From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 73 - Excitement

Chapter 73: Chapter 73 Excitement

Chapter 73 -73 Excitement

When Zhou Hongqi heard the voice on the phone, he became utterly excited!

Isn’t this just like getting a pillow when you’re sleepy?

“The company is saved!

Really saved, heaven is truly helping us!” Zhou Hongqi danced with joy, waving his arms and legs.

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya walked out to see Zhou Hongqi dancing wildly, looking like he’d had a stroke.

Passersby gave Zhou Hongqi strange looks, pointing and whispering.

“Could he be mentally ill?”

“Take out ‘could be’; he is mentally ill.”

“Dear Lord!

Someone call the psychiatric hospital to take him away!”

Liu Yanfang stepped forward, grabbing Zhou Hongqi’s arm, “Zhou Hongqi, have you gone mad?”

Zhou Jingya was also worried; if something happened to Zhou Hongqi, who would deal with the company’s mess?

Zhou Hongqi’s face was full of excitement as he continued to dance, “Do you know what?

Our family is going to be rich!”

Zhou Hongqi then grabbed Zhou Jingya’s wrist, “Xiao Ya, come, I’ll take you to buy some new outfits.”

Under the puzzled gazes of Zhou Jingya and Liu Yanfang, Zhou Hongqi took them to a women’s clothing store.

He bought three outfits and a handbag, the extravagance of which made Zhou Jingya unbelieving.

Wasn’t Zhou Hongqi known to be stingy?

Now that he’s spending freely, there must be an even more lucrative deal requiring her involvement.

Zhou Jingya saw through these things very clearly.

The three returned home, and Liu Yanfang felt as if countless ants were biting her inside; she was desperate to know what had gotten into Zhou Hongqi.

“Old Zhou, have you lost your mind?

You’re spending so much tonight; have the company’s issues all been settled?”

While it’s right to treat Zhou Jingya well, Zhou Hongqi’s behavior was truly baffling.

Zhou Hongqi, sitting on the sofa, spoke with an excited tone, “Do you remember the marriage arrangement with the Li Family?”

Liu Yanfang nodded, “I know, Grandpa Bai said the Li Family is quite wealthy, didn’t he?

Before he died, he also told us that the marriage arrangement was off.

He didn’t want his old friend to think he was seeking power and influence.”

Zhou Hongqi said, “The old man knew nothing; I’ve found out that this Li Family is the richest in the world, that Li Family!”

Liu Yanfang and Zhou Jingya grasped the key point; marrying into the Li Family would make Zhou Jingya a wealthy lady.

Wealth and power within reach; whatever you want, you get!

It would be a breeze to assist Zhou Hongqi.

Zhou Jingya was pondering something as she sat excitedly on the sofa, “Dad, shall we visit the Li Family tomorrow?

If I can marry in, I will definitely help our family and expand the company!”

Zhou Hongqi loved to hear these words from Zhou Jingya; they struck a chord with him.

“Xiao Ya, I haven’t cared for you for nothing.

Go to bed early tonight, dress up well tomorrow, and visit Mr.

Li with me.

As long as he agrees, then he’ll take us to meet Li Yehan, and our fortune will follow.”

Zhou Jingya nodded happily and went upstairs to sleep, aiming to present her best to the Li Family.

…

Nan Qiao arrived home and found out that Li Yehan had come.

The family walked in to see Li Yehan sitting and having tea in the living room.

The chandelier above in the living room shone on Li Yehan, enveloping him in an aura of light.

Hearing the sound of voices, Li Yehan slowly looked up, his gaze landing first on Nan Qiao and not moving away. free𝑤ebnovel.com

His doting gaze made Nan Qiao somewhat embarrassed.

As everyone entered, Li Yehan greeted the elders separately.

Bai Yurou took the initiative to say, “Brother Ye Han, good evening.”

She didn’t dare to call him “Brother Ye Han” out of fear of being scolded.

Li Yehan’s gaze never veered toward Bai Yurou; it remained fixed on Nan Qiao.

“Qiaoqiao, I need to speak with you about something; how about we step outside to talk?

Is that okay?”

He was asking for Nan Qiao’s opinion, his gaze so sincere that it was impossible to decline.

Nan Qiao, seeing her family members still around, nodded her head.

Li Yehan had asked her to step outside; the matter must be something he didn’t want the family to know about.

Nan Qiao followed Li Yehan outside, leaving Bai Jingrui dumbstruck.

Just as he was about to move forward, Grandpa Bai grabbed his arm.

“Lao San, what are you planning to do?”

Bai Jingrui, “Grandpa, Li Yehan is clearly coveting my little sister!”

Grandpa Bai, “Do you think I don’t know that?”

Bai Jingrui, ??

So, is Grandpa agreeing to let my sister be with Li Yehan?

Bai Jingrui, “Where’s my three-meter-long broadsword!

Grandpa, I do not approve of Li Yehan becoming my brother-in-law!

Just look at Li Yehan’s face, it’s darker than the sky at dusk.

His methods are even crueler than those of a gagger.

My sister is as tender as a flower; can she withstand his torment?”

Everyone: …

It’s one thing to talk, but nonsense won’t be tolerated.

Chen Xinwan, “Bai Jingrui, your sister is merely discussing business with Li Yehan.

You speak as though your sister has fallen in love.

Let me tell you, if you don’t start taking your responsibilities seriously, you’ll have to come back and take over the family business!”

Bai Zhenyang, “Your elder brothers are out there soaring; Bai Jingrui, it’s time for you to come home and help too.

Quit dreaming of being a painter.

Do you think you’re Master Shan Shui with an amazing talent for painting?”

Grandpa Bai, “Lao San, look at Qiaoqiao, she just took over the company and has already fought a beautiful battle to turn things around.

As her third brother, can you afford not to put in some effort?”

Bai Jingrui, feeling guilty and restless from the nagging, slipped away quietly.

Bai Yurou stood aside, her hatred for Nan Qiao growing even stronger.

Ever since Nan Qiao returned, her capability had overshadowed everyone else’s, often making her feel as if she was about to be swept out the door!

How could she leave the Bai Family easily, after years of crafting her persona?

She had to keep the entire Bai Family in the palm of her hand!

…

The Bai Family’s estate.

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan were walking along the path in the estate’s garden.

The even path was lined with an abundance of flowers and trees, their fragrance lightly perfuming the air.

The hot summer’s night was cooled by a gentle breeze.

Nan Qiao was the first to speak up, “What did you need to see me about?”

Li Yehan spoke softly, “My grandpa isn’t feeling well and would like you to come by his house tomorrow to check his pulse.”

Nan Qiao was puzzled, was this simple request really something that required Li Yehan to come in person?

Nan Qiao asked in confusion, “Couldn’t you have just called?”

“If I didn’t come in person, how would I have seen you?”

Nan Qiao stopped walking, and Li Yehan did the same, standing in front of her.

Li Yehan lowered his head, and Nan Qiao looked up, their gazes locking.

A flower petal fell nearby, twirling in the wind, landing on Nan Qiao’s head.

Nan Qiao’s face was as beautiful as a peach blossom, with delicate pink cheeks and clear, contrasting black and white eyes, which reflected the streetlights above, shining like the Milky Way.

Li Yehan extended his hand; Nan Qiao’s heart fluttered as if electricity surged through her body, making it impossible for her to look straight into Li Yehan’s eyes.

Feeling Li Yehan drawing closer, Nan Qiao’s heart raced even faster.

Li Yehan removed the flower petal from her head and whispered in her ear, “What are you afraid of?

Are you afraid I’ll kiss you?”
