Chapter 568 First Meeting
And this Professor Fred should be the old professor who adopted his cousin Nie Yao, as his mother told him!
Nie Yao smiled and nodded, sizing up the tall young man in front of her in the moonlight. The name Nie Xiao sounded a little unfamiliar, but she knew this must be her second uncle's son...
Is he also the unfilial son mentioned by Li Jinxing, who was caught by his second uncle playing with men and was angrily kicked out of the house to study abroad?
Before Nie Yao could speak, Li Jinxing coldly reminded Nie Xiao, "You should call her cousin!"
Nie Xiao raised an eyebrow but did not answer.
At this moment, Nie Yao nodded and replied with a smile: "Yes, I am your cousin Nie Yao! I didn't see you before when I returned to the Nie family's old house. Today is the first time we meet..."
Nie Xiao responded softly, explaining awkwardly, "At that time, I was still studying abroad, and my teacher wouldn't approve my leave..."
In fact, it’s not that he really can’t come back, but he doesn’t care whether the Nie family can find their real daughter or not. After all, she is just a woman similar to Nie Jinxi, and he doesn’t want to know about her at all!
Nie Yao smiled faintly. She could tell he was lying, but she didn't bother to expose him. She just smiled faintly and said, "We're all members of the Nie family. We've all met today. You must be tired from the long flight. Go back and rest early!"
After she said this, she and Li Jinxing were about to support Professor Fred in the walk-in.
Seeing this, Nie Xiao called out to her figure: "Cousin——"
Nie Yao turned around and looked at him with raised eyebrows: "Anything else?"
"Cousin, I have something to tell you..." Nie Xiao said hesitantly.
"What's the matter? Can't you tell me tomorrow?" Li Jinxing said unhappily, wanting to help Nie Yao refuse.
However, Nie Yao knew that her cousin would probably not have the chance to talk to her at the engagement ceremony tomorrow, and after the engagement, she and Li Jinxing would have to leave Liyuan and fly directly to Egypt!
"Help Dad go in and rest first. I'll be back soon." Nie Yao smiled faintly at Li Jinxing and advised in a low voice.
Li Jinxing didn't try to dissuade her. He nodded and whispered, "Okay, don't talk too long. You have to get up early tomorrow!"
"I know. You guys go ahead!" Nie Yao replied with a smile. She watched Li Jinxing helping his adoptive father inside. Then she walked up to Nie Xiao and said with a smile, "Let's go..."
"Leave?" Nie Xiao was stunned for a moment, then asked hesitantly, "Where to?"
"Of course I'm going for a walk. Where else can I go so late at night?" Nie Yao shook her head in amusement and said to Nie Xiao, "You called me because you wanted to talk to me and didn't want others to overhear you."
Nie Xiao didn't expect that his cousin could see through his thoughts so quickly. He couldn't help but look at Nie Yao with a new respect. He nodded silently and walked slowly with Nie Yao in the backyard, getting farther and farther away from the back door of the living room.
Seeing that Nie Xiao didn't speak, Nie Yao didn't rush him, but casually started a new topic: "Did you come with Grandpa and my dad?"
Nie Xiao shook his head and replied in a low voice, "No, I flew here directly from abroad. I happened to meet Sister Wanqing, and then we took a car to Li Garden..."
"So that's how it is!" Nie Yao nodded in understanding and asked with a smile, "What major did you study abroad? What level are you at now?"
"I'm studying business, and I'm now a junior..."
