Li Yehan understood the situation and grasped Bai Jingyan’s intention.
"Then I’ll head back first and check on things. Uncle and auntie, I’ll treat you to a meal next time."
Bai Zhenyang smiled and said, "Ye Han, work is important, but you also need to take care of your health."
Chen Xinwan said, "Ye Han, if you have time tonight, come over to our house for dinner."
"Alright, I’ll be going then."
After saying goodbye, Li Yehan left.
Nan Qiao went with her parents and Bai Jingyan to have dinner at a restaurant.
In the private dining room there were just the four of them; Bai Jingyan had told his teammates to celebrate later in the evening, asking everyone to go back and rest well first, and meet up later at night.
In the spacious private room, Bai Jingyan felt very awkward.
"Dad, mom, sister, I really had a lot of confidence this time. I didn’t expect Yuan Qiao Technology Company to be so powerful, suppressing me time and time again," Bai Jingyan was utterly drained.
Nan Qiao comforted him, "Second brother, maybe you’ll win next time."
"Sis, you don’t know, Ke Muran’s company has a very impressive technician. This person moves without trace, and the people at Yuan Qiao Technology Company are very tight-lipped, never revealing this person’s identity to the public."
"Second brother, how do you know this?"
"I heard it from someone inside Yuan Qiao Company as well, otherwise, if Ke Muran were to go head to head with me, he might not be able to win against me."
Nan Qiao suddenly realized, so that was it.
Who was it that leaked her identity?
Nan Qiao took out her phone and started sending a message to Ke Muran with her head down.
Chen Xinwan said, "Jing Yan, victory and defeat are common occurrences in the military, there always has to be a first and a second place, don’t think too much about it."
"Mom, to be honest, I’m used to it. After going back, I have to continue to work hard and strive to win against Yuan Qiao Company next time."
Chen Xinwan said, "Son, mom believes in you."
Bai Jingyan raised his glass, "Dad, mom, sister, I’d like to toast to you all, thank you for coming to watch my competition, it has been a hard journey."
Nan Qiao hurriedly raised her head and lifted the glass in front of her.
"Second brother, go for it."
Bai Jingyan smiled knowingly and clinked glasses with Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao said, "Dad, mom, second brother, I have to go to school for classes this afternoon. I took leave yesterday and this morning, so I must go there in the afternoon. I’ll leave on my own after lunch."
Bai Zhenyang, Bai Jingyan, and Chen Xinwan all understood and let Nan Qiao go after the meal.
As Nan Qiao ate, she was considering whether or not to disclose her identity.
She hadn’t spoken up before because she didn’t want to affect Bai Jingyan’s competition.
Now, it still didn’t seem quite the right time.
Bai Jingyan had just secured second place, and for her to say that her team was in first place would make things even more awkward.
After much deliberation, Nan Qiao decided to wait a bit longer before disclosing it.
While the family was eating, Chen Xinwan’s phone rang. It was a call from Chen Hesong.
"Xinwan, where are you? Mom’s sick and at Ren Min Hospital. You should come over quickly, the doctor says her condition is quite serious. She was shocked after someone told her Yu Rou died. The old lady couldn’t take it and fainted."
"What! Who told her about Yu Rou’s death? I’m coming right now!"
Chen Xinwan was furious, she had kept silent for fear that the old lady wouldn’t be able to take it.
Who the hell said it!
Unable to eat anymore, the family of four hurriedly set off for the hospital.
On the car ride, Chen Xinwan mentioned the situation.
Nan Qiao sent a message to Zheng Qinnian, asking him to deliver the medical kit to Ren Min Hospital, as it would be needed shortly.
Chen Xinwan spoke angrily: "I don’t know who spilled the beans, I was planning to let my mom take the medicine Qiaoqiao gave, wait for a while, and then tell her everything. With Qiaoqiao’s medicine, my mom’s condition wouldn’t have gotten so severe."
Nan Qiao comforted her: "Mom, don’t worry, grandma will be fine. I’ve asked a friend to send the tools and medicine to the hospital, once we get there I’ll check on grandma’s condition."
Nan Qiao continued: "Grandma should also be taking her medicine recently, which can stabilize her condition. Mom, don’t worry."
Chen Xinwan’s face looked a bit unpleasant, she nodded and said: "With Qiaoqiao here, I feel a bit more at ease."
Bai Zhenyang said: "Let’s see what the situation is when we get there."
The four of them rushed to the hospital and met Chen Hesong.
Upon seeing them, Chen Hesong quickly approached and said: "The doctor just said that our mom’s condition is very poor, and she may not survive the day. After leaving your house, she didn’t want to go back, so I had her stay in Jing City with us. Who would have thought, after she received a phone call, she just collapsed, and I immediately took her to the hospital."
Chen Hesong appeared to be extremely anxious, clearly indicating the seriousness of the situation.
Nan Qiao said: "Where’s grandma, I’m going to see her."
Chen Hesong said: "Qiaoqiao, the doctors are still busy, better not go in now."
Nan Qiao said: "Uncle, I am a doctor, I want to go check on grandma’s condition."
Chen Man ran over in a hurry, scoffing: "What are you capable of, to call yourself a doctor? You’re just a student at the Medical College, and yet you have the nerve to claim you’re a doctor."
Chen Man moved between Chi Chang and Chen Hesong: "Dad, she’s really full of it. Putting my grandma’s life in her hands would be irresponsible!"
Chi Chang said: "Manman, don’t spout nonsense. I’ve heard from your aunt that Qiaoqiao really has medical skills."
"I can also treat and save people, would you dare let me do it? Who can’t talk big?" Chen Man scoffed again.
Neither Chi Chang nor Chen Hesong had seen Nan Qiao treating and saving people, so naturally, they didn’t really believe in her abilities.
As for Chen Man, even though the pills Yao Yuzhi took were made by Nan Qiao, she didn’t believe it, because she had not seen Nan Qiao make them with her own eyes.
At this moment, Nan Qiao’s image was gradually diminishing in the eyes of the three of them.
Chen Xinwan angrily said: "Chen Man, how do you know that Qiaoqiao isn’t a doctor? Did you see it with your own eyes? For something you haven’t seen, how can you be so sure, who taught you to judge things this way!"
Chen Man, upset by the comments, heard Chen Xinwan say further: "The pills my mom has been taking were made by Qiaoqiao herself. How is she after taking them, Chen Man, don’t you know? If it weren’t for Qiaoqiao’s pills, today’s shock wouldn’t have been manageable for her."
Chen Xinwan’s gaze fell on Chen Hesong as she continued: "Chen Hesong, tell me, do you believe Chen Man or us?"
Chen Hesong didn’t know what to say anymore.
Chen Xinwan continued: "You all better get out of the way, otherwise if something happens to my mom, I won’t let you off!"
Chen Xinwan’s commanding presence made Chen Hesong and Chi Chang subconsciously step aside.
After all, Chen Xinwan was their financial backer.
Chen Man stepped forward, spreading her arms to block the way: "I disagree! Nan Qiao is not a good person! She caused Yu Rou’s death, and now she wants to harm my grandma, I will never agree to let her pass! Unless, she steps over my dead body!"
