1129 Matchmake
Could Xia He have taken a fancy to this person? So that was why she rejected Luo Yu!

“Oh~ Since you’re about the same age as my elder sister and the two of you are old classmates, can I call you Big Brother Deng?” Qiao Mei asked politely.

“Of course,” Deng Fan nodded and said.

Xia He rolled her eyes resignedly. This little girl had addressed Deng Fan as Brother Deng earlier. It seemed that this little girl was going to play matchmaker again!

Without batting an eyelid, Qiao Mei asked Deng Fan about his family situation and what his parents did for a living. She also asked him if he had any other siblings at home. The only thing she did not ask him to do was to recite the names in his family tree!

The person in front of her met all of Xia He’s criteria, other than the condition of both parents having passed away. He was not bad at all, and he was also handsome and very elegant. He and Xia He could be considered to be like-minded and would have common topics. He was 10,000 times better than Kong Lu.

She just did not know where the two of them should live in the future. They could not possibly have to stay with Deng Fan’s parents. After they got married, Qiao Mei would not be able to give Xia He a house as a gift anymore. Otherwise, that would be such a slap in Deng Fan’s face!

She decided to give some careful consideration to this matter later. For now, she had to matchmake the two of them first! If she could matchmake them, then at least that was done! Qiao Mei was very satisfied with Deng Fan from all angles. All that was left was for Xia He to agree to the arrangement.

The three of them chatted until the sky turned dark. Deng Fan imparted a lot of knowledge about calligraphy and paintings to Qiao Mei and she benefited a lot from the session. She asked Deng Fan to stay for dinner and he only rode his motorcycle home after dinner was over. Xia He stood at the door and watched reluctantly as Deng Fan left the alley, unwilling to go back into the house even after he was gone.

“You’re still looking? It’ll be tomorrow morning soon! You won’t be able to see the sunrise at this door!” Qiao Mei teased with a smile.

“What are you talking about! I’m just enjoying the breeze here! Who’s looking at him! Stop talking nonsense!” Xia He said with a blushing face.

“I didn’t say anything! Why are you so anxious! Who said you were looking at him? You have a guilty conscience and yet you’re blaming me. I feel so wronged!” Qiao Mei said with a grin.

“Who likes him! But you! Why do you try to matchmake everyone you meet! That Qian’e and Zheng Peng from the backyard is still your work-in-progress! Don’t set your sights on me!” Xia He said.

Qiao Mei raised her eyebrows smugly and said, “How do you know I haven’t succeeded?”

Xia He’s eyes widened in an instant. What was going on! Could it be that there was a new development in the backyard! She did not notice anything!

“You must be lying to me. Qian’e hasn’t come to teach Miao Miao for the past few days. How did you manage to matchmake them?” Xia He asked doubtfully.

“It’s beyond your understanding! I have my own ways! You don’t have to care about how I do it. As for you, you have to hold on tight. I think Big Brother Deng is really not bad. He’s such a nice person!” After saying that, Qiao Mei ran back into the room. She was worried that if she was any slower, Xia He would catch hold of her and scold her.

Qian’e had been sick at home for the past few days. Qiao Mei told Zheng Peng about it with a worried expression and asked him to pay Qian’e a visit so that he could help her deliver the supplements she bought for Qian’e. She said that both she and Xia He did not have much time recently, but she could not possibly ask the children to go on her behalf. After a few rounds of persuasion, Zheng Peng finally agreed to go and visit Qian’e.

Qiao Mei did not know if she would succeed in her plan or not, but the truth would be revealed when Qian’e recovered from her illness!
When Xia He reached her room, she could not help but turn around to look in the direction of the main door. She lowered her head and smiled sweetly before entering the room.

Everyone had a good night’s sleep that night and their dreams were filled with sweetness. However, the next morning, Xu Lan received a call from the Bian family, asking her to bring Xia He to the hospital immediately to apologize to Yang Xin. Otherwise, they would ask the art troupe leader to sack Xia He!

The previous art troupe leader had recently retired. The current troupe leader was Bian Ding, Bian Zhuo’s biological uncle. Xu Lan was not very familiar with this person. She heard that he had used some underhanded methods to become the art troupe leader. Otherwise, he would not be able to get the position at all. Moreover, he knew nothing about dancing and was just a boorish person.

Xu Lan hurriedly asked the chauffeur to send her to Qiao Mei’s house to ask Xia He about what happened. She was no longer the rash person from before.
