Chapter 648 Two Extremes
But things are different now. She has been recognized as a member of the Nie family. Even though she had already planned to draw a clear line with the Nie family, she would not allow her academic cousin Nie Xiao to be ambushed again!
Nie Xiao was also stunned. He didn't expect Nie Yao to say such a thing to him. After a moment of stunned silence, a smile slowly appeared on his face. He nodded and whispered, "Okay, I'll remember that..."
If we say that Nie Xiao, who always had a blank expression and even had a look of ridicule sometimes, had laughed before but never truly laughed from the heart, then Nie Xiao's smile now was the bright smile that truly belonged to his age, a college student should have!
Nie Yao watched Nie Xiao walk away until he went upstairs. Then she looked away, shook her head and sighed, "Li Jinxing, how could the Nie family, with such circumstances and a man like Second Uncle Nie, give birth to a son like Nie Xiao?"
"They are indeed two extremes. Perhaps that's why your second uncle dislikes Nie Xiao and loves Nie Jinxi more?"
Li Jinxing smiled slightly, his tone rather sarcastic: "Birds of a feather flock together. The children your second uncle likes are most likely those who are more similar to him. As for Nie Xiao..."
"Nie Xiao said his parents' relationship wasn't good, and he was fed up with their silent treatment, so he focused entirely on his studies. Plus, his Second Aunt was very competitive and hired the best teachers for him, and he was also very focused, so he became a top student. If that high school scandal hadn't happened, he would have been studying science at the best university in the country by now. It's a pity..."
She paused here and sighed with regret.
"This life transition is just a wake-up call for him, letting him realize that society isn't that simple!" Li Jinxing saw that she was still lamenting over Nie Xiao's situation, so he put his arm around her waist, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, saying softly, "It's actually not a bad thing for him. It might be better for him to leave the Nie family's environment!"
"That's true..." Nie Yao nodded in agreement and sighed.
Li Jinxing noticed that she seemed to have some fatigue between her brows, so he smiled and suggested, "Are you tired? Go upstairs and rest first. I'll ask the kitchen to prepare some bird's nest soup for you..."
"I can't leave you alone downstairs to greet the guests!" Nie Yao shook her head with amusement. Even though she was a little tired, she insisted on staying with him until the end of the dinner.
"There aren't many guests left to entertain..." Li Jinxing smiled faintly, glanced in the direction of the band, and said, "In that case, it's better to end the banquet early!"
Nie Yao was stunned, thinking he was joking, but she didn't expect that Li Jinxing really intended to end the dinner.
The band's music also began to become soothing. Feng Xun and Xia Chuqi walked up to them first and said goodbye to them with a smile.
"Mr. Li, Miss Nie, thank you for your hospitality today. It's getting late, and we should say goodbye..." Feng Xun said politely.
Xia Chuqi also took over Feng Xun's words, winked at the two of them and said jokingly, "Yes, we are very considerate. A night of spring is worth a thousand gold. We will not disturb you any longer. Goodbye!"
Nie Yao couldn't help laughing. Li Jinxing politely shook hands with Feng Xun and said goodbye. He wanted to ask the housekeeper to send a car to take them to the airport, but Feng Xun declined with a smile.
