1039 “The Fiery Female Chef”

“Can’t you see who’s coming? Make way!”

“Don’t make us use force! If you know what’s good for you, then get lost quickly!”

Two bodyguards took the lead and cleared a path for He Ning. The rest of the bodyguards quickly surrounded He Ning and dispersed people standing nearby, clearing a wide path for him.

He Ning quietly enjoyed the moment and did not care about what others thought of him. Ever since his health deteriorated three years ago, he had rarely appeared in front of the public. It had been a long time since he felt this way.

Qiao Mei stood at the door and said impatiently, “Why are you only here now? Do you want our entire family to wait for you?”

“There was a traffic jam and I was held up for a while. It’s my fault. It’s so cold outside. Should we go in and talk?” He Ning asked. To this, Qiao Mei frowned and replied, “It’s not impossible for you to come in. Where are the things I asked you to bring? Have you brought everything?”

He Ning smiled resignedly. This little girl was putting on a show and involving him in it. It was so troublesome to have to do all these. In the future, if anyone wanted to film a television drama, he would definitely recommend Qiao Mei to act in the show. It would be such a pity to let such a talent go to waste.

Otherwise, he could invest in a movie himself. He had already thought of the t.i.tle. It would be called “The Fiery Female Chef”. The script was simply full of scenes of Qiao Mei cooking for him every day. He decided that she could maintain her own personality in the show. Just thinking about it made him feel very amused.

He raised his hand and the bodyguards beside him opened the boxes one by one. The eight boxes were all filled with money. This was the money he owed Qiao Mei for the ginseng. If not for the fact that he wanted to eat Qiao Mei’s fish dish, he would not have been so generous as to fork out 400,000 dollars to put on this act with Qiao Mei.

Initially, he wanted to stretch out the entire payment process. The previous few times when he came to return the money, Qiao Mei did not offer him anything. It was rare for Qiao Mei to agree to let him freeload a meal this time. Out of a moment of impulse, he had brought too much money with him. He decided not to pay back the money so readily in the future. He still wanted to eat the fish dish a few more times!

“What about now? Can we go in and have a chat?” He Ning asked.

Qiao Mei took a few steps back and let He Ning enter the house alone. The bodyguards waited in the courtyard with the boxes. Without Qiao Mei’s permission, they could not enter or leave as they pleased.

After closing the door, Qiao Mei looked more relaxed. She acted as if He Ning was invisible and just walked straight towards the kitchen. The food was not ready yet and He Ning needed to wait a little longer.

The entire house was silent and no one spoke to He Ning. They were not like Qiao Mei and the enmity between the families was not something they could let go. Xia Wen even suspected that Xia Mao’s accident this time was related to the He family. It was all too much of a coincidence.

He Ning did not care about all this and did not behave like an outsider at all. He walked to the sofa opposite Xia Wen and sat down. After staring at Xia Wen for a long time, he said, “Your book is upside down. Have you developed some sort of new method recently?”

Xia He silently turned her head to one side. Even though she tried her best to hold back her laughter, her trembling shoulders still betrayed her.

“Ahem, I just want to try out a new way of reading. Do you have any objections?” Xia Wen closed the book awkwardly and placed it on the coffee table.

“Not bad. It’s good that you know there are benefits to making progress.” He Ning looked towards the upper floor and asked politely, “How has Uncle Xia been recently? Has his health improved?”

“He’s alive. He will definitely live longer than you,” Xia He said viciously.

He Ning did not take what Xia He said to heart. The indistinct fragrance had appeared in the house again. It was strange that he could only smell this fragrance in the Xia family’s house. Even though he had already bought all the flowers and plants they had in the house, the fragrance dissipated when he reached home.

“Has your family been using incense recently?” He Ning asked.

“No, we don’t use such things,” Xia Wen said.

It was so strange. There were mainly cactuses in the house and the rest were plants that were easy to care for. There were no plants with blooming flowers at all. Where did the fragrance in the house come from?

Could it be that someone was wearing perfume? However, he knew the Xia family members very well. Xia Wen did not have the spare cash to buy perfume. Xia He was so lazy that she did not even put on makeup, let alone wore perfume. Perhaps it was Xu Lan’s perfume or Qiao Mei’s perfume.
