294 Very High
Fang Ming knocked on the door and entered. He glanced at the cake box on the table and couldn’t help but complain in his heart. How could he secretly chase after their wife now? If he had the ability, he should go and buy it himself. If he let others go, even if they buy the entire shop, Young Madam wouldn’t even know that it was him.
Of course, President Xiao Qiao wouldn’t let him buy it. She wasn’t short of money.
“What is it?” Nangong Jue realized that Fang Ming had been staring at his cake box the moment he entered. He hurriedly closed the box and placed it in the drawer under the table.
The corners of Fang Ming’s mouth twitched. Was this dog boss afraid that he would snatch his cake? He was too petty. However, although he was complaining, he still didn’t forget his job. “Madam Qiao Zi brought the Qiao family’s young master to Xiling City yesterday. She will eat with Young Mistress at noon today. They’ve decided to go to Shang Shan Palace.”
“Qiao Zi and Qiao Sen?” Nangong Jue frowned slightly.
“Yes.” Fang Ming smiled in his heart. “I heard that… the Qiao couple thinks very highly of Young Mistress. They probably want to matchmake her with Young Master Qiao.”
Nangong Jue’s expression darkened. “What do you mean?”
“They just… think highly of her.” Fang Ming paused. He only found out about this when his people accidentally heard the conversation between Qiao Zi and Qiao Sen in the hotel.
“No.” Nangong Jue suddenly stood up, but he hesitated. After walking back and forth twice, he suddenly stopped. “Didn’t President Yuan of Jingrui Chemicals ask me out many times?”
Fang Ming nodded. “Indeed, he has tried five times.”
“Inform him to meet at Shang Shan Palace at noon.”
Fang Ming nodded and immediately turned to make arrangements.
At eleven o’clock, Le Yao and Qiao Qiao set off because the hotel where Qiao Zi and Qiao Sen were staying was very close to the Shang Shan Palace. It was only a five-minute drive.
Shang Shan Palace was an old restaurant. It was said that the founder was once an imperial chef, so the banquet here was very good. However, the price was also high. There were very few seats without reservation.
“It’s obvious that this place has a history.” Le Yao had passed by the entrance before, but she had never come in. At this moment, she looked at the waitresses in qipaos and the antique pavilions. She couldn’t help but be surprised.
“Indeed. It’s said that this place was built after the ancient palace garden. These murals and whatnot are all simulated from the palace.”
Le Yao nodded and followed the beautiful lady through the pavilions. Finally, they arrived at the private room they had booked, Cining Pavilion.
“Is this named after the Cining Palace?”
“Yes.” Qiao Qiao nodded. “The private rooms here are all named after palaces. They just changed the word ‘palace’.”
“That’s interesting.”
“Darling Qiao.” The two of them were standing at the door studying the plaque when an exclamation came from behind.
Qiao Qiao turned around and pounced on her. “Auntie.”
Le Yao hurriedly turned around and saw a few people coming over. Leading them was a valiant middle-aged woman, and beside her was a handsome young man. She knew them. They were Qiao Zi and Qiao Sen.
The others were Qiao Zi’s manager, assistant, and bodyguards.
Qiao Zi instantly opened her arms and hugged Qiao Qiao. “My baby is getting prettier.”
“I take after Auntie. It’s because Auntie is beautiful that I’m beautiful.” Qiao Qiao was really close to her Auntie, so she didn’t realize that she was wheedling.
