Chapter 1023 Finding Someone to Help
Hot spring resort hotel.
Nie Yao and Li Jinxing spent a day relaxing in this hot spring resort. They were still thinking about their father and grandfather, and took out their mobile phones from time to time to check messages.
Seeing this, Li Jinxing jokingly said, "Yaoyao, you finally got a chance to relax on vacation, but you're still checking your phone. Are phones really that good?"
"No, I just wanted to see if there was any news from my dad..." Nie Yao sighed softly and answered honestly, "I'm still waiting for my dad's reply. I don't know what the discussion is about between my dad and grandpa!"
"Are you talking about installing a surveillance system in the old house?" Li Jinxing asked with a raised eyebrow and a smile.
"Yeah, I'm worried that Nie Jinxi will go back and continue rummaging through things, so this matter needs to be resolved quickly!" Nie Yao frowned slightly and whispered, "I've been feeling a little uneasy these past two days. I always feel like Nie Jinxi will cause trouble again!"
"Don't worry. You've only caught Nie Jinxi once before. Plus, you asked your father to come home and confront her in front of your grandfather. Even though she didn't steal anything, your father and grandfather will definitely be on guard. If she were any smarter, she wouldn't have made a move in the past few days!"
Li Jinxing squeezed Nie Yao's hand, smiled faintly, and comforted her, "So don't worry too much..."
"That being said, if Nie Jinxi gets desperate, who knows what he might do..."
Nie Yao smiled bitterly and shrugged, whispering, "As for Grandpa, I'm a little worried too. After all, he's quite traditional, and he's the main occupant of the old house. He might not be willing to install a very modern surveillance system!
"Maybe you can find someone to help..." Li Jinxing reminded with a smile.
"Who?" Nie Yao asked doubtfully.
"Xia Chuqi!" Li Jinxing paused after saying the name, then explained with a smile, "Xia Chuqi's father, Old Xia, is a well-known calligrapher and a very traditional old man. Their Xia family's old house is still an ancestral house, and most of the buildings are preserved in their ancient style. However, the house is also equipped with surveillance cameras, so you might as well ask Xia Chuqi how she persuaded her father!"
Nie Yao heard this and thought it made sense. She nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, I forgot. Thank you for reminding me. I'll go find Xia Chuqi right away!"
After she said this, she picked up her phone, went to the terrace, and called Xia Chuqi.
The call was quickly connected, and Xia Chuqi's cheerful voice reached Nie Yao's ears: "Hello, A Yao——"
"Hello, Chuqi..." Nie Yao couldn't help but smile when she heard Xia Chuqi's voice, and asked with concern, "How have you been recently?"
"Not bad, but my two little darlings are a bit noisy. I'm busy with work and trying to take care of two little ones. It's a bit overwhelming..."
Xia Chuqi said this and smiled at Nie Yao, "How are you doing lately? I saw a video of you answering questions from reporters online. You're not the academic goddess I imagined. You're amazing! Your fan base has skyrocketed!"
"On the seventh day of the first lunar month, I had no choice but to respond to those reporters. They had already surrounded my grandfather's Nie family's old house!"
Nie Yao shrugged, feeling both amused and helpless, and whispered, "Stop teasing me. You're so amazing, how dare I be your goddess! In my heart, you're the goddess!"
