1694 Mad Dog

Qiao Mei's sense of coordination and intelligence level were out of many people's league. She was thousands of times better than some of the soldiers he knew. Then again, there were also benefits to not being a soldier.

After learning how to drive, Qiao Mei drove around to explore the capital. She even went to pick Xia He up from work!

"Xia He, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you going on a date with a man?" Li Hua said sarcastically.

Ever since Xia He got married, she looked rosy and radiant every day. It was as if she had reverted to being 18 years old. The rest had been colleagues with Deng Fan before and everyone knew what a nice person he was.

He was handsome, had a good family background, had a good personality and was also a gentleman. Most importantly, he was a very motivated person! This was the rare part!

In the past, Xia He looked very haggard every day and seemed to have aged a lot. Now, she looked like a completely different person!

Ever since that musical performance, Xia He had become famous overnight. Many people lined up at the entrance of the art troupe just to catch a glimpse of her.

For performers like them, their "flowering period" was very short , usually between the ages of 15 to 25. Once they became older, it would become difficult for them to gain fame. No one expected Xia He to be so well-liked even though she was in her 30s.

"Xia He, ignore her. She's just a mad dog! She goes around biting people and can't stand to see others doing well!" Bai Dian said to Xia He after glaring at Li Hua.

"Who are you calling a mad dog!" Li Hua shouted as she pointed at Bai Dian.

"I'm talking about whoever responds to me. It's really strange to be able to see a ghost in broad daylight. In the past, I've only seen people fishing for money, but I've never seen anyone trying to fish for a scolding! It's really an eye-opener for me today," Bai Dian said to everyone.

Everyone laughed and waited to see Li Hua make a fool of herself.

Li Hua stomped her feet in anger. Every time she spoke, Bai Dian would scold her. It was as if Bai Dian was her arch nemesis!

Soon, it was time to get off work. Everyone rushed to the door like a swarm of bees, wanting to see if Deng Fan had come to pick Xia He up today or if any of Xia He's suitors had come to confess their love for her.

"Wow, Xia He, which suitor is this! Driving such a nice car?" Li Hua shouted loudly. The people passing by heard her and stopped in their tracks, waiting to watch the commotion.

For a moment, Xia He did not know who this person was. She had never seen this car before.

Qiao Mei rolled down the window and whistled at Xia He before shouting, "Pretty girl! Do you want me to give you a lift!"

"Oh my goodness! Why are you here!" Xia He ran to Qiao Mei excitedly, ignoring her colleagues who were standing behind her in surprise.

"Who is this person?"

"It's a woman driving such a nice car! This is the first time I've seen a woman drive!"

"What exactly is their relationship? They look like sisters. The woman in the car is so beautiful, even more beautiful than Xia He."

"Look at that car. I hear from my relatives that there are only 10 such cars in the country! It's exactly the same as the country leader's car! She's probably not someone ordinary!"

Everyone discussed animatedly, all of them curious about Qiao Mei's identity. Some people said that Qiao Mei was the daughter of some prominent family in the capital, while others guessed that Qiao Mei was the wife of some official. There were many different opinions, but no conclusion.

"It must be some official's mistress! She's so good-looking, she must be a kept woman!" Li Hua said as she looked at Qiao Mei with a lot of jealousy.

"Do you use your brain before you talk? Why does every person look sleazy in your eyes? Open your useless eyes and take a good look! That person is Xia He's sister-in-law," Bai Dian explained resignedly.

"Sister-in-law! What does her sister-in-law do! She can actually drive such a nice car!" a woman behind Bai Dian said in surprise.

"Hmph. If you ask me, it must be her husband who's capable," Li Hua said with jealousy.

Bai Dian rolled her eyes at Li Hua and said, "Her sister-in-law is the director of the Osmanthus Food Factory. Recently, she collaborated with the country and accepted a large field for planting test crops. She is bringing glory to the country, but what about you? What have you done with your life?"

Li Hua was so angry that she did not say a word. Her husband was a good-for-nothing! It was already good enough that he did not use her salary to go and gamble! What could they have done!
