Chapter 1155 I Can’t Protect You
Nie Jinxi's expression changed slightly. She hadn't expected that Master Li Jiu would accompany Nie Yao back this time. She asked hesitantly, "Dad, where are you now? Why is Master Li Jiu here too?"
"Of course I'm in the hospital. Last time, your grandfather got so angry that he fell ill. I happened to come to the hospital today to apologize to your grandfather, but Nie Yao and Master Li Jiu were both there!"
Nie Guanglin frowned and cursed softly, "It's really unlucky today. I just happened to run into these two enemies..."
"They must have heard about Grandpa's illness and were afraid that he might be seriously ill. That's why they rushed back so quickly. It's all for the Nie family's fortune!"
Nie Jinxi sneered and mocked, but she actually hit upon Nie Guanglin's concern!
Nie Guanglin had already had a falling out with Old Nie over the will, and now that Nie Yao was back, not only was she bringing Master Li Jiu with her, I was afraid the will would be set in stone...
Nie Guanglin was even more furious. Nie Jinxi then said, "Dad, you must not let Nie Yao and the others succeed. Nie Yao doesn't understand business at all. If that happens, our Nie family's great foundation, including the listed company, will end up in the hands of Master Li Jiu!"
"Nonsense! Do you even need to remind me?" Nie Guanglin snorted coldly and scolded unhappily, "Your father is no fool. He won't let Master Li Jiu succeed so easily! But you, return all the jewelry you took from Nie Yao intact. Otherwise, Nie Yao won't forgive you, and neither will Master Li Jiu!"
"Dad, I can return the brooch, but I still don't have the set of pigeon-blood ruby jewelry. And she only gave me twelve hours. Can you help me plead for her and give her some time..."
Nie Jinxi said with a wry smile. Nie Guanglin spat in anger, his eyes widening as he shouted, "Plead for mercy? Don't you think I've lost face enough? You're asking your father to beg for mercy from a junior like Nie Yao?"
"Dad, that's not what I meant..." Seeing that her biological father was very angry, Nie Jinxi hurriedly whispered to comfort him.
But Nie Guanglin didn't want to hear her say anything more. He angrily said, "Nie Jinxi, I don't care what method you use, you have to return the things within twelve hours. Otherwise, if the situation gets out of hand, I won't be able to protect you!"
After hearing what her father said, Nie Jinxi's original hope disappeared, and she could only reply gloomily, "I understand. I will try my best to get that set of jewelry back..."
Seeing Nie Jinxi's tone of aggrieved expression, Nie Guanglin didn't lose his temper. He rubbed his brows and sighed softly, "Nie Jinxi, I'm not saying anything bad about you, but you shouldn't have taken Nie Yao's things, and she found out, giving her such a big handle!"
"Dad, I was also in urgent need of money. Who would have thought she would actually install surveillance cameras in her own bedroom!"
Nie Jinxi stamped her foot and said angrily, "This Nie Yao, I think she's doing this on purpose. Our Nie family's old house has been here for so many years, and she insisted on instigating Grandpa to install surveillance cameras. Doesn't this mean that everyone's movements after we return will be in her hands, and she can do whatever she wants with them?"
When Nie Guanglin heard what Nie Jinxi said, his brows subconsciously furrowed. He murmured in a low voice, "I've inquired about it. This set of monitoring equipment was purchased from Feng's. How would Nie Yao know them? I think it was probably Li Jinxing's idea!"
"No matter who they are, they are now trying to conspire to covet our Nie family's property!" Nie Jinxi hurriedly reminded her father.
