nChapter 488: Seeking an Explanation

nQian’e left without looking back. She had to go to the He family’s house today to demand an explanation. She must go and reason with the He family before they report the case to the authorities.

n“Knock, knock, knock!” There was a knock on the He family’s heavy door.

nHuo Gao hurriedly ran out to open the door. Although He Ning was still around and holding the He family together, the housemaids had all been dismissed and he was the only one left to take care of He Ning.

n“Who are you?” Huo Gao looked at Qian’e in puzzlement.

nBefore this, he had only heard He Mei mention her name and had never seen her in person.

n“Hello, I’m Qian’e. I’m here to look for He Ning. Is he at home?” Qian’e said politely.

nHuo Gao was a little shocked. His impression of Qian’e was that she was a timid person. To everyone at home, He Mei had described Qian’e as being young but with the looks of a woman in her 40s, and that she had resentment written all over her face, as if everyone owed her something.

nThe woman in front of him had a slender figure and looked to be in her 30s. It was not as exaggerated as He Mei had described. He also knew that Qian’e had gone through a hard time because of Ma San, and that she had lost her baby and even had her uterus removed.

n“He Ning is still sleeping and will only wake up in a while. Do you have time to wait for him?” Huo Gao said.

nQian’e nodded and said, “Sure.”

nTime was the one thing she did not lack. As long as her current urgent problems could be solved, she was willing to wait for as long as required.

nAs soon as Qian’e entered the house behind Huo Gao, she saw He Ning resting on the sofa. The originally arrogant “Living King of Hell” looked like a sick kitten now. She felt that she probably did not even need to use much strength to easily crush He Ning at the moment.

n“Let’s go to the living room first. It’s not convenient for Miss Qian to wait here.” Huo Gao not only brought her to the living room, but also prepared tea and snacks for her.

nThis was the first time Qian’e felt that there were humane people in the He family.

n“Thank you. I have thought that everyone in the He family is like He Mei,” Qian’e said.

n“Why do you say that? I think the He family members are quite nice.” Huo Gao smiled at Qian’e. This young girl actually dared to speak so freely. The people who came to see the He family were usually well-behaved and did not dare to speak more than necessary.

n“Quite nice? That’s really a surprise,” Qian’e said mockingly.

nIt was all thanks to the He family that she had fallen into such dire straits. How dare he tell her that the He family members were all quite nice?

n“Miss Qian, you’re here today for the Xia family matter, right?” Huo Gao asked.

nQian’e sized up Huo Gao. How did he know about this? Would He Ning let his servants know about this matter? Could this man be one of He Ning’s two brothers?

n“I still don’t know who you are? You have asked me many questions, but you haven’t introduced yourself. Isn’t that a little rude?” Qian’e said with a frown.

n“I’m really sorry. I’m Huo Gao, the He family’s private doctor. In other words, I’m He Ning’s only doctor,” Huo Gao said with a laugh.

nNo wonder he knew everything about the He family. It looked like He Ning was very close to him. She decided not to tell him everything, in case it gave He Ning the chance to hold something over her.

n“Don’t be nervous. I’m not trying to find out anything from you. I know all these things, but this is the He family’s family matter, so it’s not convenient for me to interfere. I’m just curious and asking questions for myself,” Huo Gao explained.

n“It’s fine, I don’t mind either. When will He Ning wake up? Do I have to wait for a long time?” Qian’e asked.

n“How about this, I’ll call Miss He and Mr. Ma and ask them to come back. This way, everyone can talk together and it’s less troublesome.” After saying that, Huo Gao went out to call He Mei and Ma San to ask them to return to the house.

nHe Mei could not believe her ears and even thought that she had misheard what Huo Gao said. She had not even had the chance to go and look for Qian’e yet, but Qian’e had come looking for her at this moment!

nHe Mei drove back in a hurry and walked into the house angrily. She kicked the door open with a loud bang, startling He Ning who was still sleeping soundly in the living room.

n“What an idiot! Who dares to behave so atrociously in my house!” He Ning roared.

nHe Mei stood at the door like a child who had done something wrong and did not dare to move. She had forgotten that He Ning was still resting at home and had kicked the door open on impulse.

nHe Ning frowned and looked at He Mei, wishing that he could cut her into pieces.
