Chapter 40 Something urgent happened
Nie Yao raised the spatula in her hand, raised an eyebrow and said, "Yes, these hands of mine have dug up corpses thousands of years ago, and I still bandaged your wounds and am cooking for you in the kitchen now. Are you scared?"
"Afraid?" Li Jinxing chuckled, shook his head and said meaningfully: "What I have seen is not necessarily less than what you have experienced..."
Nie Yao thought of the gunshot wound he had suffered, and rarely did she refute his statement!
"Okay, I'm going to cook. You go out. Remember to close the kitchen door to prevent the smoke from coming out!" Nie Yao waved her hand and began to drive Li Jinxing away.
Li Jinxing smiled and nodded, helped her close the kitchen door, and through the transparent glass door, he watched her wearing an apron and cooking seriously in front of the gas stove, with the corners of his lips slightly raised.
It has to be said that he rarely experienced such warmth in his memory...
But the little girl who could give him this feeling of warmth had never experienced the happiness of a family, and didn't even know what she had experienced in her childhood until she was adopted!
When Li Jinxing thought of this, the smile on the corner of his lips suddenly disappeared, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
Although Nie Yao doesn't care about the truth of what happened in the past, he has to care about it!
Li Jin walked into the living room, picked up his phone, dialed a number, and said in a deep voice, "Jerry, help me find out what happened to the Nie family twenty years ago. Yes, the more detailed the information, the better!"
After giving his orders, Li Jinxing glanced at the busy figures in the kitchen before sitting back on the sofa and reading the message that popped up on his phone: "Master Jiu, there's a banquet tonight hosted by President Ji of the Chamber of Commerce. He invites you to attend with a sincere attitude. You said before that you would attend if you had nothing else to do..."
"I have something to do today and won't attend!" Li Jinxing replied briefly to the message, threw away his phone, and began to concentrate on waiting for the home-cooked meals that Nie Yao would make for him!
The assistant on the other end of the phone was so upset when he saw the message from his boss... This Mr. Li Jiu always catches people off guard. He didn't go to the banquet he had agreed to attend!
But he didn't dare to ask what had delayed Jiu Ye, so he could only call President Ji and explain everything in a tactful way.
"I'm sorry, President Ji, our Ninth Master has something urgent to do. I'm afraid he won't be able to attend the banquet tonight..."
Chairman Ji, who was originally eagerly waiting for Master Li Jiu to grace his banquet, lost his smile immediately after hearing the news that Master Li Jiu would not be coming.
"What's wrong?" Mrs. Ji asked with concern when she saw her husband's unhappy expression, "Who called just now?"
"Master Jiu's assistant said that Master Li Jiu has something to do today and won't be attending the party I'm hosting!"
Chairman Ji couldn't help but feel disappointed when he said this. "I don't understand. I invited him so sincerely, and he agreed before. Why did he suddenly change his mind? He obviously went to the Nie family's banquet before. Could it be that my reputation is not as great as the Nie family's?"
"Maybe Master Jiu is really busy with his work, so don't think too much about it!" Mrs. Ji smiled and comforted him.
Before President Ji could answer, Ji Minghuan, who was adjusting his tie, sneered when he heard this: "He deliberately didn't come!"
"What did you say?" President Ji turned around, looked at his son, frowned, and asked, "How did you know?"
