Chapter 1258 If
Only then did Old Nie smile with relief. After eating the orange peeled by Nie Yao, he also stood up with the help of his crutch.
Seeing this, Nie Yao and Nie Xiao hurried forward to support him.
"Okay, I'm tired and need to go back to my room to rest first. You guys can go and do your own things. Remember to come back at 6:30 in the evening for the reunion dinner!" Old Nie reminded with a smile.
Nie Yao and Nie Xiao nodded in agreement and wanted to help Old Nie back to his room. Butler Lu came over to help, but Old Nie insisted that he didn't need their help.
Nie Yao and Nie Xiao could only watch as Butler Lu helped Grandpa back to his room before they looked away.
Only the brother and sister were left in the living room. Seeing that Nie Xiao seemed to be in a low mood, Nie Yao smiled and broke the silence.
"Nie Xiao, Grandpa is back in good health. When are you planning to return to school?"
Nie Xiao was stunned for a moment before answering in a low voice, "I've contacted my advisor, and he said I can go back anytime. It won't take up much time, and it won't affect my graduation!"
"That's good!" Nie Yao nodded with a smile, patted his arm and said, "It would be better if you go back early to finish your graduation project so as not to waste time. Don't worry about things here!"
Nie Xiao really wanted to go back soon, but when he thought of Nie Jinxi, he couldn't help but frown and asked worriedly, "Cousin, it's okay for me to go back, but if you go alone to deal with Nie Jinxi, will there be any danger?"
"Don't underestimate me. When I first came back to recognize my relatives, didn't she plot against me?"
Nie Yao raised her eyebrows and said with a smile, "It's just that her plans have failed several times, so you don't have to worry!"
"Cousin, you're awesome!" Nie Xiao smiled and gave Nie Yao a thumbs-up. He winked and jokingly said, "What's more, cousin has Master Li Jiu by her side now. I don't believe Nie Jinxi can still offend Master Li Jiu!"
"Offend, of course she doesn't want to offend Li Jinxing, she wishes she could replace me!" Nie Yao replied with a low laugh.
"Just her?" Nie Xiao snorted coldly, his eyes filled with contempt for Nie Jinxi. "Not to mention her lack of qualifications, in terms of academics, looks, and intelligence, how can she compare to you, cousin? Besides, she's been slept with by Ji Minghuan countless times. She's simply shameless..."
When Nie Xiao said this, he recalled what Old Nie had just said and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, "I thought she'd gone too far this time and Grandpa would kick her out of the Nie family. But now he wants her back for dinner and even asks us to watch her. I really don't know why Grandpa is so indulgent towards her."
"After all, she grew up in Grandpa's care, so he did have some kindness in raising her. And even if Grandpa doesn't recognize her now, people outside will still only recognize her as Nie Jinxi. They can use her to deal with our Nie family!"
Nie Yao shrugged and righteously advised, "So, Nie Xiao, you have to understand Grandpa's decision. He has his reasons!"
Nie Xiao nodded silently, but he was still a little angry inside. He said angrily, "If my cousin hadn't disappeared, she wouldn't have been found in her place. Our Nie family would be much better off, and there wouldn't be so many messed up conflicts!"
"Unfortunately, there are some things that have no ifs..." Nie Yao shook her head and said in a faint voice.
Even if Nie Jinxi was not there, the Nie family would not be at peace, because the instigator was not Nie Jinxi, but... Nie Guanglin, the second uncle of the Nie family!
