Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Even if she stands naked in front of me, I will not be moved Chapter 29: Chapter 29 Even if she stands naked in front of me, I will not be moved “If there’s nothing important, this phone only receives messages, doesn’t receive calls.”
Bai Yurou, in a panic, grabbed her phone and ran to the bathroom, turned on the faucet, and tried to drown out her conversation with the person on the other end with the sound of the water.
Bai Yurou held her phone without making a sound, waiting cautiously for the voice from the other end.
A mechanical voice came through, “Why did the plan fail again!”
The harsh, menacing, and frustrated tone made Bai Yurou’s body uncontrollably tremble.
“Because of Li Yehan, he…
he’s different towards Nan Qiao.
This time, it was Li Yehan who rescued her from the kidnapping.
Otherwise, how could a defenseless woman escape, she would have been scared to death.”
“I don’t want to hear your excuses!”
Bai Yurou’s eyes filled with fear, and she gently coaxed, “I’m sorry, don’t be angry.”
“I will inform you of the next plan, if you can’t complete it, I will replace you.”
“Please, don’t do this.”
The phone went silent, the call was disconnected, and Bai Yurou sat on the floor, the water from the sink overflowing and sliding to her feet.
The icy water brought Bai Yurou back to her senses, she quickly turned off the tap, and gathered her thoughts.
The woman in the mirror, her hair slightly disheveled, her eyes fierce, her complexion pale.
Bai Yurou looked at herself in the mirror and viciously said, “I will take back everything that belongs to me!”
Early in the morning, Nan Qiao received an important task.
She was to visit her properties.
Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang had given her quite a few properties, both shops and companies.
Chen Xinwan wanted to accompany Nan Qiao on the inspection to let these people know who their new boss was, but Nan Qiao refused.
“I’d rather go alone, they don’t know me, it will be easier for me to inspect.”
Nan Qiao still preferred working alone, more able to pinpoint deficiencies.
Chen Xinwan had no choice but to agree, whatever her daughter wanted.
“Qiaoqiao, contact me immediately if there’s any problem.”
Nan Qiao smiled and nodded, “Will do.”
These properties, Nan Qiao really hadn’t planned to keep.
Unable to refuse them initially, she had to temporarily take care of them until she decided what to do in the future.
Once the properties were in her hands, she would manage them diligently.
The car drove along and stopped in front of a shopping mall.
The driver opened the door; Nan Qiao stepped out and walked toward the mall.
Lu Zhengyang and Zhou Jingya arrived at the mall to pick out jewelry.
Lu Zhengyang, after being scolded upon his return, was even more eager to solidify his relationship with Zhou Jingya to strengthen his position in the Lu Family.
“Xiao Ya, look, whichever you like, I’ll buy for you, pick any.”
Lu Zhengyang said this, but internally he was reluctant to let Zhou Jingya choose something too expensive.
His money had to be spent carefully, especially since he didn’t have much.
Zhou Jingya browsed for a while then her finger landed on a jade bracelet worth half a million, “Brother Zhengyang, I one.”
A gentle affection rose in Lu Zhengyang’s eyes; he really liked her choice.
Internally approving, his face showed a different expression, “Xiao Ya, look again, this one is too cheap.”
“Brother Zhengyang, I am happy that you are giving me a gift.
It’s the thought that counts, and your thoughtfulness is what matters the most.”
Zhou Jingya lowered her head, shy and gentle.
Lu Zhengyang smiled lightly, “Okay, since Xiao Ya likes it, then we’ll buy this one.”
Zhou Jingya slowly lifted her head and saw Nan Qiao walking towards them.
Zhou Jingya was somewhat angry.
Nan Qiao had already gone back, so why was she still coming here to ruin her love?
Zhou Jingya clung to Lu Zhengyang’s arm and said in a grievance-filled whisper, “Brother Zhengyang, my sister is here again.
Does she want to be with you and deliberately sabotaging us?”
Lu Zhengyang looked toward Nan Qiao as she approached, seemingly coming straight for him.
Lu Zhengyang raised his head, his expression proud and unrestrained.
“Xiao Ya, I don’t like her.
Even if she throws herself at me, I would never agree to be with her.
Even if she stood naked in front of me, I wouldn’t be moved.”
Zhou Jingya whispered, “Ah, why can’t my sister just leave me alone?
Is she jealous that I found such a handsome and capable man, envious and resentful?”
Lu Zhengyang affectionately ruffled her hair.
“Fool, I’m not running a scrapyard, collecting every piece of trash.”
While they were talking, Nan Qiao was aimlessly wandering nearby.
Her strolling lacked any purpose or care.
Today, Nan Qiao was wearing a white T-shirt paired with washed blue jeans, white shoes on her feet, and her hair casually clipped back, looking stylishly tousled and framing her face beautifully.
The girl pursed her red lips, glancing left and right, her big watery eyes shining like brilliant stars.
As Nan Qiao walked, someone blocked her path.
Nan Qiao changed direction, but the person still obstructed her.
Nan Qiao slowly lifted her head, her eyes calm as water.
“A good dog doesn’t block the way.”
Lu Zhengyang, “Are you calling me a dog?”
Nan Qiao gave a cold smile.
“If you are not a dog, why block the path?”
Lu Zhengyang’s anger flared up, and Zhou Jingya approached, looking like a wronged little wife.
“Sister, why are you always following us?”
Nan Qiao looked incredulous.
Did Zhou Jingya have paranoid delusions?
“Is the mall owned by your family?
Is this jewelry store yours?
Or is this road your property?”
Lu Zhengyang & Zhou Jingya: …
Lu Zhengyang, “If we’re not following, why are you here?
Is this jewelry store yours?”
Nan Qiao’s laugh gave Lu Zhengyang the illusion that this was the truth.
Zhou Jingya, her eyes filled with mockery, said, “Nan Qiao, what exactly do you want?
Are you also here to buy jewelry?”
Seeing Nan Qiao always infuriated Zhou Jingya.
If only she had agreed to attend to Mr.
Ma, would the Zhou Family’s company still be in jeopardy?
If it hadn’t been for her submitting the designs, the company would have gone bankrupt long ago!
It was all Nan Qiao’s fault.
If she hadn’t been so narrow-minded and unhelpful, their company would have recovered a long time ago!
Right now, Zhou Jingya looked at Nan Qiao with eyes full of haughty arrogance.
After all, Nan Qiao was just a poor woman.
Lu Zhengyang looked at Nan Qiao with mocking eyes.
This woman was merely a vase, he didn’t like women who threw themselves at him.
“She probably can’t even afford the jewelry here,” Lu Zhengyang appraised Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao’s clothes bore no visible brand, not looking like designer outfits.
In fact, these clothes had been tailor-made for Nan Qiao by a designer hired by Chen Xinwan, and they were the only pieces of their kind in the world.
Nan Qiao sat down and said to a nearby clerk, “Call your manager over.”
The clerk sized up Nan Qiao, “Who are you?”
Seeming like she couldn’t afford the jewelry here, why the arrogance?
Zhou Jingya stepped forward, “Nan Qiao, you should just go back.
Staying here will only bring you humiliation, won’t it?”
Sitting on the chair, Nan Qiao had a radiant face and her eyes slightly upturned, giving her a look of pure desire.
She faced the woman in front of her and said again, “I’ll say it one more time, call the manager over!”
Nan Qiao’s aura suddenly shifted, causing the clerk to tremble subconsciously and she rushed to find the manager.
Lu Zhengyang and Zhou Jingya smirked, curious to see what tricks Nan Qiao would pull.
