993 Not Xia Zhe’s Children

Jail? Why would they go to jail? Could it be that Qiao Mei had gathered evidence about the Tan family’s wrongdoings? She stayed at home every day and did not go out. How would she know anything about the Tan family’s affairs?

For many years, the Tan family had always been modest people. At most, they would take advantage of other people when it came to small things, but they would not dare to steal from others. However, since Tan Jing married Xia Wen, they had gradually become more impudent. They thought that as long as they proclaimed themselves to be part of the Xia family, everyone would have to be nice to them.

As the old saying went, the water that could bear the boat was the same that could swallow it up. They only managed to harm themselves with this grand entitlement.

“Are you trying to scare me! Everyone in my family is innocent! There are no criminals! Don’t spout nonsense or I’ll sue you for defamation and slandering my entire family!” Tan Jing shouted angrily.

Qiao Mei looked at Tan Jing’s face and spoke slowly, “Isn’t your second brother having an ambiguous relationship with a married woman outside? There’s no need to talk further about your third brother, he’s still gambling. Your fourth brother is an honest low-ranking official in the government, but he took the hard-earned money of the common people to indulge in debauchery. You don’t know about this, right? I won’t say anything about your little sister. She’s a woman after all, so I won’t make things difficult for her.”

Every sentence was like a sharp blade at Tan Jing’s throat. This was her first time hearing about all these things today. If not for Qiao Mei, Tan Jing might still be kept in the dark.

Xia He widened her eyes and stared at Qiao Mei. Could Qiao Mei be some “deity”? She seemed to know everything in the world after taking a nap.

“Qiao Mei… how did you know?” Xia He whispered agitatedly into Qiao Mei’s ear.

“I’ll tell you later,” Qiao Mei said.

Tan Jing lay on the ground for a long time, unable to come back to her senses. Xia He went out to ask Zhang Wei to go to the public phone at the entrance of the alley to call Xia Wen and ask him to come and pick Tan Jing up. She was not going to let Tan Jing leave unscathed.

“I don’t believe what you said. You accuse my family of doing things that I’ve never even heard about! No way! Qiao Mei, you’re such a vicious woman! Xia He, look at who you’re helping! Don’t be blinded just because of the babies! Who knows if these babies are really Xia Zhe’s children!” Tan Jing shouted as she pointed at Qiao Mei.

This time round, there was no need for Xia He to step forward to deal with Tan Jing. Qiao Mei gave Tan Jing a hard kick and the gentleness in her eyes was completely gone. Tan Jing slammed hard into a pillar in the room and it felt as if the entire room shook twice. Tan Jing lay on the ground motionlessly like a corpse.

“Xia Zhe knows very well whether they’re his children or not,” Qiao Mei said coldly.

Xia Wen hurriedly rushed over from his workplace. When he entered and saw Tan Jing lying on the ground, his heart ached for her. However, he still understood the situation. If Tan Jing had not wanted to attack Qiao Mei, they would not have treated Tan Jing like this. Tan Jing deserved what she got.

“Eldest brother, this matter has got nothing to do with Qiao Mei. I was the one who beat her up. If you’re angry, just come at me,” Xia He said as she stood up.

Xia Wen looked at Xia He’s swollen cheek and already roughly knew what had happened. He just thought that Tan Jing was trying to split hairs and could not figure out some things. However, he did not expect Tan Jing to take the initiative to provoke Qiao Mei and even wanted to hurt Qiao Mei.

He had let down Xia Zhe and his parents and even more so, he was unable to face Qiao Mei. The old senior Qiao was his family’s great benefactor, but his wife had almost threatened Qiao Mei’s life and ruined Qiao Mei’s peaceful life in the capital. Everyone said that it was Qiao Mei’s great fortune to have married Xia Zhe. In fact, it was the Xia family’s good fortune to have a daughter-in-law like Qiao Mei. They had really let the Qiao family down.

“Qiao Mei… This whole thing is my fault. I’ll go back and teach her a lesson now. I’ll come and apologize to you after I’m done,” Xia Wen said guiltily.

“Eldest brother, we’re all family, but if we continue to indulge the Tan family, things won’t be as simple as what happened today,” Qiao Mei said sternly.

Xia Wen understood what Qiao Mei meant and nodded silently before turning around to carry Tan Jing home.
