Xia Wen did not stand on ceremony with Qiao i. He nodded and left her house and then asked his secretary to contact the Huang family. Two days later, Qiao i and Xia Wen

attended the banquet hosted by the Huang family.

Although they called it a banquet, it was actually just a simple ho cooked al. The Huang family was already at the end of their rope and did not have the money to go to a restaurant at all. They simply cooked a few dishes at ho.

"Hey! You're here! Co in and take a seat! I cooked all my signature dishes today. It's just so simple dishes. I hope you don't mind!" You Yu said enthusiastically.

"It's fine," Xia Wen said politely.

Qiao i did not want to be nice to the Huang family. Huang Zhong's father, Huang Kai, was already terminally ill. In the past, he used to weigh 180 pounds, but now he looked to be only about 80 pounds. His face was gaunt and yellow, as if he would shatter if caught in a gust of wind.

The Huang family mbers looked awkwardly at Qiao i and Xia Wen, who stood in the living room and did not move to take their seats. Qiao i did not go to the dining table but sat down on the sofa behind her.

"Everyone's ti is very precious. Just tell what you want," Qiao i said coldly.

"I'm sorry... Ahem... I know that my eldest grandson and Tan Jing have hurt you with their actions. I... I apologize on their behalf..." Huang Kai said breathlessly.

Qiao i quickly stopped him from talking. What if he vomited blood later? There were only mbers of the Huang family present today. It would not be good for her if they spread rumors that the Xia family mbers had made the old man agitated.

"They should bear the responsibility for their own mistakes. Huang Quan has already received the punishnt he deserves, hasn't he? It will be even better if you're willing to let Tan Jing be punished too," Qiao i said with a smile.

Huang Can looked furious. She was in their territory! How dare she speak to them like this!

"We can testify against Tan Jing if you want, but you have to give us so benefits," Huang Zhong said.

Xia Wen's expression darkened and Qiao i smiled mockingly. As expected, it was all about the dicinal wine. It seed that she had guessed correctly.

"So? What do you want?" Qiao i asked.

"I've long heard that your family's dicinal wine is very potent. If we testify against Tan Jing, you have to give each mber of my family a bottle of dicinal wine," Huang Zhong said shalessly.

"Our family doesn't have any more dicinal wine. You can go out and ask around. It's been a long ti since the Xia family gave any dicinal wine to outsiders. The ginsengs used to make the dicinal wine have already lost their potency," Xia Wen said.

Huang Can suddenly stood up and said loudly, "Your own family must have kept so for yourselves!"

"As you said, it belongs to our family. We can do whatever we want with it. What has it got to do with you?" Qiao i said.

"You!" Huang Can wanted to continue speaking, but You Yu quickly stopped him.

After thinking about it, Huang Zhong continued, "This is a win-win situation. Not only can Tan Jing be brought to justice to clear your mother's na, but it can also allow our family to recover our health. Why won't you agree to it?"

"It's only your family that benefits from this. Even if all of you don't testify against Tan Jing, my mother can still escape unscathed. There's no need to use this thing to threaten . If you want the dicinal wine, I have another suggestion," Qiao i said with a smile.

Xia Wen had already guessed what Qiao i was going to say. He gritted his teeth and held back his laughter as Qiao i continued, "How about you just buy it from ? I'm a businesswoman. If you want to buy it, I'll definitely sell it to you."

"But our family doesn't have that much money now," You Yu said.

Qiao i shrugged and said, "Then it has nothing to do with . Give a call if you decide to buy. We have a family gathering later, so we won't be eating with you. Excuse us."

Huang Can imdiately blocked the main door to prevent Qiao i and Xia Wen from leaving. Xia Wen turned around and said to Huang Zhong, "We have walkie-talkies in our hands and the guard team is downstairs. Do you think any good will co out of hurting us?"

"You little brats! You... cough, cough, cough... How dare you speak to in this manner! Your grandfathers and I are comrades-in-arms! Where are your manners!" Huang Kai said furiously as he coughed.

"My grandfather doesn't seem to be from the sa military region as you. How can the two of you be comrades-in-arms?" Xia Wen asked with a smile. He narrowed his eyes and pretended to joke as he said, "Besides... Old Mr. Huang, I have heard that you're a deserter?" "You!!! Cough, cough, cough..." Huang Kai almost could not catch his breath. Qiao i hurriedly pulled Xia Wen along and pushed Huang Can away. Huang Can smashed into the wall behind him.

"Oh my, I have used too much strength." Qiao i scratched her head in embarrassnt and turned to leave.

In the car, Xia Wen could not help but laugh when he thought back to how the Huang family mbers looked just now.
