Chapter 2207: Ginseng Scraps
"Do you think I'm in the mood to eat now!" He Ning said resig
"No human can survive without food. If you don't eat, you'll g is, it has already happened. You don't have any way to reverse 1 medicine first," Huo Gao said in a righteous manner.
He Ning wished that he could cut Huo Gao into pieces! Why wa people! Fortunately, the outside world did not know about his family. Otherwise, the prominent families in the capital would Bian family!
His reputation was almost ruined by Bian Ke!
.
GOT IT
In Huo Gao's eyes, Bian Ke was just an idiot. He thought that He Ning arranged for her to join the Xia family so that she could help to get some benefits from the Xia family? That would mean that getting the ginseng was a good thing, was it not? Even though the ginseng was too young.
"So why exactly do you want to place her in the Xia family?" Huo Gao asked.
"Hmph, why! To shoot myself in the foot! To let the Xia family be suspicious of me! I must be crazy to want to let that woman marry into the Xia family!" He Ning said in annoyance.
His biggest mistake was to make use of Bian Ke! He should not have believed Bian Ke and let her get so close to him!
"Eldest Brother," Qiao Mei stood outside the door and called out to him.
"You're here! Come in!" Xia Wen carried Xia Sun and greeted her.
"No, I won't go in. I'm here to ask you about the progress on the matter about giving ginseng to He Ning?" Qiao Mei asked.
"What He Ning wants to give me in return is not what I want. He doesn't seem to need the ginseng badly enough, so I haven't agreed to give it to him yet," Xia Wen said truthfully.
Qiao Mei nodded in satisfaction and said, "String him along for a while more. Some of my ginsengs are with my grandfather. If you decide to give He Ning the ginseng, you can ask my grandfather for it."
"What about you? Where are you going?" Xia Wen was sharp enough to sense what Qiao Mei meant.
"I want to go to Country M to look for Xia Zhe, but the air tickets to Country M are a little hard to get now," Qiao Mei said.
"I'll help you get the air tickets. You just have to pack your luggage. Don't bring too much cash with you this time," Xia Wen said.
Xia Wen knew that Qiao Mei had assets in Country M and that Xia Zhe was doing well there. Xia Zhe definitely would not let Qiao Mei have a hard time there. Trade between the two countries was gradually warming up now, but there was a limited number of passenger planes. If one wanted to buy an air ticket to go overseas, one needed to put in the application half a month to a month in advance. Sometimes, the application might even be rejected.
Qiao Mei did not have any connections in the aviation department at the moment. She had asked around but could not find any spare air tickets. She wished that she could just buy her own plane to fly her around the world.
This could only happen in her dreams. After all, if she did that, it would be too ostentatious and would attract the attention of the government. Once she was in the spotlight, it would be very difficult for her to do anything.
