Chapter 955: 952 An Ulterior Motive

952 An Ulterior Motive

“No, it’s one million dollars,” Qiao Mei said casually.

Thank you readers!

Li Gui and Xia He stood rooted to the ground in shock and did not dare to move. Li Gui’s happy smile gradually froze on her face.

“How much? One million… How much is one million… 100 times 10,000… Oh my goodness, he owes you so much money…” Li Gui was completely dumbfounded.

It was not just Li Gui who was flabbergasted. Xia He also could not believe what Qiao Mei just said. Even the Xia family would need to take a long time to save up 10,000 dollars. Their family expenses were very high and they spent a lot of money on their relatives and friends as well. They could not manage to save much money at all throughout the year.

Before the children got married, they handed over their salaries to Xu Lan for safekeeping. Now that they had their own families, it was no longer possible for them to hand over all their money to Xu Lan. It was not easy for Xu Lan and Xia Mao to maintain such a big house with just her retirement pension and his salary.

!!

It would probably take all of them more than 60 years to save up an amount of one million dollars. No matter how rich the He family was, it should not be impossible for them to repay so much money quickly. Not long ago, the Xia family had worked with Jiang Jin to reopen the old case and even caused the He family to lose a lot of money!

“Qiao Mei, did you remember wrongly? Are you sure it’s not something like 100,000 dollars?” Xia He asked suspiciously.

“It’s really one million dollars, and there’s still another amount of tens of thousands that he hasn’t returned to me. I can’t even remember the exact amount. He agreed to buy three 100-year-old ginsengs from me and I’ve already dug them up for him. All that’s left is for him to bring the money to collect the goods. I haven’t even received the entire amount for the first one. I don’t feel like selling him the other two,” Qiao Mei said.

Li Gui and Xia He did not know what to say. They had rarely even seen 10,000 dollars in their lives and it was only because of Qiao Mei that they saw so much money.

Xia He felt that the truckload of money and food stamps which He Ning sent over back then was already a lot.

It was likely that even the people from the bank had never had to handle such a large sum of deposit at once. It took all the staff in the bank an entire morning to count all the funds.

Previously, when Qiao Mei went to the bank to rent a safe, Xia He had gone with her. The bank staff were all very shocked by how Qiao Mei had so much money. The main thing was not about the money, but the fact that she did not choose to deposit such a huge amount of money into the bank to get interest, but chose to put everything in the safe. It was really puzzling for them.

Xia He already felt that it was a huge expense for Qiao Mei to pay the bank 2,000 dollars a year to rent the safe. She did not expect that the bank would eventually have to pay Qiao Mei at least this amount in monthly interest in the future!

It was simply too infuriating.

“Then… then we must get the money…” Li Gui said.

“Don’t worry, he won’t do anything to me. Is’t his intent just to come over here and eat?” Qiao Mei said.

The He family was a successful family and could have anything they wanted. Why would he take a fancy to Qiao Mei’s cooking? His motive was probably not that simple.

Xia He looked out of the door meaningfully and recalled He Ning’s every move after he entered the house just now. Even when she and Li Gui questioned He Ning together, He Ning’s eyes remained fixed on Qiao Mei. Could it be that he had taken a fancy to Qiao Mei?

Everyone said that He Ning was a very eligible bachelor with both money and good looks. Most importantly, he did not have long to live. Once He Ning died, the He family’s assets would naturally fall into the hands of He Ning’s wife. Many young ladies from wealthy families tried their best to get a chance to marry He Ning. Some families had even arranged for 16-year-old girls to go on blind dates with He Ning, but they were all rejected by He Ning.

Later on, He Ning himself spread the news that he was unwell and did not want to get married. Gradually, most people stopped their wishful thinking, but not everyone knew when to stop. There was a person who did not believe it and insisted on taking care of He Ning, firmly believing that as long as she took care of He Ning day after day, He Ning would develop feelings for her over time.

In the end, He Ning suffered food poisoning from eating the food made by that young lady and was sent to the hospital. He was almost “murdered”. If not for the fact that the young lady’s father gave He Ning a lot of shares in his company, his precious daughter would probably have to spend the rest of her life in prison.

Xia He made up her mind to keep a close eye on Qiao Mei and not let any man get close to her. She must protect her sister-in-law well.

Other than Qiao Mei, she would not acknowledge anyone else as Xia Zhe’s wife!
