Chapter 177 Rumors
Seeing Nie Yao's calm attitude, Yu Wanqing was silent for a moment, and finally said: "I heard that he was not originally the heir to the family, but something happened to the previous heir, so he became the next in line, and..."
Yu Wanqing lowered her voice when she said this: "And there are rumors that the previous heir's legs were crippled because he beat him!"
"..." Nie Yao frowned slightly when she heard this.
Seeing Nie Yao's reaction, Yu Wanqing didn't know whether she was disappointed or afraid. She quickly patted the back of her hand and said, "Ayao, I shouldn't have said so much, but as your cousin, I have to tell you everything I heard..."
Before Wan Qing finished speaking, Nie Yao interrupted her and said decisively: "What kind of messed up rumor is this? He can't do such a thing!"
Yu Wanqing was stunned. She didn't expect Nie Yao to deny the rumor without hesitation. After a moment of surprise, she nodded and smiled.
"That's right. Actually, I don't quite believe this rumor. Although many people are afraid of Mr. Li Jiu and think he is decisive and ruthless, my father said that he has never done anything shady behind the scenes. His character is much better than that of many businessmen..."
Yu Wanqing sighed softly, then put her arm around Nie Yao's shoulders and said with a smile, "Anyway, I'm very optimistic about you and Mr. Li Jiu. From now on, don't pay too much attention to those weird rumors in the outside world..."
The reason why she told Nie Yao all this in advance was to give this cousin who had just been recognized a shot of prevention!
This is to prevent someone from using these rumors to alienate the two of them after their relationship deepens in the future!
Nie Yao was about to say something when a familiar male voice reached their ears: "What rumor?"
Nie Yao and Yu Wanqing turned around at the same time and saw Li Jinxing walking in from outside. He had changed into home slippers and closed the door of the apartment casually.
But their reactions were different. Nie Yao smiled, but Yu Wanqing was a little afraid, fearing that what she had just said would be heard by Master Li Jiu.
"Why are you back so early?" Nie Yao stood up and walked forward, took his coat, and handed him his home clothes.
"I'll be back soon after I finish my work..." Li Jinxing smiled faintly, glanced at Yu Wanqing who was sitting on the sofa, and asked casually, "I didn't expect to catch you entertaining guests!"
"Master Jiu, you're joking. I'm not a guest at all. I just came up to sit for a while and let A Yao help me treat my wound!" Yu Wanqing quickly waved her hands and laughed, then stood up and explained to Li Jinxing.
When Li Jinxing heard the word "wound," he noticed that Nie Yao's cousin had a bruise on her face, a band-aid on the corner of her mouth, and her wrist was wrapped in gauze...
A hint of surprise flashed across Li Jinxing's eyes, and he asked thoughtfully, "You look like this, did you have a fight with someone?"
"That's right..." Yu Wanqing nodded and replied with a wry smile, "It was a group fight, but I didn't lose..."
Li Jinxing looked at Nie Yao inquiringly. Nie Yao poured him a glass of warm water before sitting down with Li Jinxing. She smiled and explained, "After my cousin learned the test results, she ran to South China University and confronted Nie Jinxi. A fight broke out. Fortunately, the security guards intervened early..."
