Chapter 598 Small Gift
"He suffered a concussion and a broken bone, but luckily his life is not in danger..." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head and whispered, "My father and I rushed to the hospital as soon as we heard about his accident. My father is still staying in the hospital to take care of him, but I heard that his condition is much better..."
"I'm glad he's okay!" Nie Yao smiled and nodded, then instructed Lin Xiaoxiao, "Please tell your father not to worry. If you need medical money, just let me know..."
"Thank you, Miss Nie, for your concern!" Lin Xiaoxiao thanked him gratefully, her expression becoming even more embarrassed. "We have enough medical expenses. I originally wanted to stay in the hospital with my father and take care of my eldest brother, but the invitations from the Second Young Master and Miss Nie arrived, and my father couldn't come, so they urged me to come!"
Nie Yao nodded and smiled. She remembered that Lin Xiaoxiao was not on the guest list when the banquet was drawn up before. However, since Li Jinxing was familiar with the Lin family, it was probably because Li Jinxing remembered it later that he asked the butler Owen to add her!
"By the way, I didn't prepare any gifts. This is a little token of my appreciation..." Lin Xiaoxiao said this, took out an exquisite purse from her arms, and handed it to Nie Yao.
"This is a purse I made myself. It's filled with some calming spices. I wish Miss Nie and the Second Young Master a love that is as deep as gold and as strong as gold, and a harmonious and beautiful relationship..."
Nie Yao took the purse from her hand, lowered her head and looked at it carefully. She found that the purse was embroidered with mandarin ducks playing in the water. The embroidery was very exquisite, and she couldn't help but praise it a few times.
"Ms. Lin, it turns out you have such good skills..." Nie Yao exclaimed with a smile.
"I learned it myself when I had nothing to do. I'm glad Miss Nie likes it!" Lin Xiaoxiao explained a little embarrassedly.
"I like it very much. Thank you for this gift. I will keep it well!" Nie Yao picked up the purse and kissed it under her nose. Sure enough, a pleasant light plant fragrance wafted into her nose.
Seeing that Nie Yao liked him, Lin Xiaoxiao finally breathed a sigh of relief and whispered, "Miss Nie and the Second Young Master have such a good relationship, it's really enviable..."
Nie Yao smiled noncommittally, looking up at the undisguised envy on Lin Xiaoxiao's face. Remembering what Lin Fugui had said earlier, she jokingly said, "I heard that Miss Lin and Li Jinxing were close playmates when they were young. I bet they had a lot of fun together, didn't they?"
Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, not knowing if Nie Yao's question was due to her eldest brother's words. She quickly waved her hand and said with an apologetic smile, "Miss Nie, please don't misunderstand me. The Second Young Master and I are far apart in status. How can I be qualified to be his playmate?"
"He admitted it himself. Miss Lin, don't worry. I was just asking casually because I wanted to know more about his past..." Nie Yao looked at Lin Xiaoxiao, who was afraid that she would misunderstand, and couldn't help but comfort her with a smile.
Lin Fugui is so bold, why is his younger sister Lin Xiaoxiao so cautious?
Lin Xiaoxiao carefully studied Nie Yao's expression. Seeing that she didn't seem angry, she nodded and whispered, "Yes, Miss Nie, I was just being mean-spirited..."
She whispered an apology to Nie Yao and continued, "When the Second Young Master was a child, he lived in Li Garden, which wasn't too far from our Lin family's yard. So he would often come to our orchard to play, picking fruit and catching crickets together. When the lotus pond was still dry, he even picked lotus seeds..."
When Lin Xiaoxiao said this, her thoughts drifted back to the past, and her voice became a little distant.
