After Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!

"Um… Eldest Brother, I have something else to trouble you," Qiao Mei said embarrassedly.

"There's no need to stand on ceremony with me. Just say it," Xia Wen said.

"Since I still have to stay in the capital for a few more days and have nothing to do, can you find someone to teach me how to drive? I want to learn how to drive as soon as possible," Qiao Mei said.

Qiao Mei needed an excuse and a way to cover up the fact that she already knew how to drive. Besides, she really wanted to be able to drive around as soon as possible. That would be so convenient. It would not be like now, when she would have to find all kinds of reasons to get help if she wanted to go out.

"Sure, but can't you just ask Chi Ze or one of the guys? Didn't they used to be drivers in the army? He may even have been the team leader!" Xia Wen said.

Qiao Mei slapped her thigh and said, "That's right! How could I have forgotten about this!"

It seemed to be true that women developed brain fog after pregnancy. Back then, Xia Zhe had asked Chi Ze to come to the capital to work because Chi Ze knew how to drive. Even without Chi Ze, both Da Zhuang and Xiao Zhuang stationed at her house were members of the guard team. All the members of the guard team knew how to drive. She could just ask any one of them to teach her!

After having a meal with Xu Lan and the others, Qiao Mei handed the children over to Xu Lan. She wanted to learn how to drive as soon as possible in the next few days and she could not bring them along. Now that Xu Lan was the only one at home and Luo Yu was around to stand guard, there should not be any problems.

Qiao Mei went home by car and saw an uninvited guest standing at the door.

"Why are you standing outside my house? Did you make a wrong turn?" Qiao Mei said bluntly.

"In this alley, I only know your family. How can I be at the wrong place?" He Ning said to Qiao Mei with a grin.

It looked like there was a spy from the He family among the people around Qiao Mei. Otherwise, how could the He family know where she was? She had returned to the capital on a whim today and did not inform the family in advance. It would seem that this spy was either stationed in the guard booth at the entrance of Xu Lan's neighborhood or the military family compound.

"Why are you here?" Qiao Mei asked coldly.

"Is this how you treat me? I'm a guest after all," He Ning said unhappily.

"Only a person who is invited to my house is considered a guest. Firstly, you didn't tell me in advance and secondly, I didn't give you permission to come. So what kind of guest are you? Take care on your way out. I won't send you off!" After saying that, Qiao Mei walked into the courtyard. If Miao Le had said that she wanted to visit her, she might still be able to agree reluctantly. If the person who wanted to visit was He Ning, she definitely would not let him into her house.

He Ning blocked her way and said, "What if I say that I have information about the real mastermind behind the kidnapping of your two children?"

Qiao Mei laughed coldly. She was already showing respect to He Ning by not seeking him out about this matter. She did not expect He Ning to take the initiative to come looking for her now.

She did not believe that He Ning was not involved at all in this matter, but He Ning had indeed done it flawlessly. Xia Mao and Xia Xiu had investigated very thoroughly, but in the end, everything led them to the Du family and there was nothing that pointed to the He family.

However, this modus operandi seemed to fit He Ning's style. He Ning had been active in the capital for so many years and it was not for nothing. Sooner or later, Xia Mao and Xia Xiu would find the evidence to bring He Ning to justice.

"Oh? Don't tell me you know?" Qiao Mei asked.

"I do. I have come here today especially to tell you," He Ning said firmly.

"Then tell me, who is the real mastermind?" Qiao Mei asked curiously.

"I can't tell you here. Let me in and I'll tell you," He Ning said.

Qiao Mei noted the way He Ning kept her in suspense and decided not to argue with him. She would let him take a seat inside.

As soon as He Ning entered, he was attracted by the plants, furnishings and antique calligraphy and paintings in the house. Back then, when he arranged for someone to investigate the secret stash of items underneath this house, the courtyard still looked a little rundown. He did not expect Qiao Mei to have done it up so nicely.

"Where did you get all these things?" He Ning asked.

"They're all from Antique City. If you don't believe me, I can show you all the receipts. Everything is stamped! It's all written in black and white and there's no hanky panky!" Qiao Mei emphasized.

Qiao Mei had not forgotten how He Ning had caused her house to need extensive repairs!
