Chapter 38: Chapter 38 Skinning
Chapter 38 -38 Skinning
At the door, Bai Yurou indeed saw Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang coming back with Nan Qiao.
This scene deeply pierced her heart, sparking jealousy and anger.
Why did they have to treat her this way?
Despite her jealousy, Bai Yurou still put on a smiling face and ran to the door to greet them.
“Dad, Mom, sister, you’re back, did you all have dinner together?”
Bai Yurou’s eyes conveyed her hurt feelings, and she was desperately trying to endure the pain.
Anyone who saw her would feel heartbroken.
Chen Xinwan was holding a bag and said affectionately, “We called you to join us for dinner tonight, but you said you were busy and couldn’t come, so we went ahead.”
Bai Zhenyang also smiled and said, “Yes, we even ran into Ye Han and your Grandpa Li at dinner.”
Bai Yurou: !!
What a miss!
If only she had known, she would have gone!
Chen Xinwan handed her the bag, “This is the osmanthus cake you love.
I packed some to bring back for you.”
“Thank you, Mom, you’re the best to me.”
Bai Yurou happily clung to Chen Xinwan’s sleeve, talking affectionately to her, standing close, as if they were the real mother and daughter.
Nan Qiao didn’t mind this, after all, Bai Yurou had been raised by the Bai Family for eighteen years.
“I’m going to take a shower first.”
Chen Xinwan quickly replied, “Qiaoqiao, you go take a shower and rest, you must be exhausted today.”
Bai Zhenyang said, “I’ll ask the kitchen to stew some soup for you tomorrow morning, you can take it to the office.”
Nan Qiao nodded with a smile and walked in first.
Bai Yurou: ??
Why isn’t Nan Qiao angry?
That’s her mother after all!
Bai Yurou let go of Chen Xinwan’s arm, still smiling, “Dad, Mom, you should also go in and rest.”
The three of them went in to rest together.
…
After Nan Qiao had taken her shower, the phone rang, and it was Li Yehan making the call.
Nan Qiao thought for a few seconds, then answered.
The man on the other end had an extremely magnetic voice, filled with lethal allure.
“Your bracelet fell off, it’s with me.”
Only then did Nan Qiao realize her bracelet was indeed missing.
“If you knew my bracelet was missing, why didn’t you tell me earlier?” she questioned, wondering why he had to call just to inform her.
Li Yehan’s laughter was rich, his mood palpable even over the phone.
In a teasing tone, with a hint of coaxing, “If I had told you earlier, how could I have continued to look for you?”
Nan Qiao: …
Suddenly flustered, Nan Qiao blushed.
Sitting on the couch, the girl bit her red lips, not making a sound.
Li Yehan added, “I’ll meet you for lunch tomorrow to return your bracelet.”
Nan Qiao tried to refuse, “I’m really busy tomorrow.”
“You have to eat no matter how busy you are, and I found your bracelet, aren’t you going to treat me to a meal?”
Alright, Nan Qiao agreed, “It might be a bit late.”
“I’ll wait for you no matter how late,” the man’s magnetic voice, mesmerizing in the quiet night.
Caught off guard, Nan Qiao hung up the phone, while Li Yehan laughed heartily on the other end, his joy as rich as the night.
…
Old Liu knocked and entered, informing Li Yehan of something.
“Mr.
Li, your father is coming back.”
Hearing this, Li Yehan’s face suddenly turned ice cold, his murderous intent fully revealed.
“Have someone watch his every move.”
Old Liu nodded, “Mr.
Li, I’ve already dispatched someone to keep an eye on him.
He must have returned this time for that matter, Mr.
Li, you should prepare early.”
Li Yehan stood by the bed, pulling out a cigarette and putting it in his mouth.
Click, the lighter sparked, igniting the cigarette.
Li Yehan took a drag, his index and middle fingers holding the cigarette, rebellious and dangerously charismatic.
“Let him try if he dares.”
At that moment, Li Yehan was like a wild beast, eyeing his long-preyed target, ready to strike at any moment!
Li Yehan looked out the window, the night had already swallowed the city.
The cigarette, glowing and dimming with Li Yehan’s breaths, and his cold, stern profile, underscored his murderous intent at that moment.
…
When Nan Qiao arrived at the company, Manager Xu followed her into the office.
Manager Xu eyed Nan Qiao sharply, sitting in the chair, just staring at her.
Nan Qiao disliked that look, finding it nauseating.
She sat down, her beautiful face filled with displeasure, “Manager Xu wanted to see me, what for?”
Manager Xu looked at Nan Qiao and spoke in a threatening tone, “President Nan, I know who your backer is.
Given that, shouldn’t we cooperate instead, wouldn’t it be better to work together?”
Nan Qiao: ?
Knowing who her backer was, shouldn’t he be more courteous?
Nan Qiao was curious now, asking puzzled, “Who is my backer?”
Manager Xu took out his phone and placed it in front of Nan Qiao, displaying a photo of Uncle Wang opening the car door for her yesterday.
Nan Qiao: … frёewebηovel.cѳm
So what?
“You think this person is my financier??” Nan Qiao was shocked.
Manager Xu revealed a sinister smile, “Nan Qiao, did you think you could fool me?
This man is old enough to be your father.
If he can, perhaps I could watch over you too?”
Nan Qiao: !!
Dammit!
She had not expected Manager Xu to be so filthy in his thoughts!
Nan Qiao’s icy, disdainful gaze, a perfect ice queen.
“Xu Dayong, you have a dirty mind, everything you see is tainted!
Who said that man is my financier?
Does Nan Qiao need a financier?
I am my own biggest financier!”
Being called out by his full name, Xu Dayong was enraged and humiliated, “Nan Qiao!
Just because a young girl like you becomes the president of the company, do you really think we’re fools?”
Nan Qiao sneered coldly, “Why can’t I be the president?
Who says a young age disqualifies me from being a president?
Does one need to be old to qualify?
Xu Dayong, you’re old, why aren’t you the president?”
Xu Dayong, unable to save face, stood up furiously, eyes blazing, staring fixedly at Nan Qiao.
“If you won’t drink a toast, you’ll drink a forfeit!
Fine, I want to see what kind of shape you manage to get this company into!”
Xu Dayong, holding his phone, stormed out, Nan Qiao’s anger boiling over.
After Xu Dayong left, his lackey rushed over, asking concernedly, “Manager Xu, what happened?”
“Hmph, what else could happen!
The young lady refused a friendly toast and chose a punitive one instead.
I caught her with her financier, and she lashed out at me in embarrassment.”
“I always said she’s too young to be a president, only capable people like you, Manager Xu, should sit in that position.”
Manager Xu glared venomously at Nan Qiao’s office, his lips curling into a malevolent smile, “I want to see what Nan Qiao can achieve!”
…
Nan Qiao went to the fabric field with Manager Xu and Rong Yan.
Today, they were mainly inspecting the site, and if it didn’t meet standards, Nan Qiao would terminate the cooperation.
Li Yehan called, and Nan Qiao answered, “I can’t have lunch with you today, I’m going to inspect a factory.”
“Which factory?”
“Fu Xing Cloth Field, let’s have dinner together tonight.”
“Okay.”
Nan Qiao ended the call, the car still on the road.
Xu Dayong’s eyes gleamed with deceitful laughter, but as he bowed his head, no one could see.
At Fu Xing Cloth Field, he would strip Nan Qiao of a layer.
