From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 289: Don’t You Want to Take Down Li Yehan and Win the Beauty?
Chapter 289: Chapter 289: Don’t You Want to Take Down Li Yehan and Win the Beauty?
Nan Qiao sat in Li Yehan’s car, and before she could speak, Li Yehan buckled her seatbelt for her.
"Li Yehan, he’s still a friend of mine, part of my family. Was what you did today really necessary?"
"Qiaoqiao, don’t be mad, Lan Qingran won’t be either. He’s now my rival in love, which has nothing to do with being your relative. He covets you, and the fact that I haven’t driven him out of Jing City shows I’ve already been more than generous."
Nan Qiao: "..."
Nan Qiao turned her head and thought about it, this was indeed in line with Li Yehan’s way of doing things.
But Lan Qingran was her friend.
"I’ve made things clear to him, so don’t worry too much about it. Li Yehan, could it be that you’re just jealous?"
Li Yehan leaned closer and kissed her lips, looking at her with eyes full of love: "More than just a vat of vinegar, it’s like I’ve knocked over a vinegar factory."
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but laugh and push him: "Just drive."
Li Yehan started the car and drove Nan Qiao home.
...
Lan Qingran drove to the underground parking lot, and before he could reach the elevator, a man approached him.
Something told Lan Qingran that this man was out of the ordinary.
At that moment, the man stood in front of Lan Qingran and said, "Want to cooperate?"
Lan Qingran looked at him with a cold smile: "Cooperate with what? Help you go bankrupt?"
The man was clearly agitated, eyeing Lan Qingran and asked in a low voice: "Don’t you want to take down Li Yehan and win the beauty?"
Lan Qingran scoffed with his arms folded, looking both cool and arrogant: "Who do you think you are to speculate about my thoughts?"
The man was evidently angered by Lan Qingran, pressing down his fury he asked: "Don’t you like Nan Qiao? Don’t doubt it, I regard Li Yehan as an enemy just like you do. I’m here to propose a collaboration to take down Li Yehan. We could find a quiet place to talk this over properly."
"This place is quiet enough," Lan Qingran said.
The man thought Lan Qingran had agreed to cooperate and said, "Don’t worry, if we cooperate with you, we will ensure your safety, and we won’t let Nan Qiao know about what happens."
Lan Qingran asked "How do you plan to take down Li Yehan, what skills do you possess? Don’t assume that just because you can talk, things will happen."
The man said, "Wait for tomorrow, I’ll give you a detailed briefing on our plan, how’s that?"
Lan Qingran nodded: "Fine, wait until you have a concrete plan, then contact me."
Lan Qingran walked away.
The man watched Lan Qingran’s retreating figure, a smug smile on his face.
...
Li Yehan drove Nan Qiao home.
Nan Qiao unbuckled her seatbelt: "You don’t need to escort me, go back and rest."
Li Yehan’s phone lit up and after glancing at the message, he said to Nan Qiao: "Go to bed early."
Nan Qiao hummed in response and got out of the car to walk home.
Li Yehan watched until Nan Qiao entered the house before driving away.
...
Nan Qiao got home to find Bai Jingting waiting for her in the living room, the others weren’t there.
"Big Brother, where are Mom and Dad?"
Bai Jingting said, "They went to a friend’s birthday party."
Nan Qiao sat down and said to Bai Jingting, "Big Brother, I couldn’t extract any useful information from Bai Yurou. I had those little bugs checked, and she has been cursed. There were no reactions before, but since we caught her, the people on the other side killed the mother poisonous insect."
With the mother poisonous insect dead, the Child Poisonous Insects won’t live much longer.
Thus, Bai Yurou won’t survive much longer either.
Bai Jingting understood what Nan Qiao meant and wasn’t surprised by Bai Yurou’s fate.
Since she was working for others, she was just a pawn, and her end was bound to be bleak.
Thinking about Bai Yurou’s fate, Bai Jingting said: "Qiaoqiao, don’t bother with it too much. She committed many wrongs and deserves her punishment."
Nan Qiao then spoke about the man in the portrait’s disguise, and Bai Jingting was not surprised, he had guessed as much.
"Bai Yurou is just a pawn, and those people wouldn’t show their real faces."
Nan Qiao nodded, still wanting to resolve the issue quickly.
While they were talking, Nan Qiao’s phone rang, a call from Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang said: "Bai Yurou is dead."
Nan Qiao wasn’t surprised, but she couldn’t help sighing.
The difference between good and evil is just a thought away.
Nan Qiao hung up the phone and saw Bai Jingting’s expression was also complex.
Bai Jingting said: "In the past, we considered her one of our own, but we never expected her to be a murderer. Good and evil will be repaid, Bai Yurou should pay for her actions."
Nan Qiao: "Big Brother, should we tell Mom and Dad?"
Bai Jingting: "I’ll do it, Qiaoqiao, it’s getting late, you should rest. Aunt Liu mentioned you’ve been leaving early every day. Your work is important but your health is more important."
"Big Brother, I’ll take care of myself, you get some rest too."
"Okay," Bai Jingting said with a smiling face.
Nan Qiao nodded, feeling a bit tired, she exchanged a few words with Bai Jingting, then went to her room to sleep.
...
The next day, Lan Qingran was woken up by a phone call before he could even get out of bed.
The person on the other end said: "Shall we meet?"
Still groggy with sleep, Lan Qingran cursed: "Who the hell is this!"
Man: "..."
The man said: "Lan Qingran, it’s me, didn’t we just meet yesterday? Weren’t we talking about taking down Li Yehan?"
Lan Qingran opened his eyes, saw it was only 6:30 am.
Were they hustling early to deal with Li Yehan?
Lan Qingran put the phone next to his pillow, turned on the speaker, and said to the person on the line: "Talk, how do you want to deal with Li Yehan."
The man said: "You just pour the poison I gave you into the food Li Yehan eats. As for Nan Qiao, don’t worry, we’ll give her a drug to make her forget everything, so you can win the beauty."
Lan Qingran: Heh.
Lan Qingran said disdainfully: "How can you guarantee that Li Yehan will eat the food I buy? Such a simple task, why don’t you bribe someone close to Li Yehan to poison him?"
Man: ??
The man explained: "You just arrived, and you’re Nan Qiao’s good friend. You are the most suitable person to poison him."
"Suitable my ass! If I poison him, won’t I be the prime suspect? You want me to do your dirty work for you? Are you underestimating me? Am I that stupid?"
The man: ??
The man said: "You could come and have a meal in the restaurant; they won’t suspect you."
Lan Qingran sneered: "Then you go and poison him in the restaurant!"
Lan Qingran continued: "I’m embarrassed for you with such stupidity, do you even have the face to propose a collaboration with me? You really think highly of yourself!"
The man, scolded and utterly confused, according to the investigation, wasn’t Lan Qingran in love with Nan Qiao?
Why wouldn’t he agree to a plan that could get him Nan Qiao?
This was supposed to be a win-win scenario. Why didn’t Lan Qingran agree?
Was there a screw loose in his head?
"Are you really not going to cooperate with us?" the man asked anxiously. They needed Lan Qingran to bring Li Yehan there for the plan to work.
Otherwise, who knew where Li Yehan would go for a meal?
The man continued: "Lan Qingran, you will definitely win if you cooperate with us."
"Win your ass! I’m telling you, I will never work with idiots like you! You think of taking down Li Yehan? Better worry about how long your boss will live!"
