After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback! - Chapter 1458

1458 Saving People With Medicine
Du Miao looked at Qiao Mei furiously and questioned her, “What right does a woman have to sit here and talk to me! Your eldest brother is still sitting here. When did the Xia family start to be represented by a woman with a different surname?”

Xia Wen looked at Du Miao unhappily. Before he could speak, Qiao Mei looked at Du Miao mockingly and said, “What era is it now? Don’t tell me that the women in your family can’t eat at the dining table? Do they need your permission to speak? Then I’ll get the women’s association to do a proper investigation and check on the women in your family to see if they have been treated inhumanely.”

Du Miao was about to retort when Xia Wen said, “You don’t have to worry about our Xia family’s matters. Qiao Mei has free rein in our family and can do whatever she wants. Even if Qiao Mei wants the moon in the sky, everyone in the Xia family will do their best to fulfill her wish.”

Qiao Mei looked at Xia Wen, feeling touched. It definitely felt good to have family members protecting her!

Du Miao’s breathing became heavier. He was a little angry, but he could not act rashly. Qiao Mei had saved Xia Mao’s life and she was now very precious to everyone in the Xia family. He could hurt any other Xia family members but not Qiao Mei.

He immediately changed the topic and said, “There were so many people present at the event tonight. We can ask them to come over and ask them one by one to find out the truth.”

He had carefully chosen each of those people. In fact, many of them were not Song Dan’s former classmates but were people hired to put on an act. After losing touch for so many years, everyone had long forgotten about one another. As long as it was mutually beneficial, what did it matter if someone else pretended to be them?

“That doesn’t mean anything! Who knows if you’ve bribed them! You said that Xia He kept urging Song Dan to drink, so don’t you think that the person who urged him to drink should also drink as much as him? Why is Xia He perfectly fine, but Song Dan ended up being hospitalized?” Qiao Mei questioned.

“Song Dan must have been bewitched by Xia He and listened to her!” Du Miao said firmly.

“Is that so? I heard from others that Song Dan has never been close to women. No matter how beautiful a woman is, he doesn’t care about her. Moreover, the more beautiful a woman is, the more annoyed Song Dan gets. Everyone in the capital knows about this all these years,” Qiao Mei said.

“What do you mean by this?” Du Miao asked.

“If he doesn’t like women, why would he listen to Xia He? He must have been too happy and drank too impulsively. It has nothing to do with anyone else,” Qiao Mei said.

Du Miao smacked the table angrily and pointed at Qiao Mei. “You! You’re talking nonsense!”

“I’m talking nonsense? If Xia He urged him to drink, then her fingerprints must be on the wine glass and bottle. We’ll know once we get Officer Zou to get these things tested. Oh right! Mr. Du, you’re also a police officer, so you should know that these procedures are always fair and just,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Xia Wen looked at Qiao Mei with admiration. There were many things that Qiao Mei could handle very well now and there was already no need for him to be the one to deal with issues. Even if he had to leave the capital to attend to urgent matters, Qiao Mei could be counted on to protect the Xia family when needed.

After thinking about it, Du Miao decided to reach a settlement with Xia Wen and Qiao Mei and see if he could get some other benefits out of this. Qiao Mei was the owner of that “divine medicine”. If he angered Qiao Mei and the Xia family, it would not help Song Dan when he needed the medicine to save Grandpa Song in the future.

Forget it… Grandpa Song treated him very well. He would swallow his anger today. There was still a long way to go. When there was a chance, he would teach Qiao Mei and the Xia family a lesson!

“Right now, Song Dan is at death’s door in the hospital. I understand that you can save him. Since what happened tonight was caused by Xia He and that… that kid surnamed Deng, you have to save Song Dan,” Du Miao said.

Qiao Mei smiled. No wonder he had said all those things just now. After going around in circles, the fact was that he wanted the medicine which she had. It must have been hard on Song Dan and Du Miao to have to go through so much trouble.

“I don’t have any medicine left. Everyone knows about this. Don’t tell me you don’t know?” Qiao Mei said.

“Your family must have kept some for yourselves. Don’t tell me you gave everything away? Don’t take me for a fool!” Du Miao said.

Qiao Mei rolled her eyes and thought to herself, “I think you’re really a fool! If it’s meant for my family, then why will I give it to others?”
