Chapter 107: Chapter 107: Nan Qiao didn’t hesitate to break free from Li Yehan

Nan Qiao realized only upon arriving at the event that it wasn’t a real art exhibition; it felt more like a gathering for the wealthy.

"Li Yehan, you should go in by yourself, being with you feels like being a monkey, constantly on display for people to gawk at."

Without hesitation, Nan Qiao let go of Li Yehan’s arm and walked to the side.

Li Yehan: ?

Had Qiaoqiao just abandoned him?

Just like that?

Li Yehan was about to call out Nan Qiao’s name when a beautiful figure approached him.

"Brother, it’s been a long time."

Li Xia came over with a smile, her eyes brimming with little stars, only for Li Yehan.

Li Yehan furrowed his brows and, just as Li Xia was about to grab his arm, he sidestepped and stood aside.

Li Xia’s hand grasped at nothing.

She looked at her empty palm, her gaze filled with disappointment.

As she lifted her head, her watery eyes were filled with sadness and grievance.

With a smile, Li Xia said, "Brother, you’re here too. I’m so happy to see you here."

Li Yehan didn’t even glance at Li Xia and went straight to speak with Grandpa Bai.

This was Qiaoqiao’s own grandfather; he had to take the initiative to talk.

Li Xia’s expression turned dismal; she hadn’t expected Li Yehan to still be so cold.

On second thought, Li Yehan was like that with everyone, the same attitude he had toward her was quite good, at least it wasn’t more cruel.

Convincing herself, Li Xia joined the other young ladies and walked into the exhibition hall.

The art exhibition was inside; this area was for entering, where people chatted just here.

The exhibition couldn’t be this noisy — it would be disgraceful.

When Zhou Jingya and Lu Zhengyang came out, Nan Qiao had already left Li Yehan’s side and witnessed Li Yehan looking at Li Xia with disdain before going to talk to Grandpa Bai.

Zhou Jingya’s eyes were glued to the scene; wasn’t this the man who had defended Nan Qiao that day?

Lu Zhengyang was also stunned; was this Mr. Li?

Impossible!

Lu Zhengyang didn’t want to admit that he had smashed his own rice bowl. He looked at Zhou Jingya beside him.

"Is he Mr. Li? The Li Family’s head, Li Yehan?" Lu Zhengyang asked accusingly.

Zhou Jingya, taken aback, snapped back to reality and met Lu Zhengyang’s sharp gaze, getting frightened.

"Brother Zhengyang, why are you looking at me like that?"

"That day in the mall, did you do it on purpose? You knew Mr. Li’s identity and still let me speak ill!"

Zhou Jingya shook her head in denial: "How could that be! Brother Zhengyang, you are my boyfriend, I only wish for your well-being, how could I wish for you to get in trouble! It’s all Nan Qiao’s fault, she purposely wants to trap us, to stir up trouble between you and me!"

Lu Zhengyang, looking at the imposing Li Yehan surrounded by those rich and powerful elites.

Any one of them was out of Lu Zhengyang’s reach.

They were all people he couldn’t hope to curry favor with, all of them appeasing Li Yehan while Lu Zhengyang’s pride felt trampled underfoot.

"Brother Zhengyang, my parents are quite fond of Nan Qiao, I’ll go find her in a bit to probe for some information."

Lu Zhengyang: "She’s here too?"

Zhou Jingya nodded and pointed Lu Zhengyang in a direction.

Looking over, Lu Zhengyang was captivated by Nan Qiao’s presence.

Nan Qiao was talking with Bai Jingrui, who was smiling with the corners of his mouth turned up, his eyes showing extra doting.

Zhou Jingya couldn’t see Bai Jingrui’s face; he was wearing a mask, terrified of being recognized.

Zhou Jingya felt a pang of jealousy, her voice also betrayed her envy of Nan Qiao, "I really didn’t expect that wherever I go, I run into Nan Qiao’s lover. Brother Zhengyang, she is really dirty."

Lu Zhengyang came back to his senses but did not respond to Zhou Jingya.

"Xiao Ya, go over there and find out what’s going on. What exactly is Nan Qiao’s relationship with Li Yehan, and can she really speak in front of him?"

"Okay, Brother Zhengyang, I’ll go right now. I’m willing to do whatever I can to help you."

Zhou Jingya kept turning her head toward Lu Zhengyang as she walked, her eyes filled with passionate longing, as if she were heading to her execution.

At this moment, Nan Qiao had not yet noticed Zhou Jingya and Lu Zhengyang’s unwillingness to part; she was being pulled into a conversation by Bai Jingrui.

"My sister, I didn’t expect to see you here, do you also admire Master Tang Yongshan? Do you like his works?"

Nan Qiao: "I..."

"My sister, even if you don’t say it, I know you definitely like it. You like Master Tang Yongshan’s paintings so much, you must also like Master Shan Shui’s paintings, right?"

Nan Qiao, feeling awkward: "I like them."

She was Shan Shui; how could she not like her own creations?

"My sister, seeing how much you like them, I’ll buy a few more paintings for you later. I really love Master Shan Shui’s paintings; she is my idol."

"There’s really no need," Nan Qiao grabbed Bai Jingrui’s arm.

"I already have several of her works, there’s no need to buy more. You like them, I’ll give you a few paintings later."

Bai Jingrui shocked.jpg.

Nan Qiao: ??

What was that expression on Bai Jingrui’s face?

Bai Jingrui, holding Nan Qiao’s hand, excitedly said, "Sister, I had no idea you were so good to me, thinking of me in everything. Sister, you being so kind to me, I am really so happy!"

Nan Qiao: "..."

She was just giving Bai Jingrui a gift, and he could be this happy?

Couldn’t Bai Jingrui be a comedian?

Confronted with this doubt, Nan Qiao continued, "I’m just giving you a gift, why are you so excited?"

Bai Jingrui: "Of course I’m happy, my sister likes me so much, when those two come back, they will definitely be extremely envious of me. Sister, you have to promise me, among the three brothers, you can only like me the most, your third brother."

Nan Qiao couldn’t help but smile and cry at the same time; Bai Jingrui indeed had a talent for comedy.

"Sister." An irksome voice came from behind, ruining Nan Qiao’s mood instantly.

Zhou Jingya was also able to attend the exhibition, which was astonishing.

Zhou Jingya came forward, smiling, the corners of her lips raised, her eyes filled with surprise: "Sister, I didn’t expect to see you here; what a surprise."

Bai Jingrui really disliked Zhou Jingya looking at his sister with such a gaze, as if looking down on someone!

"What’s so surprising? My sister attending an art exhibition is just the most mundane everyday occurrence, isn’t it?"

Zhou Jingya, left dumbfounded by the retort, wondered who this man wearing a mask was.

Who was he, defending Nan Qiao like this?

"Who are you?" Zhou Jingya asked unhappily.

Bai Jingrui: "Can’t you understand human speech? Didn’t you hear me say she’s my sister? If she’s my sister, wouldn’t I be her third brother?"

Zhou Jingya: !!

Where did this guy come from, showing no mercy or tenderness to women?

"Sister, I really didn’t expect that after leaving our Zhou Family you would still socialize with so many men. But I wonder if this little brother in front of you knows about your rich past?"

Hearing Zhou Jingya speak gave Bai Jingrui a headache, especially since she dared to insult Nan Qiao, it was like lighting a lantern in the loo, looking for shit (death)!

Bai Jingrui shot back: "Can’t you speak clearly? If you really can’t, go to the hospital and get that checked out. Can’t even speak properly and yet you still have the face to come out and embarrass yourself?"
