From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love

The air was thick with the scent of blood, and Du Qianqian was so frightened as she moved forward, calling out, "Grandma, Grandma."

Li Yehan took a gun from his waist and pulled Nan Qiao behind him, protecting her.

"I'll go check it out. You stay here and don't come over."

Nan Qiao: "Be careful."

Li Yehan: "Mm."

Li Yehan walked forward cautiously, his watchful eyes scanning the surroundings.

At that moment, the door was opened.

Li Yehan pointed his gun at the person inside the door.

Grandma Rong stood there with bloodstains on her light gray clothes, a shocking sight to behold.

Du Qianqian was almost scared out of her wits, hurriedly calling out, "Grandma, it's me, Qianqian, your granddaughter. Grandma, pull yourself together and look at me."

Du Qianqian softly asked, "Could my grandmother be possessed?"

Nan Qiao: "I don't know either. We can only check her pulse and get her examined to determine what's going on with her body."

Besides that, Nan Qiao couldn't say for sure.

Du Qianqian trembled, her lips quivering: "Grandma, please come to your senses."

Li Yehan kept his gun trained on Grandma Rong, ready to fire at any moment.

Grandma Rong looked at the three people and spoke, "What are you all doing?"

Grandma Rong squinted at the weapon in Li Yehan's hand.

Though her eyesight was failing, she could tell Li Yehan was holding a gun.

The gun was aimed at her; were they planning to kill her?

Du Qianqian: "Grandma, what's happening to you? There's so much blood at your door, and you're covered in it too."

Nan Qiao: "Grandma Rong, I heard from Qianqian that you weren't replying to her messages. She was worried about you, so she asked me to come check on you."

Nan Qiao introduced, "This is my boyfriend. He came along with me to visit you."

Li Yehan twitched his mouth—when would he get official recognition?

Could it be that he was just too difficult to acknowledge?

Grandma Rong smiled and explained, "I was just using some black dog blood and rooster blood to ward off evil. Don't be afraid; it's not human blood."

Everyone: "..."

They had considered many possibilities, but black dog blood and rooster blood never crossed their minds.

Du Qianqian sighed in relief, "Grandma, you nearly scared me to death."

Du Qianqian stepped forward, carefully avoiding the bloodstains.

"Grandma, as long as you're okay."

Grandma Rong: "Qianqian, you go entertain Qiaoqiao and the others. I'll change my clothes and join you later."

"Okay."

Du Qianqian led Nan Qiao and Li Yehan away, letting Grandma Rong go change first.

...

In the living room.

Grandma Rong entered, refreshed after changing her clothes.

"Qiaoqiao, sorry for making you worry. A few days ago, I got a divination at the temple, and it was a bad omen. I heard black dog blood and rooster blood could dispel it. I was afraid the kids wouldn't agree and worried they might panic at the sight of blood, so I didn't tell them and quietly did the rituals by myself."

Who would have thought Du Qianqian would bring Nan Qiao over?

Du Qianqian awkwardly touched her nose, "Grandma, you didn't respond to messages, and you wouldn't let us visit. I was worried about you."

Nan Qiao: "Grandma Rong, it's good to know you're fine."

"Qiaoqiao, I'm sorry for making you come all the way."

"I wanted to visit you anyway, so it wasn't a hassle."

Grandma Rong smiled even more lovingly. Speaking with Nan Qiao always had a comforting and pleasant effect.

Following the flow, Nan Qiao had Grandma Rong extend her arm for a pulse check.

The servant brought in delicious snacks, fruits, and tea.

Nan Qiao released her hand and stated honestly, "Grandma Rong, your recent insomnia is affecting your health. I'll prescribe you some medicine to help with the insomnia."

Grandma Rong: "Qiaoqiao, your medical skills are truly remarkable. You've got it spot on. I've been having restless sleep and poor appetite lately."

Nan Qiao: "Grandma Rong, it's because you have too many thoughts, and your mind is overworked."

Nan Qiao glanced at Du Qianqian, who immediately fetched paper and pen.

With just a look from Nan Qiao, Du Qianqian instantly understood.

Nan Qiao took the pen and wrote down the prescription.

"Take five sets of this medicine, one per day, and boil it in three cups of water until one cup remains," Nan Qiao instructed.

As she spoke, Nan Qiao also wrote down the medication instructions.

Nan Qiao's thoughtfulness made both Du Qianqian and Grandma Rong deeply grateful.

To have a friend like Nan Qiao was truly a blessing for them.

Grandma Rong thought about a fine piece of jade she had and decided to send it to the Bai Family for Qiaoqiao later.

If she gave it now, Nan Qiao would surely refuse.

Better to deliver it to her house quietly and deal with it then.

After chatting for a bit, Nan Qiao and Li Yehan took their leave.

Du Qianqian stood up: "I'll see you out."

...

Du Qianqian escorted Nan Qiao and Li Yehan to the gate. When Nan Qiao saw the man getting out of the car, she squinted slightly.

Wasn't that Zhao Xun?

Zhao Xun also noticed Nan Qiao and paid even more attention to Li Yehan beside her.

Every time Zhao Xun saw Li Yehan, he wanted to ask him a question.

Zhao Xun: Li Yehan, what exactly do you see in Yu Meng? Is it her arrogance you like, or her wickedness, or is it something simple like her beauty?

Zhao Xun mulled it over and felt that Yu Meng was the one benefitting more.

Yu Meng, having a man like Li Yehan, must be secretly thrilled in her dreams!

Zhao Xun didn't back down, striding over quickly.

"Qianqian, what are they doing at our place?" Zhao Xun's tone sounded as if he was calling someone out.

Du Qianqian tugged on Zhao Xun's sleeve, giving him a signal.

Zhao Xun, just zip it!

Du Qianqian: "Qiaoqiao and Mr. Li are guests we invited. Show some manners and respect."

Zhao Xun: ???

He needed to show respect?

Zhao Xun felt like punching someone.

Zhao Xun pulled Du Qianqian aside and asked quietly, "What are they doing here, Qianqian? Tell me."

Du Qianqian explained everything in detail.

Zhao Xun: ???

"Is her medical skill really that good?"

Was he not aware enough of Yu Meng?

"Be nice to Qiaoqiao; she's Grandma's savior, as well as our family's. You were abroad, so you don't know. Without Qiaoqiao, I wouldn't be standing here talking to you."

Zhao Xun, feeling awkward, hung his head without responding.

"Zhao Xun, did you hear what I said?"

Zhao Xun stayed silent.

Du Qianqian: "I know you heard me, and I don't care what issue you have with Qiaoqiao. What I want to tell you is that you must be polite to her."

With that, Du Qianqian left.

Zhao Xun only felt that he shouldn't have gotten out of the car; he should have just stayed inside!

That way, he wouldn't have to feel so awkward!

What a mess!

Why did he decide to get out of the car?

As Zhao Xun was wrapped in his thoughts, Nan Qiao's voice drifted over his head.

"Zhao Xun, are you brooding?"

Zhao Xun: "..."
