Chapter 2229: Preparations for the Engagement Party

There was only one explanation for this. Qiao Mei was looking for an excuse to be with him! She wanted to hang out with him for a longer period of time!
Daniel looked at Qiao Mei with a burning gaze and Qiao Mei definitely knew what he was up to. However, the most important thing now was not this matter, but where Xia Zhe was being imprisoned.
The moment she entered the villa, she saw Xia Zhe standing on the second floor. The two of them looked at each other and she silently walked in the direction of the garage.
Xia Zhe frowned. In the end, Qiao Mei still came to Alan’s house so willfully. He wanted to scold her for her impulsiveness, but he was also very happy that she loved him so much.
Since Qiao Mei had come to the villa, he wondered if she would come and teach him a lesson when there was no one around at night.
Jessica was very busy today. She had to set up the venue, get fitted for the gown and confirm the guest list for tomorrow. She did not have time to keep an eye on Xia Zhe at all. However, she had six bodyguards following him around all day long. Even if he wanted to run away, he would not have a chance.
“I’m going out,” Xia Zhe said.
“Mr. Fang, I’m afraid that’s impossible. The young lady says that you are only allowed to move around inside the house and not outside,” the bodyguard said.
“You should think carefully about who has the final say in this family. As you can see, I’m marrying your young lady and I will have a say in this family in the future. You will have to take instructions from me. If you offend me now, do you think you will have a good life in the future?” Xia Zhe warned.
The bodyguards were all stunned. They could all tell how Jessica was so persistently attracted to Xia Zhe. They had worked for Alan for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen Jessica risk her life for a man.
“I know you’re in a difficult position. I won’t run away. Do you think the six of you cannot subdue me?” Xia Zhe asked.
“Then where do you want to go, Mr. Fang?” the bodyguard asked.
“There’s nothing interesting outside. I want to go to the garage to take a look. I hear that Daniel and Mr. Alan both like cars very much. I want to go and take a look,” Xia Zhe said.
The bodyguards arranged for someone to go to the garage to put away all the car keys and lock the car doors. They also doubled the amount of security in the garage. After confirming that nothing could go wrong, they brought Xia Zhe to the garage.
Daniel was a little surprised to see Xia Zhe. It seemed that he should not have left things to a piece of trash like Jessica. If Xia Zhe escaped, all their plans would go down the drain.
Xia Zhe was not as simple as he looked. It was said that Xia Zhe was a stowaway and had relied on his intelligence to become the wealthy businessman in Country M. Many organizations had designs on Xia Zhe’s assets, but those organizations disappeared quietly into the night one after another.
Although they did not manage to find out if Xia Zhe knew martial arts, it would actually be more terrifying if he did not.
“Fang Chen, do you like cars too?” Daniel left Qiao Mei on her own and came to Xia Zhe’s side.
“So-so. I just take a look at them occasionally but I don’t know much about them,” Xia Zhe said humbly.
Daniel immediately became enthusiastic. He excitedly explained the performance, structure and characteristics of each car to Xia Zhe. He had memorized the details about every single one of them. He talked for a full two hours before stopping.
“Take a look around. I’ll have some water and take a break,” Daniel said.
Daniel liked colorful cars while Alan preferred black cars. He owned black cars of every car model, but he only drove two of them often.
Qiao Mei kept her distance from Xia Zhe. She was not sure if Daniel could understand their language, nor did she know if Daniel had found out about what happened between her and Xia Zhe in the past.
Most people knew about the ill-fated relationship between Su Rui and Xia Zhe, but not about the story between Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe. This was because Bella and Xia Zhe had erased all traces of Qiao Mei’s appearance in the city during that period of time. Anyone who had seen Qiao Mei that time was either dead or controlled by them.
Even if Qiao Mei stood in front of those people, they had to pretend not to know her. Otherwise, they would go bankrupt and lose their families. They were not so stupid as to give up their lives.
By the time it was nighttime, Jessica was finally done and everyone could have dinner together. Jessica walked over to Xia Zhe, wearing a pure white gown, and asked, “Fang Chen, help me take a look at this gown. Do you like this style?”
Xia Zhe did not even look at Jessica or respond to her question. Jessica felt very awkward. After all, it was not just her family members at the dinner. There was also an outsider, Qiao Mei. It was very embarrassing that Xia Zhe did this to her.
