From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love

Nan Qiao hurriedly asked, "Uncle Fu, what's the matter?"

"Old Mr. Li has fainted. I wanted to take him to the hospital, but he refused, insisting on staying at home. He's afraid that if he goes to the hospital, someone will take advantage of his illness to take his life."

"I gave Old Mr. Li the medicine you provided, Miss Nan Qiao. Do you have time to come over now?"

"Yes, I'll come over right away."

Nan Qiao walked with Li Yehan.

Nan Shan called out to her, "Master, can I go with you?"

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan were quite surprised; Nan Shan didn't want to leave before, so why the sudden willingness now?

Nan Qiao didn't know what Nan Shan wanted to do, so she asked directly, "Nan Shan, didn't you say you didn't want to come with me?"

Nan Shan replied, "Master, I want to go with you to see him. You've always taken care of me, and now that I'm capable, I also want to help you."

Nan Qiao immediately felt that Nan Shan seemed to have truly grown up and understood more things.

After thinking it over, Nan Qiao discussed with Li Yehan and decided to take Nan Shan along.

But before leaving, Nan Qiao disguised Nan Shan, changing his appearance so he wouldn't be targeted.

Nan Qiao found a ready-made Human Skin Mask at Zheng Qinnian's place, saving the time of making a new one.

...

Old Mr. Li was unconscious, and Uncle Fu stayed by his side, instructing everyone that nobody needed to be notified for visitors.

Old Mr. Li was asleep and temporarily could not meet anyone.

After giving instructions, Uncle Fu paced nervously, waiting for Nan Qiao to arrive.

He had no idea what went wrong; Old Mr. Li's health had long been good, so why was he now unconscious?

Old Mr. Li insisted on not going to the hospital, leaving Uncle Fu with no choice but to give him quick heart-saving pills to ensure his heartbeat was regular, momentarily easing his concerns.

After a while, Nan Qiao along with Li Yehan and Nan Shan arrived.

Seeing them come, Uncle Fu was so relieved he nearly shed tears.

"Young Mr. Yehan, Miss Nan Qiao, you've finally arrived, finally!"

Nan Qiao went over to check Old Mr. Li's pulse.

Li Yehan said, "Uncle Fu, please go out and keep watch; I'm afraid someone might try to break in."

"Young Mr. Yehan, you have thought it through well. I'll go now and make sure no one intrudes!"

Uncle Fu went out.

Nan Qiao checked Old Mr. Li's pulse and discovered he was poisoned.

Nan Shan stood there, a solemn expression on his face: "He's poisoned."

Just by standing close and observing, Nan Shan could tell he was poisoned; Nan Qiao was amazed, curious about Nan Shan's background.

"Grandpa is indeed poisoned." Nan Qiao stood up and walked outside.

She went to ask Uncle Fu what Old Mr. Li had for lunch.

Uncle Fu brought over the lunch Old Mr. Li ate. After seeing him faint, he had kept a sample of the meal, just in case.

If something went wrong, they could find the reason.

Uncle Fu's actions received Nan Qiao's approval.

Nan Qiao inspected the food and found it was not poisonous.

"The food isn't poisoned; how did Grandpa get poisoned?" Nan Qiao was puzzled.

Thus, Nan Qiao began to examine the furnishings in Old Mr. Li's room for hidden toxins or items that might clash with the food.

After searching, Nan Qiao's gaze locked on a direction.

As she was about to walk over, she heard Uncle Fu and Li Tianyi arguing outside.

"Uncle Fu, you say I can't go in, but why can Ye Han and Qiaoqiao? I'm my father's son; don't I have the right to go in?"

"Second Young Master, I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean? Just because I just returned, Uncle Fu, do you also look down on me?"

Uncle Fu felt wronged and explained urgently.

"Second Young Master, I didn't mean that."

"What do you mean? After all, you still won't let me go in and see my dad, right?" Li Tianyi sighed helplessly.

Hearing this, Fu uncle became even more anxious.

What on earth was going on!

How did things turn out like this?

Uncle Fu wanted to speak but was interrupted by Li Tianyi's frustrated voice.

"Uncle Fu, not letting me in, is it my dad's wish? If it's his wish, I'll leave now and definitely won't upset him." Li Tianyi looked downcast, like a lost dog.

Seeing Li Tianyi in such a dismal state, Uncle Fu felt conflicted, unsure of how to lie.

After thinking, he couldn't come up with a perfect excuse.

Just as he was about to speak, Li Yehan came out of the room.

"Second Uncle."

"Ye Han, so you are really inside. Does your grandfather really not want to see me?"

"Second Uncle, you misunderstand. Grandpa invited Qiaoqiao to play chess; Qiaoqiao is excellent at chess, and Grandpa thought of a way to break a stalemate today, so he called her back, not allowing anyone to interrupt them playing chess. I accompanied Qiaoqiao and heard your voice, so I came out to see."

Li Yehan said many things to buy time for Nan Qiao to inspect thoroughly.

With Li Tianyi outside, someone had to create space for Qiaoqiao.

Li Yehan intended to conceal Old Mr. Li's poisoning, hoping that as few people knew as possible.

"Coincidentally, I came to find your grandfather to play chess as well." Li Tianyi smiled faintly.

"In that case, Second Uncle, you should come another day." Li Yehan responded indifferently.

The smile disappeared slowly from Li Tianyi's eyes.

"Ye Han, my chess skills aren't as good as Qiaoqiao's. Let me in; I can also learn alongside. When you don't have time to accompany your grandfather in chess, I can be there."

As he spoke, Li Tianyi stepped forward.

Li Yehan blocked his path, his sharp gaze like a knife, killing without a trace.

Li Tianyi felt intense hostility but didn't back down.

"Ye Han, what do you mean? Is your grandfather's room only open to you but not to me? Ye Han, I am still your uncle, yet you are so disrespectful."

"Second Uncle, in this matter, am I disrespectful? Are you sure?"

Li Tianyi: "..."

Li Tianyi choked and couldn't speak, his anger simmering, waiting to explode.

Uncle Fu stood aside, caught between them, unable to say anything proper.

Having lived most of his life, Uncle Fu found such situations hauntingly memorable.

Li Yehan stood before Li Tianyi. His height was slightly taller, giving off a sense of looking down on him.

"Second Uncle, knowing Grandpa is inside playing chess, don't go in seeking trouble!"

Li Tianyi was speechless and knew that if he forced his way in, he feared Old Mr. Li would blame him.

Yet, not entering left him vexed.

With no options, Li Tianyi left in rage.

Uncle Fu sighed in relief, relieved to have sent Second Young Master away.

Faced with such circumstances, Uncle Fu found it extremely difficult.

Li Yehan instructed Uncle Fu to continue keeping watch while he went back inside.

"Young Mr. Yehan rest assured, I will stand my ground and won't let anyone intrude without permission." He too needed to show his resolve!

Once inside, Li Yehan felt puzzled by the scene before him.
