However, things did not happen as Huang Quan expected. Xia Wen asked curiously, “How do you know that Qiao Mei is my younger sister?”
Huang Quan stood rooted to the spot and said with a puzzled expression, “Didn’t she call you Eldest Brother just now? If so, she’s naturally your younger sister.”
Xia Wen smiled mockingly. So Huang Quan did not know that Qiao Mei was already married and thought that she was a young and single girl!
In the capital, no one would dare to have designs on the Xia family’s daughter-in-law. That would be like courting death. Even He Ning, who had his eyes on Qiao Mei, did not dare to snatch her away openly.
However, it was understandable from Huang Quan t s point of view. Recently, Xu Lan had made Qiao Mei wear too many layers of clothes. In addition, her bump was quite small this pregnancy. Unless it was someone who spent time with Qiao Mei every day, it was very difficult to tell that she was pregnant.
The thing was, even if Huang Quan was unable to tell that Qiao Mei was pregnant, why was it that Tan Jing did not tell Huang Quan about Qiao Mei’s identity? Who knew what Tan Jing was trying to do!
“You’ve got it wrong. She is my sister-in-law. Thank you again for picking up her examination pass. Her bangles are a family heirloom and can’t be given away. I hope you won’t disturb my sister-in-law anymore. After she is done with the college entrance examination, members of the Xia family will personally visit you to thank you for your help,” Xia Wen said.
“Sister-in-law! Xia family!” Huang Quan looked at Xia Wen and Qiao Mei in shock.
He had only heard of Xia Wen, but he had never met Xia Wen before. This meant that Tan Jing already knew Qiao Mei’s identity and deliberately led him to harass Qiao Mei. She even lied that she did not know Qiao Mei! So all of this was a trap set up by Tan Jing! He had been used by Tan Jing!
“Yes, I’m Xia Wen from the Xia family,” Xia Wen said with a nod.
Huang Quan awkwardly bade farewell to Xia Wen and left the school in a hurry. He drove straight to the Tan family’s house. He must vent his anger or else he was not a man!
Qiao Mei held on to the examination pass and sighed. As the saying went, the winds really howled around the highest peaks. It seemed that she must keep an even lower profile, otherwise there would be more troublesome things to deal with in the future. However, her capability did not allow her to keep a low profile.
“Everyone, thank you for helping Qiao Mei to search for her examination pass.
Our Xia family won’t forget this kindness. It’s already very late, so I’ve arranged for a driver to send everyone home. Qiao Mei and I will make a move first,” Xia Wen said as he looked at the people around.
Xia Wen had already made arrangements for a bus to be on standby. The bus was big enough to accommodate everyone helping out. It was not nice to let these people go home on their own so late at night. There was no longer any public transport at this hour.
As for the identity of the mastermind in this matter, they could talk about it after Qiao Mei was done with the college entrance examination. Now was not the right time to deal with them.
In the middle of the night, Huang Quan kicked the Tan family’s main door a few times. Jiang Yi put on her coat and slowly walked to the door, shouting, “Who is it! Why are you knocking on the door in the middle of the night!’
“Open the door! I’m looking for Tan Jing!” Huang Quan shouted.
Many neighbors had turned on the lights to watch the commotion. When Jiang
Yi saw Huang Quan, she scrambled back into the house in fright to look for Tan Jing. She had always been fond of her new son-in-law and he always wore a big smile when he saw her. However, right now, Huang Quan looked as if he wanted to kill everyone in her family.
Tan Jing already knew this day would come, but she did not expect it to come so quickly.
She got dressed up and went to the door. Huang Quan was about to question her when she said, “Let’s talk somewhere further away. Everyone has already gone to bed.”
Huang Quan looked at the people around them and suppressed his anger. The two of them drove to a park and as soon as they got out of the car, Huang Quan gave Tan Jing a slap.
“You whore, how dare you lie to me! Who gave you the guts!” Huang Quan grabbed Tan Jing by the collar and questioned her.
“Eh eh, how would I know who she is,” Tan Jing said.
“You don’t know? Don’t lie to me! That’s your ex-husband! How can you not know his sister-in-law? You clearly lied to me! See if I don’t beat you to death today!” Huang Quan said angrily.
“Aren’t you afraid that He Ning will find out? Don’t forget that we’re already engaged! There’s nothing else you can do except marry me. Even if you beat me to death today, you still have to marry me,” Tan Jing said mockingly to Huang Quan.
“Marry you? You’re thinking too much. How can a cheap thing like you be worthy of me! Even if I have to marry an old lady in her 70s or 80s, I won’t marry you! You can give up that thought!” Huang Quan said in disgust.
Sun Chun did not participate in the theft of Qiao Mei’s examination pass, but she told that man where Qiao Mei sat in the classroom and also told him when there would be no one inside the room..
