Chapter 18: Rescue
"We not only know each other..." Li Jinxing chuckled and subconsciously looked at Nie Yao.
Nie Yao thought he would mention how she saved him, but he just gave her a mysterious smile and said calmly, "She is my Cinderella..."
As soon as Li Jinxing finished speaking, there was another uproar.
Nie Yao's face was filled with black lines. What the hell is Cinderella? What nonsense is Li Jinxing talking about in front of everyone?
Nie Jinxi, who was standing by, bit her lower lip in disbelief. She had also heard a little about this Mr. Li Jiu.
But she had heard a few things from her biological mother. She knew that Master Li Jiu had a powerful and mysterious background, and he was also a golden bachelor. It was a pity that he lived in seclusion, and no one could get close to him...
But she didn't expect that she would finally have the honor to see Lushan's true face in such an occasion, in front of Nie Yao!
Before Nie Yao came back, as the eldest granddaughter of the Nie family, she had her fair share of men courting her, but none of them could compare to Ji Minghuan.
Even so, she was the one who showed weakness most of the time between her and Ji Minghuan, and Ji Minghuan never took the initiative to help her put on her shoes once...
Lin Anqi, who had originally wanted to watch her grandfather and stepfather give Nie Yao a good beating, couldn't help but whisper to her mother, "Mom, is this Mr. Li Jiu really that powerful? Why is everyone so polite to him?"
"Of course, the Li family is so powerful that no one present, including your Grandpa Nie, dares to offend him. They all respectfully address him as Master Jiu... In terms of power and status, he is as unattainable as the stars in the sky. He has never attended such banquets before..." Mother Lin sighed in a low voice.
"Mom, is it that exaggerated? He is so young and his name is Jiu Ye. I thought he was an old man!" Lin Anqi muttered unconvinced.
"Don't talk nonsense! He's the ninth generation heir of the Li family. He became the head of the Li family at such a young age. His methods are unfathomable. Shut your mouth and don't mess with this Mr. Li Jiu!"
Lin Anqi pouted unhappily and looked at Nie Yao with envy and jealousy. How could such a powerful figure know a wild girl like Nie Yao?
"Mr. Nie, I heard that you prepared a welcome banquet for Nie Yao today. I came here uninvited without an invitation. I hope you don't mind..." Li Jinxing spoke with a smile again at this time.
Elder Nie came back to his senses and quickly waved his hand, saying, "How could that be? It was our oversight. We didn't know Mr. Li was in this city and didn't send the invitation to your house. It's our honor to have you here..."
"I hope my arrival won't affect everyone's interest..." Li Jinxing said politely, looking at the two young ladies who were lying on the ground crying in pain, with a bit more coldness in his eyes.
"These two people..."
The two rich girls who originally wanted to teach Nie Yao a lesson but were beaten up by Nie Yao instead, couldn't help but shudder when they met Li Jinxing's gaze.
"I just heard them screaming. It seems the injuries weren't severe enough..."
As soon as Li Jinxing finished speaking, many people gasped. The two daughters also lost their momentum and immediately said with tears in their eyes: "Who said that? Our feet hurt so much that we can't stand up. Call an ambulance for us..."
"Since you can't stand up, just crawl out!" After Li Jinxing said this, the two of them widened their eyes in fear, thinking that Li Jinxing was joking.
But his cold expression told everyone that he was not joking!
