Chapter 1004: Fawning
Old Nie responded in a faint tone, but finally took the teacup handed to him by Nie Jinxi and took a sip of tea.
Seeing this, Nie Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief, but had already secretly come up with other ideas in her mind.
Elder Nie took a sip of tea, and his complexion seemed to improve slightly. He looked up at Nie Yao and Nie Jinxi and asked thoughtfully, "How come you two are free and came back at the same time today?"
Before Nie Yao could answer, Nie Jinxi quickly replied, "Grandpa, I saw those bad rumors about the Nie family online this morning. I was a little worried, so I asked for leave from school and came to see you..."
When Nie Yao heard her words, she sneered in her heart. This Nie Jinxi really lied without thinking. She had just told her that she went back to the old house of the Nie family because she had no classes today. Now, in order to please her grandfather, she specially asked for leave from school!
"Really? Well, you're so thoughtful..." Old Nie didn't show any good looks to Nie Jinxi because of what she said. He said indifferently, "I don't have anything here. You shouldn't ask for leave. Just do what you need to do!"
Nie Jinxi didn't gain any advantage from her flattery, and she looked a little embarrassed.
Elder Nie raised his head and looked at Nie Yao, who remained silent. His tone softened a bit, "Ayao, what about you? Did you also see those rumors online, so you came to see an old man like me?"
Seeing his grandfather's straightforward words, Nie Yao smiled and nodded, then whispered, "Grandpa, I saw those negative comments online, and my cousin called to tell me about them. I just realized how quickly our Nie family has been thrust into the spotlight again. I'm worried you'll be upset and unwell, and I'm also worried the media will harass you again. No one answered my phone calls, so I had no choice but to come and see for myself!"
She paused here and continued, "When I came, you and Housekeeper Lu were not at home. I was still wondering, and the maid said you were going to visit an old friend. I was going to wait for a while, and then I ran into Nie Jinxi!"
After Nie Yao said this, she looked at Nie Jinxi meaningfully, but did not continue speaking. However, it was enough to scare Nie Jinxi's heart.
Elder Nie didn't notice the change in Nie Jinxi's expression. He nodded and sighed, "Yes, I did go visit an old friend this morning and discuss some cooperation. As a result, I heard about the news that was making a lot of noise online..."
At this point, his brows furrowed again, and his tone became somewhat serious: "What I was worried about has finally happened. Now many media outlets are fanning the flames, and many people are waiting to see our Nie family make a fool of themselves!"
"Grandpa, don't worry. This time, it's obvious that someone is behind this and deliberately bribed the media to fan the flames. Their goal is to strike down the Nie family!"
Seeing that her grandfather was in a bad mood, Nie Yao quickly comforted him, "The most important thing now is to cool down the fever..."
Elder Nie nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "I thought so too. I can only contact a few old friends in the media to help..."
"Li Jinxing also has a lot of media connections. I'll ask Li Jinxing to help resolve this matter..." Nie Yao quickly replied with a smile.
Elder Nie nodded and was about to say something when Nie Jinxi immediately spoke up, "Nie Yao, stop trying to please me. You said Master Li Jiu has a lot of media connections. I think he might be behind this, deliberately trying to trick the Nie family!"
