From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 31 - She’s Just in the Flesh Trade
Chapter 31: Chapter 31 She’s Just in the Flesh Trade
Chapter 31 -31 She’s Just in the Flesh Trade
Bai Yurou was consumed by jealousy, her features twisted in resentment, her gaze venomous.
Her friend, Du Qianqian, patted her arm, “Yurou, what are you staring at?”
Bai Yurou turned her head, expressing her sense of loss and grievance, “I saw my sister with Brother Ye Han, and Brother Ye Han…
he seems to really like my sister.”
“That foster daughter again?
She is so annoying!
Haven’t you and Young Mr.
Li known each other for a long time and developed feelings?
How can she just swoop in and steal your love?
Emotional precedence doesn’t work that way, but isn’t she being shameless by doing this?”
Bai Yurou: …
She watched Du Qianqian, the so-called paragon of justice, and felt like her friend was implying something about her.
Bai Yurou (•́へ•́╬)
“Yurou, you should talk to your parents about this, she’s just a foster daughter after all.
Why treat her so politely?
Just taking her in and providing her a life of luxury is already more than enough, what more does she want?”
Bai Yurou: !!
She shouldn’t have discussed this with the self-righteous Du Qianqian!
“Qianqian, my parents are quite fond of her, so it’s not easy for me to speak ill of her.
As long as she treats Brother Ye Han well, I can tolerate it.”
Bai Yurou relied on the fact that the Bai Family wouldn’t reveal Nan Qiao’s identity, so she was unconcerned.
Du Qianqian sneered, “Hmph, we are not going to hang out with her.
Even if she is now the miss of the Bai Family, she doesn’t have any real skills; Young Mr.
Li will realize that sooner or later.”
Bai Yurou smiled and nodded, linking arms with Du Qianqian as they walked forward, “Qianqian, let’s go have lunch.”
“Sure.”
The two ate together, but Bai Yurou was restless.
She had thought that the Zhou Hongqi’s family of three would succeed, but those three, not one of them was competent, leaving her speechless.
…
Zhou Jingya returned home and told Liu Yanfang about how Nan Qiao had stolen her fiancé.
Liu Yanfang hadn’t expected that after Nan Qiao was driven out, she would retaliate against them.
“Well done, I’ve raised a disaster at home!
I helped her find her parents, and this is how she repays me!”
“Mom, the man who stood up for Nan Qiao today, he looked like someone with money.
Nan Qiao is really something, finding one impressive man after another!”
Liu Yanfang agreed without hesitation, “That Nan Qiao is just trading on her looks; it’s so embarrassing!
Xiao Ya, how can she compare with you!”
Mother and daughter conspired together and went to Zhou Hongqi to discuss this matter, but Zhou Hongqi scolded them.
“You two stop causing trouble!
The business is just getting on track.
If you provoke Nan Qiao again and she has any evidence, what will we do if our family of three gets sued!”
Even so, Liu Yanfang didn’t give up her plans because of his words.
“Don’t listen to your father.
I’ll make the decisions about your marriage.”
Zhou Jingya happily hugged Liu Yanfang’s arm, “Thank you, Mom.”
…
Nan Qiao and Li Yehan sat in a café.
Nan Qiao returned the Black Card to him, “Mr.
Li, with such a high-profile gesture, what exactly are you trying to do?”
Even if Li Yehan hadn’t appeared, she could have handled the situation on her own.
Li Yehan’s handsome face warmed with a smile, “Isn’t my intention clear enough?”
Nan Qiao: ?
“What do you mean?”
“I’m pursuing you.”
Nan Qiao looked incredulously at Li Yehan, sizing him up.
The man’s eyebrows were sharp and his gaze strong, even seemingly affectionate?
Nan Qiao stood up, displeased, “If you think I’m different from the other women you’ve met and want to toy with me, I advise you to abandon that thought!
I suggest you stop while you’re ahead!”
Nan Qiao turned on her heel and walked away.
Li Yehan: ??
Li Yehan stood up, intent on catching up with Nan Qiao’s pace, but his phone rang—it was a call from Grandpa.
Li Yehan took the call, and Old Mr.
Li on the other end spoke irritably, “Ye Han, how are your pursuits with Qiaoqiao progressing?
Have you won over Qiaoqiao yet?”
Li Yehan was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, “She thinks I’m a womanizer.”
Old Mr.
Li’s tone was fiercely angry, “What did you do?
You didn’t try to force yourself on her, did you?
Li Yehan!
You’ve been restraining yourself for over twenty years, can’t you hold back a bit longer?
Qiaoqiao is such a fragile and socially anxious girl; how could you do something so shameless!!”
Li Yehan pulled the phone away, far from his ear.
“Grandpa, I’m not the person you think I am, I didn’t do anything.
She misunderstood, thinking that I’m toying with her because I think she’s special.”
Old Mr.
Li finally breathed a sigh of relief and continued to lecture, “You’re top-notch when it comes to being a dominating CEO, but when it comes to chasing girls, you’re really hopeless.”
Old Mr.
Li hung up the phone.
Li Yehan stepped outside, and Secretary Zhao approached with a smile, “Mr.
Li, Miss Nan Qiao left in such a hurry; was she too taken aback, maybe shy?”
Li Yehan gave him a cold look, and Secretary Zhao took two steps back, alarmed, “What’s wrong?”
“Do you still have to ask?
You told me that when chasing a girl, I need to be bold, attentive, and shameless, but I’ve forgotten that you are still single; how dare you give me advice?”
Secretary Zhao: …
That hit me right in the feels, bro!
“Mr.
Li, that was the first rule I found online in an all-night search for guides on chasing girls.
Could it be that you were too bold?
You didn’t do anything indescribable to Miss Nan Qiao, did you!”
Li Yehan didn’t want to bother with the idiot that was Secretary Zhao; he strode away with his long legs, moving briskly, while Secretary Zhao jogged ahead, realizing he had made a bad suggestion.
What to do now?
…
Nan Qiao sat in a bubble tea shop, growing a bit angry as she thought about the day’s events.
In high school, she had once been aggressively pursued by a guy for a while, but one day, she overheard that guy boasting to others that winning her over was a victory and even mentioned some sort of bet.
Remembering this, along with Li Yehan’s behavior today, Nan Qiao equated the two incidents.
Moreover, Li Yehan had broken off an engagement and then saw her at the Bai Family.
Grandpa Li had tried to convince them to fulfill the marriage arrangement at the Bai Family’s place, which she rejected.
Was Li Yehan upset because he had been rejected?
Nan Qiao confided the matter to her best friend Wen Ruan, whose voice was excited and gossipy, “Qiaoqiao, maybe Li Yehan really does want to pursue you.
After all, you’re beautiful, kind-hearted, medically skilled, and a martial arts expert; the Zhou Family’s loss is their loss!
With a beauty like you, who wouldn’t want to be close?”
Nan Qiao: …
“When are you coming back?”
“In a few days, I should be able to return.
I even got the Blood Grass you wanted, so once we’re back, you can continue with your experiment.”
Nan Qiao exhaled a sigh of relief, seeing hope.
“That’s great, Ruanruan, you’ve worked hard.
I’ll treat you to a meal when you get back.”
“Sure thing, Qiaoqiao, but I think you should observe Li Yehan a bit longer.”
Nan Qiao: …
Nan Qiao hung up the phone, convinced there was no need for further observation.
Nan Qiao took a ride back home.
As soon as she got out of the car, Bai Yurou, who had returned from work, spotted her.
Seeing Nan Qiao return alone, Bai Yurou’s eyes lifted in a taunting arc, “Sister, why did you come back by yourself today?
Where’s Brother Ye Han, how come he’s not with you?”
Although Bai Yurou tried her best to appear amiable, the smile lifting at the corners of her mouth was something even an AK48 couldn’t suppress.
