Chapter 147 Where did you go last night?
The Nie family's old house.
Nie Yao returned to the Nie family and found that almost all the members of the Nie family were there. Old Nie was still sitting upright in the living room with a cold expression, while Nie's father had a frown on his face and a gloomy expression.
However, the expressions of Second Uncle and Second Aunt of the Nie family were not so serious, with just a hint of sneer at the corners of their lips.
Nie Jinxi has been standing beside Mr. Nie, as if ready to comfort him at any time.
Lin's mother's face was a little pale, and Lin Anqi stood there with her hair disheveled. It was the first time she looked so unkempt in front of the whole family, with tears on her face.
The last time family members arrived in such a complete group was because she was brought back to be recognized as a relative, but it was obviously different this time, the atmosphere was more tense.
"What happened so early in the morning?" Nie Yao tried to speak in a relaxed tone, his puzzled eyes moving around Lin Anqi and finally landing on his father.
"Ayao, you're back..." In the end, it was Father Nie who spoke first, breaking the heavy atmosphere in the living room: "Have you had breakfast?"
"I have used it..." Nie Yao nodded.
Nie Jinxi looked at Nie Yao with suspicion. When she realized that the dress she was wearing was the same one she wore to Yu Wanqing's birthday party last night, and she hadn't changed it after a whole night, a gleam of light flashed in her eyes.
"Sister, where did you go last night? Why did you leave cousin Wanqing's party without saying goodbye?" Nie Jinxi asked with pretended concern.
"I have something urgent to deal with, so I'll go back first..." Nie Yao replied in a light tone.
"Really?" Nie Jinxi knew she was lying, and sneered, reminding her maliciously, "But sister, if you were going back at night, why are you still wearing the same clothes you left last night this morning?"
As soon as Nie Jinxi finished speaking, everyone in the Nie family turned their eyes to Nie Yao, with a look of scrutiny, inquiry, and suspicion in their eyes.
Nie Yao lowered her head to look at her clothes, and met Nie Jinxi's sarcastic gaze. Only then did she realize this detail, and she actually admired Nie Jinxi a little in her heart.
Nie Jinxi is really good at observing details, even she herself overlooked them. One sentence made everyone guess that she left her cousin Yu Wanqing's birthday party last night and did not go home, but spent the night outside!
"Who said I have to change clothes when I get home?" Nie Yao raised an eyebrow and asked coldly, "Nie Jinxi, you've been living a life of luxury since childhood, but you probably haven't experienced going on an archaeological campsite for a week without a change of clothes like me!"
Of course, she would not tell the Nie family about what happened last night. After all, it concerned Li Jinxing's privacy, but she couldn't let Nie Jinxi throw dirty water on her like this!
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Nie Jinxi's expression changed slightly. She obviously didn't expect Nie Yao to answer her like that.
Now that's good. She originally wanted to take advantage of everyone being here to hint to her elders that Nie Yao had been hanging out all night again. Now that Nie Yao said this, she seemed frugal and simple!
As expected, after Nie Yao finished her rebuttal, Father Nie looked at her with even more heartache. Even Old Nie's tense expression changed slightly. He sighed softly, "Ayao, there's no need to be like this in the future. After all, you are the daughter of the Nie family. You have plenty of clothes. There's no need to be so frugal..."
Nie Yao nodded, while Nie Jinxi secretly clenched her fists, silently scolding Nie Yao in her heart for being too scheming and actually using the trick of playing the victim!
