Nan Qiao said to Li Ye, "I’ll go by myself. You guys just wait at home."
After hanging up the phone, she still decided to make the trip.
Nan Qiao changed into a white short-sleeved shirt and denim pants, and put on a pair of sneakers for ease of walking.
Packing her things in the bag, Nan Qiao picked up a pearl hair clip and fastened it to her head.
Nan Qiao rode her motorcycle to Li Ye’s house. Upon arriving at the doorstep, she got off the motorcycle, closely followed by Hou Ze and Zheng Qinnian who had just arrived.
Li Ye gazed at the stunning and impressive Nan Qiao, thinking to himself in amazement how lucky Li Yehan was to have such a perfect girlfriend.
Li Ye proactively stepped forward to greet them, "And who might these two be?"
Nan Qiao replied, "My assistants. The more help Ms. Jiang has, the more chances of recovery."
With Nan Qiao having said that, Li Ye found it hard to refuse, also realizing that these two were bodyguards Nan Qiao had brought to protect herself.
He understood all this.
Li Ye said, "Alright, then follow me. My mother is waiting for you guys in the living room."
Nan Qiao, smiling but saying nothing, walked in with Hou Ze and Zheng Qinnian.
Jiang Linyu, seated in a wheelchair, whispered to Li Xia upon seeing Nan Qiao nearly walking in, "Xiaxia, remember to be sincere when you apologize later."
Li Xia, head bowed, still couldn’t accept the reality even after a whole night had passed.
Jiang Linyu spoke gently and rationally, "Xiaxia, do you want your mother to be a cripple? It’s very inconvenient for me to do anything while sitting in this wheelchair. You also know that our plan didn’t go as smoothly as we hoped. I’m really worried."
Li Xia slowly lifted her head, forcing a smile, "Mom, I know what to do."
Jiang Linyu breathed a sigh of relief, as if she could already see herself standing up again.
"Xiaxia, mom knows you’re the most filial," Jiang Linyu said beamingly.
Li Xia didn’t make a sound because Nan Qiao and her party had entered the room.
Li Ye signaled to Li Xia, and she stood up.
"Nan Qiao, I’m sorry," Li Xia felt extremely ashamed.
Nan Qiao: "What’s that? What are you saying? I can’t hear you."
Hou Ze: "I can’t hear clearly either. Did she not have breakfast?"
Zheng Qinnian: "Her attitude doesn’t seem very apologetic; it’s a reluctant apology, isn’t it?"
Jiang Linyu lifted her head to look at Li Xia, and Li Ye’s gaze also turned her way, both staring at Li Xia.
Feeling her scalp tingle from being stared at, Li Xia could only say loudly, "Nan Qiao, I’m sorry!"
After saying these words, Li Xia clenched her hands into fists, wishing she could send Nan Qiao flying.
It was all Nan Qiao’s fault, making her lose so much face!
Thankfully, Li Yehan didn’t come and didn’t have to witness this embarrassing moment for her. Otherwise, she truly would have wished she were dead.
Seeing Li Xia , Nan Qiao curved her lips into a faint smile, "Li Yehan, did you hear that? Jiang Ningzhu apologized to me. Rest assured."
Li Yehan wasn’t supposed to come, was he?
Was Nan Qiao talking to thin air?
Nan Qiao hung up the phone, shaking her mobile: "Li Yehan was worried about me being bullied. I told him it’s nothing, but he wouldn’t listen, I couldn’t help it, it’s very helpless."
Li Xia demanded, "Nan Qiao, you did that on purpose, didn’t you!?"
Was Nan Qiao deliberately wanting to see her humiliated?
Seeing Li Xia about to lose her temper and argue with Nan Qiao, Jiang Linyu quickly said, "Nan Qiao, please take a look at my leg first."
Nan Qiao sat down, "Let me check your pulse first."
Jiang Linyu hurriedly extended her hand, fearing that if she was a step late, Nan Qiao wouldn’t let her see it.
Jiang Linyu was very cooperative, Nan Qiao didn’t speak, Hou Ze and Zheng Qinnian stood by the side.
After taking her pulse, Nan Qiao said, "I suspect your leg condition is related to the environment you live in, let this master take a look for you."
"What do you mean?" Jiang Linyu didn’t quite understand Nan Qiao’s meaning.
Nan Qiao said, "Let him walk around the house; he won’t enter the interior, just check the feng shui from the outside."
Jiang Linyu wanted to refuse but didn’t want to lose the chance to stand up again.
Since it’s just looking from the outside, why not let him take a look?
Jiang Linyu looked at Li Ye, Li Ye nodded and said to Nan Qiao, "Okay, I’ll take him for a tour."
"All right, you guys go ahead."
Hou Ze nodded and left with Li Ye.
Jiang Linyu eagerly asked, "How is it, what’s the condition of my leg, when can I stand up?"
Nan Qiao smiled faintly, "That’s hard to say."
Li Xia glanced at Nan Qiao, leaning on the couch, and said with a laugh, "Before coming here, I saw you were confident. How come your expression now seems so gloomy and worried, as if you can’t cure my mom’s leg. Are you here to joke around, Nan Qiao?"
Nan Qiao laughed, "Before I came, I never said I could cure Ms. Jiang’s leg! It was Li Ye who begged me to come, and it was you who apologized to get me here. Which ear of yours heard that I could definitely cure her leg?"
Jiang Linyu frowned and said, "Xiaxia, go to the kitchen and see if the coffee is ready, and bring some fruit cakes over."
Has Nan Qiao come to be an old housekeeper?
Li Xia, bold in anger but cautious in action, could only go to the kitchen to check.
After Li Xia left, Jiang Linyu smiled and asked, "Nan Qiao, tell me the truth, can my leg still stand up or not?"
Nan Qiao straightforwardly said, "That’s hard to say, I can’t make out the specific condition either. Ms. Jiang, you should seek someone more capable."
Nan Qiao stood up, Zheng Qinnian quickly moved to her side to ensure her safety.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Linyu was so devastated, she roared angrily, "If you’re incapable, why did you even come here!"
"Wasn’t it because Li Ye begged me to come? He also said that as long as I could come, Li Xia would apologize to me. If it wasn’t for his sincerity, I wouldn’t have come at all."
She suddenly felt that the whole family had been played by Nan Qiao.
Li Xia carried items out of the kitchen, just in time to hear Nan Qiao’s words.
"Nan Qiao, what do you mean? Are you playing us?" Li Xia put the items aside and walked over angrily.
Nan Qiao stood up, ready to leave at any moment.
"What, you want to hit someone now?" Nan Qiao crossed her arms.
Zheng Qinnian said coldly, "You asked us to come and treat you, but we never said we could definitely cure you. What? There’s no such thing as forced buying and selling in doing business, is there?"
Nan Qiao continued, "If you don’t believe it, you can ask Li Ye. I told Li Ye that I might not be able to cure his mother’s leg, but he said it’s alright, as long as I can come."
Zheng Qinnian grabbed Nan Qiao’s arm, "Stand behind me, let’s see what they want to do."
Li Xia was seething with anger; she had just humbled herself to apologize to Nan Qiao, and even Li Yehan had heard it.
After all this time, Nan Qiao can’t do anything?
If she can’t do it, then why come at all?
Did she come just to humiliate her?
Nan Qiao said with a smile, "I’ll go find Li Ye, and let Li Ye tell you."
As soon as Nan Qiao said this, she and Zheng Qinnian began to back towards the door.
