Chapter 1299 Self-pity
"Mr. Li, you are so polite and bring so many gifts..." Butler Lu hurried forward to greet him and said with a smile.
"Well, Yaoyao asked me to help look after Elder Nie, so I came over today when I was free. This old mountain ginseng will help Elder Nie replenish his body!"
Li Jinxing smiled faintly and handed all the supplements in his hand to Butler Lu.
Butler Lu quickly took the supplements and put them away.
Li Jinxing walked up to Elder Nie and asked with concern, "Elder Nie, I'm Li Jinxing, I'm here to see you!"
Elder Nie seemed to have just come back to his senses. His blank gaze fell on Li Jinxing, then gradually focused. He nodded and said, "It's Jinxing, come and sit down—"
Li Jinxing nodded slightly and sat down on the sofa opposite Mr. Nie. Butler Lu also put his things away and came over to pour tea for Li Jinxing.
"Thank you..." Li Jinxing took the teacup and thanked him politely.
"Jinxing, how come you have time to come here today? Isn't the company busy?" Mr. Nie also picked up the teacup and took a sip, then asked with a concerned smile.
"Well, I'll come over to see you when I'm done. After all, I promised Yaoyao that if I stayed in the country, I'd be able to help her check on you more often when I have time!"
Li Jinxing said this, took a sip of tea, and his eyes fell on Elder Nie's face. He asked tentatively: "Elder Nie, you don't look too well..."
"I'm fine, maybe I just didn't get enough rest..." Old Nie was stunned for a moment, shook his head and smiled bitterly, then sighed softly: "Ayao is a good child. Even after leaving, she still cares about me, an old man. Even though you are so busy, you still take time to come and see me!"
"Yes, the one thing Yaoyao is most worried about in the Nie family right now is you!" Li Jinxing nodded and replied with a faint smile: "Your health is the most important thing right now. Everything else can be put aside for the time being..."
"I'm just an old man, and I might pass away someday..." Old Nie shrugged self-deprecatingly, with a layer of gloom hanging between his brows.
Seeing his expression, Li Jinxing guessed that he had heard about the Yu family's murder lawsuit against Dai Weiwei. He whispered, "Mr. Nie, Yaoyao and Nie Xiao took turns taking care of you in the hospital. You finally got discharged. Why are you complaining so much?"
Without waiting for Elder Nie's reply, Li Jinxing added meaningfully, "If it's because of the news about today's murder, then there's absolutely no need..."
Elder Nie was stunned for a moment, then met Li Jinxing's deep gaze. He sighed, smiled wryly, and asked, "It seems you've also heard about the Yu family suing that woman for Elder Yu's murder?"
"Well, this incident has a huge impact after all, and it's causing quite a stir online!"
Li Jinxing murmured in response, then replied calmly, "Although Dai Weiwei is only an 18th-tier celebrity, she's been taken into police custody before for drug-related offenses. So, her involvement in a murder case from years ago is bound to spark a wave of discussion..."
"Yes, this is exactly what's bothering me!" Old Nie nodded, gripping the teacup in his hand, frowning, and sighing softly, "Although the last time, the involvement between Dai Weiwei and the Nie family was settled, I'm afraid that this time, someone with ulterior motives will link her to the Nie family again!"
"Hasn't Nie Jinxi already been expelled from the Nie family? She's even been publicly announced. So, what do you have to worry about, Mr. Nie?"
Li Jinxing asked back with a faint smile.
Elder Nie was slightly startled, lowered his head and looked at the teacup in his hand, silent...
