Chapter 163 Cooperative Investment
"Did he contact you?" Li Wanqing asked gently, putting down her teacup.
He Mei knew about this, and she wasn't surprised at all; it only showed that Fan Hua and she had a really good relationship.
She left in a hurry this time, leaving him only a letter, hoping he would see it.
He Mei nodded. "When he told me, I was shocked. It's really unbelievable that you guys could run into someone like that."
Li Wanqing's eyebrows curved into a smile, as warm and bright as the spring sun. "I also find it unbelievable, but it just so happened."
He Mei nodded, her expression tinged with emotion. "Fan Huaren is a good person, hardworking and ambitious, but unfortunately, he's had some bad luck. I don't know whether to be happy or unhappy about doing business with you."
She was happy that Fan Huan had found a way out, but she was also worried that his bad luck would affect Li Wanqing.
Li Wanqing patted He Mei on the shoulder, her smile carrying a hint of nonchalance and confidence, "Don't worry! Who knows, maybe I'm just naturally lucky?"
Otherwise, how could someone die and still travel through time to be reborn?
Upon hearing this, He Mei's worries gradually dissipated. Looking at Li Wanqing's confident face, she felt a surge of admiration.
"You're amazing, you can take everything so lightly. I wish I had half your mindset." Her tone carried a hint of envy and self-deprecation.
Li Wanqing smiled and didn't say anything more.
She knew that everyone has their own personality and way of doing things.
Although He Mei can be impulsive at times, she is kind-hearted, sincere, and her intentions are always good.
This is one of the reasons why she was willing to become good friends with He Mei.
Suddenly, Li Wanqing thought of a possibility, and her eyes lit up.
She grabbed He Mei's hand and said excitedly, "Weren't you worried? Why don't you invest too? Let's do it together!"
Upon hearing this, He Mei felt a surge of excitement, as if she had found a new direction.
"Okay! How much does it cost? I'll come pick it up in a bit!" Her tone was firm and full of anticipation.
Li Wanqing gave a rough estimate, which wasn't much for He Mei.
“Then I’ll join! I’ll be waiting for you to take me flying!” He Mei said with a smile, her eyes sparkling with anticipation and hope for the future.
Seeing He Mei's enthusiasm, Li Wanqing felt a little uncomfortable and asked uncertainly, "Are you serious?"
He Mei nodded firmly, her eyes revealing an unprecedented determination. "Of course!"
He then explained, "Zhou Weifeng's family isn't well-off, and we can't rely on our parents entirely in the future. So it's always good to make plans early."
Moreover, you are a smart and bold person; following you will definitely not be a mistake!
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing felt a surge of warmth in her heart, and she gladly accepted He Mei's invitation to join her team.
The two were having a pleasant conversation when Meng Renjie returned from the hospital carrying Nuonuo.
Upon seeing Nuonuo, He Mei showered her with affection, as if all her troubles had vanished.
Li Wanqing suggested going for a walk outside, but Meng Renjie and Cao Xuefeng were both tired and said they wanted to rest at the guesthouse.
Therefore, only Li Wanqing, her daughter, and He Mei went out.
Walking on the streets of the county town, He Mei bought a bunch of things for Nuonuo, and Li Wanqing couldn't refuse her even if she wanted to.
Finally, Li Wanqing said helplessly, "You can buy it, but I'll factor that money into your investment later."
He Mei was naturally unwilling, but seeing Li Wanqing's determined eyes, she had no choice but to stop shopping.
She then suggested, "Let's go to a state-run restaurant for dinner. Nono has never been to a state-run restaurant in the county town before."
Li Wanqing initially wanted to refuse, but seeing Nuonuo's expectant little eyes, she finally had no choice but to agree.
"You can go, but it's on me," she said beforehand.
He Mei took her hand and urged with a smile, "Okay, okay, whatever you say. I'm hungry."
The three arrived at the state-run restaurant, ordered some dishes, and prepared to find a seat.
He Mei was teasing Nuonuo, and the two were laughing happily when suddenly a crying sound came from outside the restaurant.
"I want to go in! I want to eat!" A man's voice came through, tinged with sobs.
"I want to eat meat! If you don't give me any, I'll cry!" The voice became increasingly hysterical.
Immediately following was a chorus of curses, attracting the attention of many. The cashier at the state-run restaurant, unable to bear it any longer, went outside.
"Comrades, you'd better leave quickly. This is the entrance to a state-run restaurant," the cashier advised, hands on her hips.
He Mei was very curious and wanted to go see what was going on, but Li Wanqing stopped her.
"Don't go there." Her voice carried a hint of wariness.
He Mei was a little puzzled, as there was a wall blocking her view from her position.
From Li Wanqing's angle, however, she could see clearly. "That person outside is Lu Wei," Li Wanqing said in a low and serious voice.
He Mei was slightly startled. "Lu Wei? This... how could this be?"
Upon closer listening, she realized the voice did indeed sound somewhat like Lu Wei's, but his behavior and actions were simply not up to par with Nuonuo, a child not even two years old.
Li Wanqing shook her head, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. "I don't know either. I didn't go to see him in person back then."
If Lu Wei's situation really was caused by Cheng Zhenxing, then the fact that the Lu family could issue a letter of understanding because of money... is truly astonishing.
He Mei couldn't help but peek out and saw that he was wearing a dirty single shirt and no coat at all.
It's not even the end of the first month of the lunar calendar yet, and it's bitterly cold outside. Even wearing a cotton-padded coat and a scarf, she still doesn't feel warm.
His hair was a mess, a far cry from his usual respectable appearance.
If it weren't for his voice and Li Wanqing's words, she probably wouldn't have recognized him at first glance.
He Mei sighed, never expecting that their reunion would be like this.
She only wanted to take a look out of curiosity, but she didn't expect that Lu Wei would see her with just that one glance.
Lu Wei's dull expression suddenly brightened the moment he saw He Mei.
He grinned foolishly in He Mei's direction, calling out, "Wife! Wife!"
"My little wife!" His voice was filled with a mixture of infatuation and madness. "I'm going to take my little wife home."
He Mei's pupils contracted in fright, and she quickly retreated, her whole body tense, her heart pounding in her throat.
Lu Wei couldn't see anyone, and for a moment his expression was blank.
Immediately afterward, he became visibly anxious, crying out, "Wife, wife, where is my wife?"
As he spoke, he panicked and struggled to rush inside.
No one could stop them, even if they wanted to.
Even worse was the cashier at the state-run restaurant, who was knocked to the ground by Lu Wei and cried out in pain.
Everyone was shocked by this sudden turn of events, especially He Mei.
If I had known, I wouldn't have bothered to take a look out of curiosity.
