Chapter 955 Regret
"I don't have anything to do today, and my foot is almost healed, so I came out for a walk..." Nie Yao explained with a faint smile.
"So that's how it is..." Lu Yiyu smiled knowingly, lowered his head to glance at Nie Yao's feet, and asked with concern: "Is Miss Nie's foot okay? I heard that Miss Nie seemed to have been in a car accident when she came back..."
Nie Yao responded indifferently, laughing self-deprecatingly, "Yeah, luckily it's nothing serious, it's just a sprained ankle!"
"That's good. I heard about this before and wanted to go visit her, but I couldn't find out which ward Miss Nie was staying in, and I was embarrassed to go to the Nie residence rashly..."
Lu Yiyu sighed softly when he said this: "Seeing that you are okay today, Miss Nie, I am relieved!"
"Thank you for your concern, I'm fine..." Nie Yao said thank you with a faint smile.
Seeing Nie Yao's polite yet distant tone, Lu Yiyu couldn't help feeling a little regretful when he recalled the feelings his cousin had expressed to him privately before.
He and his cousin both had feelings for her, but before they even had the chance to strike, Mr. Li Jiu got there first and they got engaged in such a short time.
Although none of them attended the engagement ceremony of Mr. Li Jiu and Nie Yao, they saw related reports in major media.
Today, by chance, he met Nie Yao halfway up the mountain. Even on a foggy and rainy day, he could still clearly see the huge diamond ring on her hand.
There was no doubt that the reason he could meet Nie Yao here today was because Master Li Jiu's villa was here, and he lived in the same villa estate as his cousin.
The two walked quietly for a while, and the rain seemed to have subsided. Lu Yiyu was worried that the conversation would become dull, so he couldn't help but find some topics to talk about, and even asked Nie Yao about her archaeological work.
Sure enough, as soon as the topic of archaeology was brought up, Nie Yao started to talk nonstop.
"So Miss Nie's return this time was sudden, and she will soon return to Egypt to continue her archaeological work?" Lu Yiyu asked with concern.
"Yes, I came back for family matters. Now that my foot injury has healed and the family issues have been resolved, I will leave here and fly back to Egypt in a few days!"
Nie Yao nodded and explained with a smile: "After all, this archaeological mission is very important. I am still the team leader and cannot leave for too long!"
"Miss Nie, you really love your archaeological career..." Lu Yiyu sighed with a smile, and then couldn't help but say, "But forgive me for being blunt, since Miss Nie has come back for the Nie family's affairs, I'm afraid the Nie family's affairs are not so easy to resolve..."
Upon hearing this, Nie Yao stopped and looked up at Lu Yiyu who was holding an umbrella beside her, with a hint of vigilance in her eyes.
"I wonder why Mr. Lu said that?"
Seeing her looking at him with a somewhat defensive expression, Lu Yiyu smiled apologetically and said gently, "Ms. Nie, don't misunderstand me. I'm not one to pry into other people's privacy. It's just that some things can't be kept secret in the wealthy circle...Nie Jinxi's life story has been widely spread in the circle, and the second son of the Nie family is also making plans to split up the family. I think Miss Nie came back because of this, right?"
Nie Yao remained silent, but her silence had already told Lu Yiyu the answer.
Seeing this, Lu Yiyu continued, "The Nie family is considered an old-school wealthy family. They value reputation above all else. The news that Nie Jinxi is an illegitimate daughter has already spread, and coupled with today's news, her mother is in trouble again..."
