From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love
Chapter 248: Truly Worthy of Being My Good Sister

Chapter 248: Chapter 248: Truly Worthy of Being My Good Sister

Bai Yurou didn’t want to admit it, but she had to.

"Dad, Mom, you’re absolutely right. If elder sister were still at home, she definitely would have received a lot of red envelopes and gifts, too," Bai Yurou dared not to say anything more.

She even suspected that Bai Zhenyang had found out about something.

Following that, Chen Xinwan said, "Bai Jingyan, just look at Qiaoqiao, she didn’t take any issue with you. You bought such little gold, I’m not even satisfied with it, and Qiaoqiao didn’t make a fuss about it, yet you still come back so late. Look at your elder brother; no matter how busy you are, can you be busier than him? He came back early, too."

Everyone was chiming in one after another, making Bai Jingyan wish he could bury his head in the ground.

"Sister, I was wrong. I’ve been busy with the competition lately, and that’s why I came back a bit late. Sister, you have a big heart, please forgive me."

Bai Jingyan began to worry that if he didn’t apologize soon, he would be driven out by the family.

Facing Nan Qiao’s soft and pretty little face, Bai Jingyan couldn’t bring himself to be angry.

Who could bear to upset such an adorable little sister?

The more Bai Jingyan thought about it, the more it troubled him. It was really torture!

He’d gotten himself into this situation, which was just exhausting.

Nan Qiao smiled, revealing her bright and shining eyes that glistened like a myriad of stars.

Nan Qiao said, "It’s fine, second brother. I understand you have things to do. Have you eaten yet? If not, sit down and have dinner with us."

Once Nan Qiao spoke up, no matter how upset everyone was, they wouldn’t want to cause her to lose face.

Their Qiaoqiao was just too innocent and kind.

"Qiaoqiao has forgiven you, so you’d better sit down quickly."

Bai Jingyan chuckled and quickly took a seat, fearing that any delay might result in him being unable to sit down or even being thrown out.

Nan Qiao served Bai Jingyan a bowl of porridge: "Second brother, have some porridge, welcome home."

Bai Jingyan accepted with both hands, smiling from ear to ear: "Thank you, Qiaoqiao, thank you, sister. You are as kind as you are beautiful."

The family sat together in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Bai Yurou stood to the side, her discomfort evident as she looked at everyone’s smiling faces.

Bai Yurou sat down next to Bai Jingyan feeling both dejected and aggrieved.

"Second brother, you didn’t bring me any gifts when you came back. Have you forgotten about your sister? Don’t you like me anymore?"

Bai Jingyan: "..."

He really had forgotten.

He thought that since he hadn’t bought anything for his new sister, he would certainly be criticized for not bringing anything back. He had been so busy lately with things piling up that he had completely forgotten the matter.

Bai Jingyan, a bit embarrassed, explained, "Yurou, I didn’t intentionally not buy you a gift. There’s just been too much going on recently, and my memory isn’t what it used to be. Yurou, what if second brother buys you a present tomorrow to make up for it, is that okay?"

Bai Yurou suddenly smiled sweetly and said, "Second brother, it’s not that I must have a gift. It’s just that you forgot about me when you were giving gifts to elder sister. Does that mean you don’t like me as your sister anymore?"

Bai Jingyan: "How could that be? You are also my sister. I’ve bought you so many gifts before, and I will continue to do so in the future."

Bai Zhenyang and Chen Xinwan were getting irritated watching Bai Jingyan like this.

Thinking about Bai Yurou, it seemed best not to tell him, to avoid making things worse.

Chen Xinwan put down her chopsticks: "Bai Jingyan, are you not hungry? You hardly touched your porridge, don’t you like the porridge Qiaoqiao served you?"

Bai Jingyan, not daring to dislike it, and actually quite fond of porridge at that.

Bai Jingyan picked up the bowl and drank the porridge down in one go.

"I do like porridge, Qiaoqiao knows me so well."

Bai Zhenyang: "Try the buns, taste Liu Feng’s buns, we all like them a lot."

Bai Jingyan tried one and was so impressed he immediately ate two more.

Chen Xinwan couldn’t help but half laugh, "Bai Jingyan, are you starved? Have you not eaten properly these past few days?"

"I ate, but the food outside isn’t tasty. I’ve been too busy recently and haven’t been eating properly. I have to admit, the food at home is always the best."

"After his meal, Bai Jingyan asked, "Did the cook change? What happened to the previous one?"

Chen Xinwan told him about what had happened before, which shocked Bai Jingyan.

"There was such an incident? I thought she seemed pretty honest; you really can’t judge a book by its cover!" Bai Jingyan exclaimed in amazement.

...

After the meal, Nan Qiao went off to work, and Bai Jingyan was surprised again.

"My little sister is so young, and she’s already going to work?"

Chen Xinwan explained, "Your sister is very ambitious. We gave her some businesses to manage, and she’s doing really well. Especially this small clothing company—under her management, its performance has doubled."

"Qiaoqiao is truly impressive, possessing our family’s business acumen," Bai Jingyan admired.

Standing to one side, Bai Yurou: "..."

I’ve been subtly insulted, haven’t I?

Bai Jingyan then said, "Mom and Dad, I’m going out for a bit."

"Why are you going out again? Bai Jingyan, what exactly are you busy with out there? Hasn’t your technology company gone under yet?" Chen Xinwan asked.

Bai Jingyan: "..."

What a roast from my own mother.

Bai Jingyan helplessly explained, "Mom, my dear mother, my tech company hasn’t gone under. Don’t you believe in my abilities? This time in the competition, I’ve really encountered a strong rival. That technology company was established quite late; it’s called Yuan Qiao Technology Company. I’ve heard they’re also involved in the pharmaceutical business, encompassing a wide range, yet their strength is formidable."

As Bai Jingting was leaving, he said to Bai Jingyan, "Then your chances of winning aren’t high."

Having said that, Bai Jingting left.

Bai Jingyan was frustrated and shouted at his retreating brother, "My dear older brother, can’t you hope for something good for me?"

Bai Yurou said, "Second brother, I believe in you. With your capabilities, you’ll definitely take first place!"

"Yurou, you truly are my dear sister," Bai Jingyan felt encouraged.

...

Nan Qiao arrived at the company and called Ke Muran.

"How’s the preparation for the competition going?"

Ke Muran responded, "Everything’s ready; we’re just waiting to go to the venue."

Nan Qiao thought for a moment and asked, "Do you know Bai Jingyan?"

Ke Muran’s tone rose a few notches, "I do know him. Bai Jingyan’s tech company is also quite strong, and he’s a formidable competitor. He’s one of our main rivals in this competition."

Nan Qiao: "..."

I never expected that my opponent would be my own second brother.

Nan Qiao was still thinking, should I throw the match?

But throwing it would disrespect my brother; I’ll give it my all instead.

"Boss, do you know Bai Jingyan?"

Nan Qiao really wanted to say that she didn’t just know him, but that they were siblings.

To avoid affecting the competitive mindset of everyone, Nan Qiao did not reveal her relationship with Bai Jingyan.

Nan Qiao explained, "I was just inquiring about the situation. You go ahead and be busy."

Nan Qiao hung up the phone and started her day’s work.

At that moment, Tang Yongshan called.

"Qiaoqiao, have you been seeing anyone since you got back? Would you like your master to introduce someone? Let me tell you, I know a fine young man, excellent condition, good-looking too. How about I introduce you?"
