Chapter 723: Living Off a Woman Is Sweet
The Qian He Poison came from her hand, and she hadn't used it more than twice.
When making the poison, Nan Shan followed behind her, and only Nan Shan had seen the process.
Now that the Qian He Poison has spread, it likely has a lot to do with Nan Shan.
Nan Qiao wanted to ask Nan Shan directly but thought about it and decided to wait a bit longer before asking.
If Nan Shan didn't want to talk, if she asked hastily, he definitely wouldn't tell the truth.
"Tell that person I'll come over tomorrow. I don't want ten million, I want twenty million. If they can produce twenty million, I'll go over."
A message came through the chatbox: Boss, it has to be you, this price is appropriate.
Nan Qiao: You negotiate with them, contact me when you've settled, and we can confirm the exact time.
She also needed to arrange things on her end carefully without any slip-ups.
As for Nan Shan, Nan Qiao thought about it and still wanted to find a chance to test the waters.
At that moment, Li Yehan walked over.
Nan Qiao, deep in thought, was completely oblivious, not noticing that Li Yehan had gradually approached and stood next to her, seeing the contents of the chatbox.
Li Yehan bent over, leaned towards Nan Qiao's ear, and whispered, "It seems I can be a kept man in the future. My wife opens her mouth, and she can earn twenty million. Eating soft rice will definitely taste good."
Nan Qiao: "..."
Nan Qiao was startled, "When did you come in?"
"Just came in, called you, but you didn't hear." Li Yehan had a playful smile on his lips.
Nan Qiao looked at the computer screen and then at Li Yehan's face full of amusement, awkwardly closing the laptop.
Li Yehan blocked her move: "Don't close it, keep working, I've already seen it, no need to hide."
Nan Qiao: "..."
The more she listened, the more awkward it became.
"Qiaoqiao, it's about time, let's go to the restaurant for dinner together."
Nan Qiao quietly hummed, putting on the familiar long black coat, setting off with Li Yehan.
Today was the day Li Xuelan invited everyone to dinner, with all members of the Bai Family and the Li Family attending.
When Nan Qiao arrived, everyone else was already there, chatting and laughing in the private room.
Nan Qiao was wearing a black coat, Li Yehan a black overcoat, and as they walked in together, everyone turned to look.
Nan Qiao: "..."
Li Xuelan was the first to speak: "Nan Qiao and Ye Han are here, I thought you weren't coming. Everyone is here, just waiting for you two not showing up, I was about to call you."
Nan Qiao could tell, this was her blaming Nan Qiao and Li Yehan for being late.
With Li Yehan around, Nan Qiao didn't have to speak; everything was handled by Li Yehan.
"If it's Auntie throwing the party, we have to show face. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother."
Li Yehan held Nan Qiao's hand, urging her to sit with him.
"Qiaoqiao must be tired, sit down and rest for a while." As he spoke, Li Yehan placed a hot drink in Nan Qiao's hand, letting her take a sip.
Li Yehan's attention was entirely on Nan Qiao, completely ignoring Li Xuelan's unpleasant expression.
Li Xuelan hadn't expected Li Yehan to not give her any face at all, showing her no respect!
The faces of the Bai Family members suddenly changed.
Chen Xinwan: "Qiaoqiao, didn't Mom tell you not to come this early? It's not even time yet, you're socially anxious, it's alright to be a bit late."
Grandpa Bai: "Xuelan is family, she certainly won't make things difficult for the younger ones. Even if you're late, she won't hold it against you."
Granny Bai: "Old Li adores Nan Qiao, so I guess Xuelan and Old Li are both good elders who cherish the younger ones."
Bai Zhenyang: "Daughter, why don't you check if the food suits your taste. If it's not to your liking, I'll have the chef remake the dishes you love and bring them up."
Li Xuelan: "..."
What are the Bai Family members trying to do?
Are they trying to make it impossible for her to step down?
This group is reversing the heavens!
At this moment, Bai Jingting also joined the team supporting Nan Qiao.
"Seems like we shouldn't arrive too early for gatherings anymore, lest my sister gets misunderstood for being late."
Bai Jingyan shook his head: "Arriving early is not good, not being late is not good either, I think we shouldn't have these gatherings at all."
Bai Jingrui: "I said we shouldn't attend gatherings. I'll book a luxurious banquet table for my sister, can't we enjoy our meal just with family? Why insist on coming to some gathering and let my sister suffer grievances."
Li Xuelan: "..."
Why does the Bai Family have zero emotional intelligence?
Openly implying things about her, is it fun?
Li Xuelan had never been insulted like this, no younger generation had dared publicly humiliate her, which made her extremely angry.
Li Xuelan's face was terribly gloomy. He Yunlai gently touched her arm and gave her a look.
Afterward, He Yunlai jovially smoothed things over: "Misunderstanding, this is all a misunderstanding. Xuelan was just telling me, wondering why Nan Qiao and Ye Han hadn't arrived yet. Now that they're here, the gathering is complete. Nowadays big brother is in a coma, for the Li Family matters, we also need to help organize, everyone is family."
Li Xuelan's expression eased a bit, agreeing, "That's exactly what I meant, only when everyone is present can it be considered complete."
Li Tianyi added supportively: "Our aunt is not someone who sweats the small stuff. We are all family, everyone sit down, the banquet will begin shortly."
Li Ning didn't want to confront Nan Qiao in front of everyone now; she was afraid Nan Qiao would bring up things about Qing University.
If she spoke out and everyone criticized her, forcing her to dissolve the club, what would she do?
She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of classmates; she wanted to defend her dignity and show everyone her capabilities.
Therefore, Li Ning tried to minimize her presence.
Seeing Nan Qiao not mentioning the school issue, she felt a lot better, once again resolved to stand strong.
Li Ning wore a white dress, her curled hair hanging down, with a no-makeup look accentuating her overall tenderness and charm.
Li Ning stood and spoke up, "Qiaoqiao, Auntie isn't a harsh elder; don't misunderstand."
Li Ning giggles.
Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow; seeing Li Ning stand out to speak was quite interesting.
Before Nan Qiao could respond, Bai Jingrui had already spoken, "You'd better not say anything, what if people think Auntie is giving my sister a hard time."
Li Ning: "..."
Li Ning was no longer giggling.
The smile on Li Ning's lips froze, unable to either come down or stay, just how awkward could it get.
Li Ning had only one thought now: destroy Bai Jingrui!
Li Ning silently cursed, outwardly smiling, "You heard, can't you tell what I mean?"
"What?" Bai Jingrui dug into his ear.
Li Ning: "!!"
Li Ning could no longer giggle.
Li Tianyi calmed the situation: "The waiter is bringing in the dishes, everyone please sit."
At this moment, the waiter came in with the dishes.
The words Li Ning wanted to say were swallowed down, earning her a glare from Li Tianyi.
Li Ning: "!!"
She could die of anger!
Li Ning sneaky tried to provoke a topic, but as she sat down, she met Nan Qiao's deep eyes, quickly lowering her head to reach for water.
When people are awkward, they're often very busy.
When busy, problems easily arise.
For example, at this moment, Li Ning knocked over the cup, spilling the water onto the table, which dripped down onto Li Tianyi's trousers.
Li Tianyi: "!!"
