Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Mysterious Gift in the Box Chapter 57: Chapter 57: The Mysterious Gift in the Box Liu Yanfang glared angrily at Nan Qiao, who was behind Li Yehan, as Zhou Jingya stepped forward to help her up. Liu Yanfang, grinding her back teeth, said, “Nan Qiao, you’ve ruined Xiao Ya’s celebration banquet, you’ve made a fool out of our family, and you still have the face to hide behind a man?” “How about that? Jealous because you don’t have a man to hide behind, envious of our Qiaoqiao?” Li Yehan asked coldly. While Liu Yanfang scolded Nan Qiao, Zhou Jingya’s gaze fell on Li Yehan. The perfect face, the tall figure, thin lips pursed, a piercing gaze, he exuded an aura of nobility from head to toe. He was the handsomest man Zhou Jingya had ever seen by Nan Qiao’s side. Her expression at the moment said: She was afraid her sister would do well and also afraid her sister would drive a Land Rover. “Sister, in just a few days, you’ve changed boyfriends again?” The emphasis on “again” was perfect; she wanted to let the man in front of her know that Nan Qiao was a fickle woman, flitting from one man to the next. Nan Qiao knew exactly what Zhou Jingya was like, but she didn’t mind; after all, Li Yehan wasn’t an ordinary man—he knew Nan Qiao was a good girl. Seeing that Li Yehan was unmoved, Zhou Jingya added fuel to the fire and said, “Sister, your private life is really indecent.” Li Yehan scoffed lightly, “And who are you to judge Qiaoqiao?” Nan Qiao stepped out from behind Li Yehan, her almond eyes widened: “Liu Yanfang, Zhou Jingya scored 250, what does that have to do with me? If the principal called your house, it wasn’t me who asked him to do that, why blame me?” Liu Yanfang retorted, “Who asked you to leave your number at our house!” Nan Qiao gave a self-deprecating laugh, “Had I known, would I have left my number at all?” During the college entrance exam, Nan Qiao had worked very hard, only wanting to show her family her excellence, thinking this would make Zhou Hongqi and Liu Yanfang pay her some attention. Li Yehan frowned, his face darkening as he coldly said, “Blaming Qiaoqiao because you have no ability?” Liu Yanfang & Zhou Jingya: ... Was this puppy too protective of Nan Qiao? How could Nan Qiao deserve this? Li Yehan couldn’t be bothered with these people and continued, “Our family’s Qiaoqiao is indeed highly capable and intelligent. What, you don’t agree? Try becoming the top scholar yourself if you’re so displeased.” Nan Qiao’s lips curled into a faint smile; Li Yehan really knew how to talk back. Nan Qiao pushed Li Yehan’s arm and said, “Let’s go, the driver is waiting.” Li Yehan took Nan Qiao’s hand and together they climbed into the Huolala truck. As Li Yehan’s car drove away, he learned that Nan Qiao planned to go back with the Huolala and immediately told the driver to leave. How could he let Qiaoqiao go back alone in a Huolala truck—it was too dangerous! Zhou Jingya and Liu Yanfang watched dumbfounded as the two climbed into the Huolala. Zhou Jingya said with disdain, “Mom, I thought Sister had found a rich man and was living a wealthy life. It turns out they don’t even have a car and have to ride in a Huolala?” Liu Yanfang said, “With the way she looks, would a wealthy man want her? At most, it’s good for a fling! With her looks, she can only support a useless young man!” The young man referred to Li Yehan. Zhou Jingya’s gaze seemed to drift away in the direction Li Yehan had left. Speaking to Zhou Jingya, Liu Yanfang received no response. She turned her head to look at the stunned Zhou Jingya and pushed her: “Xiao Ya, Xiao Ya, what’s wrong with you?” Zhou Jingya snapped back to reality: “Huh? What’s wrong?” “I’m talking to you, and you seem not to hear, what’s the matter?” Zhou Jingya was taken aback, “I was thinking, Sister really has no self-respect now.” “She flits from man to man, she’ll get sick sooner or later!” Liu Yanfang cursed angrily: “That little bitch Nan Qiao, she won’t let us live in peace, and I won’t let her live in peace either!” Liu Yanfang left in a huff with Zhou Jingya. ... The Huo La La van drove into the villa, and the driver was stunned. This was the most luxurious area in Jing City! After unloading the items from the van, the delivery guy drove away. Nan Qiao politely offered, “Would you like to come in for a cup of tea?” Nan Qiao thought Li Yehan would decline, but heard him say, “Sure.” Nan Qiao: ... Li Yehan smiled slyly and said, “What? You don’t welcome my visit?” Nan Qiao was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, “Of course not.” Just like that, Nan Qiao led Li Yehan into the living room. The two talked as they walked; it was mostly Li Yehan speaking and Nan Qiao responding. The passing servants couldn’t help but sigh at the sight. No one expected that Bai Yurou hadn’t made her way into Li Yehan’s heart, yet the newly returned true daughter had managed to captivate him. “Have you heard? I heard Mr. Li previously had a marriage arrangement with Miss.” “Yes, I’ve heard that too. Mr. Li had a betrothal with Miss, but then Miss was taken back by the Bai Family, and Mr. Li broke off the engagement with them. Now I’ve heard that since Miss arrived at the Bai Family, she brought gifts and went to pursue Miss.” “Oh my god, Miss is so lucky! Mr. Li doesn’t care about matching social status and only likes Miss.” A few maids whispered among themselves. Bai Yurou came by and happened to hear their conversation, her face darkened. “What are you all gossiping about?” The maids bowed their heads: “Greetings, Fourth Miss.” “Shouldn’t you be working?” “Yes.” The maids quickly scurried away, fearing they might be scolded by Bai Yurou if they stayed. Bai Yurou watched Li Yehan and Nan Qiao leave, feeling as if her heart had been cut by a knife. In Bai Yurou’s eyes, there was only disdain, devoid of admiration. Mrs. Fang came over and stood beside Bai Yurou, and respectfully said, “Fourth Miss, what are all these people moving? Just plain cardboard boxes, they couldn’t possibly be trash that Nan Qiao picked up, could they?” Bai Yurou’s lips curled into a scornful smile, “Those are the graduation gifts her friends have sent her.” “Ah? What gifts would be in such ordinary cardboard boxes? Couldn’t it be that she deliberately had someone send them, just putting on a show. People from humble backgrounds can’t have wealthy friends. How can she compare with you, Fourth Miss?” Bai Yurou’s mood improved unconsciously, and she smiled, “Mrs. Fang, you make a good point. What kind of gifts could her friends possibly give her? Maybe it’s all just for show, to save face?” Mrs. Fang got the hint: “Fourth Miss, let me have a look, I must expose her fake lies. So vain!” And with that, Mrs. Fang stepped forward and casually opened a box, “Let’s see what priceless treasures are inside. I have to expose her lies! Such hypocrisy!” Mrs. Fang frivolously opened one of the inconspicuous boxes, the mocking words already organized in her mind. Just as she was about to scoff, Mrs. Fang saw the contents of the box, her eyes widened, and she was rendered speechless. Standing beside her, Bai Yurou saw this and frowned deeply, her footsteps moving towards the box. When Bai Yurou stood in front of the box and saw what was inside, she too was dumbfounded.
