From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love

The family atmosphere gradually grew thick, and Nan Qiao looked at the serious expressions of the family, comforting them aloud.

"Everyone doesn't need to worry about me. These are all small things. At worst, the company closes down, it definitely won't affect me, don't worry." Nan Qiao said lightly.

Bai Zhenyang: "Qiaoqiao is right. Our Bai Family is large and prosperous. If one company closes, there are other companies to keep us busy."

With his daughter being so optimistic, as a father, he couldn't dampen her spirits; he had to move forward with her, together through thick and thin.

Chen Xinwan: "Daughter, eat more food, let's talk about other things after we are full."

Bai Jingting: "The legal department has already handled the follow-up matters. The media's speculations, sister, you needn't worry about them, someone will take care of it."

Bai Jingyan: "Sister, our team is also suppressing hot searches, sending those false rumors back to where they came from."

Bai Jingrui: "Sister, design a few more outfits for me, I only wear clothes made by your company!"

He wanted to support his sister!

With the whole family doing their best for her, Nan Qiao wore a brilliant smile, feeling very happy.

Everyone was so concerned about Nan Qiao; she felt touched, excited, and filled with confidence that she could surely solve these problems!

...

Old Mr. Li heard about the matter and came to Li Tianyi's house without prior notice.

Li Tianyi's family's dinner was very sumptuous: red wine paired with airlifted steak, tender and juicy, just looking at it made it seem delicious.

Old Mr. Li's sudden visit left Li Tianyi and Mei Tian Sha Zi quite surprised, revealing panicky expressions.

"Dad, why didn't you tell me before coming? I would have picked you up." Li Tianyi walked up dutifully, wanting to support the elder.

Old Mr. Li did not let him and walked straight ahead, sitting in the sofa area.

With Old Mr. Li there, the delicious steak was left untouched as the family of four had to follow him to the sofa area and sit down.

"Second son, what happened at Qiaoqiao's show? You two were on the scene; tell me about it." Old Mr. Li asked sternly.

Li Tianyi: "Dad, things happened very quickly. The model was on the runway and suddenly collapsed unconscious. Worried, I squeezed in for a look; the model was covered with red spots, possibly a rash?"

Mei Tian Sha Zi: "The situation was critical, Qiaoqiao sent the models to the hospital. Dad, we don't know what happened either."

Li Tianyi: "Dad, have you eaten? If not, why not have dinner here with us?"

Old Mr. Li sighed: "I can't eat or sleep either. I can't directly ask both Ye Han and Qiaoqiao because I'm afraid Qiaoqiao might be in a bad mood. Second son, I can't eat a single bite."

Li Tianyi: "..."

So does he have to be unable to eat too?

Li Tianyi took a deep breath, forced a smile, maintaining a showing of dutifulness and modest politeness.

"Dad, if you don't eat, how can your body handle it? If you crumble, what will become of our family? Qiaoqiao and Ye Han need your guidance still, you must take care of yourself."

Old Mr. Li: "Tianyi, when you were at the scene, did you notice any suspicious people? Obviously, someone is out to harm Qiaoqiao. Whoever it is, they're like a stinking rat in the gutter, jealous of Qiaoqiao's talent, her burgeoning career, jealous of her abilities at such a young age."

Mei Tian Sha Zi & Li Tianyi: "..."

The two didn't want to hear these words.

"Dad, it was too chaotic back then, and there were so many people that it was difficult to notice."

Old Mr. Li scrutinized Li Tianyi with a suspicious look, as if assessing whether his words were true or false.

"Dad, how could I possibly deceive you? Every word I say is true." Li Tianyi hastily explained.

"Tianyi, I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious. You used to have so many ideas, so good at reading people. How come you're not as clever as when you were little?"

Li Tianyi: "..."

"Dad, wasn't I amnesiac? Later, the circle I lived in was very clean, without complex issues, without needing to think through strategies, and I forgot how to play mind games." Li Tianyi said helplessly.

Li Ning glanced at his father, thinking: Hmm, speaking blatant lies with eyes wide open.

Li Chengyan remained silent, quietly thinking: If you don't know how to play mind games, how come my mom is still kept in the dark by you even now?

The siblings remained silent, each with a vexed mood.

Sitting there, what's the difference from acting in a play?

Is it a competition to see who has the best acting skills?

Who can withstand the pressure?

Li Chengyan and Li Ning had been well-protected before, completely unaware of the true nature of this home.

Now that they had some clues, everyone felt bad, harboring some resentment towards Mei Tian Sha Zi and Li Tianyi.

Old Mr. Li seeing that he couldn't get any information, sighed, stood up, and left.

"I'll go ask Ye Han, you all just eat, steak isn't good when it gets cold."

Old Mr. Li and Uncle Fu left together.

Li Tianyi's entire body stiffened, not understanding what Old Mr. Li meant by those words, a warning perhaps?

Li Tianyi felt somewhat panicked.

...

On the way back.

Old Mr. Li stayed silent, not speaking.

Seeing his poor mood, Uncle Fu proactively spoke: "Sir, your face didn't look good after you left Second Young Master's place. Did you think of something?"

"Ah Fu, you saw it too, didn't you?"

Uncle Fu laughed: "Sir, Second Young Master just had a sumptuous dinner, it doesn't prove anything."

"Tianyi gives me the feeling of celebrating prematurely." Old Mr. Li's eyes gradually turned cold.

Uncle Fu: "Miss Nan Qiao has always been a brave and wise woman, but this time, things don't quite match her usual style."

Old Mr. Li laughed: "Ah Fu, you're good at analyzing."

"Sir, after being by your side for so many years, I've picked up some things; I have my humble opinions. What I say isn't necessarily the truth. If I'm wrong, don't take it to heart."

"If what you say isn't right then who else could say anything right? Ah Fu, around me, there's no need to be reserved, we're good brothers who have gone through hardships together."

"Sir, watch and see, I believe Miss Nan Qiao can handle this matter well."

Old Mr. Li: "Ye Han that rascal, he doesn't even tell me when something's up. He's not close to Li Tianhong, which is fine, but he seems to have forgotten his old grandpa after marrying."

Even in such a big matter, he didn't even think to call me.

Though Old Mr. Li spoke like this, his eyes showed no anger; instead, he seemed amused.

Uncle Fu could tell that Old Mr. Li wasn't truly angry.

"Young Mr. Ye Han doesn't tell you also because he doesn't want you to worry, he's always very concerned about you." Uncle Fu said in agreement with Old Mr. Li.

"Who needs his concern? He should just take care of Qiaoqiao and my great-grandchild. If Qiaoqiao's in a bad mood, how can her baby be well? Tell Ah Mao to come back."

Uncle Fu was shocked.

Tell Ah Mao to come back?
