Chapter 13 Fiancé?
"I thought you were going somewhere, but it turns out you were just out for a drink. It's a shame everyone's waiting for you. It turns out you're too embarrassed to show off even after you've changed your identity..."
Nie Yao didn't want to argue with her, but Lin Anqi kept provoking her, and under the influence of alcohol, she didn't want to tolerate this stepdaughter any longer!
"Regardless of whether I have something to show for it or not, I am the legitimate granddaughter of the Nie family. Who do you think you are? You don't even have the last name Nie. How dare you lecture me?"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Lin Anqi was so angry that her face turned pale and her body was shaking.
It was fine that she was suppressed by Nie Jinxi before, but now this wild girl came back and dared to mock her like this!
"My last name isn't Nie, but don't get too cocky. Even if you return to the Nie family, it won't offset the vulgarity you've developed growing up outside!"
Lin Anqi thought of something when she said this. She raised her eyebrows and said proudly, "Everything you have has been taken away by Nie Jinxi. Even your fiancé is hers. How sad..."
"Fiancé?" Nie Yao was stunned, thinking she had misheard. Where did her fiancé come from?
Seeing her stunned look, Lin Anqi thought she had hit a sore spot and continued with a sneer, "Yes, the Nie and Ji families arranged a marriage a long time ago. Originally, they wanted to marry the eldest granddaughter of the Nie family, but when they heard that a wild girl like you had returned, they rejected it with disgust!"
Before Nie Yao could answer, a female voice stopped her: "Enough, Lin Anqi——"
When Lin Anqi saw that it was Nie Jinxi who came, she didn't dare to offend her openly. She could only curl her lips and said angrily, "I'm telling the truth..."
"You talk too much!" Nie Jinxi said, then walked over to Nie Yao and said to Lin Anqi, "It's getting late, go back to your rooms and get some sleep!"
Lin Anqi snorted coldly and turned away.
Nie Jinxi then turned around and looked at Nie Yao, saying with a wry smile, "Don't take her words to heart. She's just jealous..."
Nie Yao had just argued with Lin Anqi for a while, and she had sobered up a lot. Upon hearing what Nie Jinxi said, she asked thoughtfully, "Is the fiancé she mentioned just now true?"
The smile on Nie Jinxi's face froze. After a brief silence, she nodded and replied, "Yes..."
Seeing that Nie Yao didn't react to her affirmative answer, Nie Jinxi asked tentatively, "If you want to fight for it, it's not impossible. As long as Grandpa steps in..."
Nie Yao smiled noncommittally. Fight for it? What was there to fight for when a fiancé, who had never met her and had already passed her over based on her experience, was there anything worth fighting for?
"I'll fight for it, but the name Lin Anqi mentioned just now was Ji Minghuan. Was it Ji Minghuan? That name sounds familiar..."
Nie Yao muttered doubtfully. Nie Jinxi's palms began to sweat. She quickly replied with a smile, "Maybe you've seen it in a magazine..."
Nie Yao didn't ask any more questions and went straight back to her bedroom.
Nie Jinxi finally breathed a sigh of relief and stood quietly outside Nie Yao's door, watching her close the door in front of her. She couldn't help but think of the day when her identity was revealed and Nie Yao was found and confirmed as the eldest granddaughter!
She took a deep breath, not knowing how long she had been standing there, and even less knowing that someone was hiding in the dark and watching this scene.
When she returned to her room, a message suddenly popped up on her phone: "Nie Yao will come back and take back everything that originally belonged to you. You should think twice before letting her shine at the welcome dinner!"
Nie Jinxi frowned. If Nie Yao's welcome banquet went off the charts, she might not only gain attention and status, but also steal men away from her. This was truly a ticking time bomb for her...
She subconsciously tightened her grip on the phone and secretly made up her mind.
