Chapter 950 - 950 Rather Believe in Ghosts
950 Rather Believe in Ghosts
“What are you doing here! Are you here to hurt my daughter again!” Li Gui rushed to the main door and shouted as she spread out her arms to block the door.
The pa.s.sers-by looked at He Ning suspiciously. He Ning did not know how to explain himself. Why did the Xia and Qiao families think that he was here to harm Qiao Mei? Was this how the Xia and Qiao families treated their guests?
Previously, when they were in the village, Li Gui did not know who He Ning was and even cooked many nice dishes for him. However, after Qiao Mei told her that his name was He Ning, her att.i.tude took a 180-degree turn. He Ning sometimes wondered if there was something wrong with his name for him to be hated by so many people. Perhaps he needed to consider changing his name.
Huo Gao looked at He Ning helplessly every time something like this happened. How could he really not know why everyone despised him!
“I’m here to deliver money to Qiao Mei, not to harm her,” He Ning explained resignedly.
Li Gui still had a doubtful look on her face. Which bad guy would admit that he was a bad guy! He Ning was a scheming person and could lie about anything!
!!She would rather believe that there were ghosts in this world than believe what He Ning said!
“Who knows if you’re telling the truth! Since you’re here to deliver money, then just put it down! We’ll amend the IOU! Then you can leave quickly!” Li Gui said.
He Ning had a whole new level of respect for Li Gui. He did not expect Li Gui to be so knowledgeable. The process she rattled off was clear and correct and she was completely different from the illiterate woman he met previously. Worldly exposure could really bring about a huge change to people.
“The person I owe money to is Qiao Mei. I won’t return the money until I see Qiao Mei in person,” He Ning said.
Li Gui did not hesitate at all and said, “Then you can go back. We don’t lack that bit of money!”
He Ning did not say a word. Why did they behave like rich people now? Did money no longer hold any attraction? Why were the members of this family all so strange?
Xia He quickly walked to Li Gui’s side and said, “Qiao Mei says you can come in with the money. The rest should wait outside the door.”
He Ning readily agreed to Qiao Mei’s request and was even self-aware enough to empty out his pocket and leave his things with his attendant. He did not bring anything else with him.
“Are we going to let him in just like that? No! We can’t let him get close to Qiao Mei!” Li Gui said worriedly.
Xia He held Li Gui back and whispered, “It’s fine. There’s no problem if he’s on his own. Qiao Mei tells us not to worry, so we should choose to believe her.”
Li Gui had no choice but to take a step back to let He Ning in. From the moment He Ning stepped in, Li Gui stared at him the entire time. She held a stick tightly in her hand and did not even dare to blink, worried that Qiao Mei would be harmed if she let her guard down for even one second.
Hence, the scene that Qiao Mei saw was one of He Ning walking at the front righteously while Xia He and Li Gui supervised He Ning from both sides and walked with all kinds of strange postures. Even though they wanted to keep an eye on He Ning in case he wanted to harm her, Li Gui and Xia He were far more eye-catching now!
“How much did you bring?” Qiao Mei asked with a smile.
“Not much. Business is only so-so recently. Here’s 50,000 dollars,” He Ning said as he patted the case.
“I’ll accept this 50,000 dollars. Give me another 100,000 dollars within half a month. Otherwise, I won’t give you another ginseng. I can do business with anyone anyway. If you’re not interested, there are plenty of high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the capital who want my ginseng,” Qiao Mei said confidently.
“There are indeed many people who want your ginseng. However, not everyone can fork out as much money as me. Furthermore, once someone reports you for making a private transaction, what do you think will happen to you?” He Ning narrowed his eyes and said as he looked at Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei was not worried about these things at all. She had so many ginsengs that they were like plain water to her. As long as she gave others a certain amount of benefits, they would help her out whenever she needed.
People’s hearts were driven by benefits. One could only tell if someone was a true friend after going through thick and thin together.
“You don’t have to worry about whether anything will happen to me. However, if you don’t have my ginseng, I’m afraid something will really happen to you,” Qiao Mei said.
