章 1808: Be My Sister

"Alright, since Miss Qiao is so upfront, then I'll be frank too. I did accept this necklace, but it was given to me by someone as collateral. How can I give it to you so easily? You have to give me something to exchange for it, otherwise it'll be a huge loss for me," Brother Lei said.

Qiao Mei took out a bottle of dark green medicinal wine from her pocket and said, "Given how resourceful Brother Lei is, you must definitely know about the legendary effects of my family's 'divine medicine'. I hear that you have congenital heart disease. This can treat your illness and let you live to a ripe old age."

Brother Lei narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Mei. He had long wanted to buy a few bottles of the Xia family's "divine medicine", but this thing was rare and even the black market did not have much supply. The Xia family had given all the medicinal wine to retired veterans from the army, so it was impossible for people like him to get their hands on it.
