Chapter 567 Hospitality
"It's nothing, Mom, I'm tired. Let's go back and rest!" Lin Anqi smiled faintly, and together with Lin's mother, she found someone to take them back to the guest room to rest.
Nie Xiao watched Lin Anqi's departing figure until she disappeared into the elevator. Then he took his cigarette and went to the courtyard behind. He lit the cigarette and fell into deep thought...
Nie Jinxi? Originally, he didn't want to get involved in the dispute between Lin Anqi and Nie Jinxi, because the fight between these two women never stopped!
But now, hearing Lin Anqi say this, everything that happened that year began to emerge in his mind, and his eyes narrowed slightly.
Just as Nie Xiao was smoking a cigarette and concentrating on thinking, a burst of laughter reached his ears.
He raised his head and looked in the direction where the sound came from. He saw a man and a woman supporting an old man, walking slowly towards them from a distance under the dim moonlight. They were talking and laughing, and seemed to be having a very happy chat.
"Mr. Li, the scenery here is indeed very nice. It's a good place to recuperate..." This old voice belonged to an old man.
"Professor Fred, just call me Jinxing. If you like it here, you can come to Liyuan to stay when you have time in the future. You can use it as a place to recuperate. My eldest brother can play chess with you and chat with you, so you won't feel bored!" The speaker was a man with a low voice.
Nie Xiao's mind raced. Could this man be the famous Master Li Jiu, Li Jinxing?
"Yes, Dad, I think Li Jinxing's proposal is feasible!" Nie Yao also echoed with a smile at this time.
"Haha, okay, when I officially retire, I'll definitely have time to stay with you guys for a while!"
Professor Fred nodded and laughed, but his nose was very sensitive. He asked in surprise, "I think I smell smoke..."
Nie Yao also frowned slightly and said hesitantly, "Who is smoking?"
Nie Xiao, whose cigarette was still burning, also caught the attention of the three people.
Li Jinxing glanced at Nie Xiao coldly and said in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why are you here so late at night with a lit cigarette in your hand?"
Nie Xiao didn't answer him directly. He shrugged and said with a nonchalant smile, "I was bored, so I came out to smoke a cigarette. Doesn't Master Li Jiu even allow guests to smoke?"
"Smoking is prohibited anywhere in Li Garden!" Li Jinxing said bluntly, and his attitude did not soften because of the word "guest" he said.
Nie Yao looked at the young man in front of her curiously. He seemed familiar, but she couldn't remember where she had seen him before.
"Really? It's a pity your housekeeper didn't tell me when I came in!"
Nie Xiao smiled faintly, then extinguished his unfinished cigarette. He sighed softly, "You leave us guests out in the cold, and then you have a bunch of rules. Is this how you, the Li family, treat your guests?"
Li Jinxing was about to answer when Professor Fred spoke first with a smile, "Sorry, these two children helped me go out to relax, so they didn't know that there was a distinguished guest visiting Li Garden. May I know what this gentleman's name is?"
A cheerful remark dissolved the somewhat awkward atmosphere.
"My name is Nie Xiao..." Nie Xiao was too embarrassed to challenge an old man, so he replied calmly. His gaze fell on Nie Yao and the old man she was supporting, and he suddenly asked, "Are you Nie Yao, the long-lost daughter of the Nie family?"
