Chapter 294 A Better Reason
Nie Yao told Li Jinxing everything about her meeting with Ji Minghuan, including the entanglement between Ji Minghuan and that woman, and the weird quotes that followed!
Li Jinxing's originally slightly frowned brows relaxed completely afterwards, and even a smile appeared on his face.
"So you told him clearly that you would not fulfill this so-called engagement, and then pissed him off?"
"That's right, he's such a petty person. After he finished swearing at me, he just ran away!"
Nie Yao couldn't help but complain bitterly at this point, "In the end, I still had to pay for the coffee. He clearly ordered both the coffee and the cake, but he still had to pay for it. Isn't that unlucky? I didn't want to waste food or money, so I could only sit there and stuff my cup of coffee and cake into my stomach!"
She still felt bad about the money she had wasted on meeting Ji Minghuan, but Li Jinxing was amused. He suppressed his laughter and patted Nie Yao on the back, saying softly, "Don't feel bad about the money. Just think of it as swatting a pesky fly to death. It won't bother you again!"
Nie Yao was also amused by his description and burst into laughter. She shook her head and said, "Don't mention flies, otherwise I'll vomit everything I just ate..."
She deliberately made a vomiting expression, and Li Jinxing quickly raised his hands and said with a smile: "Okay, I won't mention it!"
Nie Yao breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back again, and leaned on Li Jinxing's arms. She smiled cheerfully and said, "But you're right. Using the price of afternoon tea to stop him from thinking about marrying me is a big deal!"
"He's no longer able to get you anywhere, but I'm afraid he'll refuse to give up and go back to persuade his father and talk to your grandfather about the engagement..."
Li Jinxing stopped talking here.
Ji Minghuan is a proud playboy. After being slapped in the face by Nie Yao like this, he would not have any other thoughts at all. Even if he had to compromise and marry Nie Jinxi, it would be fine!
But Ji Minghuan chose to provoke Nie Yao again and again, and even lost face for it. So there is only one possibility, what he is thinking about is the assets of the entire Nie family and Nie Yao!
So even if Nie Yao repeatedly rejected him and poured cold water on him, Ji Minghuan probably wouldn't give up the engagement so easily!
"Li Jinxing, do you mean that he is very likely to put pressure on my grandfather or my father?" Nie Yao's heart, which had finally calmed down, rose to her throat again.
Maybe her father wouldn't force her out of guilt, but it's hard to say what her grandfather's attitude will be!
"He did mention just now that he wanted his father to come forward and negotiate with my grandfather..." When Nie Yao said this, his brows unconsciously frowned.
"No, I have to go back. I can't let Ji Minghuan succeed in his scheme!"
Li Jinxing saw her anxious look, held her palm, squeezed it soothingly, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I will go back with you!"
"But don't you still have business to discuss?" Nie Yao looked at him hesitantly.
"I said, the business talks are going very smoothly and have been settled in advance..." Li Jinxing curled the corners of his lips slightly, smiled and patted the back of her hand.
"Originally, I was going to go back with you to meet your Nie family, but now I have a better reason!"
He told the Nie family about his relationship with Nie Yao, and at the same time made the Nie family give up the idea of marrying Nie Yao and Ji Minghuan!
