Chapter 1247: Gratitude and Resentment
A flash of surprise flashed across Lu Heng's eyes. Just as he was about to say something, Li Jinxing smiled and said, "But this incident started because of you, so don't blame me for teaching you a lesson! But don't worry, I always distinguish between gratitude and resentment. I will make up for your losses..."
"Mr. Li, what do you mean..." Lu Heng was even more confused.
Nie Yao guessed Li Jinxing's plan and quickly explained to Lu Heng with a smile: "Lu Heng, his meaning is very clear. You can start work tomorrow!"
Lu Heng looked at Li Jinxing in surprise, even thinking that he had misheard, but Li Jinxing's expression of smiling but silent showed that he agreed with Nie Yao's explanation!
Of course he knew that this time his work had come to a complete halt, and even his career in the entertainment industry might come to an end. It was Li Jinxing who was making things difficult for him and warning him!
But he never expected that Li Jinxing would end his complete blockade against him so quickly, and even said he would compensate him...
"Mr. Li, did I hear correctly..." Lu Heng raised his eyebrows and said thoughtfully, "I thought you had a deep prejudice against me and wouldn't change your mind so easily!"
"You heard right!" Li Jinxing smiled slightly and explained slowly, "This matter is, after all, a misunderstanding. Yaoyao has explained it to me clearly, so I don't need to embarrass you, lest others think I'm narrow-minded!"
He paused here, then added with a smile: "If you want to thank someone, then thank my fiancée!"
Li Jinxing lowered his head and glanced at Nie Yao. Nie Yao also curled the corners of her lips slightly and smiled at him. Everything seemed to be self-evident.
Looking at the tacit smiles of the two, Lu Heng finally understood that it was indeed Nie Yao who spoke. However, he did not expect that Li Jinxing changed his mind as soon as Nie Yao spoke for him!
In the final analysis, even if Li Jinxing wanted to suppress him and discipline him, it would still be no match for Nie Yao's position in Li Jinxing's heart...
Li Jinxing was willing to let him go just because Nie Yao spoke up for him, so it was no wonder that Nie Yao could show such a sweet and trusting smile to Li Jinxing.
Lu Heng looked at the deep affection between the two and felt a strange mixture of envy and bitterness in his heart. He raised the champagne in his hand and saluted Nie Yao with a smile, saying, "If that's the case, then I want to thank Miss Nie for speaking up for me!"
Nie Yao also quickly raised her glass, shook her head and smiled faintly, "No need to be so polite, we are all friends..."
Lu Heng responded softly, "Friends?" He seemed to be a step behind Li Jinxing, so he could only be friends with Nie Yao!
He drank half a glass of champagne in one breath. Even the joy of returning to work could not offset the melancholy in his heart. He felt that the champagne had become much more bitter.
But Li Jinxing had to lower his head and gently remind Nie Yao in front of Lu Heng: "Yaoyao, don't drink too much. You attended the banquet tonight and it seems that you have already drunk more than one glass of wine..."
"It's okay, at worst I can just drink a little more." Nie Yao stuck out her tongue and made a gesture to Li Jinxing. Li Jinxing shook his head with amusement, but finally agreed to her.
The interaction between the two of them was as if no one else was around, yet there was a natural intimacy, as if no one else could interfere!
Lu Heng sighed silently in his heart and was about to leave when the host of the banquet, Hou Jia, came over with a smile, holding a wine glass.
"Lu Heng, you're finally here. I thought you weren't coming today!"
