Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Qiao Mei wanted to visit Bella before she left the city. She wanted to give Bella a bottle of 1,000-year-old ginseng juice to repay Bella’s love and concern for her.
Xia Zhe did not dwindle and left Country M early the next morning. During the previous month, Country M had established friendly relations with his home country and the two countries had signed a reciprocal agreement. There were now many more flights serving the two countries. Soon, the Xia family members might even be able to fly here for a holiday!
“Da Dong! Da Nan! Let’s go to the casino!” Qiao Mei said to the bodyguards, dressed in a riding suit.
“Miss Pu, you’re in a good mood today. It’s rare to see you dressed in such a dashing manner,” Da Dong praised.
“Is that so? I just feel that this set of clothes is suitable for the casino. Let’s go now!” Qiao Mei said happily.
She had worked through the night to extract a small bottle of 1,000-year-old ginseng juice for Bella. This ginseng juice was more concentrated than the one stored in her courtyard house and had an even better effect. Perhaps it was because the soil quality here was better, leading to the improvement in the medicinal effect. Qiao Mei was very inspired by this discovery and intended to put more effort into studying soil quality in the future.
“Stop right there! It’s daytime now! The casino is not open for business! Miss, please come back tonight!” the casino’s door guard said as he blocked Qiao Mei’s way.
“I’m here to look for Sister Bella! Can you let her know please?” Qiao Mei said patiently.
“Is Sister Bella someone you can see anytime you want? I already told you! It’s not our operating hours yet. You should come back at night!” the guard said impatiently.
Da Dong and Da Nan wanted to go forward and teach the guard a lesson, but Qiao Mei had already taken out her gun and pointed it at the guard’s head as she said, “1 said I want to see Sister Bella. You must be new. You have never seen me before?”
A person dashed out from the casino. Qiao Mei had seen him before. He was the guard who took over the replaced guards the last time she came. She did not expect him to already be the guard team leader now.
“Miss Pu, long time no see. You’re still as beautiful as ever! This is a new staff member and he’ s not familiar with many things, so I really do seek your understanding. I’ll teach him a lesson later! Sister Bella is still sleeping. Can you come to the second floor and wait for her there?” Tom, the team leader, asked with a smile.
“Alright, thank you m ” Qiao Mei put away her gun and said happily. She knew the way to the meeting room on the second floor and did not need Tom to lead the way. There were guards everywhere in the casino and there was no need for Tom to specially arrange for anyone to keep an eye on Qiao Mei and her people.
Tom stood beside the door guard and gave him a hard kick as he said, “In the future, be more respectful when you see Miss Pu! Fortunately for you, I’m the one who witnessed this incident! If it’s Sister Bella who sees you talking to Miss Pu this way! You won’t even be alive now!”
“Is… is it that serious?” The door guard still did not take the incident to heart.
“How do you think I got this position? Miss Pu played a big part in it.” Tom looked at the door guard mockingly and smiled.
The door guard immediately understood what Tom meant. That meant that those two men died that night because they had offended Miss Pu. He stood up and patted the dust off his clothes before whispering to Tom, “Thanks for your advice, bro. I’ll be more careful in the future.”
After an hour, Qiao Mei finally saw Bella. However, she had not been idle during this hour. She asked a croupier from the casino to come and teach her how to play poker. By now, she had learnt many different types of games.
“You should have told me in advance that you’re coming over. Then, you won’t have to wait for so long,” Bella said as she looked at Qiao Mei reproachfully.
“I’m going home soon. so I want to visit you before I leave. I have brought you a gift!” Qiao Mei said happily.
“You’re going home? Then what about Fang Chen? Why isn’t here with you? Doesn’t he know how chaotic Sky City is recently? Why does he allow you to come out alone?” Bella said with a slight frown.
Qiao Mei tapped Bella’s tightly furrowed brows and said, “He has his own things to do and has given me all his bodyguards. Are you still worried even with these bodyguards following me around?”
Bella casually sized up Da Dong and Da Nan, who were standing behind Qiao Mei. Then, she said disdainfully, “Just two bumbling fools. Are you protecting them or are they protecting you? Let me arrange for a few guys to follow you around.’
“The two of them can protect me. I’m not some big-shot or a tycoon. Why do I need super capable bodyguards?” Qiao Mei said..
