After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1035

1035 Shield
Just as the three of them were wondering what to do next, Qiao Mei thought she had come up with a good idea.

“How about we get some fake medicine and then arrange for two of our own people to come up and snatch it from me. Once we break the bottle, then won’t it be the end of all this?” Qiao Mei said excitedly as she looked at the two of them.

“Will those people outside believe it? They’re not fools. It’s very likely that they will beat up our people instead. If that happens, we’ll have to pay for their medical fees.” Xia He looked at the crowd outside the door worriedly. She felt that those people had already gone crazy. If anyone made the “divine medicine” disappear, they would probably make that person disappear too.

There was no lack of medical professionals in the crowd. If people found out that there was fake stuff involved, the Xia family’s reputation would be tarnished. The solution to this problem must be foolproof and not even the slightest mistake could be allowed.

“I still think it’s better to just tell everyone that the medicine has all been used up. After all, everyone knows how serious Father’s injuries are. Since it’s a ‘divine medicine’, then they must know that a rare thing tends to be very valuable. It won’t be good if it appears as if we are a distributor of the ‘divine medicine’. At some point in time, someone will use this fact to kick up a fuss,” Xia Wen said.

!!
Qiao Mei still felt unsettled. There were capable doctors who were able to work out the ingredients in medicine just by smelling it. After some experimentation, they would gradually be able to adjust the ratio of the ingredients so that they could work out the formula.

Furthermore, the Xia family was already caught between a rock and a hard place. They could not give it to outsiders, but if they did not give it to anyone at all, there would definitely be people who could not sit still anymore.

“Sigh…” The three of them sat on the sofa and sighed together. They had never encountered such a difficult problem before!

Qiao Mei flipped through the messages on her pager out of boredom. She suddenly stood up from her seat and cheered happily, “I have an idea!”
Xia He and Xia Wen looked up at Qiao Mei and asked, “What is it?”

Qiao Mei showed them the pager. There was a message from He Ning asking Qiao Mei to call him when she had time. He said he had something to tell her.

“Let’s make it known to the public that He Ning has bought all the medicine. I don’t think there’s anyone in the capital who needs this medicine more than He Ning,” Qiao Mei said.

He Ning was well-known for being weak and sickly. Everyone had thought that He Ning would not be able to live longer than another two to three years and that he was going to die young. As He Ning was a businessman, it made sense for him to offer to buy this medicine at a high price. This would not only explain how Xia Mao’s family had the money to rent expensive medical equipment for him to use at home, but it would also put an end to this matter once and for all.

No one would dare to covet this medicine once it fell into He Ning’s hands. It would not even be enough for He Ning himself! There was no way he would sell it to anyone else. Besides, was there anyone who was richer than He Ning?

Apart from the wish to live for a few more years, He Ning did not lack anything else. Even if anyone offered to exchange all kinds of rare treasures with He Ning, he would not be interested.

“But our family and the He family are irreconcilable enemies. Would anyone believe this?” Xia He asked.

At the moment, both the Xia family and the He family were just biding their time. Once there was a chance, the He family would definitely relaunch an attack. How could a vengeful person like He Ning be afraid of the Xia family just because of that little bit of ginseng?

It was just that he could not find an opportunity. Qiao Mei was the key that kept the He family in check. As long as Qiao Mei was around, the He family would not be able to create any big trouble for the time being.

“Leave it to me,” Qiao Mei said as she snapped her fingers smugly.

Qiao Mei went to the house phone. As soon as she plugged in the phone line, a call came in. Within three seconds after she hung up, another call came in. As long as Qiao Mei hesitated for a moment, the calls would keep coming in, not giving her any time to catch her breath. Qiao Mei quickly hung up the phone and dialed He Ning’s number at the same time.

After a long while, someone picked up the phone.

“Hello?” He Ning said in a hoarse voice.

“Why do you sound half-dead?” Qiao Mei said mockingly.

He Ning was really too tired to argue with Qiao Mei. He yawned slowly and said, “Sister, please look at the time. It’s already past one in the morning. Isn’t it normal for me to be sleeping?”

“Didn’t you ask me to call you back? I received your message the moment I switched on my pager?” Qiao Mei looked at the pager in confusion.
