Chapter 652 The Sound of the Wine Cellar Downstairs
Butler Owen suggested this, and Nie Yao nodded in agreement, smiling and saying, "That's fine. I'll trouble Butler Owen then..."
“No trouble…”
Owen accompanied Nie Yao towards the banquet hall. As expected, no guests came out of the banquet hall and it was quiet everywhere.
As arranged by Owen earlier, the band members and other staff members all left Li Garden, and the huge banquet hall was left with only the mess after the celebration.
Occasionally, a few male servants would begin to clean up the mess.
"Where is Li Jinxing?" Nie Yao asked a random male servant.
"The second young master said he had something to do. It seems he went to the storage room downstairs..." the butler answered hesitantly.
"The storage room downstairs?" Nie Yao was stunned for a moment, then asked the butler Owen beside her in confusion: "Owen, what's in the storage room downstairs? Why did he end up there?"
"There's a wine cellar downstairs, and some space for miscellaneous items. Maybe the Second Young Master went to get the wine?" Owen said this, and smiled at Nie Yao and suggested, "How about this, I'll accompany Miss Nie to take a look downstairs!"
"No need, I'll go and take a look myself..." Nie Yao replied with a faint smile.
"Okay, then Miss Nie, please be careful with your steps. The storage room downstairs is not locked..." Butler Owen quickly reminded.
Nie Yao nodded slightly, walked through the corridor alone, and took the elevator directly to the underground first floor. Seeing that the lights were on on the stairs leading to the underground wine cellar, it seemed that there was really someone in the wine cellar. She hurriedly lifted the hem of her skirt and walked down the stairs carefully.
Before she could tentatively call out to Li Jinxing, she heard a soft sigh from the wine cellar, which sounded like a woman's voice.
"Xiaoxiao, you are drunk..."
The voice that spoke was a man's voice, somewhat similar to Li Jinxing's low voice, but richer.
"No... I'm not drunk..." A female voice with a hint of drunkenness also came into Nie Yao's ears at this time. Nie Yao narrowed her eyes slightly. If she heard it correctly, this voice seemed to be Lin Xiaoxiao's!
Why would she go to the underground wine cellar on the first floor for no reason? She couldn't be hiding here to drink secretly, right?
Nie Yao tiptoed downstairs and took a few steps towards the wine cellar. Sure enough, she saw a figure in a skirt, holding a bottle of wine, swaying from side to side.
The lights in the wine cellar were dim, and she couldn't see the woman's appearance clearly, but her voice did sound like Lin Xiaoxiao.
"You're really drunk. Be good and listen to me. Follow me upstairs. I'll take you back..."
A man reached out his arm and pulled the woman in the skirt, but the woman pushed his arm away, shook her head and said stubbornly, "No, I'm not going back. I'm staying here!"
There was still a hint of drunkenness in his voice.
"But this is Li Garden. You can't stay in this wine cellar and sleep all night, right?" The man shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. He grabbed the woman's arm and tried to persuade her, "The other guests have all gone home. The Second Young Master and his fiancée should rest too. What are you still doing here?"
"What can I do? I can't do anything..." The woman's crying voice kept echoing in the wine cellar.
"I know I'm not worthy of him, so I can only watch him get engaged! He doesn't remember, he doesn't remember the vows we made when we were little..."
