After confirming the address, Quan Meng turned around without paying any attention to Quan Yi and Gao Si and was about to leave the jewelry workshop when Quan Yi stopped her.

“Wait a minute!” Quan Yi slowly walked close to Quan Meng and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Since you’ve decided to cut off all ties with the Quan family, then the Quan family’s shares…”

Quan Meng knew she was up to no good. Quan Yi was indeed after her 8% of the shares. Unfortunately, Quan Meng had better foresight than her.

Quan Meng’s lips curled up, revealing a smile that made Quan Yi a little scared. She also replied in a voice that only the two of them could hear, “Since you want to know so badly, why don’t you ask your fiance?”

With that, Quan Meng turned around, pulled Shen Xin along and left. No matter how Quan Yi called out to her, she didn’t stop.

She had only made a normal transaction with Liang Ye. Furthermore, Liang Ye had betrayed her. If she could, she would never let them live so happily.

She had deliberately spoken in an ambiguous manner because she wanted to see their lives turn into chaos.

With Quan Yi’s personality, she would definitely become suspicious. If she didn’t make things clear, Quan Yi would start to bear grudges against Liang Ye. At that juncture, it would be none of her business.

It was already past 9 pm when she reached home. To her surprise, Huo Ling was waiting for her in the living room.

“You still know to come back?”

“I’m sorry. I really forgot to tell you this time.” Quan Meng nodded at Huo Ling apologetically. “Have you eaten?”

This was just a polite remark. After all, Huo Ling was already an adult in his twenties. He should know that he should eat when he was hungry.

“I’m not hungry.” Just as Huo Ling gave his chilly reply, an untimely sound was heard. It was Huo Ling’s stomach rumbling.

“Hahahaha!” When she heard that, Quan Meng burst into laughter immediately.

Huo Ling was a little peeved and embarrassed. “I wonder who was that person who went to a dirty street food stall and forgot that there was a living person in the house.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll go make you something to eat now.” Quan Meng laughed so hard that tears came out of her eyes, and she jogged all the way to the kitchen.

After a while, a bowl of piping hot tomato egg noodles was placed on the table.

“This is all that’s left in the house. Just bear with it and have some.”

Although Huo Ling did not want to admit it at all, even a simple dish made by Quan Meng was extremely delicious.

Looking at Huo Ling’s slender hand holding the chopsticks and his bare wrist, Quan Meng suddenly thought of what to give Huo Ling.

She hurried back to her room, took out her sketchbook, and began to sketch. Soon, a low-key luxurious watch appeared in the notebook.

Quan Meng planned to use the dark-colored gemstone she had just bought as a decoration, and the rest could be used to make a pair of cuff links.

The next morning, Quan Meng followed the directions on the GPS and arrived at Yao Bing and Bai Xin’s new home. It was located in a newly built villa area in the suburbs. After getting out of the taxi, she saw a familiar car. It seemed to be Yu Yan’s car.

Quan Meng had woken up very early today, but after she woke up, she realized that Huo Ling was no longer at home. However, now that she looked at the two people in the car, they looked a little like Huo Ling and Yu Yan. Unfortunately, she could not see them clearly and could only make out their silhouettes.

The client was more important, so Quan Meng only took a glance and left.

The moment Quan Meng stepped into Bai Xin’s and Yao Bing’s house, she was attracted by the garden full of greenery. The information she read yesterday stated that Bai Xin liked greenery, but she didn’t expect she would like it to such an exaggerated extent.

Bai Xin was dressed in a plain white dress and her hair was casually tied up behind her head, giving her a languid air. In addition, she was tall and very fair, just like a fairy who had descended to the mortal world.

Quan Meng was stunned by this sight. In the end, it was Bai Xin who smiled and roused Quan Meng back to her senses.

“Are you alright?” Bai Xin looked at Quan Meng who was grinning foolishly and was a little worried.

“Yes, yes. I’m fine.” Quan Meng recovered herself and was a little embarrassed.

Then, she took out the draft from her bag. “This is a slight modification based on your later preferences. What do you think?”

Bai Xin was very pleased with Quan Meng’s design and only gave a few minor suggestions. A day passed quickly and the draft was finalized. All that was left was for the master of the house, Yao Bing, to confirm it when he returned home.

Before long, Yao Bing pushed the door open and walked in. He immediately went up to kiss Bai Xin and only saw Quan Meng afterward. He felt a little embarrassed.

“So Miss Quan is here. I’m sorry I didn’t see you.”

Quan Meng expressed her understanding and left after confirming the design draft.

As the saying went, enemies were destined to meet again. She had just walked a short distance before she bumped into Liang Ye. He was wearing a hat on his head.

Liang Ye was also a little shocked to meet Quan Meng here.

“What are you doing here?” The two of them asked at the same time.
