From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 321: I want to let you all see the true face of Nan Qiao
Chapter 321: Chapter 321: I want to let you all see the true face of Nan Qiao
Jiang Linyu was extremely irritable; this was not the outcome she had wanted.
"Get on it and do a thorough search! If you can’t find anything, you’ll all pay!" Jiang Linyu hung up the phone.
She paced back and forth in the room, not having felt this anxious in a long time.
Nan Qiao, always Nan Qiao,
Jiang Linyu made a call and said to the person on the other end, "Find me the best assassin, I’m offering one billion, for Nan Qiao’s life!"
...
On a night with a darkened moon and howling winds, perfect for murder,
Xiao Gao from the secretary’s office was kidnapped on his way home from work.
When he opened his eyes, he saw Li Yehan seated in a chair, which frightened him immensely.
"Mr. Li?"
Li Yehan stood up, went to lay in front of him on the ground, squatted down, his domineering presence causing Xiao Gao to shiver uncontrollably.
Li Yehan held a knife in his hand, the back of the blade pressed against Xiao Gao’s face: "Speak, why did you betray me."
Xiao Gao denied it loudly: "Mr. Li, it wasn’t me! I have nothing to do with it."
Li Yehan sat back down, and Old Liu delivered a kick to Xiao Gao’s stomach: "Your girlfriend’s account suddenly has an extra million. Tell me, what’s that about?"
Feeling like he was in grave danger, Xiao Gao struggled to his knees, bowing before Li Yehan: "Mr. Li, I’m sorry, it was a moment of foolishness, it’s all my fault."
Old Liu demanded: "Spit it out, who put you up to this, speak up quickly!"
Xiao Gao kneeled on the ground, the icy floor contacting his knees, causing him to shiver involuntarily.
As the situation had unfolded up to now, his brain was racing, but he couldn’t figure out a damn thing, which was incredibly frustrating.
Without a word, he received a solid kick from Old Liu.
Xiao Gao spat out blood, the spray landing in the direction where Li Yehan was located.
Quickly, Old Wu took off his coat to shield the area in front of Li Yehan.
Unfortunately, a few drops of blood still managed to stain Li Yehan’s shoes.
Li Yehan’s face turned livid, and Xiao Gao, too frightened to even wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth, knelt and crawled forward, using his hands to wipe Li Yehan’s shoes.
Li Yehan kicked out, sending Xiao Gao into a state of great fear and unease.
"Mr. Li, it’s all my fault. Mr. Li, please don’t be angry."
Old Liu, fists clenched with anger, made cracking noises with his knuckles.
"Damn it, you idiot, confess now or do you believe I’ll punch you to death right here!"
Old Liu, holding a knife, its gleaming blade making Xiao Gao tremble relentlessly.
Old Liu spoke viciously: "I’m giving you one last chance, or you’ll be stabbed in white and pulled out red!"
So, Xiao Gao told the truth: "It was Li Ye who bribed me to monitor Mr. Li’s every move. Who you met every day, who you cooperated with, where you dined, all your habits, I reported everything to him."
Li Yehan’s voice was chilling: "Is that all?"
"That’s really all, Mr. Li, please, I beg you to let me go."
Li Yehan stood up, looking down on Xiao Gao: "What’s your relationship with Jiang Linyu?"
Xiao Gao was dumbfounded; Li Yehan had even found out about that?
Xiao Gao had no choice but to tell the truth: "I am Jiang Linyu’s nephew..."
Li Yehan stood up and walked away; Xiao Gao desperately begged for mercy.
...
At midnight, Jiang Linyu was woken up by someone.
Jiang Linyu cursed in annoyance: "What’s all this ruckus about? You’re making a racket and killing me with the noise!"
The servant said: "Madam, something terrible has happened, Mr. Gao has been tossed at the doorstep."
Jiang Linyu, though not panicked, also had no trace of sleepiness left and descended the stairs with an anxious look on her face.
Xiao Gao was tied up tight, with a bruised face and a swollen nose.
"Auntie..." Xiao Gao let out a pained cry.
Jiang Linyu’s anger flared: "How could you have blown your cover?"
Xiao Gao sobbed: "Auntie, I have no idea what happened. I was captured on my way home from work, and Li Yehan somehow knows I was sent by you..."
Jiang Linyu took a deep breath, consoled Xiao Gao a few words, then had someone take him back and promised him a sum of money.
After Xiao Gao left, Mrs. He whispered: "Madam, Mr. Gao is no longer a useful piece on the chess board."
Jiang Linyu, dropping the concerned look from just moments before, said coldly: "I had someone try to take out Li Yehan, fully aware that it would burn this pawn. So be it if he’s burnt, he’s useless trash anyway."
Jiang Linyu sat on the sofa, her voice filled with reluctance: "I never expected Li Yehan’s life to be so tough, and Nan Qiao is a tough one to deal with as well. If it hadn’t been for her interference, today’s plan would have been successful!"
Jiang Linyu imagined the outcome and felt a sense of comfort wash over her.
But the current situation had Jiang Linyu grinding her teeth in frustration.
...
The next morning, Nan Qiao woke up early for a run before having breakfast.
Yao Yuzhi was sent away, but Chen Man did not leave.
Chen Xinwan explained to Nan Qiao: "Manman doesn’t want to leave; I’ve already called your aunt, and she said she would come to take Manman away in the afternoon."
"Mom, I will get some medicine later for you to send to Grandma," said Nan Qiao.
Chen Xinwan was taken aback, then deeply moved.
"Qiaoqiao, you’re just too kind. Your grandmother has said so many unpleasant things, yet you still repay evil with good. You’re being too hard on yourself."
Nan Qiao smiled: "Mom, even though Grandma is not nice to me, she is still your mother, and I want you to be happy."
Nan Qiao just didn’t want to upset Chen Xinwan too much, since Yao Yuzhi wouldn’t be coming back anyway.
"Qiaoqiao, thank you," said Chen Xinwan.
"Mom, you’re welcome, let’s have breakfast," said Nan Qiao.
Seeing that Nan Qiao wasn’t upset over Yao Yuzhi’s matter, Bai Zhenyang felt even more affectionate towards his daughter.
"Qiaoqiao, I’ll have Chen Man leave this afternoon. She’s inconsiderate and disrespectful around us. I’ll speak to your aunt later and ask her to discipline her properly," said Bai Zhenyang.
"Uncle, how do you plan to discipline me?" Chen Man walked in, fuming with anger.
In the past, Chen Man had been arrogant and overbearing, and neither Chen Xinwan nor Bai Zhenyang said much, considering she was their niece.
But now that Chen Man was bullying Nan Qiao, they naturally couldn’t endure it.
Chen Man was angry. She felt it was because of Nan Qiao’s presence that her aunt and uncle no longer loved her.
Chen Man came over and sat beside Nan Qiao: "Uncle, don’t you love me anymore? You and Auntie used to care for me so much, but now you don’t care for me at all."
Chen Xinwan said: "Manman, Qiaoqiao is my daughter. If you respect her, I will certainly care for you too. But if you disrespect my daughter, how can I continue to love you like before?"
Bai Zhenyang also said: "Qiaoqiao is my daughter, and I won’t allow anyone to bully her!"
Chen Man, frowning and huffing with anger, said: "You treat Nan Qiao so well and have forgotten about Yu Rou. Do you really think Nan Qiao is such a good girl?"
Chen Xinwan, unable to contain her anger, exclaimed: "Chen Man, shut your mouth! I won’t allow you to talk about Qiaoqiao like that!"
Chen Man stood up, her face serious as she said: "Aunt, Uncle, let me introduce you to someone, and then you’ll see the true nature of Nan Qiao! I hope you won’t be too disappointed by then!"
Nan Qiao gave a faint smile: "Who is this person? I’d also like to see who you’ve brought to my home."
