Chapter 558: Get Along
"Okay, okay!" Steve agreed immediately, and the awkward atmosphere was naturally resolved.
Nie Yao also breathed a sigh of relief. The rest of the dinner was spent in a relaxed and happy atmosphere. Although Steve talked a lot, he was able to magically make Li Yaofeng laugh several times.
Seeing this, Nie Yao couldn't help but marvel at it. It wasn't until the end of dinner, when she saw Steve actually following Li Yaofeng to look at photos of the Li family's ancestors, that she couldn't help but smile at Li Jinxing and said, "I didn't expect that a junior like me would get along so well with your elder brother. It's quite a strange thing..."
"Your junior, although he talks a lot and is sometimes heartless, is a sincere person and never lies. So it's no surprise that my eldest brother admires him so much!"
Li Jinxing smiled faintly and sighed softly, "Big Brother likes people who tell the truth, but these days, too many people act in front of him!"
"Yes, he needs others to be more real, maybe that's how he'll feel better!" Nie Yao nodded in agreement and couldn't help but sigh softly.
Although she could not empathize with the eldest brother of the Li family, she could understand that even though he had been in a wheelchair for many years, he did not want others to always treat him cautiously because of his disability instead of showing their true side!
"I accidentally ate too much at dinner..." Professor Fred saw that it was still early and said to Nie Yao and Li Jinxing with a smile, "I want to go out for a walk..."
"Dad, be careful on the slippery road now that it's dark. Can I help you go for a walk?" Nie Yao quickly stepped forward to support him, suggesting with a smile.
"Okay!" Professor Fred agreed with a smile. After Nie Yao helped him take two steps, he turned around and glanced at Li Jinxing, raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "Why don't you come with me and take a walk with me, an old man, and chat?"
Seeing this, Li Jinxing knew that Nie Yao's adoptive father probably had some heartfelt words to say to him, so he quickly nodded with a smile and followed.
The two men supported Professor Fred on both sides and left the living room, heading towards the backyard.
The sky gradually darkened.
Steve had a very happy chat with Li Yaofeng. They looked at photos of Li's ancestors together and pestered Li Yaofeng to visit other parts of the manor.
Nie Yao and Li Jinxing supported Professor Fred as they strolled in the moonlight, talking about some things in the past, both feeling a little sad.
Butler Owen was still checking the best procedures for tomorrow's engagement ceremony with several male servants. He heard the wall clock strike eight and suddenly remembered something. He whispered, "Go call the driver and ask if the car to pick up the Nie family from the airport has arrived yet?"
A male servant nodded and quickly called the driver. After a few words, he said to Owen, "Butler Owen, they are on the way and should be here soon..."
"Okay, then you guys wait here. I'll go check the kitchen. Since they're late arriving, I need to prepare some midnight snacks for them..."
Owen turned and went to the kitchen, and several servants also started to busy themselves with their own things.
Outside the Li family manor, several black cars returning from the airport also slowly drove in.
After the long flight, everyone in the Nie family was a little tired and felt drowsy in the car. They didn't wake up until they were about to drive into the Li family manor.
"I thought this place was desolate, but now it seems that the surrounding area is well developed..." Cui Zhen, the second daughter-in-law of the Nie family, whispered to her husband.
