From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 232 Suspecting Bai Yurou

Chapter 232: Chapter 232 Suspecting Bai Yurou

Nan Qiao’s words had left Bai Zhenyang profoundly shocked, momentarily stunned, and in disbelief.

At the time Granny Bai was assaulted, Nan Qiao hadn’t yet returned to the Bai Family, and she didn’t even know that Nan Qiao was a child of the Bai Family.

According to this timeline, the person who harmed Granny Bai was someone from their own large family.

Ironically, on that day, Bai Jingting was not at home, Bai Jingrui was off shooting a film, leaving only Bai Jingyan, Bai Zhenyang, Chen Xinwan, and Grandpa Bai at home.

It was precisely because of this incident that Grandpa Bai moved to another building to live and did not stay here.

Nan Qiao noticed that Bai Zhenyang’s emotions were off, like he had been provoked, and she said softly, "Dad, these are just my speculations. Granny hasn’t yet recalled the key points of that night, and we don’t know if she saw anything. We can only verify my guess once Granny remembers, or once we’ve investigated further."

Bai Zhenyang looked at Nan Qiao, feeling incredibly comforted.

Following Nan Qiao’s analysis and the words Granny Bai had herself spoken, Bai Zhenyang couldn’t help but suspect Bai Yurou.

Over the years, the Bai Family had given Bai Yurou quite a bit of money. He needed to check and see just how much money was left in Bai Yurou’s accounts.

Bai Zhenyang picked up his phone and made a call, "Help me check how much money is in Bai Yurou’s accounts and how many properties she has."

Bai Zhenyang took a deep breath, and his expression eased significantly.

He said softly, "Qiaoqiao, I really never imagined that such a thing could happen to our Bai Family. If you hadn’t come back, I fear that in no more than two years, all of us would have perished."

Nan Qiao was also curious and asked, puzzled, "Dad, if we suppose this person is Bai Yurou, why would she do this after the Bai Family raised her for eighteen years?"

"Qiaoqiao, it’s not just you; even I can’t figure it out. Our Bai Family has treated her with nothing but genuine care. For eighteen years, we thought she was our biological daughter. With three sons and one daughter in the family, we cherished her and never made her suffer."

Bai Zhenyang was in deep pain, feeling very troubled.

This matter had struck him like a blow to the head, leaving him unsure of what to do.

The more he thought about it, the more upset he became, and Bai Zhenyang started to become anxious.

"I also hope it’s not Bai Yurou," said Nan Qiao.

Unfortunately, she still suspected Bai Yurou.

Saying so was also a way to comfort Bai Zhenyang.

After they talked for a while, half an hour later, Bai Zhenyang’s phone rang.

"Mr. Bai, I’ve checked. Bai Yurou’s account has only one hundred thousand dollars. She has five properties to her name, and no other assets."

Bai Zhenyang: ??

Bai Zhenyang’s face became stern, looking extremely troubled.

"Got it," Bai Zhenyang hung up the call and leaned back in his chair, unable to speak.

At that moment, Bai Zhenyang almost vomited blood.

Nan Qiao quickly handed him quick heart-saving pills, which Bai Zhenyang took and swallowed immediately.

Nan Qiao poured him a glass of water, which Bai Zhenyang drank. His emotions remained agitated and angry.

"Dad, you should take a moment to calm down, your health is important," Nan Qiao said, concerned about Bai Zhenyang.

She hadn’t spoken earlier because she wanted to find the right opportunity and was worried about how these people would take the news.

Bai Zhenyang clutched his chest, in unbearable discomfort.

He cautioned, "Qiaoqiao, let’s keep this matter between us for now and not tell your mom. I’m afraid she can’t handle it."

Nan Qiao nodded, "Dad, I understand. We should still tell big brother since he’s better at handling these situations."

The third brother, Bai Jingrui, was a carefree person, and Nan Qiao feared he might reveal his emotions.

As for the second brother, Bai Jingyan, Nan Qiao hadn’t met him yet.

Bai Zhenyang agreed with Nan Qiao’s analysis, even he couldn’t accept this matter, let alone Chen Xinwan.

Chen Xinwan had shown great affection for Bai Yurou, and over the years, she had spent quite a sum of money on her.

Giving her money and properties, he even planned to give her shares in the company for her coming-of-age ceremony at eighteen.

But now, it’s better to drop the idea.

"Qiaoqiao, you’re right, I will wait before telling your mother. I’ll talk to her after I find evidence," he decided to not give such an expensive gift for the coming-of-age ceremony.

"Dad, when you speak to Grandpa Bai, let him know that if Granny Bai remembers anything, she must tell you first, and then you can tell me. We mustn’t tip off the culprit. After we go out, we must treat everyone just as we did before. Even the servants can’t be taken lightly. We should start the investigation with the servants; the person who pushed Granny Bai down the stairs might be one of the Bai Family’s own."

Every possibility had to be investigated.

"Qiaoqiao, I’ll go talk to your grandpa right now."

Bai Zhenyang, alarmed and fearful, knew he had to get to the bottom of this and make the necessary arrangements.

Nan Qiao stood up and shouted, "Dad, why don’t you have Grandpa Bai announce that Granny Bai has lost her memory and can’t remember the events of that night? Her memory is damaged, and it’s difficult for her to recall anything. I’m afraid that the person involved might become desperate and hurt Granny Bai."

Bai Zhenyang nodded, "Qiaoqiao, you’ve thought this through well, I’ll hurry and inform your grandpa."

Nan Qiao said, "I’ll go downstairs first and explain Granny Bai’s condition."

The two of them split up to take care of the matter immediately.

...

As Nan Qiao descended the stairs, the gaze of Li Yehan, Chen Xinwan, and Bai Yurou simultaneously fell upon her.

Before they could ask, Nan Qiao spoke up, "Although Granny Bai has woken up, her memory has been affected, and she can’t recall the events of that night. It’s normal for her memory to be damaged after lying down for such a long time."

Chen Xinwan said, "It’s alright if she can’t remember, as long as she has awakened. It’s such good news that Granny Bai has finally woken up."

Chen Xinwan hadn’t thought too deep about it, believing that an elderly person had simply fallen due to instability.

Not just Chen Xinwan, but others thought the same.

Who would have imagined that the devil was right beside them?

Bai Yurou breathed a sigh of relief, "Sister, it’s thanks to you that Granny Bai could wake up. It’s fortunate that we have you, so Granny Bai could recover."

Li Yehan held a bottle of water, twisted open the cap, and handed it to Nan Qiao, "Have some water."

Nan Qiao took it and drank a few sips.

"I’m going to help Granny Bai prepare her medicine."

Li Yehan said, "I’ll accompany you."

Chen Xinwan added, "I’ll go to the kitchen to cook some millet porridge and make some light dishes. Granny Bai has just woken up, and she will surely need to eat something light."

Nan Qiao replied, "Mom, you’re absolutely right. You go ahead and cook, and then you can visit Granny Bai later."

Chen Xinwan expressed her concern, "Qiaoqiao, you must be hungry since you came back in a rush. Liu Feng has prepared dinner; you and Ye Han should go eat something."

Li Yehan thanked her, "Thank you, Aunt, I’ll take Qiaoqiao to eat first."

Bai Yurou, unable to wait any longer, chimed in, "Mom, I’ll go upstairs to check on Granny Bai. She hasn’t seen me for so long; she must be missing me."

Nan Qiao responded, "Not now, Granny Bai just woke up and needs rest."

Bai Yurou thought, "..."

Bai Yurou believed Nan Qiao was targeting her, but she had no proof.

Chen Xinwan said, "Yurou, your sister is right. Granny Bai has just woken up, so let’s not disturb her just yet."

Bai Yurou had to nod in agreement, not daring to object.
