From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 26 - You Were Not Invited

Chapter 26: Chapter 26 You Were Not Invited

Chapter 26 -26 You Were Not Invited

Nan Qiao met Li Yehan’s scrutinizing gaze and said without changing her expression, “Perhaps the price offered by our family was too high.”

Li Yehan said, “I offered one billion.”

Nan Qiao: …

How could Uncle Dao and Uncle Qin work as bodyguards for someone for just one billion, apart from her nobody else gets that kind of treatment.

Nan Qiao said with a smile, “Perhaps our family offered even more than that, or maybe protecting you is more challenging than protecting me.

After all, you’re a CEO who handles thousands of things every day, which involves too much danger.”

Li Yehan’s lips curved into a smile that held an ambiguous meaning, making Nan Qiao feel uneasy, as if this man knew some secret, particularly about her.

Nan Qiao turned her head to look outside and changed the topic, “Mr.

Li, where are we going to eat later?”

“Jin Jiang Hotel.”

His voice was magnetic, full of allure.

Jin Jiang Hotel, Nan Qiao knew the place.

It was not very easy to get in to dine there.

There was even an annual membership fee, and even the regular one cost a million per year.

With Li Yehan’s status, he must be a VIP among VIPs.

The last time she was invited, she didn’t have time to go, missing the chance to eat there.

She heard the food was delicious; Nan Qiao hadn’t been there before, it was a good opportunity to try it.

As they reached the entrance of the Jin Jiang Hotel, Li Yehan’s phone rang.

Seeing the caller ID, Li Yehan looked at Nan Qiao, “Sorry, I need to take this call.”

Nan Qiao nodded, “I’ll go in first.”

Li Yehan nodded, answered the call, and accidentally activated the speakerphone, a girl’s coquettish voice came through, “Brother Ye Han~”

Her charming and delightful voice made Nan Qiao involuntarily turn her head to look, but Li Yehan had already walked away, seeming to fear others hearing his conversation.

As night fell, Li Yehan stood under a street lamp, light and shadow playing across his handsome face, giving his fine features an almost divine appearance.

Nan Qiao turned and walked toward the hotel entrance, only to encounter Liu Yanfang and her daughter Zhou Jingya.

The mother and daughter were dressed in extremely expensive clothes, complemented by Liu Yanfang’s cherished jewelry.

The three of them locked eyes, Liu Yanfang’s gaze could kill.

“What are you doing here!” Liu Yanfang’s tone was full of interrogation and disdain.

Zhou Jingya held Liu Yanfang’s arm, her voice ever so gentle, “Mother, maybe sister knew we were here, so she deliberately waited for us here?”

Liu Yanfang scoffed disdainfully, “Is this even a place she can come to?

Is she worthy?”

Nan Qiao laughed, “Whether I’m worthy or not isn’t for you to decide.

Do you own this restaurant?”

Liu Yanfang: …

Liu Yanfang was at a loss for words, boiling with rage.

“How dare you talk back to me!

Do you think the incident where our family was suppressed by Mr.

Ma because of you has been forgotten?”

Nan Qiao came here alone, Liu Yanfang was delighted to take the opportunity to belittle her, feeling utterly pleased.

Even a clay figure has a temper, there was no way Nan Qiao was going to let her off easily.

“You have the nerve to talk about me?

Do you believe I will sue your Zhou Family right now for plotting against me?

Did you think all three of you could get away with it?

Just go to jail!”

Zhou Jingya held Liu Yanfang’s arm, gesturing for her to stop talking.

What if Mr.

Lu hears about it, what then!

Liu Yanfang, infuriated but unable to make a sound, was severely frustrated.

Zhou Jingya raised an eyebrow, her tone still gentle, “Sister, if you also want to go to Jin Jiang Hotel, I can take you in.

You weren’t invited and you’re not a member, it’s hard to get in.”

“Xiao Ya, don’t bother with her.

You’re just too kind, always thinking about others, you’re bound to suffer losses.”

Nan Qiao stood silently by, watching the spectacle created by Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya.

Mother and daughter were still hilariously foolish—had they put any thought into what they were saying?

At that moment, Lu Zhengyang, who had invited Zhou Jingya over, appeared.

He was dressed in an expensive suit and walked out with a smile on his face.

“Mrs.

Zhou, Miss Zhou, you’ve finally arrived.”

Zhou Jingya brightened up at the sight of him and smiled at Lu Zhengyang, “Brother Zhengyang, why did you come down?”

After becoming the designer for the Zhou Family, Zhou Jingya had met Lu Zhengyang a few times, and the two had taken a liking to each other; they were currently in a flirtatious phase.

Lu Zhengyang’s gaze involuntarily drifted toward Nan Qiao, drawn to her striking features.

Her perfectly proportioned figure and her pure, elegant aura stood out.

Dressed in a knit sweater and slim-fit jeans, her long legs were particularly eye-catching.

“Who is this?” Lu Zhengyang’s gaze stuck to Nan Qiao and never wavered.

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya didn’t expect Lu Zhengyang to be captivated by Nan Qiao.

What was so captivating about Nan Qiao?

Just because she was a bit pretty?

Wasn’t she just an empty vase?

Zhou Jingya walked up to Lu Zhengyang, especially radiant today, and cooed, “Brother Zhengyang, did you come out especially to meet us?”

Lu Zhengyang’s thoughts were pulled back by Zhou Jingya; he then remembered what his purpose for coming out was.

Wasn’t it to meet Zhou Jingya and win her over?

Lu Zhengyang, being the less favored second young master of the Lu Family, was eager to prove himself to his family, showing he was no less capable than his elder brother.

After coming into contact with the fashion industry and seeing Zhou Jingya’s talented designs, he wanted to collaborate with her.

Hence, he took advantage of the birthday banquet to invite Zhou Jingya over and curry favor.

Lu Zhengyang’s eyes involuntarily shifted back to Nan Qiao and he repeated, “Miss Zhou, who is this?”

Liu Yanfang quickly responded, “She’s the foster daughter who was swapped with our Xiao Ya.

She probably came here trying to leech off our status to get into the Jin Jiang Hotel.”

Hearing that the well-featured and refined Nan Qiao was merely a country bumpkin, Lu Zhengyang’s view of her completely changed.

Zhou Jingya, ever so magnanimous, said, “Sister, if you also want to go in, I can speak to Brother Zhengyang for you.”

Liu Yanfang snorted, “Xiao Ya, you’re too kind, and that’s why you get used and bullied.

Don’t you remember how she used to bully you?

Have you forgotten all that?”

Lu Zhengyang’s gaze towards Nan Qiao now contained only disdain and greed.

Nan Qiao’s lips slightly curled in a disdainful smile as she watched the mother and daughter’s performance.

“Is the Jin Jiang Hotel your family’s property?

You allow yourselves entry but not me?

And which eye of yours saw me following you?

I’m going to the Jin Jiang Hotel—do you own the hotel?

Do I need your permission to enter?

With all your capability, why don’t you just ascend to heaven?”

After speaking, Nan Qiao walked away, unwilling to let them spoil her mood.

Nan Qiao headed inside and approached a staff member, reporting the private room number and Li Yehan’s name, then went up with the staff in the elevator.

At that moment, the three people at the entrance were stunned.

Liu Yanfang & Zhou Jingya: She can go in?

Lu Zhengyang: She can go in!

The three exchanged looks, and Lu Zhengyang’s eyes flickered.

Liu Yanfang, lowering her voice, said, “Zhengyang, you don’t know, but this foster daughter of mine has no self-respect.

I heard she recently latched onto an old man.

She’s always been restless, despising the poor and loving the rich.

Her coming here to the Jin Jiang Hotel must be because some wealthy old man let her in.”

Lu Zhengyang had an epiphany, “Aunt, Miss Zhou, let’s go in.”

The three entered the Jin Jiang Hotel together.

At that moment, Li Yehan, having finished a phone call, came over with a grim face.

The anger gradually faded from his face, not wanting to frighten Nan Qiao.

He walked forward, and Uncle Dao approached, “Someone bullied the young mistress!”

Li Yehan: ?
