Chapter 269
Qin Xiang was not familiar with this voice and did not recognize it. Since it had nothing to do with her, she kept her mouth shut and focused on being a good eater.
Zhao Mingqian frowned and looked at Meng Huaiqing, "Looking for you."
Meng Huaiqing was helpless, "It seems that I can't have a good meal today."
As he spoke, Meng Huaiqing stood up and opened the door, only to see a man in his fifties standing at the door with a group of people.
Qin Xiang didn't even turn his head.
Outside, Chen Daoxun smiled in surprise. "I only heard them say Mr. Zhao was here, but I didn't expect Mr. Meng to be here too. It seems we have a deep connection."
Meng Huaiqing smiled politely, "I heard that Boss Chen wants to treat me to a meal as an apology?"
Chen Daoxun's smile froze for a moment, and he nodded, "Yes."
Meng Huaiqing said, "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. How about today?"
"...Okay." Chen Daoxun glanced at his son and daughter who were holding out their hands, then said, "Jiamin, stay. Jiayuan, you two can go back."
Chen Jiayuan looked at Meng Huaiqing with resentment. If anyone didn't know, they would think that Meng Huaiqing had done something to wrong her.
However, Meng Huaiqing didn't even glance at Chen Jiayuan, but just nodded and said, "The guest should follow the host's wishes."
The meaning was very clear: they were the guests now, and Chen Daoxun became the host.
Zhao Mingqian called out from inside, "Boss Chen, come in quickly, let's have a drink."
Chen Daoxun brought Chen Jiamin in and exchanged pleasantries with Zhao Mingqian. His eyes fell on Qin Xiang, and he exclaimed in surprise, "Is this pretty girl Mr. Meng's girlfriend? She's really beautiful, even prettier than the celebrities here."
Qin Xiang put down her chopsticks and nodded at him. "Boss Chen, you have a good eye, don't you? But you're not bad either. Your daughters are all smart and clever, and they have a lot of their father's style."
After she finished speaking, Chen Daoxun's expression changed, "The little girl is really good at speaking."
Qin Xiang agreed, "Indeed, if I'm not a bit more articulate, people will point fingers at me and scold me."
"That's definitely not possible." Chen Daoxun sat down next to Zhao Mingqian and pointed to the side next to Qin Xiang, saying, "Jiamin, sit there."
Qin Xiang moved her chair towards Meng Huaiqing, placing it next to each other, a full meter away from Chen Jiamin. Facing their awkward gazes, Qin Xiang explained, "I'm sorry, I'm allergic to perfume, so I have to stay away from Miss Chen."
Chen Jiamin: “…”
Chen Daoxun: “…”
Zhao Mingqian said cheerfully, "Waiter, please take all the dishes away."
Several waiters came in and quickly cleared the table. Zhao Mingqian said, "Boss Chen is treating us to a meal, so why would you eat some leftovers? You have to order a whole table, right, Boss Chen?"
Chen Daoxun nodded, "Of course."
His eyes fell on Meng Huaiqing, and he said gently, "Today's meal is my Chen family's apology. I hope Boss Meng can forgive our previous mistakes."
Meng Huaiqing nodded slightly and handed the menu to Qin Xiang, "What would you like to eat?"
Qin Xiang looked at the menu, only looking at the prices and not the dishes, and ordered whatever was expensive, portraying the image of a greedy, take-advantaged, and vengeful woman.
Anyway, there were only a few of them in the private room, so the Chen family could think whatever they wanted about her. No one could believe what they said anyway.
Meng Huaiqing saw her intention and let her order. She ordered more than a dozen dishes and even asked for a few bottles of super expensive red wine. Then he handed the menu to the waiter.
The two of them spoke in low voices, so Chen Daoxun was far away and didn't hear it, and neither did Chen Jiamin.
However, when the dishes came, the corners of the father and son's mouths were twitching.
As expected, this northern girl is naive and vindictive, and she only looks at the price.
The father and son looked down on her in their hearts, but smiled, "Miss Qin has good taste."
Qin Xiang nodded and gave him a look that said, "I think so too. Otherwise, how could I find a good man like Huai Qing?"
As she said this, she deliberately hugged his arm and rubbed it affectionately.
Chen Daoxun chuckled, "Miss Qin is a person of genuine character."
"No, your daughter is the one with the true nature." Qin Xiang said with a smile, "She came directly to our school and happened to be arguing with our professor while we were in class. It's really not easy to be so true to her nature. Fortunately, we were in the mainland and no one knew she was a member of the Chen family. Otherwise..."
She covered her mouth and smiled, then looked at Chen Jiamin, "But your second young lady is a reserved person."
Chen Daoxun's expression was not very good, and he said with a forced smile, "Jia Min is indeed well-behaved and sensible, and has a good reputation in the Hong Kong socialite circle."
"You're absolutely right." Qin Xiang looked at Chen Jiamin and said, "This morning, she and your Miss Chen Jiayuan went to apologize to me, but she kept staring at Huai Qing..."
She smiled lightly, "It's just a waste. With someone as outstanding as me by her side, how could Huaiqing look at anyone else?"
Chen Jiamin: “…” I’ve never seen anyone so shameless.
Chen Daoxun held his breath. Where on earth did Meng Huaiqing find such a woman? She was so vulgar and uneducated.
As they were talking, the food arrived. Meng Huaiqing picked some food for Qin Xiang according to her taste and said, "Try this. It's expensive for a reason. It tastes good."
Qin Xiang ate it and praised it, "Not bad."
Chen Daoxun chuckled and said, "Miss Qin, if you like it, you can take some home."
Qin Xiang's eyes lit up when he heard this. "Really? That's great."
Qin Xiang was not polite at all. She pointed at a few dishes and asked the waiter to pack up two portions. She also asked for a few bottles of super expensive wine.
Chen Daoxun looked extremely ugly, and Chen Jiamin wasn't much better.
Their original idea was to invite the two of them alone in a few days, to their territory, and then send Qin Xiang away, and then give Meng Huaiqing some drugs so that she could climb into bed directly and let the media expose it.
I didn't expect to learn they were having dinner here today, so I came over on a whim. Coming over to say hello ended up being a treat and an apology, ruining all my previous preparations.
Chen Jiamin was still unwilling to give up. This opportunity might only come once or twice. If she missed it, she didn't know when the next one would come. So she said softly, "Mr. Meng, it doesn't seem convenient today. How about we invite you two to apologize separately another day?"
Meng Huaiqing looked up, "Is there anything inconvenient?"
Chen Jiamin opened her mouth, but Meng Huaiqing had already put down his chopsticks. "Boss Chen, if you want to apologize, you should show your sincerity. Let's start now. We can continue eating after you apologize."
Chen Daoxun: “…”
He's going to curse.
Chen Daoxun chuckled and asked Chen Jiamin to pour wine for Meng Huaiqing. However, Meng Huaiqing had already picked up the wine and poured himself a glass. "I can pour it myself. I won't bother Miss Chen."
Chen Jiamin sat down awkwardly.
Chen Daoxun stood up, holding the wine, and said, "We have offended Boss Meng in the past. I hope Boss Meng can forgive us and forgive our mistakes. From now on, the Chen family will continue to be allies with Qingjia Group."
Meng Huaiqing said calmly, "I accept the apology, but forget about the alliance. I think Boss Chen would prefer to ally with the Jiang family. After all, this is the company founded by my grandfather. How can I take away someone else's alliance?"
This one sentence directly blocked Chen Daoxun's words.
Chen Daoxun hesitated, his face showing embarrassment. "It seems that Boss Meng still has a deep grudge about what happened before."
"I dare not." Meng Huaiqing smiled. "It's just that every failure makes one wiser. There are no permanent allies in this world, so it's normal to go our separate ways."
Chen Daoxun wanted to say more, but Zhao Mingqian hurriedly said, "Come on, come on, let's eat. Xiao Qin has good taste, and the dishes he ordered are all my favorites."
Qin Xiang smiled and said, "Then you can also take two. It's rare that Boss Chen is so generous."
Zhao Mingqian nodded, "I think it's okay."
So he called the waiter over again and asked him to pack up another portion to take away when he left.
Chen Daoxun was speechless, his face looking so embarrassed that he missed his father so much.
Qin Xiang and the other two seemed not to notice and happily enjoyed the food, ignoring the Chen father and daughter.
The meal was finally over. The Chen father and daughter hardly touched their chopsticks, while Qin Xiang, Meng Huaiqing and Zhao Mingqian were very satisfied with the meal.
Not only do you not have to pay for the delicious food, you can also pack it up and take it away. Even a big boss can't resist such a good thing.
Excited.
The bodyguards behind Meng Huaiqing followed with several large food boxes. Meng Huaiqing said, "Thank you, Boss Chen, for your hospitality today. We have put aside our past grudges."
As for the stock market, he can stop dealing with them.
But as Qin Xiang said, when the stock market crash comes, it will not be easy for the Chen family to escape.
Of course, his Qingjia Group also had to be prepared. On the contrary, Uncle Zhao's company, which was engaged in industrial shipping, was within the escape range that Qin Xiang mentioned.
The shipping industry has always been stable, and even in a bull market like this, it has only been rising slowly. Although there was an impact when the stock market crash came, the threat was minimal and could be ignored.
On the way back, Qin Xiang said, "Let's go to the hotel first and give Fei Qing a copy. Such a good thing can't be wasted."
Then he turned to Miao Sheng and said, "The rest can be shared among you as a midnight snack. Driving is really tiring."
Miao Sheng thanked him and concentrated on driving.
Qin Xiang was a little excited because of the wine she had drunk. She whispered to Meng Huaiqing, "I think Miao Sheng has changed a lot."
She was too close to Meng Huaiqing's ear, and Meng Huaiqing felt a tingling sensation in his ear.
"Ah, your ears are so red." Qin Xiang couldn't help but chuckle. Meng Huaiqing looked at her and said, "I'll deal with you when I get back."
Miao Sheng first sent the two home, then went to bring food to Fei Qing, and then had their midnight snack with several bodyguards in the house downstairs.
The food in the restaurant is very good. They make it right before you go out and pack it in special insulated boxes. The ingredients are also very delicious.
The bodyguards now put aside their cold and ruthless expressions and praised Qin Xiang, the boss lady, for being kind to them.
"Brother Miao, don't you agree?"
Miao Sheng was in a complicated mood and nodded after a while, "Yeah."
"Our boss finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel. I really hope they get married soon. The boss lady is so generous. When they get married, she will definitely give us a big red envelope."
"I'm sure I can cover it when I have children in the future."
Several people were talking happily, but it was a pity that they couldn't drink.
Qin Xiang had taken the wine away and planned to bring it back to the mainland for her father and Mr. Ge to taste. Qin Xiang risked her pride to get it back.
Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing had already entered the house. When she went to wash up, Meng Huaiqing reminded her, "Don't forget the promise you made when you left."
Qin Xiang drank a lot of wine, and her brain was a little slow. "What did I say?"
"You said you'd come back and give me a surprise." Meng Huaiqing looked at Qin Xiang wrapped in a cheongsam. Her eyes were a little blurry, and her mouth was slightly open, which was very cute. He couldn't help but want to kiss her, but Qin Xiang stopped him, "You smell of alcohol. Wait for me."
As for whether Meng Huaiqing remembered it or not, he was not sure.
In fact, Qin Xiang remembered it when she went into the master bedroom to get clothes.
She locked the bedroom door, took out a nightgown from her luggage bag and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
The bathroom in the master bedroom is smaller but also very nice.
Qin Xiang came out after washing and drying herself, picked up her nightgown and looked at it, and finally reached out to take out another one.
It was a silk cheongsam.
But this cheongsam is very revealing, and some parts are not covered at all.
She made this herself when she was free, and she has never worn it since it was washed.
It was summer and she felt hot even when wearing clothes, not to mention that the clothes tightly wrapped around her body.
She stood in front of the mirror and looked at herself. Her curves were fully revealed and the fabric fit her perfectly. She let her freshly blow-dried hair fall over her shoulders, then put on a pair of high heels and went out.
In the living room, Meng Huaiqing had just finished his shower and heard the noise and asked, "Why are you wearing high..."
When he saw Qin Xiang coming out, he was stunned and stared at Qin Xiang without blinking.
The slits on both sides of the thighs almost reach the buttocks, and when walking, the fair legs are faintly visible through the thin fabric.
And looking up again...it was the first time Meng Huaiqing saw her wearing such tight clothes.
The problem was she wasn't wearing any underwear.
Qin Xiang frowned and kicked her high heels aside. "I'm not wearing them anymore. They're so tiring."
I bought this this morning when I was shopping with Fei Qing. I bought it because I thought these high heels looked nice, but now they are so tiring to wear.
Meng Huaiqing hummed, his voice hoarse, "Come here."
Qin Xiang went over, and Meng Huaiqing hugged her in his arms and leaned over to kiss her. The slit of her clothes saved Meng Huaiqing trouble, but the buttons on her top made her feel a nuisance when he was aroused.
Finally, with a "swish" sound, the good clothes were torn directly by Meng Huaiqing.
Qin Xiang lay on the sofa, hooked her arm around Meng Huaiqing's neck and said, "Mr. Meng, am I beautiful?"
Meng Huaiqing only answered with actions.
Qin Xiang couldn't help but giggle.
Meng Huaiqing looked up at her and said, "I hope you won't regret it when you wake up tomorrow."
Qin Xiang is not a good drinker, especially after his rebirth, he tends to go crazy after drinking twice.
Like tonight, she originally just wanted Meng Huaiqing to see it, but it ended up turning into a clothes-tearing battle. Meng Huaiqing tore her cheongsam, and Qin Xiang simply tore his shirt and underwear.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been fooling around. Qin Xiang sobered up and was hungry.
Meng Huaiqing gave her a bath and said, "You take a rest. I'll go make some noodles."
Qin Xiang refused to let him go. "What's the point of making noodles? It's better to make love."
Meng Huaiqing's eyes were deep, and he stood up and said, "Stop making trouble."
"I was obviously seducing you." Qin Xiang sat on the sofa and laughed.
Meng Huaiqing went into the kitchen and took out a piece of meat and a tomato from the refrigerator. He then pulled out two stalks of celery, sautéed the minced meat, added the celery and tomatoes, and sautéed until the juices came out before adding salt. While he was busy preparing the stew, he didn't forget to boil some noodles in water.
The noodles are cooked and the sauce is ready. Put the noodles in cold water to cool them down, then put them into the sauce. The fragrant noodles are ready.
Meng Huaiqing is now quite satisfied with his cooking skills, especially when cooking for people he likes, which makes him feel even happier.
Because it was getting late, Meng Huaiqing didn't make much and happily served the noodles.
Meanwhile, downstairs, two paparazzi squatting in the bushes were looking at the photos in their cameras with great excitement, "Is this Meng Huaiqing?"
"Yes, it's him, but I can't believe it. He can actually cook? I've never heard of it."
"Tsk tsk, look at the expression on his face..."
Zooming in on the photo, a paparazzi's eyes widened. "Look, there's a mark on his exposed collarbone..."
We are all adults now, and we know exactly what this mark is.
The paparazzi tutted, "So this Mr. Meng is actually henpecked."
"Now our newspaper can turn things around," the paparazzi said excitedly, "but let's go back and discuss this with the editor-in-chief first."
The two of them stopped feeding mosquitoes and left quickly after taking some useful photos.
Meng Huaiqing brought out the noodles and called out to Qin Xiang, "It's time to eat."
Qin Xiang stood up and almost fell down. It was so intense that her legs were a little weak.
As expected, male beauty can lead people astray. She looked at him unhappily and said, "It's all your fault."
Meng Huaiqing smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's all my fault."
"That's right." Qin Xiang picked up the chopsticks and took a bite, and couldn't help but praise, "Mr. Meng's profits are getting better and better."
Meng Huaiqing smiled, "If you like it, I'll do it for you often in the future."
Qin Xiang lowered her head and started eating. She couldn't help but say, "I thought you would say you would make it for me every day."
"It's impossible to do it every day." Meng Huaiqing is a pragmatic person and doesn't want to make promises that he can't keep. "I'm afraid you'll get tired of it if we do it every day. It's good to change the taste occasionally. Besides..."
He paused and laughed, "If they can't cook for us, those chefs will be out of a job."
Qin Xiang rolled her eyes. "You're right. In order to keep them from losing their jobs, I have to give them more opportunities."
"You're right." Meng Huaiqing smiled.
After dinner, Meng Huaiqing also mentioned the dishes and chopsticks. When he came out, he glanced at the window and couldn't help but pause.
The two went to bed early. Meng Huaiqing asked her about her plans for tomorrow. Qin Xiang said, "I'd better go out for a walk and talk to Miss Chen before I get ready to go back."
"But I have to stay a few days late." Meng Huaiqing said, "I'm not done with my work yet. I'll let Miao Sheng go back with you."
Qin Xiang shook her head. "No need. Fei Qing and Brother Zhao will be fine with me."
This time, because he followed Meng Huaiqing out, Zhao Ping has been following Miao Sheng. He doesn't talk much and is almost like a transparent person.
Meng Huaiqing didn't insist, "Then bring two more people. I don't feel at ease with less people."
"Okay." Qin Xiang closed her eyes and fell asleep.
Meng Huaiqing looked at her and sighed helplessly, not knowing whether she had heard it or not.
But when it comes to safety, no matter how much Qin Xiang resists, he has to make the arrangements.
The Chen family suffered losses twice, so they didn't dare to do anything to him, but that doesn't mean they didn't dare to do anything to Qin Xiang.
It’s better in the mainland, but safety must be guaranteed while in Hong Kong.
However, the next morning, before Meng Huaiqing woke up, Miao Sheng boldly called him, "Boss, turn on the TV and watch the entertainment news."
At this time, Qin Xiang and Meng Huaiqing had just woken up.
Meng Huaiqing got up, turned on the TV in the bedroom, and raised his eyebrows when he saw the news.
