nice to her when you see her later. Don't pull a long face," Du Bo said to Du Miao with a slight frown.
Du Bo should say that to himself. He was the only one with a cold expression.
Du Miao nodded. His current expression was not directed at Qiao Mei, but purely because he was unhappy with Du Bo. Why did the two of them have to take the same car? He thought they were going to the Xia family residence? Why did they need to go to Qiao Mei's place first?
However, as long as they could get the "divine medicine" to save Old Master Song, he would put up with it.

After Du Bo and Du Miao tidied their appearances, they got out of the car and knocked on the door. When Xu Kang saw them, she was a little puzzled. She had never seen these two people before nor had she received any notification about any visit in advance.
"You are?" Xu Kang asked.
"We're from the Du family and we're here to see Qiao Mei. I wonder if she has time to meet us," Du Miao said with a smile.
"Do you have an appointment?" Xu Kang asked.
"Appointment?" Du Bo muttered unhappily.
Why would the Du family need to make an appointment to pay a visit to someone? Qiao Mei was too full of herself to have such a request of her visitors.
"Yes, we usually don't let outsiders in unless an appointment is fixed a few days in advance. Otherwise, we won't entertain any request," Xu Kang said.
"Please go and ask if you can make an exception for us. I'm Xia He's friend. You can check with her," Du Miao said.
Xu Kang closed the door and ran in to look for Xia He. Xia He had thought that it would be someone from the Song family, but she did not expect the Du family to come around first. It was so troublesome.
"You… What do you want?" Xia He asked curiously.
"We're here to visit Qiao Mei and to ask for a favor," Du Miao said honestly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXia He sized them up for a while and then said, "She's not up yet. You might have to wait in the living room for a while. Come in with me first."
This was the first time they had seen the house for themselves. Du Miao only felt that this woman was much more capable than the rumors made her out to be. She displayed all her antiques at home so openly. Other people would usually hide away their treasures.
Du Bo, on the other hand, felt that this was a woman who spent money recklessly. There was no need to buy all these things that were on display in the house. She must have secretly bought all these things while Xia Zhe was not at home.
Xia He did not seem as close to Song Dan as he claimed. Du Miao was Song Dan's best friend, but Xia He did not welcome him warmly. It seemed that Song Dan was just boasting.
"Hmph… It's really an eye-opener for me to see such an extravagant woman so valued by the Xia family. The Xia family's luck is about to come to an end," Du Bo said mockingly in a low voice.
Xia He frowned as she looked at Du Bo. He had the cheek to have such an attitude when he was here to ask for help. If not for the fact that Du Bo was an elder, Xia He would have chased them out with a stick earlier.
"Qiao Mei is our family's lucky star. The moment she married into the family, she gave my grandfather two grandchildren and made my parents very happy. She even used her family heirloom to save my father's life during a critical moment. She brings prosperity to our family and even runs a factory now. I guess your daughter-in-law must be much more capable than Qiao Mei. Otherwise, you won't look down on Qiao Mei, right?" Xia He questioned.
Du Bo was left speechless for a moment. Du Miao's wife, Zhu Zhen, had married into the Du family for more than 10 years and only gave birth to a daughter. She neither corrected Du Miao's unruly behavior nor brought her children home to be filial to her in-laws. Compared to Qiao Mei, she had no merits at all.
"In that case, she's indeed not bad." Du Bo looked around and continued, "But look at the time now. Why is she still sleeping? As her elder sister, you have to teach her well. She's from the countryside and doesn't know how to behave, so she needs to learn the rules."
"Our family doesn't have so many rules. Moreover, she's pregnant now! It's a big deal to be able to add a new member to the Xia family, so it's fine for her to sleep more. It doesn't even matter if she sleeps the whole day. Her health is the most important thing now, don't you think so?" Xia He continued.
