Chapter 401: Dropping All Pretenses

Xia Zhe brought over a stool and placed it opposite all the men from the Xia family. Qiao Mei sat down slowly as all the men looked on solemnly.

Qiao Mei smiled innocently and said, "Everyone, don't be so nervous."

Seeing that Qiao Mei had not been frightened by the ordeal, they all felt a sense of relief.

Xia Wen blurted out, "It scared me half to death! I almost wanted to ask the security guards to rush over!"

After learning about the situation at home, he rushed back to his own house to get all his savings, which amounted to 500 dollars. He was about to go to the school to try and get an advance of a few months' salary when the phone rang. When he realized it was He Ning calling, he broke out in a cold sweat.
