When she saw Qian’e walk out of the bathroom, Xia He became more vigilant and stood in front of Qiao Mei to prevent Qian’e from getting close to her.

Qian’e felt a little sad when she saw the way Xia He protected Qiao Mei. When they were young, Xia He had also protected her like this once, but now it was someone else.

Qian’e laughed self-deprecatingly and said, “Elder sister Xiao He, there’s no need to be so guarded against me. I’m here to talk about something, not to fight.”

Xia He looked at Qian’e doubtfully. However, Qian’e did indeed look much better than earlier.

“Sit down and talk,” Qiao Mei said.

Qian’e sat opposite Qiao Mei and crossed her legs as she looked at her surroundings. The house was very clean and there was the fragrance of food coming from the kitchen.

If Qiao Mei had not appeared, then all these might have been hers.

“No, you’re thinking too much.” Qiao Mei looked at Qian’e coldly.

Qian’e was stunned for a moment before she laughed loudly and said, “You can actually read my mind? How interesting. As expected of someone who defeated the He family.”

Seeing that Qian’e seemed about to go crazy again, Xia He became nervous again. Now that she was the only one in the family who could protect Qiao Mei, she had to be vigilant at all times.

“Don’t tell me you come here just to take a look,” Qiao Mei asked.

Qian’e shook her head and said, “Of course not. It’s because He Mei told me something that I thought would interest you.”

She did hate Qiao Mei for marrying Xia Zhe and becoming a member of the Xia family, but in comparison, she hated He Mei even more. If not for He Mei setting her up and making her suffer every step of the way, she would not have ended up in this sorry state.

It was all thanks to He Mei that she became like this today!

Now that the He family had fallen from grace, she felt extremely happy and just short of buying fireworks to celebrate.

“What does the He family’s issues have to do with our Xia family?” Qiao Mei asked Qian’e casually.

Xia He could not help but cover her face and laugh. Qiao Mei’s attitude was becoming more and more like that of a member of the Xia family. She was almost on par with Xia Wen.

“What if I tell you that He Mei wants to harm you?” Qian’e said.

“Harm me? Do I have any enmity with her? What reason does she have to harm me?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“Just the fact that you’re Xia Zhe’s wife is enough to make He Mei want to kill you. Now that the He family’s status is unstable, if she can have some form of relationship with Xia Zhe, won’t it be easy for the He family to rise from the dead? After all, the Xia family would not want their daughter-in-law’s family to be guilty of a crime,” Qian’e said.

Xia He slammed the table angrily and scolded, “The He family is really a nest of snakes and rats. I never expected He Mei to have such an idea!”

Qiao Mei was not that shocked. After all, the He family had been targeting her for a long time. Even if He Ning went to jail, as long as they still had people outside, they would continue to cause trouble for the Xia family.

Qiao Mei picked up the teacup from the coffee table and took a sip. “So? What do you want me to do?”

Qian’e was a little surprised. She did not expect Qiao Mei to really be able to read her mind. She had thought that this was just a country bumpkin who relied on Xia Zhe and some luck to bring down the He family. She did not expect Qiao Mei to be such a shrewd person.

“…I hope you can help me get rid of He Mei so that the He family won’t have a chance to make a comeback!” Qian’e said.

Qiao Mei only knew what Qian’e had experienced, but she did not know what kind of grudge Qian’e had with He Mei. She had no reason to trust a person who spoke like a lunatic.

“What’s your relationship with He Mei?” Qiao Mei asked curiously.

“We were classmates,” Qian’e said frankly.

Many people knew about this and she had no intention of hiding it.

“I don’t believe you. You were at loggerheads with me not long ago. I don’t believe that you want to join forces with me now. Besides, you’ve known He Mei for so long. What if you’re the person He Mei sent to harm me?” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

Xia He stared fixedly at Qian’e, not daring to look away even an inch. It seemed that she must give Xiao Zhe a good scolding when he returned! He had incurred so many romantic debts! He even caused Qiao Mei to have to deal with these matters!

She must also tell her grandfather and father about it so that they could teach Xia Zhe a lesson!
