"Do you think you're haggling over prices when buying vegetables at the market? If it's useful, it's worth it; if it's useless, you don't have to spend a penny."
Qian Yuelan felt a pang of heartache thinking about it, but she knew the money wouldn't be wasted.
So she gritted her teeth and bought it.
"Mom, thank you."
Xing Xiaomeng leaned against Qian Yuelan and thanked her gratefully.
"No need for thanks. Just make sure you keep Qiao Lei on your side and secure your position as Mrs. Qiao. The family business will get better and better, and one day, our family and the Qiao family will be a perfect match."
Qian Yuelan narrowed her eyes and said ambitiously.
When that time comes, if she returns to the Xing family's ancestral home, no one will dare to laugh at her.
Xing Xiaomeng nodded; she would try her best.
"Relying on the Xing family's influence, we can only be a paper tiger to scare people and can't do anything real. But once we have real skills, that paper tiger will become a real tiger, and that will be a different story."
Qian Yuelan gently patted Xing Xiaomeng's shoulder as she spoke, urging the Qiao family to have a child quickly. She said that with the help of the Xing family's influence, the Qiao family had finally agreed.
Otherwise, Wen Fanghui wouldn't be willing to have IVF, worried that it would harm her son's health.
Fortunately, they compromised because they were worried that the Xing family would really interfere.
But who knows what will happen in a year or two? Now that there are better methods, of course we should choose the better ones. Only what we have in our hands is real.
"Don't worry, Mom, I'll act according to the situation."
Xing Xiaomeng knew that Qian Yuelan was doing it for her own good; she and the Xing family shared both prosperity and adversity.
Xing Xiaomeng stayed at her parents' house for three days before returning home.
When I got home, I called Qiao Jing again and asked her to go out for coffee.
Qiao Jing's face was very sour: "Second sister-in-law, you still go back to your parents' home at this critical moment. You really have a big heart."
Qiao Jing felt that Xing Xiaomeng didn't care about her husband at all. The test results showed that Qiao Lei's health was not good, but Xing Xiaomeng was not at home with him and had gone back to her parents' home.
Xing Xiaomeng looked at Qiao Jing, smiled faintly, and said, "Jingjing, just say what you need to say, I have something to do later."
Xing Xiaomeng also disliked Qiao Jing, but because Qiao Jing was Qiao Lei's sister, she remained polite to her no matter how rude Qiao Jing was.
"This is a health-preserving medicine that I got for my second brother through connections. You can take it and secretly switch it with his. You can't let my second brother take Su Luo's medicine."
Qiao Jing took out several medicine bottles, and the pills inside were specially made to look similar.
Everything she did was for her brother's good.
Even if her family misunderstood her, she couldn't turn a blind eye and watch her brother's body be destroyed little by little.
Xing Xiaomeng stared at Qiao Jing in shock. She couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Qiao Jing with a mocking tone, saying, "Jingjing, I'm only being polite to you because you're a daughter of the Qiao family. Do you think I'm stupid? I can't control what you're thinking, but if you want me to do things for you, that's impossible."
Xing Xiaomeng didn't even glance at the medicine bottle. She wouldn't even make such a hasty decision about medicine given to her by her own mother, let alone Qiao Jing's.
Moreover, Qiao Jing's attitude made her very unhappy, as if she had done Qiao Jing some great favor.
Xing Xiaomeng didn't understand. She had already told Qiao Jing that Qiao Lei's body would change in two months. This was what Su Luo said. Why did Qiao Jing have to do something? She wanted to drag herself into this mess. If something happened, wouldn't Qiao Jing be able to get away with it perfectly?
"Second sister-in-law, how can you talk to me like that? I'm doing this for my second brother's own good."
Qiao Jing was stunned for a moment, and then felt ashamed and indignant when she realized what was happening. Why was everyone looking at her like that?
"Jingjing, your second brother is eating and sleeping well now. Even Western medicine emphasizes maintaining a happy mood, right? Without Su Luo, would his condition be any better than it is now? With Su Luo, is his condition any worse than before? What will happen if you wait two more months?"
Xing Xiaomeng scrutinized Qiao Jing, then narrowed her eyes and revealed a meaningful smile.
"Second sister-in-law, you don't understand anything at all. My second brother's body can't hold up for two more months. Do we really have to wait until he collapses to realize how serious things are?"
Qiao Jing gritted her teeth. What did Xing Xiaomeng mean by looking at her like that? Everything she did was for the good of her family.
"Qiao Jing, are you afraid that your second brother will lose to Su Luo after his health improves in two months?"
Xing Xiaomeng smiled as she looked at Qiao Jing, and she immediately understood.
Qiao Jing comes from a good family and has never suffered hardship. She is also a medical student who graduated from a medical university and now has a high status in the hospital. She couldn't cure her own brother, but a wild girl cured him. This is undoubtedly a humiliation for her.
The combined efforts of top domestic and international medical experts failed to cure Qiao Lei, but Su Luo cured him. For other top doctors, this might only be shocking and unbelievable, but for Qiao Jing, it was a slap in the face.
Because this would prove that Dai Ping'an was right not to accept her.
"What nonsense are you spouting? How could I be so despicable!"
Qiao Jing felt a sharp pain in her chest, her voice became shrill, and her gaze towards Xing Xiaomeng was as sharp as a knife.
Xing Xiaomeng pursed her lips and clicked her tongue, then smiled and said, "Whatever you say, but I can't be your knife."
Xing Xiaomeng stood up as soon as she was asked to marry him, and left with her head held high in arrogance.
Qiao Jing is no better; she's just as despicable.
Qiao Lei treated her very well, but what about her?
Qiao Jing looks down on her because she is considered to be marrying above her station by marrying into the Qiao family. Xing Xiaomeng used to respect Qiao Jing to some extent, but now, she doesn't need to be so polite to her anymore.
"ah--"
As soon as Xing Xiaomeng left, Qiao Jing went crazy again. She was furious and absolutely enraged.
It's bad enough that her family doesn't understand or doubt her, but now even an outsider is mocking her.
Passersby in the coffee shop frowned.
Qiao Jing felt everyone staring at her, and her face burned with embarrassment. She quickly paid the bill and left.
When Xing Xiaomeng got home, she immediately told Qiao Lei about it.
"Honey, Jingjing is just worried and confused, please don't be angry."
Xing Xiaomeng patted Qiao Lei's chest.
Qiao Lei was genuinely angry, but he quickly composed himself and gritted his teeth as he said, "I've really spoiled her for nothing."
Regardless of whether she genuinely cared or not, using such dirty tactics was enough to disgust Qiao Lei.
If you really care about him, you can use high-end equipment to monitor his sleep data at night, and you can coordinate with the hospital so that he can be admitted immediately if his condition worsens.
The only thing they didn't do was steal and switch the medicine.
"Don't worry about this. Don't go out with her again. I'm going to see Mom. You should get some rest. I've noticed you haven't been sleeping well lately. Why don't you go to a beauty salon to relax?"
After Qiao Lei finished speaking, he turned around and went downstairs.
Xing Xiaomeng watched Qiao Lei's back and knew that he was really angry, but the fact that he could still move freely while angry meant that his health was truly improving.
In the past, whenever Qiao Lei got angry, he would have difficulty breathing.
