Chapter 2225: Leaving Sky City
Chapter 2225: Leaving Sky City
Editor: Atlas Studios
It was said that the boss of “Sky Eagle” had transported these treasures to an unknown place and buried them. Some people said that it was an isolated island, while others said that it was deep in the mountains and forests. In short, everyone was sure that the treasures existed, but they did not know the exact location.
Xia Zhe was the key to unlocking the location of the treasures! However, the truth was that Xia Zhe did not know anything about the treasures and “Sky Eagle”. No matter how he tried to explain, it was useless. The treasures were also the main reason why Alan wanted Jessica to marry Xia Zhe as soon as possible.
He Ning did not care about how Xia Zhe was going to get himself out of this mess. He just wanted Xia Zhe to be completely trapped overseas. As long as Xia Zhe did not return to the capital, he could try and destroy Xia Zhe’s marriage and be able to get Qiao Mei for himself as soon as possible.
Qiao Mei knew that He Ning was a paranoid person who would not leave Country M just because of a few words from her. Anyway, there was nothing more she could do here and she would only cause trouble for Xia Zhe if she stayed any longer. It was better to leave Sky City first. She booked an early flight for the next day and left without a hitch.
Daniel did not give up on trying to get close to Qiao Mei. He went around asking around about the location of Qiao Mei’s house and was completely dumbfounded when he received the information. He did not expect Qiao Mei to have so many properties and no one knew where she would choose to stay at any one time.
He had no choice but to search the properties one by one. Finally, he found the car he had given Qiao Mei at a villa on a hillside. He heard from the neighbors nearby that Qiao Mei had never stayed the night here and that there was a woman who came and took care of the house. The property looked a little aged, but the interior was very clean.
Since she had so many properties, his car definitely did not interest her. It seemed that she was not a greedy person. If she really wanted money in the first place, she would have asked Alan to pay a ransom in order to get Daniel back.
Thinking of all the things that had happened in the past, Daniel became even more interested in Qiao Mei. He must get his hands on such an interesting woman!
Qiao Mei rushed home and hugged her children. She had not seen them for so many days and missed them very much. The children had a lot of fun with Xia Wan over the past few days.
In the past, Qiao Mei had specially bought two young ponies for Xia Fan and Xia Xing so that they could learn how to ride after they grew up. However, the ponies had grown too big by now and it was too dangerous for the children to ride them. In the end, she had to source for another three young ponies.
“A couple of days ago, I brought the three of them to look at horses. We’ve already made our choice and the horse trader will send them over soon. I’ll teach them personally then,” Gao Long said happily.
He really liked children. In the past, after he lost the ability to walk, he did not even dare to think about getting married at all. He did not want to hold back any girl. Now that he had regained the ability to walk, he wanted to have a family as soon as possible, with a wife he loved and children who resembled him.
During the past few days when Qiao Mei was not around, he had experienced the joy of taking care of children together with Xia Wan. His thoughts of getting married became even more intense and he could not wait to marry Xia Wan immediately!
“I reckon they can only learn for half a month. I only have a one-month visa and we can’t stay in Country M for long,” Qiao Mei said regretfully.
Qiao Mei was no longer an international student and had no reason to stay in Country M for a long time. She did not ask Xia Wen for help with this matter, so the duration of her visa was short.
“Did you manage to see him this time?” Xia Wan asked.
“No,” Qiao Mei said without hesitation.
“No! Why not! Is he avoiding you?” Xia Wan asked in shock.
Xia Wan thought that Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe would have a good talk about this matter and that Xia Zhe would explain to Qiao Mei about the recent news. However, Qiao Mei did not even get to see Xia Zhe! Even though she was his elder cousin, it was hard for her to defend him.
“Don’t worry, Elder Cousin. I know what’s going on.” Qiao Mei did not want Xia Zhe’s recent issue to involve Xia Wan and the others. The fewer people who were aware of it, the better.
Gao Long could tell that Qiao Mei had something on her mind. With his status in the family, it was inconvenient for him to have a heart-to-heart talk with Qiao Mei. After all, they had only become familiar with each other in the past year.
“Qiao Mei, we’ve made a lot of money from the business recently. Go to the study and deal with some paperwork within the next few days. I’ll transfer the bonus payment to your account. Otherwise, we’ll have to wait until I next see you,” Gao Long said.
“Alright. Let’s leave it at that for today. I’ll go and deal with these things tomorrow,” Qiao Mei said with a smile.
At night, Qiao Mei stood by the window and looked in the direction of Sky City. She did not know if Xia Zhe would be able to handle the matter regarding Alan’s family. Alan looked sinister and cunning. Qiao Mei had felt a chill run down her spine the moment she saw him and she felt very uneasy.
Country M was really filled with crouching tigers and hidden dragons. These people were on a completely different level from He Ning.
