“Don’t talk nonsense! This child clearly resembles Huang Quan more!” Tan Jing said in exasperation.

“Is that so? Then maybe I can’t really tell. However, you’ve given birth to a really cute child. After so many years, your wish has finally come true. My eldest sister-in-law is about to give birth too. I wonder if it’s going to be a boy or a girl,” Xia He said with a smile.

Every word hit Tan Jing like a punch. When she was pregnant, she caused the entire capital to be in an uproar about Xia Wen being infertile. In the end, MO Zhu became pregnant with Xia Wen’s child less than two years after she married into the Xia family. There was an about-turn in the situation and everyone laughed at Tan Jing for being the lousy one.

After that, Tan Jing remembered that she had drunk the medicinal wine given by Qiao Mei. At that time, she had not divorced Xia Wen yet. If she had waited another six months, she might have become pregnant with Xia Wen’s child!

Then, she would still be able to enjoy the perks of being part of the Xia family.

It was all Qiao Mei’s fault! Qiao Mei must have known that the medicinal wine could cure her infertility, but Qiao Mei did not tell her, so she was not aware of this when she divorced Xia Wen. Qiao Mei did it on purpose! Qiao Mei wanted her to divorce Xia Wen and get tortured by others!

However, the person she hated the most was not Qiao Mei, but He Ning. If He Ning had not introduced Huang Quan to her, she would not be living a life worse than an animal.

“Oh! Do your siblings go to the Huang family’s house for dinner? I remember that your siblings used to like to come to our house all the time. They would come and stay for a few days each time. Sometimes they even stay for a week! They would refuse to go home unless they could get some benefits,” Xia He said.

“They don’t come around anymore,” Tan Jing said through gritted teeth.

In the beginning, the Tan brothers had indeed gone to the Huang family’s house to cause trouble and ask for money. However, Huang Quan was not someone to be trifled with. He beat up all the Tan family members and chased them out of his house. Anyone who came to the Huang familys house to extort things could forget about going home in one piece.

The Tan family members were all very craven and cowardly, but this did not mean that they stopped being greedy. After that incident, they continued to pester Tan Jing, wanting to get some benefits from the Huang family through her. At first, she would still do as her family members asked, but later on, Huang Quan discovered what she was doing.

Huang Quan locked her up in the room and beat her up for two days straight, almost beating her to death. After that, she did not dare to disobey Huang Quan anymore.

“Is that so? Then are your in-laws nice to you? Are they nice to your child?” Xia He said as if she was really concerned.

Tan Jing roared furiously at Xia He, “What does my life have to do with you! Don’t pretend to care about me!”

“Of course it has something to do with me!” Xia He lowered her head and whispered to Tan Jing in a tone which only the two of them could hear, “The worse your life is, the happier I am. You have to continue working hard to make me happier!’

“You! You b*tch!” Tan Jing scolded loudly.

“I’m just concerned about you. How can you say that about me?” Xia He said as she pretended to be sad.

Qiao Mei immediately said to Huang Quan, “I’m really sorry. My elder sister is just concerned about her former sister-in-law. I didn’t expect your wife to get so angry.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine!” After saying that, Huang Quan turned around and glared at Tan Jing, saying, “Behave yourself!”

Xia He had heard rumors that although the Huang family would always organize a gathering for their relatives during the new year, Tan Jing had never made an appearance at any of the banquets. This year, Tan Jing was finally allowed to meet the other relatives during the new year. She only got the chance because she used her child as an excuse and begged her parents-in-law for it. They gave in to her only on account of the child.

After exchanging pleasantries for so long, Qiao Mei had already lost her patience. She looked at Huang Quan and asked, “Are my machines with you?”

“Haha, what machines? Why don’t I know anything about this?” Huang Quan said as he played dumb.

“Those things of mine are worth a lot of money. If I call the police and ask them to deal with it, the thief might even get the death penalty,” Qiao Mei threatened.

“Call the police? Then the police will have to accept the case first,” Huang Quan said nonchalantly.

Huang Quan only used unrelated parties when he did such illegal things. He would not be stupid enough to ask his own people to do this. That would be like leaving a clue for the Xia family, would it not?

Even if the Xia family wanted to pursue the matter, they would not be able to trace it back to him. In the end, the machines would still be in his possession but someone else would pay for the crime. It was a win-win situation for him.

“Is that so? It’s alright, I’ll just treat it as if I’m feeding scraps to stray dogs. I hope you can swallow this piece of fat meat whole. Be careful not to choke to death.” After saying that, Qiao Mei waved her hand and left with Xia He..
