Chapter 412: Do Your Homework
Just as others were whispering about this, Li Jinxing came over with two glasses of champagne and chuckled softly, "Well said..."
Nie Jinxi was stunned. She didn't expect to see Master Li Jiu here. Her eyes lit up at first, and then she called out cautiously, "Master Li Jiu, long time no see—"
Li Jinxing didn't respond to her greeting. Instead, he handed Nie Yao a glass of champagne and said with a smile, "Next time you go on an archaeological expedition, take your sister with you so she can gain some experience and avoid being confined to her own little world and becoming complacent..."
Nie Yao couldn't help but burst out laughing, shaking her head and saying jokingly, "Forget it. I'm afraid of her. She'd be so scared when she saw a spider or a scorpion that she'd go home to her mom. I can't handle that!"
"That's right. If you get stung by a poisonous spider, you might not be able to return alive..." Li Jinxing also took her call, nodded and smiled in agreement.
Nie Yao and Li Jinxing were chatting happily, while Nie Jinxi's face turned pale and blue, as if she had become a clown.
Not only did they ignore her, they made fun of her and made such disgusting and horrible assumptions!
She wanted to just walk away, but she couldn't bear not being able to talk to Master Li Jiu, so she couldn't help but say, "I've heard that Master Li Jiu has mysophobia. How could he tolerate having a sister who deals with these disgusting things every day around you?"
Li Jinxing was originally joking with Nie Yao, but when he heard Nie Jinxi ask this, his eyes fell on Nie Jinxi and the smile on his face disappeared.
"That's because, in this world, some people are more poisonous than snakes and scorpions, Nie Jinxi, don't you agree?"
Li Jinxing's voice was slow and low, and his sharp eyes looked into the depths of Nie Jinxi's eyes. Nie Jinxi felt as if he had seen through her whole body, and she trembled with fear.
"Haha, Master Li Jiu is really good at joking..." After saying this, Nie Jinxi didn't even have the courage to stay where she was, and was about to leave in disgrace with the champagne in her hand.
Seeing this, Nie Yao called out to Nie Jinxi.
"Sister, do you have anything else to tell me?" Nie Jinxi asked with a wry smile, subconsciously glancing at Master Li Jiu who was standing beside Nie Yao, feeling more and more indignant.
"Nie Jinxi, just because I didn't argue with you doesn't mean I know less about paintings than you do!"
Nie Yao pointed at the painting in front of them and said to Nie Jinxi in a deep voice, "You only know that the artist of this painting committed suicide, but you don't know that this painting was painted in his early years. Although he was poor and miserable at that time, he still had hope for the world!"
She paused here and continued, "This painting is called Dawn. It was created by an emerging artist named Shang De in his early years. He later committed suicide due to depression and an overdose of drugs!"
Nie Jinxi stared at Nie Yao in disbelief. She never expected that Nie Yao knew more than she did!
"Next time you want to show off your knowledge, remember to do your homework first, so as not to spill half the bottle of knowledge and make a fool of yourself!"
After Nie Yao finished speaking, Nie Jinxi's face felt hot and she even felt that Master Li Jiu was looking at her with sneer. In the end, she lowered her head and walked away dejectedly with the champagne in her hand.
Because of Nie Jinxi's departure, the spectators around felt that the scene was boring and they all withdrew their gazes. Their surprise towards Nie Yao rose again.
It seems that Nie Yao is really a person of substance, unlike some rich daughters who are all show and no substance!
