From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 405: Infuriating Li Xia

Ren Yongshi was extremely anxious, terrified that the matter would be exposed and everyone would find out that she had instructed Nie Xinzhu to do such a thing.

Ren Yongshi thought it over; she couldn’t afford to lose her composure, especially since she had given Nie Xinzhu a substantial amount of money.

Just as she was pondering the situation, Lu Tianlei returned.

When Ren Yongshi saw this, she quickly put on a gentle smile. "Tianlei, you’re finally back. You went to celebrate Fan Qiuhe’s birthday over there, and you’ve come back rather quickly."

Ren Yongshi thought Lu Tianlei must still be thinking about her and didn’t want to see Fan Qiuhe anymore.

Just as she was secretly pleased with herself, Lu Tianlei burst into rage, "Don’t even mention it! Fan Qiuhe didn’t want to see me at all. Those two sons of hers have grown wings now and kicked me out. That damned brat Lu Wang—he said he’d hire five male models for Fan Qiuhe and doesn’t need my help! Ungrateful spawn—they’re trying to drive me to my grave!"

Ren Yongshi was dumbfounded. Lu Wang truly lived up to his audacious reputation!

Lu Wang was the eldest in the family, Lu Zhengyang the second, and Lu Chen the youngest.

At first, Fan Qiuhe wasn’t aware of Ren Yongshi’s existence, until after she had Lu Chen and stumbled upon their affair, which led to an explosive confrontation.

Her family didn’t allow her to divorce and used threats and incentives against her. Fan Qiuhe then decided she never wanted to see Lu Tianlei again and lived with her two sons.

When Old Lu found out about the situation, he refused to let Ren Yongshi and her child into the family and ordered Lu Tianlei to send the mother and son far away.

Unexpectedly, after Ren Yongshi and Lu Zhengyang left, they returned again.

Recalling those humiliating memories, Ren Yongshi began fanning the flames: "Tianlei, Lu Chen and Lu Wang have both grown up now. Don’t you think the two brothers might be planning to take control of the company and kick the three of us out?"

"Impossible! My dad wouldn’t allow it! I am his only son. Tomorrow I’ll go visit the old man and have him transfer the shares into my name. I’ll kick those two little bastards out myself."

Ren Yongshi was elated, "Tianlei, you make a good point. Things only belong to us when they’re firmly in our grasp."

Lu Tianlei wholeheartedly agreed with her, and the two began plotting their next move.

...

Nie Xinzhu was frightened but didn’t reveal Ren Yongshi’s involvement. She claimed that not liking Huai Xi’s designs was her fault—was that a crime? She hadn’t killed or set fire to anyone.

Not liking something was simply that—dislike.

Nan Qiao also knew there wasn’t much leverage against Nie Xinzhu in this matter. Even if the police got involved, all they could do was ask Nie Xinzhu to cooperate in investigating the online smear campaign.

Nie Xinzhu adamantly denied knowing anything about it, completed the questioning, and left.

She also understood one thing: Nan Qiao wasn’t someone to trifle with, and she knew better than to provoke her.

...

Nan Qiao arrived at the women’s clothing company and sat down beside Deng Bingying.

"Mr. Qiao, you’re incredible. You even managed to predict today’s situation. Our revenues have multiplied several times. Lots of people are coming to us for clothing designs, and now they’re asking us to design wedding dresses too!"

Wedding dresses?

Nan Qiao had never designed wedding dresses before, but this could be worth exploring.

"Wedding dresses are fine. Yingying, I’ll leave this to you; you handle it first."

"Mr. Qiao, it’s better if you take charge. This is a new venture—if you don’t step in, I’m afraid I’ll mess things up." Deng Bingying lacked confidence.

In front of Nan Qiao, she always felt inadequate.

"Alright then, I’ll design a few wedding dresses first and test the market." ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Deng Bingying nodded repeatedly. "I’ll go contact suppliers for the fabric needed to make wedding dresses."

Their collaboration sped up progress significantly.

Nan Qiao drew up five wedding dress designs on the spot, placed the sketches on the desk, and said to Deng Bingying, "I’m leaving now. The design drafts are here; follow through as needed."

"Got it." Deng Bingying was eager to dive into the work—working with the boss always meant good rewards.

...

Nan Qiao then went to the pharmaceutical company and encountered a familiar face there.

Li Xia was talking to the manager of the pharmaceutical company’s R&D department.

"My leg... does it really have a chance?" Li Xia asked excitedly.

The R&D manager smiled and replied, "Yes..."

Before the manager could finish saying "Yes, there’s hope," Xie Fei spotted Nan Qiao and his eyes lit up.

Just as he was about to greet her, he remembered there were outsiders present—it wouldn’t be wise to reveal Nan Qiao’s secret identity.

Xie Fei continued, "How about this: leave me your number and I’ll have someone contact you later. A doctor will come to your home to treat you."

Li Xia: ??

Weren’t we just having a great conversation? Why did he suddenly change his tone?

"Mr. Xie, can’t the doctor see me today? A friend told me the medical skills here are excellent—why not let them examine me now?"

Xie Fei glanced at Nan Qiao, who was shaking her head.

Understanding her signal, Xie Fei said to Li Xia, "I’m sorry, but the doctors are quite busy today. Some are out on house calls, and others are occupied in the lab."

Li Xia: "..."

Did she mishear? She could’ve sworn Xie Fei said they could see her earlier?

Getting anxious, she pressed again. "Mr. Xie, can’t it really be done today?"

"No, truly not. If we had doctors available, I’d let you know right away. Since I haven’t said anything, it means there are none. Go home for now—I’ll inform you as soon as there’s an opportunity."

Left with no alternatives, Li Xia had to leave.

As the servant pushed her wheelchair around, her eyes locked with Nan Qiao’s.

Li Xia: "..."

Nan Qiao was sitting in her chair, dressed in a sleeveless red knee-length dress. Her cascading curls added to her sultry allure.

When Nan Qiao stood up, her shapely figure became apparent—a sight that filled Li Xia with envy.

Li Xia’s own proportions couldn’t compare, especially now that she was sitting in her wheelchair while Nan Qiao stood over her, looking down, fueling her simmering anger.

Nan Qiao glanced at Li Xia’s leg. "Still not healed, huh?"

"You were the one who did this—don’t you know?"

Nan Qiao tutted twice, "Jiang Ningzhu, don’t you start spewing nonsense. When did I ever go that far? Why don’t I remember?"

"Nan Qiao, just because you deny it doesn’t mean you didn’t do it! Now that I’ve found Mr. Xie, my leg will surely get better soon."

Xie Fei: "..."

Xie Fei thought to himself, Sorry, but that’s not going to happen.

Since Nan Qiao was his boss, he only followed her orders.

Remaining silent, Xie Fei let Nan Qiao speak instead. "Oh, well then, I hope you recover soon."

Li Xia: "..."

Fuming, Li Xia glared at Nan Qiao. "Nan Qiao, karma will catch up with you eventually—you’ll pay for what you’ve done!"

Feigning surprise, Nan Qiao said, "Oh, you know that saying too? Then why don’t you try doing good instead of bad all the time?"

Li Xia: "..."

Nan Qiao continued, "Don’t you lose sleep after all the awful things you’ve done?"

Li Xia: "..."

"You probably can’t sleep, right? I can tell just by looking at your complexion."

Li Xia: "..."

Li Xia decided not to say anything further—she didn’t want to leave a bad impression in front of Xie Fei.

"Why are you here?" Li Xia asked through gritted teeth.

"To get medicine, of course—the kind specifically meant for venomous people with hearts like yours. Want to give it a try? I just bought some—I’ll send you a dose."

Li Xia: !!!
