Chapter 467: Coming Home So Late

“Although I’m helping you out in this matter, I still have to be responsible for all your safety. We have to tell Xiao Zhe about this and let him know. I also want him to arrange for a few people to act as kidnappers. It’s more reasonable than Qian’e going to kidnap Qiao Mei alone,” Xia Fang said.

The moment she heard Xia Zhe’s name, Qiao Mei felt a chill down her spine. She did not dare to tell Xia Zhe about it herself. Xia He had also asked her earlier what she would do if Xia Zhe found out.

At that time, she had even said confidently that Xia Zhe would forgive her as long as she acted cute. Now, it seemed that she was also just lying to herself.

Now that it had come to a point to tell Xia Zhe about it, she ended up being the first one to beat a retreat.

“Why… why don’t we not tell Xia Zhe about this? If not, before He Mei can harm me, Xia Zhe will cut me open first,” Qiao Mei said fearfully.

Everyone laughed loudly. Xia He laughed most happily as she pointed at Qiao Mei and said, “You little girl, what did you tell me back then? Why are you so afraid now?”

“I! Oh my… elder sister, don’t laugh at me…” Qiao Mei said as she lowered her head.

“By the way, Qian’e, I remember that you have a relative in the transportation business. He must know where there are warehouses in the capital,” Xia Fang said as she looked at Qian’e.

Three pairs of eyes stared at Qian’e in unison.

“My family members are unreliable. It would not be that bad if I really intend to kidnap Qiao Mei, but it’s all a lie now. When the He family investigates the details, everything will become exposed. Moreover, my family members… They haven’t been nice to me all these years and they all say that I’m a jinx…” Qian’e said awkwardly.

“Let’s think about this tomorrow. It’s already dark. Qian’e, go back quickly. Otherwise, your mother will come out to look for you,” Xia Fang said as she looked at the time.

Qian’e nodded. There was nothing she could do at the moment even if she racked her brains. She decided to go home and think about it carefully.

Seeing that there were not many people in the neighborhood, Qian’e hurriedly ran back to her house. As soon as she opened the door, she saw a big metal tea jar flying towards her, still with some tea leaves and hot water inside.

“You jinx, where did you go! You’re back so late! Do you intend to starve me to death! I don’t know where that unlucky mother of yours went. You two must be doing this on purpose!” Old Madam Qian sat on the sofa and scolded as she looked in the direction of the door.

Qian Wang was usually not at home. There was a daybed in the hospital office and he often rested there. He also depended on the canteen at the hospital for his meals and he would only come back once a week to get a change of clothes.

Zhao Ni was the one who took care of everything at home. She took care of Old Madam Qian’s daily needs and she was often scolded and beaten up. However, she still served Old Madam Qian diligently for the sake of Qian’e.

“Where’s my mother?” Qian’e asked as she looked around the house.

Usually, Zhao Ni would not be out at this hour. She must have been delayed by something, otherwise Old Madam Qian must have done something to chase her away.

“Hmph, that b*tch actually talked back to me when she came back today. I only said a few words to her and then she ran off. She hasn’t returned yet. Why do you care about her! Hurry up and make dinner for me!” Old Madam Qian said.

It was just as Qian’e expected. She knew that Zhao Ni would not suddenly be away from home.

However, Zhao Ni was already an adult and did not need Qian’e to worry about her. She would come back by herself in the middle of the night, when Old Madam Qian was asleep.

Qian’e went silently into the kitchen to make some noodles for Old Madam Qian. She did not know how to make anything else.

“That b*tch mother of yours gives birth to you just to cause trouble for our Qian family!”

“What sins has our Qian family committed! That b*tch is so disappointing. She only gave birth to a girl like you. What’s the use of having a girl!”

“She’s trying to destroy the lineage of our Qian family! It’s all your fault, you disappointing thing!”

“…”

Qian’e had long gotten tired of hearing these words. Usually, Old Madam Qian said things that were much worse. Qian’e wondered if her life would be much better if Zhao Ni had not insisted on marrying Qian Wang and then giving birth to her. She would not need to be at the mercy of others and be reviled every day.

“You little b*tch, are you done yet! I’m about to starve to death! Hurry up and get me something to eat!” Old Madam Qian picked up the cup beside her and threw it towards the kitchen.

The cup shattered when it hit the kitchen door. Qian’e looked at the glass shards all over the floor and wished she could pick one up and kill this old woman.
