Chapter 1248: Being a Gunner
Hou Jia walked over to Lu Heng, jokingly said something, then looked at Li Jinxing and Nie Yao in front of him, and said with an apologetic smile: "Jinxing, Miss Nie, I'm sorry, I invited Lu Heng to the party, you don't mind, right?"
Nie Yao had already guessed Hou Jia's intention of inviting Lu Heng. She sneered inwardly and shook her head, saying, "How could that be? Lu Heng is also my friend..."
"So that's how it is. No wonder I saw the two of them responding to the rumors so tacitly, one after the other, as if they had a private agreement!"
Hou Jia deliberately said this and subconsciously looked at Li Jinxing. Sure enough, she saw Li Jinxing frowning slightly, with a smug smile on his lips. Pretending to have said something wrong, he patted his mouth and said with an apologetic smile: "Sorry, I shouldn't have brought up this topic..."
"It was just a groundless rumor deliberately made up by paparazzi to attract traffic!" Lu Heng replied indifferently.
Hou Jia pretended to agree with Lu Heng, nodded and smiled, then sighed softly, "That's true. Some paparazzi are indeed abominable. But Lu Heng, you should also be careful. You are a big star, and our Miss Nie is also a well-known figure among the daughters of wealthy families. If the two of you get together, it will inevitably attract more attention..."
Even though Lu Heng usually had a good relationship with Hou Jia, he sensed a hint of provocation when he heard Hou Jia's words and frowned unhappily.
He originally thought that Hou Jia invited him to the banquet because she really wanted to help him build some connections. Now seeing Hou Jia's behavior, he finally understood her intention!
Looking at Hou Jia deliberately talking about the unfounded rumors about herself and Nie Yao, but her eyes were always on Li Jinxing, Lu Heng suddenly understood and sneered in his heart.
It turned out that this woman wanted to use herself to provoke Li Jinxing, deliberately making Li Jinxing suspect that Nie Yao was cheating...
He vaguely understood what Hou Jia meant to Li Jinxing, but using such a method was unworthy of her title as a female business elite. It seemed clumsy and ridiculous!
"It was indeed me who implicated Miss Nie this time. The paparazzi originally wanted to make a big fuss about me!"
When Lu Heng said this, a cold smile appeared on his lips. He said, "It's just that Miss Hou's reminder is correct. I should be careful to avoid being used as a pawn by others for no reason!"
The expression on Hou Jia's face suddenly became stiff. He didn't know how to respond for a moment and could only respond with a wry smile.
Seeing that Lu Heng was about to mention Hou Jia's name, Nie Yao almost couldn't hold back the smile on her lips.
"Lu Heng, you're joking. I'm reminding you for your own good..." Hou Jia took a moment to atone for himself, saying with a smile, "Now that the misunderstanding between you, Mr. Li, and Miss Nie has been resolved, I, as the host of the banquet, have done a good deed!"
When Nie Yao heard what Hou Jia said, she actually admired her. Hou Jia's intention was clearly to sow discord, but now her words sounded like she was trying to mediate the conflict with good intentions!
Without waiting for Nie Yao to speak, Li Jinxing said calmly, "Since Lu Heng is my fiancée's friend, he is also my friend, Li Jinxing. How big of a misunderstanding can there be between friends?"
In one sentence, Hou Jia's self-flattering words were casually denied!
Nie Yao secretly praised Li Jinxing in her heart, and also agreed with a smile: "That's right, Li Jinxing and I have the same friends..."
