Chapter 319: Marriage
After he said this, he turned his head to look at Nie Yao beside him. The two smiled at each other and quietly held each other's hands.
After Li Jinxing finished speaking, the originally lively banquet suddenly fell silent. Nie Jinxi, who was eating silently, accidentally knocked the wine glass next to her to the ground, making a crisp sound.
Father Nie frowned and looked at Nie Jinxi without saying anything. Yu Wanqing looked at Nie Jinxi's panic and a sneer appeared at the corner of her lips.
She knew that Nie Jinxi would be upset when she knew about this. After all, Nie Jinxi had wanted to drug and murder Nie Yao before. Who could have thought that Nie Yao would become the woman of the dignified Master Li Jiu in the blink of an eye!
No matter how much money she made, she couldn't get close to Mr. Li Jiu, who was not interested in women. Now he has become Nie Yao's boyfriend. With Nie Jinxi's competitive personality, she must be furious!
Nie Yao also glanced at Nie Jinxi who was deliberately making noise, but she just glanced at her lightly and then looked away.
Nie Jinxi didn't dare to anger Old Man Nie and Father Nie because of table manners, so she could only hurriedly clean up the mess. The maid also came over and quickly swept up the broken glass on the ground.
Before Elder Nie could express his opinion, Nie Guanglin, the second son of the Nie family, spoke first: "So Master Li Jiu came to visit today for this matter..."
He paused, revealing a look of regret. He shook his head and sighed, "It's a pity that Master Li Jiu probably doesn't know. Our Nie family... and the Ji family have long since made an alliance marriage agreement. The eldest grandson of the Nie family is to marry the young master of the Ji family!"
"I wasn't at the Nie family at all when you got engaged. What does it have to do with me?" Nie Yao frowned in disgust and answered angrily when she heard Ji Minghuan's name.
"Nie Yao, what you said is not right. You are the eldest daughter of the Nie family. How can the marriage between these two families have nothing to do with you?" Nie Guanglin shook his finger and said seriously.
Nie Yao wanted to argue, but Li Jinxing patted the back of her hand soothingly, smiled faintly, and replied slowly, "I've heard a little about the engagement, so I came here today to discuss it with Master Nie!"
Elder Nie, who had been silent the entire time, also spoke slowly at this moment: "Mr. Li, what the second elder said just now is true. Our Nie family did indeed make a marriage agreement with the Ji family a long time ago, and it would be difficult to break it now..."
As he spoke, his tone became increasingly cautious. "Of course, I, Nie, am delighted that Mr. Li has come to visit me so solemnly today. Mr. Li is well-off, but he has always been single. Now, he's suddenly dating my granddaughter, A Yao. I never expected that!"
Mr. Nie's answer was so flawless that Nie Yao couldn't help but frown.
Could it be that her grandfather really intended to let her fulfill her engagement with Ji Minghuan?
"Mr. Nie, you're too serious. I chose to be single before because I hadn't met someone I was attracted to. Now that I'm dating Nie Yao, it's also because of my heart. I, Li Jinxing, don't treat relationships as a joke!"
Li Jinxing raised his lips slightly, and spoke slowly and solemnly, "Nie Yao and I are in love with each other. I believe that Mr. Nie wouldn't be the kind of pedantic person who would forcibly break up a couple for the sake of a so-called marriage!"
"Mr. Li, you're joking..." Old Nie was amused by his words and laughed heartily. He stroked his chin and replied, "I'm very willing to support the young people's relationship, but the marriage between our two families can't be treated as a joke. Otherwise, if the news gets out, won't it be seen that our Nie family is breaking their promise?"
