Chapter 1020: Coward
Facing Li Jinxing's concerned gaze, Nie Yao really didn't want to talk about those unpleasant things. She shook her head and smiled faintly, "It's nothing. After what happened with Nie Xiao, Grandfather won't believe Nie Jinxi's words anymore!"
"You are his legitimate granddaughter. Of course he should trust you instead of Nie Jinxi. What's more, this time, you helped the Nie family resolve a public relations crisis!"
Li Jinxing patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "As long as Mr. Nie is not confused, he will know who is kind to the Nie family, and that is the most important thing!"
Nie Yao nodded silently.
"Okay, we've been soaking for quite a while, it's time to go upstairs..." Li Jinxing saw that Nie Yao's cheeks had turned red from soaking, and suggested with a smile: "If you soak for a little longer, you'll feel dizzy. Let's go upstairs and have dinner!"
"Alright!" Nie Yao nodded in agreement and got out of the hot spring with Li Jinxing. Seeing that Li Jinxing still had spots of red rashes on his body, she quickly reminded him, "Go take a shower first, then I'll apply the medicine for you!"
Li Jinxing responded with a smile, and the two returned to the hotel room together and went straight to the bathroom to take a shower.
Here, Li Jinxing and Nie Yao took a break from their busy schedule to relax in a resort where there were not many guests. After Nie Jinxi left the old house of the Nie family, she did not dare to go back to the Lihai Huating community where her mother lived, for fear of being photographed by the paparazzi waiting there!
Nie Jinxi could not return to the community where her mother lived. She was worried about her mother's condition and did not dare to visit her mother in prison. She could only return to school in a depressed mood.
After class in the afternoon, on the way back to the dormitory, I saw a few familiar classmates gathered together watching videos on their phones and talking about something while watching.
Nie Jinxi passed by them. They had originally avoided her like the plague, but now they did not dodge. Nie Jinxi couldn't help but feel puzzled and looked up at their mobile phones.
The video playing inside was exactly what happened today when Nie Yao was answering reporters' questions at the door of the Nie family's old house.
Nie Jinxi frowned slightly. After she left the old house and returned to school, she watched the entire video. Seeing how appropriately and gracefully Nie Yao handled the situation, she couldn't help but feel annoyed and jealous.
If she had known that these media outlets wouldn't be so harsh on Nie Yao, she should have gone out with Nie Yao to respond...
No, she should replace Nie Yao and respond herself. This way, it would not be Nie Yao who would be in the spotlight on the Internet, but herself!
Nie Jinxi watched the video at that time and didn't even want to read the netizens' praise and support for Nie Yao, so she left.
Now her classmates are also sharing and watching this video, how can she not be angry?
Nie Jinxi glanced at them coldly and was about to leave, but one of the classmates called out to her: "Nie Jinxi——"
"Is there something wrong?" Nie Jinxi asked in a light tone.
"Your sister responded to reporters at your house today. Why isn't you there?" the classmate asked curiously.
The others nodded and asked in unison, "Yeah, didn't you say you had family matters and asked for leave? You didn't respond to those media reports?"
"Nie Jinxi, after all, this rumor is all about you, so why are you asking your sister Nie Yao to respond? Are you hiding?"
One of the classmates murmured a sarcastic remark, and everyone else immediately started laughing.
Nie Jinxi's expression changed slightly. She glared at these people and said unhappily, "What does our Nie family's affairs have to do with you? Why are you meddling in other people's business?"
