Chapter 1557 Take Good Care During the Pregnancy
The next few days passed slowly. It was soon the day for the interview with the reporters from the television stations. Qian'e put on a beautiful outfit and faced the reporters together with Zhao Ni. She told them about all those grudges over the years, including Qian Wang being irresponsible towards his family and Old Madam Qian bullying her mother and her.
The most important story was about how He Mei instructed Ma San and Shen Na to break up her family and cause her to lose her baby.
There was generally a sense of pity for Qian'e and Zhao Ni. Although there were still people who passed insulting remarks about Qian'e being a promiscuous and disgraced woman, most people felt sorry for her.
After the interview ended, the reporters flocked to He Ning's house and waited outside his front door. They waited to see if He Ning would come out and give a statement together with a reasonable explanation. If what Qian'e said was true, they also wanted to see if He Mei would explain her actions and also apologize to Qian'e and her family.
He Ning hid inside the house and refused to go out. The people outside were in such a tizzy and made so much noise that it gave him a headache.
"Ask the Song and Du families to send people here! To chase away all the people outside!" He Ning said in annoyance.
"They might not take orders from us. Although we have a mutually beneficial relationship with the Du family, they have always been lukewarm to us. I'm worried that they will betray us this time," Huo Gao said.
"Betray us? They still want to get ginseng from me! If they betray me, that old man from the Song family can forget about staying alive! No one in the Song family nor the Du family can stay alive!" He Ning said furiously.
It was not until dark that the crowd outside dispersed. He Ning had a splitting headache by now. If not for that idiot in the backyard, he would not have to face so much trouble today.
"How has He Mei been recently?" He Ning asked.
"The baby is good and there are no issues with the growth and development. We just need to keep a close watch. However, He Mei is not very well-behaved. I hear from Jia Zhong that she's still trying to contact Zhou Dun in private," Huo Gao said.
"Tell Jia Zhong to find an opportunity to get rid of Zhou Dun. How can I let a traitor mess up all my plans? Tell him to remember to do a clean job. If anything goes wrong at this time, people can use it against me," He Ning said impatiently.
"Got it," Huo Gao said.
After He Ning drank his evening medicine, he slowly made his way to He Mei's accommodation. The place was not big but it was still livable. He Mei had been through worse and this was nothing to her.
"Little Uncle, you're here," He Mei said with a smile.
"How's everything? Is there anything else you need here? If you need anything, just tell the helper. She'll let me know and I'll arrange for Jia Zhong to buy it for you," He Ning said amiably.
"Really? I would like a television set. It's really boring here every day." He Mei wanted to say something else, but when she saw He Ning's mocking gaze, she shut her mouth obediently .
"Your pregnancy is starting to show. Huo Gao told me that you've been very proactive about taking care of yourself during this period of time and that the baby is well. This is very good," He Ning said as he sat down.
"Thank you, Little Uncle. This is what I should do. I will definitely take good care of this child!" He Mei said.
He Ning raised his eyes to look at He Mei and said slowly, "You have to know that if I can get you pregnant with Xia Zhe's child, I can also make you lose the child. I can send you into the Xia family but I can also send you somewhere else. I hear that you've been chatting with a dog recently, so I killed that disobedient dog. Now, you can stay here in peace."
It was no wonder that she had not been able to contact Zhou Dun after that incident. He was the last of He Guo's trusted confidants and now He Ning had taken his life. She was never ever going to be able to defeat He Ning.
He Mei sat limply on the bed and looked at He Ning with fear. She did not know when He Ning would kill her.
"Why are you so afraid of me? I'm your uncle and I won't hurt you. But look at how much trouble you've caused me recently. Don't think that I don't know what you're trying to do. If you come and tell me, I can help you achieve what you want. However, you choose to act without permission behind my back, so I have to discipline you," He Ning said.
"I know that it's my fault… Little Uncle, please spare me…" He Mei said as she tried to control her trembling voice.
