From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 112: You saved my life, what’s wrong with me spending some money on you?

Chapter 112: Chapter 112: You saved my life, what’s wrong with me spending some money on you?

Nan Qiao awoke to find Li Yehan’s silhouette absent from her side.

It was as if the kiss and embrace from last night were but illusions.

After getting up, washing up, and changing clothes, Nan Qiao went downstairs and found her family already eating breakfast.

Nan Qiao noticed that whenever she got up, that was when her family would have breakfast.

Bai Zhenyang, no matter how busy, would always join Nan Qiao for breakfast.

Chen Xinwan was even more of a given, always having breakfast with Nan Qiao.

Bai Yurou noticed that the family was making up to Nan Qiao by accompanying her for breakfast in the morning and waiting for her to join them for dinner in the evening.

She could only follow suit and dine with everyone.

When Nan Qiao sat down, Bai Yurou spoke, "Mom, I’m free today, let me accompany you to inspect the work, shall I?"

Chen Xinwan seemed surprised, "You don’t have to go to the hospital?"

"No need for now, Mom, let me join you. I’m so bored at home, doing nothing but shopping or reading books and watching TV. My sister has the company to keep her busy, but I have nothing."

Bai Yurou felt down but managed a forced smile, "Sister is working so hard, I also want to do my part and not hold everyone back."

Chen Xinwan exchanged a glance with Bai Zhenyang and said to her, "Okay, today you can accompany me."

Nan Qiao raised an eyebrow, thinking, does she want to try managing a company like I do?

Nan Qiao didn’t care, the companies were all owned by the Bai Family, they could give them to whomever they wanted.

...

On her way to work, Nan Qiao received a phone call.

"Qiaoqiao, I’m back with the things you needed. Meet at the usual place?"

Nan Qiao was excited and thrilled, "Yes, I’ll be there waiting for you now."

Nan Qiao drove over and arrived at a milk tea shop.

She ordered a cup of milk tea and sat waiting for her companion.

At that moment, Grandpa Li walked in.

"Qiaoqiao, it really is you! I thought it looked like you from outside, so I came over to make sure," Grandpa Li said, his eyes brimming with affection as he looked at Nan Qiao.

"Grandpa Li."

"Qiaoqiao, are you waiting for someone? It’s not Ye Han you’re waiting for, is it?" Grandpa Li asked with a smile tinged with hope, almost wishing Nan Qiao would nod in agreement next.

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao politely responded, "Grandpa Li, I’m here waiting for a friend, not Li Yehan."

"Right, you’re correct, you and Ye Han are more than friends; your relationship is on a whole different level."

Grandpa Li had a knowing look in his eyes, and Nan Qiao almost laughed out loud; Grandpa Li’s expression was as if he were indulging in shipping a favorite couple.

"Qiaoqiao, do you like the milk tea here? If you like it, I’ll buy the shop for you. Then, you can have milk tea anytime you want, how convenient."

Nan Qiao: "Grandpa Li, you’re too kind."

"It’s not about being kind; I’m serious. Qiaoqiao, just give your ID to Ah Fu, and I’ll have him handle it."

Grandpa Li looked up at Uncle Fu and said, "Ah Fu, buy this milk tea shop for Qiaoqiao."

Uncle Fu nodded, "Alright."

Nan Qiao was stunned; a milk tea shop gift from Grandpa Li seemed as simple as giving a cup of milk tea.

Did he really have so much money he couldn’t spend it all?

After checking his phone, Uncle Fu reported, "Sir, this milk tea shop is franchise-based. To acquire this shop, we’ll need to buy the entire brand."

Grandpa Li waved his hand dismissively: "Acquire it. With so much money, it would be bad if it went to waste. Buy it and put it in Qiaoqiao’s name."

Nan Qiao: "..."

"Grandpa Li, you really are too generous. Giving me such a gift, I feel I can’t repay you."

"Qiaoqiao dear, listen to yourself. As an elder, when you call me Grandpa, my gift signifies my regard for you. Besides, Ye Han is so fond of you, and it’s he who helps me earn all this money. Spending money on you, isn’t that the right thing to do?"

Nan Qiao wanted to object, but Grandpa Li didn’t give her the chance.

"Qiaoqiao, you said you saved my life. What’s the big deal about spending a bit of money? If you hadn’t saved me, would I even be alive to spend it?"

Nan Qiao: "..."

Alright, she had nothing more to say.

Saying more would seem like she was the one at fault.

"Grandpa Li, may you live a long and healthy life."

Grandpa Li nodded happily, "With Qiaoqiao’s well-wishing, if I could live another lifetime like this, I’d be content. To see Ye Han married and even holding great-grandchildren. Watching you all live well, I truly am satisfied."

Grandpa Li looked completely content, as if he had already seen such a future.

"Qiaoqiao, when does your family plan to hold a celebration for your exam success? You did so well, and I’m also happy for your grandfather."

Nan Qiao: "I don’t plan to make a big fuss, just having a meal with the family is good enough."

Grandpa Li laughed, "Don’t forget to invite me then, I want to join in."

"Grandpa Li, I will definitely invite you."

Grandpa Li was overjoyed, the more he looked at Nan Qiao, the more he liked her, wishing Li Yehan would marry her right then.

The two enjoyed a pleasant conversation until an old friend of Grandpa Li’s entered the milk tea shop and saw him.

"Old Li, you’re here too. I thought you didn’t have a sweet tooth?"

Grandpa Li didn’t even stand up but replied with a smile, "I don’t like it, but my granddaughter does."

"When did you have a granddaughter?"

Grandpa Li: "Just acknowledged her."

His friend chuckled, "Old Li, my granddaughter’s just sat for her high school exams, scored 650 points. We’ll be celebrating at my place in a few days."

Upon mentioning the score, his friend’s grin stretched ear to ear, but Grandpa Li merely glanced at him and calmly remarked, "Old Zhang, your granddaughter scored just over 600?"

Old Zhang: ? Isn’t a score of 600-plus a good thing? I’m contented with my granddaughter’s achievements.

Grandpa Li boasted proudly, "My granddaughter Qiaoqiao is this year’s top science prospect in the national college entrance exam. She’s simply too modest, wouldn’t even let me throw a celebration banquet. Otherwise, I would have definitely celebrated in style."

Old Zhang: "..."

Not only did he fail to show off, he got one-upped by Grandpa Li instead.

Old Zhang glanced at Nan Qiao and then back at Grandpa Li.

"Where did you acknowledge this granddaughter? How come I never heard you mention her? Is it for real?"

Grandpa Li, annoyed, "How could it be fake? My granddaughter is Nan Qiao, this year’s top science student. You may not know, but schools are going out of their way to enroll her. With her results and scores, prestigious universities are scrambling for her. Old Zhang, with your short hair and experience, you wouldn’t understand, but I get it."

Old Zhang: "..."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao couldn’t sit still from the excessive praise; she was accustomed to suppressive education, and this lavish praise was something new to adapt to.

Grandpa Li continued as he saw Nan Qiao’s shy demeanor, "Alright, go get your granddaughter some milk tea, top up my granddaughter’s revenue."

Old Zhang: "What do you mean?"

Grandpa Li: "I didn’t have much to do, so I bought this milk tea brand and gifted it to my granddaughter."

Old Zhang: "..."

Money really is capricious!

Grandpa Li continued, "Would you like to buy one for your granddaughter as well?"

Old Zhang: Can’t compete, truly can’t compete.

He sat down, staring in disbelief, "Is she really your granddaughter? Could it be that she’s Ye Han’s wife?"
