From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 264 Bite Her
Chapter 264: Chapter 264 Bite Her
Grandpa Li walked over, a smile spreading across his face as he asked, "Qiaoqiao, did you know we were coming and came here especially to wait for Ye Han? Qiaoqiao, you’re really thoughtful."
Nan Qiao: "..."
Now there was a big misunderstanding.
Nan Qiao couldn’t explain herself either; she couldn’t exactly say she was here to talk to Li Yehan about the Black Card, could she?
With too many people around, Nan Qiao couldn’t risk alarming the snake by hitting the grass.
Li Yehan said, "Grandpa, if you keep saying that, Qiaoqiao will get embarrassed."
Grandpa Li laughed heartily: "Ye Han is right, I’m just happy to see Qiaoqiao so cheerful."
...
Everyone arrived in the living room, where Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai were already present.
Nan Qiao was starting to get anxious, but with everyone there, she could only wait patiently.
Upon seeing Granny Bai in good spirits, Grandpa Li couldn’t help but praise her: "Big sister, you’re looking really well."
Grandpa Bai said displeasedly: "Even though you’re younger than me, Zheng Qin, she married me, so you should call her ’sister-in-law,’ since I’m the elder."
Zheng Qin smiled helplessly; these two were always bickering like an old married couple no matter where they went, and she had gotten used to it.
"If I call her ’sister-in-law,’ I’d be aging her too much. I call her ’big sister’ because she is Zheng Qin, not someone’s wife. Old Mr. Bai, do you understand?"
Grandpa Bai: "..."
How did Old Li become so slick with his words!
Zheng Qin spoke up: "Alright now, Old Bai, you say less as well. Guests should be treated as such."
Grandpa Bai always listened to Granny Bai; whatever she said was law.
Indeed, there’s a rule for every situation.
Zheng Qin continued: "Thanks to Qiaoqiao, I was able to come back to life. If it weren’t for Qiaoqiao, I would still be in a vegetative state."
Nan Qiao: "Granny, you have a strong will to live. You also wanted to wake up, you never gave up, and that’s why I was able to revive you."
Grandpa Li had Uncle Fu place the gifts on the table: "Big sister, I bought you some tonics to help you recuperate. At the auction, I also won a hairpin, which I’d like to give to Qiaoqiao."
Nan Qiao: "Grandpa Li, you have already given me many gifts. I can’t accept something so valuable again."
Li Yehan opened his mouth: "If Grandpa gives it to you, just accept it."
Grandpa Bai also refused: "Old Li, do you think I don’t know what you’re trying to do? Courting my granddaughter with gifts, all to take her back to be your grandson’s wife! I advise you to give up that notion, don’t even think about taking my granddaughter away."
No need for pretenses once the secret’s out; Grandpa Li didn’t bother to hide it anymore.
"Just look, I have fate with Qiaoqiao. I fainted by the roadside once, and it was Qiaoqiao who saved me. She saved my life. Isn’t it normal for me to give her gifts? Moreover, Qiaoqiao and Ye Han are in love. You think you can stop your granddaughter? Old Mr. Bai, you have a wife; don’t tell me you won’t allow our Ye Han to also have a wife."
Everyone: "..."
With Grandpa Li speaking so bluntly, Nan Qiao was embarrassed and wanted to leave.
Nan Qiao simply stood up: "I’m going to check on Aunt Liu’s tea."
Li Yehan followed Nan Qiao’s steps, leaving: "The tea is hot; I’m worried it might burn Qiaoqiao. I’ll have a look."
Everyone: "..."
Grandpa Li was proudly satisfied; Li Yehan had inherited his intelligence, indeed perceptive.
Just as Grandpa Bai was about to get angry, Granny Bai restrained him.
"Our guest has arrived, Old Bai, don’t you want to play a game of chess with Old Li?"
When chess was mentioned, both men became eager, each wanting to show off their skill.
...
Nan Qiao led Li Yehan into her laboratory and took out the Black Card.
"Tell me, what exactly is the Black Card for?"
Li Yehan said, "The Black Card is a card issued by an underground secret organization. Having this card signifies that the person is a member of the organization. You see, this card is black with no writing on it, but once you arrive at the entrance of the underground organization, you can see the cardholder’s information there."
Nan Qiao was startled. Bai Yurou was involved with an underground organization?
So, was it those people who had Bai Yurou harm their family?
"The Black Card was something I found in Bai Yurou’s room. It seems Bai Yurou is connected to this mysterious organization."
Li Yehan asked with concern, "Qiaoqiao, are you planning to go and investigate this by yourself?"
Nan Qiao laughed, "You do know me well. Now that I have a lead, I definitely want to go and check it out to confirm the news. I had people follow Bai Yurou, but she still managed to escape."
Bai Yurou must have had someone helping her—only with assistance could she meet up with her contact under cover.
Li Yehan gently took Nan Qiao’s hand, speaking softly and tenderly, "Qiaoqiao, allow me to accompany you; you cannot go there alone. That organization came to Hua Country from overseas, and their roots are still abroad. I have had dealings with this organization before; they’re all cold-blooded killers."
"Rest assured, I value my life highly. So, shall we go together?"
Li Yehan nodded, "Wait for me to check things out and find a suitable time. You took this card from Bai Yurou’s room, so she definitely knows about it. Those people will try to capture you based on this card."
"So what, you plan on getting a new card to take me inside?"
Li Yehan affectionately brushed the tip of Nan Qiao’s nose with his finger, "You clever little thing, nothing escapes your eyes."
Nan Qiao raised her chin and grinned, "Of course, I’m very smart."
Li Yehan was amused by her and couldn’t help it; he kissed her on the lips.
It was as if Li Yehan was addicted, hugging Nan Qiao tightly without letting go.
His fervent kisses fell upon her slender neck, causing Nan Qiao pain, and she pushed Li Yehan away.
"Li Yehan, you must be part dog."
Li Yehan replied with an ambiguous smile, "Then let me allow you to bite back, okay?"
Hell no.
Nan Qiao grabbed a mirror, "Li Yehan!!"
The mark on her neck was too conspicuous, and she was angry.
"Li Yehan, I don’t want to talk to you."
Nan Qiao covered her neck and ran off. There were no cosmetics available here, so she couldn’t cover the mark and could only run back to her room.
Nan Qiao was fast, and Li Yehan chased after her.
Bai Jingting came home and witnessed this scene, quickly stepping in front of Li Yehan.
Bai Jingting’s eyes were cold, his tone reflecting his anger as he questioned, "Li Yehan, how dare you bully my sister!"
Li Yehan was at a loss for words.
The misunderstanding was too great.
"Bai Jingting, you’re mistaken, I haven’t bullied Qiaoqiao. How could I possibly bully Qiaoqiao? Now, or in the future, I would never harm her."
"Then why is Qiaoqiao running? She looks like she’s been crying, you must have bullied her!"
Li Yehan really wanted to sigh. Bai Jingting had turned him into an enemy!
Alright, he had indeed become the Bai Family’s enemy since he was dead set on whisking Nan Qiao away.
"Bai Jingting, I can’t explain this to you right now, you really have the wrong idea. If you don’t believe me, let’s go find Qiaoqiao, and you can ask her?"
"Don’t follow me! I’ll go ask Qiaoqiao myself!"
Bai Jingting turned away coldly, taking a few steps before throwing a warning glare at Li Yehan, not wanting him to follow.
Li Yehan stood still, completely ignoring Bai Jingting’s warning, his long legs taking rapid strides as he started to run.
Seeing him run, Bai Jingting also ran.
The two of them gave chase across the lawn, enacting a dramatic chase scene where one pursued, the other fled, and neither could escape with wings.
