After Swapping Lives, the Metaphysics Side Character Became the Wealthy Family's Beloved - Chapter 124

The girl before him had calm eyes, devoid of any trace of emotion.

“Li Qiao…”

“Dr. Jian, the Jian family has already given me their thanks. There’s no need for anything else.”

Li Qiao had no interest in delving into what Jian Lanfeng was thinking.

Her attitude toward him was distant, and Jian Lanfeng felt a pang in his heart. In the end, he said nothing more.

After leaving the Li residence, Li Qiao shrugged casually.

“Qiaoqiao, what was he here for?”

“Probably to visit Grandpa.”

Li Shaoyu didn’t believe it.

He warned Li Qiao, “Stay away from him in the future.”

Huh?

Li Qiao looked at Li Shaoyu curiously. Everyone else spoke highly of Jian Lanfeng, yet her fourth brother didn’t like him.

“Don’t assume he’s a good person just because he’s a doctor. Qiaoqiao, we shouldn’t have professional bias. Jian Lanfeng is ruthless—he’s no good.”

He might appear refined on the surface, but inside, he was rotten to the core.

Li Qiao nodded solemnly. “Got it. I’ll listen to you, Fourth Brother.”

“Good. That’s my sweet little sister. Your brother would never lie to you.”

Li Shaoyu basked in his sister’s obedience. Ah, what a pity he’d missed so many years with her.

Thankfully, they’d found Qiaoqiao again.

Suddenly, Li Qiao blurted out, “Fourth Brother, drive me to the supermarket.”

“Huh? Whatever you need, just tell me. I’ll have someone deliver it. No need to go yourself.”

Fourth Brother was really throwing his wealth around!

“It’s better if I go myself.”

“Fine. I’m free anyway. Let’s go together.”

Li Qiao had originally planned to go to the supermarket, but after checking her phone, she directed him to a different location.

When they arrived, Li Shaoyu stared at the bustling farmers’ market in disbelief.

It was his first time in such a down-to-earth place, with vendors selling everything imaginable.

As they passed a butcher’s stall, Li Qiao stopped.

“Boss, I’ll take all these pork bones.”

“Coming right up!” The butcher happily packed them for her. His meat was always fresh.

After saving the butcher’s number, Li Qiao left.

“Qiaoqiao, you just ordered a whole month’s worth of pork bones. Isn’t that too much?”

Who could eat pork bones every single day?

Li Qiao added the butcher on WeChat. For the next month, he’d deliver fresh bones daily, saving her a lot of trouble.

“It’s not too much. Mr. He needs them.”

Wait, what?

Li Shaoyu instantly felt a surge of anger. Qiaoqiao was buying these for He Jingnian?

He was annoyed. What right did that man have to receive such care from Qiaoqiao?

Oh no—was his little sister turning into a lovesick fool?

Li Qiao picked out plenty of fruits and vegetables, while Li Shaoyu handled the heavy lifting.

Once they returned home, Liu Yusi exclaimed, “Qiaoqiao, Shaoyu, did you two go on a shopping spree?”

“Your precious daughter bought all this. Hmph, most of it’s for someone else.”

Liu Yusi’s eyes gleamed with curiosity. “Who?”

“Mom, these pork bones are for Mr. He—to make soup. I’ll send him some every day to help him recover. He saved my life.”

Li Qiao explained everything honestly.

Liu Yusi and Li Shaoyu were stunned, then immediately pressed for details.

How could she have been in danger?

They anxiously examined Li Qiao, afraid she’d been hurt. Feeling their concern, her heart warmed.

She recounted everything that had happened with the Li family.

“The Li family has brought this upon themselves. They deserve it! How dare they bully my precious daughter? This isn’t over.”

Liu Yusi’s emotions fluctuated between relief and fury. Thank goodness He Jingnian had saved Li Qiao.

Otherwise—

She’d only just gotten her daughter back!

Tears welled in Liu Yusi’s eyes as hatred for the Li family burned in her heart.

Ancestral spirits? Ghosts?

Li Shaoyu pinched his thigh hard, wincing in pain.

Li Qiao and Liu Yusi both turned to look at him.

He grinned awkwardly. “I just… can’t believe it.”

Suddenly, Li Shaoyu remembered something. His gaze grew increasingly strange as he stared at Li Qiao. “That day with the endless thunder… Could it have been…?”

Li Qiao nodded.

Li Shaoyu shot to his feet, his expression shifting rapidly.

His heart raced wildly.

My sister… my sister can summon lightning?!

What kind of celestial being was she? His eyes burned with awe as he stared at her.

“Li Shaoyu, act normal. You’ll scare Qiaoqiao.”

“Mom… I’m trying my best to hold it together.”

Liu Yusi couldn’t bear to look at him.

The fact that Qiaoqiao had been in danger without her knowing filled Liu Yusi with guilt. She gripped Li Qiao’s hands tightly.

The Li family wouldn’t get away with this.

She immediately called Li Shanchuan to complain!

Before long, Sun Ying arrived.

She fell to her knees before Li Qiao, pleading, “Master, please help my daughter. She died unjustly!”

Li Youwei had been schemed to death by Li Jianqiang. Li Qiao looked at Sun Ying calmly.

“The dead cannot return to life. Li Youwei is gone—her soul has already entered the underworld.”

“Youwei… Youwei…”

Sun Ying collapsed to the floor, sobbing uncontrollably.

“Do good deeds in her name. Pray for her. It’ll lessen her sins and ensure a better next life.”
