From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 363: Men Die for Money, Birds Die for Food

Hearing what Chen Hesong said, Chen Man was flabbergasted: "Really? Dad, you can’t be fooling me."

"Why would I fool you? I genuinely have no money left. Didn’t you say Lu Zhengyang is capable? Why isn’t he coming to rescue me?" Chen Hesong sighed repeatedly as he spoke.

No matter what Chen Man said, Chen Hesong insisted that the family was out of money.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Chang felt bitter.

"Our Manman, she’s never suffered since she was a child, whatever she wanted, she got. I really didn’t expect that the grown-up Manman would be so disobedient!"

Chi Chang then said, "Don’t tell Manman about my pregnancy, I’m afraid she might not take it well."

Chen Hesong nodded: "Let’s talk about it later. Lu Zhengyang, that little jerk, I really want to wring his neck!"

...

Lu Zhengyang walked along the roadside, taking several detours to make sure no one was following him, then arrived at a clubhouse.

He pushed open one of the private rooms and locked the door behind him.

There was a woman sitting opposite him, heavily wrapped up; he could only tell she was a woman by her figure.

Lu Zhengyang sat down and said sternly, "The plan you mentioned is useless now! Chen Hesong’s family is going bankrupt!"

The woman laughed and said, "So? Are you planning to give up on Chen Man?"

"Her family has no money, the company is bankrupt, what’s the point of staying with her? I have better options!"

The woman scoffed, "You men, always prioritizing your interests. But I suggest you calm down, some things can’t just be judged by their appearances."

"What should I look at then?" Lu Zhengyang snorted coldly.

The woman said, "You can look at the Bai Family. Chen Hesong is Chen Xinwan’s older brother, their families are the closest, and Chen Xinwan wouldn’t ignore Chen Hesong! If it really comes to that, you can make Chen Man apologize and bow down to Nan Qiao."

"Do you think that’s possible? You’re a woman too, would you be happy being forced to apologize?"

The woman: "..."

Damn, that really hurts.

The woman said angrily, "Do you have any better ideas?"

Lu Zhengyang stayed silent.

The woman laughed lightly, "Since there’s no better idea, just shut your mouth and do as I say! Chen Hesong has been cursed and won’t last long. Once he’s dead, you marry Chen Man and the company is yours, right?"

Lu Zhengyang, contemplating such a good opportunity, finally compromised.

People die for wealth; birds die for food.

...

After Lu Zhengyang left, the woman he met with got into a car.

She removed her hat and took off her mask.

Li Xia had a venomous look on her face; Lu Zhengyang’s words reminded her of her own apology to Nan Qiao.

Li Xia took out her phone and called Li Ye, "With Li Yehan away, hurry up and execute the plan. If we wait any longer, we’ll get nothing."

The call was received by Li Ye, who was in an underground hospital.

He hung up the phone, put on a sterile suit, and walked into the operating room.

In the operating room, someone lay there while a doctor performed a skin graft surgery on her.

Li Ye didn’t ask; he just stood by and watched.

...

Nan Qiao took the afternoon off from school to perform surgery on Yao Yuzhi.

Zheng Qinnian came with four assistants to support this surgery.

Chen Hesong, wanting to give the old lady a will to live, told her about Chi Chang’s pregnancy.

The old lady was extremely excited, as if she wanted to see the child right then and there.

The family exchanged a few words, and Yao Yuzhi was wheeled into the operating room.

The others waited outside.

...

Chen Hesong walked to the stairwell with his phone and called Chen Man.

"Chen Man, today is the day your grandma is having surgery, she loves you so much, why didn’t you come!"

"Dad, I forgot! Sorry, I am celebrating Brother Zhengyang’s birthday, I forgot; has grandma entered the operating room yet?"

"She is already in the operating room."

Chen Man said: "When will grandma’s surgery be finished? I will wait for her to come out and then go to the hospital."

"Chen Man, you really don’t deserve your grandma’s love for you, I don’t have such a love-brained daughter!"

Chen Hesong angrily hung up the phone.

Thinking of Chen Man, Chen Hesong was so mad he wanted to slap her to teach her how to behave.

Chen Hesong walked out, encountered Chi Chang, and shook his head at her.

Chi Chang sighed: "Manman is becoming more and more disobedient, how could I have such a love-brained daughter!"

Chen Hesong weakly said: "Like me..."

Chi Chang: "..."

...

The surgery was very successful.

Yao Yuzhi was wheeled into the ward for observation, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Nan Qiao took off her surgical gown and went to Zheng Qinnian’s office.

Yao Yuzhi had been transferred to Zheng Qinnian’s hospital earlier, which made things more convenient for everyone.

Nan Qiao said: "The caregivers will keep an eye on grandma’s condition; once she wakes up and there are no issues, she can be discharged after two days of observation."

Chen Hesong was extremely grateful: "Qiaoqiao, thank you, thank you so much, you truly are the lucky star of our family."

Chi Chang: "Since Qiaoqiao came back, our big family has been doing better and better, Qiaoqiao is indeed a lucky star!"

"Uncle, aunty, you are too kind. Grandma is my family too, I’m just doing what I should," Nan Qiao politely said.

Chen Xinwan said with concern: "Qiaoqiao, I asked Sister Liu to make some soup, we will properly nourish you when you get home."

"Mom, I’m not tired, don’t worry," Nan Qiao said with a smile.

Chen Hesong said: "I’ve bought some tonics, they will be delivered to the house soon, and it’s perfect for Sister Liu to prepare. Sister Liu is really good at cooking, and she can make soup too; I feel assured when she handles the ingredients."

Chi Chang also said: "I’ve picked out some gifts for Qiaoqiao, they should be delivered to the house shortly. Qiaoqiao, I really feel bad for the trouble you’ve gone through for our family."

Nan Qiao politely said: "Uncle, aunty, you are too kind. These are things I should do; you don’t need to send any gifts."

Chi Chang laughed and said: "This is just a small token of our appreciation, Qiaoqiao, you must accept it."

Chen Xinwan with tender eyes: "Qiaoqiao, just accept aunty’s little token of appreciation."

Nan Qiao had to accept: "Thank you uncle, thank you aunty."

After exchanging a few friendly words, Nan Qiao left.

She received a message from Dong Qingqing saying that an experiment had been added at the last minute and told her to hurry to the school.

Nan Qiao sent a message to Lv Cancan, and the result was also to do an experiment, so Nan Qiao hurried to the school.

...

Nan Qiao entered the school with urgency in her steps, afraid of being late.

She ran to the teaching building, passing through a bamboo grove, which was a shorter route and could save time.

Before she got out of the bamboo grove, Nan Qiao stopped; she had a bad feeling, sensing danger approaching.

Nan Qiao looked around but saw no one.

The bamboo grove was lush, and people usually passed through here.

What happened today, why is there no one here?

Nan Qiao shouted: "Who is there, come out, hiding like this, how are you a hero!"

Just as Nan Qiao was about to step away, a baseball bat flew towards her...
