Chapter 1690 Uninvited Guest

"Um... Eldest Brother, I have something else to trouble you," Qiao Mei said embarrassedly.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. Just say it," Xia Wen said.

"Since I still have to stay in the capital for a few more days and have nothing to do, can you find someone to teach me how to drive? I want to learn how to drive as soon as possible," Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei needed an excuse and a way to cover up the fact that she already knew how to drive. Besides, she really wanted to be able to drive around as soon as possible. That would be so convenient. It would not be like now, when she would have to find all kinds of reasons to get help if she wanted to go out.

"Sure, but can't you just ask Chi Ze or one of the guys? Didn't they used to be drivers in the army? He may even have been the team leader!" Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about this!"

It seemed to be true that women developed brain fog after pregnancy. Back then, Xia Zhe had asked Chi Ze to come to the capital to work because Chi Ze knew how to drive. Even without Chi Ze, both Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang stationed at her house were members of the guard team. All the members of the guard team knew how to drive. She could just ask any one of them to teach her!

After having a meal with Xu Lan and the others, Qiao Mei handed the children over to Xu Lan. She wanted to learn how to drive as soon as possible in the next few days and she could not bring them along. Now that Xu Lan was the only one at home and Luo Yu was around to stand guard, there should not be any problems.

However, this modus operandi seemed to fit He Ning's style. He Ning had been active in the capital for so many years and it was not for nothing. Sooner or later, Xia Mao and Xia Xiu would find the evidence to bring He Ning to justice.

"Oh? Don't tell me you know?" Qiao Mei asked.

"I do. I have come here today especially to tell you," He Ning said firmly.

"Then tell me, who is the real mastermind?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"I can't tell you here. Let me in and I'll tell you," He Ning said.

Qiao Mei noted the way He Ning kept her in suspense and decided not to argue with him. She would let him take a seat inside.

As soon as He Ning entered, he was attracted by the plants, furnishings and antique calligraphy and paintings in the house. Back then, when he arranged for someone to investigate the secret stash of items underneath this house, the courtyard still looked a little rundown. He did not expect Qiao Mei to have done it up so nicely.

"Where did you get all these things?" He Ning asked.

"They're all from Antique City. If you don't believe me, I can show you all the receipts. Everything is stamped! It's all written in black and white and there's no hanky panky!" Qiao Mei emphasized.

Qiao Mei had not forgotten how He Ning had caused her house to need extensive repairs!
