Strangely, after Qi Kai said this, Mao Huimei was not angry, but just thought it was ridiculous.
"Now that you mention it, I really want to give it a try," Mao Huimei said with a smile. "Go ahead and spread it. The wider the better. If you don't, you're a grandson."
Qi Kai always felt that Mao Huimei's reaction was not right.
"I was just wondering how to deal with you," Mao Huimei sneered. "I can just send you to jail to save you from annoying people out there."
"Even if Lu Nana is willing, her family probably won't let her marry a prisoner."
Qi Kai frowned, "Stop exaggerating here."
"Isn't that alarmist? I suggest you go to the library and look up defamation under the Criminal Law," Mao Huimei said. "You already have the motive, so I don't even need to investigate the source of the rumor."
By this point, she was already impatient. "So, while I'm still in a good mood, get out of my sight!"
"Otherwise, I can't guarantee that I will go to Lu Nana and say anything."
Seeing that he could not gain any benefit today, Qi Kai had to leave temporarily.
Xia Mian came out from the corner, "I almost beat him up just now."
Mao Huimei said, "There's no need to dirty your hands with something this disgusting."
"If you beat him up, wouldn't he know we've seen through He Wei?"
"Let them love each other without knowing anything!"
Xia Mian laughed and said, "Yes, I hope they can love each other for a long time."
The two went home separately. Xia Mian saw the lights in the yard were on and a smile appeared on her face.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw Ning Shaobai and Xiao Feng there.
The door to the main room was wide open, and two people, one big and one small, were lying on the table, discussing something.
Xia Mian vaguely heard Xiao Feng pointing to a place with his little hand and saying "brother and sister". Ning Shaobai raised the corner of his mouth and looked a little bad, as if he was planning something bad.
Xia Mian was just feeling strange when the other party noticed something and looked up at him.
Xiao Feng looked at her almost at the same time, and then they both smiled at the same time.
Xia Mian's heart, which had just been poisoned by Qi Kai, was instantly healed.
"Auntie!" Xiao Feng ran towards her.
Xia Mian held him and walked around. "When did you come back? Where did you go today?"
Xiao Feng smiled and said nothing, just glancing at Ning Shaobai.
Ning Shaobai waved to Xiaofeng, and Xiaofeng immediately ran over and leaned his head against his legs.
Xia Mian looked at him with amusement, "When did you betray me?"
Ning Shaobai touched the smirking Xiao Feng and said with a smile, "Don't ask, we have prepared a surprise for you, you will know tomorrow."
Tomorrow is Xia Mian’s birthday. I don’t know how the two of them formed an alliance in the past few days, and no one knows what they are doing behind Xia Mian’s back.
Xia Mian shook his head helplessly and lowered his head to look at the drawings on the table.
"Hasn't the blueprint for the yard already been finalized? Are there any changes?"
Ning Shaobai said, "This is from my side."
"You want to renovate too?"
Ning Shaobai looked up at her, his eyes twinkling, "I think we can add some entertainment rooms, such as a music room or something."
Xia Mian thought of the crazy kiss in the Rong family's locker room that day, and her cheeks turned red, but she didn't have time to think about it.
Ning Shaobai raised his hand and touched her head, giving her a sly smile where she couldn't see.
Just as Ning Shaobai predicted last year, Xia Mian's 19th birthday was more exciting to her than her 18th because it was her first birthday after falling in love.
And it seems that she is not the only one who is looking forward to it.
When Xia Mian opened her eyes, Xiao Feng was already awake. The little guy was lying beside her bed, looking at her with bright eyes, "Auntie, good morning."
Xia Mian turned over and faced him, touching his little face, "Baby, why are you up so early?"
The child smiled and said, "Auntie, happy birthday!"
"Thank you!" Xia Mian leaned over and kissed his cheek and said with a smile, "Are you going to give me a birthday present?"
Xiao Feng pursed her lips and shook her head, "I'll send it tonight."
"Why do we have to wait until night?" Xia Mian pretended to be disappointed. Xiao Feng smiled secretly, his eyes shining, and he was obviously looking forward to the moment of giving the gift.
This made Xia Mian even more curious.
By the time she got up and washed up, Xiao Feng had already run across the street.
When Xia Mian arrived at Ning Shaoyun's house, he and Chenchen were already decorating the birthday cake. As for Mao Huizhu, that guy had been sleeping until noon every day since the summer vacation.
There were words written in the middle of the birthday cake, and the font was strong and powerful, different from previous years.
Xia Mian recognized the handwriting at a glance. She couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking that these words made the cake look even more delicious.
Ning Shaoyun smiled and said, "Little Bai Tian came over to make the cake as soon as it was light." She sighed, "I've never seen him make it before, but he got it right the first time."
Xia Mian couldn't help but smile as she recalled the chaos when she and Zhou Xuewen made a cake for the first time.
"Doctor Ning can do everything." Xia Mian was proud of it.
Seeing Ning Shaoyun looking at her teasingly, Xia Mian didn't shy away and asked, "Where is Doctor Ning?"
"I just went back to change clothes and I'm going to work soon."
Xia Mian ran out and happened to meet Ning Shaobai going out.
Seeing her, Ning Shaobai winked at her and retreated back into the door.
Xia Mian couldn't help but smile, and ran quickly into the door next door, and sure enough, she fell directly into a broad arms.
Ning Shaobai lowered his head and pecked her lips, then smiled and said, "Happy birthday."
Xia Mian stood on tiptoe and kissed him, "Thank you."
Ning Shaobai pinched her chin and returned the greeting with his hands, "See you tonight."
At noon, Xia Wenyue and Mao Zhishan also came back from the factory. They rolled up their sleeves and cooked a table of dishes together.
Xia Mian said, "The factory is so busy, you don't have to come back specially."
Xia Wenyue said, "It's not a special trip. The booth is almost set up, so let's relax today. We haven't had dinner together in a long time."
"Besides, I'm afraid you won't be able to spend many birthdays at home this year." Xia Wenyue couldn't help but sigh, "I never realized before that Doctor Ning was so impatient."
"Luckily you're nineteen. If you were twenty, I think he would just drag you to get the marriage certificate."
"No, I felt like I was tricked by him last time. I have to find another opportunity to have a good talk with him. I have to wait until you graduate from college before getting married."
Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh secretly, but she didn't care.
However, Ning Shaobai obviously would not give anyone a chance to refute, including Xia Mian himself.
When the meal was almost over, Ning Shaobai handed Xia Mian a file bag.
Xia Mian opened it and saw the property deed inside. After seeing the location and area, he was so happy that he almost jumped up, "Haha, Doctor Ning, you are awesome!"
Last summer, Ning Shaobai used a demolished house to lure Xia Mian back from Mingxi County. Later, that yard, along with the second courtyard where they live now, and Xia Mian were all under Xiaofeng's name.
She left two courtyards for herself, and gave one of them to Xia Wenyue's family, so she has been looking for ways to buy a few more houses that will be demolished in the future.
But in reality, this kind of house is not easy to buy.
We are still in an era where demand exceeds supply, and coupled with the Chinese people's obsession with real estate, very few people are selling their houses.
In addition, without an intermediary, it was very difficult to obtain information, and Xia Mian himself never found it.
I didn't expect Dr. Ning to buy one for her right away! If everyone wasn't there, Xia Mian would definitely give him a big hug.
When Xia Wenyue knew what the gift was, she still said politely, "Isn't it too expensive?"
Xia Mian immediately pretended to cooperate and said, "Oh, it's really too expensive."
Xia Wenyue glared at her because of her pretentious look.
Ning Shaobai laughed, "This isn't expensive. What Xiaofeng gave you is more valuable."
Xia Mian looked at Xiao Feng in surprise, "Isn't this a gift you two gave me?"
Xiao Feng opened her eyes wide and shook her head, then stretched out her arms from behind her back, revealing a jewelry box in her little hands.
Xia Mian looked at his expectant eyes and felt a little confused.
She hesitated and finally opened the jewelry box, and saw a beautiful ring.
The silver ring is inlaid with half a circle of diamonds. It is not particularly low-key, but it fits Xia Mian's aesthetic very well and is very beautiful.
but……
"Is this a gift from you to your aunt?"
The others obviously didn't quite understand, so Xiao Feng narrowed his eyes and said, "Uncle-in-law."
???
Chenchen, one of the accomplices, added, “Aunt Mian, Xiaofeng will give you an uncle-in-law!”
Ning Shaobai consciously stood next to Xiaofeng.
Everyone reacted and burst into laughter.
Ning Shaoyun shook her head and sighed. Zhou Xuewen said calmly, "Cunning."
Ning Shaobai touched Xiaofeng's head and looked at Xia Mian and said, "Do you like Xiaofeng's gift?"
Xia Mian looked at the child's sparkling eyes. Could she say she didn't like it?
All she could do was lean over and give him a big kiss on the cheek, "I like it very much, you did a great job." This was how she sold her aunt out.
Ning Shaobai smiled, reached out to take the ring, and solemnly put it on the middle finger of Xia Mian's left hand. His tone was gentle and pious, "Mian Mian, I give you the rest of my life. Happy birthday."
A wave of heat suddenly rushed out from Xia Mian's heart without warning, making her chest feel full and her nose sore, but a sweet smile appeared on her face.
She couldn't help but hold his hand tightly, and they smiled at each other.
Mao Huizhu, the smart little fellow, immediately led the applause, and Xiao Feng reached out and held Xia Mian's other hand.
When Xia Mian was holding Xiao Feng and blowing out the candles and making a wish, Xia Wenyue said, "Mian Mian, add one to your wish: wishing your sister to find a partner soon."
Xia Mian almost burst out laughing. Mao Huimei said helplessly, "Mom~"
"What's the point of calling me?" Xia Wenyue said, "Your sister's lifelong event has been settled. You should hurry up and bring me one by the end of the year at the latest. Do you understand?"
Mao Huimei had already told Xia Wenyue about He Wei's matter. She didn't elaborate on the reason, but only said that the other party actually looked down on the Mao family and was just a rich second-generation who was bored and chasing girls for fun.
Xia Wenyue's first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief. "I was wondering why I always felt uneasy. I always felt like he wasn't the same kind of person as us."
Now that Mao Huimei's lifelong event was being discussed, Xia Wenyue couldn't help but curse, "That He Wei is really bored. He doesn't even have time to find a partner himself, and he's delaying others from finding one."
"If he hadn't caused trouble, Huimei might have brought the person back long ago."
After Mao Huimei had two consecutive bad romances, Xia Wenyue suddenly became anxious about Mao Huimei's marriage.
As a result, Mao Huimei didn't dare to get close to her.
Fortunately, after Xia Mian’s birthday, the factory was very busy.
The largest food industry exhibition in Yan City is about to begin, and Xinsheng also bought a booth.
The production line of Xinsheng Food Factory has been expanded, and now the production capacity has caught up. Xia Wenyue has begun to focus on the whole country. This kind of national exhibition is the best opportunity for investment promotion and sales.
Hearing that there were foreign food companies, Xia Mian casually mentioned, "We can also sell to foreign countries. When it comes to food, China dares to claim second place, and no country dares to claim first place. If Xinsheng Food can have a market in China, it will have no problem abroad."
She originally meant to think about it later, but somehow Mao Huimei started thinking about it, so she has been working hard to practice English recently, hoping to visit foreign food booths.
However, before leaving, Xia Mian, who was fluent in English, was dragged along, and Mao Huilan simply went along to see the world.
Mao Huizhu and Xiaofeng were naturally left at Ning Shaoyun's house.
Xia Wenyue arranged for a van from the factory to come and take them there directly.
As the van drove out of the alley, Xia Wenyue said, "Hey, isn't that He Wei's car?"
Xia Mian and Mao Huimei looked at each other, rolled down the window and looked out, and it was indeed He Wei's car.
Xia Mian whispered, "It seems he's mad as hell. He came here so quickly."
Mao Huimei sneered, "Then let him wait."
The exhibition will last for three days, and they will go out early and come back late during these three days, so there will be no one at home.
However, the confrontation came much faster than expected, and they actually met He Wei directly at the exhibition.
