Chapter 1730 You Reap What You Sow

He Ning was not a fool. He was not going to let Tan Jing be the wife of the police chief for nothing. Huang Quan was indeed his subordinate, but this man was also a two-faced person. At work, he earned praises for being capable, but at home, he was like a demon. It was not without reason that all his wives died young.

Huang Quan was a violent man and took pleasure in torturing his wives. All his previous wives had either committed suicide or died from the torture. Tan Jing's end would only be as tragic as theirs, or maybe even worse.

He Ning felt that since he had helped the Xia family settle such a big troublemaker, Qiao Mei would definitely feel thankful towards him! He decided to go to Qiao Mei's house soon and tell her the good news. Everything he was doing now was to ensure that when He Mei gave birth to Xia Zhe's child, Qiao Mei would be willing to come to his house to be his chef.

"Listen up. From today onwards, this woman is not allowed to step foot in here again. If I find her barging in again, your heads will roll," He Ning said sternly to his subordinates.

"Yes!" his men shouted in unison.

Qiao Mei silently retracted the vines. She had seen and heard everything. She had never dreamt that Tan Jing would use the Xia family's secrets to defect to the Xia family's enemies. She did not have any strong feelings about it and only felt a sense of pity for Xia Wen. Tan Jing had never felt Xia Wen's deep affection and all the efforts he had put in for her.

However, it was also a good thing. Now that Tan Jing had left the Xia family and Xia Wen was about to get married to Mo Zhu, Xia Wen's future could only get better and brighter. In the future, there was Mo Zhu to take care of Xia Wen and support him.

Xia Zhe returned with a dark expression. He sat in the front passenger seat and said to Qiao Mei in a low voice, "Let's drive off."

Qiao Mei drove for a long time and only stopped when they were far away from the He family's territory. She looked at Xia Zhe and asked, "What did you hear?"

"She wants to marry He Ning, but He Ning doesn't agree," Xia Zhe said in disgust.

Qiao Mei pretended not to know anything. She looked at Xia Zhe in shock and said, "What! Why would she do this? Anyway, based on all my dealings with He Ning, he won't do anything that doesn't benefit him."

"That's why she wants to use the Xia family's secrets to exchange for wealth and glory with He Ning," Xia Zhe continued.

"Secrets? Does she really know any?" Qiao Mei asked.

Even Qiao Mei did not know anything about the Xia family's secrets. Could it be that Tan Jing was more capable than her?

Xia Zhe had always told Qiao Mei everything he knew. Qiao Mei was not particularly interested in the Xia family's secrets, so she did not ask Xia Zhe about these things.

"Eldest Brother knows his limits. He definitely won't tell Tan Jing about the family's issues. I think Tan Jing is just bluffing He Ning. However, her good days are coming to an end. She's going to marry Huang Quan," Xia Zhe said.

Qiao Mei had been paying attention to the movements of the various major factions in the capital and naturally knew about Huang Quan's background. This Huang Quan was one of He Ning's lackeys, but He Ning was about to drop him. Huang Quan acted ostentatiously and always used the He family's name to do things that harmed other people. He Ning had been aware of it for a long time, but it was just not the right time to get rid of him yet.

"It's none of our business. She has chosen this path herself. There's nothing we can do to save her. Besides, when she wants to use our family's benefits to exchange for her future, she should have known that it will not end well," Qiao Mei said calmly.

Xia Zhe nodded. The two of them went to the mall and bought many new clothes for the two children. Then, they also bought a new sewing machine and a solid wooden cabinet, as well as the latest freezer. They would move all these things to the military family compound when they returned.

They had already spent quite a long time in the capital. Qiao Mei knew that Xia Zhe was hiding something from her, so she decided to return to the military family compound two days before the original planned date. All the things she bought previously had already been delivered. Before she left, she had even ordered a few fruit trees from the nursery and these had been all delivered too. Xia Zhe had help from the guards from the main gate to carry everything into the house. Everyone came out to watch the commotion, including Miao Le.

"Sister, didn't you say you'd be gone for 10 days? Why are you back so early?" Liu Yun asked curiously.

During the past few days, it was Liu Yun who had been helping Qiao Mei take care of the vegetables and fruits in the courtyard. The livestock and pigs in the backyard were well fed and the pigsty was very clean. It was obvious that Liu Yun had put in a lot of effort during this period of time.
