Chapter 2429: Tripped
Wang Tian stood rooted to the spot. The truth was that she had never slept with a man before! Once she did the checkup at the hospital, this fact would definitely be exposed!
“What’s wrong? Didn’t you say that my cousin-in-law did not dare to admit to what he had done? Now that we already have DNA testing technology, we can seek justice for you,” Qiao Mei said.
She said all these to scare Wang Tian. In this era, condoms were not very common. Given the average person’s income level, condoms were considered a luxury item.
However, even if there was any hanky panky between the two young people, there would not be any DNA left inside Wang Tian’s body after so long. Qiao Mei only said that to scare Wang Tian.
“Go…” Wang Tian said weakly.
One by one, everyone followed the doctor out of the room. When Xia Wen was about to leave the private room as well, Qiao Mei held him back. Not long after, they heard a loud bang outside the door, a woman’s scream and a man groaning in pain.
Gou Dan had tripped over something and lost his balance. He knocked against Wang Tian, causing her to fall down the stairs from the second floor. At this moment, she lay unconscious in a puddle of blood.
It looked like the ambulance had really come in handy now.
“Oh my! What’s going on!” Qiao Mei and Xia Wen rushed out of the room. Qiao Mei pointed at Wang Tian and shouted, “Heavens! Gou Dan! You actually killed Wang Tian!”
“It’s not me! I tripped! It must be you! You must have pushed me!” Gou Dan said in a panic.
“Nonsense! I’m so far away from you! I hadn’t even walked out of the private room when the accident happened! The paramedics can bear witness to this!” Qiao Mei said.
The paramedics were activated at random. It would have been impossible for them to get bribed by the Xia family in such a short period of time.
“Hurry up and save her! Molly! Call the police now! Gou Dan has killed someone!” Qiao Mei screamed.
Xiao Zhuang immediately arranged for the restaurant’s security officers to surround everyone there. The paramedics hurriedly carried Wang Tian away on a stretcher. Before they left, Gou Dan said, “Let me accompany her! She will need someone to pay for her medical expenses! I’ll come along to pay for her!”
“There’s no need. Everyone here is a witness and you’re the suspect. None of you can leave. I’ll arrange for someone to help her,” Qiao Mei said.
“You also have to take responsibility! Your floor is uneven!” Gou Dan said as he pointed at the floor.
Qiao Mei smiled disdainfully and said, “These are all the best limestone floor slabs that money can buy. The restaurant’s fitout was personally supervised by a professor from Capital University. How can the floor be uneven? Are you doubting a nationally qualified professor’s abilities?”
Gou Dan did not dare to do so for sure. Furthermore, anyone with eyes could see that the floor was indeed flat, but Gou Dan was also not a fool. He had only tripped because his feet had kicked against some sort of obstacle.
“Alright, you can go back first. I’ll handle this matter,” Xia Wen said as he patted Qiao Mei on the shoulder.
By now, no matter how slow Xia Wen was, he already understood Qiao Mei’s intentions. Qiao Mei handed Xia Wen a bottle of golden medicinal wine and he nodded.
Qiao Mei had indeed tampered with something. She had used the vines buried under the restaurant to push up the floor tiles. This was also the first time Qiao Mei had done something like this and she did not know how to control her strength. She just wanted to teach Wang Tian a lesson and definitely did not mean to take her life.
Now that she had four cute children, and especially after Xia Yang’s kidnapping incident, she only wished to do more good deeds and accumulate good fortune for her children.
If it got to the point where there was really no other choice, Xia Wen knew what he had to do.
Xiao Zhuang drove Qiao Mei back to her house. Qiao Mei walked to the bedroom wearily and fell asleep. Xia Zhe hugged Qiao Mei gently and did not ask any questions. He knew very well that she would explain it to him the next day.
Qiao Mei finally woke up in the afternoon the next day. Xia Zhe was still lying beside her and keeping her company. She wrapped her arms around his neck blissfully and said, “Don’t you have to go to work today?”
“I’m worried about you,” Xia Zhe said in a gentle tone.
“I am fine~ Last night, I managed to resolve Eldest Brother’s issue successfully ~” Qiao Mei said coquettishly.
“I know you’re amazing at what you do, but it’s better not to take risks when there are so many people around. It will be bad if you get discovered,” Xia Zhe said.
Early in the morning, Xiao Zhuang had already given Xia Zhe a report of what happened yesterday. Xia Zhe knew that there was something more to the story. He was the person who knew Qiao Mei best.
Qiao Mei smiled and did not say anything. She did not keep any secrets from Xia Zhe and she knew very well that he would always take her side unconditionally. If she refuted him now, it would only hurt the harmony between husband and wife.
“Knock! Knock! Knock!”
“Mama~ Can we come in?” A childish voice came from outside the door. It was Xia Fan.
“Wait a minute~” Qiao Mei quickly got up and got dressed. After she was done, Xia Zhe opened the door for the children.
