Chapter 1728 Xia Wen’s Ex-wife
This was strange. For a long time, Qiao Mei had asked Yao Nian to collect information on people related to the Xia family as well as gossip about the prominent families in the capital. Tan Jing was on her list.
After Xia Wen and Tan Jing divorced, Jiang Yi kept insisting that Tan Jing get married again. Tan Jing also had the same intention. After all, she was only in her early 30s and did not want to stay single for the rest of her life. With her ability, there was no way she could support herself. She had to find someone to support her.
Jiang Yi did not care about the kind of person her future son-in-law was. It was good for her as long as he could give them money. It would be best if he could give her a betrothal gift of a few thousand dollars!
However, Tan Jing could not accept it. She had already enjoyed the glorious experience of being Mrs. Xia for so many years. How could she be willing to marry into an unknown and down-and-out family? Even if she had to remarry, she must marry someone with status in the capital! She could not let the Xia family look down on her!
There were not many wealthy men in the capital who were in their 30s and still single. Moreover, Tan Jing had already been married before. Which rich family would be willing to let her marry into the family? In addition, Tan Jing had not taken good care of herself over the years. If Xu Lan stood next to her, people would say that she was Xu Lan's elder sister!
"What do you think she's doing at the He residence?" Qiao Mei muttered to herself as she stared at Tan Jing.
"Likely doing something to target our family. Wait for me in the car. I'll go down and take a look. If anyone from the He family comes over, you should drive home immediately. I'll go back on my own." Xia Zhe quietly got out of the car and slowly went near the He family's nursery. When no one was paying attention, he sneaked into He Ning's property.
Qiao Mei was not at all worried that Xia Zhe would get discovered by the He family. With Xia Zhe's ability, it was definitely impossible for such a thing to happen. She quietly threw a vine seed into the soil and slowly urged it to grow underneath He Ning's house. She maneuvered the vine to a corner of the house to observe the He Ning family's every move.
Tan Jing strode confidently towards the backyard of the nursery. Two guards suddenly came out and blocked her way.
"Stop! Our backyard is not open to outsiders. This is private property. If you want to buy fruit trees, you should go back around and take a look," a guard said politely to Tan Jing.
"I'm not here to buy fruit trees. I'm He Ning's friend. I have something urgent to talk to him about," Tan Jing said calmly.
The guards sized Tan Jing up. They had never seen this woman before when they had been working here for more than three years. As the He family's guards, the first thing they had to do was to remember the photos and names of all the prominent people in the capital. Tan Jing was not among these people.
Furthermore, Tan Jing was dressed too shabbily. The people who came to look for He Ning were usually rich or of n.o.ble status. They were either wealthy businessmen from the capital or people in high positions in the government. They were all dressed very well. After standing guard at the door of He Ning's house for so long and having met so many people, the guards were able to read situations better than ordinary people. They could tell at a glance what a person's status was.
"Sir is not at home today. Please leave," the guard said.
"I know that He Ning is at home. I specially asked around before I came. I have something important to tell He Ning. Go in and inform him that… Xia Wen's ex-wife is here," Tan Jing said awkwardly.
Xia Wen from the Xia family? The two guards looked at each other. They knew this person. The He family and the Xia family had been on bad terms for a long time. If the ex-Mrs. Xia was looking for He Ning at this time, perhaps it was for something important? After considering for a long time, they decided to give Tan Jing access. Tan Jing never dreamed that she would have to use the Xia family's name in order to see He Ning.
"Wait here for a moment. I'll go in and check." The guard ran towards He Ning after saying that.
He Ning lay lazily on the sofa and enjoyed his rest time. All the recent stormy incidents had died down. It was rare that he did not have anything to do and could have a good rest. Tan Jing's arrival was going to ruin his beautiful day.
"Sir, there's a person outside the door who claims to be Xia Wen's ex-wife. She says that she has important information for you," the guard said respectfully.
"Huh? Let her in," He Ning said with a resigned sigh.
He got up and asked the helper to bring him a blanket to cover his legs. He leaned back comfortably on the sofa and waited for Tan Jing to enter.
