From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 354: Nan Qiao, You’re Dead Meat!
Chapter 354: Chapter 354: Nan Qiao, You’re Dead Meat!
Li Xia said to Jiang Linyu, "Mom, look, Nan Qiao was deliberately deceiving us. We can’t let her get away with this easily!"
Jiang Linyu was also very angry because of Nan Qiao’s actions; she thought she would be able to stand up today, but hadn’t expected Nan Qiao to lack even the ability to treat her.
Jiang Linyu shouted angrily, "Call the bodyguard over!"
Li Xia glared at Nan Qiao viciously, "Nan Qiao, you are dead meat!"
Since Li Yehan wasn’t there, they could easily kill Nan Qiao and then stage it as an accident—the accidental death of Nan Qiao!
Meanwhile, Hou Ze and Li Ye arrived.
Seeing the situation, Hou Ze ran quickly to Nan Qiao’s side.
Li Ye asked, "What’s going on?"
Li Xia said mockingly, "Li Ye, I told you that you can’t trust Nan Qiao, but you wouldn’t listen. She said it herself, she doesn’t have a way to treat. Since that’s the case, why would you agree to let her come to our house?"
Nan Qiao spread her hands, "I promised Li Ye that I would come over and take a look. I didn’t say I could cure your mother’s legs!"
Nan Qiao had already thought it through before coming; she wasn’t going to make Jiang Linyu stand up, as she had other intentions for coming here.
Li Ye didn’t panic and treated Nan Qiao with the same calm and polite attitude as before, "What is the matter?"
Nan Qiao said, "Didn’t I just say it? I came to check on Ms. Jiang’s condition, and I didn’t guarantee that I would cure her legs. Grandpa Li was there too – he heard it. If you don’t believe it, you can ask Grandpa Li."
"Don’t listen to her sophistry; whatever she says, it’s still Nan Qiao’s fault!" Right now, Li Xia just wanted to kill Nan Qiao.
"Are you brainless? Can’t you listen to what we have to say for once?" Hou Ze looked at Li Xia, taunting her incompetence.
Zheng Qinnian said, "You aren’t clear about what Mr. Li said? How about having Qiaoqiao call Mr. Li and then you can all hear for yourselves right here?"
Li Xia: "You’re just trying to stall for time, I won’t be fooled!"
Nan Qiao took out her phone, "I can call Grandpa Li right now, and we’ll see who’s right and who’s wrong based on what he says."
It was then Li Ye remembered the situation of that day; indeed, Nan Qiao never told him she could resolve these issues with her medical expertise.
Just as Nan Qiao was about to speak, a familiar voice sounded from behind her.
"What are you all doing? Are you bullying my granddaughter-in-law?"
Nan Qiao turned around, only to be taken aback by Grandpa Li’s appearance.
Why had Grandpa Li come here?
Grandpa Li glared at Li Xia. The once imposing Li Xia suddenly appeared weak and helpless.
Jiang Linyu’s expression changed in an instant, revealing a gentle smile which also carried a trace of respect: "Dad, this is all a misunderstanding; we weren’t bullying Qiaoqiao."
"A misunderstanding? What I witnessed with my own eyes, how can that be called a misunderstanding? Li Xia, tell me, what exactly happened? I saw you glaring at Qiaoqiao ferociously, so is it my eyesight that’s failing now?"
Grandpa Li stood beside Nan Qiao, assuring her safety and demanding an explanation from others.
Hou Ze said promptly, "Elder, just now Li Xia even wanted to hit us."
Li Xia’s arrogant air immediately died down; she began to explain sweetly, "Grandpa, it really is a misunderstanding. This is what happened, you listen to me. It was Nan Qiao who promised Xiao Ye to come and look at my mother’s leg. But after she arrived, she then told us she could not cure my mother’s leg. Grandpa, isn’t Nan Qiao playing us for fools?"
"From what you are saying, Qiaoqiao also didn’t claim she could definitely cure Jiang Linyu’s leg. Li Xia, is it your ears that have a problem, or is there an issue with Li Ye’s mouth?"
With a single sentence, Grandpa Li addressed both Li Xia and Li Ye.
Li Ye could no longer pretend to be innocent and had to stand up to speak for himself.
"Grandpa, I never said such things to my sister, I don’t know why she came up with such a conclusion."
Li Xia: ??
Li Ye was actually throwing her under the bus!
Jiang Linyu also took the opportunity to say, "Xiaxia, did you not hear Xiao Ye clearly? Look at you, child, causing such a big misunderstanding; how embarrassing."
Li Xia: ??
Why is everyone setting me up? freeweɓnovel.cøm
In an instant, Li Xia realized that Jiang Linyu was dragging her down to protect Li Ye and herself!
Li Xia was angry yet dared not speak out, she could only swallow this silent loss.
"Grandpa, I..."
"I would have never thought you were this kind of person. Jiang Ningzhu, I am truly disappointed in you! You bullied Qiaoqiao without knowing the full story. Fortunately, Qiaoqiao is kind-hearted and didn’t want to blow things out of proportion. This is something you really need to learn from Qiaoqiao."
Li Xia was choked with rage, cursing inwardly: Damn old man, you’re doing this on purpose!
Li Xia’s heart was ablaze, but her expression was as cold as ice.
"Grandpa, it’s all my fault, I didn’t listen carefully." Li Xia suppressed her emotions and feigned a pitiful tone.
"Then aren’t you going to apologize to Qiaoqiao?" Grandpa Li demanded.
Li Xia’s eyes glanced at Jiang Linyu, who offered no response.
Li Xia took a deep breath and showed an awkward smile: "Nan Qiao, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, all my mistakes."
With someone to back her up, Nan Qiao revealed a satisfied smile: "This time I’ll forgive you, but there won’t be a next time, I won’t let your behavior slide so easily."
Grandpa Li kindly said: "Qiaoqiao, you are just too kind-hearted."
Nan Qiao’s beaming smile was met with silence, but it enraged Li Xia to no end.
She had seen enough, Nan Qiao was just too good at playing innocent!
Li Ye stepped forward and said: "I’m also responsible for this incident, I’m sorry, Nan Qiao."
Nan Qiao actually started to see Li Ye in a new light; a man who could bend or stand tall was meant for great things.
"In consideration of Grandpa’s presence, I won’t hold it against you all this time."
Nan Qiao then said to Grandpa Li: "Grandpa Li, let’s go back now."
Grandpa Li glanced at Jiang Linyu with a warning look, but then smilingly said to Nan Qiao: "Qiaoqiao, I’ll take you away to avoid those with ulterior motives taking a harsh hand on you."
"Thank you, Grandpa Li." Nan Qiao said obediently.
Nan Qiao left with Grandpa Li.
...
After they left, Jiang Linyu, Li Ye, and Li Xia felt more disgusted than if they had swallowed a fly.
Jiang Linyu’s complexion looked awful, she hadn’t expected Grandpa Li to come over and take Nan Qiao away.
"Xiao Ye, look at what you’ve done!" Jiang Linyu was furious.
Li Ye replied in a deep voice: "Sorry, I oversimplified things and got played by Nan Qiao."
"Are you not even as smart as Nan Qiao? It’s obvious she was just playing us!"
Li Xia also angrily rebuked: "Li Ye, it’s all your fault! If it wasn’t for you agreeing to let her come, would we have been made fools of like this? Now that Grandpa’s here, he surely won’t trust us anymore!"
Li Ye scoffed: "As if he ever trusted us before."
Jiang Linyu: "Enough! Both of you shut up! Think about what to do next!"
Li Xia and Li Ye stopped talking.
Jiang Linyu asked anxiously: "Xiao Ye, when Nan Qiao’s man went out with you earlier, what did he see?"
"He just looked around the yard, then went to the garden. He didn’t go inside."
Jiang Linyu breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he didn’t come inside, their secrets would remain hidden.
