Chapter 419 Qualifications
Facing Li Jinxing's half-jealous, half-warning look, Nie Yao couldn't help but laugh a little, but still shook her head and answered without hesitation: "Of course not, he and I are not related at all, I won't accept any gifts from him!"
Li Jinxing finally revealed a satisfied smile. He glanced at Ji Minghuan, who had a grim expression on his face, and his smile was filled with a hint of sarcasm. "It seems you misunderstood. She didn't agree, and you weren't the one to answer the question. You are not qualified to buy this painting!"
Ji Minghuan's face turned pale and blue. He thought that Nie Yao's initiative to answer the questions meant that she agreed to accept his gift, but he didn't expect that Nie Yao would go back on her word and slap him in the face in front of Li Jinxing and the gallery manager!
He was so angry that his teeth were itching. If she had refused from the beginning, why would he be here, like a fool, answering questions with her?
Nor would he be laughed at in person by Li Jinxing like this!
Ji Minghuan looked at Nie Yao. This woman always refuted his dignity again and again. It was really hateful... But she was completely different from Nie Jinxi. She never tried to please him, and she knew a lot, which made him unable to help but be attracted to her!
"I'm not qualified, so how can you be qualified?" Ji Minghuan was unwilling to be ridiculed by Li Jinxing, and couldn't help but retorted.
"I'm not qualified, but Nie Yao is. As long as she wants it, I'll buy it for her!" Li Jinxing said with a half-smile, and said to the gallery manager who froze in front of him, "Please go backstage to handle the formalities. No need to negotiate the price, we'll buy this painting!"
"Okay, please follow me--" The person in charge nodded quickly and made a respectful invitation gesture, then sent someone to carefully take down the painting hanging on the wall, and led Nie Yao and Li Jinxing to the backstage.
Li Jinxing directly held Nie Yao's hand, the two smiled at each other, and then left Ji Minghuan's sight.
Ji Minghuan widened his eyes, staring at the departing figures of Li Jinxing and Nie Yao, his clenched hands, his face as gloomy as water, and his fists clenched subconsciously.
Li...Jin...Xing...
If it weren't for him, Nie Yao wouldn't have the courage to slap him in the face again and again and reject his advances!
From the beginning until now, every time he showed up, Nie Yao would be taken away right in front of him!
Someone showed kindness to him without saying a word, but then left intimately with Li Jinxing in the blink of an eye. This was a great humiliation to Ji Minghuan!
At this moment, a familiar and gentle female voice came into Ji Minghuan's ears.
"Minghuan, stop looking. Do you know why our Nie family rejected your marriage with Nie Yao?"
Ji Minghuan lowered his head, looked at Nie Jinxi who had come over at some point, and asked in a deep voice, "Why?"
"Of course it's because of Master Li Jiu. Just before your engagement was called off, she brought Master Li Jiu to visit. Grandpa and father weighed the pros and cons and agreed to Master Li Jiu and Nie Yao's relationship!"
Nie Jinxi said this with some jealousy, then raised her head to look at Ji Minghuan. Seeing that he was frowning, she felt even more jealous of Nie Yao.
"Minghuan, I never thought you were inferior to Master Li Jiu, but Nie Yao pretends to be innocent and doesn't care about the family property. In fact, deep down she is a snobbish woman who only has eyes for Master Li Jiu's wealth. Now, relying on Master Li Jiu, she even dares to turn against her grandfather and father!"
After Nie Jinxi finished speaking, Ji Minghuan's brows furrowed even more tightly. He whispered, "Are you telling the truth? Did she really fall out with your grandfather?"
