From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 89: Nan Qiao Stays Overnight at the Li Family
Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Nan Qiao Stays Overnight at the Li Family
Old Li lay in bed, his eyes red-rimmed, while Uncle Fu stood beside him.
Seeing Li Yehan and Nan Qiao enter, the anxiety that had been gripping his heart finally eased.
He firmly believed that as long as Nan Qiao was there, no disease would pose a problem.
"Miss Nan Qiao, you’ve finally arrived. Please take a look at him, I’ve kept the family doctor’s diagnostic tools here for you to use and sent him away."
The family doctor, truly of no help at all.
With Uncle Fu speaking so bluntly, it must be due to extreme anxiety about Old Li’s condition.
"Don’t worry, Uncle Fu," Nan Qiao reassured, "Grandpa Li is blessed, and he certainly will be fine. Please go out with Li Yehan first, and I will examine Grandpa."
After Li Yehan and Uncle Fu left, Nan Qiao examined Old Li. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Meanwhile, in the living room.
Li Yehan sat on the sofa, with Uncle Fu standing beside him.
"What exactly is going on," Li Yehan asked coolly.
Uncle Fu sighed, "It’s him again, he called the old master, and I don’t know what they talked about, but it made the old master faint from anger."
Li Yehan’s expression grew darker, and Uncle Fu did not dare to make a sound, knowing that Li Yehan must have a way to handle the situation.
Nan Qiao applied acupuncture to Old Li, stabilizing his condition.
Thankfully, he had been taking the medicine she provided during this time, and his current situation was not too serious.
When Nan Qiao came out, an excited Uncle Fu asked, "Miss Nan Qiao, our old master is all right now, isn’t he?"
"There’s nothing to worry about now, Uncle Fu."
Uncle Fu’s face lit up with joy, and he clasped his hands together, muttering "Amitabha."
"Miss Nan Qiao, you’re a living Bodhisattva."
If not for meeting Nan Qiao, the old man wouldn’t be in his current state of health.
"Miss Nan Qiao, dinner’s been prepared in the kitchen. I’ll go take a look, and you and the young master can eat together later."
Uncle Fu tactfully left, not wanting to disturb Li Yehan and Nan Qiao’s time together.
The dinner sent from the kitchen was very lavish.
Black truffle ham salad, escargots from France, black truffles, and prime rib—a veritable visual feast.
Uncle Fu said respectfully, "Miss Nan Qiao, if the food isn’t to your liking, just let the chef know, and I’ll have them make something else."
Nan Qiao replied, "It’s fine, there’s no need to make anything else. Uncle Fu, Li Yehan and I can’t possibly finish all these dishes."
Li Yehan said, "You may leave."
"Yes." Uncle Fu and the kitchen staff all exited.
Uncle Fu entered Old Li’s room and found that he had awoken.
"Master, you’re awake. How do you feel? Should I get Miss Nan Qiao to come check on you again?"
Just as Uncle Fu turned to leave, Old Li called out, "Ah Fu, don’t go telling anyone yes."
Uncle Fu didn’t understand Old Li’s meaning but stayed nonetheless, approaching the bedside.
"Master, are you all right? Miss Nan Qiao is downstairs eating; if it’s really necessary, we can have her check on you after she’s finished," said Uncle Fu, his eyes reddening again.
He had lived his whole life without children, loyally by Old Li’s side for many years.
Old Li was his master, his friend, and even more, his family.
"Ah Fu, don’t worry, I can still live for a few more years. That little rascal wants to anger me to death, but he’s still too green!"
"You’re absolutely right, master. Meeting Miss Nan Qiao was a stroke of luck for you. As long as she’s here to treat you, no one can harm you."
Old Li chuckled heartily, then subconsciously closed his mouth.
Uncle Fu: ?
What situation could this be?
Why did he feel that the old man had something to say to him that he hadn’t yet?
"Old Li, if you want to laugh, just laugh. Why hold it back? What’s going on?"
Old Mr. Li lowered his voice and said, "Ah Fu, you should act like this later..."
Uncle Fu listened for a long time and finally understood.
Uncle Fu raised his thumb, "Brilliant, truly brilliant!"
Thinking that, Uncle Fu laughed again, "Old Li, you really do go to great lengths for the young master."
"If I don’t worry about him, I don’t think he’ll ever catch up to his bride in this lifetime."
The two of them exchanged a smile and waited for the next step in the plan.
...
Having finished eating, Nan Qiao planned to go home.
Uncle Fu came over anxiously, "Miss Nan Qiao, could you please not go back tonight? Our master is still in a coma, and if something unexpected happens midway, and you’re not here, I fear for old master..."
Saying this, Uncle Fu was almost in tears.
Li Yehan glanced at Uncle Fu and also nodded, "Uncle Fu is right. Qiaoqiao, you know the state of my grandpa’s health. If something really happened tonight, I would be very worried too."
Uncle Fu continued and started wiping his tears again, "Miss Nan Qiao, please stay for one night to see the old master’s condition. If something happens to him, I... I wouldn’t see the point in living anymore."
Li Yehan explained softly, "Uncle Fu has been through life and death with my grandpa for years. Qiaoqiao, can you please stay?"
Li Yehan’s intense gaze fixed on Nan Qiao. She looked at him and then at Uncle Fu, who was wiping away tears.
If she didn’t stay, Uncle Fu’s eyes might cry blind.
Nan Qiao could understand their feelings; who could calmly accept the departure of a loved one?
"Alright, I’ll call home." Nan Qiao’s heart softened in the end.
Nan Qiao took her cell phone and went outside to make a call. Uncle Fu visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
Li Yehan watched him, and Uncle Fu felt a shiver.
"Eldest Young Master, why are you continuously watching me? Is there something on my face?"
"I’m admiring your exquisite acting."
Uncle Fu: "..."
Uncle Fu was shocked!
"Eldest Young Master, is my acting not good? Is it that obvious? Did I fail to deceive Miss Nan Qiao?"
Li Yehan: "What do you think?"
Nan Qiao believed it, proving that Uncle Fu’s acting was indeed top-notch!
Li Yehan told Uncle Fu, "Get Qiaoqiao’s room ready properly."
Uncle Fu smiled, "I had someone clean it up before coming here. The bed linens are all new, and the room has been cleaned again, spotless. Her room is right next to yours so that you can look out for each other if needed."
Li Yehan’s lips curved up slightly, clearly very pleased.
...
After hearing about the situation from Nan Qiao, Chen Xinwan wanted to ask her to come back but couldn’t bring herself to be so cold-hearted and ruthless.
Grandpa Bai, hearing all this, looked to Bai Zhenyang, "Old Li really doesn’t have it easy. If it really comes down to it, let Qiaoqiao stay over for the night. I think, Ah, Old Li’s family doctor can be fired!"
Bai Zhenyang sighed and instructed, "Qiaoqiao, you stay over there for the night, and call us right away if anything happens. You have had it tough."
Nan Qiao: "I’ll go back first thing tomorrow morning. You all should also rest early."
Chen Xinwan made several more reminders before hanging up the phone, worried.
Bai Yurou sat to one side, hearing the course of events, and somewhat disagreed with the Bai Family’s approach.
Was Nan Qiao’s medical skill really that outstanding?
Bai Yurou felt that she must go to the Li Family!
This would be her chance to shine!
Bai Yurou spoke up, "Mom and Dad, why don’t you let me go to Grandpa Li’s house too? I’m a medical student and work at the hospital. Plus, with my sister’s outstanding medical skills, I can learn well from her and broaden my horizons, okay?"
