Xia Wen did not stand on ceremony with Qiao Mei. He nodded and left her house and then asked his secretary to contact the Huang family. Two days later, Qiao Mei and Xia Wen attended the banquet hosted by the Huang family.
Although they called it a banquet, it was actually just a simple home cooked meal. The Huang family was already at the end of their rope and did not have the money to go to a restaurant at all. They simply cooked a few dishes at home.
"Hey! You're here! Come in and take a seat! I cooked all my signature dishes today. It's just some simple dishes. I hope you don't mind!" You Yu said enthusiastically.
"It's fine," Xia Wen said politely.
Qiao Mei did not want to be nice to the Huang family. Huang Zhong's father, Huang Kai, was already terminally ill. In the past, he used to weigh 180 pounds, but now he looked to be only about 80 pounds. His face was gaunt and yellow, as if he would shatter if caught in a gust of wind.
