From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 87 Qiaoqiao, You Care About Me
Chapter 87: Chapter 87 Qiaoqiao, You Care About Me
Bai Yurou was disheveled, her knee seeming as if it had shattered.
She slowly raised her head and saw Nan Qiao sitting in Li Yehan’s embrace, the two of them riding a horse together, a picture of affection, which made her spit out a mouthful of blood.
This blood was mainly due to the collision, her insides aching.
Ding Shiman, Huang Jiamin, and Du Qianqian, upon witnessing this scene, dismounted one after another and came to Bai Yurou’s side.
As for the frenzied horse, it had been injected with a tranquilizer, restored to calmness.
Huang Jiamin raised her head intending to scold Nan Qiao when Secretary Zhao arrived on horseback: "Mr. Li, Miss Nan Qiao, are you both alright?"
Mr. Li?
Looking around, in the entirety of Jing City, how many people would be referred to as Mr. Li?
Among the three of them, Huang Jiamin, Ding Shiman, and Du Qianqian, only Du Qianqian had met Li Yehan.
Du Qianqian also knew that Li Yehan was the man Bai Yurou had secretly loved for a long time, but had Li Yehan chosen Nan Qiao?
Li Yehan did not look at Bai Yurou, who was kneeling on the ground, disheveled. He said to Secretary Zhao, "Qiaoqiao was frightened; I need to take her to the hospital for a check-up. Should there be any problems, none of you will escape responsibility!"
Li Yehan left on horseback with Nan Qiao, leaving behind this oppressive and murky place.
Secretary Zhao glanced at Bai Yurou, showing no sympathy.
He had been with Li Yehan for many years, how could he not see the intent behind this incident?
The horses here were all trained; they would not go mad without cause.
Secretary Zhao was about to leave when Huang Jiamin blocked his path, her tone respectful as she asked: "Secretary Zhao, who exactly is this Nan Qiao? Is she Mr. Li’s companion?"
Secretary Zhao replied with displeasure: "What companion? She is Mr. Li’s girlfriend! Miss Nan Qiao is the true daughter recently found by the Bai Family after many years of separation."
After saying this, Secretary Zhao left, leaving Huang Jiamin standing there looking foolish, nearly out of her mind.
She looked at Bai Yurou, who was being helped up by Du Qianqian, and asked with a complex look in her eyes: "Bai Yurou, since you knew long ago that Nan Qiao is the true daughter of your Bai Family, why didn’t you clarify her identity early on? Why did you keep us in the dark, making me offend her?"
Ding Shiman also spoke up, somewhat displeased: "Yeah, Yurou, by saying this, where do you put us? If the Bai Family seeks accountability, if she whispers in Mr. Li’s ear, do you want our families ruined as well?"
Bai Yurou hurriedly explained: "No, how could I possibly mean to harm you. Manman, Jiamin, please listen to me explain."
Unfortunately, Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman left, displeased; they needed to manage the aftermath as soon as possible.
Du Qianqian stayed behind, helping Bai Yurou into the car with the equestrian staff and drove her to the hospital.
Du Qianqian hesitated, but ultimately asked the question that troubled her heart: "Yurou, that day in the mall, did you purposely guide me to misunderstand, making me think that Nan Qiao stole Mr. Li from you?"
Bai Yurou, looking pitifully vulnerable, shook her head and explained: "I truly led you; we’ve known each other for years, don’t you know I like Li Yehan? But just when she returned, she ended up with Li Yehan. Besides, she is the one who didn’t allow us to disclose her identity. I was just doing as she requested; I had no ill intentions."
Bai Yurou continued to cry: "Qianqian, aren’t we good friends? Don’t you trust me?"
Du Qianqian was torn, looking at the injured Bai Yurou, her face still marked by injuries, she appeared incredibly pitiful.
In the end, Du Qianqian chose to believe Bai Yurou.
Nan Qiao sat in the café, Li Yehan having ordered her five different desserts and some juice.
Li Yehan said, "I’ve heard that eating sweets can lift one’s spirits; give them a try."
Nan Qiao did not touch the desserts, but instead, she spoke up: "Li Yehan, since you knew Bai Yurou intentionally had you come, why did you still come? What if there is another motive behind this? What if someone intentionally plots against you?"
Had Li Yehan not considered these consequences?
Li Yehan looked at her worried face and laughed.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Qiaoqiao, you care about me."
Nan Qiao silently lowered her head, "I don’t."
"Qiaoqiao, there’s danger at the equestrian club. If I hadn’t come, what would you have done if something dangerous happened? Even if the danger was aimed at me, I would still protect you."
Li Yehan arrogantly said, "No assassin has ever been able to leave my side with ease!"
Nan Qiao raised her head to look at him, and Li Yehan smirked devilishly, "So Qiaoqiao, I have the ability to protect you."
Nan Qiao took a sip of juice, calmed her nerves, and said, "Li Yehan, let’s go visit Bai Yurou in the hospital."
Not visiting would indeed be hard to justify.
Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang would definitely go to the hospital too, what if Bai Yurou turned the tables?
Li Yehan said, "I’ll accompany you."
...
At the hospital.
Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang received a phone call and hurried over anxiously.
Chen Xinwan was heartbroken, "Yurou, how did you get such serious injuries? What exactly happened?"
Bai Zhenyang looked around, "Where’s Qiaoqiao? Yurou, is Qiaoqiao hurt too?"
Both girls had gone together, and with Bai Yurou’s serious injuries, Bai Zhenyang was worried Nan Qiao might be hurt as well.
Bai Zhenyang’s concern only made Bai Yurou hate Nan Qiao even more, and she even began to resent Bai Zhenyang.
Bai Yurou said, "My sister... she left with Brother Yehan..."
Having said this, Bai Yurou wiped away her tears.
With tears in her eyes, Bai Yurou managed a smile, "Thankfully, it’s not my sister who’s injured. If she were, mom and dad would be extremely worried. I can bear these injuries alone."
Chen Xinwan took her hand, deeply moved, "Silly girl, what are you talking about? You’re my daughter too, your father and I would be worried if you were injured."
Bai Zhenyang said, "Both of you are my children, I am concerned for both."
At that moment, Li Yehan and Nan Qiao arrived outside the hospital room.
Li Yehan knocked on the door, and Nan Qiao walked in.
Seeing that she was unharmed, Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Qiaoqiao, it’s good that you’re not hurt; you scared me to death," Chen Xinwan was genuinely frightened.
Nan Qiao gave a stiff smile, "At that moment, I was frightened too."
Li Yehan added, "Uncle, Aunt, the situation back then was too dangerous. If I hadn’t arrived in time, Qiaoqiao, such a delicate girl, might’ve been thrown right off the horse’s back."
Bai Zhenyang & Chen Xinwan: "What?!"
The couple’s expressions were identical, both filled with concern for Nan Qiao.
Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao’s hand with tears in her eyes, "Qiaoqiao my dear, you can’t go horse riding again; it’s too dangerous."
Bai Zhenyang said, "Yehan, thank you for saving my precious daughter."
Li Yehan responded, "You are too polite; it is the least I could do. Bai Yurou invited Qiaoqiao to go horse riding, and then her horse seemed to go mad, running wild everywhere."
Li Yehan stopped there, planting a seed of doubt in the hearts of Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang.
Was there something wrong with the horses at the equestrian club?
