Chapter 442: Chapter 442: Drive Li Yehan Out
Li Yehan, despite being shrewd, feels like he’s entirely love-struck in front of Nan Qiao.
After finishing their meal, the two left the restaurant together.
As they went out, they ran into other members of the Li Family who were coming to dine.
Li Tianhong and Jiang Linyu were with Li Xia and Li Ye, a harmonious and warm family of four.
Nan Qiao took the initiative to hold Li Yehan’s hand: “Let’s go, my second brother said he made me a robot, and asked me to check if I like it.”
Li Yehan responded with a nod and left with Nan Qiao, completely avoiding a glance at Li Tianhong’s side.
Li Tianhong was infuriated by Li Yehan: “This ungrateful son, he has neither manners nor courtesy. He’s trying to drive me mad!”
Jiang Linyu gently soothed his emotions: “You know Yehan’s temper, don’t get upset over it; it’s bad for your health.”
Li Tianhong let out an angry sigh, his eyes icily watching the direction in which Li Yehan left.
At this moment, Li Xia interjected: “Since Nan Qiao is with Brother Ye Han, why doesn’t she persuade him? We are all a family, breaking the bonds yet staying connected by sinews; we shouldn’t be so distant.”
Jiang Linyu: “Even if Yehan listens to Nan Qiao, she still needs to persuade him. If Nan Qiao doesn’t, when will our family be complete?”
Li Ye: “I’ll go find Nan Qiao tomorrow, hoping she can persuade Brother so we can eliminate the grudge within our family.”
Li Tianhong became increasingly enraged the more he listened.
“Stop paying attention to him, this ungrateful son, do you really need to bow to him? There’s no need to find him, let’s see how long he can remain arrogant.”
Jiang Linyu showed a satisfied smile in her eyes, and continued to persuade Li Tianhong to go have dinner.
…
Li Yehan drove Nan Qiao back, his emotions stable, not angered by Li Tianhong’s words, behaving as if nothing happened.
Nan Qiao didn’t bring up Li Tianhong, nor did she want to burden Li Yehan.
Li Yehan said: “Qiaoqiao, when we get married and have kids, I’ll definitely be a very good father. I certainly won’t be like Li Tianhong, nor will I ever betray you.”
“I haven’t even married you yet, and you’re already thinking about kids; you’re thinking too far ahead.”
“If possible, I’d really want to marry you right now.”
Nan Qiao: “…”
In Nan Qiao’s view, it’s Li Yehan’s lack of family love that makes him eager to marry and have kids.
…
Li Yehan dropped Nan Qiao off at the Bai Family.
The two walked inside together, to the sound of Bai Jingyan’s voice in the spacious living room.
“Sister will definitely like this robot; it’s something I remade after in-depth research, quite different from before.”
Chen Xinwan: “This time the robot has a square face, I think it’s okay.”
Bai Zhenyang: “Shall I try it? No matter what question I ask, it can answer me?”
“Of course!” Bai Jingyan said with pride.
Bai Zhenyang looked at the machine and began: “Who is Bai Jingyan?”
Robot: It’s my dad, he’s the smartest person in the world.
The family: “…”
Bai Jingyan was speechless at this reply as well.
“The tech department must have done it; this response wasn’t edited by me,” Bai Jingyan hurried to explain.
Bai Jingting: “Who is Nan Qiao?”
Robot: Nan Qiao is my owner, a girl filled with talent and beauty.
The family was quite pleased with this response.
Nan Qiao felt a bit awkward, Bai Jingyan’s company people surely have a way with words.
Just as Nan Qiao and Li Yehan were about to enter, they heard Chen Xinwan asking the robot: “Then who is Li Yehan?”
Robot: Li Yehan is a single dog.
Nan Qiao burst into laughter, catching the family’s attention that she’s back.
Nan Qiao walked in, Bai Jingyan didn’t feel awkward either, happily approaching her: “Sister, this is the robot I got you. You can command her for anything.”
Li Yehan stepped in too, not angered by the robot’s response, with no show of emotion.
“Thank you, Lao San.” Nan Qiao came up to the robot.
The robot stored many photos of people, allowing it to recognize who was speaking to it.
Robot: Hello, master, I am your dedicated robot.
Nan Qiao: “Hello.”
Nan Qiao extended her hand to touch the robot’s hand as a form of interaction.
Seeing Nan Qiao fond of Bai Jingyan’s gift, the family began to speak up.
Bai Zhenyang: “Qiaoqiao, if you like the robot, dad will buy you the latest one first thing tomorrow!”
Chen Xinwan: “Qiaoqiao darling, whatever type of robot you fancy, mom can bring it home for you.”
Bai Jingting: “It’s best if I gift such things to sister, Lao San has given Qiaoqiao a gift, it’s my turn next.”
Nan Qiao: “You don’t need to give me more gifts, I have too many already.”
Li Yehan, who hadn’t spoken, finally did: “Let me gift Qiaoqiao instead.”
The Bai Family simultaneously turned their gaze to Li Yehan.
“No way!” the family exclaimed in unison.
Nan Qiao couldn’t help but smile, caught in the middle feeling a bit helpless.
“Li Yehan, it’s getting late, you should head back.”
Bai Jingyan: “Sister’s right, you should head back. It’s too late, and my sister needs to rest.”
Li Yehan listened to everyone and could only leave.
The desire to stay lingered, the need to marry Qiaoqiao soon returned.
…
Li Yehan left Bai Family, drove back to the manor.
Old Wu followed Li Yehan inside.
Li Yehan sat on the sofa, tugged off his tie, and leaned back.
“Speak.”
Old Wu replied respectfully: “Li Ye wants to bribe the manor’s servants.”
Li Yehan chuckled softly: “A cornered dog, seems he’s out of options.”
“The servant reported to me immediately; Li Ye offered him two million to act.”
“Li Ye’s so generous, what does he want the servant to do?”
“According to the servants, Li Ye wasn’t direct, simply asked them to consider.”
Li Yehan stood up.
“Handle it as you see fit.”
Li Yehan walked upstairs.
…
Nan Qiao was seated at her computer, replying to emails and messages.
She decided not to work on the design plans for now, leaving it all to Deng Bingying.
The pharmaceutical company matters were entrusted to Zheng Qinnian, allowing her some relaxation.
At this time, Huo Siyu called Nan Qiao.
“Qiaoqiao, I’ve encountered someone abroad who’s been in contact with Li Xia. I’m still tracking him, and I’m sure he’s Li Xia’s superior.”
“Si Yu, thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s not troublesome, it’s what I should do; I also want to witness Li Xia’s life being worse than death.”
It’s nearing dawn where Huo Siyu is.
“Qiaoqiao, I’ll stop chatting for now. That person left the hotel, I need to check up.”
Huo Siyu ended the call.
Nan Qiao dialed Hou Ze: “Houzi, have you stationed people with Si Yu? Ensure her safety.”
“Boss, I’m abroad with Si Yu, working on the mission together.”
“Boss, I’ll hang up now.”
Hou Ze was about to get into a car when he encountered someone.
