Chapter 1382 You Don’t Understand
Li Jinxing shook his head and said softly, "You've been here all the time, why would I leave? I saw you fell asleep just now, so I didn't want to wake you up..."
Nie Yao returned the coat to Li Jinxing. She glanced at the time and saw that it was already late. She whispered, "You have to work. You don't have to stay here with me. Go back and rest first!"
"Yaoyao, how could I possibly leave you here alone?" Li Jinxing sighed softly and rejected Nie Yao's proposal: "You haven't had much rest since returning from a long flight of more than ten hours..."
"I just closed my eyes for a while, it's okay..." When Nie Yao said this, she felt a little dizzy and her feet slipped.
Seeing this, Li Jinxing quickly supported her steadily, his brows furrowed: "You said you were fine, but you look a little depressed!"
"Maybe my sleeping position was not good just now, and my cervical vertebrae compressed the nerves, so I have a headache!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly, steadied herself, and said to Li Jinxing, "I'm fine. I'll stay here and watch over Grandpa until he wakes up!"
"Yaoyao, the doctor said it may take three days. Do you have to stay here for three days?" Li Jinxing frowned slightly and advised in a low voice.
Nie Yao's temper flared up, and she pushed Li Jinxing away, saying coldly, "Li Jinxing, I'm his granddaughter, so it's not surprising that I'm staying here for three days!"
When she said this, a self-deprecating smile appeared on the corner of her lips: "What's more, the reason for Grandpa's illness this time is also because of you and me. Just think of me staying here as an apology to him!"
"Yaoyao, it was never your fault. What crime have you committed?" Li Jinxing held Nie Yao's shoulders and asked in a low voice, "It's your uncle who should apologize. Are you confused?"
"Li Jinxing, when do you think my second uncle will realize he's wrong?" Nie Yao smiled bitterly and shook her head, asking in a deep voice.
"But you have never done anything wrong to the Nie family..." Li Jinxing reminded in a low voice.
"Li Jinxing, you don't understand... All I want now is a clear conscience!" Nie Yao sighed, met Li Jinxing's puzzled gaze, and murmured, "I desperately want my second uncle to pay the price. I want him to go to jail, but if my grandfather never wakes up because of this, I will never be able to forgive myself..."
Li Jinxing looked at the fear that was hard to conceal in her eyes, and the words of persuasion came to his lips, but he couldn't say them no matter what!
After a long silence, Li Jinxing slowly said, "If you stay here, I'll accompany you!"
Nie Yao was about to say something when Butler Lu came over and whispered, "Miss, Mr. Li, you should all go back. You've all worked hard all day, and I'm here for you!"
"Butler Lu, my grandfather..." Before Nie Yao could finish her words, Butler Lu interrupted her with a smile.
"Miss, I know you're worried, but the master is still unconscious. It's useless for you to stay outside! Leave this to me. If anything happens to the master, I will notify you immediately!"
At this point, Housekeeper Lu whispered, "Miss, you have to take care of yourself, otherwise when the master wakes up and sees you looking unwell, he'll be worried and blame himself again!"
Seeing Butler Lu say this, Nie Yao could only nod helplessly and sighed softly, "Butler Lu, I'll leave Grandpa in your hands. Remember to tell me if anything happens!"
"Don't worry, Miss!" Butler Lu nodded in response.
