Chapter 1273: It’s Hard to Guard Against a Thief Within
The others followed him to the restaurant.
Perhaps because of Nie Jinxi's matter, the atmosphere in the restaurant was a little solemn for a moment, until Nie's father took the initiative to speak and broke the silence.
"Dad, you look much better. Listen to the doctor's advice and relax. Go travel when you have time..."
Nie Yao nodded in agreement and said with a smile, "Yes, I was talking to Chuqi before. I asked his father to invite him to go out with you, play chess or go fishing together!"
When Old Nie heard Nie Yao mention Father Xia, he also laughed and nodded in agreement, saying, "That's true. I'll make an appointment with him when I get a chance..."
When he said this, his eyes fell on Father Nie and Nie Guanglin, and he said meaningfully, "Old Xia's children are all very outstanding, so he doesn't have to worry about them. It's a pity that I don't have that blessing!"
"Dad, look at what you said..." Father Nie laughed awkwardly and quickly consoled him, "My second son and I will do our best to handle the company's affairs!"
"That would be best!" Old Nie nodded slightly, his gaze lingering on Nie Guanglin for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Guanglin, how are your preparations for the project bidding your eldest brother assigned to you?"
Nie Guanglin had originally had his own thoughts, but when he heard his father ask about this at the dinner table, he came back to his senses and quickly replied with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm ready and will definitely get it!"
Old Nie wanted to say something, but Nie Guanglin glanced at Li Jinxing, afraid that Old Nie would say more, and added, "I'll report to you privately later. There are too many people here..."
Nie Yao frowned and asked unhappily, "Second Uncle, everyone eating here today is family. You're talking like you're trying to prevent thieves."
"Not everyone here is our family!" Nie Guanglin said meaningfully.
Nie Yao looked at Li Jinxing with some worry. Wasn't this a clear veiled criticism of Li Jinxing?
She was about to speak, but Li Jinxing quietly pinched her palm. Before she could speak, Li Jinxing said slowly: "Well, sometimes...it's hard to guard against thieves in the house!"
As soon as Li Jinxing said this, Nie Yao almost couldn't help laughing, and even Nie Xiao raised the corners of his lips secretly.
Nie Guanglin didn't expect Li Jinxing to fight back like this. His expression looked a little ugly. He didn't say anything else. He just picked up the red wine in front of him and drank half a glass in one breath.
Fortunately, Nie Guanglin's words did not affect everyone's mood for dinner. After dinner, Nie Guanglin and his father went to the study with Old Man Nie to discuss things, while Nie Xiao prepared to go back to his room to pack his luggage.
Nie Yao still had something to discuss with Li Jinxing, so she didn't stay in the Nie family's old house for long. After saying goodbye to her grandfather and father, she and Li Jinxing got in the car and left.
On the way back, Nie Yao talked about Nie Jinxi and showed the evidence in her mobile phone to Li Jinxing. However, Li Jinxing read the evidence calmly and did not seem to react much.
Thinking of Li Jinxing's change in attitude towards Lu Heng, Nie Yao couldn't help but ask tentatively, "Li Jinxing, have you already found out that those so-called fans were hired by Nie Jinxi?"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly as a response.
"So that's why you decided to compensate Lu Heng?" Nie Yao raised her eyebrows slightly and asked thoughtfully, "When did you find out? Was it before or after I told you to stop?"
