Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Rolling in the Sheets?
Bai Yurou stood outside the door, completely dumbfounded.
If they hadn’t arrived early, would those two have ended up rolling in the sheets already?
She couldn’t accept it, she found it hard to accept.
Inside Bai Yurou’s heart, oh, the envy, jealousy, and hatred, it was painfully unbearable.
Bai Yurou felt very uncomfortable; she carried the soup she had made herself, her eyes filled with gloom.
Chen Xinwan stepped forward, and Nan Qiao pushed Li Yehan away, standing beside her.
“Qiaoqiao, I’ve heard all about it; Xu Dayong actually plotted to harm you.
You child, why didn’t you tell us?
You sent a message saying you were dining with friends and would sleep at their house tonight, and I believed you.
I’m really not a qualified good mother.”
Chen Xinwan was consumed with self-reproach; if she had realized sooner, she wouldn’t have been absent when her daughter needed her the most.
Bai Zhenyang also felt troubled; he was extremely remorseful.
“Daughter, those two people have been punished; daring to plot against you, I’ll make sure they’ll never think of leaving prison in their lifetimes!”
Nan Qiao felt somewhat embarrassed at the moment, being caught in this situation felt like being caught doing that thing in bed.
Nan Qiao hadn’t sent Chen Xinwan a message saying she wouldn’t come home that night; it must have been Li Yehan who sent it.
Luckily, she had deleted her chat messages with those few people, so they wouldn’t discover any secrets.
“I’m fine, fortunately, Li Yehan arrived in time, but he got splashed with sulfuric acid trying to save me.
I’m a doctor, so I stayed to take care of him.”
Li Yehan frowned; Nan Qiao’s explanation seemed like an attempt to keep him out of it.
“Luckily, Qiaoqiao was here to take care of me, and even treated my wounds.
Qiaoqiao truly has healing hands, taking very good care of me.”
Bai Yurou brought over the stewed soup: “Brother Ye Han, this is bone soup I made for you; let me serve you a bowl.”
Li Yehan’s expression changed suddenly, he said distantly, “The doctor said I need to eat a light diet.”
Bai Yurou’s hand paused, being rejected by Li Yehan in front of so many people left her without any face, and she was even less able to accept Li Yehan’s indifference.
Li Yehan’s indifference was only towards her; he would never be like that with Nan Qiao.
Li Yehan looked at the sleepy-eyed Nan Qiao, finding her cuteness made him want to gently rub her soft hair.
Chen Xinwan, concerned about Nan Qiao’s health, pulled her daughter to her side: “Qiaoqiao, let mom take you home to rest.
Look at you; your complexion is not very good; you surely didn’t sleep well.”
Nan Qiao also wanted to leave; she still had matters to attend to.
Nan Qiao agreed, and Chen Xinwan led her out by the hand, while Li Yehan watched her leave.
Bai Zhenyang looked at Li Yehan and saw that his gaze stuck to Nan Qiao just as stickily; he was anything but pleased.
This was his precious daughter!
No one was going to be his son-in-law, no matter who they were!
Bai Zhenyang said, “Yurou, let’s go ahead and leave, let Ye Han get some good rest.”
Bai Yurou carried the insulated container, walking out resentfully behind Bai Zhenyang, her heart filled with intense hatred.
Nan Qiao leaves, and she had to leave too?
In fact, Bai Zhenyang didn’t mean that at all; he just felt that Li Yehan’s treatment of Bai Yurou was particularly cold, and he didn’t want his daughter to stay by such a cold and distant CEO’s side, seeking her own humiliation.
His daughter was someone who needed to be cherished.
Unfortunately, Bai Yurou misunderstood his intent.
After returning home, Nan Qiao took a shower, changed clothes, ate some meal, and then heard Bai Zhenyang say that the two attempted murderers had been brought to justice by the police.
With Xu Dayong embezzling and accepting bribes, his crime escalated a degree, and there was no escape for him now.
The situation finally came to a close, and Nan Qiao went back to the company to continue working.
Chen Xinwan was so worried she could hardly stand it.
She tried to persuade with all her heart, “Qiaoqiao, let’s not go to work anymore.
If you don’t work, your mom and dad will support you.
Your third brother is coming back tomorrow, so just stay at home, okay?
It’s too dangerous outside.”
They couldn’t bear the pain of losing their daughter once again!
Bai Zhenyang agreed with Chen Xinwan’s words and also spoke up with concern, “Daughter, your mother makes a lot of sense.
As a girl, you don’t need to be so career-driven.
It would be so nice for us to stay at home and enjoy eating, drinking, shopping, and traveling every day.”
Grandpa Bai sat to the side, watching his son and daughter-in-law, and couldn’t help but laugh.
“You two, why don’t you listen to what Qiaoqiao thinks?
As parents, you shouldn’t always try to influence your child’s thoughts.”
Nan Qiao knew that whether it was Grandpa or her parents, they all loved her and didn’t want her to get hurt while also wanting her to be happy.
Nan Qiao smiled gently and said, “Dad, Mom, I know you care about me and are afraid I’ll get hurt.
But since I’ve chosen to work, then I must do my job well and not give up halfway.”
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan, although reluctant to agree, couldn’t stand up against Nan Qiao’s persuasion.
Whatever their daughter wanted, they wished to give it to her.
Nan Qiao added, “I will pay attention to my safety.
And once the college entrance exam results are out, I will go back to school.
It’s just working for this period of time, so you don’t have to worry.”
In the end, the couple still recognized Nan Qiao’s words and let her continue going to work.
Grandpa Bai said with a smile, “Our Qiaoqiao is so outstanding; she even rooted out those two scumbags.
I’d say Qiaoqiao has rendered a great service by eliminating trouble for the company.”
Bai Zhenyang nodded, “Absolutely, Qiaoqiao is the best!”
Chen Xinwan smiled, “I’m proud to have such an outstanding daughter.”
Nan Qiao, slightly embarrassed, bid farewell to her family and took the car to the company.
Uncle Dao and Uncle Qin were filled with guilt, both blaming themselves for the incident that day.
“Miss, it’s our fault we couldn’t protect you properly.”
Nan Qiao, “This has nothing to do with you; it was me who asked you to stop protecting me and go rest.”
Uncle Dao, “Miss, from now on, we will be sure to stay by your side to protect you.
Even if you tell us to go back, we won’t leave anymore.”
Uncle Qin, “Miss, please listen to us and let us stay with you at all times to protect you.”
“Uncle Qin, Uncle Dao, I’ll listen to you then.”
The two men finally breathed a sigh of relief and felt they could account for themselves.
When Nan Qiao arrived at the company, everyone looked at her differently.
Those who had been Xu Dayong’s lackeys now carried themselves with tails tucked.
Nan Qiao hadn’t fired these people yet, which didn’t mean she wouldn’t; she was just looking for another miracle.
Nan Qiao’s gaze was particularly sharp, making the employees bow their heads.
“Meeting in five minutes.”
Nan Qiao said and went into her office.
She brought out the files and walked into the conference room where everyone was seated, silent and attentive to Nan Qiao’s arrangements.
Nan Qiao quite liked this atmosphere; it seemed that when it comes to discipline, it should indeed be enforced.
As Nan Qiao was about to speak, her phone rang.
She glanced at the caller ID, it was Hou Ze.
“I’m going out to take a call, you guys take a look at these documents first.”
With one look from Nan Qiao, Rong Yan distributed the documents.
Nan Qiao went to the doorway, took the call, and asked, “What is it?”
