From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 108: Does it not bother you to be squeezed like this?

Chapter 108: Chapter 108: Does it not bother you to be squeezed like this?

Nan Qiao stood to one side, listening to Bai Jingrui speak to Zhou Jingya, and she couldn’t help but let out a snort of laughter.

Zhou Jingya hadn’t expected Bai Jingrui to speak to her like that.

"How can you talk like that? My voice is just like this. How can you attack my voice?" Zhou Jingya was about to cry as she finished speaking.

Nan Qiao took out her phone and played a recording: "Nan Qiao, let me tell you, I am the true young miss of the Zhou Family. If you were picked up by the wrong family, that’s your mistake! I will definitely drive you out!"

The voice in the recording was fierce and strong, a stark contrast to Zhou Jingya’s current voice.

Nan Qiao spoke out coldly, "Zhou Jingya, do you want me to keep playing this so everyone can hear your voice?"

Bai Jingrui remarked, "How can you stand it, being pinched like that?"

Nan Qiao said to Bai Jingrui, "Let’s go over there."

Nan Qiao led Bai Jingrui towards the area where Tang Yongshan was, while Zhou Jingya glared furiously at Nan Qiao’s receding figure.

Lu Zhengyang watched as Nan Qiao and Bai Jingrui walked away and quickly approached Zhou Jingya.

"Xiao Ya, how did your conversation go? What exactly is her relationship with Mr. Li?"

Zhou Jingya remained silent.

Her emotions would go out of control whenever she saw Nan Qiao, and she had forgotten to ask.

"I asked, but she didn’t tell me the truth. Instead, she’s getting along like a house on fire with the man next to her, calling each other brother and sister very affectionately."

Lu Zhengyang’s brows furrowed deeply as he cautioned, "Let it be for now, let’s discuss this outside. This is Master Tang’s place, so let’s stay calm."

Zhou Jingya nodded, "Brother Zhengyang, I’ll listen to you."

Having finally arrived at this place to meet various big shots, Zhou Jingya wanted to put on an appearance of being weak and helpless.

...

Tang Yongshan was meeting with Grandpa Bai, the two of them old friends.

"Old Tang, you look quite sharp in the outfit you’re wearing today, very sprightly," Grandpa Bai complimented.

Tang Yongshan replied, "Thanks for the compliment, Brother Bai, but what you say is true. This is an outfit made by my apprentice, and I like it very much. You have no idea, my apprentice, so many talents, so many merits you can’t count them all."

Grandpa Bai: "..."

"Brother Bai, don’t you believe what I’m saying?" Tang Yongshan stared at him and asked.

Grandpa Bai cleared his throat and smiled, "Why wouldn’t I? Of course, I believe you, especially since my granddaughter is also excellent, with countless merits."

Tang Yongshan couldn’t believe there could be someone with more merits than his good apprentice Qiaoqiao.

He was unaware of Nan Qiao’s return to the Bai Family; he only knew that his beloved apprentice had found her birth parents and was living there.

As for who those parents were or what their names were, he was entirely clueless.

Both men locked eyes, caught in a silent competition.

"Your granddaughter? I remember your granddaughter wasn’t quite so outstanding."

Bai Yurou: I’d really be thankful.

Grandpa Bai spoke with a smile, "Not her, my true granddaughter. Bai Yurou was switched at birth; she’s not my blood granddaughter."

Tang Yongshan: "??"

This gossip was new to him.

Tang Yongshan asked, "Your granddaughter only just came back, and you’ve already found out she has so many merits?"

Grandpa Bai nodded with a smile, "Indeed, my granddaughter is not only beautiful and capable, but she also has medical skills, design talents, and can manage a company. Most importantly, she’s excellent at studying!"

Tang Yongshan was dumbstruck — this sounded all too familiar.

He continued, "My apprentice is also this year’s top scholar in the college entrance exam!"

Grandpa Bai: "What? Isn’t that my granddaughter?"

Tang Yongshan: "Brother Bai, what do you mean? Your granddaughter is this year’s top scholar?"

Grandpa Bai: "Yes, Qiaoqiao is my granddaughter."

Tang Yongshan and Grandpa Bai once again exchanged perplexed looks.

Bai Jingrui brought Nan Qiao over.

"Grandpa, little sister is here too," Bai Jingrui announced happily.

Tang Yongshan and Grandpa Bai turned their heads simultaneously to see Nan Qiao standing beside Bai Jingrui, and they both looked at each other intently.

"She’s your granddaughter?"

"She’s your apprentice?"

This question also made Bai Jingrui, who had taken off his mask, freeze in place.

What’s going on?

"Apprentice? You mean my sister is your apprentice?"

Bai Jingrui stared dumbfounded, blinking incessantly as he looked at Nan Qiao, shocked by her identity.

"Sister, you are Master Shan Shui? You’re the talented apprentice of Master Tang?" Bai Jingrui touched his chest, feeling he needed a moment to calm down.

He had just told Nan Qiao he had bought a painting by Master Shan Shui for her.

But now, was it possible Master Shan Shui was Nan Qiao herself?

Nan Qiao had not expected her pseudonym to be stripped away in such a manner.

The conversation between Tang Yongshan and Grandpa Bai had exposed one of her alter egos, an outcome she had never anticipated.

Grandpa Bai was too shaken to speak, and the astonishment in his eyes made Nan Qiao feel a bit awkward.

"Qiaoqiao, you haven’t told the family about your identity yet."

Nan Qiao nodded awkwardly, "Not yet."

Tang Yongshan was taken aback, feeling embarrassed that he had exposed Nan Qiao’s secret identity.

He had heard from Grandpa Bai about a granddaughter brimming with talent and had been somewhat skeptical, which led him to boast about his apprentice.

Coincidentally, Nan Qiao’s biological grandfather turned out to be his Brother Bai.

The Bai Family was still unaware of Nan Qiao’s other personas.

"Qiaoqiao, are you the apprentice Old Tang mentioned? Are you also Master Shan Shui?" Grandpa Bai was both excited and shocked.

Bai Jingrui had yet to recover from the shock and struggled to speak.

Tang Yongshan, like a child who had done something wrong, felt too embarrassed to face Nan Qiao.

With things having come to this point, it was not like Nan Qiao would blame Tang Yongshan.

"Master’s right, I am indeed his apprentice, and my artistic pseudonym is Shan Shui."

Bai Jingrui excitedly grabbed Nan Qiao’s arm, the thrill in his eyes hard to contain.

"Sister, you’re really amazing! You have kept such a deep secret! If it weren’t for Grandpa Tang telling us, we would never have dared to imagine it."

Bai Jingrui’s idol was his own sister?

Grandpa Bai wore a proud expression, quite shocked himself.

Nan Qiao was also a painter, and his granddaughter was just too outstanding!

Tang Yongshan could no longer bring himself to speak, fearing he might reveal any other secret identities Nan Qiao had.

Grandpa Bai reassured warmly, "Old Tang, you don’t have to worry, it’s not a bad thing that we now know. Qiaoqiao being so outstanding makes me, her grandfather, proud and honored."

Bai Jingrui added, "Yeah, my sister being so amazing is a matter of pride for me! Sister, you truly are my idol!"

Nan Qiao felt quite embarrassed by the compliments.

"I’ll tell the family about my being Shan Shui when I get back." Since her cover was blown, might as well tell Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan.

As Nan Qiao spoke these words, they were also heard by Li Yehan, who had come over.

So, the painting he spent a billion on — was it drawn by Nan Qiao herself?

Nan Qiao felt a heated gaze on her back, and as she turned around, her inquiring eyes collided with Li Yehan’s.
