After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

1174 Sussing the Background

“What do you mean by that! Don’t tell me that you suspect me! What reason do I have to take something from your Xia family!” Zhong Ye pointed at Xia Wen and said furiously.

“Uncle Zhong, what are you saying? I’m just asking a question. I don’t have any other intentions. I also don’t know where the things that my family sent to my younger brother have gone. Aren’t such matters under your care? I’m just asking for your help in private. I don’t mean anything else,” Xia Wen said politely.

Zhong Ye observed the “sincere” look in Xia Wen’s eyes and started to believe that Xia Wen might really have mentioned this issue unintentionally. At that time, the act of hiding Xia Zhe’s 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.

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier? There’s no need to test me like this. It won’t be good for our families to be so distant. But don’t worry, I’ll definitely find out for you who did it! I definitely won’t let anyone bully your family like this!” Zhong Ye said as he patted his chest.

“That would be best. So why is Uncle Zhong here then?” Xia Wen asked.

Zhong Ye turned to look at Zhong Wan and said tactfully, “We hear that Xia Zhe is back, so I’m here to see him. I haven’t seen him since he joined the army unit. I’m here today to catch up.”

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 Qian’e 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 Zhe’s 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.

“My brother has been working on a case recently and doesn’t even have time to come home. After that, he’s returning to the army unit soon. It’s such a pity that you probably won’t get a chance to meet him,” Xia Wen said regretfully.

Zhong Wan pouted unhappily and said, “Then can’t you give him a call and ask him to come back?”

Xia He frowned and said, “The case that my brother is handling is very important. He doesn’t even have time to eat, so how would he have time to come home?”

“Then… then we’ll come back another day. I hope we can get to meet Xia Zhe next time,” Zhong Ye said hurriedly when he saw that the Xia family members were getting a little angry.

“Alright, then we won’t hold you back.” 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.

“You can keep these things. There’s no reason for us to take back what we have given away,” Zhong Ye said.

“Is that so? Then I hope you can help me look for the things which our family hasn’t given away,” Xu Lan said with a faint smile.

Zhong Ye immediately pulled a long face and left the Xia family residence without looking back. Zhong Wan’s 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 family’s 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 Ye’s 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.

“Sister Feng~ I want to go home~” Qiao Mei said aggrievedly.

“Just wait a little longer. It’s 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 can’t come with you,” Feng Hua said.
