Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Roll It Up! Chapter 226: Chapter 226 Roll It Up! Nan Qiao watched Bai Yurou, her face radiant with a beaming smile and exuding confidence, and really wanted to know what she had accomplished. Bai Yurou took out a stack of documents from her bag, said excitedly, “Eldest Brother, I did as you said, organized the files by category, and labeled them by date to make it easier for you to review.” Nan Qiao: “...” She had thought Bai Yurou had resolved some difficult issue, but this was it? Just this? Nan Qiao remained poker-faced and continued to eat. The food was really good! Bai Jingting put down his chopsticks, took the materials to look through them, and nodded in approval, “Yurou, how long did you take to organize these?” Bai Yurou answered obediently, “Three hours.” Bai Jingting: “...” Bai Jingting never showed his emotions on his face. When he heard Bai Yurou say “three hours,” Nan Qiao caught a fleeting emotion that passed by. Bai Yurou’s speed at doing things was really slow. Too slow. Nan Qiao smiled without saying a word. Bai Yurou cautiously said, “Eldest Brother, I’m too slow at doing things, I’m sorry. I will continue to work hard to handle the tasks you assign me faster.” “Yurou, have you had dinner? If not, let’s eat together, there’s no rush with the work. Besides, Secretary Jin and the others are busy with it.” Bai Yurou: “Eldest Brother, I haven’t eaten yet, so I’ll join you and sister for dinner.” For the sake of work, she hadn’t even had a warm meal yet. Bai Yurou called out to the kitchen, “Aunt Liu, please make me a bowl of dumplings too.” Aunt Liu: “Alright, Fourth Miss.” In a short while, Aunt Liu brought out a plate of dumplings. Bai Yurou looked at the dumplings, frowning, “Why are the dumplings not very full? They seem to have very little filling. Aunt Liu, are you trying to fool me?” Aunt Liu hurriedly explained, sounding helpless, “Fourth Miss, you didn’t say ahead of time that you’d be coming back. When you mentioned wanting dumplings, I immediately started making them, but there wasn’t much filling left. It’s already quite an achievement to have made them this way.” Aunt Liu: Eat, eat, eat; eat, my foot! She had made the dumplings for Nan Qiao, not specifically for Bai Yurou. She certainly didn’t want Bai Yurou to waste her hard work! Inside, Aunt Liu was seething, but in reality, she humbly bowed her head, her demeanor careful as if she feared Bai Yurou would punish her. In front of Bai Jingting, Bai Yurou remained the naive and kind-hearted little sister. She reverted from her previous irritableness, speaking in a softened tone, “If that’s the case, then I’ll just eat them. I don’t eat much, these dumplings will be enough for me.” Bai Jingting offered the untouched plate of dumplings in front of him to her, “Yurou, eat this plate. I’m full, and I haven’t touched these. You eat them.” Bai Yurou shook her head in refusal, “Eldest Brother, you work so hard, you definitely need to eat well. You eat, these will be enough for me.” Seeing this, Nan Qiao didn’t give Bai Yurou the chance to continue her performance. “Aunt Liu made too much, and we haven’t touched this much. Yurou, if you’re hungry, eat some first.” Nan Qiao stood up, speaking directly, “Eldest Brother, I’m full, a bit tired, I’ll go upstairs to rest.” “Qiaoqiao, have you eaten enough? Eat some more, it’s uncomfortable to sleep on an empty stomach at night.” “Eldest Brother, I’ve eaten a lot, I can’t eat anymore. You guys eat, I’m going upstairs.” “Alright, sister, rest early.” Nan Qiao smiled, nodded, and walked upstairs. She didn’t take the elevator; instead, she walked up the stairs. Having eaten dinner, she treated it as a stroll. Bai Yurou watched Nan Qiao’s retreating back, overwhelmed with emotions that conveyed disdain. Nan Qiao sure knew how to play the part! She wouldn’t want to eat Nan Qiao’s leftovers! Even though everything was clean and everyone used serving chopsticks, she still didn’t want to eat! As Bai Yurou’s inner emotions were firmly held, she heard Bai Jingting’s voice, “Yurou, hurry up and eat, aren’t you hungry?” The resolute Bai Yurou, at this moment, put on a smiling face and obediently sat down to eat. “Yurou, eat slowly, I’m going upstairs.” Bai Yurou nodded obediently, “Eldest brother, you’ve worked hard, remember to rest.” After sending Bai Jingting off, Bai Yurou looked at the table full of dishes with a furrowed brow. Bai Yurou called out, “Aunt Liu, come here.” Liu Feng came over, “Fourth Miss, what do you need?” “Make me some buns, I don’t want to eat these.” Liu Feng looked troubled, “Fourth Miss, it’s not that I don’t want to cook for you, it’s just that Eldest Young Master has asked me to prepare some supper for Eldest Miss. Should I go ask Eldest Young Master’s opinion?” Bai Yurou, “...” Bai Jingting had actually instructed Liu Feng to cook for Nan Qiao, why! Bai Yurou teared up as she finished the leftovers, she had no choice, Liu Feng’s cooking was too tempting, she couldn’t help herself. ... After returning to her room, soon a young maid named Xiao Lin entered. Xiao Lin came in with a tray of pastries and a fruit platter. “Fourth Miss, please have some, you surely didn’t have enough to eat tonight. How could Eldest Young Master let you eat leftovers? Even if you used serving chopsticks, it’s still eating leftovers.” The more Xiao Lin spoke, the angrier Bai Yurou became. She frowned and angrily said, “I didn’t expect Eldest Brother to do this, he usually dotes on me a lot. When it comes to Nan Qiao, it really pains his heart. How could he show so much love for a sister he’s never met before?” Xiao Lin, “Eldest Miss must have been sweet-talking Eldest Young Master on the side, otherwise how could such a cold and domineering man be so gentle to Eldest Miss?” Bai Yurou pondered, picked up a piece of pastry, took a small bite, touched her stomach, and reluctantly put it down. Nan Qiao was so thin, she had to be thinner than Nan Qiao! Roll it up, roll it up! “Xiao Lin, you are quite clever, analyzing everything so correctly. I’m also very curious how Nan Qiao was able to bewitch Eldest Brother like that. I’m so angry, I’m clearly Eldest Brother’s precious little sister. Eldest Brother is so good to me, Nan Qiao comes back and takes away my affection, I can’t stand it.” Xiao Lin consoled Bai Yurou with flattery, “Fourth Miss, Eldest Young Master is just too kind. Perhaps he thought, after all, Eldest Miss is his sister and he is the family’s eldest son, so he has to set an example. In fact, Eldest Young Master dotes on you the most. He always brings you gifts when he returns, and even let you work as a secretary in his company, Eldest Miss doesn’t have such treatment.” Upon hearing this, Bai Yurou’s mood improved greatly. Bai Yurou took out a gold ring and handed it to Xiao Lin, “Xiao Lin, this is for you.” Xiao Lin was overjoyed but still feigned refusal, “Fourth Miss, I can’t accept a reward without merit.” Bai Yurou stuffed the gold ring into her pocket, “If it’s for you, just take it. It’s just a trinket, it’s not worth much.” It was the least valuable thing in her jewelry collection. Xiao Lin took it as a treasure, “Thank you, Fourth Miss, you are the real lady of the Bai Family, Nan Qiao doesn’t compare to you.” Bai Yurou grinned, “I told you to keep an eye on Aunt Liu’s every move at home, how have you been doing that? Have you found anything amiss?”
