Chapter 466 His own decision
"We initially thought they were after the ancient Egyptian artifacts, but Li Jinxing used another artifact, the all-gold Spear of Anubis, to test it and discovered they weren't after that. That's when we confirmed they were after this one, your Li family's heirloom!"
Nie Yao paused here, then spoke slowly and seriously, "In fact, Li Jinxing's decision to donate this artifact to the Egyptian Antiquities Bureau was also carefully considered. This artifact may not be safe in the Li family, so it is better to hand it back and let the Egyptian authorities protect it!"
The entire hall fell into deathly silence.
After an unknown amount of time, Li Yaofeng finally said calmly, "Are you done?"
Nie Yao nodded. She felt that what she said was very sincere. As long as Li Jinxing's elder brother could listen to her, he would understand Li Jinxing's intention!
"You keep saying this artifact should be handed over to Egypt, but you forget that it belongs to our Li family and is our heirloom!"
Li Yaofeng snorted coldly and said bluntly, "Nie Yao, you're quite generous. I'd like to ask, if your Nie family had such an important heirloom, would you also hide it from your elders and hand it over directly to the country?"
Nie Yao was stunned. She didn't expect Li Yaofeng to ask this. After thinking for a moment, she replied hesitantly, "I will discuss this matter with my elders..."
"Hypocrisy!" Li Yaofeng sneered and interrupted her mercilessly: "You might not even be able to do it yourself, so why should Li Jinxing do it? How can we allow an outsider like you to dictate what happens to our Li family's things? You think you can fool Jinxing, and you can fool me like this?"
Nie Yao was so angry at his criticism that she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
She explained so much just now, but it seemed to be in vain... Li Jinxing's elder brother seemed to believe that it was her who instigated Li Jinxing to do this!
But she didn't want to say much, so she could only shake her head helplessly and sigh. Just as she was about to say something, Li Jinxing spoke coldly.
"Brother, I said, this is my own decision!"
Li Jinxing lowered his head, looked at his eldest brother who was sitting there, and asked in a deep voice, word by word: "Brother, you have also seen that this so-called heirloom has harmed so many people in our Li family. My parents' accidents and the breakdown of our family are all related to it!"
Li Jinxing said this, ignoring the gloomy expression on his elder brother Li Yaofeng's face, and his voice became even deeper: "It's not a family heirloom at all, but a curse, a curse on our entire family! As long as it stays with the Li family, our Li family will never have a good life."
"How dare you!" Li Yaofeng shouted harshly and threw the coffee cup in his hand directly at Li Jinxing.
Li Jinxing took a step back, and the coffee cup fell at his feet with a crisp sound, and the unfinished coffee splashed all over Li Jinxing.
Nie Yao was startled. She had never expected that Li Jinxing's elder brother had such a bad temper. She quickly pulled Li Jinxing over and took the paper towel on the table to wipe him clean. She asked with concern, "Are you burned?"
Li Jinxing shook his head and did not back down because of his elder brother's anger. He continued coldly: "Brother, I am telling the truth! Even if you don't want to admit it, this is the fact! This thing has killed our parents and hurt you to this point. I don't want it to continue to harm the Li family!"
