Chapter 2196: Weeping



Xia Bai and Wang Kun gasped. Qiao Mei wanted 200,000 dollars for a ginseng! That was daylight robbery! No wonder she was so rich. She was a scammer!Yôur favorite stories at novelhall.com

Actually, the two of them were right. Qiao Mei had started out by scamming money from bad people.

"How much! 150,000 dollars! The 50-year-old ginseng that my family bought is only 100,000 dollars. You actually want 150,000 dollars for a mere 30-year-old ginseng!" Bian Ke said in shock.

"The ginseng from our village is much more effective than ginseng from other places. If you don't believe me, you can ask around and see if I'm telling the truth," Qiao Mei said.

Before Qiao Mei left the village, she had left some ginseng sprouts in that mountain. By now, they had probably all been dug out by the villagers. Many influential families in the capital had found out about everything about the Xia family and they had all gone to Foshan Village to buy ginseng at a high price. News of this had long spread throughout the capital.

Bian Ke glared at Qiao Mei angrily, but Qiao Mei did not say anything else. She only raised her eyes and looked at Meng Yuan.

Meng Yuan understood what Qiao Mei meant. He looked at Bian Ke and said, "Third Sister- in-law's ginseng is indeed good stuff. If you don't have enough money, you can buy something else for your grandfather. I remember that Third Sister-in-law also has some lingzhi."

"How can that do! How can those lousy things compare with ginseng!" Bian Ke said.

In her eyes, even a 100-year-old lingzhi was only something useless. If other people knew about this, they would definitely scold her for not knowing her stuff!

"You're doing this on purpose!" Bian Ke pointed at Qiao Mei and accused her.

"I just have a bad memory," Qiao Mei said with a shrug.

Seeing that there was no way out, Bian Ke immediately squatted down and started wailing. As she wept, she cried out, "Grandfather~ Poor Grandfather~"

Bian Ke's voice kept echoing in the house. Qiao Mei suddenly started to regret having such a big space in the house since it tends to make sounds louder. Xia He was so angry that she wanted to slap Bian Ke. The reunion festival had only just ended, but Bian Ke was now weeping at their house! How unlucky!

"What does your poor grandfather have to do with our family... You're the one who's useless..." Xia You muttered softly in disdain.

"Enough, stop crying! If you have so much free time, you should go home and ask your family! Surely all of you can pool the money together!" Xia He said impatiently.

Bian Ke gradually stopped crying. She ignored the fact that there were elders present and just ran out in a rush. Qiao Mei looked at Meng Yuan and said, "Get Da Zhuang to drive her back. You stay behind."

Meng Yuan did as Qiao Mei said. The villa was quite high up in the mountains and near the forests. If Bian Ke walked to the bus stop on her own, she probably would not be able to make it home even by the time night fell.

Meng Yuan sat across from everyone, feeling uneasy. He already knew that they could not brush aside the incident today and that it was impossible for him and Bian Ke to continue with the relationship anymore.

"Meng Yuan, do you like her?" Xu Lan asked.

"So-so," Meng Yuan replied honestly. He only thought that Bian Ke was a beautiful girl but he really did not know her that well.
