After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!



"Nothing much, she's still alive and well. You're such a lucky man. The birthmark on your wife's shoulder is really beautiful. Her skin is so smooth that she doesn't look like a person who's almost 40! The guys all want to marry a woman like this!" Lu Miao said gleefully.

Xia Wen wished he could rip out the bones and tendons of the person on the other end of the phone. He gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly have you done to her? If she's even slightly harmed, I won't let you off."

"Don't worry, we haven't had enough fun yet! Of course we won't let her get hurt. But if you want to see her in one piece, then prepare 500,000 dollars quickly. I only have enough patience for one day, until tomorrow. The day after tomorrow, we'll do the exchange. You pay the money, you'll get the human. I'll contact you again about the exact timing." After saying that, Lu Miao hurriedly hung up the phone.

Xia Wen immediately asked his secretary to investigate where this person was calling from. They found out that the phone call seemed to have been made from a phone booth by the roadside. No one could remember what this man looked like. Even after asking everyone in the vicinity, no one could recall whether any man had made a phone call from there. Xia Wen was stuck in a passive position now, so he could only wait for Lu Miao to contact him again.

The only breakthrough he could get was the phone call he was going to receive the day after tomorrow. However, Qiao Mei had passed away and no one would be able to give him so much money in one go. Even if he sold all the Xia family's properties, he would not be able to pool together 500,000 dollars in a day.

Unless… unless he looked for the He family!

At this moment, He Ning was drinking tea at home and listening to music. His health had started to improve a lot thanks to the ginseng which Qiao Mei gave him. Huo Gao told him that if he continued to eat ginseng for another three years, he could basically recover his health and would not be as weak and sickly as before. He used to look like he could be blown over by a gust of wind.

If he continued to eat ginseng for another five years, he might be cured of 80% of his illnesses. If so, it would only be a matter of time before he was free from illnesses and discomfort.

Jia Zhong slowly walked in and said respectfully to He Ning, "Mr. He, something huge has happened in the Xia family recently."

"So what if something huge happened to the Xia family? Who would be so blind as to go and cause trouble for the Xia family? I want to laugh when I think of Xia Wen's worried expression now." The more He Ning thought about it, the happier he felt. There was nothing more fun for him than seeing Xia Wen anxious.

"Qiao Mei has died," Jia Zhong whispered.

"What did you say! Say that again!" He Ning sat up from the sofa in shock and looked at Jia Zhong in disbelief.

"The Xia family has already hung up white lanterns at their house. I hung around at the entrance of the Xia family house for a long time and received confirmation that Qiao Mei has passed away. Her two children are also in critical condition in the hospital. I hear that the doctor has said if they can't last through the next week, they will also die." Jia Zhong related all the information he had found out.

He Ning found it quite hard to accept. Previously, when he went to deliver money to Qiao Mei, he even asked Huo Gao to take her pulse. She was not in a worse condition than any ordinary pregnant woman. How could she have passed away suddenly?

"Did you find out why she passed away? Is there some misunderstanding?" He Ning asked with a frown.

"I heard that she was killed. We're still trying to find out the details," Jia Zhong said.

Xia Wen did not wait for the security officer at the door to announce his arrival and simply walked straight into He Ning's house. He looked at He Ning and said, "There's no misunderstanding. Qiao Mei has really passed away and my sister is in jail. Now, my wife has also been captured. Didn't you do all this? Why are you still pretending?"

"Me? What reason do I have to do that? Don't tell me I've taken a fancy to your wife? That wife of yours is very boring. Why will I take a fancy to her! Your sister is like a shrew. What's the use of having her! It's more realistic if you say that I've taken a fancy to Qiao Mei. Xia Wen, is there something wrong with your brain? You must be so anxious that you're all muddled," He Ning said as he looked at Xia Wen in disdain.

Xia Wen sat on the sofa opposite He Ning as if he had entered his own house. There was not much change in his expression.

"I know it's not you. I'm just asking a question. Why are you so anxious? Are you feeling guilty?" Xia Wen said.

"You're really! Really!" He Ning thought for a long time but did not know how to describe Xia Wen.

"Think about it. Other than you, who else in the capital can set up such a big trap?" Xia Wen asked.
