624 Giving It Away
However, the He familyâs good days were coming to an end.
He Mei knelt on the ground and begged He Ning not to let her go to jail or hand her over to the Xia family. She had nowhere to go now.
âItâs useless even if you beg me now. The Xia family has conclusive evidence. What right do you have to decide to do such a thing at that time?â He Ning said helplessly.
Even though he planned everything meticulously, this stupid niece of his had caused him to lose everything!
She only knew how to keep causing trouble for him! Now that He Meiâs face was injured, there was no chance of her sending her off for a marriage alliance! Keeping He Mei would just be keeping a useless thing.
After the Xia family secretly sent Qiao Mei away, they started to make use of the situation to cause trouble for He Ning. They did everything they could to tire He Ning out.
Originally, He Guo, He Wei and He Li had already been released under He Ningâs arrangements. He did not expect them to be sent back to prison by the joint efforts of the Xia and Jiang families after only being out for a few days. He Guo had already been sentenced and there was nothing he could do about it. At the moment, he could only think of a way to save He Wei and He Li.
Qianâe was not able to leave the Qian family house under his surveillance. He did not expect the Xia family to find a way to get Qianâe out. Now that Qianâe was under the Xia familyâs care, he could not act rashly.
It would be useless to threaten Qianâe with the safety of her family. Qianâe was more than happy to see them dead! Why would she even want to save them?
He Ning had been vexed about this matter for a long time. He felt that his long stint in prison had made his mind go dim. He had actually let the Xia family succeed. In the future, he must not show any mercy to them, otherwise he would be letting down the hardships he suffered over the past month.
Recently, He Ning had been so busy that he could only sleep four to five hours a day. He was able to hang on only because of the ginseng soup, otherwise his body would have broken down long ago!
The Xia family had now threatened that if he did not hand He Mei over, they would use the evidence to destroy the He family!
âLittle Uncle! You canât leave me in the lurch! If Iâm taken away by them, I definitely wonât have a good ending! Please save me! Iâll give you all my familyâs assets! We donât want them anymore! Little Uncle, save me!â He Mei said nonsensically.
He Ning looked at He Mei and smiled. Although a small portion of the He familyâs business was from their ancestors, most of it was the empire that He Guo had worked hard to build.
He Mei was really generous to give it away just for her own selfish reasons.
If He Guo could come back from prison and hear what He Mei said, would he die from anger?
âWhat use do I have for your familyâs assets? You probably donât know yet, but eldest brother has been sentenced. He will be imprisoned for 10 years and all his assets will be confiscated. Youâre no longer the spoiled young lady of the He family,â He Ning said.
He Mei widened her eyes in disbelief. She crawled over to He Ning and grabbed the corner of his trousers tightly as she asked, âLittle Uncle, are you joking with me! Itâs not true! Didnât you promise me that my father wonât go to jail! Why is it like this!â
âThe Xia family is relentless. Do you think I have any choice? If you hadnât laid your hands on Qiao Mei, the Xia family wouldnât have fallen out with us!â He Ning said as he shook off He Mei.
âNo! Itâs not like that!â He Mei cried.
âThis is all thanks to you! How dare you cry in front of me! You still have family members locked up inside! Are you satisfied now!â He Ning roared.
It was not that he did not think of a way. He even took out a lot of his treasures to ask for help, but the Xia family had irrefutable evidence and they even made it known that anyone who helped the He family hide anything would get dragged down together.
No one dared to act rashly now. If they were not careful, they would die together with the He family.
âLittle Uncle, I know youâre very capable. You must have a way! Think of a way to save me! You watched me grow up! You canât not save me!â He Mei said as she sobbed.
It was not that there was no solution, but he did not know if the Xia family would be willing to accept it.
âStop it, youâre giving me a headache. Get lost! Donât bother me!â He Ning said as he rubbed his temples and leaned against the sofa with a frown.
He Mei kowtowed to He Ning a few more times and left the house quietly.
Huo Gao slowly walked forward with a bowl of medicine. The medicinal smell could be detected from afar and it felt as if it was very bitter.
âDid you change the prescription?â He Ning asked unhappily.
âBear with it for a while. Youâve been too tired recently so I added some tonic in it. Since you donât cherish your body, your taste buds will have to suffer,â Huo Gao said teasingly.
He Ning did not quibble anymore. He gritted his teeth and drank the medicine in one gulp. It was so bitter that he almost vomited.
