Qiao Mei silently gave him a thumbs up. She did not expect Xia Wen to have hidden his true colors!
At this moment, a shrill scream could be heard outside Qiao Mei’s house. Right on the heels of that, there was a continuous pounding on the door, each knock louder than the last. This caused all the neighbors to come out and see what was going on.
“Sigh... Ever since I moved here, my neighbors don’t have to watch television anymore. They just have to sit at my door every day. The drama here is even more exciting than the television shows!” Qiao Mei said resignedly.
“Qiao Mei! Please save Xia Xing! Please save my son!” Zhou Hua knelt at the door and begged.
Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei and asked, “Should we let her in?”
“Let’s wait a little longer. There’s no hurry,” Qiao Mei said.
After 15 minutes, the sounds outside the door gradually became softer. Qiao Mei glanced at Feng Hua, who immediately understood what she meant. Feng Hua walked to the door and invited Zhou Hua in.
“What are you doing at my house?” Qiao Mei asked Zhou Hua coldly.
“You’re all here! That’s great! You must have a way to save Xia Xing, am I right! You must have a way!” Zhou Hua’s eyes shone with excitement.
“What do you mean by that?” Zhou Hua asked as she looked at the medicinal wine in confusion.
The Xia family members who were present were those who drank the medicinal wine regularly to maintain their health, especially Xia He. She even wished that she could apply the medicinal wine to her face every day to maintain her youthful appearance. She was also the first one to discover that there was something wrong with the medicinal wine in front of them.
“Why is this medicinal wine such a bright green? The color of Qiao Mei’s medicinal wine is more darkish,” Xia He said.
Zhou Hua also realized that there was something wrong and immediately went berserk. She shook the bottles and shouted, “What’s going on! Who swapped out my medicinal wine! Who swapped out my things!”
These two bottles of medicinal wine had been kept with Zhou Luo all this while. The only person who was able to swap out the medicinal wine was Zhou Luo.
“Enough, stop making a fuss here,” Qiao Mei said.
Zhou Hua still could not believe it. She opened a bottle and took a sniff. A pungent smell drifted out of the bottle. Qiao Mei immediately recognized the smell of pesticide mixed with some green dye.
Zhou Hua behaved more and more like a crazy person. Qiao Mei called for Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang to throw Zhou Hua out the door and the house fell silent again.
“Elder Brother, is it possible that the He family is behind this?” Qiao Mei asked after thinking for a long time.
“The He family?” Xia Wen was stunned for a moment before asking this question. He had not thought about this possibility. He Ning had not gone against the Xia family for quite a while and Xia Wen had thought that He Ning had already given up.
“That’s right. I can’t think of anyone else who is rich enough, has the clout, a grudge against the Xia family and the time to set up a trap,” Qiao Mei said.
“You’re right. I have overlooked this. I never expect that he has not given up. I thought that he had learned his lesson after what happened the last time,” Xia Wen said with a frown.
