Chapter 760: Uniting With Nico, Striking First (1)

Will couldn’t help but laugh when he heard this. “Nico, are you sure?”

“Yes.” Nico turned serious and looked at Will. “I’m very sure. She resembles Xiao Nian too much. If Xiao Nian were still alive, she’d definitely know at a glance that this is her daughter and I.”

Will smiled faintly and nodded. “Yes, Nico. She resembles both Miss Bei and you.”

This concurrence from Will put Nico in a good mood.

He quietly preened himself before asking Will to send him there.

The distance between the two villas wasn’t great, but Nico wasn’t able to walk, so he had to be driven over in a nanny van.

On arrival, the door immediately flew open the moment he rang the doorbell.

When Li Beinian saw Nico, she stepped aside quickly to make way, saying, “Come in. Where’s Mr. Will?”

“Oh, he’s parking the car. He’ll be here soon.” It was Nico’s first visit to Li Beinian’s home and was a little curious about the villa layout.

Scanning the surroundings silently, Nico noticed the spotlessly clean floor. He glanced down at his wheelchair and hesitated. “Do I need to switch to my crutches instead?”

“No it’s fine, just come in.” Li Beinian had already walked over to the kitchen. She laid the already cooked dishes on the table and remarked, “Mr. Nico seems to like Chinese food.”

“Yes.” Nico smiled and wheeled himself in slowly. “I really like it. More than twenty years ago, I came to Xia Nation because I wanted to eat the most authentic Chinese food. Is Beinian cooking Chinese cuisine today?”

“Yes.” Li Beinian scooped some rice and placed it on the table. “Wash your hands here and drink a bowl of soup first. My godmother taught me how to make it, it tastes very good.”

“Thank you so much, Beinian. You’re so virtuous.” Nico wasn’t stingy with his praise. “But where has your husband gone?”

At the mention of Mu Xichen, Li Beinian suddenly found it hard to maintain whatever bit of smile she could muster in the first place.

At the same time that the worry in her heart grew, she also knew that Mu Xichen would be fine.

Confronted by Nico’s question, she replied, “He’s a little busy and is not home yet.”

“Oh, that’s a pity. I think Beinian doesn’t cook often. I didn’t expect such a rare opportunity, so it’s a real honor.”

Li Beinian smiled listening to these pleasantries that Nico obviously rarely uttered. She said, “You don’t have to be so polite with me. On the contrary, I should be thanking you. My husband isn’t home yet and I’ve cooked too much food. I need you and Mr. Will to help me with it.”

Nico said, “It’s a real honor!”

Will arrived very shortly. After she shut the door after him, she proceeded to scoop some rice and soup for him the man, who displayed an extremely polite and respectful behavior.

Li Beinian did not know if these aristocrats had the habit of not speaking during meals, so she kept silent throughout the meal.

After dinner, she came straight to the point and said, “Mr. Nico, this afternoon, an unknown person tried to lure me to open the door. I didn’t comply and called the security officer instead. The security officer chased him away. I heard though, that he went over to your house.”

“Yes, he broke into my backyard and even used a drone to monitor us,” Nico said seriously. “Beinian, do you know what they want?”

Li Beinian hesitated for a moment and said, “It seems to me, that they are out to harm you. That’s why they tricked your household staff into making turtle celery soup for you. At the same time, I also know why they’re out to harm you.”

Nico said, “And why is that?”
