Chapter 2224: Deep Hatred

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Mei did not expect He Ning to have such a good appetite. He could even eat the disgusting food in Country M. However, when she thought about how he ate medicinal cuisine all year round and how bitter and astringent that food was, she decided to view him as someone who had lost his sense of taste.

“What a coincidence, Mr. He.” Qiao Mei sat directly opposite He Ning, surprising him.

“It’s indeed a coincidence that we meet again. Are you here for a meal?” He Ning asked.

Qiao Mei did not say anything else to He Ning. She called the waitstaff over and ordered all the expensive dishes and wine on the menu, just like the last time she met him.

“Aren’t you going to stop me?” Qiao Mei asked He Ning with a smile.

“The He family is not so poor that I can’t afford to pay for your meal,” He Ning said indifferently.

Qiao Mei looked at He Ning disdainfully and said, “Is the He family very powerful now? Compared to the Qiao Corporation, the He family’s business shouldn’t count for much.”

He Ning looked at Qiao Mei and smiled. In his eyes, he did not feel like Qiao Mei was provoking him by doing this, but more like she was “acting coquettishly” with him. He really liked Qiao Mei’s personality.

It was a good thing that Qiao Mei did not know what He Ning was thinking. Otherwise, she would definitely scold him for being a “pervert” with bad taste! At the same time, she would feel worried that he would feel good to get a good scolding from her.

“How long are you going to be here? It’s been almost half a month. Don’t tell me Huo Gao is not worried about you?” Qiao Mei probed.

He Ning narrowed his eyes and looked at Qiao Mei. He did not know if she was just curious or if she was here to gather information for Xia Zhe. However, given that Xia Zhe was so prim and proper, he definitely would not tell her anything about his mission. She probably did not know anything about it.

“I’m not as busy as you. I can stay here as long as I want. Can I take it that you’re being concerned about me?” He Ning asked happily.

Qiao Mei threw the napkin in her hand to the side and said, “Don’t tell me you have eaten something wrong and your brain is damaged. Why will I care about you? I only care about when you’re going to die. Actually, I think that you look very pale and come over to gloat.”

“I don’t think there’s any deep hatred between us. If possible, I hope we can get along with each other well,” He Ning said.

“Do you have some misunderstanding about the definition of deep hatred? You’ve done so much to me and yet you expect me to be grateful to you like you’re my benefactor? It’s already good enough that I’m still willing to talk to you! Back then, you wanted to get He Mei pregnant with Xia Zhe’s child. Have you ever thought about what would happen to my children if you really managed to do that?” Qiao Mei said as she stared at He Ning in disgust.

Her beautiful eyes were filled with anger and hatred at this moment. He Ning looked at Qiao Mei dejectedly and said, “I’m sorry, I really went overboard in this matter.”

Qiao Mei was slightly stunned. She did not expect He Ning to apologize and she was caught by surprise. This matter had happened a long time ago. Although she was very angry at that time, He Mei had also paid a painful price, so Qiao Mei did not intend to pursue the matter anymore. She just wanted He Ning to believe that she still hated the He family.

“Forget it, forget it. I’m not here to denounce you. Don’t ruin my good mood,” Qiao Mei said as she waved her hand.

He Ning continued to observe Qiao Mei’s every move. The matter between Jessica and Xia Zhe had spread like wildfire throughout the city. As long as Qiao Mei picked up a newspaper, she would be able to find news of Xia Zhe. Did Qiao Mei know about what Xia Zhe had done or not?

Just as He Ning was about to take out the newspaper from his bag and show it to Qiao Mei, she suddenly said, “I still have to go and check on my businesses. I’ve been so busy recently that I don’t have time to rest. Eat well, I’ll take this wine with me.”

Qiao Mei picked up the wine bottle and left the hotel. He Ning looked at Qiao Mei’s departing figure in a daze. It seemed that Qiao Mei really did not know what Xia Zhe was doing here.

The truth was that He Ning also had a hand in all these. He had discovered business opportunities overseas very early on, but most of his businesses were in Country F. His businesses were not very big and were not as impressive as what Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei had.

He had to probe around secretly for a long time before he found out about Xia Zhe’s location and mission. After that, he spread rumors everywhere that Xia Zhe was the descendant of the boss of the defunct organization from the last century, “Sky Eagle”.

In the past, “Sky Eagle” committed all kinds of crimes and many people died tragically in their hands. However, a battle between the various organizations caused “Sky Eagle” to disappear without a trace. Many people who had a grudge against “Sky Eagle” were still looking for the whereabouts of its boss.

Part of the reason was for revenge, but part of the reason was for the treasures which “Sky Eagle” had stolen back then.
