Chapter 410 I Can't Understand
Nie Jinxi originally wanted to come to the art exhibition to meet Ji Minghuan who was also attending today's event, but seeing that Ji Minghuan was surrounded by people chatting, she decided to go meet Nie Yao first.
"What are you looking at so intently?" Nie Yao was standing in front of an oil painting when she heard a familiar female voice.
"I'm looking at this oil painting!" Nie Yao answered politely, his eyes never leaving the painting in front of him.
"Haha, this oil painting has a great origin. Can you understand it?" Nie Jinxi asked with a sneer. There were only her and Nie Yao here, so she didn't need to care about other people's eyes. She just mocked Nie Yao.
“Although this painting is gloomy, it depicts a glimmer of dawn within the gloom, suggesting that the artist has finally seen light after a painful struggle.”
Nie Yao said this in a light tone, and Nie Jinxi shook her head and sneered.
"You are wrong. The artist of this painting did not see the light of day. In fact, he committed suicide after finishing this painting!"
After Nie Jinxi finished speaking, she saw Nie Yao's surprised look, and her mood immediately brightened. A sneer appeared on the corner of her lips, and she shook her head and sighed, "Since you don't understand, don't pretend to be profound here. You grew up outside and have never learned art appreciation. Why bother yourself, sister?"
She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the word "sister", but the sarcasm in her words was too obvious.
Nie Jinxi didn't mind annoying Nie Yao. In fact, it was better if Nie Yao was angry. Anyway, many people at the scene already felt that Nie Yao was a joke and didn't behave like a daughter of a wealthy family at all!
However, Nie Yao was not angry at Nie Jinxi's sarcasm. She just glanced at her calmly and said, "Look, you seem to have learned art appreciation very well?"
"Although I wouldn't dare say I'm particularly good, my family has hired teachers to educate me in art since I was young. I'm definitely much better than my sister..."
Nie Jinxi took a sip of champagne, then glanced at Nie Yao and chuckled softly, "Sister, your outfit reminds me of the work clothes you wore when you first came back to the Nie family! Sister, you're already the daughter of a wealthy family, yet you still dress so casually regardless of the occasion. I really admire you!"
Nie Yao knew she was mocking her outfit, but she wasn't annoyed. She smiled slightly and said, "There's some truth to the saying 'clothes make the man.' I suppose you often dress up to prove yourself at these events."
Nie Yao raised an eyebrow and asked back. Nie Jinxi did not doubt him and nodded happily and replied, "Of course..."
But after she said this, she saw a mocking smile flash across Nie Yao's lips, and Nie Jinxi realized that she was implying that she still had to rely on fancy clothes to prove her charm, and her face changed slightly in anger.
Seeing that Nie Yao's facial features were still brighter than hers even without makeup, Nie Jinxi subconsciously tightened the wine glass in her hand.
When she was little, she could still fool people. When she grew up, she boasted that even if she was not a super beauty, her appearance was still pretty among the wealthy. But when Nie Yao came back, no matter how she dressed up, she was outshined when standing next to Nie Yao!
Even her roommates, while she was away, were discussing Nie Yao's beauty, saying that Nie Yao was brighter and more elegant than themselves, and had the demeanor of a noble daughter!
Perhaps even Ji Minghuan thought so, so after Nie Yao came back and amazed everyone, Ji Minghuan began to turn his attention to Nie Yao and abandoned her!
