From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 296: Don’t Ruin Our Plan

Li Yehan’s smile grew even more intense with Nan Qiao’s concern, "Qiaoqiao is so concerned about me, I’ll definitely be even more careful with my safety."

Nan Qiao looked over, and the two shared a smile.

The car continued until it reached the underground garage of the Bai Mansion, where many cars were neatly parked.

With many people in the family, there were also many cars.

As soon as Nan Qiao got out of the car, she noticed an additional RV in the underground garage.

Nan Qiao said to Li Yehan, "You should go back now, and go check on Grandpa Li."

Today’s events would definitely affect the old man’s mood.

Having such an irresponsible son was really unavoidable.

Li Yehan nodded, "Qiaoqiao, see you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

Nan Qiao waved her hand and walked into the elevator, while Li Yehan drove away.

...

Nan Qiao arrived on the first floor and stepped out of the elevator, only to hear Chen Xinwan’s gentle voice.

"Will our Qiaoqiao treasure like this gift?"

Bai Zhenyang comforted her, "No one knows their daughter better than her mother. She’s bound to like the gift you have picked out. If she doesn’t, we can buy her another one. As long as it’s a gift Qiaoqiao chooses, I’ll pay for it."

Nan Qiao came over and sat on the sofa opposite her parents with a smile on her face.

"Mom and Dad, you bought me another gift? You really don’t have to buy me anything more, I have everything I need."

Chen Xinwan sat next to Nan Qiao, gazing at her beloved daughter with eyes full of affection.

The two of them sitting together resembled a pair of sister flowers.

Chen Xinwan said, "The other day you mentioned you liked traveling, so I bought you an RV that’s parked in the underground garage. Just before school starts, Qiaoqiao treasure, we can go traveling together."

Bai Zhenyang, "Xinwan, aren’t you bringing me along?"

Chen Xinwan replied, "Not bringing you along. You’re so busy every day. It’s enough for me to go traveling with Qiaoqiao treasure."

Bai Zhenyang was utterly disappointed. The RV was chosen by Chen Xinwan but paid for by him, and yet he was left out of the travel plans?

"I’ll come with you, I can be the driver. You, mother and daughter, can enjoy yourselves and I can take pictures for you. How nice would that be?"

As Bai Zhenyang was speaking, Bai Jingting returned.

"Mom, Dad, little sister, where are you planning to go for fun?"

Bai Zhenyang said, "We bought Qiaoqiao an RV, but your mother wants to go traveling with Qiaoqiao and not take me along."

Bai Zhenyang felt helpless.

Nan Qiao said, "Dad, I’m not going traveling for the moment. I haven’t finished dealing with company matters yet. With school starting soon, I won’t have as much energy to focus on the company. I need to pick a suitable manager to help run the company. Not only that, but I also have to take care of some custom work."

Traveling was out of the question.

Upon hearing Nan Qiao’s schedule, all three showed concerned expressions.

Chen Xinwan said, "Qiaoqiao darling, you mustn’t overwork yourself. You’re still so young, and our family is wealthy; you don’t need to work for money. We can support you and ensure you live a carefree life."

Chen Xinwan also gave her heartfelt advice, "Qiaoqiao, your father and I are worried you’re overworking yourself. We might be nagging a bit. You’re still so young, you should enjoy life."

"Mom and Dad, I’m not angry. I know you want what’s best for me. It’s just that I’m used to this level of work intensity, and it doesn’t tire me. I wouldn’t know what to do with myself if I didn’t work."

Bai Jingting said, "Qiaoqiao, it’s fine to work, but just slightly reduce your workload and give yourself some ease. Our family has never gone on a trip together. Why don’t we take advantage of the time before you start school and go out together?"

Bai Jingting’s suggestion received agreement from Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang.

Chen Xinwan said, "Jingting is right; we should all go out together."

Bai Zhenyang: "I hear that Yu Long Bay has some pretty nice scenery, not too far either. We could all go check it out together."

Everyone was so excited, and Nan Qiao knew she couldn’t be the one to dampen everyone’s spirits, so she nodded: "Then let’s all go take a look together."

When Nan Qiao agreed, everyone was delighted.

Bai Zhenyang said happily, "I’ll take care of arranging the trip. You guys just focus on having fun, don’t worry about anything else."

Chen Xinwan: "That’s great, I’m going to take lots of pictures with my Qiaoqiao."

Seeing everyone happy, Nan Qiao was happy too.

...

Li Ye returned home, and Jiang Linyu gave him a meaningful glance. The two of them sat in the garden to talk.

The weather wasn’t very hot at night, and Jiang Linyu’s heart felt even colder.

"How is it? Did Grandpa say anything?"

Li Ye: "The painting is a fake. Grandpa is angry."

"What!" Jiang Linyu was horrified.

Li Ye recounted the evening’s events to Jiang Linyu, who, after hearing everything, was nearly dumbstruck.

"How could such a thing happen? It must be Li Yehan’s doing!" Jiang Linyu said angrily.

Li Ye asked, "Does Li Yehan understand art? How could he tell at glance that the painting wasn’t by Master Shan Shui?"

"According to our investigations, Li Yehan doesn’t like paintings and hasn’t been seen dealing with them," replied Jiang Linyu truthfully.

Li Ye stood up, his handsome face looking particularly austere under the streetlights.

"If Li Yehan has never dealt with paintings, how would he know the one I bought is a fake?" Li Ye was utterly baffled.

Could someone who identified the forgery so quickly be Master Shan Shui himself?

Li Ye said: "Nan Qiao couldn’t be Shan Shui, could she?"

Without thinking, Jiang Linyu immediately replied: "How could that be possible, how could Nan Qiao be Shan Shui? Does she know anything about art?"

Li Ye continued: "Then there must be an error in our investigations. Li Yehan must understand art."

"I’ve also heard from your dad that Li Yehan indeed doesn’t like paintings. I think this whole affair is a trap Li Yehan set, waiting for you to fall in."

Li Ye added: "The only one by Li Yehan’s side at that time was Nan Qiao. Aside from Li Yehan, Nan Qiao is the only one who could have realized immediately that the painting was fake."

Jiang Linyu frowned deeply, still convinced that Nan Qiao couldn’t possibly be Master Shan Shui.

"Xiao Ye, you’re overthinking it; Nan Qiao can’t be Shan Shui. She’s just the true daughter that the Bai Family found. What kind of ability could she have? Go to sleep early, and don’t think too much."

Li Ye hmmed and walked back.

He entered his room and saw Li Xia sitting inside, waiting for him to return.

Li Xia stood up: "Xiao Ye, what are you doing back?"

Li Ye took off his coat, revealing a black short sleeve underneath. His exposed arms looked powerful.

Li Ye opened the fridge, took out a Coke, opened it, and took a drink, with casual nonchalance.

He smiled at a nervous Li Xia: "What? Afraid I killed the man you love?"

"You’re talking nonsense!" Li Xia shouted angrily.

"Do you think you can hide your crush on Li Yehan from our parents but keep it from me? You came back so fast; isn’t it because Nan Qiao is now by Li Yehan’s side?"

Li Xia walked over, sat on the sofa, her eyes revealing a ferocious look: "Li Ye, don’t do anything beyond your ability."

"Me? Beyond my ability? Li Xia, we’re grasshoppers on the same rope. You’re talking to me about ability? If you were capable, would you be sitting here talking to me? Let me tell you, don’t ruin our plan!"

Seeing that it was impossible to communicate with Li Ye, Li Xia simply ignored him and got up to leave.
