Chapter 1774 Gold Bangles
“What has it got to do with me whether you go back or not? Your family matters have nothing to do with me! Don’t bother me!” After thinking for a long while, Huang Quan took out 200 dollars and threw the money at Tan Jing. “Is it because you’re short of money! This should be enough for you! Get out of my sight quickly!”
Tan Jing held back her anger. She had come to reveal information about Qiao Mei to Huang Quan. She could not let all her efforts over the past few days go to waste. She was still waiting to watch a good show! Before the show started, she could tolerate anything.
“I still have money. I’m not here to ask you for money. I just want you to come back with me to visit my parents. By the way, about that cousin of mine, I gave her a call yesterday and happened to mention that luxury car we saw. She actually told me that she has seen it before!” Tan Jing said in a nonchalant manner.
Huang Quan immediately perked up and asked excitedly, “Where did your cousin see it?”
“She said that she saw it at her school gate. She’s currently studying at Sixth High. I think the owner of the car is in the same class as my cousin. I don’t know that person’s name though. I have to go back and ask my cousin for more details,” Tan Jing said.
Huang Quan immediately picked up his car keys and said, “Let’s go! We’ll go back to the capital now!”
Tan Jing had already expected this outcome and packed her luggage before coming here. How could she take the train back to the capital alone? People would laugh at her!
Jiang Yi was looking forward to Tan Jing getting married. She had always wanted to sell Tan Jing quickly for a good bride price. After all, this was going to be the infertile Tan Jing’s second marriage. Who would still want such a woman? It would be like buying an old hen which could not lay eggs.
Jiang Yi did not expect Tan Jing to be so capable as to suddenly become the fiancée of the capital’s police chief! Nowadays, Tan Jing had a chauffeur to send her around and every time she went out, she would come back with loads of things! Moreover, her clothes and bags were all branded goods! These were things that they had never seen before! She lived better than when she was married to Xia Wen!
The Tan family knew that Huang Quan was not as good a person as Xia Wen, but Xia Wen was thrifty and upright and never let them take advantage of him. Huang Quan was different. During this period of time, he had already bought at least 600 dollars worth of things for them!
If Tan Jing’s relatives and acquaintances knew that she had taken the train home alone this time, they would laugh their heads off! For the sake of her reputation, she must use the information about Qiao Mei to manipulate Huang Quan.
After returning to the capital, Tan Jing told Huang Quan where Qiao Mei was studying as well as her surname. Huang Quan staked out the entrance of Sixth High and waited there day and night until he finally saw Qiao Mei coming out of school one day.
Qiao Mei was surrounded by people who kept asking her questions. It had become very difficult for Qiao Mei to make her way to Xia Fang’s house. A walk that used to take her five minutes now took her half an hour.
After the crowd dispersed, Qiao Mei strode briskly to her car. She suddenly heard Huang Quan’s voice behind her. “What a coincidence to meet you here.”
She already knew about Huang Quan checking on her car, but she did not expect him not to learn his lesson even after being fined 10,000 dollars. He still chased her all the way here.
Huang Quan, on the other hand, was only curious about Qiao Mei’s background. This was the hospital’s family compound. How could a doctor manage to bring up a daughter who drove a luxury car?
Qiao Mei could not be bothered with Huang Quan and prepared to drive away from the neighborhood. She did not expect Huang Quan to stand in front of the car and block her way.
“Are you sick of living?” Qiao Mei stuck her head out and asked.
Huang Quan took out a box from his pocket unhurriedly. There was a pair of gold bangles inside. The two bangles weighed a total of 80 grams! These were even heavier than typical bangles included in a bride’s dowry.
“Miss Qiao, I still want to buy that pair of silver bangles from you. Since you don’t want money, I will use this pair of gold bangles to exchange for them,” Huang Quan said sincerely to Qiao Mei.
The neighbors all came over to watch the commotion. Even the Qian family members were there. Everyone’s attention was drawn to the gold bangles in Huang Quan’s hand, but Qiao Mei was more curious about why Huang Quan knew her surname.
“Zhao Ni, is this little girl very close to your daughter? Aren’t you going to ask her why your daughter hasn’t been home for so long?” a neighbor looked at Zhao Ni and asked.
