1314 Visiting the Zheng Family
“Then do you plan to continue to run the business with me?” Qiao Mei asked. She still felt that it was a pity for Qian’e not to continue to be a piano teacher.
“Let me think about it again. I plan to take a break after I earn enough money. Then I can teach the children in the alley for free every day. When the time comes, they’ll all have to call me Professor Qian!” As Qian’e imagined the beautiful life she could have in the future, Qiao Mei caught a glimpse of the light in her eyes again.
“No problem! Then I’ll just buy a few more houses. When the time comes, I’ll raise the price and earn a huge sum from you!” Qiao Mei said jokingly.
“I definitely won’t give you this chance. I’ll own one before you can buy it all!” Qian’e said domineeringly.
“Then I look forward to your performance!” Qiao Mei said.
Qiao Mei woke Xia Zhe up early the next morning. She told him she wanted to pay the Zheng family a visit.
“Xia Zhe, wake up!” Qiao Mei said as she pushed Xia Zhe forcefully.
Xia Zhe buried his head in the blanket and turned around to stick his face to the wall, like an ostrich burying its head into the ground and keeping quiet. No matter what Qiao Mei did, he refused to come out.
Qiao Mei had no choice but to use her killer move. She slowly leaned close to Xia Zhe’s ear and said softly, “Hubby, come with me~ I don’t know anyone from the Zheng family. It’ll be so awkward for me to go alone. Can you accompany me~”
When Xia Zhe heard Qiao Mei’s coquettish tone of voice, his whole body felt weak and his ears turned red.
“Fine, fine, fine! I really can’t stand you being like this. You’re really like my little ancestor,” Xia Zhe got up and looked at Qiao Mei helplessly.
Qiao Mei jumped up and down on the floor excitedly. As she jumped, she shouted, “Oh yeah! Hubby says yes! That’s great! Hubby is the best husband in the world! I love my hubby the most!”
Xia Zhe’s face also started to turn red. He looked like a well-cooked shrimp dumpling that was about to emit steam. He had never heard of anyone’s wife being as bold as Qiao Mei, always using the word love.
Xu Kang was doing the cleaning outside and happened to hear a few words of their conversation. She hurriedly ran elsewhere to do the cleaning. Only a young person dared to be so explicit!
The reason why Qiao Mei wanted to go to the Zheng family’s house was to persuade Zheng Peng to let go of the relationship. Zheng Peng was her four siblings’ benefactor. As the saying went, one’s teacher for even a day was like one’s father for a lifetime. Qiao Mei could not just watch Zheng Peng walk into a dead end.
They went out to buy many gifts and then headed to the Zheng family residence. Qiao Mei also had a bottle of diluted 100-year-old ginseng juice in her pocket. She did not know how serious Zheng Peng’s condition was, but perhaps the ginseng juice could save his life? Everything was still unknown at the moment.
“When you go in later and meet Uncle Zheng, you must greet him properly. Just follow my lead and address him as Mentor,” Xia Zhe instructed.
Actually, Xia Zhe was also feeling quite nervous. The last time he came back to visit Zheng Su, he was rejected at the door. He did not know if it would end the same way this time. He thought that since Qiao Mei was with him, the family might open the door for them.
It was Sun Dai who came out to greet them. When she saw Xia Zhe, she smiled and said, “Xiao Zhe, long time no see. Come in, your mentor is at home.”
“Hello, Madam. This is my wife, Qiao Mei,” Xia Zhe said formally.
Qiao Mei immediately said obediently, “Hello, Madam!”
Sun Dai had heard of Qiao Mei before. She did not have a very natural expression on her face, but she still spoke to Qiao Mei out of courtesy, “Hello, come in.”
Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei entered the Zheng family’s living room while holding hands, without a care that they were in the presence of other people. Zheng Su was sitting on the sofa and when he looked up and saw the two of them, he snorted coldly.
“It’s improper to behave so intimately in broad daylight! How outrageous! How can I have a student like you!” Zheng Su said angrily.
“I’m sorry for making Mentor troubled,” Xia Zhe said shamefully.
“Isn’t it good for him to see his mentee have a happy family? Is your mentor allergic to other people’s happiness? It’s like this for Zheng Yuan and it’s the same for Zheng Peng. It’s also the same for you now. He’s so weird,” Qiao Mei muttered softly.
Zheng Su had very sharp hearing. When he was in the army, he was known as “sharp ears”. He heard everything that Qiao Mei said but he did not want to argue with a little girl. Thus, he just silently stared at the television in front of him, completely ignoring Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei.
“Take a seat.” Sun Dai brought over two chairs for them. After all, they were guests and she did not want to make things too awkward for them.
