Xia Zhe was still chatting happily with the man beside him. The next moment, when he looked up and saw Qiao Mei, he felt as if his blood froze.
Why is Qiao Mei here? She should be in the capital now, right? She should be studying in Capital University at this time, right? Are the children in the capital or are they here with her? Does Xia Wen know about this?
Xia Zhe had so many questions to ask Qiao Mei, but he could not blow his cover. He just stared at Qiao Mei quietly and did not say anything.
When the man beside Xia Zhe saw the look in Xia Zhe’s eyes, he turned to look as well. This was the first time he had seen such a beautiful woman. Actually, it was also the first time Xia Zhe had seen Qiao Mei so heavily made up.
The cosmetics produced in this era were not of very good quality and there was a high possibility that some of the ingredients might cause harm to children. In addition, wearing tight clothes when pregnant was not good for the baby. Therefore, Qiao Mei had always been bare-faced and dressed simply in front of Xia Zhe.
“Miss, are you here alone?” Yang Tian asked as he looked at Qiao Mei.
“What does that have to do with you? Croupier, let’s start!” Qiao Mei said impatiently.
Her gaze did not linger on Xia Zhe at all, nor did she appear to have any intention to acknowledge him. This made Xia Zhe quite pleased. His wife was indeed the embodiment of intelligence and beauty. She was aware of the situation even without needing him to tell her anything.
The woman next to him, Su Rui, was the real problem here. He gently pulled his arm out of her embrace and she quickly hugged him tightly again. She stared at Qiao Mei with a look of hatred and whispered, “We can’t be apart yet. Don’t tell me you’ve taken a fancy to that woman? Be careful of your cover!”
“You’d better not make me lose my temper here. 1 can do anything to you. Do you need me to repeat the reason why I let you stay by my side back then?” Xia Zhe said firmly as he pulled his arm out of her embrace again.
Su Rui sat next to Xia Zhe aggrievedly. It must be that woman! The moment this woman appeared, Xia Zhe’s attitude towards her changed. Even Yang Tian, who was beside him, was very attracted to this woman. This woman was a jinx!
Qiao Mei kept her hand on the edge of the table. She won every game since she joined the table. When she started, she only had 1,000 dollars in chips, but now she already had 20,000 dollars’ worth. She had Yang Tian, the foolish and rich dimwit, to thank for it.
“Miss, you’re quite lucky. May I ask for your name? Let’s be friends,” Yang Tian asked tentatively.
Qiao Mei looked at Yang Tian without saying anything. When she saw the woman leaning into Xia Zhe’s arms again, she could not help but feel a little annoyed. She smiled sweetly and said, “I just got lucky. My surname is Pu.”
“May I know your full name, Miss?” Yang Tian continued to ask.
“Pu Nan,” Qiao Mei said as she casually made up a name.
“Pu Nan! What a nice name! As expected, a beautiful woman will have a beautiful name. My name is Yang Tiana How about I treat you to a drink after the game?” Yang Tian asked.
Xia Zhe frowned slightly and said, ‘Yang Tian, it’s almost the time of your curfew. If you’re late, your father won’t let you off.”
“What’s there to be afraid of! Don’t I still have you to cover for me? Otherwise, do you think I’m willing to come out with you? Do you still want to work with my father! If you want to work with him, you have to listen to me!” Yang Tian said arrogantly.
Qiao Mei looked at Xia Zhe!s defeated expression and smiled. She asked curiously, “Mr. Yang, is the person next to you your older brother? He’s so strict with you.”
“Tsk! He’s not my older brother. If I have an older brother like him, I’d rather not be born!” Yang Tian said disdainfully.
“In that case, I wonder what’s this gentleman’s name?” Qiao Mei asked.
“My surname is Fang. Fang Chen,” Xia Zhe said coldly.
“Hey! Alright, alright! Let’s play!” Yang Tian said hurriedly.
After a few rounds, Qiao Mei won even more money. She had already won 12 consecutive rounds and the rest of the players had lost so much money that they stopped playing and left. Only Yang Tian, Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei were left at the table.
“Let’s go. You don’t have any chips left,” Xia Zhe said as he stood up.
Yang Tian did not want to leave. He did not want to let go of such a beautiful woman. He must get this woman today! It did not matter if he had to spend some money to do that..
