Jiang Linyu saw the injuries Li Xia sustained and noticed she had lost weight, feeling deeply distressed.
"Xiaxia, you’ve been through so much."
Li Xia gritted her teeth and said, "It’s all because of that little bitch Nan Qiao, she caused me to end up . She found a caretaker who torments me every day. If not for her, I’d have recovered long ago and been able to walk."
Jiang Linyu had suffered several losses at the hands of Nan Qiao and knew that Nan Qiao was someone very difficult to deal with.
Li Ye sat in the chair, silent, lost in thought.
Li Xia asked, "Mom, talk to Dad, we absolutely cannot let Nan Qiao into the Li Family! Dad cherishes me so much, he will definitely seek justice for me!"
Li Ye looked at Li Xia and smiled mockingly, "Li Tianhong wants to divorce Mom."
"What!" Li Xia was stunned.
Jiang Linyu glared at Li Ye unhappily, "Why are you telling Xiaxia this?"
Li Xia was extremely agitated and asked anxiously, "Mom, why does he want to divorce you? Did he discover some secret? You’re always so cautious, there’s no way he could have found out!!"
"Xiaxia, this isn’t something you should be worrying about. Focus on getting healthy, and we’ll deal with other matters later."
Li Xia wanted to ask more, but Jiang Linyu got up and left.
Li Xia closed her mouth again, not daring to ask further.
She could see that both Jiang Linyu and Li Ye were not in high spirits, facing difficulties.
Li Xia held the remote control, adjusted the headboard to recline halfway.
"Mom, what’s your plan next? You can’t just let Nan Qiao keep pressing us!"
Li Ye said, "If you don’t speak, no one will think you’re mute."
Li Xia glared at Li Ye furiously, "Shut up!"
"Alright, stop arguing! You guys can’t work together if your hearts are not united!" Jiang Linyu was irritated and uneasy.
It’s said that three fools together make a wise man, yet the three of them sitting together had no good ideas.
Li Xia opened her mouth to say something but ultimately closed it again.
She had no good solution, either.
The atmosphere was quiet, so quiet that the sound of a needle dropping could be heard.
Nan Qiao arrived at the Lu Family, checked Liu Yun’s pulse, and delivered medicine to her.
"Qiaoqiao, thanks to you, my health has been getting better. I sleep well now, and have a good appetite. I don’t even know how to thank you enough."
Nan Qiao replied, "Aunt, you’ve already paid me the consultancy fee, this is my duty."
"You’re such a modest child. I bought a set of Red Agate jewelry at the auction yesterday, I’d like to give it to you."
Speaking, Liu Yun brought out the jewelry and handed it to Nan Qiao.
She really didn’t want to accept something so troublesome.
"Aunt, I truly can’t accept this gift. I have other things to attend to, I’ll be leaving now."
Nan Qiao picked up the medical kit and left, moving quickly, refusing to stay no matter what was said.
Liu Yun handed the items to Lu Wang, asking him to catch up with Nan Qiao and give the gift to her.
Lu Wang took the gift and caught up with Nan Qiao.
"Nan Qiao," Lu Wang called out.
Nan Qiao turned around, her gaze landing on the box in Lu Wang’s hand, and she ran quickly.
Lu Wang chased while Nan Qiao ran ahead.
One chased and one ran, Lu Wang didn’t catch up with Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao got into a car and drove away.
Lu Wang stood at the doorway, watching as Nan Qiao drove off into the distance.
After leaving the Lu Family, Nan Qiao continued driving.
She glanced at the rearview mirror and discovered that the car was still following her.
Nan Qiao’s memory was incredible, she memorized the car’s license plate number.
Nan Qiao accelerated, driving forward.
The car behind was relentlessly pursuing and refused to back off.
Nan Qiao curved her lips in a subtle smile, dialed Hou Ze’s number.
After explaining a few things, Nan Qiao pressed the accelerator, passing through the traffic lights.
The car chasing her wasn’t so lucky and got stuck at the red light.
Inside the car, someone slammed the steering wheel angrily, saying, "She got away! She must’ve noticed us!"
"Hurry and inform the madam we’ve lost her, and let her find another way."
The two people were flustered, the car behind honking urgently for them to move.
The driver cursed angrily, "What’s the hurry! Even reincarnation isn’t that fast!"
Nan Qiao returned to the security company, waiting in Hou Ze’s office.
After a short while, Hou Ze walked in.
"Boss, we’ve checked, it’s Ren Yongshi’s doing. Although she doesn’t have money, suddenly she had five million dollars on hand these past days."
Nan Qiao sneered lightly, "I didn’t expect her to be still so foolish, willing to be used as a pawn."
"Boss, it must be her hatred for you, willing to be used just to bring you down."
"In that case, let her understand the consequences of being a scapegoat."
Hou Ze asked, "Boss, what do you plan to do?"
Nan Qiao explained softly, and Hou Ze nodded.
"Boss, leave this to me, I promise it’ll be done beautifully!"
Nan Qiao acknowledged with a sound, then left the security company.
Li Xia recovered and returned to school.
Originally dejected, Dong Qingqing immediately perked up like a puppy finding its owner, wagging her tail and pleading.
Dong Qingqing said excitedly, "Xiaxia, you’re finally back."
"What happened at school while I was away? Tell me everything."
Dong Qingqing explained, "The school organized a competition team to go abroad next month, led by Nan Qiao. The team members were handpicked by her: Chen Man and Huang Xue, all three are going."
Li Xia frowned, "Isn’t Lv Cancan from their dorm? Why didn’t she include her?"
"I heard she could only take two people, Nan Qiao chose these two and didn’t choose Lv Cancan. Lv Cancan isn’t upset, she’s actually quite happy, saying her abilities aren’t as strong as theirs, and it’s okay not to go."
Li Xia was repeatedly angry, saying, "Fool!"
"Exactly, Lv Cancan is truly a heartless fool. Nan Qiao didn’t take her, yet she’s happy to continue being friends with Nan Qiao. Xiaxia, you’ve missed out a lot, the team for the competition should’ve belonged to you!"
"No doubt! My capabilities outrace Nan Qiao’s. If I hadn’t taken leave, there would’ve been no chance for Nan Qiao."
Dong Qingqing glanced at Li Xia, she merely flattered randomly, and Li Xia genuinely believed it?
Inwardly, Dong Qingqing thought Li Xia was quite clueless, not realizing her own limits.
She lost the last competition and still shamelessly claims she definitely would’ve been selected now.
Dong Qingqing internally criticized but kept praising out loud.
Li Xia said, "It’s just going abroad for a competition, I wonder if Nan Qiao can bring back a first place."
Dong Qingqing sneered, "If she doesn’t, the Medical College students’ saliva alone could drown Nan Qiao!"
Li Xia had a plan in mind but knew she must wait for the right moment before taking action.
Nan Qiao walked out of the school gates and headed to the parking lot.
As she walked, footsteps sounded behind her.
Nan Qiao continued, aware someone was tailing her.
Nan Qiao started running, the person behind following suit.
Nan Qiao ran to the back of a pillar, using its width to hide.
She pulled a small object from her bag, pressed a button, and the lighter became a stiff, thin line.
Nan Qiao wielded the weapon, turning swiftly towards the person ahead...
