Chapter 52: Continue Blind Date
Nie Yao glanced at Old Nie, but ultimately decided not to argue with the old man. She whispered, "I'm sorry, I'm not the type of person who likes staying out all night. I just accidentally fell asleep at someone else's house last night..."
"Someone else's family? A boy or a girl?" Old Nie asked coldly.
"A man..." As soon as Nie Yao finished speaking, the expressions of Old Man Nie and Father Nie changed.
Without waiting for Old Nie to have another outburst, Butler Lu quietly walked up to him and whispered something in his ear. Old Nie's expression instantly turned from gloomy to bright.
"Ayao, tell me honestly, what is your relationship with Master Li Jiu?"
"It doesn't matter..." Nie Yao replied with a shrug.
"It doesn't matter. Will his personal driver take you home in the morning?" Mr. Nie asked thoughtfully.
Nie Yao was stunned again, and then she realized that it was probably Li Jinxing's car that brought her back, and it happened to be seen by the sharp-eyed housekeeper Lu!
"Ayao, tell us honestly, did you spend the night with Master Li Jiu last night?" Father Nie couldn't help but ask anxiously.
Nie Yao could only nod helplessly, fearing that the two elders would misunderstand her, and quickly explained, "Don't overthink it, nothing happened between him and me..."
"Ayao, this is a serious matter. Don't hide it from us..." Father Nie didn't believe what Nie Yao said. He shook his head and asked, "I've never heard of Master Li Jiu letting a woman stay overnight before!"
Nie Yao sighed, knowing that if she didn't explain the matter clearly, her grandfather and father would continue to misunderstand her.
"Li Jinxing and I really don't have any other connections. He was in danger before, and I saved him..."
"Saved him? This is a life-or-death friendship!" Father Nie's face lit up with joy as he said to Old Nie, "Dad, I knew Master Li Jiu wouldn't be so kind to someone for no reason. A-Yao is truly lucky!"
Elder Nie nodded in agreement, stroking his chin and pondering, "That's right, A'yao, you can take this opportunity to make friends with him..."
"What's the point of making friends?" Nie Yao waved her hands, feeling both amused and helpless. "I saved him, and he helped me, so we're even..."
"If that's true, then why did you stay at his place last night?" Seeing that she had already said that they owed each other nothing, Father Nie couldn't help but ask with concern, "Ayao, is there anything you can't say in front of Dad and Grandpa?"
"Dad, I told you that we are even now, and no one owes anyone anything!" Nie Yao didn't mind being friends with Li Jinxing, but she didn't want to use the purposeful way of "making friends" as they called it!
Father Nie was a little disappointed to see her calm expression, but at the same time, he was also relieved...
A person like Master Li Jiu is probably not someone who can be easily provoked!
"In that case, let's continue the blind date..." Old Nie took a sip from his teacup and said in a calm tone, "The welcome dinner we originally arranged for you that day was so that you could choose a few young men from aristocratic families that you liked, but the schedule was disrupted later..."
After all, with Master Li Jiu around, even if those wealthy kids were interested in their A Yao, they wouldn't dare to rush forward.
Now that Li Jinxing has no special attitude, they cannot give up their original plan!
"Grandpa, did you bring me back just to force me to go on a blind date and arrange a marriage for the family?" Nie Yao felt disgusted when he heard the word "blind date".
