Chapter 1163: Identification is still needed
In front of Mr. Li Jiu, Nie Jinxi was even more reluctant to admit that she had stolen it, and pointed at the jewelry on the table and said to Nie Yao.
Nie Yao picked up the set of pigeon blood ruby jewelry and looked at it carefully for a moment. It was the same as what she saw in the video, including the other brooches.
"These are the ones. I didn't miss any of them!" Nie Jinxi saw that she was still looking at the jewelry she had returned, and was afraid that she would say something unpleasant again, so she took the initiative to speak.
Nie Yao put down the jewelry, glanced at the clock on the wall, and smiled faintly at Nie Jinxi, saying, "Well, you returned the items within twelve hours, so you kept your promise. I won't charge you with theft..."
Nie Jinxi breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this. Just as she was about to say something, Nie Yao spoke again.
"However, I'm not an expert in authenticating jewelry, and I'm not sure whether the jewelry you've returned is genuine or a fake. So I'll find a professional jewelry appraiser to do an appraisal tomorrow!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Nie Jinxi's face darkened. She asked unhappily, "Nie Yao, what do you mean by that? Do you think I'm going to pull a switch and keep the real one and give you the fake one?"
"It's hard to say. Isn't that how it's played out in many movies?" Nie Yao shrugged and replied jokingly, "I'm just being safe!"
"Nie Yao, don't go too far!"
Nie Jinxi clenched her fists in anger, not caring about Li Jinxing's presence. She frowned and shouted, "You came to school to look for me today, causing my classmates to talk about me and damaging my reputation. I haven't even gotten over it yet. Now I've come all the way here in the middle of the night to return your things, and you're still questioning me like this..."
After she said this, her eyes began to turn red, tears welled up in her eyes, and her voice suddenly became aggrieved.
"You can't bully me just because you're the eldest grandson's daughter!"
Nie Yao watched her coldly as she started acting again, even waiting for her tears to fall, and took the initiative to tear off a tissue and handed it to her.
Nie Jinxi was stunned for a moment, looking at Nie Yao in confusion, and did not take the tissue that Nie Yao handed to her.
Nie Yao curled her lips slightly and said with a smile, "Don't you feel wronged? I see you're about to cry, so I'm giving you a tissue in advance to prevent your tears from smudging your makeup!"
"You--" Nie Jinxi never expected that Nie Yao would actually say such a thing. She was so angry that she forgot to continue pretending to be aggrieved, and naturally her tears stopped falling.
"After all, it's not easy to squeeze out a few tears..." Nie Yao looked at her instantly changing expression and sneered, "But Nie Jinxi, since you love acting so much, you should have applied to the acting department. After graduation, you could become a good actor. You would have inherited your mother's legacy, right?"
Nie Jinxi was so angry that she was shaking. Nie Yao's words not only mocked her, but also mocked her mother!
Her mother had found her father and got her pregnant because she found it difficult to make it in the entertainment industry...
"Nie Yao, don't go too far!" Nie Jinxi glared at Nie Yao with wide eyes and gritted her teeth, "How did I offend you? Why do you keep targeting me like this? I haven't had a peaceful life since you came back!"
"Nie Jinxi, you've lived in peace for almost eighteen years. Isn't that enough?" Nie Yao asked with a half-smile.
