Chapter 2217: Collision
Editor: Atlas Studios
The two of them got up to wash up. Qiao Mei looked at herself in the mirror and became quite annoyed. Xia Zhe had gone overboard last night and left marks all over her neck. She could not go out looking like this!
“Look at what you’ve done! How am I going to go out later!” Qiao Mei pointed at her neck and said angrily.
Xia Zhe pretended not to see anything and went downstairs smilingly to make breakfast for Qiao Mei. She had no choice but to take out some ginseng juice and rub it all over her neck. It did not take long for the marks to disappear. After breakfast, Xia Zhe received a call and kooked at Qiao Mei like he was lost for words.
“Don’t tell me that Miss Jessica is looking for you?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Indeed she is. She has called to ask me to go and try on the suit for the wedding, but I didn’t order any! I have no idea about this at all! She is acting on her own accord!” Xia Zhe explained.
His real target was Alan, Jessica’s father. Alan was the largest underground weapons trader in Country M and most of the weapons used in the country came from Alan. He heard that Alan had recently developed a new type of gun that combined the advantages of many different weapons. Once it was released, major changes would be afoot.
Xia Zhe wanted to get the blueprint of the gun from Alan. He wanted to send it back to his home country and let the experts study it to improve the guns they used.
His plan had been proceeding very smoothly, but for some reason, Jessica suddenly wooed him relentlessly and even spread rumors that the two of them were about to get married. Alan doted on his daughter very much. Even if Jessica made a huge mistake, Alan would protect her unconditionally.
“Alright, go and look for your fiancée then. I have other things to do anyway,” Qiao Mei said nonchalantly.
Xia Zhe held Qiao Mei’s hands and said seriously, “Today, I’m going to look for her and clarify this issue. I only have one wife and that’s you. It will only be you. There won’t be anyone else. Don’t joke around like this again.”
Qiao Mei felt better and less jealous. She looked at Xia Zhe and asked, “When exactly will this mission of yours end? Can you refrain from being the bait in a honey trap next time?”
“I’ll try to finish it up soon,” Xia Zhe said with a smile.
After Xia Zhe handed the car keys to Qiao Mei, he left with Xiao Bei. Before the couple parted, they made a date to come home and cook dinner together tonight. He also wanted to teach her ballroom dancing, which was a new dance routine he picked up recently.
Qiao Mei looked at the huge van at the door and did not look happy. This vehicle was really too ugly! Moreover, it looked a little c.u.mbersome. She preferred jeeps.
She drove to the largest car dealers.h.i.+p in Sky City. After looking around for a long time, she decided to buy a silver-white sedan. She suddenly remembered that Xia Zhe had many jeeps in his garage and it was also too eye-catching to drive around in one. It was better to buy a low-profile sedan.
Qiao Mei swiped her own card to pay for the purchase. She intended to go around today to look at all the a.s.sets she had in Sky City. She should tally everything and find an agent to manage them.
Qiao Mei did not have any talent for investment. She only knew that it was a sure win to buy houses and land. In her other life, her best friend married a top businessman who particularly liked to study the real estate market. He was well-versed with the movement of property prices in many different countries and he managed to ride the property wave every time. He made a lot of money this way.
He did not have any other hobbies and only liked to brag about himself in front of others. Qiao Mei had a photographic memory, so she could naturally remember the timings of the few property cycles he mentioned. She did not expect to be able to make use of this information in this life!
The laws here were different from that of her home country. If one’s house was abandoned for a long time and someone else went in to take care of it, the house would be considered that person’s property after 10 years. To prevent that from happening, Qiao Mei could only keep buying houses and renovating them before renting them out. Even if she could not rent them out, she had to use them as shop s.p.a.ce.
She went to buy some gifts for Bella and the girls. There were not many cars on the roads, so Qiao Mei drove a little faster than usual. Suddenly, a red sports car came speeding around the corner and headed straight for Qiao Mei without any intention of avoiding her.
Qiao Mei could not dodge in time and could only turn the steering wheel forcefully. The red sports car crashed into the back of her car and she grabbed the bangle on her left hand with her right hand. The bangle released a huge amount of energy and countless vines wrapped tightly around her, forming a safe spherical s.p.a.ce in the blink of an eye.
The red sports car lost control and crashed into the road divider before coming to a stop. Qiao Mei reabsorbed the energy from the vines and immediately got out to check to see if her car’s fuel tank was damaged. After inspecting the whole car, she felt fortunate that only the back end of the car had been hit and that it was not badly damaged.
