Chapter 726: Telling Qiaoqiao the Secret
Nan Qiao was very calm, as if these things were nothing at all.
Everyone saw Nan Qiao's confidence, and Li Yehan didn't mind either, but they couldn't help but worry.
Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao's hand, her loving yet worried eyes making Nan Qiao a bit uneasy.
Why did she feel like Chen Xinwan seemed very afraid of losing her?
Wasn't she living here?
Wasn't she already part of the Bai Family?
Why look at her with such eyes?
"Mom, don't worry, these are minor issues. I rarely interact with them. When they look for me, I just make excuses, so rest assured."
Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao's hand tighter, slowly putting her heart at ease.
"Mom's not worried, I know you can do it. Our Qiaoqiao is the smartest and bravest, never letting the adults worry."
As Chen Xinwan spoke more, the more it seemed off, leaving Nan Qiao confused, feeling something wasn't right.
"Mom, what are you trying to say?"
Chen Xinwan seemed to realize something at this moment and quickly changed her words: "Mom is just too worried about you, Qiaoqiao. Mom hopes you stay safe and well."
Chen Xinwan gently patted Nan Qiao's hand, looking at her lovingly.
Nan Qiao felt underestimated; Chen Xinwan wasn't saying directly, and she didn't want to ask more.
What exactly is wrong with Mom?
...
This question, Bai Zhenyang also wanted to ask.
"Wanwan, all day today you've been absent-minded. When I talk to you, I have to call you twice before you answer. Did someone bully you? Anyone daring to bully you, tell me, and I won't let them off!"
Chen Xinwan sat next to him dejectedly, opened her handbag, took out a document, and handed it to Bai Zhenyang silently.
Bai Zhenyang was very puzzled but didn't immediately ask, instead, he opened the document to see its contents.
Moments later, Bai Zhenyang sighed deeply.
"This must be fake! These people really know how to spread rumors! Everyone knows their malicious intent, these people have no good intentions!"
Chen Xinwan chuckled: "Look at you, even saying words like that surprises me."
"It says that Qiaoqiao is not my daughter, but someone deliberately placed as a spy in the Bai Family. Qiaoqiao a spy? She's clearly my daughter! More genuine than gold! The paternity test was done too, absolutely true! Wanwan, you can't doubt our Qiaoqiao over these baseless things."
"The paternity test was done, but they say there's a drug that, after taking it, can match with our blood type." Chen Xinwan said helplessly and angrily.
Bai Zhenyang sat down, full of confidence about Nan Qiao, but his mood was somewhat affected, getting more worried the more he thought.
The couple exchanged a glance, and Chen Xinwan's smile gradually broadened.
"Look at you, comforting me verbally, yet you're also very worried."
Bai Zhenyang smiled: "My worry isn't about doubt. I know Qiaoqiao is definitely my daughter. I'm just worried those people have ulterior motives, trying one plan after another. Qiaoqiao, this child always reports good news, not the bad, some things she won't tell us either."
Bai Zhenyang said, holding Chen Xinwan's hand, offering considerable comfort in his words: "If worse comes to worse, we'll find Qiaoqiao and talk face to face. As a family, is there anything we can't get through?"
Chen Xinwan's eyes brightened; she had been worried, wanting to hide it from Nan Qiao.
Now hearing Bai Zhenyang say this, she suddenly felt that speaking openly might be the best solution!
"Wanwan, trust me this once, Qiaoqiao is not that petty. Opening up as a family makes it easier to get along in the future. If you keep it to yourself and Qiaoqiao finds out, how do you plan to face her?"
Chen Xinwan: "..."
Bai Zhenyang persuaded her a bit, and Chen Xinwan suddenly felt that what he said made a lot of sense.
"In that case, let's go find Qiaoqiao together." Chen Xinwan picked up the document.
Bai Zhenyang sighed in relief; he wasn't sure if this was right either, but doing nothing worried him about future problems.
So, in the short span of five minutes, many thoughts ran through his mind.
His mind was scattered, planning to simplify the complex.
Ultimately, the couple still knocked on Nan Qiao's room door.
Li Yehan opened the door, seeing them both appear at the door, with emotions surging in his eyes.
"Mom and Dad, I'll go make some supper for Qiaoqiao, so you can keep her company." Li Yehan naturally said this, took long strides, and left shortly.
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan looked at their son-in-law, increasingly satisfied.
There aren't many people so perceptive.
Nan Qiao, hearing their voices, came out from inside, wearing a long, pale-yellow pajama.
Her bun was loose, her face full, features distinct, with a fair little face, flushed cheeks and a gentle smile, bright eyes sparkling like galaxies.
Chen Xinwan's heart melted instantly; she still liked her daughter more.
A soft, adorable daughter is better than any cheeky boy.
"Mom and Dad, why are you looking for me so late?" Nan Qiao then said, "Come in and sit, Mom and Dad."
Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan walked in to sit, Nan Qiao's big eyes twinkled as she looked at them.
Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang suddenly found themselves speechless as if their mouths were sealed.
Nan Qiao wasn't in a hurry either, nor did she prompt, waiting silently for them to speak.
Eventually, it was Chen Xinwan who spoke up.
She placed the document on the table and explained the situation to Nan Qiao.
Bai Zhenyang explained: "Your mother and I don't believe what's written in it. To us, you're our daughter, our biological daughter."
Chen Xinwan nodded in agreement: "Qiaoqiao, your father and I came to tell you this because we also hope you remain vigilant. I'm worried those people will try again if one plan doesn't work, and do something to hurt you."
Nan Qiao didn't speak, her attention focused on the document.
After carefully reading it, Nan Qiao admired the person who sent the document.
The black and white text was written so meticulously, it really could make people believe it.
She was quite surprised that her parents brought it to her.
Perhaps that's what family means, mutual trust among each other.
"Mom and Dad, thank you for believing in me."
Chen Xinwan sighed: "Qiaoqiao darling, you're my child, of course, I believe in you. Is there something between you and these people? If there's anything your dad and I can help, we surely will. Don't keep it to yourself and not tell us."
Indeed, the Bai Family could help in some matters.
Nan Qiao explained: "I do have issues with these people, issues I don't even know how they got tangled up with me. When I practiced medicine with my mentor, I always wore a mask outside, no outsiders saw my face. If there are issues, it's likely things left behind by Bai Yurou."
Upon mentioning this, Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang suddenly understood.
In the end, it's they who put Nan Qiao in danger.
"Those people were targeting us!" Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang said in unison.
