Maximize Interest, My Money Grows Infinitely-Chapter 185 - 165: You Want 2 Billion?

[What type of behavior constitutes driving motor vehicles on the road in violation of road safety laws?]

Xiao Meier looked at the four options on her phone, hesitating between the choices of violation of regulations, violation of law, and violation of rules.

"Which one should I choose?" Her brows furrowed as she looked at the similar descriptions,

"Violation of regulations? Doesn’t seem quite accurate. Violation of rules? Doesn’t feel quite right either. Violation of law, yes, it should be violation of law!"

After submitting her answer, a score of 99 appeared on the screen.

"Haha! Not bad this time!"

She excitedly reviewed the incorrect answers, "Let’s do it again, aiming to pass the first subject in one go!"

"Hello~"

Just as she was preparing to intensely review questions again before the opening of Wanbao Hall, a voice interrupted Xiao Meier’s plan.

She looked up and saw Hoshino Mika standing in front of her, smiling, "Hello, are you here to eat? We’re not open yet."

Hoshino Mika shook her head, dressed very modestly today.

In a beige dress, the hem embroidered with delicate light blue flowers, fresh and natural.

Her face was hardly made up, with just a light touch of pink blush and long eyelashes curling slightly, fluttering.

Mei Xiang also caught sight of Xiao Meier’s face, amazed by her stunning beauty.

"Miss? Miss?" Xiao Meier called out twice to bring Mei Xiang back from her trance.

"Sumimasen." Mei Xiang bowed, "I’m here to see Mr. Chen Cheng."

Xiao Meier then realized that the young lady in front of her was not a local, yet she still spoke with a smile, "Xiao Cheng had a bit too much to drink last night, he’s still not up."

She walked out from behind the cash register, bringing her usual enthusiasm, "Please have a seat here and wait for a while."

"Thank you."

Mei Xiang followed Xiao Meier’s steps to a table near the door and sat down.

She curiously looked around Wanbao Hall, "Is this Mr. Chen Cheng’s business?"

Xiao Meier smiled, "Yes, Wanbao Hall is something Xiao Cheng has put a lot of thought into."

Mei Xiang nodded gently, her gaze still wandering around, "It looks very nice."

At that moment, Xiao Meier turned around and poured a glass of water for Mei Xiang, placing it in front of her, "Have some water first."

Mei Xiang accepted the glass with both hands, politely expressing her thanks.

"Have you had breakfast?" Xiao Meier asked further.

Mei Xiang shook her head.

"Would you like something to eat? It might be a while before Xiao Cheng comes."

"Wouldn’t it be too troublesome for you?"

Xiao Meier shook her head with a smile, "Not at all! Wanbao Hall is always ready to welcome guests."

Saying so, she went into the kitchen and soon brought out several delicate pastries.

"These are our new items, with flavors of matcha, mango, and hawthorn." Xiao Meier explained, "Please eat these while I make something warm for you." freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"Thank you."

Mei Xiang picked up a pastry and took a gentle bite. Her eyes instantly lit up, "This is delicious!"

Xiao Meier watched Mei Xiang’s satisfied expression and also smiled happily.

"You sit here, rice wine sweet dumplings okay?"

"Yes!"

Xiao Meier went back into the kitchen, and soon, a bowl of steaming sweet dumplings was brought out.

She placed it in front of Mei Xiang, "Be careful, it’s hot."

Mei Xiang looked up curiously, "Sister, are you the owner?"

Xiao Meier nodded, "Yes."

"Mr. Chen Cheng is very lucky!" Mei Xiang smiled brightly.

Xiao Meier sat down, "By the way, what do you need Xiao Cheng for? If it’s urgent, I can call him to come earlier."

Mei Xiang put down her spoon, "No need, no need. Mr. Cheng and Aunt Wen must have had quite a lot to drink last night, I can wait."

"Wen... Aunt? Wen Shulin?"

Mei Xiang nodded, "Sister, do you know Aunt Wen too?"

Xiao Meier covered her mouth and chuckled softly, "I know Sister Lin very well! But calling her ’Aunt’..."

She thought for a moment, and considering that Mei Xiang looked about twenty-one or twenty-two years old, calling Wen Shulin "Aunt" seemed appropriate.

"My father and Aunt Wen are good friends, she used to hold me when I was a child."

Mei Xiang explained, "I used to call her sister too, but my father said it was disrespectful, so he asked me to call her aunt."

"I see~" Xiao Meier found this young lady to be quite extraordinary.

She smiled, "Just eat, Xiao Cheng will be here soon."

"Sure!"

Mei Xiang picked up her small spoon again, scooped a thumb-sized sweet dumpling, and as soon as she tasted it, her eyes widened.

"What’s wrong?" Xiao Meier asked.

"This flavor, it’s exactly like what my mom used to make!"

Xiao Meier was taken aback, then laughed.

Mei Xiang stirred the sweet dumplings in the bowl, "I haven’t tasted this familiar flavor in a long time, not since my mom..."

She paused, not continuing further.

"Your mother is..."

Mei Xiang continued, "My mom was a student who studied in Japan, she met and fell in love with my dad at Waseda University."

"No wonder your Chinese is so good."

Mei Xiang: "Mom taught me Chinese since I was little, she said not to forget our roots. But later... my mom passed away due to an illness."

Mentioning this, her eyes started to well up.

"Don’t be too sad, I’m sure your mom in heaven would want you to be happy," Xiao Meier comforted.

Mei Xiang sniffled, ’Hmm, I’ll try my best!"

At that moment, Zhao Ling also entered Wanbao Hall.

"Er sister, you came in so early?"

Seeing the guest, she quickly set down the fresh flowers she changed daily at the door, "Do you need me to do anything?"

Xiao Meier: "The delivery guy will be here later, check on that."

"Okay, Er sister."

Mei Xiang blinked, "Sister, is your surname Er?"
