From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 337: Bai Jingting Defends Qiaoqiao

Nan Qiao arrived at Yao Yuzhi’s hospital room, with Bai Jingting’s face still very somber.

Yao Yuzhi, seeing Nan Qiao coming, broke into a rare smile.

But the smile was awkward, even uglier than crying.

Upon seeing this, Nan Qiao spoke up: "Granny, if you want to cry, cry to big brother, I’m not good at comforting people. My timing isn’t great, I’ll step out for now."

As Nan Qiao turned to leave, Yao Yuzhi called out: "Qiaoqiao, that’s not what Granny means."

Nan Qiao: ??

Was she hearing things?

Bai Jingting said with a cool voice, "Granny, your smile frightened my sister."

Yao Yuzhi: "..."

Nan Qiao turned around, and Yao Yuzhi showed a genuinely happy smile, her voice much softer: "Qiaoqiao, Granny owes you an apology, I’ve been wrong in the past. I’m old and anxious, not good with words, and I’ve got a bad temper. Qiaoqiao, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I’m here to sincerely apologize to you."

Nan Qiao’s gaze instinctively turned to Bai Jingting.

Yao Yuzhi’s significant change must have been influenced by Bai Jingting.

Nan Qiao showed a polite smile: "Granny, you’re too formal. We’re family, there’s no need for such courtesy."

Yao Yuzhi felt bitter inside; Bai Jingting, another family member, certainly wouldn’t threaten her.

Yao Yuzhi was not afraid of Chen Xinwan, but now she feared Bai Jingting.

When Bai Jingting spoke to her, his whole being exuded an authority that struck fear into Yao Yuzhi.

Bai Jingting warned Yao Yuzhi that if she kept causing trouble, he would terminate the collaboration with Chen Hesong.

If Chen Hesong ran out of money, Yao Yuzhi’s days wouldn’t be easy either.

After much thought, Yao Yuzhi knew, she could not afford to antagonize Nan Qiao.

The hospital’s doctors also came to confirm that they had observed the surgery, and Nan Qiao’s medical skills surpassed theirs.

Yao Yuzhi thought it over a lot and acknowledged that Nan Qiao’s medical skills were indeed formidable.

Yao Yuzhi stopped reminiscing, and with a chuckle, she said: "Qiaoqiao, it was all my fault before, I won’t speak such words in the future, I love you, just like I love Manman."

Nan Qiao: "..."

She didn’t expect Yao Yuzhi to love her; not harming her would already be good enough.

Nan Qiao sat down: "Granny, it’s not that I don’t want to save you, but your condition is very complicated. The poisonous insect has been in your body for too long; drawing it out won’t be easy. Moreover, if we extract the insect, there’s a high chance you could end up paralyzed in bed, unable to sit."

Yao Yuzhi: "..."

"Qiaoqiao, aren’t your medical skills very powerful? My condition can’t be that complicated, right?"

Bai Jingting: "Don’t you know the state of your own body?"

Of course, Yao Yuzhi was aware, she just desperately wished to stand up.

"Qiaoqiao, if the insect isn’t removed, will it affect my body?"

Nan Qiao: "Yes, it will have a serious impact. If you hadn’t been cursed with the poisonous insect, you could’ve lived much longer."

Yao Yuzhi’s mood worsened.

At the end of the day, it was all Bai Yurou’s fault!

Yao Yuzhi, feeling downtrodden, pleaded with a smile: "Qiaoqiao, please think of a way to save Granny. Xinwan has just brought you back, and my mood has improved a lot. I want to see more of Xinwan, she’s my only daughter."

Nan Qiao watched as Yao Yuzhi’s mood turned from sunny to overcast, with tears welling up in her eyes.

Bai Jingting said icily: "Granny, put aside personal feelings, don’t scare Qiaoqiao."

Yao Yuzhi: "..."

Her eldest grandson truly had no regard for sentiment!

Yao Yuzhi could only muster a smile: "Qiaoqiao, I’m aware of my bodily state, let’s leave it to fate. I can’t be too demanding."

Nan Qiao responded with a smile: "I’ll do my best, hopefully, it will help."

Bai Jingting stood up: "Qiaoqiao, let’s go out first, you haven’t eaten yet, you must be hungry."

"A little." Nan Qiao also stood up.

Bai Jingting took Nan Qiao and walked out, like an emotionless robot.

...

Nan Qiao sat in Bai Jingting’s car, returning home with her elder brother.

"Qiaoqiao, are you confident that you can cure Granny?"

Nan Qiao: "Yes, it’s just going to take some time."

"Qiaoqiao, there’s no need to rush to treat her. Let her wait a bit, lest she take her health for granted. Plus, if you treat her, she’ll become even more sprightly."

Nan Qiao chuckled, her elder brother was really quite funny.

However, what her brother said made sense, and Nan Qiao was going to heed his advice.

"Big brother, I’ll do as you said. I also need time to prepare, and right now I really can’t perform surgery on Granny."

Bai Jingting lifted the corners of his mouth, bringing Nan Qiao back home.

...

As Nan Qiao entered the living room, she caught sight of Li Yehan’s figure.

Hasn’t Li Yehan left work too early?

"Li Yehan, what are you doing at my house?" Bai Jingting coldly asked.

Li Yehan sat on the sofa, relaxed and at ease, as if he were at his own home.

"Aunty invited me to have dinner at your house. It would be impolite not to accept the invitation, so here I am," said Li Yehan with calm composure.

Bai Jingting did not expect Li Yehan to have such thick skin. His mother must have mentioned it casually, but Li Yehan took it seriously.

Li Yehan picked up a milk tea from the table: "Qiaoqiao, I bought you a milk tea."

Nan Qiao’s eyes brightened upon seeing Li Yehan.

Touching her stomach, Nan Qiao shook her head: "I’d better not drink the milk tea, it really makes you gain weight easily."

"My sister doesn’t like milk tea, Li Yehan, next time don’t buy it for her," said Bai Jingting seriously.

Li Yehan felt Bai Jingting’s hostility but didn’t take it to heart.

Li Yehan put down the milk tea: "If Qiaoqiao doesn’t want to drink it, then let’s not drink it."

Bai Jingting continued: "Li Yehan, isn’t your company busy? Hasn’t Li Ye made his move for power? And yet you still have the mood to dine here?"

"There’s always a mood to eat, especially when it comes to dining with Qiaoqiao. Though the company is busy, I have the capability to deal with these matters."

Bai Jingting: "..."

Li Yehan is really not modest at all.

Bai Jingting heard that Li Ye was instigating shareholders, attempting to drive Li Yehan out of the company.

Seeing Li Yehan respond to these questions so undisturbed, Bai Jingting could see that Li Yehan was a capable man.

Would Qiaoqiao suffer if she followed him?

Bai Jingting dared not jump to conclusions too quickly; he would need to observe for a while longer.

Nan Qiao sat on the couch, feeling like the filling in the middle of a sandwich cookie.

Does big brother dislike Li Yehan?

Why doesn’t he like him?

Just then, Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang returned, followed closely by Grandpa Li.

After Granny Bai woke up, things at home settled down, and the couple went traveling, not yet returned.

Grandpa Li entered with a smile on his face, amiable and approachable.

"Qiaoqiao, I brought some gifts for you."

Grandpa Li handed them over, but Nan Qiao did not accept: "Grandpa Li, you’ve already given me many gifts, I really can’t accept any more."

Grandpa Li said with a cheerful laugh: "I dote on you as I would my own granddaughter, and you call me grandpa. It’s only right for me to give you gifts, so go ahead and take them."

Nan Qiao had no choice but to accept it, curious to see what the gift was.

If it’s too valuable, she really can’t accept it.

Nan Qiao opened the box...
