Chapter 473: Unable to Distinguish Colors
“The commotion outside won’t last long. They’re just putting on a show for that old woman. They think that this house belongs to the old woman and they want to get a share of her a.s.sets after she dies,” Qian’e said mockingly.
It was true that this house was registered under Old Master Qian’s name, but after Old Master Qian pa.s.sed away, he had left the house to Qian’e. This was because Qian’e was the only person who accompanied him during the last few months of his life. Qian’e was also his favorite grandchild and he felt that those were the happiest months of his life.
“Then you don’t mind?” Zhao Ni asked.
“No. These things will pa.s.s quickly, won’t they? We just need to endure it until she dies,” Qian’e said.
!!Zhao Ni hid behind and sobbed uncontrollably. She did not understand how such an outstanding and sensible child from back then had become like this.
Perhaps everyone was at fault.
The commotion outside the door quickly quietened down. The Qian family’s second son and his family left. Qian’e also returned to her room to prepare the things she needed for tomorrow.
On the other side, Qiao Mei and Xia He were still sitting at home mixing the colors to make fake blood plasma.
“Mei Mei, this is already the 12th time you’re mixing the color. Why aren’t you satisfied? Is there any difference between this color and the color of blood?” Xia He said as she looked at Qiao Mei helplessly.
“Blood is dark red in color. Yours is too bright and it’s obvious that it’s fake,” Qiao Mei said.
“Aunt is a doctor in the hospital. Can’t she just go and get some real blood? Why go through so much trouble?” Xia He said.
The current level of medical care was still lagging behind. Who knew if the blood would contain any germs or bacteria? If anyone should catch an incurable disease from it, the gains would not make up for the losses. It was better to be careful.
“No, I’ve already troubled Aunt enough. Besides, the blood bank keeps records of the amount of blood they have. What if it was traced back to Aunt?” Qiao Mei found a random reason to brush off the suggestion.
After the two of them tried 23 times, they finally succeeded. Qiao Mei quickly made a large amount of fake blood plasma according to this ratio. The fake bloodstains in the park would definitely be cleaned up by their people. What she needed to do was to spread the fake blood on her legs to make it look more realistic.
“Elder sister, do you think this looks real?” Qiao Mei asked as she dripped a drop of fake blood onto her palm.
“I think it really looks alike. Can you stop torturing me?” Xia He said with a long face.
Xia He held up two gla.s.ses. This one was also red, and the other one was also red. What was so different about them?
She had never heard of those colors that Qiao Mei mentioned, like dark red, cinnabar red or rouge red.
“Elder sister, you must ensure your own safety tomorrow. Don’t get yourself hurt because of me,” Qiao Mei said worriedly.
Xia He looked at Qiao Mei steadfastly and said, “Don’t worry, I’m a strong swimmer. This depth won’t be a problem for me. Don’t worry.”
“Then will brother-in-law be there?” Qiao Mei asked.
Xia Zhe had informed Kong Lu about this matter. After all, Kong Lu was still his elder sister’s husband and it was better for him to be present at such a dangerous moment.
“I don’t know. What can he do when he’s here? Come to watch the fun? He might get scared when he sees me jumping into the water,” Xia He said.
Ever since that day when she and Qiao Mei were misunderstood by Qian’e on the street, she finally realized that Kong Lu was not a reliable person. It was useless even if she gave him endless chances.
Even Xia Zhe knew that he had to protect his wife and children and his family first. Kong Lu only knew to draw a clear line between them and was so worried that family matters would drag him down.
For a person who only cared about himself and not at all about his wife in times of danger, it was useless even if he seemed to have turned over a new leaf. Xia He had waited for him for many years in the past and she had no time for him now.
After Kong Lu went back, he asked around and managed to pool together 1,000 dollars. He took out some money for Kong Li and himself to pay for food and wrapped the rest of the money in a cloth bag. Although he had not managed to gather the amount that Xia He mentioned, he had at least done his best. He would hand over this amount of money to Xia He first and then he would try and pool together the rest of the money later.
Kong Lu arrived at Xia Fang’s house nervously, but he hesitated outside the door for a long time. He did not know how to face Xia He. She must be very disappointed in him after what happened the last time. He was too embarra.s.sed to let her know that he had not managed to raise the full amount of money.
