Chapter 97: Chapter 97 Mr. Li’s Gaze Is Far From Innocent

Huang Jiamin spoke while paying attention to Nan Qiao’s expression, as if she had thought of something, she hurriedly explained, "I’m not betraying Bai Yurou, but through this incident I realized that Bai Yurou wants to harm me!"

Ding Shiman said, "We’re telling you this as a friendly gesture, hoping you’ll be on guard against her."

Nan Qiao’s cool voice slowly said, "What happened?"

Huang Jiamin said, "I found out Bai Yurou has a boyfriend."

Nan Qiao was truly shocked. Wasn’t Bai Yurou supposed to like Li Yehan?

Liking Li Yehan, yet secretly having a boyfriend, what was Bai Yurou up to?

"How do you know?" Nan Qiao asked.

Huang Jiamin said softly, "At the time, we were dining together when her phone rang, and I saw she looked somewhat panicked. Just then, Manman had gone to the restroom and overheard her voice filled with coaxing, as if she was very afraid of the person on the other line getting angry. Even though I couldn’t hear clearly what the person was saying, I did hear a man’s voice, and he was angry, with Bai Yurou pacifying him."

Nan Qiao, "That doesn’t prove the person is Bai Yurou’s boyfriend."

Huang Jiamin, "But at the racecourse that day, Mr. Li looked at you with adoration and fondness, and that’s when I remembered I’ve never seen Bai Yurou look at Mr. Li that way."

Ding Shiman, "Right, Mr. Li’s gaze when he looked at you, it was filled with tenderness and affection, with an air of ’no one but you will do,’ his gaze wasn’t innocent at all."

Nan Qiao, "..."

The gossip has come back to bite her.

"I won’t pursue this matter any further; you two can go back," she decided to investigate personally and wouldn’t easily take others’ words at face value.

Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman exchanged glances, then stood up.

Huang Jiamin, "Please accept these gifts, as a small token of our sincerity."

Ding Shiman, "Qiaoqiao, you take them. We’ll be off now. Let’s hang out together when there’s a chance."

The two were afraid that Nan Qiao would return the gifts to them and ran off quickly.

Nan Qiao looked at the gifts but still didn’t plan on keeping them.

"Stop."

The voice of Nan Qiao sounded from behind. Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman didn’t dare to leave and obediently returned to stand in front of Nan Qiao.

Huang Jiamin, "Qiaoqiao, are you not satisfied with the gifts? We can go buy you something else!"

Ding Shiman, "Right, we’ll buy you anything, no matter the cost."

Nan Qiao sat in her chair, her eyes cold and proud.

Huang Jiamin and Ding Shiman stood together, like children who had done something wrong, not daring to make a sound.

Nan Qiao pointed to the gifts in front of her and said, "Take them back, I won’t be accepting these gifts. Let’s put this to rest, I won’t pursue it."

Ding Shiman felt awkward, "Miss Qiaoqiao, if you don’t accept the gifts, Mr. Li will wipe out our entire family."

Nan Qiao hadn’t expected Li Yehan to be involved.

"Did he reach out to your family?"

Ding Shiman nodded, "He did; my father said if I couldn’t appease you, he’d throw me out and force me into an arranged marriage."

Huang Jiamin also showed a helpless expression, "My father said the same, if I couldn’t settle this matter, he’d exile me to the border, and I wouldn’t ever think of coming back."

It seemed that Li Yehan’s influence still carried more weight.

"Alright, I get it, you can go back for now, I’ll speak to Li Yehan."

Ding Shiman and Huang Jiamin were overjoyed, thanking Nan Qiao non-stop, grateful for her kindness and beauty.

...

After Ding Shiman and Huang Jiamin left, Nan Qiao called Hou Ze, instructing him to investigate the matter.

Hou Ze was skeptical, "I’ve been looking into Bai Yurou and haven’t seen her with any particularly close male friends. She has a lot of secret admirers at school, but I never heard her accept anyone’s pursuit."

That was strange. Would Ding Shiman and Huang Jiamin lie?

Hou Ze, as if seeing Nan Qiao’s expression, said from the other end, "Boss, those two women would definitely not lie to you. Lying to you would be like deceiving Li Yehan. Even with ten times the courage, they wouldn’t dare."

Nan Qiao remarked offhandedly, "Their families are quite afraid of Li Yehan, huh?"

Hou Ze, like opening the floodgates, went on endlessly, "Of course. Boss, you don’t know, Li Yehan’s personal history is too impressive. I seriously suspect he’s got a system."

Nan Qiao, "..."

"What are you talking about?" Nan Qiao poured herself a cup of coffee.

Hou Ze said leisurely, "I found out that Li Yehan had excellent grades since childhood. He completed six years of primary school in three years. He skipped grades to high school and was that year’s top university entrance exam scorer. Li Yehan was never favored by his father because his father had another woman. Later on, no one knew what happened, his mother committed suicide, dying in front of him. Then they said Li Yehan went crazy, the Li Family gave up on him and sent him abroad."

Nan Qiao hadn’t expected Li Yehan’s life to be so difficult.

"And then?"

"Then, five years later he came back with a vengeance. He aimed a gun at his father, forcing him to step down, and he became the CEO of the Li Family."

Nan Qiao noticed something, "You mentioned Li Yehan got sick?"

"Yes, he got sick. Apparently, he easily falls ill and might kill someone. Some also say his mother was killed by him."

Nan Qiao didn’t believe in such unrealistic rumors at all.

Li Yehan might kill Li Tianhong, but he would never kill his own mother.

"Alright, investigate these issues for me. As for Bai Yurou, I want the most detailed information. I suspect that she’s colluding with someone outside, trying to seize the Bai Family’s assets."

Hou Ze, "That’s unlikely, boss. Your other two brothers are no pushovers either. Moreover, your third brother Bai Jingrui is a top influencer, with such high public visibility, would Bai Yurou dare to kill him?"

Nan Qiao, "What top influencer?"

"You don’t know about Bai Jingrui’s identity?"

Nan Qiao felt a bit embarrassed because she truly wasn’t aware of what her three brothers did.

Bai Jingrui was good-looking, but Nan Qiao had never considered he would be in the entertainment industry.

"Boss, I think you should pay more attention to your three brothers. If Bai Yurou wants to conspire with outsiders to seize the family assets, she’d seek to seduce a very useful man. Looking around Jing City, isn’t Li Yehan the most useful?"

Nan Qiao, "Hou Ze, I never expected you to curse so viciously, even yourself."

Li Yehan is very useful = Hou Ze is useless.

Nan Qiao laughed, "You’re not just cursing yourself; you’re cursing Ah Nian along with you."

Hou Ze, "..."

His mouth really was cheap.

"Boss, you can’t betray me. If Zheng Qinnian found out, he’d break my arm bone."

Nan Qiao spoke laughing, "All right, I won’t. Be good; now hurry and investigate."

"Okay, thank you, boss."

Hou Ze’s hanging heart finally settled back in place.
