880 Finding a Reason to Visit
“Are you going or not?” He Ning threatened.
“No, I’m not. There’s no money in the company. Your second brother and nephew are not the nicest people. I’m afraid of getting beaten up. I’m not going,” Huo Gao said fearfully.
“Didn’t you tell me that we have prepared 600,000 dollars? Where did all that money go?” He Ning asked as he looked at Huo Gao suspiciously.
Huo Gao was so angry that he flailed his hands on the spot and almost yelled at He Ning.
“Do you think the company can buy goods without using money! Eldest young master, how long has it been since you dealt with the company’s matters! Anyway, I’m just not going. If you want, you can go and talk to He Wei yourself. It took me a lot of effort to get150,000 dollars from him the last time,” Huo Gao said.
He Ning sighed resignedly. So there was no way he could send money to Qiao Mei. Then what excuse could he use to visit her?
Perhaps he could send some supplements and tonics to Qiao Mei? However, the Xia family did not lack anything. The Xia family might not allow Qiao Mei to eat the tonics he sent. It would be a waste to buy those.
Then what about sending Qiao Mei something for the children? However, if he really sent something, Xia Zhe would probably come back from the army unit immediately and question him about his intentions.
He had heard that Xu Lan valued these two grandchildren very much. Whatever he bought would probably be thrown away before they could reach Qiao Mei.
If he gave any other presents, it would seem too deliberate and make him look like he had ulterior motives. He really did not want to face Xia Wen’s dark expression. Every time he saw it, he would get a headache.
If this cannot be done and that is not possible, then how can I go to Qiao Mei’s place to freeload… ah no… how can I go to Qiao Mei’s place to visit her.
“Do you need a reason to do things? Can’t you just go there directly?” Huo Gao muttered softly.
He Ning immediately looked at Huo Gao with admiration. That was true! When did he, He Ning, need a reason to do things! He decided to arrange for a car to go to Qiao Mei’s place now!
“Let’s go! Go and get those dead flowers from our house and we’ll send them to Qiao Mei,” He Ning said.
Even if He Ning could not fork out a large sum of money for now, he could still afford the cultivation fees for these few pots of flowers. At least now he had a reason to look for her.
Huo Gao asked He Ning’s attendant to come over and tell him about He Ning’s arrangements in detail. After that, Huo Gao rushed back to his own home. It was such an embarrassing thing to go to Qiao Mei’s house to freeload. It was enough for him to do it once or twice. How could he go along every time!
He Ning could go ahead and not care about his own reputation, but Huo Gao still cared about his own!
He Ning did not care about who went with him as long as he could go. They reached Qiao Mei’s house very quickly, but no one answered the door even after a long time.
“Mr. He, there’s no one in the house,” the attendant said softly.
He Ning turned around and asked the chauffeur to drive the car to Li Gui’s house. If Qiao Mei was not at her own house, there was a high chance that she was at Li Gui’s house.
After getting out of the car, He Ning stood at the door and waited for his attendant to knock on the door. The man called out for a long time but no one answered. By now, He Ning gradually frowned.
Zhang Qin stood in the courtyard and stared vigilantly at the main door. After listening for a long time, she entered the house to look for Qiao Mei and said, “Elder sister! There’s a man outside the door! It doesn’t seem to be that old grandma!”
“A man? Did he say anything?” Qiao Mei asked.
“He said something about He or something? I can’t hear him clearly,” Zhang Qin said.
One would never visit unless one needed something. It must not be anything good if He Ning had time to come by.
“Don’t open the door. No matter how they yell out, don’t open the door,” Qiao Mei said.
Zhang Qin ran out to share the information with her other siblings and they all returned to their rooms to study. Not long after, the knocking on the door stopped.
The attendant could tell that He Ning was not in a good mood. He came forward cautiously and said, “Mr. He, no one is answering the door.”
Old Madam Fan stood in the distance and observed He Ning for a long time. Although this person was dressed very plainly, she could still recognize the brand of the car. It was very expensive! She had always heard her next-door neighbor talking about the son’s luxury car that was worth tens of thousands of dollars! She could not remember the name of the brand, but she remembered that there was a shiny snake logo on it.
These people must be Qiao Mei’s enemies too! Otherwise, why would she not answer the door after these people shouted for so long!
As the saying went, the enemy of an enemy was a friend! If the two of them joined forces, they could definitely defeat Qiao Mei! At that time, Qiao Mei would have to give her family as much money as they wanted!
She would not write off the medical fees she had spent on her two sons’ injuries! She must let everyone know something. On this street! In this alley! No one could provoke her, Old Madam Fan!
