Chapter 2230: Dirty the Gown
Editor: Atlas Studios
Then again, Jessica did not expect Qiao Mei to appear at her house again. It seemed that Daniel really liked this girl very much. At the same time, this girl was also very scheming. Otherwise, she would not be able to make Daniel yearn for her for so long.
“Looks like you don’t like it very much. Then I’ll get another one for tomorrow,” Jessica said embarrassedly.
Jessica looked at Qiao Mei arrogantly. She wanted to walk past Qiao Mei to the other master seat opposite Xia Zhe, but she did not expect Qiao Mei to knock down the red wine glass beside her. All the red wine spilled onto Jessica’s dress.
“You! You did it on purpose!” Jessica said furiously as she looked at Qiao Mei.
Qiao Mei covered her mouth playfully and said, “Oh! I’m just careless. Why does Miss Jessica say such things? Don’t tell me you have never made any mistakes before?”
“This is my house! How dare you talk to me like that! Didn’t your family teach you the most basic etiquette! You dirty my dress and yet you don’t even apologize to me!” Jessica pointed at Qiao Mei and roared.
Qiao Mei used her hand to support her chin and looked at Jessica lazily. “Is that so? I’m also a pampered young lady who grew up in a loving family. Our backgrounds are pretty similar. It’s just a dress. I’ll compensate you for it.”
Daniel’s expression changed from a shocked look to a doting look as he turned to Qiao Mei. He did not expect Qiao Mei to have such a side to her. Jessica had indeed been pampered since she was young and it would not be an exaggeration to say that she was spoiled. Qiao Mei had struck a raw nerve with Jessica, which was why Jessica argued with Qiao Mei so agitatedly.
“Enough. Go and get cleaned up, elder sister. Don’t be so unhappy,” Daniel said with a smile as he looked at Jessica.
Jessica’s voice trembled as she agreed with Daniel. She knew very well that Daniel’s smile just now was an act and his eyes were filled with mockery and murderous intent. She had lost her composure just now and the way she lost her composure had made Daniel feel very embarrassed in front of Qiao Mei.
“Are you angry with me?” Qiao Mei asked Daniel.
“No, why will I be angry with such a beautiful young lady?” Daniel said.
“But I accidentally dirtied the hem of your pants too. I’m really sorry,” Qiao Mei said apologetically.
“It’s alright, I’ll just go and get changed. Wait for me.” With that, Daniel left the dining room and returned to his bedroom to change.
Xia Zhe had used the tablecloth as a shield during the incident to prevent the red wine from splashing on him. Ordinary people were not so agile and the butler and Daniel had noted his actions.
Qiao Mei looked at the butler and said in the capital’s dialect, “Get me another glass of wine.”
The butler looked at Qiao Mei confusedly and said apologetically, “I’m sorry, Miss. I don’t understand what you’re saying.”
Qiao Mei switched to Country M’s language and said, “Give me another glass of wine.”
“Sure.” The butler took another glass and poured wine for Qiao Mei.
Xia Zhe did not show any reaction on the surface, but he was actually laughing heartily inside. As expected of his treasured darling, she was always so interesting and direct when she did things. She even managed to chase Jessica and Daniel out of the room in an instant.
“I’ve already tested them. They can’t understand our language. It’s the same for all of them,” Xia Zhe said to Qiao Mei in the Hu City dialect.
Qiao Mei looked at the magazine in the distance and continued to use the capital’s dialect, “Bring me that magazine.”
There were beads of sweat on the butler’s forehead. He kept asking Qiao Mei to speak in the local language. If he did not take good care of Qiao Mei, he would definitely be reprimanded by Daniel. Daniel’s way of teaching people a lesson was very scary and he did not ever want to experience it again.
“She wants that magazine,” Xia Zhe said, acting as Qiao Mei’s interpreter.
The butler immediately brought the car magazine over. He knew that Qiao Mei was in a bad mood and was using him to vent her frustration! Miss Jessica often did such things too and he was already used to it.
“Are there surveillance cameras here? Or recording equipment?” Qiao Mei asked in the Hu City dialect as she pointed at the photo of a car in the magazine.
“No, I’ve checked everything, but there are surveillance cameras in some spots. You have to be careful,” Xia Zhe replied in the Hu City dialect.
Qiao Mei was cautious and meticulous, on par with the soldiers in the army. If this continued, she could even be his partner. The two of them had a tacit understanding that no one else could match.
“What are their exact locations?” Qiao Mei asked.
“The entire corridor on the third floor, Alan’s study and bedroom, and Daniel’s bedroom,” Xia Zhe said.
Qiao Mei nodded in understanding. She turned a page and asked, “Then why did you stay here for so many days? Why didn’t you give me any news? Did they torture you?”
