From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 84 Mysterious Message
Chapter 84: Chapter 84 Mysterious Message
Bai Yurou’s smile was thick as she looked at Nan Qiao, "Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"
Nan Qiao curved her red lips, her voice calm, "You’ve dressed up so beautifully. Isn’t it meant to be seen?"
Bai Yurou instantly understood that Nan Qiao had deliberately said this for him to hear!
Bai Yurou sat opposite Nan Qiao, as always gentle and polite.
"Sister, why didn’t you let Brother Han stay a little longer?"
"It’s late. If he doesn’t go home, should he spend the night here?" Nan Qiao retorted.
Bai Yurou was momentarily stunned, her face still wearing a serene smile.
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan walked in, their faces darkening upon seeing Bai Yurou.
They hesitated as if there was something they wanted to say but couldn’t.
Bai Yurou’s heart leapt with joy. Could it be that Li Yehan had said something bad about Nan Qiao?
That’s right, Nan Qiao came from a modest background and was not favored, what virtues could she have that would make Li Yehan like her for so long?
It must be that Li Yehan was tired of playing with Nan Qiao, had scorned her, and said many unpleasant things to Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan!
It must be so!
Bai Yurou’s mood became even more pleasant.
She stood up and walked over, speaking in a soft and gentle voice, "Dad, Mom, you both look unwell. Did Brother Han say something?"
Bai Zhenyang looked at Bai Yurou, his eyes complicated.
Nan Qiao ate her grilled cold noodles, took another sip of chilled drink, and in the hot summer, it felt ridiculously refreshing.
Nan Qiao leaned back in her chair, quietly watching Bai Yurou’s performance.
Chen Xinwan spoke with difficulty, "It’s nothing."
Bai Yurou grew more excited. If Chen Xinwan said it was nothing, then there must be something!
For instance... did Li Yehan’s evaluation of Nan Qiao not sound good?
Thinking this, Bai Yurou’s mood improved further as she continued, "Mom, you should speak up about any issues promptly, so they can be properly resolved."
Bai Zhenyang, "Let’s just leave it, better not to talk about it."
Bai Yurou persisted in questioning, "Dad, why won’t you talk about it? If we talk it out with everyone here, we can handle it better."
Chen Xinwan spoke with difficulty, "Talk about it here?"
Bai Yurou nodded firmly, "Yes, right here."
Chen Xinwan reluctantly began, "Yurou, Brother Han just told me your dress doesn’t suit the occasion and could negatively influence Qiaoqiao. Be mindful of that in the future."
Bai Yurou, "???"
Her face turned pale as she struggled to ask, "He talked about me?"
Bai Zhenyang, "I told him you didn’t know he was coming. But Ye Han said, after seeing him, you didn’t go back to your room to change. Such behavior is still inappropriate."
Chen Xinwan, "Yurou, I know you’ve been abroad and might not think this is a big deal. But now that you’re back in China, you’re Chinese. Be more aware in the future, okay?"
Nan Qiao stood up and walked slowly to Bai Yurou’s side.
"Yurou, be more considerate in the future."
Bai Yurou looked at Nan Qiao in a daze, her brain going blank, cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
...
Bai Yurou didn’t even know how she returned to her room, her mind a complete blank.
Mrs. Fang followed closely behind and entered Bai Yurou’s room.
"Fourth Miss, don’t be angry. The Master and Madam love you so much, they surely won’t blame you. After tomorrow, you will still be their precious daughter."
Bai Yurou lifted her head, her eyes brimming with hatred, unwillingness, and murderous intent, which intertwined and converged into a sobbing cry.
Mrs. Fang saw her crying so fiercely and continued to comfort her, "Fourth Miss, after all, you have the best and most stable relationship with the master and madam."
Bai Yurou asked with tearful eyes, "Really?"
"Of course, it’s true. You’ve been in the Bai family for eighteen years. Can she compare with that? I also said, ’Familiarity breeds fondness.’ Eighteen years, how many times have you met? Don’t you think so?"
Bai Yurou was successfully comforted and her emotions gradually calmed down.
After comforting her, Mrs. Fang returned to her own room.
She took out her cell phone and sent out a message: "Bai Yurou’s situation over here is not optimistic, Li Yehan doesn’t even glance at her."
After sending the message, she went about her business as if nothing had happened and went to sleep.
...
Nan Qiao finished her bath and came out when there was a knock on the door.
Opening the door, Chen Xinwan walked in from outside.
"Qiaoqiao, Mom thought you hadn’t slept yet and wanted to come to see you."
Her affectionate gaze made it impossible to refuse her actions. Moreover, Nan Qiao also wanted to talk more with Chen Xinwan.
There were some things that she wanted to ask Chen Xinwan about.
The mother and daughter sat down, and Chen Xinwan said to Nan Qiao, "Qiaoqiao, how are you getting along with Ye Han? I can tell that he really likes you. As long as he treats you well and as long as you like him, we can accept his status."
Nan Qiao shyly lowered her head, "We’re just friends."
Chen Xinwan teased with a smile, "What kind of friends?"
Nan Qiao, embarrassed, did not speak, and Chen Xinwan continued, "Since you’ve been home these days, is there anything you’d like to change about the house? If you have any requests, just mention them. Mom isn’t afraid of you making requests; I’m afraid of you not speaking up."
"Everything’s fine."
Chen Xinwan looked at Nan Qiao with a smile and stretched out her hand to hold hers, "Qiaoqiao, do whatever you want to do. You’ll be filling out your college preferences in a couple of days. Which school are you planning to apply to?"
Chen Xinwan had also come today to find out if Nan Qiao would stay in Jing City or plan to attend a school in another region.
Naturally, Chen Xinwan hoped Nan Qiao would stay locally. She had just found her daughter, and how could she bear to let her leave home?
Nan Qiao suddenly understood what Chen Xinwan’s cautious look meant.
She looked up, met Chen Xinwan’s eyes, and said with a smile, "I don’t plan to leave Jing City. I will apply to schools in Jing City."
Chen Xinwan’s eyes suddenly brightened, filled with joy.
"Really? Qiaoqiao, are you really planning to stay in Jing City for college?"
Nan Qiao nodded, and Chen Xinwan was so excited she almost shed tears.
Looking at her like this, Nan Qiao was quite moved.
The maternal love that Chen Xinwan had given her in just a few days was more than she had received in eighteen years with the Zhou family.
Nan Qiao gave Chen Xinwan a hug, and Chen Xinwan held her tightly in return.
"Qiaoqiao, it’s so good you’re staying at home. Mom will love you twice as much. Although it can’t make up for the eighteen years we missed, I want to be with you for the next eighteen years, and the eighteen years after that..."
Nan Qiao’s eyes became moist, and she tried hard to control her emotions.
Chen Xinwan happily said, "I’m going to tell your dad this good news right now. He’s always wanted to ask you but didn’t dare. He will surely be excited to hear this."
Not until Chen Xinwan excitedly went back to tell Bai Zhenyang the good news did Nan Qiao’s heart settle down.
Nan Qiao knew she was a child loved by her parents.
As Nan Qiao was about to blow-dry her hair, her cell phone rang.
She picked up the phone, opened it, and was a bit surprised by the message inside.
Why would this person come looking for her?
