Huang Quan immediately looked much better. Not long after that, Luo Yu made a call to them. Huang Quan and Brother Bin informed Luo Yu of the location to drop the money. Brother Bin went with Lao Mo to get the money while Huang Quan and Ah Kun stayed behind in the warehouse.

“Let’s go. The kitchen is at the back,” Huang Quan said as he pointed to a room in the corner.

They had been eating very plain meals here for the past few days. All these men did not know how to cook, so it was already good enough that they could make food that was edible.

Brother Bin and the other two men were often involved in such illegal activities. It was inevitable that they would go hungry when they were on a job. The three of them were very used to such a tough life. If all they had was a live rat when they were hungry, they could eat it without batting an eyelid.

Huang Quan, on the other hand, had lived a life of luxury since he was young and he was definitely not used to this. At home, he would refuse his meals if the ingredients were not fresh enough. However, in order to survive here, he forced himself to eat and drink whatever was put in front of him every day.

Qiao Mei took a look in the kitchen. She could see some basic seasonings, but there were not many ingredients, only cabbages and potatoes. She was not picky though. No matter how ordinary the ingredients were, she could make them into very tasty food.

Looking at Qiao Mei busying herself in front of him, Huang Quan had indecent thoughts again. Qiao Mei had already given birth to three children but she was still so shapely and looked so much better than Tan Jing! Tan Jing looked so haggard and was definitely not comparable to Qiao Mei.

He stared at Qiao Mei lecherously and said, “In my opinion, you might as well be with me. Your husband is not back from the mission even after so many years. It’s hard to say if he’s alive or dead! Besides, it must have been a long time since you’ve slept with a man? Why don’t you divorce him and marry me! I’ll definitely treat you well!”

Qiao Mei said disdainfully, “You should wake up. How can you compare yourself to Xia Zhe? Are you more handsome than him? Do you have a better family background than him? Are you more capable than him? You’re a person who can even go bankrupt doing business with a few moves from me. I’ll starve if I choose you! Only a tramp like Tan Jing would be willing to be with you.”

Ah Kun was standing by the door and he chuckled when he heard what Qiao Mei said. He also felt that Qiao Mei was right. If not for the fact that the Huang family had done Brother Bin a favor in the past and he had in turn pledged his life to Brother Bin, why would he want to help the Huang family?

“You! Don’t be so ungrateful!” Huang Quan said agitatedly.

“Oh, actually that’s not true. After all, Tan Jing’s first husband was Xia Wen. You can’t even compare with Xia Wen’s toenails. Tan Jing only picked you because she had no choice. You’re actually a good-for-nothing,” Qiao Mei said.

Huang Quan raised his hand angrily to hit Qiao Mei, so she quickly knocked on the pot and said, “Do you still want to eat or not!”

The fragrance of the food was starting to whiff out and Huang Quan went from being agitated to feeling happy. It had been a long time since he had eaten delicious food. This smelled even better than the food cooked by the Huang family’s helper!

He turned to Qiao Mei with a much gentler look in his eyes. How could anyone not fall for such a capable and beautiful woman? He had thought that Qiao Mei’s words were very caustic just now, but now, it was as if he was looking at a different person.

When the food was ready, Qiao Mei scooped out a bowl each for Huang Quan and Ah Kun. She was not in any hurry to eat. Instead, she took another bowl of food and went over to Gao Lin, feeding him slowly.

If Qiao Mei had not arrived in time, Gao Lin might have died tonight! However, he also blamed himself a lot because of this. He would rather die than cause Qiao Mei to be in danger.

“I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. If I didn’t trust people so easily, you wouldn’t have been implicated,” Gao Lin said apologetically.

“Granduncle, we’re a family. In this world, your family is Grandfather’s only relative apart from me. No matter how difficult the problem is, I’ll still save you,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.

“You’re a good kid  such a good kid!” Gao Lin said with tears in his eyes.

Huang Quan looked at this touching scene with some envy and disdain. Although he had never lacked food and clothing since he was young, his parents had never paid any attention to him and even felt ashamed of him. His parents only favored their second and third sons. When he was young, he worked very hard to have outstanding results so that his parents would like him. However, no matter how hard he worked, they did not pay any attention to him.

Even when he got first place in his cohort during the examinations, he received less praise than his younger brothers for saying things like, “Dad, Mom, I love you.”
