Chapter 1042: I'll Accept It No Matter What
Nie Yao lowered her head and looked at the bank card handed to her by her grandfather. She shook her head and smiled, declining politely: "Grandpa, I can't take this card!"
As if Old Nie had known that Nie Yao would refuse to accept the card, he earnestly advised, "Ayao, this surveillance system is installed in our old house. You're doing this for the good of an old man like me. How can I let you pay for it all by yourself? Besides, I know it's definitely not cheap. How much money can you make from archaeology now? You even refused to accept the compensation your father gave you before..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly, but still pushed the bank card back and answered honestly, "Grandpa, I don't have much money, but I'm also a member of the Nie family. Helping you install this system is my way of showing my appreciation! As for the money, don't worry. Li Jinxing gave me a card, so you don't have to pay me anymore!"
Elder Nie was stunned for a moment, then asked thoughtfully, "So Li Jinxing knew about this and even paid for it?"
"Yes, he agrees with me. He was the one who gave me the card..." Nie Yao saw that her grandfather seemed a little worried, so she smiled and comforted him, "Grandpa, he's my fiancé, and he's also a member of our Nie family. It's not surprising that he contributes to the Nie family. Just think of this as a mutual gesture from both of us!"
"You're all good kids, I know..." Old Nie nodded slightly, sighed softly, took Nie Yao's hand and patted it, saying kindly, "Ayao, I'm very happy and comforted that you're so kind, but I can't let you spend this money! You grew up away from the Nie family and have suffered a lot. The Nie family owes you, and so does Grandpa, so you must accept this card no matter what!"
"But grandpa..." Nie Yao wanted to say something, but Old Nie interrupted her with a smile.
"Alright, A'yao, what Grandpa has given out, there's absolutely no reason to take it back! Li Jinxing is willing to give you the card because he's sincere, but you're also the daughter of our Nie family. If you need to do something, you can't be without money. If he has to pay for everything, he'll always be looked down upon for no reason! So you must accept this card!"
Nie Yao was at a loss for words. She wanted to tell her grandfather that Li Jinxing was not that kind of person and would not look down on her just because she had no money!
But seeing that her grandfather was so serious and his attitude was very stubborn, Nie Yao knew that refusing would only make him unhappy, so she could only nod helplessly and accept the card.
"Okay, Grandpa, since you said so, I'll take it first, but I won't use the money inside unless it's absolutely necessary!"
Nie Yao carefully placed the card into her wallet. Old Nie smiled with satisfaction and nodded, saying, "Since I've given you this card, it's yours. How do you want to use it? Grandpa won't interfere!"
Because Nie Yao accepted the card, Mr. Nie was in a much better mood than the previous two days. He even pulled Nie Yao to the study and asked her to look at the words he had written.
Nie Yao had originally planned to spend the entire afternoon with her grandfather. While discussing calligraphy and painting with her grandfather, she also chatted for a while about Mr. Xia's calligraphy and painting.
Finally, he got in the mood, picked up the brush his grandfather handed him, and wrote a picture himself.
This was the first time Elder Nie had seen Nie Yao's calligraphy. He couldn't help but look at her in surprise and praised her repeatedly, "Ayao, I didn't expect your calligraphy to be so good..."
