From Rejected Fake Heiress to Desired True Love-Chapter 402: Picking Trouble in the Store

Nan Qiao asked Houzi to investigate, and sure enough, it turned out to be Lu Zhengyang.

Nan Qiao explained everything about Lu Zhengyang to Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai, including Lu Zhengyang being involved with Chen Man.

Chi Chang and Chen Hesong came to Jing City solely because of Chen Man.

Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai did not meddle in Chen Xinwan’s family matters and were unaware of this situation.

Nan Qiao said, "Lu Zhengyang is a man of dubious character, and Grandpa Lu doesn’t even acknowledge his identity. I suspect that Grandpa Lu ended up this way because of Lu Zhengyang and his mother’s doings."

Following Nan Qiao’s analysis, Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai also began to suspect Grandpa Lu and Ren Yongshi.

"Grandpa and Grandma, I’ll hire someone to investigate this matter. If it indeed turns out to be Lu Zhengyang and Ren Yongshi’s doing, we’ll definitely hand them over to the police."

As for Lu Tianlei, he’s no good either.

Having children like that would have been better avoided altogether.

Grandpa Bai sighed, "Back then, Bai Yurou nearly caused the downfall of our family. If it really is Ren Yongshi who harmed Old Lu, I wouldn’t be surprised."

Granny Bai nodded in agreement, "Qiaoqiao, your grandpa makes a good point. That very well could be the case."

When they heard Nan Qiao mention Lu Zhengyang, they immediately felt he was connected to the matter.

...

Ren Yongshi was having breakfast when Mrs. Rong approached and whispered something in her ear.

Ren Yongshi froze, "Is that true?"

"Absolutely," Mrs. Rong replied as Ren Yongshi put down her chopsticks.

Ren Yongshi swiftly went to her room, locked the door, pulled out her phone, and made a call.

"The caretaker says those two decrepit old codgers from the Bai Family brought their newly-found granddaughter to see that decrepit old man from the Lu Family. Will this expose things? I also heard Nan Qiao has gone back to studying medical skills."

"Why are you panicking? How big is this issue to make you so flustered? Stay calm. Eat your meals, spend your money, and don’t let others see you’re anxious. Got it?"

Ren Yongshi murmured a few affirmations, "I won’t lose my composure."

Once she panicked, everything she had would be gone. She couldn’t afford to lose her calm.

...

Receiving the call, Jiang Linyu began to panic.

Li Xia, sitting on the bed, was equally unsettled.

"Damn Nan Qiao! She meddles in everything we do! She’s asking for trouble!" Li Xia vented in fury.

Jiang Linyu was as restless as an ant on a hot pan; although she wanted to pace back and forth, being confined to her wheelchair prevented her.

Jiang Linyu exclaimed angrily, "Nan Qiao must be eliminated. Her presence will undoubtedly ruin our plans. If she discovers the Lu Family matter, all the efforts we’ve poured over the years will be completely wasted."

"Mom, I agree we should get rid of Nan Qiao. If we’re willing to pay, we can hire a capable hitman. The top ten assassins we hired before ran into issues, so this time let’s go for mercenaries. They’re fearless as long as the money is right."

Jiang Linyu shook her head, "No outsiders this time. We’ll use our own people."

Li Xia: ??

"Mom, are you insane? If we’re discovered, we’re done for too!"

"It’s either them or us. Without taking risks, how can we expect success?"

Li Xia said nothing further; she still felt it wasn’t a wise approach.

The two continued to re-discuss their plans regarding this matter.

...

Nan Qiao went to school to prepare for a competition, working towards her early graduation.

Lv Cancan held a signed photo of Bai Jingrui, exclaiming in excitement, "Qiaoqiao, look! I got Brother Bai’s signed photo!"

Nan Qiao took out several signed photos of Bai Jingrui from her bag, "I asked someone to get these for you."

Seeing the photos, Lv Cancan was so thrilled she was about to lose her mind.

"Oh my gosh, Qiaoqiao, you’re amazing! How did you get Brother Bai’s autographed photos? Qiaoqiao, you’re my lucky star—my Qiaoqiao, you’re incredible!"

Lv Cancan hugged Nan Qiao, lifting her up and even spinning her in a circle.

Dong Qingqing noticed the signed photos on the table and recalled seeing Nan Qiao chatting and laughing with her boyfriend and Bai Jingrui on the film set. A surge of displeasure filled her heart.

Why were the things she struggled to obtain so easy for Nan Qiao to get?

Dong Qingqing said nothing; she didn’t want to see Lv Cancan and Nan Qiao’s joyful interactions.

Although she avoided looking, she still overheard Nan Qiao speaking.

"Cancan, all these signed photos are yours. Feel free to distribute them to friends or keep them."

Nan Qiao knew Lv Cancan was a die-hard fan of Brother Bai and had connections with many fans who adored Bai Jingrui.

"Qiaoqiao, thank you so much."

"You’re welcome."

Lv Cancan walked over to Dong Qingqing with the photos, "Qingqing, look! Nan Qiao got us these signed photos. Choose one; I know you’ve wanted one for a long time."

Strangely, Dong Qingqing didn’t show her usual enthusiasm; she was incredibly calm.

"I don’t want it."

Lv Cancan asked in confusion, "Why don’t you want it? Haven’t you wanted one for a long time?"

Dong Qingqing stood up in displeasure, "I just don’t want it."

Dong Qingqing left the dormitory.

Lv Cancan exclaimed in shock, "Could she think the photos are from Nan Qiao, so she doesn’t want them? Is she crazy?"

Nan Qiao calmly picked up her bag, "If she doesn’t want them, they’re all yours."

Lv Cancan awkwardly scratched her head, unsure of Dong Qingqing’s intentions.

She thought Qiaoqiao was a great roommate! ƒгeewёbnovel.com

If someone didn’t want a roommate like this, what kind of roommate were they looking for?

...

Nan Qiao left school and received a call from Deng Bingying.

"Mr. Qiao, do you have a moment? Can you come over? We have a particularly difficult customer at the store. She’s unimpressed with the clothes. Even the custom designs we made don’t satisfy her. She’s also threatening to tell the media that our company can’t meet customer expectations and claims all the designers are incompetent."

Nan Qiao: "..."

Was this someone stirring up trouble?

"I’ll head over now. Treat her politely for now; let’s see what she’s really after."

Nan Qiao drove over.

At the same time, a lavishly-dressed lady arrived at the store.

The woman sipped her tea while scrutinizing the store manager.

"Your Huai Xi store has this level of capability? I can’t find a single outfit here that I like. Your designers—such lack of skill! Do you even have the ability to manage a store? Shut it down!"

The store manager maintained a smile and remained courteous, "Ma’am, the clothes in our store sell very well; orders are booked up until next year. If the store’s selection doesn’t meet your taste, how about we offer private customization? Our designers can create bespoke designs just for you."

"What do you mean by that? Are you mocking me for not being able to afford it? Get your designer out here! I have plenty of money. If I want a design, I can get it anywhere. Do you need me to tell you that? Who’s in charge here? Bring them out—I need a proper conversation about how you serve customers in this store!"

The store manager responded politely, "Ma’am, I did not mean to offend. I just thought private customization would be the best option, allowing any design of your choice."

The woman angrily shoved the store manager, "Is this how you treat customers? Do you believe I won’t slap you?"
