Chapter 657 Must have seen something
Li Jinxing couldn't help but shake his head and laughed in surprise: "Why would I go to the basement storage room for no reason?"
"I don't know either, maybe they heard it wrong..." When Nie Yao thought of Li Jinxing's two childhood playmates whom she met in the underground wine cellar, she didn't know whether she should say it out loud.
"What's wrong?" Li Jinxing noticed that she looked strange and seemed to be hesitant to speak, so he quickly asked with concern: "You just went to the basement, what did you see?"
Before, he thought that she looked strange because she had sent the Nie family away and had a quarrel with them. Now it seems that it has nothing to do with the Nie family. Instead, it is because she went to the underground storage room that her mood became a little depressed!
"I didn't see anything..." Nie Yao thought about it, but was not yet ready to tell Li Jinxing. She could only shake her head and answer casually, not daring to look into Li Jinxing's eyes.
"You must have seen something!" Li Jinxing knew she was hiding something when he saw her avoiding his gaze. He held her shoulders and asked softly, "Yaoyao, we're already engaged. You're my fiancée now. Are you still hiding anything from me? What exactly happened just now? If you don't tell me, I'll call Owen up to ask clearly!"
Nie Yao was silent for a moment, then finally raised her head and met Li Jinxing's inquiring gaze, which was not without concern. She replied in a low voice, "I saw two people on the steps leading to the underground wine cellar, a man and a woman. I don't know the man, and the woman is Lin Xiaoxiao..."
Li Jinxing frowned and asked unhappily, "What are they doing in the underground wine cellar?"
His intuition told him that this was not a good thing. Was he doing something shameful and was seen by Nie Yao?
Without waiting for Nie Yao to answer, Li Jinxing's face darkened and he said coldly, "Looks like I should ask Owen to take care of this. He actually put people in the underground wine cellar and did some messy things. It's a disgrace to your eyes!"
Nie Yao heard him say this and knew that he had misunderstood her meaning. She quickly grabbed Li Jinxing's sleeve and said, "They didn't do anything in the underground wine cellar, don't misunderstand..."
"Misunderstanding?" Li Jinxing raised his eyebrows slightly, lowered his head to look at Nie Yao, and asked hesitantly: "Yaoyao, are you saying that they didn't hide in the underground wine cellar and do those embarrassing things?"
Nie Yao nodded and replied in a low voice, "I only saw two people chatting. Lin Xiaoxiao seemed to be drunk and in a bad mood. She was still sobbing, and the man kept telling her to drink less..."
"Just that?" Li Jinxing asked thoughtfully.
Nie Yao nodded and replied, "Yeah, that's all..."
Li Jinxing always felt that things were not that simple. If Yaoyao had just seen them drinking and chatting, would her mood have become so strange and depressed?
But he didn't want to force her to answer, so he just frowned slightly and said in a deep voice: "Although there is no limit on alcohol for the guests at the engagement banquet today, the underground wine cellar is Li Yuan's private place after all. Usually only the butler and male servants are allowed in. It seems that Owen made a mistake in management today and actually let the banquet guests in..."
When he said this, he walked to the sofa, picked up the phone, and dialed the indoor line directly, asking Owen to come up.
However, on the phone, the butler Owen's voice was still a little panicked: "Sorry, Second Young Master, I don't have time to come up now. Something happened downstairs..."
