Tan Jing looked at Qiao Mei with even more hatred in her eyes. It was unbelievable that a girl from the countryside could get into Capital University within a year.
“I see that I’m late.” There was a man’s voice behind Qiao Mei.
Huang Quan immediately put on a respectful look and squeezed his fleshy face into a smile, “Oh, you’re not late! Not late at all! You have come at the right time! It’s an honor to have you attend my wedding banquet! If you told me earlier that you’re coming, I would have gone and picked you up personally!”
Qiao Mei did not need to turn around to know that the person who came was He Ning. Other than He Ning, there was no one else who would make Huang Quan behave like this.
He Ning ignored what Huang Quan said and turned to look at Qiao Mei, saying, “What a coincidence to run into you here. Why have you come to attend the wedding banquet?”
Huang Quan was stunned when he saw this. He Ning actually knew Qiao Mei! Why was it that this fact did not come up in his investigation? The Xia family and the He family had an ongoing grudge, did they not? How could these two people know each other? He had never seen He Ning smile at anyone! Then did that mean that he was trying to snatch He Nings “woman”?
“It’s really my misfortune to run into you. I’m not here to attend the wedding banquet. You can go up yourself. I’m here with my friends,” Qiao Mei said in annoyance.
He Ning looked at Huang Quan t s gaze and then at Qiao Mei. He thought that Huang Quan would be satisfied enough with Tan Jing, but he did not expect this man to have his eyes on Qiao Mei.
How could Huang Quan even think about cracking the tough nut which He Ning did not manage to crack? He was really too full of himself.
“I’ve already asked my people to send the congratulatory gifts to your house. I’m just here to take a quick look. I wish you both joy and happiness and to have many children. I hope you have a child soon,” He Ning said as he looked at Tan Jing.
“You have taught your students well. They’re all loyal people,” He Ning said as he clapped and looked at Wu Duo and the others.
“The people you taught are all heartless. We raise our own kind,” Qiao Mei said mockingly.
He Ning pretended to look disappointed and said, “I come here with good intentions and want to deliver news to you, but you say such things about me.
It really makes me feel so bitterly disappointed.”
“Is what you said true? Why should I believe what you say? Are you the mastermind?” Qiao Mei questioned.
“Don’t you know very well the clout I have in the capital? I rely on you to stay alive. Will I be stupid enough to shoot myself in the foot? You know that I must have found sufficient evidence before I come and tell you,” He Ning said.
“What do you want?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Why don’t we eat while we talk?” He Ning said as he pointed at the private room upstairs.
Qiao Mei pointed at the dishes they had just ordered and said, “Bring these dishes over as well. You pay for the meal today.”
“Sure,” He Ning said with a resigned smile.
The few of them went to the big private room upstairs. Wu Duo and the others felt a little ill at ease and did not know what to say. They were all afraid that if they said anything wrong, they would lose their lives..
