Chapter 2303: Hitting It Off

"Talking about properties... I haven't really bought too many properties, but I did buy a lot of land. I think I should be able to make some money out of them. They are located in the suburbs in the north of the city," Qian'e said hesitantly.

Qiao Mei had always thought that Qian'e was only interested in properties and did not expect Qian'e to have started investing in land. Could it be that after being in business for a long time, she had become more far-sighted? It appeared that theory was truly no match for actual experience.

"What kind of business do you have in mind? Will you consider letting me be an investor?" Qiao Mei asked with a grin.

"There is no business involved. It's... it's..." Qian'e said, looking a little embarrassed.

Qiao Mei led her back into the office and the two of them sat down, facing each other. Qiao Mei asked curiously, "You're not hiding some secret from me, are you?"

"What secret do I have! Don't you already know everything about me?" Qian'e said shyly. "Then what's up with you?" Qiao Mei said.

When Qiao Mei was in Country M, Qian'e had to deal with many issues. She and Han Chen had many conflicts and they no longer had a future together. During that period of time, Qian'e felt depressed and worked day and night, as if she wanted to work herself to death.

Li Gui tried her best to introduce many new people to Qian'e, but Qian'e did not take a fancy to any of them. Some of these people were not her type, while some people were very particular about the fact that she could not have children. Then one time, at a charity banquet, Qian'e ran into a charming man and the two of them hit it off immediately after getting to know each other.

This was the very first time Qian'e had met someone who was so in sync with her. This man did not seem to mind her past and her background at all. As Qiao Mei noticed how Qian'e was becoming more and more excited as she related her story, Qiao Mei had a strong feeling that something was wrong.

"What's that man's name?" Qiao Mei asked seriously.

"Nan Dong," Qian'e said.

"Nan... Is there even anyone with this surname in the capital? Why haven't I heard anything about any Nan family? Have you asked my eldest brother to do a check on him?" Qiao Mei asked warily.

Qian'e shook her head and said, "He's not from a prestigious family. He's an orphan and has gotten to his current status all the way from scratch. It has not been easy for him!"

Qiao Mei did not interrupt Qian'e. She took note of the name and decided to investigate it thoroughly. With Yao Nian in her service, she was not worried about not getting the dirt on anyone in this world.

However, it turned out that there was only disappointment in store for her this time. This man, Nan Dong, seemed to have appeared out of thin air and there was no trace of his past at all. His background was as clean as a piece of white paper.

Qiao Mei stared at Yao Nian and said, "Are you... sure you didn't manage to find anything? Did you even conduct a proper investigation?"

"Don't wrong me, Sister-in-law! Don't you trust me! I really can't find anything this time. I even asked many of my peers for help, but they also didn't manage to find anything," Yao Nian said, sounding as if he was about to have a breakdown.

This was truly a disastrous moment in his career! This was the first time in so many years that there was someone whose background information eluded him! After all, he had maintained a tight network of contacts all over the country for so many years!

"In that case, the more it means that there's something fishy about this person. Continue with the investigation. No matter what, we have to find out about this person's past! It does not matter how much money we have to spend!" Qiao Mei said.

"I wonder if there's any photo or something like that. It's possible that this name is an alias and not his real name," Yao Nian said.

"Go and look into all the charity banquets that Qian'e had attended and check on all the guests. If I find out more information, I'll pass it to you," Qiao Mei said.

After Yao Nian said what he wanted to say, he ran off. This was the first time he was so enthusiastic about helping Qiao Mei with an investigation. It was not only because there was a lot of money to be made this time, but more because this was a challenge to him. He must find out who this person named "Nan Dong" was!

Qiao Mei leaned back in the rocking chair and pondered over this matter. Qian'e had gone through so much in her life and was already in a state of physical and mental exhaustion. Although Qian'e had never complained to her about having such a life, she knew that Qian'e really wanted to have a family of her own.

Given the circumstances Qian'e was in, she would not be able to see a person's true nature clearly and Nan Dong had taken advantage of this loophole. If one got to know a new person and within a short period of time, found that the person was compatible with one in every way, as if this person was one's soulmate, then there was definitely something wrong with this person.

The next morning, Qiao Mei packed up a few things and went to the factory. This time, the security officer did not try to stop her. She walked into the office where Qian'e was and said, "Is there supposed to be a gala tonight?"

"I thought you never like to go to these places? I had even intercepted the invitation card meant for you," Qian'e said as she rummaged through the invitation cards in her drawer.

"I'm suddenly tempted to go and take a look. There's nothing much going on at home," Qiao Mei said.

"Then who's going to take care of the three children?" Qian'e asked.
