Chapter 1128 Something happened at home again
Nie Yao couldn't help but shake her head, exchanged a glance with Li Jinxing, and replied with a smile, "It depends on your performance... If you perform well on this archaeological project, I'll consider taking you with me in the future!"
Steve perked up immediately after hearing this. He patted his chest and said to the two of them, "Don't worry, I will definitely live up to my mission!"
He finished his meal as quickly as possible and then went to work on the unfinished work at hand!
Seeing Steve leave so quickly, Li Jinxing and Nie Yao couldn't help but smile at each other.
The afternoon heat near the mountains grew increasingly intense. Li Jinxing noticed that Nie Yao's face seemed to have turned red from the sun, and the sweat on her forehead hadn't dried. He picked up a towel and wiped her clean, then asked softly, "Isn't it too hot? Why don't you just go back this afternoon..."
"It's okay. I'm used to it anyway. Besides, I'm not done here yet. I took a lot of useful photos in an important secret room, and I'll have to study them carefully later!"
Nie Yao said with a faint smile. Seeing that Li Jinxing seemed to be hesitant to speak, she quickly asked, "What's wrong? Do you have anything else to say to me?"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly, took out her phone and handed it back to her, explaining in a low voice: "Yaoyao, your phone was left with me just now. While I was waiting for you, I received a call from your housekeeper Lu from the Nie family..."
Before he could finish his words, Nie Yao hurriedly asked nervously, "Butler Lu called? What happened? Is there something wrong with my grandfather?"
She took out her cell phone and started looking through messages to see if her father had sent her a message. Li Jinxing relayed what Butler Lu had said to her.
When she heard that her grandfather had suffered a high blood pressure attack due to anger from her second uncle and Nie Jinxi and was in critical condition, Nie Yao stood up angrily, her face full of rage and her brows furrowed.
"Second Uncle and Nie Jinxi are going too far. Grandpa is already in the hospital. How could they...how could they be so rebellious?"
Nie Yao was so angry that she wanted to rush over to this shameless father and daughter and have a good fight with them. Li Jinxing quickly grabbed her shoulders and whispered soothingly, "Yaoyao, don't worry. Your grandfather has always been strong, he'll be fine. As for your second uncle and Nie Jinxi, they won't be so arrogant for long..."
"No, they've really gone too far this time. They acted like this when I wasn't around Grandpa. First, they made Grandpa fall down and be hospitalized out of anger, and now they're going to the hospital together to cause trouble for him!"
Nie Yao gnashed her teeth as she spoke, "I don't think they'll stop until they piss Grandpa off to death and carve up the Nie family fortune. My dad alone can't stop them!"
After she finished speaking, she said in a deep voice, "No, I think I still have to go back!"
"Yaoyao, why don't you call your dad first and ask about your grandfather's condition..." Seeing that she was about to rush back impulsively, Li Jinxing hurriedly whispered to persuade her.
She hadn't had a good rest since she flew to Egypt, except for a nap to adjust to the jet lag. She had just come out of the underground, and if she had to rush back again, her body wouldn't be able to take it!
"Okay!" Nie Yao calmed down a little after hearing what Li Jinxing said, and quickly picked up the phone to call her father.
After waiting for a moment, her father answered the phone, and Nie Yao immediately asked, "Dad, how is my grandfather? Butler Lu said he's trying to save him. How is he doing now? Is Grandpa back?"
