Chapter 29 Warning
Father Nie's expression turned grim. He recalled the time when his daughter took off her shoes at a banquet because her heel broke and was criticized by everyone...
He was also very embarrassed at that time, but fortunately, Master Li Jiu came to the rescue and helped his daughter save face!
Now that this scene was brought up again, Father Nie couldn't help but wonder if someone did this on purpose just to embarrass his daughter Nie Yao in front of everyone!
He looked at Nie Jinxi with a hint of suspicion. Nie Jinxi felt uneasy and didn't dare to look at Nie's father. She turned to Nie Lao and said, "Grandpa, I know my sister feels ashamed that her shoes are broken and she suspects it was me. If my sister can't tolerate me, I can just move out!"
When Nie Jinxi said this, she was about to cry.
Elder Nie waved his hands and whispered, "No one can tolerate you. Don't say such depressing words. The shoes are broken, so be it. You can't ruin the harmony of your family just because of a pair of shoes!"
"Grandpa—" Nie Jinxi wanted to say something, but Old Man Nie no longer had the patience to listen.
"It's getting late, let's all go back and get some rest!"
Nie Jinxi's eyes widened in disbelief. She had never expected this matter to be dealt with so lightly.
But Old Man Nie looked a little tired, and Father Nie also gave her a warning look. She could only lower her head and respond softly: "Grandpa, good night——"
Nie Yao also said good night to Mr. Nie and Nie's father, and left Mr. Nie's room together.
When walking back to her bedroom, Nie Jinxi instantly changed her previous docile expression, frowned at Nie Yao and said, "Don't think that just because Grandpa didn't teach you a lesson this time, you can do whatever you want. I won't let this go!"
Nie Yao's lips curled slightly as she replied coldly, "Nie Jinxi, you have the guts to complain to your elders, but why don't you have the courage to admit what you did?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Nie Jinxi's face changed slightly and she denied it in panic.
Nie Yao scoffed and said indifferently, "Tricks like ruining shoes are the most base kind. This is just a small warning. Nie Jinxi, if you want to continue, I will accompany you..."
"You--" Nie Jinxi absolutely didn't believe she would say that. She stared at Nie Yao with wide eyes and hatred, thinking she had misheard.
When did this wild girl become so courageous?
"Are you so arrogant because you're relying on Master Li Jiu?" Nie Jinxi thought of this possibility and couldn't help but sneer with envy and jealousy. "Don't think you can get close to him just because he danced with you for a while! There are countless women who want to marry him, and you can't even get in line!"
Seeing the jealousy blatant on her face, Nie Yao burst into laughter and raised an eyebrow, asking, "What about you? Are you one of them? I just remember you and Ji Minghuan being so affectionate before!"
"Nie Yao--" Nie Jinxi's face was suddenly filled with shame and anger, and she wished she could jump up and cover Nie Yao's mouth.
"Alright, I'll give you that pair of worn-out shoes. Nie Jinxi, you'd better behave yourself from now on and stay out of my way, otherwise I won't be polite!"
After saying this, Nie Yao turned and went into her room, slamming the door.
Nie Jinxi was still holding what Nie Yao called a "broken shoe" in her hand, but for the first time she experienced what it meant to be unable to speak out, because if she continued to confront Nie Yao, there was no guarantee that Nie Yao would complain to Mr. Nie about her broken shoes!
Now that her foundation is unstable, she cannot leave a bad impression in Old Nie's mind, nor can she offend Father Nie who has raised her for many years!
