Chapter 1241 Friends Comfort
Nie Yao glanced at Li Jinxing, who nodded and said with a faint smile, "Go ahead. Boss Feng and I also have something to discuss..."
Nie Yao agreed with a smile, and left Li Jinxing and Feng Xun with Xia Chuqi. They walked to a less crowded place, asked the waiter for two martinis, and handed them to Nie Yao.
"The best tasting dish at today's banquet is this cherry martini!" Xia Chuqi ate the red cherry with a smile and took another sip of the martini.
"Really? Then I want to try it too!" Nie Yao also laughed softly. After taking a sip of the martini, her eyes lit up. She nodded in agreement and said, "It tastes really good!"
"The food and beverages in this hotel are just average..." Xia Chuqi sighed softly and said jokingly, "So next time, if you come here for a banquet, eat something to warm yourself up first!"
Nie Yao was amused by Xia Chuqi's words. She nodded and smiled, "It was already late when I woke up. I suddenly found out that I had to accompany Li Jinxing to the dinner, so I couldn't take care of anything else. I just had to at least dress myself up and not embarrass him!"
"So that's how it is!" Xia Chuqi nodded in understanding, quietly admiring Nie Yao for a moment, and said with a smile: "Ayao, when you came in just now, you already amazed many people at the banquet. So many people envy Li Jinxing, how could you embarrass him?"
"You're praising me too much! He picked out all the clothes and jewelry for me. You know, I don't understand these things!" Nie Yao shrugged and laughed at herself. "I remember when I first returned to the Nie family, many wealthy people thought I was old-fashioned and unrefined!"
"Actually, they're jealous of your natural beauty. Clothes make the man. With just a little dressing up, you can overshadow others!"
Xia Chuqi sighed softly, took her arm and said with a smile: "Your mother was the most beautiful woman in her time. You inherited all her good qualities, so how can you be bad?"
Nie Yao lowered her eyes, thinking of her mother's gentle appearance in the photo and the paintings her mother left for her, and her voice became a little low.
"It's a pity that I will never see my mother's face again. I can only rely on her photos to remember her..." Nie Yao said with a wry smile.
Seeing Nie Yao's mood becoming depressed, Xia Chuqi couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. He quickly patted his head and comforted him, "I'm sorry, it's all my fault for being too talkative. I shouldn't have mentioned something that made you unhappy!"
Nie Yao shook her head nonchalantly and chuckled softly, "It's okay, I don't blame you..."
Xia Chuqi was afraid that Nie Yao was still immersed in sadness, so she quickly changed the subject with a smile: "Come to think of it, I haven't seen you in a long time. Li Jinxing protected you too well and never brought you to these social gatherings!"
"I was busy with archaeological work in Egypt and didn't have time to accompany him to these banquets. I came back to take care of Grandpa..." Nie Yao paused and added with a faint smile, "Although I don't like these occasions, if I can help him, I will do my best!"
"Yeah, we're all the same. I don't like occasions like this either, but I've gotten used to it over the years!"
Xia Chuqi nodded in agreement and sighed. Then, remembering something, she asked curiously, "By the way, I saw Hou Jia chatting with you just now. What did she say to you?"
