Chapter 19 The Wolf in the Bone
They could only look at others begging for mercy, but since Li Jinxing had spoken, no one dared to dissuade him.
Father Nie looked at the two daughters and was unwilling to step forward to help. Although he had just scolded Nie Yao, he also knew that Nie Yao's bare feet were related to these two people!
Li Jinxing looked at the two of them coldly and asked indifferently, "They say babies learn to crawl before they learn to walk. Are you not even as good as babies?"
The two daughters turned pale, and trying to endure the pain in their feet, they stood up tremblingly, supported each other, and limped out of the banquet hall, looking very embarrassed.
Father Nie coughed softly, then waved his hand and smiled at everyone, signaling the music to start and the banquet to continue.
The people who had originally surrounded Li Jinxing and Nie Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, gave up the opportunity to approach Li Jinxing and get close to him, and dispersed one after another.
Nie Yao watched this scene from the sidelines and said to Li Jinxing jokingly, "That move you just made was quite ruthless..."
"If you don't do this, they'll just keep pretending and try to scam you..."
Nie Yao burst out laughing. As expected, this Li Jinxing was a real character, with a wolf-like nature at heart!
"No matter what, thank you..."
"Are you thanking me for the gift, or for helping you out?" Li Jinxing asked with a half-smile.
"Both..." Nie Yao shrugged, lowered her head to glance at the pair of beautiful crystal shoes that fitted her feet, and answered seriously, "I admit that the scene was a bit awkward at the time, but I don't mind. At worst, I can just give up my status as a rich lady!"
"You make it sound so easy..." Li Jinxing chuckled, shook his head and sighed, "But bloodline can't be faked, and identity isn't something you can just give up if you want..."
"Who knows? After all, I've been away for so many years, and suddenly I was recognized by the family. If they wanted to recognize me earlier, they wouldn't have to wait for more than ten years!"
Nie Yao chuckled and said sarcastically, "I actually preferred my previous life!"
"Because there's no intrigue?" Li Jinxing glanced at the pair of high heels thrown not far away and said thoughtfully, "How did your previous pair of high heels break?"
"Someone is deliberately trying to trick me and make me look bad at the banquet..." Nie Yao answered almost without thinking.
"Aren't you curious about who it is?"
Nie Yao shrugged and smiled when he heard him ask this: "There are only a few candidates, it's not difficult to find them, not to mention that this method is a bit low-level..."
"It seems that you already have a candidate in mind!" Li Jinxing curled the corners of his lips slightly, his eyes swept over the members of the Nie family not far away, and then he retracted his gaze.
She had just returned and was plotted against by the Nie family. If she couldn't even deal with this little trick, it would make him a little disappointed!
At this moment, a melodious waltz music sounded, and the men at the banquet invited the women around them to be their dance partners.
There were several young people who wanted to invite Nie Yao to dance, but they hesitated when they saw Li Jinxing beside Nie Yao.
Ji Minghuan had been quietly observing Nie Yao and Li Jinxing. Seeing that the two did not have any intimate behavior, he felt relieved and walked towards Nie Yao.
However, before he could reach Nie Yao, he saw Li Jinxing saying something to Nie Yao, and Nie Yao smiled at him particularly brightly.
Then Li Jinxing put his hand on Nie Yao's waist, and Nie Yao also put her hand on his shoulder, and the two began to dance slowly to the music.
