Chapter 332 If you dare to make the arrangements, I dare to go.
Old Master Nie chuckled softly twice, neither confirming nor denying.
"Is it convenient for Miss Ning now?" Old Master Nie spoke to Ning Yao politely, never using his status as an elder to suppress her.
“It’s convenient.” Ning Yao nodded and immediately followed Elder Nie into the lounge next door.
Before leaving, Old Master Nie glanced at Wen Tingye and said with a smile, "Tingye, I will keep your matter in mind. I will send someone to deliver that artist's work and contact information to you later."
"Thank you for your trouble, Elder Nie." Wen Tingye glanced at Elder Nie, a sharp glint in his hawk-like eyes.
Before Elder Nie could notice, Wen Tingye withdrew his gaze and turned to Ning Yao.
Seeing that Ning Yao showed no fear in the face of Elder Nie's oppressive aura, he felt relieved.
Old Master Nie has an excellent reputation in the capital city and would never make things difficult for a junior, especially since Ning Yao just saved his grandson.
Not only was Wen Tingye worried, but Ning Chen, Ning Moran, and Ning Duoduo also felt nervous when they saw Old Master Nie bring his mother into the lounge.
Why would Old Master Nie specifically bring his mother along for a talk? What would they talk about?
Could it be that Old Master Nie is really thinking about getting rid of his age spots and is going to order the next batch of Tianxian Water Essence from his mother?
……
The lounge is spacious and clean, with windows half-open, allowing a gentle breeze to drift in from time to time, creating a relaxing environment.
Ning Yao sat down opposite Senior Nie with a generous and open demeanor, her face devoid of any deliberate flattery or ingratiation, her smile pleasing and refreshing to behold.
It must be said that it is rare for Elder Nie to see a younger person of his age so calm, composed, and unassuming.
"I won't beat around the bush with you. You saw my grandson Nie Xu outside the hall just now."
When Old Master Nie mentioned his grandson, his face was filled with helplessness, mixed with some complex emotions that Ning Yao couldn't understand.
Ning Yao nodded, sitting upright as if listening attentively.
Old Master Nie glanced at Ning Yao, his eyes softening. He really liked this little girl.
Unfortunately, I will never have the chance to be his granddaughter-in-law in this lifetime.
“My grandson fell in love with a girl. They dated for two years and were about to get married, but then the girl suddenly disappeared without leaving any message for Nie Xu.”
"I had people investigate for a long time, and about a month ago, I finally found some clues."
"This girl has a hereditary skin condition. Doctors have been consulted both domestically and internationally, but it just can't be cured. Her face..."
At this point, Old Master Nie sighed, a hint of pity in his eyes.
"So she didn't dare to face Nie Xu, worried that her beautiful image would completely collapse in front of her beloved, which is why she left without saying goodbye."
"When I found her, she was about to commit suicide. I persuaded her to come back to life. She was saved, but her heart was not healed. She had such a strange and stubborn skin disease that even plastic surgery could not maintain her skin indefinitely."
After hearing what Elder Nie said, Ning Yao quickly understood what he meant.
Old Master Nie wanted her help to see the girl who had a strange illness, who was also the sweetheart of Old Master Nie's grandson, Nie Xu.
“I can’t guarantee that I can cure her, but I can go and take a look at her symptoms,” Ning Yao said earnestly, looking at Old Master Nie sitting opposite her.
"As long as there's hope, that's enough. I'm just grasping at straws right now." Old Nie chuckled self-deprecatingly, quickly regaining his composure.
"Miss Ning, you've helped me with this, so I owe you a favor. If you need anything in the future, just let me know."
"Mr. Nie, you flatter me. It was just a small favor. I'm already very happy to have the opportunity to do something for you. Besides, it's not even certain that it will work out."
After hearing Ning Yao's words, Elder Nie appreciated her frankness and composure even more, and nodded and smiled.
Ever since Elder Nie appeared and led a young junior to the lounge, everyone's attention has shifted away from today's auction items.
They each formed a small group, and their discussions were quite enthusiastic.
Li Xuan looked at the furnishings and guests in the manor, her expression somewhat dazed.
She had seen many influential figures in the entertainment industry pass by her, but unfortunately, she didn't have the courage to go up and say hello, and she had no idea what to say to them.
Since we're not from the same social class, it's indeed difficult to find common ground when we start chatting.
Just consider it an opportunity to broaden your horizons; there's no need to expect to gain anything from it.
Li Xuan slowly calmed down and comforted herself.
After leaving the lounge, Mr. Nie instructed his family to begin auctioning off some famous paintings, antiques, and jade from ancient times to the present, getting down to business.
Ning Chen had already chosen the auction items to give to his mother, and Ning Moran also looked at the items she had selected, her eyes filled with determination.
When Ning Duoduo saw Ning Yao come out, she quickly went up to her, took her mother's arm, chatted for a few minutes, and casually mentioned, "Mom, let me take you to meet some celebrities in the industry."
Ning Yao was still worried about Xiao Liu, but she didn't want to spoil her daughter's fun, so she immediately nodded and went with her.
As Ning Yao passed by Li Xuan and Xin Yujue, she saw the two of them huddled together, staring at the exquisite pastries on the table, whispering to each other, their eyes full of smiles.
"Why are you looking at pastries instead of getting to know people better? Are pastries more attractive than handsome men? More appealing than future prospects?" Ning Yao raised an eyebrow and teased with a smile.
Li Xuan and Xin Yujue turned their heads at the same time and saw Ning Yao come out. They both curiously crowded around her.
"What did Old Master Nie say to you? He was so mysterious, and he even went into the lounge. Could it be that he really wants to buy the Heavenly Fairy Water to remove his age spots?" Li Xuan muttered to herself, afraid that others would hear her.
Little did they know that the fact that Old Master Nie loved beauty and wanted to remove his age spots had already spread throughout the manor.
Ning Yao didn't directly tell the people around her what Old Master Nie had told her when he called her in. She just opened her lips, looking like she wanted to say something but hesitated. Her bright red lips looked particularly alluring.
"Hurry up and tell me!" Li Xuan urged Ning Yao. During this time, her relationship with Ning Yao had become much more familiar, so she was less reserved in her speech.
"Curiosity killed the cat. This is Elder Nie's private matter, and it's not convenient to talk about it," Ning Yao said in a lazy voice, her smile extremely cunning, clearly indicating that she had no intention of telling them.
"Ugh, how boring." Li Xuan pouted, but didn't take it to heart; she was just teasing.
Xin Yujue smiled. She was naturally reserved and not curious about such things, but the auction items tonight piqued her interest.
“I think those auction items are all very beautiful, including calligraphy and paintings, antiques and jade, but I don’t know much about them and can’t tell the quality.”
"Even if I could tell, I couldn't afford it." Xin Yujue stared at a porcelain vase not far away, thinking it was beautiful but unable to tell how much it was worth.
Ning Yao followed Xin Yujue's gaze.
Indeed, Elder Nie's connections were beyond what they could imagine, so naturally, all the goods he dealt with were of the highest quality.
Even the slightly less desirable ones won't be too far off; they'll still start at least at a few hundred thousand.
The number of exhibits is outrageous, and most auctions start in the afternoon and end no more than before dinner time.
However, Mr. Nie's charity auction lasted from morning to night, and each item had a time limit, and the explanations were not very detailed.
"Miss Ning, Mr. Nie has arranged a special private room for you, which can accommodate ten people. You can invite your friends to come along. The special private room will provide a much better viewing experience than the seats below."
Old Master Nie's butler came over and spoke to Ning Yao respectfully.
Many people around witnessed this scene and became even more curious about Ning Yao's background.
"Old Master Nie actually arranged a special private room for this newcomer in the entertainment industry. That's a privilege that most people don't get."
"I remember that Elder Nie always arranged the seats according to seniority. No matter how famous or not, as long as you debuted early and have outstanding works, you are a senior. Who is this Ning Yao?"
"Zhao Xiaojing is sitting in a regular seat. Isn't she a veteran actress? She should be in a special private room, right?"
Ning Yao listened to the voices around her without feeling any pressure. She quietly thanked the butler and went to the private room.
If Elder Nie dared to make such an unprecedented arrangement, she dared to go.
