Chapter 17 Arrives Just in Time
"No need, I'm fine like this!" Nie Yao picked up the broken high heels on the ground and prepared to leave calmly in front of everyone.
"Ayao, stop messing around. It's not nice to walk around barefoot..." Father Nie saw that Mr. Nie's face had darkened and quickly advised him.
Before Nie Yao could answer, a deep male voice penetrated the crowd and reached everyone's ears: "Yes, it's really not good to go barefoot..."
Everyone looked up and saw a tall man in a custom-made gray-blue suit, holding an exquisite gift box in his hand, slowly walking towards them.
The appearance of this man instantly caused a wave of shock at the banquet.
"This...isn't this Master Li Jiu? Why is he here?"
"Yes, I heard that he lives a secluded life and never attends such banquets, let alone such a small welcome banquet..."
"Why haven't I heard before that Master Li Jiu has any dealings with the Nie family?"
Because of Li Jinxing's arrival, the guests were excited and surprised. No one dared to stop him and automatically made way for him.
Old Master Nie and Father Nie also looked at the visitor in disbelief. They did not give this important person an invitation, so why would he come here?
Without waiting for Elder Nie to speak, Li Jinxing walked directly to Nie Yao, looked at her bare feet, shook his head and sighed softly, "This marble floor is too cold, it's still not suitable for bare feet. Fortunately, I came in time..."
"How did you find this?" Nie Yao looked at him in surprise.
"Last time you told me to bring shoes to you, so here I am..." Li Jinxing curled the corners of his lips slightly, slowly opened the exquisite gift box in front of him, and a pair of beautiful crystal shoes appeared in front of everyone.
"What beautiful shoes..." Many people exclaimed.
"This... this is a handmade product by Master Lauren. He only makes one pair a year. I heard the outer layer is made of pure crystal, and the heel is inlaid with diamonds. It can emit different light at different angles..."
A noble lady who knew a lot about shoes murmured this.
Li Jinxing took Nie Yao's hand and asked her to sit down, then personally took the pair of crystal shoes and tried to help her put them on. Nie Yao subconsciously retracted her feet and whispered, "I can do it myself—"
However, Li Jinxing firmly grasped her ankles, preventing her from dodging, and helped her put them on in front of everyone. He then smiled with satisfaction and said, "It looks like it fits perfectly. Get up and walk a few steps to try it out!"
Nie Yao stood up wearing these crystal shoes. They were indeed much more comfortable than the previous pair, and her steps were much steadier. She smiled at him and said, "Thank you!"
"You're welcome..." Li Jinxing also laughed.
The crowd watching this scene were stunned, and they couldn't even believe their eyes. Not to mention that they were surprised enough that the head of the Li family came to this banquet, he actually bent down and put shoes on the wild child adopted by the Nie family?
Is the world suddenly becoming magical?
Elder Nie also recovered from his shock and took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Li, may I ask why you are here today..."
Li Jinxing smiled slightly and replied gentlemanly, "I heard that the Nie family found their eldest granddaughter, so I came to take a look. As expected, it was the old friend I was looking for..."
"It turns out that Mr. Li Jiu knows my daughter!" Father Nie couldn't help but say excitedly. If he was embarrassed by the previous incident of going barefoot, he was so proud now!
Many business people wanted to establish a relationship with the ninth-generation heir of the Li family but had no way to do so, and his daughter turned out to be an old friend of Mr. Li Jiu!
