From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 308: A Huge Change in Living People

Chen Man’s words left Chen Xinwan stunned.

Has this child watched so much TV that she’s become foolish?

"Manman, Qiaoqiao is my biological daughter, and I’m not bad to Yu Rou either. How could you think that just because I have Qiaoqiao, I would drive her away?"

"What about Yu Rou? She’s also not at home, is she? I sent her messages, but she didn’t reply."

Chen Xinwan only felt a headache coming on. She hadn’t yet told her family about Bai Yurou.

Chen Xingwan’s mother has heart disease, and she feared the elderly lady wouldn’t be able to take the news. Plus, with Nan Qiao not wanting to disclose her identity, she had kept silent about it as well.

Facing Chen Man, Chen Xinwan could only say calmly: "Manman, I’ll tell you about this matter later."

Chen Man said angrily, "Auntie, you’ve changed. How could you be like this!"

Chen Man left in a huff, and Chen Xinwan quickly sat beside Nan Qiao, softly comforting her: "Qiaoqiao, don’t be upset, this is all my fault. I didn’t tell because your grandmother has a heart condition, and I was worried the news would shock her. Our family was poisoned, and speaking about the murder attempts might alert the culprits."

Chen Xinwan was very worried that Nan Qiao would overthink it and didn’t want their relationship to suffer because of it.

While Chen Xinwan was worried, Nan Qiao, on the other hand, comforted her: "Mom, I’m not angry. Indeed, such matters shouldn’t be told to others."

Chen Xinwan sighed in relief: "Now that things have settled down, I’ll go tell your grandma right now."

Nan Qiao grabbed Chen Xinwan’s arm and told her: "Mom, don’t tell grandma for now. Big brother said grandma adores Bai Yurou very much. If grandma knew about Bai Yurou’s death, I’m also worried her body couldn’t take it."

Chen Xinwan became both anxious and heartbroken: "Qiaoqiao, if that’s the case, you will suffer a lot of grievances. Grandma won’t understand, and Manman is not sensible, they will surely blame you."

But Nan Qiao didn’t care about these affairs. Her mother protected her, and she wanted to protect the people her mother cared about too.

"Qiaoqiao, this isn’t fair to you," said Chen Xinwan helplessly.

Thinking of Nan Qiao’s good nature, Chen Xinwan still felt that they couldn’t go on like this.

"Qiaoqiao, your grandma has to know the truth eventually. Qiaoqiao, don’t you have quick heart-saving pills? Give me some, when the time comes, let your grandma take a couple more, that should be okay, right?"

Nan Qiao couldn’t help but cry and laugh at the same time. Her medicine was indeed effective, but it couldn’t guarantee safety every time.

Thinking of the bigger picture, Nan Qiao still felt that they couldn’t proceed this way.

"Mom, let’s take it one step at a time. Manman knows about me now, right? If she knows, grandma will surely find out. Mom, grandma will definitely call you to ask about this matter."

"Manman is just spoiled and headstrong," said Chen Xinwan helplessly.

She had also talked to her elder brother about this, but after all, it wasn’t her child, there wasn’t much she could do.

"Mom, don’t tell grandma that Bai Yurou has passed away. Just say she went abroad for further studies. Gradually, when grandma can’t contact her, we will see what to do then," Nan Qiao suggested.

Persuaded by Nan Qiao, Chen Xinwan could only proceed as she proposed for now.

...

After returning to her room, Nan Qiao received a lot of messages on her phone.

Deng Bingying sent a message: Mr. Qiao, someone would like to request your help in designing ten suits for men. I have sent you the sizes. The client said money is no object; they just want to wear your designs to an event.

Nan Qiao replied: Okay, I’ll send the designs to you before tomorrow.

The next message was from Zheng Qinnian: Qiaoqiao, the acne removal product is ready, the experiment was very successful. Are you still cooperating with your mother on this?

Nan Qiao answered: Yes, thank you for your hard work.

The messages kept coming, one after another, including one from her martial arts master Wu Shaogong: Qiaoqiao, I heard you’ve returned to Jing City? I’ll be in Jing City in a few days, and your master will treat you to something delicious.

Nan Qiao held her phone, a happy smile on her face: No problem, Master, I know a few great restaurants, I’ll take you to eat haha.

After replying the message, Nan Qiao saw the message sent by Ke Muran: Mr. Qiao, aren’t you coming to the competition on Saturday?

When Nan Qiao thought about the competition, she thought of Bai Jingyan, who was so immersed in preparation that he forgot to sleep and eat.

She didn’t want to affect Bai Jingyan’s competitive mindset; after all, he couldn’t stay calm if he knew at this critical time that she was his opponent.

Nan Qiao replied: I won’t join you guys there. Tell them, even if they see me on site, they should pretend they don’t see me.

She had to protect this disguise.

After sending the reply, Nan Qiao picked up a pen and started drawing the design.

...

Downstairs, Bai Zhenyang also returned, and Chen Xinwan gave him a look, prompting Bai Zhenyang to go back to the room with her.

Chen Xinwan recounted the situation to Bai Zhenyang.

Bai Zhenyang frowned deeply, his face full of worry: "Your niece, Chen Man, wasn’t she in Hu Zhou? How did she suddenly come to Jing City?"

"I have no idea what’s going on either." Chen Xinwan held her phone, wanting to call, but unsure of what to say.

Bai Zhenyang said: "That’s too unfair for Qiaoqiao. How about this? Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you back to your parental home."

"Qiaoqiao said the more people know, the worse it is for us. You want to go see Qiaoqiao without telling her, aren’t you afraid our daughter will be angry?"

Bai Zhenyang: "..."

His daughter is the most important.

With a sigh, Chen Xinwan said: "I think we should do as Qiaoqiao suggests for now. If anything else happens, we’ll think of another solution."

Just as Chen Xinwan finished speaking, her phone rang; it was a call from her mother, Yao Yuzhi.

Bai Zhenyang: "..."

Speak of the devil and he shall appear.

Chen Xinwan answered the call, and Yao Yuzhi’s angry voice came from the other end: "Chen Xinwan, let me ask you, where has Yurou gone? Even if you’ve found your biological daughter, you can’t just drive Yurou away! I watched that child grow up, her conduct is not bad, isn’t it good for you to have one more daughter to dote on you?"

Not to mention Yao Yuzhi, even they had not anticipated that Bai Yurou was the one who had betrayed them.

After living together for eighteen years, Bai Yurou was very skilled at interacting and pleasing everyone.

If it weren’t for the evidence right before their eyes, no one would dare to believe it!

Chen Xinwan explained: "Mom, I know you like Yurou. Yurou... she just went abroad to do research, saying that she’ll be unable to use her cell phone for a while, in case she leaks secrets."

Yao Yuzhi: "Don’t try to fool me, what kind of research keeps you from using a phone. Have Yurou call me back, or else I’m going to your place to drive that Nan Qiao away!"

Chen Xinwan, holding her forehead: "Mom, Qiaoqiao is my own flesh and blood, and no one can mistreat her. She’s suffered a lot, a pure and kind-hearted girl. If you met Qiaoqiao, you’d definitely like her too."

"Chen Xinwan, I’m not going to say much, I just want to see Yurou. Have Yurou call me back, otherwise I’m coming to Jing City to find you! You know I have heart disease and you still make me angry. Chen Xinwan, do you wish your mother dead?"

Chen Xinwan looked at Bai Zhenyang with a helpless expression: "Mom, please listen to me..."

However, Yao Yuzhi had hung up the phone and didn’t listen to her explanation.

Chen Xinwan looked at Bai Zhenyang and said, quite helplessly: "What should we do? I can’t conjure up a Bai Yurou for her to see, what should we do!"
