“Why should I lie to you? All the medicinal wine is with the Xia family. The Xia family doesn’t even have enough for themselves now, so they won’t be able to share any. You should go back,” Qiao Qiang said.

Much earlier, the Xia family had given their medicinal wine to many people. So long as it was someone who had done the Xia family a favor in the past, Xia Wen would give them one bottle if they came to ask for it. Later on, he set a limit and would only give out two bottles a month. By now, he had already stopped giving it out.

This was also to prevent people from hoarding the medicinal wine because they believed in its longevity effect. If someone could not resist the temptation and became a target for He Ning, it would only be detrimental to the person.

Liang Guo was not a fool. He clearly knew that the medicinal wine came from Qiao Mei, not the Xia family. As long as he could grab hold of Qiao Mei, he would have an endless supply of medicinal wine. Qiao Qiang was only using the Xia family as an excuse.

“Father! Just give me some! 1 know you must still have some left! You can’t just watch my mother die!” Liang Guo said.

“My surname is Qiao! As for Qiao Mei’s husband, his surname is Xia! Your surname is Liang, so how are you related to us? Leave this place now! Otherwise, I’ll get someone to throw you out!” Qiao Qiang said.

“Da Zhuang, Xiao Zhuang! Send him out!” After saying that, Qiao Mei helped Qiao Qiang back into the house.

Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang understood what she meant. They grabbed Liang Guo and escorted him out of the alley. The people standing around only returned home after watching Liang Guo leave the premises.

Shi Rui turned away and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes. Then, she turned around with a smile and asked Qiao Mei, “When did you come back?”

“It’s been quite a while,” Qiao Mei said coldly.

“I see. When are you free? I’ll go to your house for a visit. I miss you very much when you’re not around. I have a lot of things to tell you!” Shi Rui said fervently.

“Really? Are we that close? I’m not that close to Uncle Xu of the Xu family. Besides, I’m not free nowadays. We’ll see how it goes in the future,” Qiao Mei said.

After coming back, Qiao Mei had not even caught up with Qian’e, so why would she have the time to meet Shi Rui? It was clear that Shi Rui must be up to no good and she did not want to invite a wolf into her house.

Shi Rui stood there awkwardly. She had always been eloquent since she was young and she also looked dignified and classy. Everyone was always full of praises for her and no one would ever say no to her. This was the first time she had encountered someone as blunt as Qiao Mei.

Seeing that Xia Wen was about to leave, Shi Rui did not stay around any longer. After Shi Rui left, Xia Wen packed his things and left with Qiao Mei. The two of them did not speak along the way and it was only when they got into the car that Qiao Mei asked the question she had been keeping inside.

“Eldest Brother, why is that woman in your office?” Qiao Mei asked.

“Sigh... It’s a long story...” Xia Wen said dolefully..Th.ê most uptodate novels are published on n(0)velbj)n(.)co/m
