From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 223 San Ge, is there something wrong?

Chapter 223: Chapter 223 San Ge, is there something wrong?

Nan Qiao was just about to rest when she received a call from Bai Jingrui.

Bai Jingrui’s voice was cheerful and bright, "Sister, did I wake you up? I’m really sorry."

Nan Qiao smiled and said, "I haven’t slept yet, Brother Rui, what’s up?"

"There’s not much of an issue, it’s just... Sister, you know I wore the outfit you designed for me to the awards ceremony? Someone asked about it, and I told them my sister designed it. Do you think they might find out that Huai Xi actually designed it and I said it was my sister? Could that cause you trouble?"

Nan Qiao thought it was a bigger issue, but it was just this.

"No worries, you don’t need to explain, and I won’t respond here. They won’t find out it was me."

Bai Jingrui sighed in relief, "Sister, it’s my fault. When they asked, I proudly claimed my sister helped me design it. I was too excited and spoke without thinking."

At that moment, Bai Jingrui’s proud expression had fans speculating whether he was in a relationship.

"It’s okay, don’t worry," Nan Qiao reassuringly comforted him.

Bai Jingrui grinned and spoke to Nan Qiao, "Sister, I’ve come across many fun gadgets while filming. I’ll bring some back for you to play with."

"Thanks, Brother Rui."

"You’re welcome, Sister. I won’t disturb your sleep anymore. Get some rest soon, good night."

Nan Qiao hung up the phone. Bai Jingrui was gleeful and told his agent, "Just tell everyone that my sister designed the clothes."

The agent: "Brother Rui, can your sister even design clothes? Didn’t you say she’s a Medical College student?"

Bai Jingrui: "Who said I only have one sister?"

Now, it was the agent’s turn to be stunned.

Sister?

What sister?

Love sister?

Designer Huai Xi, could she really be Bai Jingrui’s sister?

The agent racked his brains but couldn’t figure it out, and decided to stop thinking about it. It was too brain exhausting.

...

During breakfast.

Bai Yurou happily announced something, "Mom and Dad, I heard from my second brother that he’s coming back soon,"

"Second brother dares to come back? I’ve called him so many times, and he’s always said he’s busy. If he’s so busy, then why come home?" Chen Xinwan said unhappily.

Bai Zhenyang felt the same, "Both my eldest and youngest manage to come back even though they’re busy, but he’s too busy to return. Now, I don’t even want him to come back. Let him continue his studies abroad."

Bai Jingting was indifferent, looking at the business newspaper, and said nonchalantly, "I’ll talk to him later. If he doesn’t want to come back, then just don’t."

Bai Yurou: "..."

Just because the second brother didn’t come back in time to see Nan Qiao, does the family not welcome him now?

Bai Yurou was bewildered; this was the Bai family’s second young master! Why did no one care about the second brother now?

Gently, Bai Yurou explained, "Mom, Dad, eldest brother, the second brother might have just been too busy. I heard he’s constantly doing research in the lab. Maybe he genuinely didn’t have time, which is why he couldn’t come to see sister. Mom, Dad, eldest brother, let’s not be too hard on the second brother."

Nan Qiao caught the main point, "Doing research?"

Bai Yurou: "Yes, sister, you’ve just arrived home and aren’t aware of what the second brother does. He develops robots. The vacuum robots his company developed are really useful. They sold out within an hour of their release."

Nan Qiao: "..."

She was familiar with this.

Perhaps, she had even met this second brother before, though he hadn’t seen her.

Nan Qiao didn’t speak, and Bai Yurou thought she was amazed.

Having three such capable brothers sure was a windfall for Nan Qiao!

Bai Yurou’s words did not cheer up Bai Zhenyang or Chen Xinwan.

Chen Xinwan said, "The second brother cares more about robots than his own mom. If things really can’t be helped, just let him keep company with a robot."

Bai Zhenyang: "That’s a good suggestion."

Bai Jingting: "The second brother likes robots so much, he might actually agree to this decision."

Nan Qiao snickered, thinking that the second brother would cry and faint in the bathroom.

Bai Yurou’s eyes flickered, and she said she was going to the restroom. She turned around, headed to the elevator, and entered her room.

Bai Yurou dialed her second brother Bai Jingyan’s number. After he answered, she said sorrowfully, "Second brother, don’t you want to come back and see sister soon?"

Bai Jingyan asked coldly, "What is it?"

Bai Yurou said, "Dad and mom are angry. They really like Sister, even more than they like me. If you don’t come back to see her, dad and mom will be mad. They said... if you don’t want to come back, then don’t bother coming back at all, second brother. I’ll go and talk to Sister later, it’s okay if you come back later, just don’t worry about it."

Bai Yurou said this with such fervor, but then heard Bai Jingyan’s indifferent voice, "What did you say? The machine was too noisy just now, I didn’t hear you."

Bai Yurou could have spit blood!

This second brother, he’s just a blockhead!

Bai Yurou, holding back her anger, continued, "Second brother, sister she..."

"Yurou, let’s talk about it when I get back. I’m still busy with work. Next month there’s a competition, and I need to lead my team to win first place, to defeat my archenemy."

Bai Jingyan hung up the phone, and Bai Yurou really wanted to curse.

This second brother, he only has eyes for robots.

Mom and dad were right, let him spend his life with a robot!

...

Bai Yurou went downstairs, her expression somewhat desolate.

She found the dining room empty except for Nan Qiao; the other three had left.

This was a great opportunity!

Bai Yurou feigned dejection and sat down next to Nan Qiao, sighing deeply.

"Sister, where are dad, mom, and older brother?"

Bai Yurou sighed deeply, looked up, and was startled to find Nan Qiao staring at her.

"Sister, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You’ve been sighing and hesitating to speak, do you have something to say? Just say it, it’s suffocating to hold it in, how uncomfortable."

Bai Yurou: "..."

Bai Yurou finally said, "Sister, honestly, I do have something to say, but I’m afraid you’ll be upset if I say it."

Nan Qiao stood up to leave, and Bai Yurou panicked, she couldn’t let Nan Qiao leave like this.

Bai Yurou quickly said, "Sister, since you’re here, I might as well tell you."

Nan Qiao sat down again, quietly looking at Bai Yurou.

"It’s like this, I called the second brother again when I went upstairs, hoping he would come back sooner to see you, to avoid making our parents angry and affecting the family atmosphere. But still, he’s not coming back. Sister, don’t take it the same way as the second brother, and don’t be mad."

Nan Qiao: "Are you done?"

Bai Yurou: "Sister, if you get mad, mom and dad will talk to the second brother, and he will definitely blame you. You just got back, and you’re not familiar with the second brother, you wouldn’t blame him, right? I’m closer with the second brother, I’ll try to talk to him for you."

"You’re done, right? Then I’m leaving too, I still have work."

Bai Yurou: "Sister, what do you mean?"

"I don’t mean anything, wasn’t I just quietly watching your performance? Now that it’s over, of course, I’m leaving."

Nan Qiao left with a broad smile, and Bai Yurou, furious, yelled, "Nan Qiao, you sly girl! You did that on purpose!"

However, no matter what Bai Yurou said, Nan Qiao couldn’t hear her anymore.
