Chapter 444: Chapter 444: A Car Crashes into Nan Qiao
Li Yehan parked the car by the roadside and got out to open the door for Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao sat in the passenger seat, and Li Yehan, as always, helped her fasten the seatbelt.
“Li Yehan, it’s my cousin’s birthday, what are you going for?”
“Your cousin is also my cousin. We often see each other. If I don’t go now, and later when we get married, she still holds a grudge about this, what if she makes you leave ?”
Nan Qiao found it both amusing and frustrating. After Li Yehan finished speaking, she didn’t know what else to say.
“You make such a good point, I have no choice but to let you co along.”
Li Yehan’s lips curled into a slight smile as he and Nan Qiao arrived at the venue together.
Nan Qiao wore a white dress, which, without any adornnts, looked even more beautiful on her.
Li Yehan bent his arm: “Hold onto .”
Before Nan Qiao could link arms, Bai Jingting appeared.
“Sister, let’s go in together.”
Li Yehan: “…”
Bai Jingting really ca at the wrong ti.
Nan Qiao stood between the two n, feeling caught in a dilemma.
Just then, Du Qianqian arrived.
“Qiaoqiao!”
Du Qianqian waved, saving Nan Qiao from her predicant.
“My friend is calling , I’ll go over first.”
Nan Qiao went over to Du Qianqian, who looked better than before. Having solved her family issues, she was in high spirits after experiencing good fortune.
“Qiaoqiao, thanks to you. My grandmother woke up and pointed out my uncle as the one who hard her. She kicked my uncle out of the family, saying she’d co thank you personally once she’s fully recovered.”
“No need to ntion it.” By saving Du Qianqian, she was also saving herself.
Jiang Linyu’s sches couldn’t succeed, which was a good thing for her as well.
“Qiaoqiao, don’t be so modest. You saved our whole family. My parents want to co with my grandma to thank you too.”
Du Qianqian’s grandmother’s health wasn’t good, and there were many family matters at ho.
Recently, Du Qianqian’s parents had been busy with household affairs, and the gifts they ordered weren’t ready either. They hadn’t found the ti to thank Nan Qiao.
“Tell your parents, there’s really no need to be so formal. It was just a small effort, not worth ntioning.”
“Qiaoqiao, you’re just too humble.” Du Qianqian linked arms with Nan Qiao, smiling broadly.
Nan Qiao didn’t say much more and followed Du Qianqian into the venue.
Outside, Li Yehan and Bai Jingting exchanged glances and simultaneously turned their heads, pretending not to see each other.
…
In the venue, Nan Qiao saw Jiang Linyu and Li Xia and was surprised they were there too.
Chen Man walked over to Nan Qiao and whispered, “My parents didn’t invite them. I don’t know how they got the invitation, but they’re here. Now that they’re here, my parents can’t just kick them out in front of everyone.”
“Let them co, let’s see if she can stir up any trouble.”
Chen Man breathed a sigh of relief. Nan Qiao was truly magnanimous.
“Don’t worry, Qiaoqiao. Once the banquet is over, she’ll leave. If she dares to cause trouble, I’ll make sure they pay for it.”
Nan Qiao found it amusing: “There are so many people here today, and caras all around. I doubt they’d dare to do anything.”
Chen Man took Nan Qiao to have so pastries. The banquet’s pastries were made by famous chefs and tasted exquisite.
Nan Qiao took a bite, followed by another.
“Delicious.”
“Qiaoqiao, if you like them, I’ll have the chef make so and send them to you,” Chen Man eagerly offered.
Nearby, a man’s magnetically deep voice rang out: “No need to trouble Miss Chen, I’ll buy them for Qiaoqiao.”
Chen Man followed the voice to see Li Yehan’s icy expression and quickly looked down.
“Qiaoqiao, all your boyfriend’s gentleness must be just for you.” After just one glance, Chen Man dared not look at Li Yehan’s face again.
Though handso, he was icy cold, not sothing anyone could withstand.
When Nan Qiao looked over, Li Yehan’s sharp deanor instantly softened into a gentle and doting expression.
Accidentally seeing it, Chen Man still felt that Li Yehan emitted an intimidating aura, deterring others from approaching.
Besides Nan Qiao, he showed no kindness to anyone.
“Qiaoqiao, I’ll head off now.” Chen Man made a quick escape.
Li Yehan sat next to Nan Qiao with a face full of doting smiles, talking to her.
Not far away, so people had begun to notice Nan Qiao beside Li Yehan.
“Mr. Li has a girlfriend?”
“I heard he does. Seems like this girl is his girlfriend. Do you know which family she cos from?”
“Not sure. I’ve no impression, never seen her.”
“Mr. Li doesn’t like heiresses, prefers a Cinderella?”
They exchanged glances, agreeing on this conclusion.
“How could Mr. Li like a woman with no background?”
“Old Li, what do you understand? Mr. Li has already achieved financial freedom, he doesn’t worry about money, why would he need a family alliance?”
Their agreent was also a nod to reality, unable to refute.
Li Xia stood nearby, listening to the discussion, a surge of anger boiling within her, heating her blood.
Jiang Linyu whispered, “Don’t cause trouble, this isn’t the place for it.”
Li Xia nodded. She was here to watch, not to stir things up.
Jiang Linyu asked again, “Is everything ready?”
“All ready, there won’t be any trace back to us.”
The confident tone pleased Jiang Linyu greatly.
Their gazes simultaneously fell on Nan Qiao.
At this mont, Nan Qiao was full of joy, engaged in a lively conversation with Li Yehan.
As an outsider, Li Xia was provoked by the connection between Nan Qiao and Li Yehan, their eye contact seemingly electrifying.
Holding her glass, Li Xia’s eyes were filled with malice, wishing she could smash the glass against Nan Qiao’s head.
Nan Qiao sensed soone watching her with intense emotions.
She turned around and t Li Xia’s still glaring eyes.
Nan Qiao’s lips curved into a confident smile, infuriating Li Xia.
Li Xia turned and left, not wanting anyone to see her emotions.
Li Yehan noticed Nan Qiao’s mood seed off and asked with concern, “Qiaoqiao, what’s wrong?”
“Li Xia saw with you and got very angry.”
Li Yehan: “…”
“Don’t misunderstand, Qiaoqiao, I just find her disgusting, never looked at her properly ever.”
Nan Qiao smiled without speaking.
“I’ll go chat with Uncle and Aunt, I’ll be back soon.”
Li Yehan gave a nod as Nan Qiao got up and left.
Before reaching Chen Hesong, Nan Qiao received a call from Liu Feng.
“Miss, my right eye keeps twitching, are you okay?”
“Aunt Liu, I’m fine. I’m at the banquet, nothing will happen.”
“Miss, stay safe.”
“Aunt Liu, I will.”
Nan Qiao hung up the call and continued to socialize.
Soon after, Liu Feng called Nan Qiao again.
“Miss, I’m coming to pick you up. I won’t feel at ease until I see you safely back ho.”
Nan Qiao didn’t expect Liu Feng to actually co.
“Aunt Liu, wait at the door. I’ll co over.”
Nan Qiao told Chen Xinwan a few words and then headed outside.
Outside, she saw a worried Liu Feng.
“Aunt Liu, I’m alright.”
Seeing Nan Qiao, Liu Feng felt a little relieved.
With a broad smile, she approached Nan Qiao.
“Miss, I’ll go back with you so I can feel assured.”
Just as Nan Qiao was about to speak, a car rushed over, and Nan Qiao shouted loudly, “Aunt Liu, get out of the way!”
The car aid for Nan Qiao, but she dodged it.
The vehicle suddenly changed direction, hurtling towards Liu Feng.
“Aunt Liu!” Nan Qiao’s heart skipped a beat, her eyes grew red, and she dashed out quickly.
