Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Childhood Regrets, Compensated for When Grown Up Chapter 32: Chapter 32: Childhood Regrets, Compensated for When Grown Up Nan Qiao was very calm and smiled as she asked, “If you want to see him, why don’t you go find him yourself?”
Bai Yurou’s corners of her mouth drooped without any effort to conceal it: “Sister, I’m just kindly concerned about you, why are you speaking with such a sharp tongue?”
“What I said is the truth too.
There’s nothing between Li Yehan and me, so why should I come back with him?
He’s not a member of our family after all!”
Nan Qiao’s words were very straightforward, leaving Bai Yurou completely speechless.
Nan Qiao smiled without a word.
The car stopped, and she took the elevator directly from the garage to the living room.
The Bai Family’s villa was so large that, luckily, there was an elevator, which saved a lot of trouble.
As soon as Nan Qiao arrived in the living room, Mrs.
Fang came out with a tray of uniquely shaped fruits, her face full of smiles.
Yet when she saw Nan Qiao, her smile quickly faded a bit.
She had been expecting Bai Yurou to return and was surprised to see Nan Qiao instead.
Fang’s eyes revealed her disgust as clearly as if she had swallowed a fly.
Nan Qiao gave her a glance: “What’s the matter?
She had never seen someone speak out so bluntly about an awkward situation!
Such a country girl has no manners at all!
Fang, fully aware of her own position and that she couldn’t talk back to Nan Qiao, said humbly, “Miss, you’re exaggerating, why would I be unhappy?
I am very happy to see you back; we all are.”
Nan Qiao looked at the fruit plate in her hand, “Is this fruit prepared for me?”
“Yes, I prepared this fruit especially for you.”
Nan Qiao took it over, her smile deepening: “Since it’s specially prepared for me, I’ll accept it.”
She placed the fruit boat on the table and started eating with a fork.
It was a fruit boat she had spent an hour creating!
It was prepared for Bai Yurou!
Just as Bai Yurou returned, she happened to witness this scene and wanted to vomit blood.
Fang approached Bai Yurou: “Fourth Miss, you’re back.”
Bai Yurou didn’t even want to give Mrs.
Fang a glance and turned to take the elevator upstairs.
She didn’t come down for dinner.
Nan Qiao looked at the table full of delicacies and ate to her heart’s content, very satisfied.
“Qiaoqiao, how did your inspection go today?
I heard from the manager there was a bit of an incident, and Ye Han also went?”
Even if she didn’t say anything, they would naturally find out; it was easy to inquire about what had happened.
Nan Qiao recounted what had occurred, leaving Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan fuming with rage.
Bai Zhenyang angrily said, “Lu Zhengyang actually dared to bully my daughter.
I’m going to call his father right now!”
He picked up his cell phone and stepped aside to make the call, afraid that Nan Qiao would see him cursing and that it might affect his image in his precious daughter’s heart.
Chen Xinwan looked at her daughter with deep affection, her heart aching: “Baby, tell your mother first thing if anything happens.
And about Old Qin and Old Dao, they are your bodyguards; why didn’t they protect you right away when trouble arose?”
Chen Xinwan was somewhat angry.
Had she spent so much money on bodyguards just for them to stand around like spectators?
Nan Qiao quickly explained, as it had all been her idea.
“I was afraid they would scare away the customers, I wanted to keep a low profile and didn’t let them come in.
Who knew I’d run into Lu Zhengyang and Zhou Jingya.
But rest assured, I can take care of myself and won’t get hurt.”
Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao’s hand, her words heartfelt and solemn: “My daughter, remember this, no matter what the situation or object, nothing is more important than you.
Money can be sacrificed, but my daughter must remain safe and sound.”
Nan Qiao’s heart was deeply moved, and she took the initiative to call out, “Mom, thank you.”
Chen Xinwan’s eyes lit up with joy(#^.^#)
Ah, her daughter called her Mom!
Chen Xinwan was so happy that she wished she could tell everyone right then.
Her daughter’s first call was “Mom” instead of “Dad”!
Hahaha, it seemed her position in her daughter’s heart was the highest.
Chen Xinwan excitedly held Nan Qiao’s hand, then, fearing she had gripped too hard and hurt Nan Qiao, she let go,
worried about a misunderstanding, “Sweetheart, did Mom hurt you when she held your hand?”
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but find it both funny and embarrassing, she had only called out “Mom,” why was Chen Xinwan so excited about it?
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but recall a memory from her childhood when she staggeringly went to call Liu Yanfang “Mom,” only to be pushed to the ground.
To this day, she still remembered the words Liu Yanfang said: “Don’t call me Mom, I don’t have a daughter like you, you’re just a little bastard!”
Nan Qiao’s nose tingled with soreness, and as she looked at Chen Xinwan, warm tears filled her eyes.
The regrets of childhood were being made up for as she grew up.
The once tender little girl nearly became a crybaby.
Chen Xinwan, startled, awkwardly wiped away Nan Qiao’s tears, “Sweetie, why are you crying?
Did Mom say something wrong?
It’s okay, if you don’t want to call me Mom, you don’t have to, Auntie is fine too.
As long as you’re happy, however, you want to call me is okay.”
Bai Zhenyang hurried over and saw Nan Qiao’s tears falling like pearls, one by one, which nearly broke the old father’s heart.
“Daughter, what’s wrong?
Don’t worry, Dad will go tie up Lu Zhengyang and Zhou Jingya and make them kneel to apologize to you right now!”
Daughter sad, Dad gets mad!
Nan Qiao laughed out loud.
Unlike the helplessness and sorrow of her childhood, she now felt happiness and contentment.
Wiping her tears, Nan Qiao said with a smile, “Mom and Dad, I’m fine; it’s just that I feel too happy and fortunate.”
Bai Zhenyang incredulously took Chen Xinwan’s hand, “Wife, pinch me and see.
Did our daughter call me Dad?
Did I hear that wrong?”
Chen Xinwan pinched his thigh, and Bai Zhenyang yelped in pain.
Chen Xinwan said with a laugh, “Are you silly?
She’s our daughter, of course, she would call you Dad and me Mom.
But Old Bai, just now our daughter called me Mom first, you’re a step behind.”
Bai Zhenyang said cheerfully, “You’ve worked the hardest; she should call you first.”
The difficulties of a ten-month pregnancy are hardest on a woman.
Chen Xinwan looked shyly at him; they always had a good relationship.
Nan Qiao told Bai Zhenyang, “You don’t need to deal with Lu Zhengyang and Zhou Jingya.
Bai Zhenyang shook his head repeatedly, “How can I let my daughter handle these things?
With me here, you just need to be the joyful young mistress of the Bai Family.”
Nan Qiao said with a broad smile, “Listen to me; I’m already on it.”
Chen Xinwan patted Bai Zhenyang’s hand, “Qiaoqiao said she’d handle it; why must you insist on doing the opposite?
If you keep this up, I won’t let Qiaoqiao call you Dad.”
Bai Zhenyang quickly said, “Daughter, then I won’t interfere.
It’s all yours, you handle it, and if you can’t, then let me know.”
Nan Qiao smiled brightly and nodded vigorously, the family of three was happy and complete.
At that moment, Bai Yurou, standing in a dark corner upstairs, also heard about this.
She hid in the bathroom and sent Zhou Jingya a message with a spare phone: Nan Qiao is going after you!
She said she’s already dealing with it!
When Zhou Jingya received the message, she sneered, “If she could handle me, could she have waited until now?”
Little did Zhou Jingya know that she would not be laughing the next day.
