Chapter 124: Chapter 124: Discovering Nan Qiao’s Secret Identity

Nan Qiao looked at her with indifference and asked, "Bai Yurou, what do you mean by that? What have I done to you?"

"You came out of the dean’s office, didn’t you? Were you the one who asked to have me disqualified from the competition?"

"Bai Yurou, you really ought to consider writing novels with an imagination like that. Who told you that I influenced the dean’s decision? Is the hospital mine to dictate what happens?"

Bai Yurou looked slightly taken aback, then regained her composure.

She quickly realized that she had been too impulsive.

After all, Nan Qiao was just a child from a humble background and not favored by the Zhou Family, so what capability could she possibly have?

Bai Yurou’s anger softened in an instant, and somewhat embarrassed, she forced a smile and said, "Sister, I’m sorry. I spoke without thinking."

With an unchanged indifferent expression, Nan Qiao looked at her and said, "You competed today. Did you lose?"

Bai Yurou: "..."

The fact that Bai Yurou couldn’t deny what Nan Qiao had just said meant that sooner or later, the Bai Family would hear about the competition outcome.

With an awkward expression, Bai Yurou said, "Yes, I was going to ask the dean what really happened."

"You’re questioning the dean because you’re dissatisfied with the hospital? Weren’t there leaders from the hospital present at the competition? If they’ve denied your capabilities, do you think challenging the dean will change the outcome?"

Bai Yurou calmed down, realizing her actions had been improper.

"Sister, did you have something to discuss with the dean?"

"It’s personal. Since you’re here to see the dean, I’ll get going." Nan Qiao passed Bai Yurou and left.

Nan Qiao’s serene poise puzzled Bai Yurou, who eventually entered the dean’s office.

Before Bai Yurou could speak, the dean said with a smile, "Bai Yurou, your performance in the competition was indeed unsatisfactory. You should go back to school and study for another two years. Don’t worry about work; you’re still young, and there are plenty of opportunities ahead of you."

Bai Yurou: "..."

Was this an indirect way of asking her to leave?

Not wanting to miss this opportunity, Bai Yurou argued her case, "Dean, I wasn’t feeling well today, that’s why I made mistakes, but usually, I’m not like this. Please, give me another chance."

The dean’s smile faded, and he said with displeasure, "What do you take the hospital for? Is the work here determined by your mood every day? If everyone acted like you, could the patients receive proper care?"

Bai Yurou felt humiliated by the reprimand, and her emotions grew more volatile.

Having lost the chance to stay at the hospital, how would she face others?

Her eyes cold with anger, Bai Yurou stormed out.

The dean watched her leave, shaking his head helplessly.

The phone rang, and the dean answered after seeing the number.

"Brother Bai, what brings you to call me today? Are you inquiring about your granddaughter’s competition results?"

Grandpa Bai responded with a laugh, "Yes, how did Yurou do in the competition?"

"Brother Bai, to be frank, Bai Yurou’s performance wasn’t ideal and she made mistakes. So, I’ve dismissed her, and when the semester starts, she should return to school and study more. She’s your granddaughter; even if she doesn’t work in the future, she’ll be fine."

Grandpa Bai hadn’t expected Bai Yurou’s skills to be so lacking that she couldn’t even pass a basic competition.

"You’re absolutely right, and I appreciate your impartial handling," Grandpa Bai said, relieved.

He had always felt that Nan Qiao’s return was timely, having saved his spouse just in time.

If Bai Yurou continued to look after their grandmother in the hospital, who knew what might have happened?

Grandpa Bai said with a smile, "I have another granddaughter with exceptional medical skills, far surpassing Yurou."

His precious granddaughter Qiaoqiao was no less than a Divine Doctor.

The dean became intrigued, "Aren’t you supposed to have only one granddaughter?"

"Yurou was switched at birth with my real granddaughter, Nan Qiao, who has now returned home. Her medical skills are superb. My spouse’s health has improved a lot, thanks to her."

The dean was stunned, "Nan Qiao?"

Was it the same person?

The special judge invited today was also named Nan Qiao!

Since Nan Qiao had warned him to keep this a secret, the dean could do nothing but swallow this information, unable to tell Grandpa Bai.

"Your granddaughter is truly amazing; it’s fortunate that you found her. Her medical skills will certainly help your wife recover," the dean said.

Grandpa Bai cheerfully agreed, firmly believing in Nan Qiao’s medical skills.

After hanging up the phone, the dean felt conflicted.

Keeping such a significant secret was truly exhilarating!

It had to be said, Brother Bai was truly blessed to have such a talented granddaughter.

...

As Nan Qiao left the hospital, Li Yehan’s car was parked at the entrance, and the man inside had a face that Nan Qiao couldn’t ignore.

"Why are you here?" She hoped Li Yehan wasn’t following her.

"What are you thinking? I’m not stalking you. My secretary was here to collect a medical report and saw you," he replied.

Nan Qiao: "..."

Li Yehan had six secretaries in total. Secretary Zhao was the chief secretary, and he directly managed the remaining five.

All six secretaries had seen Nan Qiao and knew how important she was to Li Yehan.

The fifth secretary, upon seeing Nan Qiao at the hospital, took a photo to send to Li Yehan with a message: "Mr. Li, is this Mrs. Li?"

Li Yehan promptly doubled the fifth secretary’s monthly bonus and drove to the hospital to wait for Nan Qiao.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Nan Qiao listened as Li Yehan spoke about the fifth secretary’s message, leaving her utterly shocked.

"He’s not your secretary; he’s your intelligence team, isn’t he?"

It was too much of a coincidence to encounter him at the hospital.

Li Yehan chuckled and drove Nan Qiao to a nearby restaurant for dinner.

Nan Qiao followed him inside, then asked again, puzzled, "How did you know I hadn’t eaten?"

"The secretary mentioned you bought a bottle of water and took out a biscuit from your bag."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Only someone capable of being Li Yehan’s secretary would observe with such detail, even guessing she hadn’t eaten.

Li Yehan ordered a table full of delicious, home-style dishes that Nan Qiao loved.

"Try this; the secretary said the food here is good, very homey."

Nan Qiao picked up her chopsticks, took a bite of the fish-flavored eggplant, and found it delightful. Her chopsticks next reached for the sweet and sour ribs, followed by a sip of seafood soup.

After eating three bowls of rice and a bowl of soup, Nan Qiao felt comfortably full.

"Your secretary did a good job; the food at this restaurant is quite delicious," she couldn’t help but praise.

Li Yehan smiled, his gaze affectionate and warm, "As long as you enjoy the food, we can come here again."

After their satisfying meal, as Nan Qiao was preparing to leave, Li Yehan grasped her hand, "You can’t go just yet, I’m taking you somewhere else."

It was four o’clock in the afternoon, and Nan Qiao still wanted to return to work.

"Where to? I still have unfinished work today."
