Chapter 452: I Want Proof

“Mei Mei, do you think what she said is reliable?” Xia He walked into the house and asked Qiao Mei worriedly.

Qiao Mei smiled indifferently and said, “It doesn’t matter if it’s real or fake. Elder sister, don’t think about it anymore. Let’s eat. Why hasn’t Second Aunt-in-law come out of the kitchen after so long?”

Since Qian’e arrived, Liu Fen had been very quiet in the kitchen. There were only the three of them having dinner at home, so there was no need for her to prepare too much food. They wondered why she had not come out yet.

Qiao Mei and Xia He made their way to the kitchen quietly. When they opened the door, they saw Liu Fen sitting on a chair and leaning against the wall, fast asleep. Her brows were furrowed and it was clearly restless sleep. She was still holding on to the spatula tightly.

The two of them looked at each other and smiled. They knew that Second Aunt-in-law was very timid, but they did not expect her to have been so frightened.

Xia He went forward and nudged Liu Fen gently. “Second Aunt-in-law… Second Aunt-in-law, wake up! Wake up!”

Liu Fen woke up in a fright and hurriedly raised the metal spatula and pointed it at Xia He. She opened her eyes wide and stared hard. When she saw that it was Xia He and Qiao Mei in front of her, she relaxed.

“You wretched girl! You scared me half to death! I thought some bad guy had come!” Liu Fen said as she patted her chest.

“Come, Second Aunt-in-law. Let’s eat. She has already left.” Xia He helped Liu Fen up and led her to the living room to take a rest. Her shoulders must be so sore after sleeping in the kitchen for so long.

The three of them quickly finished their meal and cleaned up before returning to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, Xia He woke up very early. She did not sleep well the entire night and felt flustered whenever she thought about what Qian’e had said. However, Qiao Mei was as calm and composed as if nothing had happened.

Xia He sat in the living room in a daze with dark circles under her eyes. She was very fidgety and only looked forward to the afternoon so that she could know what He Mei was up to. Only then would they be able to find a way to deal with it.

Qiao Mei got up lazily from the bed and walked downstairs with her hair in a messy bun. At this hour, Liu Fen would be out grocery shopping and it would be a long time before she got back.

“Elder sister, why are you up so early? What’s with the dark eye circles? Did someone hit you last night? They look really bad.” Qiao Mei yawned and slowly walked down the stairs.

“How are you still able to sleep! That He Mei wants to harm you!” Xia He said anxiously.

Qiao Mei shrugged and said, “Don’t be afraid. It’s not as if she’s going to harm me today. Besides, we have someone tipping us off. Elder sister, don’t worry.”

“Then shouldn’t we at least let Xiao Zhe and elder brother know about this matter, so that they can help us think of a countermeasure,” Xia He asked.

Qiao Mei shook her head. She did not need Xia Zhe’s help to deal with such a small matter. Recently, He Ning had managed to find many people to help him. Now, the men of the Xia family were all busy trying to get He Ning convicted to ensure that it would not be possible for him to make a comeback.

“No need for that. We’ll talk about it when the time comes. He Mei has not taken any action yet. Elder sister, don’t think about it anymore. We’ll find out more in a while,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He had no choice but to do her best to protect Qiao Mei for the moment. She intended to secretly tell Xia Zhe about this later.

Just after noon, the Xia family’s phone rang.

Qiao Mei walked over to pick up the phone and said, “Hello?”

“It’s me. I’ve already fixed a time with her to meet at the park. Do you know the secluded spot at the hill behind the park?” Qian’e whispered.

“I know. At that time, I’ll watch you from somewhere nearby,” Qiao Mei said.

“I hope you keep your word. Don’t be a treacherous person when the time comes,” Qian’e said.

“That will depend on your sincerity. You have to find a way to make her leave behind some proof. That way, I’ll feel more at ease,” Qiao Mei said laughingly.

Qian’e had only wanted to go and meet He Mei so that Qiao Mei could hear He Mei’s plan for herself. She intended to be the winning third party when the two women fought it out. She did not expect that Qiao Mei did not intend to get her own hands dirty.

“If I do that, she’ll become suspicious,” Qian’e said as she looked around carefully.

“That will depend on your capability. I can only join forces with you if you get her to leave some proof behind. Otherwise, I won’t do anything to her. If I stay inside the Xia family’s house and don’t come out, what can she do? Don’t worry, she’s the one who’s anxious, not us. As long as you manage to get the proof, we can defeat her,” Qiao Mei said.

Xia He looked at Qiao Mei in admiration. She did not expect Qiao Mei to be so thorough in her plans.
