Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Serve Her Comfortably Chapter 172: Chapter 172: Serve Her Comfortably The receptionist blocked her way, and Liu Yanfang frowned unhappily, “Tell Nan Qiao her foster mother has come with something important to give her.” The receptionist quickly called Fu Xingyao and, with permission, Liu Yanfang entered Nan Qiao’s office. When the two met, Nan Qiao was no longer the person she used to be. Wearing custom suits, with delicate makeup on, and a valuable necklace around her neck. Nan Qiao looked indifferent and cold, “Ms. Liu, what important thing do you want to return to me?” Liu Yanfang took something out of her bag and placed it in front of Nan Qiao. On the table was a peace pendant, Nan Qiao saw this object, and her eyes were indifferent. As if it wasn’t her belonging. Liu Yanfang was unsure but still opened her mouth, harboring the thought that she could handle Nan Qiao. Liu Yanfang’s tone when speaking to Nan Qiao was arrogant and disdainful, just as always, looking down on Nan Qiao, disliking her. “Nan Qiao, you must be familiar with this. I saw you wear it all the time. The peace pendant should be very important to you, right?” Nan Qiao snorted with a slight laugh, “It’s not important now. If you like it, take it away.” Liu Yanfang stood dazed, incredulous. “A thing that’s not important? I saw you wearing it every day, how did it become unimportant?” “Because it’s something you threw away, now it’s back to its original owner,” Nan Qiao spoke coldly. Liu Yanfang couldn’t remember when this was from, was it really hers? Nan Qiao saw her clueless face and said, “It seems you have forgotten. Mr. Zhou was sick, and you sought out a peace pendant. Because of some small argument, you threw it away, and I picked it up. I always wore it because I pretended the peace pendant was a gift from you. Since it is yours, take it back.” Nan Qiao coldly said, “If there’s nothing else, Ms. Liu, you should go back. I’m quite busy, I don’t have time to chat with you.” Liu Yanfang’s mind recalled these events, feeling quite bad. Thinking of a hundred million, Liu Yanfang spoke up, “Nan Qiao, I helped raise you after all, and Xiao Ya just went astray for a moment. Don’t make her pay that hundred million. She’s so young, she doesn’t understand these things.” Nan Qiao leaned against the chair back, watching her cautiously, “A child not properly taken care of from young, do you want her to end up monitored by the state after growing up?” “Nan Qiao, you’re being too much!” “Am I too much? Or is it you all who are being too much? If I’m the one who made a mistake today, would you all debase yourselves to negotiate without paying money because of me? You raised me? I’ve paid back that money! Without my behind-the-scenes planning, could your family company have achieved what it has? Too bad, the company is being ruined bit by bit by you!” Nan Qiao stood up, her eyes clear and tone decisive, “Ms. Liu, if you’re here for that one hundred million in compensation, I advise you to go back. I’m set on that one hundred million! Otherwise, I’ll sue Zhou Jingya!” Angry, Liu Yanfang slammed the table and stood up, cursing, “Nan Qiao, you’re going too far!” “I’m going too far? Fine, you can think I’m too much, Ms. Liu. Are we done? If so, please leave!” Nan Qiao picked up the phone, “Secretary Fu, send the security guard over from the door to escort Ms. Liu out.” Realizing she couldn’t reason with her, Liu Yanfang could only leave angrily. Fuming, Liu Yanfang reached the door and was called by Fu Xingyao. “Ms. Liu, isn’t this something you left behind? Mr. Qiao asked me to hand it to you, returning to its rightful owner.” Seeing the peace pendant, Liu Yanfang furiously grabbed it and threw it into the trash can. Fu Xingyao watched Liu Yanfang’s departing figure, shaking his head helplessly. “Unaware of the blessings one has, pushing them away. So foolish!” ... Liu Yanfang returned home to find Zhou Jingya eating lunch, carefree as if nothing had happened. Liu Yanfang’s angry expression quickly spoiled Zhou Jingya’s appetite. “Mom, what did Nan Qiao say?” “What else could she say? That wretched girl won’t agree to settle. She insists on you paying one hundred million in compensation! She even said if you don’t pay, she’ll sue you.” Dropping her chopsticks, Zhou Jingya lost any desire to eat and quickly came to sit next to Liu Yanfang, anxious beyond measure. Zhou Jingya added in panic, “Mom, she can’t possibly want to embarrass you and dad in front of everyone. How can Nan Qiao be like that? After all, you’re her elders. Can’t she even give you this bit of face? Too selfish!” Liu Yanfang’s face twisted with malice, “I didn’t expect her to disagree, this dead girl, she actually wants others to laugh at the Zhou family.” “Mom, you need to think of a solution quickly.” “I’m also thinking. Call your dad back, and we’ll figure something out. Xiao Ya, I won’t let anyone laugh at you!” Zhou Jingya’s mood finally improved somewhat, squeezing out a faint smile. ... Nan Qiao was at work when she received a call from Liu Feng. “Miss, I saw Bai Yurou in a hurry to leave, looking like she’s encountered some unresolved issue. Her face looked terrible. I’m following her in a car now, do you want to come and see?” “Send me the address; I’ll come right away.” Liu Feng sent the message, and wherever Bai Yurou’s car went, she directed Nan Qiao. Half an hour later, with car keys in hand, Nan Qiao met Liu Feng. Liu Feng said, “Miss, I’m not sure if it’s anything serious. Let me go check it out first, and you can follow up if there’s news.” Nan Qiao shook her head, “Aunt Liu, I’ll go up. You wait here. I’m more skilled and can retreat on time.” Aunt Liu had no choice but to nod. Nan Qiao put on a hat and a wig and walked into the hotel. With such a disguise, she wouldn’t be recognized. ... Bai Yurou sat in a hotel room accompanied by five strong men. “Miss, what kind of person needs us to take action?” one of the men asked. Bai Yurou sneered with satisfaction, “I’ve heard she’s quite capable. I’ve barely lured her here, so take good care of her when she arrives. Do well, and I’ll pay extra.” “Okay, no matter what kind of lady we have, we can take good care of them. Make her comfortable. Miss, we assure you, your money won’t go to waste.” Bai Yurou smiled triumphantly, wondering if Li Yehan would still want Nan Qiao after she had lured her here and these men had ruined her. To lure Nan Qiao over, she had put on an act in front of Liu Feng. Bai Yurou stood up: “I’ll go check. In case she hasn’t arrived yet, I can guide her here.” “Okay, Miss, we’ll wait right here,” the men laughed wickedly. Bai Yurou walked out with a victorious smile on her face. Soon after, the door opened, and the five men laughed sinisterly, waiting for their prey to take the bait.
