Chapter 176: Big Brother is Back

Chapter 176: Chapter 176: Big Brother is Back

Zhou Family.

Three members of the Zhou family were seated around the dining table, with only three dishes on the table, all of which were vegetarian.

Liu Yanfang frowned and exclaimed, "Xiao Liu, what kind of dishes did you make? There is not even a hint of meat!"

Xiao Liu came over, "Madam, it’s not that I didn’t make it, but there are no vegetables left at home. The master said to cut down on expenses and make do with what we have. We don’t need to buy vegetables today."

Liu Yanfang: ??

"Old Zhou, what do you mean? Are you expecting us to starve?"

Zhou Hongqi said, "You still have the nerve to ask? Have you cobbled together a billion yet? We’re out of money and everything needs money; we’ll just have to make do with these dishes!"

Zhou Jingya, looking pitifully miserable, said, "It’s all my fault. If it weren’t for me, our family wouldn’t have been blackmailed by Nan Qiao for a billion. It’s all my fault. Maybe if we send me away, it would appease Nan Qiao, and she might not demand a billion from our family."

Zhou Hongqi bellowed furiously, "You admit it’s your fault! Could our family live like this if it wasn’t for you? It’s all your doing! If you hadn’t provoked Nan Qiao, making her unhappy, would we have to pay a billion in compensation?"

Liu Yanfang retorted, "Zhou Hongqi, what nonsense are you spouting! It’s clear that Nan Qiao is being unreasonable, insisting on suing Xiao Ya. What does Xiao Ya have to do with this!"

Zhou Hongqi said, "Liu Yanfang, you must produce one billion in compensation by noon tomorrow. We’re still fifty million short. If you can’t produce the fifty million, be prepared to send your Xiao Ya to prison."

Liu Yanfang grabbed Zhou Hongqi’s arm, "Old Zhou, think of something. Xiao Ya has just returned to our side. Can you really just watch and do nothing if Xiao Ya gets into trouble?"

Zhou Jingya knelt on the ground, crying in agony, "Dad, it’s all my fault. Please, just help me this once. With my scandal exposed, it’s embarrassing for you too."

Liu Yanfang said, "Xiao Ya is a disgrace, how can you look good? Hurry up and think of a solution, sell some company shares, or even sell properties and shops under your name."

Zhou Hongqi sighed continuously—what other choice did he have?

Over the years, the properties he acquired were all thanks to Nan Qiao’s capabilities.

Zhou Hongqi calculated the timeline, and it was precisely now.

...

When Chen Xinwan walked downstairs, she saw a very beautiful dress in the living room.

It was styled in a New Chinese fashion, yet infused with modern elements, capturing Chen Xinwan’s full attention.

"What a beautiful dress," Chen Xinwan sincerely admired.

Nan Qiao stood up and walked over, smiling. "Mom, I designed this dress just for you, it’s one of a kind. Try it on, I’m not sure if the size will fit."

Chen Xinwan, excitedly holding Nan Qiao’s hand and with eyes full of maternal love, exclaimed, "If Qiaoqiao designed it, it must be perfect for me. Qiaoqiao, I’m going to try it on right now."

Chen Xinwan couldn’t wait to wear the dress Nan Qiao had designed for her.

Chen Xinwan went to the guest room on the first floor to try on the dress, and Bai Yurou stepped out of the elevator, casting a displeased glance at Nan Qiao.

"Sister, you really know how to win people over."

Nan Qiao, sitting on the sofa with a calm demeanour, replied, "Unlike you who excel in flattery, I always do things sincerely."

Bai Yurou (•́へ•́╬)

Just then, a man’s voice came from outside.

"Yurou."

Bai Yurou turned around and saw Bai Jingting appear, and she ran over joyfully, clasping his arm. "Big Brother, you’re back. Big Brother, I missed you so much. Big Brother, I’m so happy."

Nan Qiao watched the man who walked in, his features delicate and his eyes gentle.

Bai Jingting also looked at Nan Qiao, a trace of surprise crossing his eyes then a slight curve formed on his lips, looking back at Nan Qiao with equally tender eyes and a slight smile.

Nan Qiao, dressed in a long white dress with her hair naturally spread out, was pure and beautiful.

Bai Jingting never expected his own sister to be so beautiful—she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Uncle Wang and Liu Feng, carrying quite a few items, walked over with joyful smiles on their faces.

Liu Feng: "Miss, the Eldest Young Master bought you quite a few gifts; Uncle Wang and I moved them here."

Uncle Wang: "Miss, the Eldest Young Master really dotes on you. The gifts he bought are all things that girls like, he’s really thoughtful."

Bai Jingting said, "I also bought you clothes. I’ve alerted the people at Huai Xi to work overtime to complete them; they haven’t been delivered yet."

Nan Qiao: ??

That sentence sounds so familiar.

Just as Nan Qiao was about to ask Bai Jingting if he was the generous customer from last night,

Chen Xinwan, now changed into her new clothes, came out.

Chen Xinwan had even asked a servant to style her hair, securing it with a hairpin.

Combined with the clothes Nan Qiao gave her, she looked graceful and elegant.

"Boss, you’re back. Look, this is the dress your sister designed and made for me; it’s the only one in the world!" Chen Xinwan boasted.

Although Bai Yurou didn’t like Nan Qiao, she had to admit that the dress looked really good and suited Chen Xinwan well.

Bai Jingting was somewhat puzzled: "Sister designs clothes?"

Chen Xinwan nodded and proudly said, "Of course, your sister is the renowned designer Huai Xi. Boss, you see? Your sister is truly outstanding. She manages the company well and designs beautiful clothes. She has a good personality and lots of talents. I can’t even list them all."

Bai Jingting: "..."

Nan Qiao, smiling, asked, "You wouldn’t happen to be the customer who called last night to order clothes?"

Bai Jingting didn’t want to admit it, but he had to.

It was not a good first impression to make on his sister.

Chen Xinwan, oblivious, exclaimed in surprise, "Boss, you really have an eye for quality. A Huai Xi product guarantees excellence."

Bai Jingting awkwardly said, "Sister, I didn’t know Huai Xi was you. I was just trying to get the clothes to you quickly, so I paid extra to have them work overtime to make twenty pieces. Sorry."

Chen Xinwan immediately became upset: "Boss, how could you do that? Even if your sister wasn’t Huai Xi, you shouldn’t have made such unreasonable demands! Even with sewing machines running at full speed, you can’t expect dozens of dresses designed in such a short time."

Bai Jingting: "It’s my fault."

Bai Jingting, smiling, said, "I’ve asked my assistant to request Master Shan Shui to paint something. Sister, once Master Shan Shui has finished the painting, I will make it up to you."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Is my brother taking issue with my pseudonym?

Nan Qiao, smiling politely, said, "Thank you, brother, you’ve already given me so many gifts. You don’t need to bother with the painting, but thank you."

"I heard from Lao San that you really like paintings, especially those by Master Shan Shui. The painting is just a small token of my affection. We’re family; there’s no need to be so polite."

Seeing Bai Jingting getting along so well with Nan Qiao made Bai Yurou uneasy.

"Big brother, what about my gift? You wouldn’t have forgotten your old sister now that you have a new one, would you?"

Bai Jingting took a box out of his pocket: "Haven’t you always wanted this necklace? I bought it for you."

A necklace worth six hundred thousand, of course, Bai Yurou liked it.

But comparing Bai Jingting’s gift to her with what he gave Nan Qiao made her unhappy.

Bai Yurou couldn’t afford to show her displeasure and just smiled as she accepted it: "Thank you, big brother, you are really good to me."

"Big brother, I made you some soup; try my cooking skills."

Bai Yurou pulled Bai Jingting away, not wanting him to continue talking to Nan Qiao.

Big brother was hers, and this house belongs to her, Bai Yurou!

There was no way Bai Jingting could refuse to drink this soup she had meticulously made!
