Chapter 1217: Help the Right, Not the Relatives
After Nie Yao finished her call with Lu Heng, although she had already made up her mind, her expression was still a little solemn.
When she returned to the ward, Elder Nie saw that she was frowning slightly and looked unhappy. He asked with concern, "Ayao, how is Lu Heng doing? Has he really been banned?"
"There are some things he doesn't want to talk about, but I can still tell that he has stopped all his work and is staying at home. He would rather play games than go out!"
Nie Yao sighed softly and said with a wry smile, "He was so popular before, so many activities had to wait for him to find time, but now he's so idle. I'm afraid, just like Lu Yiyu said, he's really been put on ice..."
Elder Nie knew that Lu Yiyu generally didn't exaggerate. Hearing Nie Yao's words, he couldn't help but sigh and said sympathetically, "Lu Heng is actually a good kid. It's a pity he chose to venture into the entertainment industry. Now that things have turned out like this, I'm afraid his family will ask him to quit and return to inherit the family business, just in time for him and Lu Yiyu!"
"It would be fine if he wanted to quit, but the current situation is clearly forcing him..."
Nie Yao frowned, shook her head, and said in a deep voice, "He won't be willing to accept this. Besides, I've seen his work. It would be a shame if he really retired!"
"Ayao, there's nothing you can do..." Seeing his granddaughter standing up for Lu Heng, Old Nie couldn't help but have an uneasy feeling.
As expected, as soon as he said this, Nie Yao said coldly, "Who said I have no solution? This time, it was Li Jinxing who made the mistake. I'm going to persuade him to take action!"
"Ayao—" Old Nie stared at Nie Yao with wide eyes, trying to dissuade her: "You don't have to quarrel with Li Jinxing over this matter. After all, you are engaged and will get married in the future. Why make trouble over an outsider?"
"Grandpa, do you agree with Li Jinxing's approach? Don't you also think that Lu Heng did nothing wrong and should sacrifice his career?" Nie Yao narrowed his eyes and asked in confusion.
"That's not what I meant. I know Lu Heng is a good boy, but he really shouldn't have offended Li Jinxing this time..." Old Nie shook his head and smiled bitterly.
Li Jinxing's thundering methods have made many businessmen older than him fear him. Even though Lu Heng has the Lu family's support and is still the most popular star and actor, the person he should not mess with the most is Li Jinxing!
"Grandpa isn't trying to take sides, I just don't want any rift between you and Li Jinxing. After all, he cares about you too much. If you go and argue with him over Lu Heng, what will that mean? In your eyes, is your fiancé less valuable than an ordinary friend?"
Elder Nie patiently advised, hoping that Nie Yao would give up the idea of confronting Li Jinxing...
"Grandpa, in this matter, I'm on the side of justice, not my relatives!" Nie Yao shook his head and said righteously, "He did something wrong, so I have to tell him, instead of tolerating him without reason!"
"Ayao..." Old Nie wanted to say something, but Nie Yao waved her hand to stop her grandfather from persuading her.
"Grandpa, please stop talking. Since you've already said that this happened because he cared about me, then I have an even greater responsibility to stop this, rather than letting the situation escalate and become more serious!"
Nie Yao said this, glanced at the time, and said to Old Nie: "Grandpa, I want to go out for a while. I'll trouble Butler Lu to take care of you here for a while..."
