Chapter 1533 Chance Encounter
Without any hesitation, Xia Zhe decided to buy the wheelchair. This was the first time he had spent so much money! He would usually scrimp and save.
On the way home, Xia Zhe was all smiles and greeted everyone he saw. He was just short of writing the words "my wife is pregnant" on his forehead to announce it to the world!
"Why do you have that silly smile on your face?" Sitting in the wheelchair, Qiao Mei looked up at Xia Zhe helplessly.
"I'm feeling happy!" Xia Zhe said excitedly.
He pushed the wheelchair carefully, scared that he would hit stones or rocks on the way or that the road was too bumpy. He wanted to be especially careful. Just now, Xia Fang had reminded him that they must take great care during the first three months of pregnancy and could not afford to be careless.
"If you continue to be so slow, we won't be able to reach home before dark. We will only reach home tomorrow morning," Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
"There's no hurry, there's no hurry. Let's take it slow. It's risky to go too fast. It's so rare for us to have time to take a walk together. Just treat it as you're keeping me company," Xia Zhe said.
When they passed by an alleyway, they suddenly saw two familiar figures, He Mei and He Ning.
Xia Zhe stared fixedly at He Ning, worried that he would do something dangerous and hurt Qiao Mei. At the same time, he glanced instinctively at He Mei's stomach. He wondered if He Mei's plan had succeeded. He Mei's stomach was very flat and she did not look pregnant, but the fact that she kept her hand over her lower abdomen was enough to prove that they had succeeded in their plan.
"Where did the two of you go?" He Ning asked.
"We're just taking a walk. I certainly don't expect to meet Mr. He here. It's such a rare sight since the western suburb is so far from the city. What brings you here? Oh right, how have you been recently?" Qiao Mei said in a hypocritical show of concern.
"Thanks to you, I'm feeling quite good. I even look radiant nowadays," He Ning said with a smile.
Qiao Mei pursed her lips and felt a little angry. If she had known that this would happen, she would not have given him so many ginsengs. Since He Ning dared to appear near their house with He Mei, it was enough to show that he had ulterior motives.
She did not know what He Ning was thinking. What good did he get out of offending her? Without her ginseng, He Ning would not even be able to even stay alive. Could it be that He Ning had some other "life-saving medicine" on the side?
She did not want to speculate or ask him. Even if he had other options, he would not tell her. She might as well find out for herself and let him off for the time being.
After all, there was a "dog" beside him staring at her covetously.
"Then you guys have fun. We'll go off first," Qiao Mei said.
Xia Zhe pushed the wheelchair carefully and even squatted down from time to time to pick up the stones on the road in front of Qiao Mei and throw them aside. He Mei looked on as he did all these.
"What are you looking at? Let's go!" He Ning said fiercely.
He Mei had never seen Xia Zhe so in love with someone. He had never treated her so gently or given her such an affectionate gaze. He Ning also felt a little frustrated as there was something strange about how Xia Zhe was behaving with Qiao Mei. His eyesight was very good and he immediately caught sight of the logo printed on the back of the wheelchair.
"Come! Let's go to the hospital!" He Ning immediately said.
"Go to the hospital? Why are we going to the hospital?" He Mei asked fearfully.
She was scared to end up like Shen Na, getting pregnant out of wedlock and having her reputation ruined. If so, it would be better off if this child and her die together now!
"Don't worry, I'm not going to make you do a checkup!" He Ning could not be bothered to explain himself to He Mei.
All he wanted to do now was to find out why Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe had gone to the hospital. Why did Qiao Mei need to go to the hospital?
Most of the staff in Xia Fang's hospital were relatives of the Xia and Liu families and they all sang the same tune . Fortunately, He Ning had invested a lot of money into this hospital in order to seek treatment in the past. He Mei also worked here for a period of time and still had a few acquaintances.
He Ning gave those people a sum of money and asked them to look into Qiao Mei's file for the records of her visit in the afternoon. In the end, they were shocked to find out that Qiao Mei was pregnant again!
He stood there gloomily. He had thought that he could use He Mei's baby to separate Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe. How could it be coincidental that Qiao Mei was having a baby too!
If Qiao Mei gave birth to this child, then even if the matter was exposed, Qiao Mei would still stay married to Xia Zhe for the sake of the children.
