Rebirth Stories #1 (Book 1)

Chapter 4

At the mention of Nan Qiao, her third brother, Nan Hao, frowned and replied, "Nan Qiao doesn't like to eat these. We should give it all to Zhi Zhi. It's precisely because Zhi Zhi is recuperating that she needs more nourishment."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Qiao walked in and glanced at the cake on the table before quickly looking away.

"Yo, who did a good deed and rewarded you with a slap?" Nan Hao asked gloatingly when he saw the mark on Nan Qiao's face.

"It has nothing to do with you." Nan Qiao walked past coldly without stopping.

"Qiao Qiao, come and try Auntie's new cake?" He Qian called out to Nan Qiao affectionately and asked with a smile.

Nan Qiao ignored her and went upstairs.

Nan Hao bit the cake fiercely. He felt very annoyed. This lass was still so arrogant even after being beaten up. What was this wretched girl so arrogant for?

"Auntie, don't worry about her. Look at her attitude. She deserves to be beaten up."

At night, Nan Kang went home and brought Nan Zhi back. The family was chatting and laughing in the living room, especially Nan Zhi, who did not look like someone who had just broken her leg.

Nan Qiao went downstairs to get some water and happened to see this harmonious scene. The smile on her face was full of mockery. Her eldest brother and third brother were actually sitting beside He Qian. Those who didn't know better would think that they were biological mother and sons who had a good relationship.

Nan Jin had just come downstairs and saw Nan Qiao sitting at the side drinking water. He weighed the pear in his hand for a long time before throwing it to her.

Nan Qiao looked at the pear in her hand and felt very strange. When did Nan Jin become so kind as to not isolate her and even give her food to eat?

Could it be that he had poisoned this pear?

Unexpectedly, Nan Xuan saw this scene.

Nan Xuan immediately reprimanded her sourly, "You didn't even come down for dinner. You only know how to eat snacks."

Seeing Nan Jin give Nan Qiao a pear, Nan Zhi wondered if something had happened when she was not around.

Nan Zhi acted coquettishly from afar, her hands on her legs as she twisted her body. "Second Brother, I want to eat a pear too. Can you help me bring it?"

Nan Jin paused for a moment, as if he was making a very difficult choice.

"What are you waiting for?" Seeing that he did not move, Nan Xuan frowned and came over to take one, but he realized that there was none left.

His gaze then naturally locked onto the pear in Nan Qiao's hand.

Nan Zhi pursed her lips imperceptibly. Why didn't Nan Jin give her the pear just now?

However, in the blink of an eye, the radiant smile on her face returned. She looked at the pear in Nan Qiao's hand with desire.

"It's fine. Since there's no more, Elder Sister can have it. It doesn't matter."

He Qian leaned towards Nan Zhi and hugged her daughter.

"I'll go buy more tomorrow. It's fine if you don't eat tonight."

Nan Zhi forced a smile. "Got it, Mom. I don't know what's wrong either. Ever since my legs were injured, I've been craving for a pear. However, I don't want to snatch it from Elder Sister."

"Mother, my leg hurts..." Nan Zhi hugged He Qian tightly, acting coquettishly with tears in her eyes.

Nan Xuan gaze landed on the pear in Nan Qiao's hand, and she looked back at him steadily.
