Chapter 1362 Stingy

Chapter 1362 Stingy

In the beginning, Ye Xiang would fantasize about the future and how she should behave as a rich man's wife. In order to go home with this man, she even bought a new set of clothes and kept thinking about the promises that he made to her.

Unexpectedly, after a few days, the man gave her 100 dollars and then left the small county city. Ye Xiang originally thought that this was the beginning of her moneyed lifestyle, but she did not expect that trouble was brewing.

Ye Xiang had never imagined that the man actually had a wife and children. His wife hired a group of thugs to smash up Ye Xiang's house. It was useless even when Ye Xiang called the police.

Even if she went back now, she would be homeless. She might as well wait for death at the Deng family's house!

"There's no use for you to stay here. I know everything you have done. I'd advise you to leave the capital immediately and not let me see you in the capital again. If you agree readily, maybe I can even give you some money for the train ticket," Qiao Mei said.

She would just treat it as giving Ye Xiang a handout. If she could use 30 dollars to solve the Deng family's current predicament, it was a very good deal indeed.

"I'm not leaving! Jiang Shu! Do you really want me to die!" Ye Xiang said as she turned to look at Jiang Shu.

"Deng Fan, bring Uncle and Auntie back to the bedroom. Qiao Mei and I will take care of things here," Xia He said as she looked at Deng Fan tenderly.

This was originally a matter for the Deng family to handle, but now that Ye Xiang was pressing on incessantly and using Jiang Shu's soft-heartedness to stir up trouble, Xia He could not care about the optics. She had to take action on this matter.

Deng Fan obediently sent his parents back to the bedroom and locked the door before returning to Xia He's side.

"This is a matter between us elders. You little brats have no right to talk to me! I want Jiang Shu to talk to me!" Ye Xiang said.

"We wanted to talk to you politely, but it seems that there's no need now. You have to know that this is not a discussion. We're telling you to choose between the two options. If you continue to cause trouble, then we'll just send the two of you to jail," Xia He said as she looked at Ye Xiang coldly.

"You're not the Deng family's daughter-in-law yet!" Before Ye Xiang could finish speaking, Deng Fan interrupted her and said, "My wife is Xia He. Other than Xia He, I won't marry anyone else. Xia He is the only daughter-in-law of the Deng family!"

Xia He looked at Deng Fan and smiled. It felt good to be protected. In the past, she had always been the one to rush to the front to be the protector. Now, she also had someone to protect her.

"If you leave now, we'll give you 15 dollars for travel expenses on account of your past friendship. This money is enough for you to leave the capital and go anywhere," Xia He said.

Qiao Mei secretly gave Xia He a thumbs up. She did not expect Xia He to be even stingier than her. Qiao Mei had actually intended to include the money for a meal for the two women.

Ye Xiang looked at Ye Lei, who was lying in her arms, then at Xia He and said, "We'll leave the capital... but can you give us more money..."

Xia He sighed. She took out 20 dollars from Deng Fan's pocket and threw it to Ye Xiang. "That's all we have. We won't give you any more. Leave quickly with your daughter and don't come back again."

Ye Xiang looked at Xia He with indignation and hatred in her eyes. Qiao Mei quickly stood in front of Xia He and said, "I have all the evidence of your crimes here, so you'd better behave yourself in the future. I'll keep an eye on you at all times. If you dare to come back and cause trouble, then don't blame us for whatever happens."

Ye Xiang grabbed the money from the ground and left the Deng family's house with Ye Lei dejectedly. They still did not know where they could go. However, what happened to them in the future no longer had anything to do with Qiao Mei and the rest. Whether they lived or died would depend on their fates.

After the women left, Xia He looked at Deng Fan coldly before grabbing Qiao Mei and leaving the Deng family's house. She did not say anything and ignored Deng Fan no matter what he said behind her.

"Elder Sister, what's wrong with you?" Qiao Mei asked Xia He in the car confusedly.

The issue had already been resolved. They could focus on preparations for Xia He and Deng Fan's wedding next. Why was Xia He unhappy now?

"I just feel that the Deng family can't protect me. Do you know what I mean?" Xia He was a little conflicted and did not know if she should think that way.
