Chapter 769: Investigating the Traitor

As Li Beinian spoke, her gaze swept past Will and fell beyond him.

She could tell that there were many people in this house.

Besides the housekeeper who came to the door, Li Beinian also saw the special caregiver who had taken care of Nico in the hospital.

As well, there was the doctor whom Nico had specially hired from his hometown in England.

These were the few people she saw. Those who knew her nodded and greeted them politely. However, the housekeeper did not know her. But observing everyone’s attitude, she too, served up the coffee respectfully.

Li Beinian thanked her and soon afterwards, Nico wheeled himself out.

He was obviously very surprised to see the girl.

The look of surprise very quickly turned to joy as his face lit up. “Beinian, it’s you. Oh, what a pleasant surprise!”

Nico pushed his wheelchair forward with a broad smile on his face.

He quickly shifted his gaze to Mu Xichen and said, “Mr. Mu, I haven’t seen you in a long time. You seem to have lost some weight.”

“It’s more than just some. He’s lost a lot of weight.” Li Beinian’s heart ached as she poked at Mu Xichen’s leg unhappily. “See, even Nico can tell. You have to start eating more.”

The man raised his eyebrow upon hearing this.

He had only just stuffed himself silly after being coerced and enticed by her during breakfast. Thankfully, the short walk to Nico’s helped a little with the digestion but if he had to keep eating like this, he would probably die from being stuffed with food.

He decided not to respond to her and looked at Nico instead. “Ah Nian made porridge for breakfast today. She made extra so that you could have some.”

Then, he glanced at the clay pot he was still holding and said, “Mr. Will, have a taste too.”

Will was flattered and said, “You’re too kind. Aisha, quickly get the serving bowls.”

The housekeeper called Aisha immediately understood, and went to the kitchen to get some soup bowls.

However, because she had little experience in serving food before her employer, her actions were obviously a little uncertain.

She glanced at Will, and became more confident only upon receiving his affirmation.

The porridge was still piping hot, however that worked out to be just right for the winter season they were in now.

Nico cleaned his hands before taking a sip from the bowl.

“Mmmm! Good!” Nico exclaimed with an exaggerated expression. “Beinian, did you make this yourself?”

“Yes.” Li Beinian smiled and glanced at Will and Aisha. “How is it?”

“Awesome!” Nico gave her a thumbs up. “I’ve never eaten such delicious porridge before. Awesome!”

“It’s good that you like it.” Li Beinian picked up her coffee and took a sip. “The interior has been nicely done up. Did you put it together yourself?”

“Yes, Miss Beinian,” Will responded. “Nico handled the interior design himself. It’s everything he likes. There are also some elements that will appeal to girls from Xia Nation. I wonder if you have noticed?”

Li Beinian wept her gaze around again.

It was decorated in a minimalist and cool Nordic style, but in front of the corridor, there was a sandalwood screen in Xia Nation style.

There were life-like carvings of small animals on the screen. There were also tree branches and blooming flowers. The carvings were exquisite.

However, because this was a huge ornament of a different style from the general decoration, it gave a sense of incoherence.

In fact, it made things look… natural!

Li Beinian shifted her gaze over to the white spiral staircase that led upstairs. Next to it, there were portraits on the wall.

There was a portrait in the centre that was larger than the other portraits. The woman in the painting was striking.

It was Bei Xiaonian.
