Nan Qiao sat up, took her cell phone, and walked down: "You lie down for a while, I’m going to take a call."
Nan Qiao went to the windowsill outside to answer the phone: "What’s the matter?"
The person on the other end excitedly said: "Boss, someone is offering one billion yuan for you to kill yourself."
"I checked, it’s Jiang Linyu."
Nan Qiao sneered coldly: "She sure is rich."
"Boss, we definitely can’t take this job. I’ll send someone to teach Jiang Linyu a lesson soon, to show her some color."
"Take it, tell Jiang Linyu that your side guarantees the completion of the mission, and ask her to transfer the deposit."
Guaranteeing the completion of the mission is not the same as actually completing it.
As for that deposit, wouldn’t it just end up being hers?
Nan Qiao then said, "Tell Jiang Linyu that the assassination is a tough job; ask for a bit more deposit."
Hearing Nan Qiao’s words, the person on the other end of the phone was extremely excited, this was a great thing!
"Boss, you really know how to play the game!"
Nan Qiao hung up the phone and walked back into the room.
As soon as Nan Qiao sat down, she was embraced by Li Yehan on her lap.
"Qiaoqiao, who was calling you? I see you looking a bit off; you can’t lie to me," Li Yehan said seriously.
"Jiang Linyu offered one billion yuan for a hitman to kill me."
"Jiang Linyu really deserves to die, she has some nerve. One billion yuan for your life? Has she got water in her brain?" Li Yehan was furious.
Li Yehan took out his cell phone: "I’m going to find a hitman too. I’ll pay two billion yuan for Jiang Linyu’s life; it’s expensive, but I want her dead."
Nan Qiao snatched Li Yehan’s mobile phone away, laughed and cried at the same time saying, "You don’t need to worry about this, I... my master knows this hitman, and he has already taken care of it for me."
"Your master has quite the wild ways, which master is it?" asked Li Yehan.
Nan Qiao cheerfully said: "You don’t need to know about that. My master doesn’t want others to know his identity, and he doesn’t like to meet strangers either."
Li Yehan responded with an "oh," drawing out the last sound for a long time.
"What’s the matter, you don’t believe what I said?"
Li Yehan laughed and said, "I believe, why wouldn’t I believe what Qiaoqiao says."
Still, Nan Qiao felt that Li Yehan didn’t believe what she’d just told him.
"Li Yehan, you should go back. You’re not fully healed and climbing up and down, do you have no regard for your life?"
Li Yehan held Nan Qiao: "I only care about having Qiaoqiao, life doesn’t matter to me."
Li Yehan really has a way with words!
"Stop flirting with me, hurry back. I need to rest too, I have to go to school tomorrow."
Nan Qiao was really tired, and Li Yehan lay motionless on the bed.
"I’ll go back after you fall asleep."
Nan Qiao simply lay in bed ignoring him; Li Yehan no longer had a use for his strength, did he only think about climbing up and down every day?
Before long, Nan Qiao fell asleep.
Li Yehan listened to her steady breathing and slowly pulled out his arm.
Li Yehan took out his phone and began to craft a message, sending it to Old Liu.
Old Liu received the message and quickly handled the matter.
When Nan Qiao woke up, Li Yehan had already left.
After washing up and eating, Nan Qiao went to school.
She had intended to take a day off, but Huo Siyu was unwilling to go out and adamantly refused, so Nan Qiao had no choice but to come to school.
Entering the university, Nan Qiao saw Li Xia, which surprised her. Why was Li Xia here?
Li Xia walked towards Nan Qiao, wearing a white dress, her hair straight and smooth, exuding elegance in every move.
"Nan Qiao, what a coincidence, I didn’t expect to see you at Qing University."
Nan Qiao smiled and said, "I should be the one saying that. I didn’t expect you to be at Qing University either."
"Nan Qiao, I am also a student at Qing University, a sophomore, your senior."
"Indeed a coincidence." Nan Qiao smiled wryly.
Li Xia then asked, "I heard you’re studying medicine? We have a medical society, would you like to join? You’re not familiar with Qing University, we could help you out."
"Thanks, but no, I don’t plan to join any clubs. I have something to do, I’ll be going now." Nan Qiao continued walking forward.
Li Xia turned around, watching Nan Qiao leave, her eyes filled with a provocative look.
At that moment, two girls ran over, standing on either side of Li Xia.
"Xiaxia, long time no see, you’ve become even more beautiful."
The other girl, not to be outdone, praised, "Xiaxia is naturally beautiful, and even your figure has improved."
"Xiaxia, is that girl your relative by any chance?"
After all, Nan Qiao also carried a distinguished aura, standing beside Li Xia, she was not outshone in grace.
Li Xia curled her lips into a smile, "She’s not my relative. The fact she was able to enroll in Qing University and afford the tuition fees is quite an achievement. I was just saying a few words to her to encourage her."
"Xiaxia, you’re just too kind. You wouldn’t be sponsoring her education, would you?"
"Xiaxia truly has a big heart."
Li Xia smiled without a word, neither confirming nor denying, allowing others to say what they would without objecting.
And so, a misunderstanding arose.
Nan Qiao hadn’t reached the classroom when she received a call from Zheng Qinnian.
"Qiaoqiao, do you have time right now, could you come to the hospital? Siyu is here with me."
Nan Qiao paused, then called the advisor to ask for leave again.
After getting leave, Nan Qiao arrived at the hospital and went straight to Zheng Qinnian’s office.
Huo Siyu was sitting on the sofa, her head down, her black hair not enough to cover her face, making it hard to read her expression.
Nan Qiao slowly walked over, sat down gently, and tried to remain composed.
"Siyu, whatever it is, you can talk to us. Even if you can’t remember, we truly are very good friends, like family."
Huo Siyu slowly lifted her head, the sorrow in her brows and eyes making Nan Qiao’s heart ache.
Huo Siyu threw herself into Nan Qiao’s arms, her crying ringing out.
Nan Qiao thought of the message Zheng Qinnian had sent her; Huo Siyu was pregnant.
Huo Siyu had come to the hospital to inquire about an abortion procedure, and Zheng Qinnian discovered it.
Huo Siyu had forgotten that Zheng Qinnian worked at this hospital and was therefore found out.
Zheng Qinnian had Huo Siyu sit in his office for a while, then asked Nan Qiao to come over.
Zheng Qinnian knew that it was better for Nan Qiao to talk to Huo Siyu about these matters; as a man, it was better for him to step out.
"Qiaoqiao, you stay with Siyu, I’ll go and buy something for you to drink." Zheng Qinnian left the office.
Nan Qiao held Huo Siyu’s hand and said softly, "Siyu, don’t think too much, there’s no hurdle that can’t be crossed. No matter what happens, we will be with you."
Huo Siyu’s eyes were red, "Qiaoqiao, I’m pregnant, I don’t know what to do."
Her feigned strength vanished at that moment; she could no longer hold it together.
"Siyu, don’t cry first. What are you going to do? Do you want to keep the baby or not? If you want the child, we will help you raise it. This is your child, it doesn’t concern anyone else!"
