Chapter 228: Chapter 228: Big Brother Number Two Arrives

At 5:30 in the morning, Bai Jingting, dressed in a tracksuit, went downstairs to prepare for his morning run when he saw Nan Qiao just returning from hers.

Bai Jingting asked in surprise, "Sister, you went for a run?"

Nan Qiao replied, "Yes, I habitually run for half an hour every morning, then go back to my room to stretch a bit."

Bai Jingting was surprised but also a bit happy, realizing he and his sister shared the same hobby; they both enjoyed morning runs.

Bai Jingting suddenly felt that his relationship with his sister was the best one.

"Qiaoqiao, next time you go for a run, you can call me, and I’ll go with you."

"Sure." Nan Qiao mopped her brow with a towel.

Nan Qiao said, "Big brother, I won’t keep you from your run; I’m heading back to my room now."

Bai Jingting smiled as he watched Nan Qiao leave, then went for a run by himself before calling Bai Jingyan.

"Little bro, when are you coming home? Sister has been back for so long, and you still haven’t returned. Are you itching for a beating?"

Bai Jingyan was still sleeping and his face soured as he listened to Bai Jingting’s words through the haze of slumber.

"Big brother, look at the time. I went to bed late last night, so I need to catch up on sleep."

Bai Jingting said, "Sister also went to bed late last night and was back from her run at 5:30 in the morning. Bai Jingyan, if you get up now and run for half an hour, you’ll surely be refreshed and energetic!"

Bai Jingyan: "..."

"Big brother, is our new sister made of iron or something? Doesn’t she get tired? She stayed up so late last night, was she playing on her phone?"

Bai Jingting’s anger skyrocketed, and his voice was thunderous with fury, "Bai Jingyan, who told you sister only knows how to play! I’m telling you, sister is much better than you, much more diligent! If I hear you talk about sister like that again, you’ll get acquainted with my fists!"

Bai Jingting wanted to hang up in anger but then added, "Hurry up and come home to see sister. If you don’t, you’ll be responsible for the consequences!"

After hanging up, Bai Jingting truly wanted to drag Bai Jingyan over to see for himself just how outstanding Qiaoqiao was!

...

During breakfast, Bai Yurou still had a knack for lightening the atmosphere.

"Mom and Dad, I’ve found that I’m quite interested in business. I will study hard and try to reduce your burden as soon as possible."

Chen Xinwan smiled and said, "Yurou, didn’t you always like medicine? School is about to start, and if you work at your brother’s company, won’t it interfere with your studies?"

Bai Yurou: "..."

Keeping her composure, Bai Yurou smiled and said, "Mom, sister is so busy every day, and I should learn from her."

Chen Xinwan said, "Qiaoqiao, you work so hard every day. I had some donkey-hide gelatin made for you. Take a few pieces with you to work and have one at a time to replenish your body."

"Thank you, Mom," Nan Qiao said politely and obediently.

Chen Xinwan continued, "Yurou, I also ordered a portion for you, remember to eat it."

Bai Yurou forced a smile, "Thank you, Mom."

In Bai Yurou’s eyes, the only reason Chen Xinwan ordered a portion for her was on Nan Qiao’s account, just to avoid others saying that she favored one daughter over the other.

Bai Yurou was in a foul mood, eating her bun while her eyes were filled with darkness.

...

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

"Nan Qiao?" the other side began.

Nan Qiao said, "Speaking, who’s this?"

"It’s your second brother, Bai Jingyan."

Nan Qiao: "..."

The brash tone made it seem as if she owed him money.

Nan Qiao replied calmly, "Hello, this is Nan Qiao."

Bai Jingyan continued, "Is your phone number also your Alipay account? I’ve transferred one million to you as my welcoming gift."

Nan Qiao: "Thanks for your kindness, but let’s skip the meeting gift. I have money, no need to give me any."

Bai Jingyan was astonished. Every time he transferred money to Bai Yurou, she would be overjoyed.

Why wasn’t Nan Qiao happy?

Is receiving money not good?

Bai Jingyan, doubtful and puzzled, asked, "Why don’t you want my meeting gift? Is it too little for you?"

Nan Qiao, caught between laughter and tears, replied, "How could it be too little? Many people have transferred quite a bit of money to me already, I can’t even spend it all. I appreciate the thought, but no need for the money. If you still want to give it, then go ahead."

Bai Jingyan: "..."

Bai Jingyan had transferred two million to Nan Qiao and then added another million.

When Nan Qiao saw the two million, she was caught between laughter and tears: "Why is there an extra million?"

"Fear that you might find it too little."

Nan Qiao: "..."

"Thank you, I don’t find it too little," Nan Qiao said politely.

Bai Jingyan yawned, "I’ve been quite busy lately and don’t have time to meet you. Just accept the meeting gift as if we have met. I’m busy now, gotta hang up."

After Bai Jingyan hung up, Nan Qiao looked at the additional two million in her account and smiled.

...

As soon as Nan Qiao arrived at the office, her mobile phone rang with a call from an unknown number.

Nan Qiao answered, "Hello."

From the other end came Zhou Jingya’s sharp and snide voice: "Nan Qiao, I never thought you were this kind of person. You actually let your friend seduce Brother Zhengyang. Have you no shame?"

Nan Qiao: ??

"Zhou Jingya, what is wrong with you!"

"Nan Qiao, are you still denying it? Brother Zhengyang told me himself, it was your friend who seduced her. Did you and your friend conspire to steal my boyfriend? Brother Zhengyang said he doesn’t even like your friend, it’s all one-sided on her part."

Nan Qiao, "Zhou Jingya, didn’t you listen to the recording that day? Did you choose to forget what Lu Zhengyang said? Are you alright?"

"I’m fine, I’m very well! Nan Qiao, tell your friend, she won’t be able to steal my Brother Zhengyang!"

Nan Qiao: "..."

Nan Qiao sat in her chair, at a loss for what to say.

Zhou Jingya is really sick!

"Zhou Jingya, if you’re not busy, you should really go to the hospital and register; make sure it’s for the psychiatric department. Get treated if you’re sick, protect yourself if you’re not. What kind of treasure do you think Lu Zhengyang is, that someone would want to steal him? Even if he offered himself, my friend wouldn’t give him a glance. Go back and take Lu Zhengyang with you to get checked out, take a good look!"

Hang up, block, all in one go.

Nan Qiao then called Deng Bingying and repeated the story to her.

Deng Bingying couldn’t help but laugh and cry: "What kind of man is Lu Zhengyang, with no backbone, spreading lies everywhere."

"Ying Ying, take care of yourself lately. Zhou Jingya is a madwoman, and Lu Zhengyang is useless; I’m afraid he’ll add fuel to the fire with his nonsense, and Zhou Jingya will come after you."

"Mr. Qiao, rest assured, I will definitely protect myself. As for that fool Zhou Jingya, let her and Lu Zhengyang get locked up together!"

Nan Qiao snorted with laughter: "Well said, let them get locked up."

Deng Bingying said, "Mr. Qiao, the Bai family’s fourth young lady, Bai Yurou, came to our company to custom-order a dress; should we take the order? It wasn’t her in person, but my investigation confirms that the real customer is Bai Yurou."

Suddenly a new face popped up, and Deng Bingying had someone investigate thoroughly, just to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Nan Qiao: "Take it, only an idiot would turn down money."

Nan Qiao thought for a moment; there were no banquets at the Bai family lately, nor was it Bai Yurou’s birthday.

She was custom-ordering a dress, what for?

Could it be that it was for a meeting with that mysterious man?
