Chapter 1149 Family is More Important
"No, I've temporarily handed my work over to my junior, and I'm connecting with him remotely..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly and said to the worried Old Nie, "So, Grandpa, you don't have to worry. I came back this time just for you. I will stay and take care of you until you get better!"
Upon hearing this, Mr. Nie was delighted at first, but then he thought of something, shook his head in disapproval, and sighed softly.
"Grandpa, what's wrong?" Nie Yao was somewhat surprised by his grandfather's reaction and asked hesitantly, "You don't want me to stay and take care of you?"
Steward Lu beside him also said with a smile: "Miss, how could that be? During the days you were away, our master was thinking about you every day and was looking forward to your return..."
At this point, he smiled and joked, "Before, the master didn't have much taste in his food, but now that you're back, the master's food has become more enjoyable. He's eaten quite a few of these apples..."
Nie Yao couldn't help but laugh, winking at her grandfather and saying, "Grandpa, look, Steward Lu said so, why are you sighing?"
"Ayao, of course Grandpa hopes to see you every day, but don't you have an archaeological mission to complete right now?"
Elder Nie shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Grandpa had read the report on the archaeological project you participated in before. It's very important. You are still young and have a bright future. Archaeology is a career you enjoy. Grandpa doesn't want you to delay your future for me..."
"Grandpa, career is important, but family is more important!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly, looking at Elder Nie seriously, and said slowly and solemnly, "When I was with my adoptive father, I always thought I was an orphan who was taken in. Although I have only just been found by the Nie family, you and Dad are my closest relatives. You are now old and in poor health, so of course I have to spend as much time with you as possible..."
She knew that the time she spent with the old man was very limited, especially with Uncle Nie and Nie Jinxi watching closely!
She doesn’t want the tragedy of her mother and grandfather to happen to her own relatives!
"Ayao..." Old Nie's eyes moistened when he heard Nie Yao's serious words. He grabbed Nie Yao's hand and murmured, "You are a good child. Grandpa owes you too much..."
Nie Yao smiled faintly, shook her head, and whispered, "Grandpa, family members shouldn't use the concept of indebtedness. The ancients said that filial piety is the most important virtue... Just think of it as me fulfilling my filial duty, so don't worry about my work, I'll take care of it myself..."
Seeing Nie Yao said this, Old Nie didn't say anything else. He was so happy and moved that tears were about to flow.
"If all the descendants of the Nie family could be like you, grandpa would have less worries..." Old Nie sighed, patted the back of her hand, and was filled with emotion.
"Especially that Nie Jinxi. If she had half the heart you have..."
Whenever Mr. Nie mentioned Nie Jinxi, he felt his heart choked with anxiety.
Housekeeper Lu, standing by, was afraid that Mr. Nie's blood pressure would rise again if he thought of Nie Jinxi, so he quickly smiled and advised, "Master, there's no need to mention those unhappy people. She's not worth your anger..."
"Yes, grandpa, think less about unhappy people and things..." Nie Yao also nodded, took over the words of Butler Lu and comforted him with a smile.
"Okay, okay, Grandpa won't tell you!" Old Nie nodded. Although he had been pissed off by Nie Guanglin and Nie Jinxi before, he still had Nie Yao, his ambitious granddaughter...
