Tan Jing had always refused to go to the hospital for a checkup, so no one had any conclusive evidence of Tan Jing being infertile or facing difficulty in getting pregnant. They could not accuse her without any proof.

Furthermore, Tan Jing could not handle any such discussions. As long as the matter of having children was mentioned in front of Tan Jing, she would always kick up a fuss. Sometimes, she would even cry for a few days. In the end, Xu Lan and the rest of the family simply did not care anymore.

"I know you want a child, and I'm not saying that it's impossible, but this is really not the right time. Besides… do you know the child's character and personality? Won't you just be hurting the child if you bring him back so rashly?" Xia Wen said.

Ever since Xia Wen found out that Tan Jing had such an intention, he had carried out an investigation in secret. He had already found out everything about that child. His family was not an honest family at all.

This family did not even have any actual blood relations with the Tan family at all. They had spouted some nonsense to lie to the Tan family. Their family was really too poor and this sinister man used his children as tools to earn money. His wife had not stopped getting pregnant for the past few years and she just kept giving birth. Once they could not afford to feed the child, they would sell the child away.

The man's current wife was his second wife. His first wife had bled profusely when she was giving birth and both lives were lost. Neither one could be saved.

Using this method, this man was able to support his family during the past few years. They were going to sell this child to Tan Jing for the same reason this time round.

They were not after Tan Jing's money, but the golden mountain known as the Xia family. The child was already grown and was not an infant who did not know anything. As long as they could keep this child under their control, they would be able to enjoy endless wealth.

Xia Wen knew this very well, which was why he did not agree to adopt this child. There were so many pitiful children in the orphanage who would be a better choice. He was the eldest son of the Xia family and he could not take such a risk.

"Let's go to the orphanage to adopt an adorable child after this period of time. We really can't do this right now," Xia Wen said as gently as he could as he looked at Tan Jing.

"Why! Why can she have her own child! And I have to wait! Why can't I have a child of my own! Is it wrong for me to want to have a child now! Why do you have to treat me like this!" Tears welled up in Tan Jing's eyes. She just could not understand why Qiao Mei was so lucky but nothing went smoothly for her.

"No means no! This matter is non-negotiable! Don't you know the real reason why! There are some things that become meaningless if they are spelt out too clearly." Xia Wen's patience was completely exhausted by Tan Jing. He had already endured her for a long time.

Tan Jing looked at Xia Wen. The way Xia Wen looked at her was as if he was looking at a stranger, no, an enemy. In the past, Xia Wen had always looked at her with a smile on his face, making her feel as if there was a warm spring breeze blowing at her. During those moments, it felt as if no problem was too big to be solved. However, what had caused this to change?

She could not figure it out, nor did she want to. All these people from the Xia family did not understand her nor like her. The only person they liked was Qiao Mei. As long as Qiao Mei was around, she would not have a good life…

Yes! As long as Qiao Mei was around, she would not have a place in this family! As long as Qiao Mei's children were around, she would not be able to have her own child!

So all of this was Qiao Mei's fault! It was all Qiao Mei's fault!

"Qiao Mei… That's right… It's her… It's because of Qiao Mei… It's all because of this b*tch…" Tan Jing muttered softly to herself.

Xia Wen tried to listen carefully but he could not hear what Tan Jing was saying. Suddenly, Tan Jing rushed out of the room and headed straight for Qiao Mei's bedroom.

As long as Qiao Mei and her babies were eliminated! Everything would return to its original state!

"Let me tell you…" Qiao Mei was chatting and laughing with Xia He when she looked up and saw the fierce-looking Tan Jing with something in her hand. Qiao Mei asked tentatively, "Eldest Sister-in-law? What's the matter?"

"Qiao Mei! I'm going to kill you!!!" Tan Jing raised the small garden shovel which she had picked up in the courtyard and rushed angrily towards Qiao Mei. Xia He reacted quickly and kicked Tan Jing to the ground, snatching the shovel from her hands and pinning Tan Jing tightly to the ground so that she could not move.
