“That’s true! The farm is still here! I’ve also invested in Gao Mings company! The property will also give me profits every year! I can’t give up such a good chance to make money! I’ll go and buy the house now!” Xia He said excitedly.
Xia He immediately bought the mansion next to Qiao Mei’s mansion in the town center. This way, they would be neighbors no matter where they lived.
Time flew by and in the blink of an eye, Qiao Mei was about to graduate. During this year, Gao Ming had opened six subsidiary companies in other cities one after another. The Gao family’s frozen dumplings business was getting bigger and bigger and Gao Ming began to try making other types of frozen foodstuffs. Xia He also bought another three farms. All of them made a lot of money.
Xia Zhe was very busy with his business as well as his missions in Sky City.
Whenever he was free, he would come to the small town to spend a few days with Qiao Mei. The two of them still spent less time together than apart, but they did not find it a chore. After all, they could be together officially soon!
Auntie Wang and Auntie Zhang had already started to pack up for Qiao Mei and the others. They were going to bring the children back to the capital soon. The Xia family already knew about this and they had long made preparations for this day.
“Grandfather, do we want to go back and take a look too?” Gao Ming asked.
Gao Lin fell silent. Where could they go even if they went back? The Gao family’s house had long been sold off. If they went back now, they would not even have a place to stay. They did not even have any more relatives there.
However, he felt like going back to take a look at his hometown. More than anything, he wanted to visit Gao Tao’s grave and tell her about what had happened to the Gao family all these years.
“Since there’s nothing too urgent at the office, let’s go back and take a look,”
Gao Lin said.
“Alright! I’ll make the arrangements now!” Gao Ming said excitedly.
At night, Qiao Mei lay in bed and carefully studied the cufflink. She had not figured out the necklace’s ability vet, but she already found out about the ring.
It was similar to the energy she had and could help plants grow quickly.
However, the main difference was that this ring was able to store a large number of seeds. It was like a virtual storage space. Even if she wanted to secretly bring seeds back to her home country, it would not be discovered.
This cufflink was the most troublesome. It responded positively to Qiao Mei every day, but she was still unable to sever the connection between the cufflink and Zhang Cheng. It did not work even when she soaked it in highly concentrated 10,000-year-old ginseng juice like what she did with the luminous pearl she found at the back mountain behind the MO family’s house.
Qiao Mei held up the cufflink and inspected it carefully. Suddenly, the cufflink started to heat up and then seemed to become dimmer after flashing a few times. Qiao Mei sat up in surprise and looked at the cufflink closely. She wondered why the cufflink had such a sudden reaction. At the same time, Qiao Mei realized that she seemed to be able to resonate better with it.
“Don’t tell me that… something happened to Zhang Cheng?” Qiao Mei muttered to herself in shock.
That night, Qiao Mei fell asleep with all kinds of guesses in her mind. The next morning, she rushed downstairs to give Xia Zhe a call.
“Hey! Did something happen in Sky City!” Qiao Mei asked.
“How do you know? Zhang Cheng died in prison,” Xia Zhe said.
She did not expect Zhang Cheng to really be dead… However, he was under strict supervision in prison. How could he have died? Before Qiao Mei could ask, Xia Zhe told her what had happened.
“I also thought that Zhang Cheng would not die in prison, but I didn’t expect his enemy to deliberately commit a crime and go to jail with the goal of killing Zhang Cheng. Zhang Yao was also abused to death by those vagrants. The Zhang family’s illegitimate children were all hunted down when they were on the run. There is no one left in the Zhang family,” Xia Zhe said calmly.
The speaker volume was very loud and everyone in the living room could hear what Xia Zhe said. Gao Lin sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh. Zhang Cheng was finally dead and the many poor souls of the Gao family had finally been avenged.
Qiao Mei did not know how to comfort Gao Lin. He smiled faintly and said,
“Young girl, this is a good thing! We should celebrate!”
“That’s right! Let’s hold a big party tonight! We’ll ask all the neighbors to come! Consider it a send-off for us!” Qiao Mei said.
They served many dishes at the banquet and there were many types of cuisine,
Every family also brought their signature dishes and everyone had a good time singing and dancing..
