Chapter 1729 I Want to Marry You
"I guess I should call you Miss Tan now. Why are you here today?" He Ning asked.
Tan Jing had seen He Ning before. He used to be a very skinny man who went around in a wheelchair and looked like a walking corpse. Now that He Ning's health was gradually improving and he looked radiant, this was the first time she felt that he actually looked elegant and handsome.
"Miss Tan, are you listening to me?" He Ning raised his voice at Tan Jing impatiently.
"Oh! I... I'm here to make a deal with you," Tan Jing said shyly.
He Ning could feel goosebumps all over his body. This was the first time he had seen Tan Jing like this. He was used to seeing beautiful women. It was rare for him to see someone like Tan Jing, who was at the age when she had wrinkles all over her face and yet she still deliberately applied so much makeup on her face. Tan Jing's face was so white that it looked as if it was painted on. When he saw Tan Jing's seductive smile just now, he felt like getting a washcloth to wipe away all her makeup.
"A deal? What kind of deal do you plan to make with me? You must know that I'm not interested in business that loses money," He Ning said cautiously.
He had just gone to do Qiao Mei a favor and Tan Jing had now come knocking on his door to cause trouble. He could not afford to make Qiao Mei angry at this juncture. Once He Mei's child was born, Qiao Mei would definitely vent her anger on him. For now, he wanted to avoid as much trouble as possible.
If the Xia family was destroyed, then Xia Zhe would be worthless. By then, it would be useless even if he got hold of Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei would also hate him greatly. He Ning was not a fool and would not do such a thing.
Seeing that He Ning did not speak, Tan Jing thought that he was happy with her proposal. She continued, "I just need to be Mrs. He. I don't care if you have another woman or children outside. Just give me a sum of money every month and I'll stay at home obediently and not go anywhere. Don't worry, I won't do anything to hurt you!"
"I have indeed thought about getting married, but definitely not with you. I don't need to know the Xia family's secrets. You should go and look for someone else," He Ning said.
Tan Jing lowered her head in disappointment. She got up to leave to look for another family. There would always be people who would be interested in the Xia family's secrets.
Just as Tan Jing was about to leave the He family's house, He Ning stopped her and said, "Although I can't marry you, I can introduce you to someone."
"Who?" Tan Jing asked.
"The current chief of the capital's police department, Huang Quan. His wife just died and he's looking for a new wife. He's about five years older than you and is a perfect match for you. He's my subordinate. As long as I say the word, he will definitely marry you," He Ning said.
Tan Jing was overjoyed. She had never dreamed that she would be able to be the wife of the police chief in her life! She quickly agreed to this matter and left the He family residence feeling satisfied.
