Chapter 234: Chapter 234: Grandpa Also Suspected Bai Yurou

Nan Qiao helped Granny with a checkup, her body was still a bit weak.

After lying down for so long, it is good to bask in the sun when you have the chance.

Now that it’s summer, sunbathing for about ten minutes before nine o’clock every day is good for the body.

Granny Zheng Qin looked at Nan Qiao with loving eyes and a beaming smile.

Granny said concernedly, "Qiaoqiao, I heard from your Grandpa, my good child, you have suffered."

"Granny, now that I’m back home, with so many people who love me, the past hardships don’t matter."

Nan Qiao was so sensible and well-behaved, Granny loved her more and more.

She put the gift she had prepared onto Nan Qiao’s hands—it was a pair of jade bracelets.

Nan Qiao wanted to withdraw her hands, but Granny said, "This is a little token of my affection, Qiaoqiao, please accept it. If you don’t, it would really distress Granny, it’s a little token of my heart."

With Granny saying that, Nan Qiao could no longer refuse.

Nan Qiao said, "Granny, thank you."

"No need for thanks, I should be the one thanking you. I heard from your Grandpa, if it weren’t for you returning, I don’t know if I could have ever woken up in this lifetime."

Grandpa Bai came in carrying fruits and cheerfully said, "You thank me, I thank you. If you keep on being this polite, you can thank each other until tomorrow morning."

"Qiaoqiao, have some fruit."

"Thank you, Grandpa." Nan Qiao took it and ate a slice of watermelon.

Watermelon is perfect for summer, juicy and especially sweet.

"Granny, your body needs to recover slowly. Eat light these few days, and slowly you will get better."

After talking for a while, Grandpa Bai escorted Nan Qiao out.

The two of them stood outside, where there was no one else.

Grandpa Bai asked, "Qiaoqiao, did you start suspecting Yurou a long time ago?"

Nan Qiao nodded, "Yes, because someone had poisoned the family, and Bai Yurou was wary of me, so I couldn’t check her body."

Nan Qiao continued, "Of course, this doesn’t prove that Bai Yurou is the poisoner."

Grandpa Bai nodded, "Qiaoqiao, your analysis makes a lot of sense. The day your Granny fell down the stairs, I moved here. That night, I also suspected Yurou. Everyone else was resting in their own rooms late at night, and your Granny hadn’t quarreled with the servants, so how could she have been pushed?"

Grandpa Bai had suspected Bai Yurou long ago but had no evidence. Then he thought again, Yurou was his granddaughter, how could she harm her own family?

After Nan Qiao’s return, Grandpa Bai began to suspect Bai Yurou anew.

"Qiaoqiao, I will investigate this matter as well. If you have any problems in the future, you can talk to me, Qiaoqiao, Grandpa believes in you."

Grandpa Bai had complete trust in Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao said obediently, "Grandpa, I will also try hard to find the perpetrator!"

The grandparent and grandchild shared a knowing smile.

...

After Nan Qiao returned to her room, Bai Jingting knocked and came in.

Bai Jingting spoke very bluntly, asking without any pretense, "Qiaoqiao, are you and Li Yehan in a romantic relationship?"

Nan Qiao felt embarrassed by Bai Jingting’s bluntness, and her shy look gave away the true situation to Bai Jingting.

Bai Jingting earnestly advised, "Qiaoqiao, do you really know Li Yehan? Although he’s not bad-looking and comes from a wealthy family, he has a violent nature and is unpredictable. If you were with him and he abused you, what then? Sister, you’re so frail, one punch from him could send you flying."

Nan Qiao: "..."

She wasn’t so frail as to be beaten up by Li Yehan!

Bai Jingting didn’t know that Nan Qiao knew Martial Arts and, looking at her delicate appearance, thought she was helpless and frail.

"Big brother, actually Li Yehan isn’t that volatile. The more I get to know him, the gentler he seems," Nan Qiao replied.

Bai Jingting became even more anxious, "Sister, you’ve been fooled by his appearance! You don’t understand Li Yehan, but I do. We’ve known each other for many years; although we’re not friends, I’ve personally witnessed his violent behavior. Sister, listen to your brother’s advice, stay away from Li Yehan."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Bai Jingting, usually a man of few words, had a lot to say today.

It seemed he really was concerned about her getting hurt.

Nan Qiao patiently said, "Big brother, I know how to protect myself. Li Yehan and I are just getting to know each other; we’re not yet at the stage of talking about marriage."

"Sister, I’m not old-fashioned, I just hope you can be happy, that’s all. If you don’t believe me, then you can continue to interact with Li Yehan, but observe carefully before we talk about anything else."

"Okay, thank you, Big Brother."

"No problem, Sister, you should get some sleep early."

Bai Jingting finished speaking, then received a message on his phone from Bai Zhenyang asking him to come over.

"Sister, Dad needs me for something, I’ll head over first."

"Okay, see you, Big Brother."

Bai Jingting looked at his intelligent and angelically beautiful sister, still feeling that Qiaoqiao deserved a better man.

...

No sooner had Bai Jingting left than Li Yehan climbed in through the window.

Nan Qiao laughed, "Aren’t you hot, waiting outside for so long?"

Li Yehan raised an eyebrow, "Qiaoqiao, how did you know when I arrived?"

Nan Qiao replied, "When I came in, I noticed the window wasn’t tightly closed. Although it was a very small gap, I still found it."

Li Yehan was impressed, "My Qiaoqiao is just that smart."

Li Yehan held Nan Qiao, unwilling to let go, "Qiaoqiao, don’t listen to Bai Jingting’s nonsense."

"Maybe my Big Brother does have some reasons," Nan Qiao said with a mischievous smile.

Li Yehan smiled helplessly, "Qiaoqiao, I’m sincere with you. Bai Jingting and I are not friends; he doesn’t understand me, and you can’t judge that I wouldn’t treat you well based on rumors. Seeing how Bai Jingting reacts, I understand why his career hasn’t advanced by leaps and bounds."

Nan Qiao couldn’t help laughing, did she sense that Li Yehan and her Big Brother were in a love-hate relationship?

Nan Qiao pushed him away, "Li Yehan, you’re being too petty."

Li Yehan wrapped his arms around Nan Qiao from behind, resting his chin on her head, his magnetic voice especially pleasing, "Qiaoqiao, I won’t allow anyone to say we’re not suitable. Qiaoqiao, we’re a perfect match, absolutely perfect."

Nan Qiao couldn’t help smiling, "Li Yehan, my Big Brother was just making casual remarks, I didn’t take them seriously, why are you taking it to heart?"

Li Yehan’s voice from above her head said, "I’m afraid of losing you."

Nan Qiao froze for a moment, suddenly feeling the cold and domineering Li Yehan was like a child afraid of being abandoned.

Thinking of Li Yehan’s past, Nan Qiao could understand why he felt that way.

Nan Qiao turned around, looked up into Li Yehan’s eyes, her hands cradling his face, and sweetly said, "Li Yehan, my opinion matters the most. Why be unhappy because of what others say, you’re silly."

Li Yehan’s lips, the color of blush, curved into an elegant smile, he leaned down to kiss Nan Qiao...
