Chapter 465: Chapter 465 Mutual Disdain
Nan Qiao approached, just about to speak, when the other person turned around, and the two locked eyes.
Nan Qiao looked surprised at Lu Wang standing next to the car.
“After parking, I noticed this car looked a lot like yours, so I came to see if anyone was inside, planning to invite you to dinner.”
Nan Qiao was a bit taken aback, not expecting to meet Lu Wang here.
Lu Wang continued, “Nan Qiao, can I invite you to dinner? I’d like to talk to you about my mother’s health situation.”
Nan Qiao said, “Sure.”
Nan Qiao also wanted to know how Liu Yun’s health situation was.
…
The two went to a nearby restaurant and sat at a window seat.
“My mom took the medication you gave for two days, and her sleep quality has improved significantly. She’s no longer experiencing chest tightness and shortness of breath, and with better sleep, she’s more energetic.”
“Continue taking those meds, and after a week, stop for three days. Then let me know how she’s doing.”
“Nan Qiao, thank you.”
“You’re welcome. I took your money, so this is what I should do.”
Lu Wang cut the steak and placed it in front of Nan Qiao, then took her untouched plate and continued cutting.
Nan Qiao was startled, not expecting Lu Wang to behave like this.
Lu Wang bowed his head to cut the steak, and Nan Qiao wanted to speak but opened her mouth and didn’t know what to say.
At this moment, outside the window, a camera in the bushes kept taking photos.
After taking the photos, they were sent out.
Meanwhile, Li Yehan, busy with work, received an anonymous email.
Li Yehan opened it, and inside were photos of Nan Qiao and Lu Wang dining together, talking and laughing.
Lu Wang cutting a steak for Nan Qiao, who didn’t refuse; they looked like a couple in love.
Li Yehan gripped his pen as anger slowly rose.
Li Yehan picked up the phone and called Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao answered quickly, her voice melodious and gentle as always.
“Li Yehan, you haven’t slept yet. Work is important, but so is your health.”
“Qiaoqiao, what are you doing? It’s lunchtime in the country, are you eating with anyone?”
“No, I’m eating alone. After eating, I have to return to the company.”
Nan Qiao’s response made Li Yehan’s heart ache; he hadn’t expected Nan Qiao to deceive him.
What exactly was going on with having dinner with Lu Wang; why did she hide it from him?
Li Yehan didn’t expose her lie, said two sentences, and hung up the phone.
At this moment, Nan Qiao returned to her seat and continued dining with Lu Wang.
Lu Wang said, “Do you want dessert? I heard this place makes excellent cheesecake.”
Nan Qiao wanted some dessert but didn’t agree.
“I have something else to handle; I’ll leave first.”
“I’ll walk you out.” Lu Wang stood up.
“No need, my car is outside; I’ll drive over.” Nan Qiao smiled, stood with her bag.
Lu Wang watched Nan Qiao’s back as she left, still wondering if Nan Qiao didn’t want to dine with him.
Lu Wang called the waiter over for the bill but was told Nan Qiao had already paid.
Lu Wang was slightly startled; it was the first time a girl had treated him to a meal.
This feeling was very intriguing.
…
Nan Qiao arrived at the company.
Fu Qingyan quickly walked to her side, holding two design drawings, and said cheerfully, “Mr. Qiao, I just finished these. Director Rong is out discussing business and isn’t in the office; could you help me review these designs?”
“Sure, come to my office.”
Nan Qiao walked into her office, and Fu Qingyan happily followed behind.
Nan Qiao just sat down when Fu Qingyan handed over the design drawings.
“Mr. Qiao, please help me.”
“No problem; this is what I should do.”
Nan Qiao examined the designs, praised, “The drawings are quite good. However, in this part, changing the round neck to a V-neck would look better.”
“Okay, I’ll modify that later.”
Fu Qingyan took out her phone to note down the issue.
Nan Qiao returned the design drawings to Fu Qingyan, “The drawings are all good; no other changes are needed.”
Fu Qingyan took back the drawings, her smile never fading.
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but ask, “You’re very capable. You shouldn’t be at such a small company. Have you considered moving to a bigger corporation?”
“Mr. Qiao, I don’t have much ambition. I’m afraid I couldn’t handle the workload at larger companies, and I’m also wary of high work intensity. Your company has the most harmonious atmosphere among the ones I interviewed; I really like it.”
Nan Qiao smiled but didn’t speak, and Fu Qingyan continued, “Mr. Qiao, have I done something wrong? If something’s not right, please tell me; I’ll definitely change.”
“You’re doing very well; there’s nothing that needs changing. Keep it up; I have high hopes for you.”
Fu Qingyan smiled happily, holding the design drawings and leaving to work.
In a little while, Secretary Fu walked in.
Secretary Fu sat down, and Nan Qiao asked, “Is everything alright with the company?”
“Everything’s good. Rong Yan’s designs are well-received. Everyone else is working hard together, so there are no problems.”
“How about Fu Qingyan? How has she performed since joining the company?”
Secretary Fu replied, “She’s doing quite well. Fu Qingyan interacts harmoniously with everyone in the company and also has a good relationship with Rong Yan.”
Nan Qiao seemed thoughtful, understood some things, and then left the company.
…
Li Xia was rescued and sent to a villa in the suburbs to recover.
Li Xia was shocked to learn Li Tianhong knew the reality and had imprisoned Jiang Linyu at home.
“How did this happen? Could it be that Li Tianhong knows our secret too?”
Li Ye said disdainfully, “Do you have no brain? If he knew our identity, would he let us stay?”
Li Xia discontentedly glared at Li Ye, “How rude of you to speak to me like that!”
“Li Xia, you should be grateful I rescued you, and yet you dare despise me? Without me, you’d know what it’s like to lie on such a comfortable bed?”
Li Xia: “…”
Li Ye’s insolence was as smooth as ever, especially his arrogant and unruly attitude, making him very punchable!
“Li Ye, you’re as punchable as ever! I know you saved me, but haven’t I saved you before? We’re partners now; stop speaking to me with that attitude!”
The two didn’t see eye to eye and disliked each other.
After a while, Li Xia spoke up.
“I can do little while lying in bed. Li Ye, how do you plan to retaliate? Even if not for me, shouldn’t you get revenge for Mom and our plan?”
Li Ye lit a cigarette, melancholy overtaking his face as he hid behind white smoke, making him appear even more silent.
“Li Xia, you shouldn’t worry about this. Focus on recovering and returning to school. At this rate, none of us will survive.”
Li Xia looked panicked but quickly regained her composure.
“I understand.”
