From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 376: Scheming Ulterior Motives

Bai Jingrui walked over quickly.

Nan Qiao also noticed Bai Jingrui and said to Li Yehan, "You stop the car here. My third brother is back. I’ll go take a look."

Li Yehan parked the car, and Nan Qiao got out.

"Third Brother, you’re back!" Nan Qiao walked over with a big smile on her face.

Bai Jingrui was visibly excited and said with a beaming smile, "Sis, I brought you a gift. Come, let me show you."

Li Yehan called out, "I’ll go take a look too. I’m curious to see what you’ve gotten for Qiaoqiao."

"What are you looking at? It’s a gift for my sister. What does it have to do with you?" Bai Jingrui was clearly displeased and immediately tried to shoo him away.

Bai Jingrui urged, "Sis, you go inside first. I have a few words to say to Li Yehan."

Nan Qiao glanced at Li Yehan, who gave her a look, signaling her to go ahead.

Nan Qiao went inside.

Bai Jingrui said to Li Yehan, "Li Yehan, stop scheming over my sister."

"Bai Jingrui, Qiaoqiao is not only your sister, but also my fiancée. I’ve been ’scheming’ for a long time. Besides, Uncle and Aunt have already approved of our relationship. Bai Jingrui, are you trying to stop me and Qiaoqiao? Do you want Qiaoqiao to be upset?"

"Why would I upset Qiaoqiao? She’s my sister." Bai Jingrui was visibly annoyed.

"What you’re doing right now is exactly what’s upsetting her."

Bai Jingrui: "..."

"Li Yehan, stop flattering yourself. My sister with you? There’s nothing set in stone yet. It’s not like she has no other options. There are plenty of great men out there, and maybe she doesn’t even want to get married."

Li Yehan confidently smiled, "Don’t worry. When Qiaoqiao and I host our wedding banquet, I’ll make sure to get you a prime seat."

Li Yehan strode off with large steps, leaving Bai Jingrui furious and chasing after him.

"Li Yehan, stop right there! I haven’t even agreed to let you go inside yet!"

Li Yehan pretended not to hear and, with his long legs, quickly walked off.

...

Nan Qiao returned home. The whole family was there, her eldest and second brothers included—everyone was gathered.

Chen Xinwan stood up and walked toward Nan Qiao with a motherly tenderness in her eyes. "Qiaoqiao, Sister Liu made some bird’s nest soup. Drink a bowl before bed; it’s good for your complexion."

Chen Xinwan’s voice was soft and gentle, like the way Nan Qiao always imagined a mother would sound.

Every time Nan Qiao was around Chen Xinwan, she felt happy and thought of how lucky she was.

"Mom, I’ll drink it in a bit. Thank you, Mom."

Bai Jingting said, "Qiaoqiao, I transferred the company’s dividend to your account. Make sure to check it."

"Dividend?" Nan Qiao was stunned.

Bai Jingting explained, "Everyone in our family gets dividends from the company. Now that you’re back, of course, you’ll have your share too."

Nan Qiao suddenly understood and took out her phone. Seeing the notification and especially the long string of zeroes, she was genuinely surprised. "Eldest Brother, isn’t this too much?"

"Not at all. This is yours. Spend it however you like." Chen Xinwan said with a smile.

Bai Jingting added, "Qiaoqiao, this money is rightfully yours. Keep it."

Nan Qiao didn’t refuse any further. If it was given to her, she’d accept it.

At that moment, Li Yehan and Bai Jingrui walked in.

Bai Jingrui glared at Li Yehan with a menacing expression.

Wherever Li Yehan went, Bai Jingrui followed. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom

Chen Xinwan pulled Bai Jingrui aside and led him outside.

"Lao San, what are you doing?"

"Mom, Li Yehan has bad intentions toward Qiaoqiao. Have you really agreed to let them be together?"

Chen Xinwan whispered, "Are you stupid? You can date, but your sister can’t? Besides, as long as Qiaoqiao is willing and the other party has a good character and loves her, isn’t that enough?"

Bai Jingrui stubbornly said, "I don’t think Li Yehan is all that great."

"You’re not in a relationship with him. How would you know if he’s good or not?"

Bai Jingrui: "..."

"Lao San, you haven’t spent time with Li Yehan, so you can’t just decide he’s a bad person, right? I see that Qiaoqiao seems to get along well with Ye Han. If Qiaoqiao likes him, then I approve."

Bai Jingrui: "..."

Why did it sound like he was the bad guy here?

"Lao San, think it over carefully. I’m heading back inside."

...

The gift Bai Jingrui gave Nan Qiao was a Luminous Pearl around 60 centimeters in diameter, worth fifteen million dollars.

The pearl emitted a soft glow, and everyone gathered around to admire it.

"Sis, I heard about this Luminous Pearl at an auction, so I disguised myself to go and buy it. It suits you perfectly."

"Thank you, Third Brother. I love the gift."

"As long as you like it, that’s all that matters."

As far as Bai Jingrui was concerned, as long as his sister was happy, the money was well spent.

Li Yehan also complimented, "Bai Jingrui, you’ve got great taste in gifts."

"Of course I do. I’ve always been great at this." Bai Jingrui replied smugly.

Li Yehan didn’t say anything further. No matter what Bai Jingrui said, his expression remained calm.

...

Nan Qiao went to her room and took a bath.

With her hair wrapped in a towel, she called Deng Bingying.

"Bingying, your designs this time are excellent. For the next quarter, we’ll use your designs."

Deng Bingying was thrilled. Every time Nan Qiao praised her, she was ecstatic.

"Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Qiao."

"You’ve done a great job," Nan Qiao reaffirmed her abilities.

Deng Bingying mentioned, "A new fashion company just opened. I looked at their designs—they’re bold in color and very creative. I looked into it; their public-facing representative is a newcomer I haven’t heard of in the industry."

"I’ll have someone investigate. We have our strengths too. Fashion is all about skill and creativity."

"You’re absolutely right, Mr. Qiao. With you leading us, we’re all confident."

Nan Qiao chatted with her for a bit longer before hanging up.

After that, Nan Qiao handled some other work.

By the time everything was done, it was already one in the morning.

Nan Qiao lay down and quickly fell asleep.

...

Li Yehan was about to leave and sneak over Nan Qiao’s wall when his phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Li Yehan answered. After hearing the news, he merely let out a grunt before ending the call.

Not long after, Old Mr. Li arrived.

Old Mr. Li sat down and placed a share transfer agreement on the table.

"Ye Han, your father has lost his mind. He’s trying to demand company shares from me. These are my shares, and I’m transferring them to you. Once you sign, the agreement takes effect, and he can forget about it!"

"Why do you even see him? Can’t you just avoid him?" Li Yehan said sternly.

"You know your father’s temper. If he doesn’t see me, he throws a tantrum. The household staff knows about our strained relationship, but they can’t do much about him. I can’t just hide all the time." Old Mr. Li sighed. "Ye Han, you have no idea how hard it is to be a father."

Li Yehan let out a cold laugh. "In front of you, he acts like a son, but in front of Jiang Linyu, he behaves like a servant."

Old Mr. Li: "..."

"Ye Han, watch your mouth. Saying such things to me just makes me feel worse."

Li Yehan replied coldly, "If it makes you feel so bad, then why not get rid of the thorn in your side once and for all?"

Old Mr. Li was stunned. "Ye Han, what are you planning to do?"
