Chapter 1152: Always Performing
Nie Guanglin smiled and nodded in agreement. He glanced at Nie Yao, who seemed to be thinking of Nie Jinxi, and said to Old Nie with a smile, "Dad, I want to apologize to you on behalf of Jinxi as well. This girl was confused, so she said those angry words. She's ignorant. Please be magnanimous and don't bother with her!"
Although Elder Nie had temporarily calmed down his anger towards Nie Guanglin, his brows furrowed again when he heard him mention Nie Jinxi. He said unhappily, "Why, she didn't come and apologize to me herself, but instead asked her father to apologize to me? I'm an old man, and I can't afford her to apologize in such a roundabout way!"
"Of course not. She knows she did something wrong. She was so scared after being scolded by you last time that she didn't dare to come to the hospital to apologize to you, fearing that you would kick her out..."
Nie Guanglin quickly explained to Old Master Nie on behalf of his daughter, Nie Jinxi, and didn't forget to play the victim for Nie Jinxi: "After she went back, she knew she had said and done the wrong thing, and she kept crying!"
Elder Nie frowned and remained silent, obviously doubting whether Nie Guanglin's words were true or not. After all, Nie Jinxi's words were still ringing in his ears, and he had not forgotten that Nie Jinxi had returned to the Nie family's old house to steal something...
Nie Yao watched his second uncle's performance with cold eyes. Initially, out of consideration for Grandpa's feelings, he hadn't mocked him directly. But now, hearing him plead with Nie Jinxi, he finally couldn't stand it anymore. He sneered and said, "Second Uncle, from what I know, Nie Jinxi isn't so courageous. Why would he be so scared by Grandpa's yelling that he wouldn't dare come..."
"You're not at home, what do you know?" Nie Guanglin's face darkened slightly and he responded unhappily.
Nie Yao's lips curled slightly, and she said with a half-smile, "I just went to school to look for Nie Jinxi. She was very happy in her dance class. She didn't look like she was crying much, nor did she look apologetic at all!"
Upon hearing this, Nie Guanglin's expression changed slightly. He looked at Nie Yao with suspicion. "What did you say? You went to the school to look for her? When did you go? Weren't you in Egypt before?"
Old Master Nie and Father Nie also looked at Nie Yao in surprise. They didn't expect that she had gone to find Nie Jinxi!
"After Li Jinxing and I got off the plane, we simply went to South China University. It just so happened that she was taking an elective dance class!" Nie Yao said with a faint smile, and Li Jinxing nodded slightly.
Nie Guanglin initially doubted the truthfulness of Nie Yao's words, but when he saw Li Jinxing nod, he didn't dare say anything more. He muttered softly, "Why did you go to see her when you were all right? I thought the first thing you did after you came back was come to the hospital to see your grandfather!"
Father Nie vaguely guessed his daughter's intention of looking for Nie Jinxi, but he didn't ask too much openly. He just planned to find Nie Yao privately to ask about the situation later.
When Elder Nie heard Nie Guanglin's complaints, he didn't take them seriously. He looked at Nie Yao with a friendly smile and asked, "Ayao, why did you go to see her as soon as you got back? What did you talk about?"
"I can't help it. I also heard that Grandpa was mad at her, so of course he went to criticize and teach her a lesson!"
Nie Yao shrugged and looked at Nie Guanglin again, a sneer on his lips. "Uncle, I don't know what Nie Jinxi told you, but I have every right to come back to find her this time. After all, not only did she anger Grandpa so much that he had to be hospitalized, she also stole valuable jewelry from my room! Tell me, should I go and ask for it back?"
