Chapter 2328: First-Meeting Gift
Editor: Atlas Studios
After Qiao Mei and Xia He got out of the car, the driver slowly unloaded the luggage and then went to park the car. The drivers here had a lot of free time at work. After all, Qiao Mei did not go out much.
The moment Wang Kun saw Qiao Mei, he kept staring at her sneakily, especially at Qiao Mei’s bosom. He could not take his eyes off her at all.
Qiao Mei said in disgust, “Mr. Wang, are your eyes attached to me? What exactly is there on my body that makes you look at me like this?”
“No, nothing!” Wang Kun said in a panic.
Hearing Qiao Mei’s voice, Xia Yuan walked out of the house happily. He acted as if he did not see Wang Kun and Wang Tian and said with a grin, “Third Cousin-in-law, Second Cousin, you’re finally back. Quick, come in to take a look. Zhou Xi and Grandpa Qiao are playing chess! This is the first time I’ve seen Grandpa Qiao having a hard time!”
Xia He covered her mouth and chuckled. Anyone who knew how to play chess would be able to win against Qiao Qiang, even though Qiao Qiang’s chess skills had improved a lot compared to when he was in Foshan Village. Zhou Xi came from a family with a long history and their ancestors were all very scholarly. The Zhou family was actually quite on par with Mo Zhu’s family, it was just that the Zhou family kept a very low profile.
“You can’t win against my grandfather because you’re not good at chess,” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
“Brother Xia Yuan, long time no see!” Wang Tian said as she walked forward excitedly and grabbed Xia Yuan’s sleeve.
Before Xia Yuan could speak, a female voice sounded behind him. “Xiao Yuan, Grandpa Qiao is calling for you.”
“Well... I really like Sister Qiao Mei and I admire you a lot! You don’t know this, but when I was in school, I had always thought of you as my role model! I respect you very much! That’s why I want to meet with you properly!” Wang Tian said solemnly.
Qiao Mei chuckled and said, “It’s tradition that one brings a first-meeting gift during the first formal visit. So... what have you brought?”
Wang Tian and Wang Kun had come empty-handed and did not have anything with them. It was their mother who had asked them to come and they did not know anything about bringing a first-meeting gift.
“Uh... the two of us had left in a hurry and forgot all about it. We’ll definitely make up for it the next time!” Wang Kun said awkwardly.
“I’m not an unreasonable person. We are not really that well acquainted, so there’s no need for a next time,” Qiao Mei said.
“Sister Qiao Mei! Can I be your friend?” Wang Tian asked excitedly.
“I don’t socialize and don’t like to make friends. Since you admire me, then you can continue to admire me,” Qiao Mei said.
“Even if I admire you, we can still be friends! It’s not conflicting!” Wang Tian continued.
Qiao Mei held her forehead and said resignedly, “I’ve already said that I don’t like to make friends. It’s your business what you want to think of me. I’m sorry, but I have guests at home today and it’s not convenient for me to continue hosting you.”
Qiao Mei’s intention was very clear. She was chasing them out. Wang Kun looked very unhappy. After all, their Wang family was the owner of the largest bun shop in the entire capital. Although they were not as influential as the Xia family, they were still considered part of the upper class. How could Qiao Mei treat them like this!
Wang Tian smiled and said, “It’s our fault for not calling in advance. Can we exchange phone numbers then?”
