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.
Qiao Mei almost laughed. Was he really sending them good wishes?
Tan Jings expression darkened and Huang Quan began to feel a little puzzled.
He thought that Tan Jing had used some kind of benefit to exchange for He Ning to help her marry into the Huang family. Now, it seemed more like He
Ning had a hold over Tan Jinga
If that was the case, then why did He Ning want Tan Jing marry him? Could it be… could it be that He Ning wanted to get rid of the Huang family! In that case, He Ning could kill two birds with one stone and get everything he wan ted effortlessly.
What a scheming person… What an underhanded tactic…
Huang Quan was so frightened that he broke out in cold sweat. He Ning did not care about any of this. The fact that Qiao Mei was there made it impossible for him to pay attention to anyone else. He stared at Qiao Mei and said, ‘I l have an important piece of information to tell you. I wonder if you want to know?”
Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows and looked at He Ning as she asked, “What type of information?”
“I’m afraid you won’t be able to get into Capital University because your examination papers will be burned to ashes tonight,” He Ning said.
“What do you mean!” Qiao Mei questioned loudly.
Qiao Mei’s strange behavior attracted the attention of Wu Duo and the others. The four of them immediately rushed to Qiao Mei’s side, pointed at He Ning and shouted, “Stay away from our teacher!”
They knew that they could not afford to offend this person in front of them, but if he was bullying Qiao Mei, they must protect her. Without Qiao Mei, they would not be where they were today. Today, even if the person in front of them could cause them to completely disappear from the capital, they would not back away.
“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..
