NovelEnglishAfter Transmigrating, The Fat Wife Made A Comeback!
Chapter 879 Sending MoneyQiao Mei asked curiously, "Is it gold?"
"No, no! Guess again!" Li Gui said excitedly.
Qiao Mei thought really hard about it but really could not figure out what Li Gui was up to. Seeing that Qiao Mei was at a loss, Li Gui quickly took out the chocolate from her breast pocket.
However, the chocolate was in a completely different state from when she received it. It was soft to the touch and black liquid kept flowing out from the gaps in the corners. Li Gui was sure that she saw an entire piece of chocolate earlier!
"What! What's going on! That woman lied to me!" Li Gui was so anxious that she almost cried.
Qiao Mei quickly went to the kitchen to get a bowl and put the melted chocolate in it. Li Gui would definitely feel very sad if she just threw it away.

"It was still in good condition when I got it! Oh my, what a pity!" Li Gui said sadly as she looked at the chocolate in the bowl.
Qiao Mei took the chocolate to the kitchen and poured it into the pot to make popcorn. Soon, a pot of fragrant chocolate cream popcorn was ready.
The entire courtyard was filled with the strong smell of chocolate. Qiao Mei called out to the children to try out the new product she had developed.
"Elder sister! What's this! I've never eaten it before!" Zhang Miao asked curiously as she looked at the black popcorn in her hand.
"This is chocolate. Mom brought it back for all of you. This is something that's especially difficult to get!" Qiao Mei said.
Li Gui was still brooding over this matter. If not for the fact that she was so clueless, the children would have been able to taste chocolate. Qiao Mei could tell that Li Gui was feeling down and brought a big basin of chocolate popcorn to her.
"Mom, look, it's chocolate-flavored!" Qiao Mei smiled and put a piece of popcorn in Li Gui's mouth.
Li Gui smiled and ate it. It was her first time eating chocolate and she felt that the taste was really strange. It tasted different from the sweets she usually ate.
"Delicious! This is really delicious!" Li Gui said.
"This thing can't withstand heat as it's very delicate. But we can still taste the chocolate now," Qiao Mei said.
The chocolate sold on the market were all from overseas and even then, it was rare to see imported chocolate. The quality of the soil in their country was unable to support the cultivation of such raw materials, so the price of chocolate was more expensive than other foodstuffs.
However, for a family like the Xia family, nothing was a problem.
The next day, it was not Old Madam Fan who came to cause trouble for Qiao Mei. Instead, the person who came was the one she least wanted to see.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmIt had been almost half a month since Qiao Mei came to the capital. In this half a month, He Ning could not find a suitable reason to visit Qiao Mei.
"Say, do you think Qiao Mei needs money now?" He Ning looked at Huo Gao and asked.
Huo Gao lowered his head helplessly. Instead of saying that Qiao Mei was short of money, it would be more appropriate to say that it was He Ning who had a craving. He must be thinking about going to Qiao Mei's place to freeload a meal again.
"Didn't we give her a lot of money the last time? How much can a woman spend?" Huo Gao said.
He Ning shook his head. He did not think so. Recently, his spies near Qiao Mei's house had returned and told him a lot of things, including the dispute between Qiao Mei and Old Madam Fan and the fact that Qiao Mei had bought many properties.
Although He Ning did not know why Qiao Mei wanted to buy so many houses, his intuition told him that Qiao Mei would definitely be renovating these houses soon. The money he sent over was only enough for Qiao Mei to buy so many houses. If she wanted to renovate them, she definitely did not have enough money.
"I don't think she has enough money. Go and get 100,000 dollars out of our company's account and we'll go to Qiao Mei's house to pay her," He Ning said.
"100,000! I'm not going! If you want it, go on your own!" Huo Gao said angrily.
Currently, the He family's businesses were all managed by He Wei and his son, He Li. Although it was not as prosperous as when He Guo was around, it was still profitable.
The He family had only just resolved the family's crisis when He Ning took 150,000 dollars, and now he wanted to go and take another 100,000 dollars. There was not much money left in the company's account. If he went to look for He Wei again, he was afraid that He Wei would use a big stick to beat him out the door.
