624 Giving It Away

However, the He family’s 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.

“It’s 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?” 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 Mei’s 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 Ning’s 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.

Qian’e 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 Qian’e out. Now that Qian’e was under the Xia family’s care, he could not act rashly.

It would be useless to threaten Qian’e with the safety of her family. Qian’e 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!

“Little Uncle! You can’t leave me in the lurch! If I’m taken away by them, I definitely won’t have a good ending! Please save me! I’ll give you all my family’s assets! We don’t want them anymore! Little Uncle, save me!” He Mei said nonsensically.

He Ning looked at He Mei and smiled. Although a small portion of the He family’s 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?

“What use do I have for your family’s assets? You probably don’t know yet, but eldest brother has been sentenced. He will be imprisoned for 10 years and all his assets will be confiscated. You’re no longer the spoiled young lady of the He family,” 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, “Little Uncle, are you joking with me! It’s not true! Didn’t you promise me that my father won’t go to jail! Why is it like this!”

“The Xia family is relentless. Do you think I have any choice? If you hadn’t laid your hands on Qiao Mei, the Xia family wouldn’t have fallen out with us!” He Ning said as he shook off He Mei.

“No! It’s not like that!” He Mei cried.

“This 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!” 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.

“Little Uncle, I know you’re very capable. You must have a way! Think of a way to save me! You watched me grow up! You can’t not save me!” 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.

“Stop it, you’re giving me a headache. Get lost! Don’t bother me!” 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.

“Did you change the prescription?” He Ning asked unhappily.

“Bear with it for a while. You’ve been too tired recently so I added some tonic in it. Since you don’t cherish your body, your taste buds will have to suffer,” 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.
