Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Eat, I Eat Chapter 74: Chapter 74 Eat, I Eat Nan Qiao pushed Li Yehan away and quickly stepped back, “Li Yehan, it’s getting late, you should go back first.” Li Yehan looked at Nan Qiao fleeing and his thin lips curved into a sinister smile as he continued walking toward her. She ran and he chased, her escape seeming impossible. Until finally, Chen Xinwan came out to call for Nan Qiao. “Qiaoqiao, we’ve stewed bird’s nest in the kitchen, do you want to have a bowl?” Nan Qiao quickly replied, “Yes, I’ll have it.” If she didn’t eat the bird’s nest, Li Yehan would have ‘eaten’ her. Chen Xinwan courteously invited Li Yehan, “Yehan, would you like to have a bowl too?” Li Yehan was politely declined, “Thank you, Aunt, Qiaoqiao said it’s getting late, and I should go home.” Nan Qiao: ... Li Yehan gave people the impression that Nan Qiao made him feel neglected. ... After Li Yehan left, Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao strolled on their way back. Nan Qiao under the streetlight looked pitiful and charming. Chen Xinwan looked at Nan Qiao, her eyes filled with guilt. How great it would have been if she had found Nan Qiao earlier. “Qiaoqiao, these years have been hard on you. The mishap at the hospital separated us for eighteen years,” Chen Xinwan, thinking of the incident, wished she could give everything to Nan Qiao to make up for the lost eighteen years. “How could our three children have been switched? What happened at the hospital back then? How could we have taken the wrong babies?” “I was accompanying your father on a business trip when I had labor pains and we found a hospital. Just after I gave birth, there were rumors of someone abducting babies. In the turmoil, amidst reports of gunshots, the nurse handed the baby to your father, and we transferred to another hospital.” Nan Qiao felt something was off as she heard these words. “The hospital’s security shouldn’t be that poor.” “Ever since I discovered that we had taken the wrong child, I’ve had someone looking into it. The doctor and nurses responsible retired or left the city, and they’ve disappeared without a trace.” Nan Qiao frowned, what Chen Xinwan said matched Hou Ze’s findings. Now they needed to locate those involved from back then to know the truth. “Qiaoqiao, I’ll have your father continue the investigation. We must find those people from back then! My daughter has suffered outside, and no one can escape punishment!” Nan Qiao calmed her mother’s excited emotions, “Mom, I’m getting a bit hungry.” Indeed, Chen Xinwan’s attention immediately shifted, “Qiaoqiao, you’re hungry, should I ask the kitchen to make you some noodles? Or do you want fried rice? We have fruits too, whatever you want.” Nan Qiao replied, “Some fruit would be good. Isn’t there still bird’s nest? Eating too much at night can upset the stomach and disturb sleep.” “Qiaoqiao, you’re absolutely right. Let’s have some fruit, and if you get hungry in the middle of the night, I’ll have the maid make you some snacks, eat little and often.” The two conversed as they entered the living room. Bai Yurou’s eyes were fixed outside the door, curious why Li Yehan hadn’t stayed. Did Nan Qiao not realize the advantage of clinging to Li Yehan? Bai Yurou smiled cunningly, “Mom, sister, come and eat the bird’s nest.” Nan Qiao remained silent, following Chen Xinwan over. ... The next morning, Zhou Hongqi began his endeavor to cling to the powerful. Zhou Jingya hired a professional makeup artist, wore an expensive, gorgeous dress, and joined Zhou Hongqi and Liu Yanfang to visit the residence where Mr. Li lived. However... they were stopped right at the gate. The security diligently inquired, “Who are you looking for? Do you have an appointment?” Zhou Hongqi: ?? An appointment was needed to visit someone here? Zhou Hongqi was bewildered, and the security added, “We have an appointment service here, when, approximately what time, and who will come can be verified with the owner. It appears you don’t have an appointment, sorry, but your vehicle cannot enter.” Zhou Hongqi didn’t have Mr. Li’s personal number and couldn’t get inside, so he had to back the car out. Parking aside, Zhou Hongqi got out to negotiate with the security. He first took out a cigarette, which the security refused. Then he promised a bribe, which the security again refused, scolding him. “Sir, what are you implying? Are you trying to bribe me? Are you encouraging me to commit a crime? I’m calling the police!” Zhou Hongqi: ... He was very angry! This was a villa area, and the authority over the main gate blocked Zhou Hongqi’s entry. The three sat in the car and discussed how to get in. Their final plan was for Zhou Hongqi to spend money to get Mr. Li’s phone number. He dialed the number, and Mr. Li’s robust voice answered, “Who is this?” “Mr. Li, it’s me, Zhou An’s son. My father often mentioned you and said if his health allowed, he definitely wanted to play another round with you.” Mr. Li suddenly realized and replied cheerfully, “An’s son! Why are you calling me, what’s up?” Mr. Li’s straightforwardness made Zhou Hongqi’s face sour. He shamelessly continued, “It’s like this, my father often talked about a marriage arrangement with your grandson. I’m calling to discuss this, my daughter is both beautiful and intelligent, has outstanding grades, and is sensible and well-behaved.” Mr. Li: ??? Mr. Li inwardly: Could she be as beautiful and intelligent as Qiaoqiao? Could she have grades as outstanding as Qiaoqiao’s? Could she be as sensible and well-behaved as Qiaoqiao? Mr. Li was really curious about what kind of girl could be that excellent. “Young Zhou, I’ve discussed this with your grandfather, the kids are grown up, and we are not in favor of arranged marriages anymore. Your daughter being so outstanding, my good-for-nothing grandson wouldn’t match up.” Zhou Hongqi was dumbfounded, Mr. Li spoke as if he didn’t want to acknowledge it? Zhou Hongqi frowned and continued, “Mr. Li, I heard Mr. Li is very outstanding, and it’s us who are reaching for someone above our level. I have already reached your villa area, but the security won’t let me enter, otherwise I would have already visited you.” Mr. Li: ?? He has arrived at the doorstep? Mr. Li’s phone received a message, and he checked WeChat to see it was from Nan Qiao saying she had arrived at the gate. Mr. Li quickly replied to Nan Qiao: Qiaoqiao, you’re here, I’ll send Ah Fu to welcome you at the gate. “No need, I know the way, I’ll just come by myself.” Nan Qiao drove by, and the Zhou family happened to see her. Zhou Hongqi was stunned, why was Nan Qiao here? Zhou Jingya paused, “She’s here to clean, right?” Liu Yanfang speculated, “With her looks, could she be someone’s mistress in this villa area?” Zhou Jingya frowned, “Can she even cling to the rich people here? That seems impossible.” Mr. Li heard Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya’s comments on the other end of the phone and frowned, “Who are you talking about?”
