From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 180: What Secrets is Bai Yurou Hiding?

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: What Secrets is Bai Yurou Hiding?

Before the Bai Family could ask further, Nan Qiao had already started to explain the entire situation.

"At that time, I nearly died from my illness, when my master discovered me while he was gathering herbs, and he took me back with him. Master discovered that I had a talent for medicine, and I also loved medical studies, so he took me on as his last disciple and passed on all of his medical knowledge to me generously."

Grandpa Bai suddenly understood and felt distressed about Nan Qiao’s experiences.

"If it hadn’t been for the mix-up when you were a baby, you wouldn’t have had to endure so much suffering."

Nan Qiao smiled and said, "It’s all in the past now, and I’m very fortunate to have met my master. He was very good to me and treated me as his own granddaughter."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Bai quickly said, "It’s good that you’re back. I am your real grandfather. Qiaoqiao, come to my place later; I have quite a few collectibles for you to see. Whatever you like, Grandpa will give it to you."

This was his precious granddaughter, after all. Tang Helin was only Nan Qiao’s surrogate grandfather, not a blood relative.

Seeing Grandpa Bai act like this, Bai Jingting couldn’t help but want to laugh.

When had Grandpa ever cared so much for a younger member of the family?

Even among the three brothers, they had never seen Grandpa Bai so fond.

Now, looking at Nan Qiao, his eyes were full of affection, afraid that she wouldn’t call him Grandpa.

Bai Jingting’s eyes softened, and he said with a smile, "Yurou, why don’t you let Qiaoqiao take your pulse. Qiaoqiao was Master Tang Helin’s disciple and has superb medical skills. She will definitely be able to find the cause of your illness."

Bai Yurou’s heart trembled slightly, and she declined with a smile, "It’s not necessary to bother my sister. I will go to the hospital for a full body checkup later. Even with my sister’s exceptional medical skills, she can’t do a full body checkup for me. I don’t feel like eating anymore; I’ll go to the hospital now."

Bai Jingting stood up, "I’ll take you there."

Bai Yurou waved her hand, "Big brother, there’s no need. You haven’t finished your meal, and the company has a lot of business to take care of; I don’t want to bother you."

Bai Yurou didn’t listen to what anyone else was saying and left as quickly as she could.

Seeing her like this, Bai Jingting was worried.

"I’ll have a look. Yurou seems to be in pain," Bai Jingting said as he stood up and went out.

Nan Qiao wasn’t upset; Bai Jingting had been with Bai Yurou for eighteen years and their bond was much deeper than hers.

"Big brother, go quickly. Sister Yurou seemed to be in a lot of discomfort. We can all rest assured if you go with her for the checkup."

Seeing how understanding Nan Qiao was, Bai Jingting suddenly felt a bit embarrassed.

He had just met his real sister, and here he was, in front of her, concerned about Bai Yurou. It was somewhat inappropriate.

Nan Qiao noticed Bai Jingting’s hesitation and said with a smile in her eyes, "Big brother, Yurou has been with you for eighteen years, and she definitely has feelings for you. It’s perfectly normal for you to care for her. I’m not that petty; hurry and go."

The more Nan Qiao said this, the more embarrassed Bai Jingting felt.

Nan Qiao stood up, "Big brother, let me go with you. Yurou is our sister, and I’m also worried she’s upset about me coming back. If she’s not feeling well, my extra concern will surely be felt sincerely by sister Yurou."

Nan Qiao’s empathy made Bai Jingting feel ashamed.

"Okay, Qiaoqiao, let’s go together."

Nan Qiao stood up, said goodbye to the family, and went out with Bai Jingting.

Grandpa Bai nodded with satisfaction, "This girl Qiaoqiao is really too kind. Yurou is too strong-willed, sensitive at heart, and prone to overthink. If Qiaoqiao weren’t so broad-minded, our Bai Family’s days wouldn’t be so harmonious."

Bai Zhenyang replied, "Dad, rest assured, we all love Qiaoqiao dearly. She is my daughter; if I don’t dote on her, who would I dote on?"

Grandpa Bai confessed, "I’ve always felt that Yurou doesn’t quite fit with our Bai Family. When I spoke my thoughts, you all got angry. Now do you see? This is your real daughter. Yurou’s personality is not at all like that of our Bai Family members."

Chen Xinwan and Bai Zhenyang exchanged glances, not daring to say much.

The old man had keen eyes; he could see clearly.

...

Bai Yurou sat next to Nan Qiao, feeling her skin crawl with goosebumps.

She silently moved a bit to the side, and Nan Qiao turned her head, looking at her and constantly smiling.

Bai Yurou: "..."

Bai Yurou was panic-stricken, her gaze shifting towards Bai Jingting, who sat in the passenger seat.

"Brother, I can go to the hospital by myself. You and sister should go on with your business."

Nan Qiao: "Yurou, if you’re feeling unwell, you must see a doctor promptly. Once your brother and I are sure you’re okay, we can focus on work."

Bai Yurou’s heart was in turmoil. She was afraid that if Nan Qiao accompanied her to the hospital, her secret would be discovered.

Bai Yurou racked her brain, trying to figure out how to stop Nan Qiao from going to the hospital with her.

As if to add to her problems, Bai Jingting agreed with Nan Qiao’s suggestion: "Yurou, let Qiaoqiao join us. She’s a doctor and her medical skills are excellent. After the examination, Qiaoqiao can help us understand the results."

At this moment, Bai Yurou wanted nothing more than to jump out of the car.

But she couldn’t; the car doors were locked, impossible to open.

...

Arriving at the hospital, Bai Yurou spotted someone mentioned in the investigation documents—Zheng Qinnian.

Zheng Qinnian was Nan Qiao’s man!

Having Zheng Qinnian examine her was like a lamb walking into the mouth of a tiger!

Bai Yurou, clutching her stomach, said to Bai Jingting: "Brother, I want to go to the restroom. My stomach hurts."

Bai Yurou rushed into the restroom and began to contemplate her next move.

Outside, a man was talking to Zheng Qinnian.

"Proceed according to the plan I gave you."

Zheng Qinnian nodded: "Everything is prepared; we’re just waiting for her to come over."

Zheng Qinnian was also curious whether Nan Qiao’s suspicions were true. He was too intrigued.

...

Fifteen minutes later, Bai Yurou still hadn’t emerged.

Nan Qiao was stunned. Had Bai Yurou fallen in?

"I’ll go check."

Nan Qiao entered, only to find the place completely empty; there was no sign of Bai Yurou.

Nan Qiao came out and said: "There’s no sign of Yurou inside. It’s completely empty."

Bai Jingting: "I’ll call her to see if something has happened."

The moment Bai Jingting picked up his phone, Bai Yurou called him.

Bai Jingting immediately answered, and Yurou’s crying voice came through: "Brother, did you and sister come with me because I have a terminal illness? Sob sob sob, I don’t want to be examined; I just want to be alone. You don’t have to lie to me. If I need an examination, I’ll go to the hospital by myself. Don’t try to deceive me."

Bai Jingting: "Yurou, calm down a bit. Qiaoqiao and I are very concerned about you. Don’t think too much and come back here quickly."

Bai Yurou: "I’m not coming back; I want some time alone. Don’t worry about me; I just want to be by myself for a while. Brother, you should go back to work at the company."

Bai Yurou hung up the phone, and Nan Qiao was completely dumbfounded—she really did run away!

Nan Qiao and Zheng Qinnian exchanged glances, both understanding that the plan had fallen through.

Nan Qiao said, "Brother, perhaps Yurou really does need some time alone. Let’s not pressure her to come."

Bai Jingting nodded: "I’ll call her again later."

Nan Qiao’s phone rang, and Rong Yan’s panicked voice came through: "Mr. Qiao, please come to the office quickly."
