1045 Quarrelsome but Loving Couple



Xia He got a big shock. She patted her chest with her left hand and said, "How do you move so sneakily? I'm just here to watch the fun."

"What fun? I want to watch it too." Qiao Mei also leaned against the pillar and looked in the direction Xia He was facing.

"Don't you think that Qian'e and Zheng Peng are quite compatible? One is a painter and the other one a pianist. There's an artistic aura around the both of them and they look good together too. They're simply a match made in heaven!" Xia He said enviously.

"I think so too," Qiao Mei said with a nod of satisfaction.

With Xia He's eloquence, it was a pity that she was not a wedding organizer. It would not be a bad idea for Xia He to consider becoming a matchmaker after she retired.

Qian'e and Zheng Peng behaved like a quarrelsome but loving couple. Previously, Qiao Mei had tried to ask Zheng Peng indirectly about his opinion of Qian'e. Even though Qian'e was a person who was difficult to get along with, Zheng Peng felt that Qian'e was a nice girl and that it was normal for her to have a bad temper since artists usually had weird temperaments.

When Qiao Mei asked Qian'e the same question, Qian'e gave a completely different answer. She was full of criticism for Zheng Peng, as if Zheng Peng was the worst person in the world. However, when Qiao Mei went along with what she said and complained about Zheng Peng, she would instinctively feel protective of Zheng Peng and wanted to defend his reputation.

The two of them admired each other in their hearts. However, because of their personalities, they did not say it out loud.

"I reckon that Qian'e will invite us to attend her wedding banquet after a while! I have to buy a beautiful dress in support of Qian'e!" Xia He said excitedly.

Qiao Mei felt that the two of them would not end up together. Previously, the distant relative of the Xia family also wanted Qian'e to marry her son, but Qian'e rejected the idea. Zheng Peng was an outstanding person and the only son of the Zheng family. Even if he was fond of Qian'e, his father would not allow him to marry Qian'e.

It would probably be very difficult for the two of them to end up together. However, as the saying went, the road to happiness was full of hardships. If two people were determined to pursue the same goal, they would definitely be able to be together.

"Let's make a bet. I don't think they'll end up together," Qiao Mei said sternly.

"You'll definitely lose! I'll definitely do my best to help them end up together! What's the stack!" Xia He said confidently.

Qiao Mei did not lack anything but she had taken a fancy to a gramophone recently. It had an antique feel that she loved, so she might as well use this as a stake.

"If I win, you have to buy me something I like. If you win, I'll buy you something you like," Qiao Mei said casually.

Xia He was not satisfied with this proposal. Money was something that Qiao Mei did not lack at all. Buying things was not a big deal for her and was not a difficult task at all.

"No, it's meaningless this way. If I win, bring me to your hometown to take a look. I want to go to that mountain of yours to dig for ginseng. If I also find a ginseng that's old enough, I'll become rich too! You have to help me look for it," Xia He said with a laugh.

"No problem, it's a deal!" Qiao Mei said.

Even if Xia He did not mention this, Qiao Mei already had such an intention. She also wanted to ask Xia Wen to come along and she would make sure that the two of them would be able to dig up ginseng. This way, they would have the money to buy their own house near her courtyard house. In the future, the Xia family's three siblings would be able to live here together and there would be very little disparity between them.

It was all calm on Qiao Mei's end, but it was not so peaceful at the Xia family's end. After Liu Fen heard about Xia Mao's accident, she immediately informed Xia Yao and asked him to come back quickly. Given that such a major incident had happened at home, he should come back for a visit.

Xia Guang also made a trip back to the Xia family residence, and he even brought Zhou Hua with him. The issue of her joining forces with the He family was not resolved yet. Xia Guang never managed to find out the whereabouts of the money from Zhou Hua, so he had no choice but to bring her back to face the Xia family's punishment.

The moment Xia Guang got out of the car, he rushed into the house and looked at Xu Lan nervously. "Eldest Sister-in-law! How's my eldest brother! What's the situation now! Is he awake!"

Xu Lan calmed Xia Guang down before saying slowly, "He's fine. He's almost fully recovered now. It's just that he didn't get to sleep well during the mission period so it's inevitable that he's been sleeping more recently."
