Chapter 8: Chapter 8: Shall We Kill Her to Cheer Up Nan Qiao?
The employee had been dragged away, and the scene quieted down, the other employees not daring to say a word.
Chen Xinwan smiled and said to Li Yehan, "Ye Han, you're too polite. Show me the bill for the bag, so I can transfer the money to you."
Nan Qiao also spoke up to refuse, "Mr. Li, you're too kind. I accepted your money, and saving your grandfather had long been a settled matter. I can't accept these bags."
Li Yehan's voice, rich with magnetism, rose beside Nan Qiao, "This is just a small token of my appreciation. Qiaoqiao saved my grandfather, these gifts are nothing. If Qiaoqiao doesn't accept them, grandfather will definitely say that I haven't handled this matter properly."
Later, he would have Secretary Zhao buy even more gifts to send to the Bai Family as his small token of appreciation.
Chen Xinwan was taken aback again, why would Li Yehan say so much to her in one breath?
Was this still the Li Yehan she knew?
Nan Qiao was about to refuse again when Li Yehan said, "Auntie, Qiaoqiao, I have other matters to attend to, I must go now."
Li Yehan walked away swiftly, Secretary Zhao following closely behind, fearing that the task had not been completed.
Watching Li Yehan's hastily retreating figure, Nan Qiao still held the belief that one must not accept rewards without merits.
Nan Qiao said to Chen Xinwan, "Mom, please help me return these gifts to Li Yehan. I cannot accept rewards without merits."
With so many bags, she couldn't carry them all; she still preferred backpacks that could fit her secret weapons.
Chen Xinwan smiled and said, "No worries, consider this a gift from mom. I'll discuss with your dad about giving the money to Li Yehan. We, the Bai Family, won't just accept any gifts we shouldn't, rest assured. Whatever Qiaoqiao wants, mom will buy for you."
The first bag gifted to her daughter, how could she let a stranger do it? It had to be her, the mother!
Chen Xinwan sent the message to Bai Zhenyang to transfer the money to Li Yehan according to the bill.
Seeing this, Nan Qiao finally breathed a sigh of relief.
As for the money, she planned to return it to Chen Xinwan in another way.
…
When Nan Qiao and Chen Xinwan returned home, they were astonished to see the courtyard filled with splendid gifts.
Chen Xinwan said, "It must be your dad who sent these gifts."
Steward said, "Madam, it wasn't sir, it was Mr. Li."
Nan Qiao: …
Nan Qiao, puzzled, said, "Could he have sent them to the wrong person?"
The steward, smiling, said, "Fourth Miss, no mistake, these gifts are all for you. There's even a name on them, Nan Qiao, isn't that you?"
Then, more people came in carrying gifts.
"These are the new autumn clothes Mr. Li sent for Fourth Miss."
"These are the new shoes Mr. Li sent for Fourth Miss."
"These are various accessories Mr. Li sent for Fourth Miss."
The people delivering the gifts said respectfully, "Miss Nan Qiao, please inspect them."
As he spoke, he looked at Nan Qiao.
He had heard before coming that the real lady of the Bai Family looked like a fairy daughter.
Without looking further, she knew that Nan Qiao was that fairy daughter.
Nan Qiao looked at the courtyard full of gifts, wondering what exactly Li Yehan meant??
Her phone rang, and Nan Qiao took out her phone; it was an unfamiliar number.
A man's voice, highly magnetic, came through, "I am Li Yehan."
Nan Qiao then remembered, remembered that Li Yehan had stored her number.
"Why did you give me so many things?"
"It's a thank you gift."
Nan Qiao: ...
"You already gave me a check."
Li Yehan spoke in a low voice, his tone extremely charming, "You know about my grandfather's health condition. I would like to trouble you to become his family doctor. You don't need to come every day, just when needed, would that be okay? These gifts are a small token from our family."
The male's voice was like a feather, stirring the heartstrings.
Nan Qiao looked at the plethora of gifts, enough to open a supermarket.
"Okay." It so happened that she had recently developed a new type of pill and wanted to see if it was suitable for Old Mr. Li.
Nan Qiao hung up the phone, signed her name, and the delivery person left.
Bai Zhenyang came back from outside, followed by his driver, who carried a lot of takeout food.
Seeing the yard full of gifts, Bai Zhenyang was first astonished, then beamed with a smile, "My girl, it seems you and your mom had a big haul shopping today. That's good, you should buy what you like, I work hard to earn money, you and your mother work hard to spend it."
Nan Qiao didn't expect Bai Zhenyang to think she had bought so many things and wasn't upset.
If it were Zhou Hongqi, he wouldn't have been able to do this.
Chen Xinwan explained with a smile, "These things aren't bought by me, they are gifts from Li Yehan to Qiaoqiao."
"What!" Bai Zhenyang's expression was startled.
Nan Qiao explained, "I saved Old Mr. Li, and these are his gifts of gratitude. He hopes I will look after his grandfather more in the future and help heal people."
Bai Zhenyang was astonished once again, "Qiaoqiao, you know medical skills?"
Chen Xinwan's face filled with compassion, "Qiaoqiao, my poor girl, what kind of life did you have at the Zhou family? So young and yet your medical skills are so exceptional, you must have endured much."
Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao's hand, becoming increasingly distressed.
Seeing her biological daughter having suffered so much filled her heart with guilt and pain.
Chen Xinwan said, "My dear daughter, let's return the gifts to the Li Family. We don't need you to earn money at home, just spend money. You don't need to do any of these exhausting things."
Bai Zhenyang felt the same way, saying seriously, "Qiaoqiao, Dad agrees. You might have needed to rely on yourself at the Zhou family, but now that you're home, you don't need to. You have three older brothers, the whole family earns money for you to spend; you don't have to do anything, just be happy."
Nan Qiao felt deeply moved by her parents' love.
Nan Qiao's nose tingled, her pale face softening, "Thank you for your concern, but I'm quite happy as it is. I've come of age, I love medicine, and doing what I love isn't tiring at all."
Relying on heaven and earth isn't as good as relying on oneself.
Nan Qiao's determination made Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan realize how difficult her past life must have been at the Zhou family; they surely mistreated their precious girl!
Thus, Bai Zhenyang sent a text message, and misfortune befell the Zhou family.
Zhou Hongqi was elegantly cutting a steak, a call came through, and he erupted in anger, "How could this happen!"
"President Zhou, we don't know either, who exactly have you offended? They've banded together against you, the company is almost bankrupt!"
Offended who?
Zhou Hongqi didn't even know who he had offended!
"President Zhou, you need to think of a solution fast..." he was just a secretary, he wanted to keep his job!
Zhou Hongqi angrily hung up the phone, fury engulfing him, at that moment he was like a string of firecrackers, ready to explode any second.
Zhou Jingya was too afraid to breathe heavily, she panicked, she feared, she worried she might be sent back to the orphanage.
Zhou Jingya quickly thought and said, "Dad, could it be that my sister wants to harm you?"
