Chapter 257 Checking in?
She asked tentatively while quietly looking at the woman who appeared out of nowhere.
She was dressed so simply, and she looked good, but her attire was too sloppy, and she looked shabby...
If she hadn't seen with her own eyes that Li Jinxing, who had been talking to her with a blank expression, had a much richer expression after seeing this woman appear, she would never have even looked at this poor-looking woman!
While she was looking at Nie Yao, Nie Yao also looked at the woman who had smiled brightly just now.
The woman had delicate makeup on and was wearing an obviously expensive suit. Her attire was not much different from those rich daughters that Nie Yao had seen!
The only difference is probably that the woman in front of him has sharper eyes and exudes a proud and tough temperament. She doesn't look like a rich girl raised in a wealthy family, but rather like a female business elite!
"She's my girlfriend, Nie Yao..." Li Jinxing said this, gently put his arm around Nie Yao's shoulders, and introduced her to the woman in front of him, "This is the director of Fu'an Group, Ms. Hou!"
"Hello!" Nie Yao nodded politely.
"So it's Mr. Li Jiu's girlfriend!" Ms. Hou nodded in sudden realization, jokingly saying, "I didn't expect you'd come here to check on him. Mr. Li Jiu, your girlfriend looks really nervous and can't leave his side!"
Although she said this with a smile, Nie Yao clearly felt the gunpowder and sarcasm in her words.
Nie Yao was just about to explain that she was not there to check on him, but Li Jinxing actually agreed with her and smiled slightly.
"Really? If that's the case, then I'll definitely reward her well..."
Nie Yao looked puzzled. Hou Jia, who had wanted to mock Nie Yao, suddenly changed his expression and couldn't help but look at Nie Yao again.
But this time, the gaze was more malicious.
"Master Li Jiu, when did your taste become that of an ordinary college student? Looking at her appearance, you should give her a little more money so she can have a chance to dress up properly. Otherwise, wouldn't it be embarrassing to take her out?"
Hou Jia said this, shook his head and sighed softly: "Look at other big men, they all come out with their secretaries or girlfriends, they all look glamorous! Master Li Jiu is rich and powerful, even if he has a beautiful woman in a golden house, he still has this pampered look!"
These words, both explicitly and implicitly, were mocking Nie Yao for not being qualified to be Li Jinxing's girlfriend, and at most she could only be considered Li Jinxing's "lover"!
And the maintenance fee is not enough!
Nie Yao had originally been reluctant to argue with this woman out of consideration for Li Jinxing's sake, but she couldn't bear her mockery. She simply sneered and said, "Ms. Hou, have you ever heard of the saying 'all that glitters is gold, all that lies within'? Whether it's a person or an object, no matter how well it's packaged, if the inside is already rotten, what's the point? Sooner or later, others will see through it..."
Hou Jia's face turned pale and his brows furrowed after hearing these words. He asked unhappily, "What do you mean? Are you mocking me?"
"Ms. Hou, I'm just telling you a truth, in response to what you just said!"
Nie Yao smiled faintly and replied casually, "Don't take it personally!"
"You--" Hou Jia glared at her angrily. She didn't expect that Nie Yao, who was dressed so inconspicuously, was so eloquent and actually used this method to mock her!
