Chapter 483: Chapter 483: Accusations from the Whole Family
Nan Qiao and Bai Jingrui left, and they ran into Li Yehan.
Li Yehan hurried over once he learned Nan Qiao was here, finishing his work quickly.
“What are you here for? My sister is going back with me.”
Li Yehan walked over to Nan Qiao’s side: “I came to take Qiaoqiao to dinner.”
Bai Jingrui originally planned to take Qiaoqiao home for dinner, but glanced at his watch and realized it was getting late.
Bai Jingrui blamed himself, but couldn’t let his sister go hungry.
“Sister, you go eat with Li Yehan. Remember to come home early.”
“Okay, Third Brother, you go back early too.”
Nan Qiao had something to do, parted ways with Bai Jingrui, and left with Li Yehan.
Bai Jingrui watched as Nan Qiao left with Li Yehan, turned around, and left again as he also had things to do.
…
Li Yehan took Nan Qiao for hotpot, perfect for a winter meal.
Nan Qiao just reached the entrance but felt unwell and stepped outside.
“Qiaoqiao, what’s uncomfortable? I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Nan Qiao waved her hand: “I drank iced coffee today, and my stomach feels upset.”
Li Yehan helped rub her back gently: “It’s so cold, how could you drink iced coffee? You can’t enjoy good food with an upset stomach.”
“I’m fine.”
“Qiaoqiao, let’s skip hotpot and go for porridge instead. Your stomach’s uncomfortable, eating stimulating stuff will make it worse.”
Li Yehan pulled Nan Qiao to get porridge, ignoring her refusals.
…
Bai Jingrui got home and explained today’s events to the family.
He was worried the family might take Nan Qiao to unfamiliar gatherings, causing similar incidents.
As Bai Jingrui finished, the family fell silent, each wearing grim expressions.
Bai Jingting’s piercing eyes landed on Bai Jingrui: “Is this how you protect your sister?”
Bai Jingyan: “Lao San, it’s one thing for you to get into trouble, but how could you let your sister get hurt? Do you even deserve to be her third brother?”
Bai Jingrui scratched his head, enduring the scolding because he recognized his mistake.
“I didn’t know Qiu Xue and Luo Zhen would do something like this. They always seemed understanding and innocent, who knew they’d pull this stunt!”
Chen Xinwan: “So, you’re trying to shirk responsibility?”
Bai Zhenyang: “You make a mistake and still have the nerve to dodge responsibility?”
Bai Jingrui: “…”
“I was wrong, truly wrong, I’ll deeply reflect and ensure I won’t make such a stupid mistake again!”
Bai Zhenyang said: “Why did they want to hurt Qiaoqiao? Lao San, did you investigate the reason?”
Bai Jingrui replied awkwardly: “I did. Qiu Xue likes me and thinks I’m too good to Qiaoqiao, wanting to teach her a lesson.”
Chen Xinwan: “Does Qiu Xue have any brains? Is her head empty to do something like that, utterly shameless.”
Chen Xinwan was extremely angry and felt the need to teach a lesson to those who hurt her precious Qiaoqiao.
With a glance from Chen Xinwan, Bai Jingting understood instantly what she meant.
Bai Zhenyang, displeased, said: “Qiaoqiao feels wronged and got hurt, Bai Jingrui, how could you just let her go off with Li Yehan? Why didn’t you bring her back for a check-up?”
Bai Jingrui: “…”
“Mom and Dad, Li Yehan sent me a message saying my sister’s arm is alright.”
Bai Zhenyang: “So, as Qiaoqiao’s third brother, you just handed her over to Li Yehan, is that it?”
Bai Jingrui felt utterly judged, deeply uncomfortable inside.
“It wasn’t deliberate letting my sister go with Li Yehan. I have no face to stay around her. I am guilty.”
Everyone: “…”
Bai Jingting spoke up: “So, you know you’re guilty.”
Bai Jingting got up to investigate who dared bully his sister.
Bai Jingrui stood up too and said: “I’ll go make a call.”
Bai Jingrui left as well.
…
Luo Zhen and Qiu Xue were eating together.
Qiu Xue was agitated: “Luo Zhen, it’s all your fault! What lousy idea did you give me?”
“Xiao Xue, I just wanted to help you win Bai Jingrui’s care. Who knew he’d spoil a sister found months ago like this, as if enchanted.”
“What now? Bai Jingrui has already labeled me a villain. My image with him is tarnished. How am I supposed to be with him now? Luo Zhen, you doomed me! Did a donkey kick your brain to commit such a stupid act?”
Luo Zhen: “…”
She was speechless too!
Luo Zhen smiled encouragingly: “Xiao Xue, I didn’t mean to mess things up. How about we go apologize in person tomorrow?”
“You want me to apologize personally? Aren’t I entitled to some dignity?”
“Well, do you want to see Bai Jingrui or not?”
Qiu Xue sighed helplessly and eventually agreed.
Luo Zhen consoled Qiu Xue, watched her leave, then left herself.
Walking forward, Luo Zhen took out her phone and made a call.
“I’ve convinced Qiu Xue. We’ll go together tomorrow.”
…
Nan Qiao came home and was restless, unable to sleep.
Ate too much tonight, feeling nauseous.
Nan Qiao went to the bathroom and vomited.
Back in bed, Nan Qiao exhaled deeply.
Turning, her phone rang.
Nan Qiao answered, hearing from her master Tang Helin.
“Qiaoqiao, I’m coming to pick up Nan Shan tomorrow and take him away.”
“Master, you’re already in Jing City?” Nan Qiao asked excitedly.
“Just arrived, resting at the hotel. Remember to treat your master to a meal tomorrow.” Tang Helin laughed.
“Master visiting Jing City means I must welcome and entertain you. Master, please rest, I’ll come get you for breakfast tomorrow.”
“Qiaoqiao, get some sleep early.”
Nan Qiao hung up, feeling a bit excited.
Nan Qiao sent Hou Ze a message, telling him to wake Nan Shan early for breakfast tomorrow.
Hou Ze hadn’t slept yet, saw the message, and sat up immediately.
“Boss, you can’t be sending Nan Shan away, right? Don’t let him leave, I’ll take care of him.”
“My master is here. Join us for breakfast tomorrow, and discuss it with my master.”
“Alright, boss, send me the restaurant location, I’ll bring Nan Shan over tomorrow.”
“Okay.”
Nan Qiao hung up and sent the address to Hou Ze.
Hou Ze received the message, rushed to find Nan Shan next door.
Nan Shan wasn’t asleep, staring at the ceiling.
Hearing the door open, Nan Shan jumped up, subdued the entering Hou Ze.
Hou Ze was grabbed by the arm, pressed against the wall, his face meeting the wall intimately.
Hou Ze: “…”
“Big brother, I’m not an intruder.”
Recognizing the voice, Nan Shan released Hou Ze’s arm.
The light switched on, Hou Ze rubbed his arm and sat on the sofa.
“Why come find me in the middle of the night?” Nan Shan stared at Hou Ze.
“Nan Shan, here’s the deal. Your master’s master has arrived, wanting to take you back to the sect, do you want to go back?”
