“It’s really not bad. This name can also mean saving up 100 million! Our small goal is to earn 100 million dollars!” Qiao Mei said excitedly.

“I never even thought of that. Look, it’s as expected of a money- grubber,” Xia Wen said with a smile.

In the end, they decided on the name “Cun Yi n . Qiao Mei even helped Xia Wen and Xia He think of an advertising slogan. Once there was a chance, they would buy an advertisement spot from the television station. Life was beginning to get better for everyone and television would definitely become a must-have item for every family in the future.

Qiao Mei suddenly thought of something. She looked at Xia Wen and asked, “Eldest Brother, have you heard anything about He Mei recently?”

“I’m about to talk to you about this. I’ve been sending people out to secretly investigate He Mei all this while. She was last seen in a small county city where He Ning had arranged for her to be a nurse there. After a few months, she simply disappeared into thin air. No matter how hard my people tried, they couldn’t find any news about He Mei,” Xia Wen said with a slight frown. It was not surprising that they could not find any news since He Ning had kept a close eye on He Mei all this while. During the period when He Mei was pregnant, she did not step out of that house at all. Qiao Mei only happened to find out about He Mei’s location when Tan Jing went to He Nings house that time. Coupled with what Xia Zhe had told her previously, it seemed that He Ning had really put in a lot of effort this time round.

“I actually know where she is, and I also know…” Before Qiao Mei could finish her sentence, there was a knock on the door. The knocking sounded a little different from what they were used to. It was a quiet knock and not hurried at all.

When Xu Kang saw who was outside the door, she was so shocked that she hurriedly ran into the house and said, “Bad news! Bad news! It’s the He family!

“The He family? How many of them?” Xia He asked.

“There’s a man and a woman. The man is He Ning. I don’t know that woman, but she is carrying a child in her arms!” Xu Kang said agitatedly.

There was a child involved again. What kind of attraction did the Xia family have for young children recently? The last time, it was Shao Yin who carried her child here to acknowledge his family. This time, what was He Ning up to? Was he here with a child to acknowledge his family too?

Xia Wen knew that He Ning would not leave without getting what he wanted. He came to the door politely and said to He Ning, “What a rare guest. Come in and have a chat.’

He Ning walked arrogantly and led He Mei to the main hall. The moment he sat down, He Mei said impatiently, “I’m here to give you a child.”

“When did the He family become so poor that they can’t even afford to bring up a child?” Xia He said as she looked at He Mei mockingly.

“This is Xia Zhe’s child! He’s your Xia family’s grandson! Of course he needs to be sent to the Xia family!” He Mei said agitatedly.

Xu Lan swept the glass next to her to the floor and shouted, “What nonsense are you talking about! How can this child be Xia Zhe’s child! My Xia Zhe has been in the army all this while, so how can he have met you? If you want to tell lies, you should come up with a better one!”

“Last year, I was at the same military base as Xia Zhe. At that time, his team set up camp at our hospital. Every night, when there was no one around, he would come and look for me. As time passed, I became pregnant with his child…” He Mei said shyly with a blushing face.

Qiao Mei looked at He Mei and almost burst out laughing. If He Mei knew the truth, would she break down and go crazy? However, she still had to play her part well now and not let He Ning see through her.

She leaned against the chair listlessly and stared intently at the child in He Mei’s arms, as if she was going to cry at any moment. She looked fragile and pitiful, as if she would shatter at a touch.

Recently, she had picked up some of Miss Cui Hua’s acting skills and captured much of the essence. However, she was still not as skilful as Cui Hua and needed to practice more.

He Ning looked at Qiao Mei’s reaction with some satisfaction. He was one step closer to having Qiao Mei become his chef. Two days ago, he had just found out that Xia Zhe’s was on a very dangerous mission this time round and the odds were against him. The probability of him coming back alive was less than 30%. If Xia Zhe’s fate was unknown, then Qiao Mei could unilaterally terminate their relationship as husband and wife. By then, he would be able to persuade Qiao Mei into becoming his chef.

The Xia family members panicked when they saw Qiao Mei’s expression.. If Qiao Mei really divorced Xia Zhe in a fit of anger, it would be a huge loss to their family! Anyone could leave this family, but not Qiao Mei!
