Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Spoiled Girl Mania Chapter 24: Chapter 24 Spoiled Girl Mania Nan Qiao stood in the shadows, listening to Bai Yurou’s crying from the living room.
“Mom and Dad, if you announce the news of finding my sister, what will others think of me?
I don’t want to be looked at differently.
I am not your biological daughter after all.
Are you planning to send me away?”
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan planned to hold a welcome ceremony for Nan Qiao and at the same time, tell everyone that they had found their daughter.
While discussing, Bai Yurou came out crying, expressing her inner insecurity and grievances.
Yet, the couple still wanted to give Nan Qiao a welcome party.
Chen Xinwan said, “Yurou, mom understands your feelings, but your sister has also had a tough eighteen years.
Our investigations found that her childhood was not happy; life was harsh.
If the villagers were not kind to her, she might not have survived until the day we found her.”
Bai Zhenyang also spoke, “Qiaoqiao is our daughter, and you have been our child for eighteen years.
We will not favor one over the other.
Yurou, when you get married, we will definitely prepare a generous dowry for you and choose a good match.
Likewise, Qiaoqiao is our daughter too, and we naturally want her identity to be known so that everyone knows she is Bai Zhenyang’s daughter.”
Chen Xinwan gently patted her hand, “Don’t worry, no matter what, you are our daughter; that won’t change.”
Bai Yurou looked up at Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan with teary eyes and finally asked, “Are you really going to announce her identity?”
Bai Yurou’s look was full of helplessness, as if she were the victim.
Although Chen Xinwan was troubled, she did not want her beloved Qiaoqiao to remain someone of unknown identity.
Just as Chen Xinwan was about to speak, Nan Qiao appeared.
She came over and sat on the couch, her pure, sparkling eyes looking up at her parents, “For now, let’s not disclose my identity.
Knowing too many people brings too many troubles.
I’m about to start university and I want to live a peaceful life.”
Her identity being revealed would mean many eyes constantly watching every move she made, life would not be peaceful.
Her vest would also be stripped off again, and she did not want such an event to occur.
Nan Qiao’s words left the three people present stunned.
Especially Bai Yurou, she was delighted!
With Nan Qiao’s identity not disclosed, her status would also remain unknown, allowing her to continue living a life everyone envied.
Bai Yurou’s hanging heart finally settled.
Chen Xinwan went over and sat beside Nan Qiao, “Qiaoqiao, mom will hire a bodyguard for you, to ensure nobody disrupts your life.”
Bai Zhenyang said, “If it comes down to it, dad will send you overseas to study, and you can choose any school you want.”
Having such wealth, their daughter’s happiness was most important.
“I just want to live and study quietly and low-profile, not to be watched by so many eyes.
I heard too much wealth can lead to kidnappings; I’m scared,” Nan Qiao said, her head lowered as if truly frightened.
The couple exchanged looks, today’s incident had left her quite traumatized.
Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao’s small hand, gently patting the back of her hand, “Don’t be scared, Qiaoqiao.
Your dad has already selected a bodyguard, who will protect you twenty-four hours a day.”
Bai Zhenyang assured, “These people are all retired special forces, highly skilled and experienced.”
Nan Qiao’s pure eyes looked up at the two, softly thanked them, appearing as harmless as a little bunny.
The couple felt heartbroken, if Qiaoqiao didn’t want her identity revealed, then they would keep it concealed for now.
“Anything you say, Qiaoqiao, mom will follow,” Bai Yurou could only agree.
Bai Zhenyang concurred, “My girl, since you don’t want it announced, then dad won’t announce your identity for now.
However, I have already called your Grandpa Li, and he will be back this afternoon.”
Chen Xinwan added, “Your grandparents have already settled abroad, and they will also fly back in a few days to see you.
Your three uncles, always busy flying in and out for work, will come to see you whenever they have time.”
Nan Qiao hadn’t expected to have so many relatives.
Bai Yurou watched the close-knit atmosphere among the trio, constantly feeling as if these people were deliberately excluding her, all intentional!
Bai Yurou’s resentment almost showed on her face.
With tears welling up in her eyes, Bai Yurou looked at them and said softly, “Sister, I will definitely join you in honoring our parents in the future.”
Chen Xinwan smiled, “As long as you are healthy and happy, that’s good.”
The warm atmosphere also greatly soothed Nan Qiao’s mood.
Every day spent back here was worth it.
“I plan to visit Grandpa Li’s house later.
I couldn’t make it this morning, so I will take the chance to go this afternoon.”
Nan Qiao shared her plans, but Bai Zhenyang objected, “Darling, you should rest more at home.
Isn’t your leg injured?
Chen Xinwan quickly added, “Qiaoqiao, you should rest more at home.
Grandpa Li has a doctor, there’s no need for you to go.”
Their greatest worry was Nan Qiao going out, fearing another kidnapping incident.
Nan Qiao smiled, “I can’t stay inside forever, right?
You’ve also found me experienced bodyguards, it will be fine this time.”
Persuaded by Nan Qiao, both reluctantly agreed to let her go out.
At this moment, Bai Yurou stepped forward to speak.
“Sister, let me accompany you to Grandpa Li’s house.
I’ve heard your medical skills are superior.
I am also a doctor and would like to learn from you, may I?”
This was a great opportunity for her to make her presence felt at the Li Family.
Bai Yurou’s innocent image was endearing.
Nan Qiao looked at her and made a decision immediately, “I’m just going to Grandpa Li’s house to check on him.
I practice traditional Chinese medicine, and you practice Western medicine; I can’t teach you.”
Bai Zhenyang said, “Yurou, didn’t you take the day off because you were not feeling well?
You better rest properly; health is most important.”
Chen Xinwan added, “Yurou, rest well at home.
You can learn anytime.
Besides, your sister practices traditional Chinese medicine, and you practice Western medicine.
It’s a different field; it’s not easy to learn in a short time.”
Bai Yurou had no choice but to give up, meekly nodding, “Okay.”
The two bodyguards were tall, one of them with a scar on his face.
Seeing Nan Qiao come out, both respectfully greeted, “Good day, Miss.”
Nan Qiao nodded, “Hello.”
She turned and said, “I’ll head out now.”
One bodyguard drove, while the other helped Nan Qiao into the car and then got into the passenger seat.
Watching the car driving away, both were still anxious.
Seeing this, Bai Yurou stepped forward and said, “Mom, Dad, it’s been several days since Sister came back, why hasn’t she started calling you mom and dad, not even any other terms, she seems like a stranger.”
Chen Xinwan, gazing in the direction Nan Qiao had left, spoke somberly, “This child, she’s been through hardships.
She can’t open her heart so quickly, moreover, she doesn’t care about money, naturally, she won’t use a title to deliberately get close to us.”
“Yurou, your mom is right.
Your sister has suffered a lot.
From now on at home, you should take more care of her.”
Were these two really not cursed?
