After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

"How can one be enough? A sick person like me needs to take it every day. Basically my life depends on ginseng, so it will never be enough. The more the better," He Ning said with a smile.

He Ning looked at Qiao Mei's doubtful expression and immediately said, "Name a price or condition, Miss Qiao. I'll do my best to fulfill it."

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning and said, "Actually, there's something I don't quite understand. I wonder if I can ask Mr. He about it?"

With Qiao Mei's beautiful face and sweet voice, coupled with her young age and the innocent and puzzled expression on her face, there was probably no one who could resist her charm.

No wonder there was an old saying about how no man could resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Just looking at a beautiful woman made one want to speak gently as well.

He Ning had always been dismissive of marriage and relationships, especially when it came to men who were trapped by women or love. He Ning felt that these men were extremely stupid.

However, as He Ning looked at Qiao Mei, he finally understood why those people would make such crazy choices.

"You said that ginseng is very helpful to you?" Qiao Mei asked.

He Ning nodded and said, "Yes, very. I really need ginseng. I'm here today not only to ask for the ginseng that you have, but also to thank you. Without your ginseng, my health might be even worse."

How sanctimonious.

"Then what did you do to thank me? You got someone to dig up my house, got people from the Liang family to come and look for me, tricked Zhou Hua into helping you and created a mess in the Xia family? Is this how you thank people? Then your way of saying thanks is really quite special," Qiao Mei said mockingly.

He Ning looked at Qiao Mei with some admiration. As he listened to what Qiao Mei said, his initial faint smile turned into a big laugh. He found himself liking this young lady very much.

She was frank and did not beat around the bush. He found it tiring to keep scheming against others, and there were very few people who were willing to talk to him so bluntly by now. It felt very good and he liked it very much.

Since Qiao Mei was so frank, he decided to also lay his cards on the table.

He Ning stopped his earlier act of pretense and said, "Whether it was you or your grandfather who dug up the ginseng, you never thought of giving it to me. Furthermore, you were also not the one who gave it to me. The ginseng was given to me by the Cao family, so I will only thank them."

"If someone gave me life-saving medicine, shouldn't I thank the person who gave me the medicine instead of the person who made the medicine? Or should I just go and thank that ginseng and the rivers and mountains that nurtured it?" He Ning asked.

What He Ning said made sense and Qiao Mei was rendered speechless.

"As for the things you mentioned, I admit that I did them. I did go overboard, but on account that you were not hurt in the end, please forgive me," He Ning said with a slight bow.

To He Ning, putting on such an attitude was already a show of humility. It had always been people coming to apologize to him. He Ning had never apologized to anyone before.

If anyone who knew He Ning saw this scene, they would probably be so shocked that their eyes would pop out.

Suddenly, a gust of wind from inside the house blew into his face. He caught a whiff of a faint fragrance and immediately felt his headache lessen by a great deal.

He Ning was stunned by it and remained in the bowing position for a while. He had spent a lot of money to get people to find rare and precious herbs for him but he had never come across this fragrant smell before. The more amazing thing was that this floral fragrance was surprisingly useful to him.

As the gust of wind died down, the fragrance gradually dissipated. He Ning straightened up and looked at Qiao Mei with a burning gaze. He was sure that he had just smelt the fragrance of flowers.

In the past, he needed flowers to be piled up next to him at home so that he was surrounded by the fragrance of the flowers all the time. Using self-hypnosis, he was able to ignore his own pain by concentrating on the floral fragrance. However, this fragrant smell today was able to directly reduce his pain. The effect was immediate!

He Ning took two steps forward agitatedly and asked, "Miss Qiao, can you open the door and let me in so we can talk?"

He Ning made full use of his height to look through the glass to see what kind of flowers and plants the Xia family had in their house. He had to know what they were and try his best to get them.

Qiao Mei stared at He Ning as he got very close to her and frowned. "No."

He Ning took a step back and said, "Then about the ginseng..."

"I'm sorry but I can't agree. I can't make a decision on this matter. I'm a woman and I have to listen to my husband when it comes to family matters. Let's talk about it when the members of the Xia family return home," Qiao Mei said as she pretended to be helpless.
