1174 Sussing the Background
âWhat do you mean by that! Donât tell me that you suspect me! What reason do I have to take something from your Xia family!â Zhong Ye pointed at Xia Wen and said furiously.
âUncle Zhong, what are you saying? Iâm just asking a question. I donât have any other intentions. I also donât know where the things that my family sent to my younger brother have gone. Arenât such matters under your care? Iâm just asking for your help in private. I donât mean anything else,â Xia Wen said politely.
Zhong Ye observed the âsincereâ look in Xia Wenâs eyes and started to believe that Xia Wen might really have mentioned this issue unintentionally. At that time, the act of hiding Xia Zheâs medicinal wine was done secretly in his office. How could anyone know about it?
Moreover, he was surrounded by only the people closest to him and whom he had been trained personally. Even if he was betrayed, it could not be any of those people who did it. They usually took a lot of benefits from him, so if any of them reported him, none of them would be able to get out unscathed.
Xia Wen was just sussing the background. He must not panic and must hold steady regarding this matter.
âThen why didnât you say so earlier? Thereâs no need to test me like this. It wonât be good for our families to be so distant. But donât worry, Iâll definitely find out for you who did it! I definitely wonât let anyone bully your family like this!â Zhong Ye said as he patted his chest.
âThat would be best. So why is Uncle Zhong here then?â Xia Wen asked.
Zhong Ye turned to look at Zhong Wan and said tactfully, âWe hear that Xia Zhe is back, so Iâm here to see him. I havenât seen him since he joined the army unit. Iâm here today to catch up.â
Xia Zhe probably did not even know who Zhong Ye was. In fact, he might not even remember who Zhong Wan was. Xia Zhe never took note of such stuff. He did not even have any memories of Qianâe who had pestered him so incessantly back then. It was Qiao Mei who had found out the truth bit by bit!
Xia Wen pursed his lips resignedly. Most of these things which happened at home were caused by Xia Zheâs rotten romantic luck. Why was it that he did not have so much rotten romantic luck in the past? It was probably because he was not handsome enough, or rather, not as handsome as Xia Zhe.
âMy brother has been working on a case recently and doesnât even have time to come home. After that, heâs returning to the army unit soon. Itâs such a pity that you probably wonât get a chance to meet him,â Xia Wen said regretfully.
Zhong Wan pouted unhappily and said, âThen canât you give him a call and ask him to come back?â
Xia He frowned and said, âThe case that my brother is handling is very important. He doesnât even have time to eat, so how would he have time to come home?â
âThen⊠then weâll come back another day. I hope we can get to meet Xia Zhe next time,â Zhong Ye said hurriedly when he saw that the Xia family members were getting a little angry.
âAlright, then we wonât hold you back.â After saying that, Xu Lan quickly called Luo Yu to come over and asked him to carry out the gifts which the Zhong father-and-daughter duo had brought with them. No one knew where the Zhong family got these items from.
âYou can keep these things. Thereâs no reason for us to take back what we have given away,â Zhong Ye said.
âIs that so? Then I hope you can help me look for the things which our family hasnât given away,â Xu Lan said with a faint smile.
Zhong Ye immediately pulled a long face and left the Xia family residence without looking back. Zhong Wanâs movements were hampered by her heavy gown, but no matter how she called out to Zhong Ye, it was to no avail. She could only lift the hem of her dress herself and walked slowly to the Zhong familyâs car before leaving dejectedly.
Xu Lan and Luo Yu looked at the departing Zhong Ye and laughed mockingly. They then turned around and returned into the house. These people really could not withstand any provocation at all. The Zhong family could not sit still the moment they mentioned this matter.
However, judging from Zhong Yeâs reaction, he probably did not touch the two bottles of medicinal wine and only put them at home like treasure items.
The next thing for them was to wait and see how the Zhong family intended to move these two bottles of medicinal wine. Once the Zhong family took action, it would be the end for them.
Two to three days later, the Xia family announced that Qiao Mei was safe and sound. As Qiao Mei had undergone a C-section, she could not be discharged from the hospital yet. She could only go home when she was almost fully recovered.
âSister Feng~ I want to go home~â Qiao Mei said aggrievedly.
âJust wait a little longer. Itâs not time yet! You already have such difficulty getting off the bed onto the floor, so how can you go home? At least there are doctors in the hospital who can monitor your condition. If you go home, the doctors canât come with you,â Feng Hua said.
